Chapter 168: Cleanup
Li Qing spent half a month to build the city, with a castle in the center, several large areas around it, barracks, and possible trading areas.
Then all the new recruits in the Divine Realm were transferred here, and together with the elite troops, the total strength was exactly 10,000.
Then, 20,000 civilians were transferred out from the divine realm. In addition to mining, their main purpose was to add some popularity to the city.
After finishing these, Li Qing handed over the operation of the city and mining to his subordinates, and he began to concentrate on studying magic.
He came to this plane mainly to avoid the early limelight and had no special purpose.
There have been obvious progress in the recent research on magic pattern construction and war magic, which makes him very interested in continuing to hide.
But he was not just a stay-at-home. During this period, An Erqiu sent some ground teams to wander around the area from time to time, looking for possible rare resources.
Every day, giant dragons are sent out to wander around, looking for big monsters hiding in various places, or whether there are dinosaur tribes or powerful beasts in the distance.
While waiting for the city to stabilize, he would take his brothers out every once in a while to clear out the powerful and ferocious beasts nearby.
The first one to be chopped down was the tenth-level wind pterosaur that had been encountered before.
After finding out the exact location, Li Qing personally went out with Dragon Guard and Dragon Magic. Twenty-four giant dragons came out in full force and blocked the Wind God Pterosaur between the two peaks.
That guy built a huge dragon's nest on the right peak. From afar, you can see the wind pterosaur lying on the mountainside surrounded by strong winds.
Five giant dragons acting as bait approached from the left peak and were immediately discovered. The Quetzalcoatl immediately flew up and pounced on them.
But just after rushing out of the giant peak on the left, the Quetzalcoatlus seemed to sense something and braked halfway, then alertly and quickly increased its altitude to prepare to turn around.
But at this moment, an even larger black shadow suddenly flew out from behind Zuo Feng.
Li Qing transformed himself into an ancient dragon, restrained his breath and hid behind a peak. When the Wind God Pterosaur approached, he rushed out. With his terrifying body whose wingspan was fifty meters higher than that of the Wind God Pterosaur, he caught the Wind God Pterosaur with extremely inconsistent agility.
The terrifying aura from the Ancestral Ancient Dragon caused the Wind God Pterosaur to let out a long, shrill roar. A strong wind suddenly blew from its body. An invisible force field forcibly bounced the Ancestral Ancient Dragon away. The dragon soared into the sky, wrapped in a green stream of light, and flew several kilometers away in an instant.
Li Qing was a little surprised, but he continued to chase after him.
The other men split into two groups and appeared behind the Quetzalcoatl several times to intercept it.
The Wind God Pterosaur immediately let out a shrill scream, and an invisible force field exploded, spreading to a very far distance in an instant. Then, wind suddenly started to blow in the space, and strong winds began to surge in the sky, with countless sharp air currents rolling up.
"The Secret of the Holy Land!"
This is a big move that any being will obtain after being promoted to the tenth-level Sanctuary. It can strengthen any hero skill or core skill again and make it the core ability of the Sanctuary.
There can only be one such core ability of the sanctuary, not multiple ones.
Even if Li Qing is promoted to the tenth level in the future, he still has to choose one from his several core abilities.
If nothing unexpected happens, it can only be the core ability of the dragon body of the ancient ancestor dragon.
This choice must be the most important one, because when you are promoted to Legend in the future, you will choose to make one ability legendary, and you can only make the core ability in the Sanctuary legendary.
This Wind God Pterosaur is at the tenth level, which is equivalent to the tenth level of the Sanctuary. Naturally, it will have its own Sanctuary secret skills.
As the strong wind surged, a super tornado vortex with a diameter of more than five kilometers and an unknown height began to take shape. The sharp wind blades rotated rapidly, frantically killing all living things within the range of the vortex.
"The secret of this holy land..."
The ancient dragon hovered in the tornado vortex, allowing the wind blade to cut through it. He could feel that the wind blade contained some strange power, which was sharper than a normal wind blade.
But the body of the ancient dragon was too powerful. Its wingspan of 250 meters was much larger than that of the Quetzalcoatl, and its body was also more sturdy. They were not at the same level at all.
The wind blade cut through without even a spark.
Not only him, even the Dragon Guardian who stopped at the edge of the vortex could withstand the cutting of the wind blade and stay in the vortex.
Ordinary space dragons are not able to do this, as they are only level six, and the concentration of their blood is not high enough to ignore the difference of four levels.
The ancient dragon flapped its wings and rushed towards the center of the vortex against the wind blades in the sky.
The Wind God Pterosaur screamed towards the sky again, and the vortex shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the wind blades inside became more dense.
At the same time, the Wind God Pterosaur flapped its wings continuously, condensing into giant wind blades tens of meters wide that slashed over.
