Synthetic Wizard

Chapter 216: Chapter 147: Eco-Park, Supermassive Breeding Zone_2

If you observe carefully, you can still notice that this darkness is slowly rotating, but because the surrounding light is dim, coupled with its own color, it is impossible to notice if you don’t look closely.

“A space portal, perhaps.” Sunan’s eyes flickered.

Obviously, for some reason, this giant rock is connected to a certain dimensional space on the back, thereby forming a space portal.

And on the other side of the space portal, it is highly likely that this is where those sub-dragon species came from.

Sunan pondered for a moment, then took out a Stone Golem and let it enter the dark space portal.

Almost instantly, the connection with the Stone Golem was severed, unable to control it.

This situation only occurs when located in different dimension planes.

After confirming that the other side of the darkness is a certain dimensional space, Sunan hesitated no longer and decisively activated the Demon Pattern Core to cover his entire body.

Following that, he activated the Ring of Ultimate Protection, casting an [Elemental Protection] and [Shield Skill] on himself, and consumed a High-level Earth Rune Gemstone to fortify a layer of defense.

After making all the preparations, Sunan took a deep breath and stepped into the darkness.

A strong sense of weightlessness enveloped his entire body instantly.

Sunan only felt as if he had passed through an invisible water curtain. When his consciousness resumed, he immediately heard the crisp sound of insects chirping in his ears.

Opening his eyes, a strangely majestic scene appeared before him.

What lay ahead was a forest of towering and lush trees.

Each towering tree reached dozens or even hundreds of meters, covering the sky and blocking the sunlight, and the vegetation on the ground was quite lush; even the shrubs were two to three meters high.

Above, the dense tree crowns interlinked, obscuring the sky like a canopy.

Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves onto the ground, forming mottled patterns of golden patches.

Faintly, the sound of flowing water could be heard from afar, and there were strange noises deep within the dense forest, making it seem as if one had entered a mysterious tropical jungle.

“It is indeed an Eco-Park!”

Seeing the scene before him, Sunan finally confirmed that he had indeed arrived at an Eco-Park.

The Stone Golem stood quietly beside him without moving, and Sunan retrieved it into the magic cube, then turned to look at the passage he came from.

Behind him was a faint purple, resembling the edge of a distorted void, extending upwards and disappearing amidst the dense canopy.

And that black entrance was embedded in the purple void, like a conspicuous black spot on white paper.

Sunan flew upwards, passing through the canopy and reaching above the forest sea.

As expected, the sky was purple, extending far away, making it appear as though the entire forest sea was wrapped in purple.

In fact, it was so; this layer of purple was actually a super-large protective shield, isolating the entire Eco-Park from the outside world, maintaining the ecological system balance within.

It was only because a breach appeared for some reason that the sub-dragon species managed to escape.

Landing back on the ground, Sunan flew towards the depths of the forest, prepared to explore this Eco-Park thoroughly.

Generally speaking, Eco-Parks would be planted with numerous rare Magic Plants to make the most of the unique environment within the Eco-Park.

The rare Magic Plants alone would be a considerable gain.

In addition to these are the sub-dragon species living within the Eco-Park; they are walking aggregates of materials!

“If only I could gain control of this Eco-Park…”

A surge of excitement flared up in Sunan’s heart.

A complete Eco-Park, except for requiring a massive energy investment at the initial construction, would be mostly self-sustaining once successfully operational, needing only a small amount of external energy supply to maintain.

However, that small amount is relative; for an individual Wizard, it still represents a substantial amount of energy.

For other Wizards, even if they obtained this Eco-Park, in the current energy-scarce situation, they could not afford its operation.

But Sunan is different; he has magic stones!

At worst, he can produce more magic stones, always able to support the Eco-Park’s operation.

After all, his cost of producing magic stones is extremely low.

If only he could find a way to control this Eco-Park, it would be equivalent to obtaining a breeding base that can endlessly produce various rare materials.

This would be much more useful than establishing a hundred Magic Plant Gardens and rearing dozens of sub-dragon species!

