Wizard: I have ten trillion nanomachines

Afterwards, a group of twenty men, led by the man with the largest head, left the village armed with knives and guns.

The animal-hide boots crunched and creaked as they stepped on the snow, steady and heavy.

Meanwhile, Luo Kunlun's clone hovered high in the sky, like an inconspicuous eyeball, continuing to silently scan the entire village, collecting every piece of information.

These humans had formed a relatively complete social structure, with simple wooden fences around the villages, well-planned alleyways between the houses, and even cellars specifically for storing prey.

More importantly, their weapons gleamed with the cold light characteristic of iron, which meant that they had mastered iron smelting technology and that their level of social development was definitely not low.

Soon, in less than half a day, Luo Kunlun had a clear understanding of the situation in the village.

This village, called Baitie Village, is located at the foot of the mountains outside the birch forest. It relies on hunting and simple farming for a living and has existed for no less than two hundred years.

The village belongs to Hongzhen, which is 700 li away, and Hongzhen belongs to Bacheng, which is even more distant.

Villages, towns, and cities form a three-tiered hierarchy of human settlements in this world, clearly defined and orderly.

At the same time, the humans in this world also have their own system of extraordinary powers.

The ox, tiger, elephant, and dragon represent a precise and straightforward classification of a warrior's own strength, corresponding one-to-one with various ferocious beasts in the wild.

One dragon is equivalent to ten elephants, one elephant to ten tigers, one tiger to ten oxen, and the strength of one ox is roughly equivalent to the strength of one thousand catties.

Dragon level refers to the Triceratops that Lokunlun had previously detected.

In the minds of the people of Baitie Village, it was a terrifying creature known as the Sharp-Horned Earth Dragon, with thick skin, immense strength, and the undisputed top of the food chain in the entire birch forest.

The strongest person in the entire White Iron Village, the tall man who led the group, was only about five oxen strong.

At the same time, Luo Kunlun also carefully observed the way these people trained their strength.

It was nothing more than some rudimentary boxing routines and stance training methods, with crude movements and obscure power generation, which Luo Kunlun considered extremely simplistic.

In the wizarding world, even if an ordinary person practiced this for a lifetime, the best they could achieve would be physical fitness; there would be absolutely no chance of breaking through the limitations of the physical body.

But in this world, these people, through training, can genuinely increase their strength to an inhuman level.

The root cause lies in the differences in physical structure and genes.

Even without any training, the humans in this world possess strength far exceeding that of mortals in the wizarding world upon reaching adulthood. Furthermore, having the strength of an ox and becoming a qualified warrior is a fundamental standard for judging a man's physical well-being.

In this world's survival rules, a healthy man who cannot exert the strength of an ox by the age of sixteen is considered defective. He will face discrimination and exclusion, and may even be driven out of the settlement and left to fend for himself in the perilous wilderness.

It sounds cruel and inhumane, but in this world surrounded by ferocious beasts, it is a necessary means to maintain the survival of the tribe.

The land is teeming with terrifying beasts that prey on people; without sufficient strength, one can only become prey.

One ox's strength makes one a qualified warrior, three oxen's strength makes one an elite among a hundred, and five oxen's strength is enough to make one the undisputed local tyrant of the villages.

After collecting and analyzing all the information about Baitie Village, Luo Kunlun's clone no longer lingered, transforming into a silver-white streak of light and flying straight towards Hongzhen.

The Baitie Village area comprises thirteen villages of similar size, all under the jurisdiction of Hongzhen.

Compared to remote villages, towns and settlements offer far more information.

The clone moved at incredible speed, cutting through the biting wind, and quickly arrived above Hongzhen.

It's less a town and more an impregnable fortress.

The city wall, which is ten zhang high, was built of rammed earth mixed with rubble. The wall surface is mottled and covered with marks of claws and impacts.

Through precise scanning using the computing power of the separate units, the permanent population of Hongzhen is a total of 73,210.

Its scale far exceeds that of a village, making everything here much more advanced than in a village-level settlement.

The streets were lined with blacksmith shops, hide workshops, and markets where ferocious beasts were traded, bustling with activity and full of life.

The elite forces here are far stronger than those in White Iron Village. There are ten Tiger-level warriors who possess the strength of ten thousand jin and can fight ordinary ferocious beasts head-on, and even more Bull-level warriors.

They often leave the town to hunt ferocious beasts.

Physical training and strength training take a heavy toll on the body, far beyond what ordinary food can compensate for.