The ancient dragon raised its claws and pressed them in the air. An invisible force field pushed forward, and the giant wind blades collapsed layer by layer as the ancient dragon moved forward.
Soon it rushed to the center of the wind blade vortex. A trace of fear flashed in the blue pupils of the Wind God Pterosaur. The huge ancient dragon slammed into the transparent force field like a mountain.
"boom!"
After a brief stalemate of a few seconds, the tornado blade vortex suddenly expanded and exploded, with uncontrollable wind blades flying in all directions.
When the wind blades all over the sky dissipated, the scene of the ancient dragon holding down the falling Wind God Pterosaur was revealed. The huge size difference between the two was like an eagle preying on a wild goose.
Although wild geese are big, they are not as strong as eagles.
"boom!"
The ancient dragon smashed the wind pterosaur hard onto the ground. The horrific impact shattered the weeds and trees on the ground into pieces and rushed in all directions.
The extremely strong dragon legs stepped on the struggling Wind God Pterosaur, the ancient dragon roared to the sky, and the terrifying dragon power exploded in all directions like a substance.
This Quetzalcoatl is also very stubborn, and even in this situation it dares to raise its head and roar.
After showing off, the ancient dragon lowered his head, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, and he chopped off its head with a breath of space wave blade dragon breath.
"madness!"
If you surrender, Li Qing may not necessarily kill you.
Li Qing was deeply impressed by the ability of this Wind God Pterosaur. It was not powerful enough to fight against opponents of the same level, but it was too powerful to be used to bully weak opponents.
The sweeping wind blades from the sky were a disaster for the ground troops.
After defeating it, Li Qing still had the idea of taming it as a war beast in the divine realm, but it was crushed and still full of ferocity, so he could not let it stay.
He has no shortage of war beasts now, but he dares not use the authority of the space dragons he has, as he cannot afford to raise them. How can he have the time to coax a beast with such ferocity?
As soon as the wind pterosaur died, Li Qing's rank jumped directly to level seven, and he felt more power surging from his body.
He had been stuck at level six for a long time, so he already had enough mana to advance to level seven.
This Wind God Pterosaur was of level ten, and he killed it alone, jumping four levels. The combat experience he had accumulated was enough for him to be promoted to level seven in one go.
There was no big change after raising his rank, but Li Qing could feel more power surging out of his body. In the days to come, his physique would slowly grow until it reached the seventh rank.
Promoted to level 7 and gained 1 extraordinary hero skill point.
It might be useful for ordinary extraordinary people, as they can upgrade an ordinary LV5 hero skill to LV6, but it is useless to Li Qing.
Adding this point, it makes a total of 4 points, and I am just one point away from upgrading one more talent.
It is worth mentioning that Li Qing does not have to choose the mage profession to upgrade his rank now. He can also take the bloodline route and ignore the mana requirements to upgrade his rank.
However, it was only a promotion to the rank of the Ancient Dragon. The mage profession was not upgraded and new spells could not be learned in advance.
For example, the next time he is promoted, his mage profession is at level seven, and he takes the bloodline route to be promoted to level eight or even level nine. At that time, he will not be able to cast eight-ring and nine-ring spells because the mage profession has not been promoted.
Li Qing also took into consideration that the magic power required for the mage profession to be promoted to the tenth level or even to the legendary level in the future would be too much, which might not be achieved in five years, so he decided to change the way and take the bloodline route to be promoted to the legendary level first.
The mage route slowly accumulates mana. As long as the mana reaches the requirement, you can be promoted and naturally cast spells of the current level.
He changed back to his true form and used the space in his palm to collect the body of the Wind God Pterosaur.
It doesn't break down, it breaks apart.
After peeling off all the skin, it can be used as the base material for magic pattern construction.
All the blood can be collected and processed to be used as material for magic ink.
The flesh and blood can be shared with the space dragons under his command. The flesh and blood of the tenth-level Wind God Pterosaur is rich in nutrients, and they will definitely like it.
As for the loot, it was opened after the usual prayers and there were only two cards inside.
One card represents one extraordinary hero skill point.
One is a hero spell called "Wind Realm", which is the ultimate move that Wind God Pterosaur finally activates.
This ultimate move is very powerful, so it requires two hero skill points to upgrade to the next level, and you must have the relevant talent or bloodline to exert its maximum power. When used by ordinary heroes, it is just a powerful hero spell, and it cannot be expanded to a diameter of five or six kilometers like the Quetzalcoatl.
Then we returned to the Quetzalcoatlus's nest, but didn't find anything good.
Dinosaurs are not giant dragons and do not have the habit of collecting treasures.