“But speaking of which, the Wizard who could construct such an Eco-Park must have been extremely powerful; it could only have been part of that batch of Wizards from a thousand years ago.”

“But if that’s the case, why didn’t the creator relocate the Eco-Park?”

“Surely it wasn’t out of goodwill, intending to leave it for future generations, right?”

Sunan laughed at his own conjecture; even the most generous Wizard wouldn’t be so extravagant.

That is a whole Eco-Park!

He leaned more towards the idea that the creator had died before the Wizard expedition, which is why the Eco-Park was left behind.

But in this case, a new question arises: where has the energy come from to keep the Eco-Park running for this thousand years?

Is it possible that someone else has been supplying energy to this Eco-Park?

Or does the Eco-Park’s own energy supply system have something special about it?

The doubts in his mind increased.

Sunan shook his head, not dwelling on it; there was too little information at hand to draw any conclusions. It wouldn’t be too late to speculate after exploring and gathering more information.

For now, the focus should still be on gathering materials.

In a mere few hundred meters, Sunan had already discovered no less than ten types of Magic Plants.

Dragon Saliva Grass, Jade Frost Flower, Mutated Devil Vine, Golden Thistle Grass… among them, there were materials for second and third tier potions!

Materials rarely seen in the outside world were abundant here.

“These Magic Plants must have been planted initially, only surviving and reproducing to this day thanks to the energy sustenance of the Eco-Park.”

Sunan did not stand on ceremony, picking all the Magic Plants he saw along the way into his Space Ring.

Creek! Creek!

Suddenly, some strange sounds emerged from the shrubbery ahead.

Sunan immediately stopped, gazing cautiously in that direction.

The noises grew denser, as if a multitude of creatures were approaching.

Soon, a group of creatures burst out from the shrubs.

These creatures resembled small, slender, miniature dinosaurs, about a meter long, with sharp, dense teeth in their mouths. Their forelimbs consisted of two curved fingers, which were much sturdier, radiating power.

“Fine-Jawed Dragons.”

Sunan’s expression relaxed.

The Fine-Jawed Dragon is classified as a small dinosaur type, a low-level sub-dragon species.

With adult ones possessing only Junior Knight-level combat power, they are not particularly strong. The only thing to note is that Fine-Jawed Dragons frequently appear in packs.

When you see one Fine-Jawed Dragon before you, rest assured, there are dozens more of its kind following behind it.

Creek! Creek!

These Fine-Jawed Dragons, living in the Eco-Park, seemed never to have seen humans before. They paused upon discovering Sunan, their murky yellow eyes widening in curiosity as they examined him, then they excitedly shrieked, rapidly stepping towards him.

Evidently treating him as some form of novel meal.

Sunan chuckled lightly and raised his hand, unleashing a Magic Missile.

Seven missiles blasted the heads of seven Fine-Jawed Dragons into smithereens.

Being in the Eco-Park made it unfavorable to capture sub-dragon species alive, coupled with the fact that Fine-Jawed Dragons, even among low-level sub-dragon species, belong to the lowest tier of creatures, lacking much value for live capture and breeding, thus Sunan showed no mercy.

In no time, over thirty Fine-Jawed Dragons were utterly annihilated.

After a brief collection of materials, Sunan then activated the Invisibility Skill on his robe, vanishing instantly.

The priority was still to investigate the Eco-Park’s condition and find the core that controls it, rather than hunting sub-dragon species; avoiding combat whenever necessary.

While the Invisibility Skill cannot evade all sub-dragon species’ perceptions, it is sufficient to deceive most mid-to-low-level sub-dragon species.

But just as Sunan prepared to leave, he suddenly noticed an extremely faint red light spilling out from the bodies of those Fine-Jawed Dragons. When gathered together, it formed a slender line of light, shooting swiftly towards the distance.

Sunan paused momentarily, then quickly chased after it.

However, the speed of the blood-colored light was astonishingly fast; despite his best efforts, he couldn’t keep pace. Just as he hesitated whether to use a High-level Rune Gemstone, that blood-colored light had already vanished beyond his sight.

“What was that?”

Sunan halted his movements, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.
