Reincarnation Paradise: There are vests everywhere

Chapter 1881 Crystal Essence
The attics in Yuanshe Mansion were arranged in an orderly manner, most of them were two- or three-story buildings, with gable roofs and square stone slabs on the ground below. It was very quiet here, and the hundreds of buildings seemed to be empty. Among these buildings, there were eight stone roads, each of the same width, all leading to the back mountain of Yuanshe Mansion.

When moving here, one must be extremely careful. Once discovered and held back by these dozens of Tianba people, one will surely die. One must know that there are thousands of Tianba people living in the Abyss Snake Residence.

The Tianba people originally did not have the power of source in their bodies. It was only after they drank the "water of source" that they mastered the power of source and derived the abilities of "seeking" and "drowning".

While gaining this power, they will also be constantly eroded by the source, causing their mental state to become serious and their perception to be greatly reduced. The Tianba tribe guarding the village in front had obviously just drunk the "source water" not long ago, and their minds were clear, so they guarded the front.

The Tianba tribe, which was severely eroded by the "Source", was sent to the Yuan Snake Residence to prevent them from going crazy or mutating and causing damage to Yongyue City in the rear. Yongyue City is the foundation of the Tianba tribe.

If the Tianba tribe of Qianshou Village are warriors, then the Tianba tribe of Yongyue City are civilians. They do not drink the source water, which is the main productive force of the Kingdom of God. As for the Tianba tribe of Yuanshe Mansion, they are between guards and monsters. What they guard is naturally the source of the "source water".

Su Xiao had always been puzzled as to why the Tianba tribe drank the "Source Water". You know, in the Kingdom of God, the Tianba tribe had no external enemies at all. It was not until he followed a Tianba tribe member and saw him decompose the power of the Tianba tribe member who was about to be completely eroded into the source of the "Source Water", a pool of water, that he completely understood.

As night fell, Su Xiao had explored in advance, so Lin Jiu skipped the exploration process and followed the special mark to the back of the mountain. This was a stone forest, with a faint light covering the stone forest. It was very quiet inside the stone forest, and there was no Tianba tribe guarding here, so there was no need for that.

The only valuable thing in the stone forest is the source water. As for outsiders coming to steal the source water, the Tianba tribe will let the thieves go even if they see them.

Drinking the water of source can indeed gain strength, but not everyone can drink it. If your physical fitness is not strong enough and your willpower is not strong enough, you will turn into a monster the moment you drink the water of source. After that, the "source" in your body will instantly leave and return to the pool of source.

The Tianba people of Yongyue City practiced hard from childhood to strengthen their bodies and will. All these efforts are for the purpose of drinking the water of the source one day and becoming a warrior of the Tianba tribe, and there is only one such warrior among a hundred people.

On the day that Tenba becomes an adult, he will go to the Abyss Snake Residence alone and see everything there with his own eyes. Afterwards, the newly adult Tenba will decide whether to drink the source water.

However, even if they drink the source water, not all Tenba can obtain the power of Qin and Ni. Usually, only about four out of ten Tenba can awaken this power. Of these four, about three have the attribute of Ni (long-range) and one has the attribute of Qin (close combat).

After drinking the water of the source, ordinary Tenba will be eroded by the source and become monsters in about 10 to 13 years. Before that, they will go to the Abyss Snake Residence. For Tenba with the drowning attribute, it will take about 8 to 9 years to be eroded into a monster.

The Qin-type Tenba are the strongest among the Tenba, and they will completely turn into monsters within 3 to 5 years on average. Some of them can even break through the limit of master-level melee combat and reach the grandmaster level.

During this period, frequent use of source power will accelerate the speed at which they are eroded by the source. Some Tianba with Qin attribute may even complete this transformation within 1 to 2 months.

Tenba was eroded by the source, not because they were craving for power, they were using their bodies to strengthen the "source" in their bodies. Assuming that when they just drank the water of source, the source energy in their bodies was 10 points, then before they turned into monsters, the source energy must have reached at least 20000 points.

The Tianba with Qin attribute will be even more exaggerated, warming the source energy in the body to more than 50000 points. The one who needs this energy is naturally the Abyss Snake. As for the purpose of this energy, it is unknown after the Abyss Snake was killed by Su Xiao.

However, from this, Lin Jiu and Su Xiao both deduced why the Abyss Snake deceived the Tianba tribe about the situation on the East Continent. It was to make these Tianba people stay in the Kingdom of God peacefully, without the outbreak of war, without the loss of population in the war, and to have enough Tianba people drink the "Source Water" and become the "vessel" for the Abyss Snake to nourish its energy.

If the Tianba tribe knew the true situation of the East Continent, they would definitely start a war. And under the threat of external forces, the Sera Empire and the Northern Alliance would definitely unite to deal with the Tianba tribe. Although the overall strength of the Tianba tribe is far stronger than the forces outside the abyss, how can there be no sacrifice in the war?

Every Tianba warrior who died outside was a lost energy source for the Abyss Snake, which made it feel distressed. So it wove such a lie to keep the Tianba tribe in the Kingdom of God. And with the "powerful" Sera Empire as a threat, naturally there would be a steady stream of Tianba who would choose to drink the "source water".

When Lin Jiu arrived, he saw that the giant Ober was already getting along harmoniously with Su Xiao, so he knew that Su Xiao had completed the conversation in a friendly manner, which also triggered the next task, which was to use the blood of the ancient dragon to decompose the crystals under the pool.

But Su Xiao didn't need to look for the blood of the ancient dragon at all. He could completely decompose the crystals through his alchemy skills and complete this part of the task.

"There is another piece of ancient dragon's blood here. Do you want to look for it?" Su Xiao didn't need it, but he didn't forget that Lin Jiu had a servant with ancient dragon blood by his side, so he reminded him.

"You can look for it." Lin Jiu's next mission had nothing to do with the Abyss Snake. He was here for the blood of the ancient dragon. He wanted both bloods. He could take advantage of Su Xiao's attack on the Tianba tribe to search the Abyss Snake Residence and see if he could find the blood of the ancient dragon here.

But without being able to negotiate with the Tianba tribe, it was almost impossible to find the ancient dragon blood in the Abyss Snake Residence. Even if Lin Jiu did not take action and could remain hidden, it would still be like looking for a needle in a haystack to find the ancient dragon blood. He would just try. If he couldn't find it, he could only get the one in Ivel's hand.

Lin Jiu entered here alone. Because of his ability to "walk at night", he could move around in the Abyss Snake Residence and would not be trapped in a building like Su Xiao's team. If he brought team members with him, there would be such a risk.

When Su Xiao was analyzing the blue crystals at the bottom of the pool, Lin Jiu had already started searching the Abyssal Snake Residence with Bubu Wang. If Lin Jiu was present, he would have seen that the blue crystals in Su Xiao's hand were very similar to the dragon crystals condensed by Winnie, but of a higher rank and strength.

"No wonder it requires the blood of ancient dragons." Su Xiao, who had seen the dragon crystal arrows condensed by Winnie, immediately recognized the origin of this blue crystal after coming into contact with it. This is the crystal condensed from the power of the ancient dragon system, so it is normal that it requires the blood of ancient dragons to decompose.

The effect of this crystallization on the target is also permanent, just like the metalization of the Ancient Saint. If someone is affected by this ability, the way to remove it is to water it with the blood of the ancient dragon. But including Winnie, there are only two pure-blooded ancient dragons known to exist. Even if there is ancient dragon blood left behind, no one knows where it is hidden.

However, Winnie has not yet awakened the ability of permanent crystallization, perhaps she needs bloodline awakening.
