An alchemist who successfully advanced first gains power from metal.

Unlike most mages, they do not spend a lot of time studying spell meditation magic. Many alchemists will suddenly upgrade during the experiment. The most obvious feature of academic casters is to use a lot of knowledge and experiments to pursue the essence of things, and ultimately use this as an opportunity to find a way to thoroughly master the power of a certain law. Most academic casters have very weak combat power in the early stage, but once they obtain a breakthrough in a certain field, they are very likely to master the power of the law.

The ancestors of the Stephen clan were such a great academic alchemist.

He integrated the power of the law into his bloodline and passed it on to his descendants. Therefore, Stephen Zhou is not an alchemist in the mage class, but an alchemist in the warlock class.

Sometimes he would also wonder if he could not break through the limit no matter how he did, was he as strong as his ancestors. The power of warlocks comes from bloodlines. They are born with the ability to cast spells. Any Stephen can become an alchemist, but his talent achieves one generation less than the other. Stephen Zhou is the only alchemist who has mastered the power of law again, but he has never been able to break through the upper limit of mortals, which makes him feel that his ancestors have only reached this level, so no matter how he develops his talent, he cannot break through the bottleneck.

If this is true, then he must give up his past achievements and pursue his own path again, a path that surpasses his ancestors.

……………………

One week.

Stephen Week's safety base is almost completed.

This No. 1 safety base covers an area of ​​about 10,000 square meters, has a studio, three storage rooms, a master bedroom, two guest rooms, a kitchen, a planting area (currently empty), and three vertical underground mines. The main material of the safety base is marble, located fifty meters underground, and the entrance is a vertical lift. It is necessary to have a level 0 trick "secret mark" to activate it.

This is a temporary shelter.

Because there is no "energy storage crystal" in your hand and it is impossible to arrange electricity. The lighting depends entirely on the lowest level of "alchemy torch", a torch that can be burned for a whole day by using coal and wood. Currently, the base has only three defensive traps, no puppet guards, and the food stored is enough for one person to eat for three months. The warehouse reserves 100 units of wood, 100 units of stone, 100 units of coal mine, and 100 units of iron ingots.

Stephen Week finally decided to explore the world.

He needs to collect a lot of information about this unknown world. Since the age of Sergian, the casters have tried interstellar colonization. The source of the Aufa civilization cannot be traced back, but the original casters have fought with the gods and explored the ends of time and space.

This is not the first time Stephen Week has explored other worlds.

Leaving the underground shelter made Stephen Zhou feel quite happy. In order to adapt to the cumbersome and boring work, the alchemist must learn to self-regulate his emotions.

This is a plain.

There are forests in the south and rivers in the north. Stephen is heading towards the direction facing the mountains, looking for traces of the indigenous civilization in this world.

In the endless wilderness, Stephen Zhou was alone, and he left a road mark on the base, and he could find the direction to return at any time. Traveling by a person in nature would seem particularly small, and the species in this world are dangerous and huge. In the afternoon, he saw a huge nepenta that emits a strange fragrance, swallowing up more than 50 centimeters of horse-like landworm creatures in one bite. The gravity coefficient of this planet is 1.5, which consumes a lot of physical energy and endurance. Ordinary people need an anti-gravity area to adapt to this place. It can be inferred that if there are indigenous civilizations in this world, their size will be higher and stronger.

The limit of gravity coefficient that Stephen Zhou can adapt is 10.5, but this intensity of gravity will only be encountered in the elemental world.

After entering the plains, Stephen encountered the hyena again.

They tried to attack Stephen Zhou, but when they approached, they suddenly found that the prey in front of them turned into an iron lump. Then, after paying the casualties of five hyenas, they quickly escaped the terrible prey.

The three moons in the sky are still the same.

Stephen Zhou judged that they would only mutate under specific circumstances, and then this mutation would affect the energy field of this world, resulting in the strange situation encountered on the first day.

Lush plants make the herbivorous species large.

Stephen saw an adult horse-sized horned deer, a horny zebra with six legs weighing nearly a ton, a huge beast that looks like a rhino but more like a ground dragon, and a very familiar and very dangerous dinosaur creature - the Velociraptor.

When he first saw the pterosaur, Stephen guessed that there were a large number of dinosaur species left in this world, and he confirmed this point when he encountered the velociraptor. These adult individuals of velociraptors were about 2.1 meters long, very similar to the reduced version of the dinosaur claws. They are very smart, cunning, cruel, and are a group-like dinosaur species that can be encountered in many primitive and desolate worlds. The dinosaur species do not seem to be dominant in this world, which made Stephen Zhou have some guesses in his mind, because most of the worlds where dinosaur species exist are related to an ancient god.