Being full is only the basic requirement; more importantly, one must eat well. Those ferocious beasts contain extremely rich energy. Eating their flesh and blood can not only strengthen the body but also quickly restore the energy consumed during physical training. They are an indispensable core resource for warriors.

In addition, Hongzhen's methods of training strength and body conditioning are more advanced.

Tiger-level warriors deliberately consume metal ores such as copper and iron, relying on their powerful bodies to digest and absorb the minerals, thereby undergoing further transformation and strengthening their bones.

Over time, metals such as copper and iron became hard currency, used to trade for the flesh and blood of ferocious beasts and various other resources.

Hongzhen has a long history, dating back about seven hundred years. Many families in the town still keep their family genealogies and handwritten notes passed down from their ancestors, recording the rise and fall of this land.

Relying on these precious historical records, Lokunlun was able to further piece together the outline of this world.

According to the clan records of the Fang family, the oldest family in the town, there was an ancient kingdom called Nie on this continent a thousand years ago.

The founding monarch of this country was an unparalleled powerhouse with the strength of nine dragons. With his astonishing power, he conquered the north and south, subjugating thirty-seven city-states and bringing them, along with their towns and villages, under his control, thus establishing a vast kingdom.

At its peak, the ancient kingdom of Nie had 40 million people under its rule, and was filled with powerful individuals. Within the kingdom, there were no fewer than 100 dragon-level warriors.

But then, the ancient kingdom of Nie suddenly perished without warning.

Without foreign invasion or internal strife, this once-powerful nation vanished into the annals of history, seemingly overnight.

According to folklore, the destruction of the ancient kingdom of Nie was caused by a battle between gods.

According to the secret records of the Fang family, the ancient kingdom was destroyed by a pterosaur that could breathe lightning. The giant beast spread its wings and covered the sky. Wherever the lightning passed, cities were turned into scorched earth and the strong were reduced to dust.

"Humans in this world are ultimately just at the bottom."

After reviewing all the records of the Fang family, Luo Kunlun's clone hovered above Hongzhen and came to this conclusion.

The power of the nine dragons, when converted to the standards of the Wizarding World, is only about one ring level.

This world is home to several terrifying creatures at the second-ring level.

Despite its apparent strength, the ancient kingdom of Nie merely occupies a corner of this continent. Its ability to exist peacefully is probably due to its location on the fringes, a place that powerful and intelligent beings disdain.

This world is inhabited by all sorts of savage and ferocious beasts.

After that, Luo Kunlun's clone rushed to Bacheng without stopping.

Compared to Hongzhen, Bacheng is much larger and has more solid walls. Not only are there dragon-level warriors here, but there are also powerful families.

A human race possessing the power to inherit bloodlines.

The reason why ferocious beasts are stronger than humans is that the upper limit of power they can obtain is far greater than that of humans.

Once the horned earth dragon reaches adulthood, it possesses the strength of a dragon, but there are countless ferocious beasts in the world stronger than it.

Humans can certainly gain the strength to fight and even kill ferocious beasts by training their physical strength, but this is ultimately a result of acquired skills.

If someone is born with the strength foundation of a horned earth dragon, how strong would they be if they trained their strength and body on top of that?

This is the origin of aristocratic families.

Warriors hunt ferocious beasts, eat their flesh and drink their blood, and their strength increases accordingly. This increase may be passed on to their offspring.

The stronger the ferocious beasts a person has devoured, the more thoroughly their bloodline has been modified, and the greater the probability that their offspring will inherit this power.

Over time, those families whose bloodlines were continuously strengthened became powerful clans that stood above ordinary humans.

In Luo Kunlun's view, this is a kind of bloodline accumulation and evolution, but this evolution is passive and depends entirely on luck and opportunity in hunting ferocious beasts.

The founding monarch of the ancient kingdom of Nie was a beneficiary of this passive evolution.

However, this level of bloodline is still insignificant compared to the truly powerful creatures in this world.

After gathering information about Ba City, Luo Kunlun's clone did not linger and went straight into the interior of the continent.

On the first day his clone entered this world, Luo Kunlun made a general observation of this wild world from high in the sky.

The entire world consists of only this supercontinent where he is now. Beyond the continent lies an endless, storm-ravaged ocean, with no islands or other landmasses in sight.

The villages of Baitie, Hongzhen, and Bacheng that Luo Kunlun had previously observed were merely a corner of the outer perimeter of this supercontinent; the true core area was still deep within the continent.