After returning to the base, Li Qing was busy dealing with the Quetzalcoatlus. He cut the large pieces of pterosaur skin into small pieces and then processed them in batches.
The blood is first concentrated to retain the power of wind, and then other magical materials are added to make a special magic potion.
Because they contain the power of wind, this large batch of magic potions is suitable for drawing magic patterns related to agility and speed.
So there are treasures everywhere in this plane. High-level magical beasts that meet the requirements are everywhere, and there are also many magical plants. Now his subordinates have found quite a few for him, but most of them are unfamiliar magical plants. They have to be studied to determine their properties before deciding whether they can replace certain magical materials.
Half a month later, Li Qing set out again and headed northeast with his men, where they hunted down a giant snake that possessed the power of ice and frost and was hiding in a deep pool.
This is a ninth-order giant snake, but it is hiding in a deep pool and has mastered the power of ice and frost, making it very difficult to deal with.
In the end, Li Qing used his signature move again and threw down a hundred-meter-long steel spear from a height of tens of thousands of meters.
With one strike, the giant snake was pierced through the ice that was dozens of meters thick. Then Li Qing dived into the deep pool and caught it.
Then, of course, the skin and bones are removed and the blood is made into magical materials.
More than half a month passed, and Li Qing...didn't go anywhere, but killed a level 10 Devil Tyrannosaurus Rex that came from nowhere to destroy his home at the doorstep.
It is more than 40 meters tall, with a strong and sturdy body. Li Qing even doubts that Long Shoulong Fa and his men could not defeat this big guy in a head-on fight.
Then in the second and a half months, he went south again and hunted a ninth-level giant lizard in a large canyon filled with poisonous gas.
Then, all the powerful and ferocious beasts that could be found within a radius of one thousand kilometers were killed by them.
Only at this time did Li Qing calm down and stay in the divine realm to study war magic.
During this period, apart from going out, I have been spending most of my time studying war magic, and now I have gained some experience.
Apart from other things, he already had the idea of upgrading several similar war magics.
They are magic lightning, light of war, and attack acceleration.
Although I haven't got any clues about other war magic, I already have a direction. After upgrading these two, I can take some time to study them.
Things like war magic are easy to understand. As long as you understand it well enough and know how to do it, the rest is just a matter of hard work. If you try , you will eventually succeed.
Li Qing has the space in his palm that can simulate quickly without consumption, which is hundreds or thousands of times stronger than a normal magician.
They have to try again and again, constantly wasting magic materials and consuming mental energy and magic power, and they can only try a few times a day.
He used the space in his palm to simulate quickly, and could simulate more than ten times in an hour without any problem.
Anyway, it doesn't consume much energy. If you are diligent, you can simulate for more than ten hours a day and try hundreds of times a day.
At this moment, he was simulating Magic Lightning, the first war magic he had acquired. In fact, he already had an idea about it half a year ago. If he wanted, he could actually upgrade it to the intermediate level.
But Li Qing was not satisfied. He wanted to take advantage of the inspiration while it was still there and reach the advanced level in one go.
After several attempts at virtual simulation, he began to try real-life drawing.
Base material, a dozen kinds of magic ink, five different types, ten of each, a total of fifty magic pens lined up.
Spread out the processed animal hide base material, hold a magic pen in your hand, ponder for a moment, and steadily place the pen on a certain point on the animal hide.
Then, with great movement of the brush, lines thinner than a hair appeared on the animal skin.
Stablize.
Still stable.
After mastering the original power of space, Li Qing's talent in this area exploded, and he was definitely a super genius.
He writes as fast as a god and as steady as an old man.
In just a few minutes, a complex magic array that would make ordinary people dizzy appeared on the base animal skin.
After finishing the magic circle in one breath, Li Qing let out a light breath, put down the pen, took out a second magic pen filled with the same magic ink, and continued drawing from the previous breakpoint.
This is very difficult because the magic pen has a limited amount of ink. If you want to draw a super complex magic circle, the magic ink in one pen is definitely not enough. At this time, you need to change to another pen to refill.
This requires the same pen tip, the same technique, and the same magical power and mental power injected.
If there is even the slightest difference, there will be problems connecting the lines.
In mild cases, the flow of spiritual energy will be blocked, and in severe cases, the magic power will not be able to flow and will be directly scrapped.
And don't even think about getting a big magic pen that's big enough to complete the entire process, or filling it with enough ink from ten normal pens to finish the whole process in one go.
If it is really that convenient, there is no reason why Li Qing wouldn't use it.
This kind of pen definitely exists and is not technically difficult to use. The reason why it is not used is mainly because the hand of a normal person is so big that a pen that is too big and too long will affect the drawing of the magic circle.
Let me ask you, if you hold a sausage pen that is ten times heavier and ten times larger than a normal pen, would you find it useful?