Stephen's exploration made a major breakthrough on the third day as he encountered a migrating tribe of humans.

Maybe it's not sure if it's humans, because they're really tall.

The leader of this team was a burly middle-aged man wearing a gray animal leather jacket of up to 3.9 meters. His hair was tied into three braids. His thick arms were full of explosive power. There were many wounds left by wild beasts on his naked chest. His weapon was a mace made of a bone, which reflected a metallic luster. Others were between 3.2 and 3.5 meters tall. Everyone's skin was very fair. It was not the kind of pampered white that was naturally white like snow. The civilization level of this indigenous ethnic group should be relatively low. Stephen Zhou saw from them that the relatively simple clothes were mostly made of animal skins. A small number of metal utensils could be judged that the survival of these people was mainly hunting.

Stephen Zhou did not rashly contact these people.

Because he also discovered a somewhat dangerous target, a gray-haired old woman, holding a bone staff in her hand, wearing many skull-made ornaments, and various weird bottles and jars.

“Shamanic teachings!”

"It looks a bit like a voodoo!"

The entire tribe looks primitive and barbaric. Most adults have jewelry made of bones on their bodies, and warriors use pigments to apply tattoos on their bodies. Most of the indigenous people with these characteristics have not entered the real era of civilization. They are very dangerous and may even have the tradition of cannibalism.

It can be judged that they are not purebred humans.

It is initially estimated that it belongs to the branch of giants. In many primitive and desolate worlds, giants have the habit of feeding on other races.

Shamanism advocates wildness, nature, and the strong prey on the weak.

If it is a voodoo system, then this group will be even more dangerous. Stephen Zhou must observe it before contacting them.

As an alchemist who has traveled many worlds, Stephen Zhou has two spells that are constant near his brain. The first is [Advanced Language] and the second is [Advanced Words]. Although he can't speak the language of these giants, he can understand their meanings. He can learn their languages ​​by spending a little time.

This giant group is migrating to the north.

They used bone spears as weapons, and even women were brave warriors. The giants hunted big-horned deer and six-legged zebras, avoiding them when they encountered giant beasts that looked like rhinos. They threatened the velociraptors and hyenas with their low roars. This giant group had only very simple words. Stephen observed them for two days. Every time he returned from hunting, the shamans would carve their harvests and casualties on an ancient stone slab. These giants would collect a dark brown grass mixed with some metal powder as potion. This black plaster could quickly stop them from bleeding, but it was not sure whether it was the potion or their physical strength.

Stephen Zhou also collected a little of this herb to confirm that they have good hemostatic effects.

This giant will hold its prey to roast, but there is a tradition of advocating raw food. They will dig out the hearts of bighorn deer and hexagonal zebras and force the underage people to eat and swallow it.

At this time, the shamans would dance strange dances around the bonfire.

Overall, this giant group is primitive, barbaric and powerful. According to the professions retained in the Sergian Age, adult giants are at least equivalent to level 7 warriors. However, they seem to be very afraid of the night. Whenever night comes, all the giants will gather together and surround the bonfire. In the center is the shaman's skin tent. She will observe the purple rings and three moons in the sky, and pray in front of the strange five-meter-high totem pillar every night. They maintain the tradition of blood sacrifice. Every time they hunt, they will choose the strongest prey to be placed in front of the totem pole. A black stone with a diameter of three meters is the altar, and the blood of the prey will seep into it.

This is a typical primitive tribal feature.

Stephen is not very sure whether he can communicate with them. Many worlds have such ethnic groups. Their traditions are extremely primitive and barbaric.

final.

Stephen Zhou decided to try to get in touch with them.

These giants basically don’t act alone. They are at least five people in hunting. During the collection activities, strong female warriors are accompanying them. Stephen saw the female warrior tearing a hyena as big as a gray wolf in half. They have a strange obsession with their hearts, and the heart of any wild beast will be dug out by them for the underage little giant to eat it.

Stephen Zhou used a more conservative approach to contact and was not too close to these giants, but let them first find themselves looking at each other's reaction.

then.

Stephen Zhou pretended to be a wilderness wanderer and appeared in front of the giants' migration route, beginning his first contact with the indigenous people of the world.