Next, Luo Kunlun's clone headed towards that unknown area.

The biting wind grew stronger, and the wild, untamed atmosphere in the air became increasingly intense.

Seven days after leaving the human settlements of the savage world, Lokunlun finally encountered his first truly intelligent being.

That was before another blizzard arrived.

The leaden-gray sky pressed heavily over the wild continent, almost merging with the earth.

A fierce wind whipped up sand and gravel, sweeping across the cracked earth with a mournful howl. As far as the eye could see, there was only barren wasteland, so deathly silent it was suffocating.

Suddenly, a muffled, thunderous tremor came from deep underground. The soil beneath the clone creaked under the weight, and fine cracks spread rapidly like a spider web, reaching an unfathomable depth.

The next second, a hideous crack suddenly tore the earth apart, and then a head covered with ochre-yellow rock armor slowly emerged from the crack.

The head was small in size but unusually heavy compared to the rest of the body. Its rock armor was covered with grooves that resembled cracks in a tortoise shell. These grooves were inlaid with dark green mineral crystals, which peeled off with a soft rustling sound as it moved and fell to the ground.

Its blunt, rounded snout scraped against the rock wall, making a harsh friction sound. Its earthy yellow vertical pupils, hidden in the folds, slowly opened, and its turbid gaze swept across the desolate wasteland, carrying an ancient and unchanging wildness and indifference.

The creature's neck, like a winding mountain ridge, slowly stretched out from the crack, and the writhing of every inch of flesh triggered a new round of violent tremors.

This is a creature that looks very similar to a Brachiosaurus, but is far more ferocious.

On its back grows a row of jagged bone spurs, which scrape against the rock wall, kicking up large pieces of gravel with a rumbling sound.

As half of its head emerged from the ground, the creature's earthen-yellow vertical pupils suddenly locked onto Luo Kunlun's clone: ​​"Outsider, how dare you come to my territory."

"Looks like the lesson I taught you last time wasn't severe enough!"

Luo Kunlun's split body hovered in mid-air, instantly locking onto the enormous creature.

The separate computing power operates at high speed, instantly analyzing the opponent's strength.

Majestic and ancient, carrying the weight of the earth and the brutality of the wilderness, its strength has reached the upper level of the second ring!

Luo Kunlun's mental imprint rippled slightly, and a hint of surprise emanated from his clone.

The lesson learned last time? It seems that Ye Ken's invasion back then ended in failure because of this creature?

Ye Ken, a terrifying creature from the Second Ring Road, was surprisingly not killed.

The two parts floated silently, the scanning waves spreading out without a sound, trying to penetrate the thick layer of soil and glimpse the full appearance of this creature.

"? Why is it a ball?" The creature seemed to sense the abnormality of the split body, and a terrifying power suddenly erupted.

"It looks like a small toy made of some kind of metal. Perfect, metal is the essence of the earth."

"The metal from outsiders might be useful to me."

The earth within a radius of a hundred miles trembled violently, the cracks widened rapidly, and the sandstorm was forcibly pulled into a sandstorm that blotted out the sky and swept towards the split body.

The sandstorm carried tens of thousands of grains of sand, each grain containing the immense and profound power of the earth.

The clone's silver light screen lit up instantly, and various forces intertwined to form an invisible net, blocking the oncoming sandstorm and rubble.

"Interesting." A hint of amusement crept into the behemoth's deep voice. "Much stronger than those pathetic insects from last time."

Before the words were even finished, its body, buried deep in the ground, finally began to move slowly.

Boom—

With a deafening roar, the earth split open, revealing a bottomless chasm, from which a colossal creature, a thousand meters long, slowly emerged from the ground.

Its body is covered with layers of rock armor, each piece of which is like a small fortress, gleaming with a metallic luster.

The bone spurs on the spine extend from the neck to the coccyx, like a row of inverted giant swords piercing the sky.

Four thick, sturdy legs, like pillars supporting the sky, tread on the earth, each step causing a violent tremor.

A savage dinosaur dwelling underground!

"My name is Yan Gang, and I am the ruler of the earth!" The savage dragon beast Yan Gang slowly raised its head, its earthen-yellow vertical pupils filled with growing killing intent. "Outsider, state your name. If you obediently offer up this metal element, I might spare your life."

The rock armor has extremely strong defenses and terrifying power, capable of manipulating rock layers and triggering massive earthquakes.
