Perhaps due to an energy shortage, this area gradually became desolate, and those dragons gradually died out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sunan raised an eyebrow, \"The barrier we passed through earlier?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The traveler understood his meaning and said, \"I’ve tested it; it seems only humans can pass through the barrier, sub-dragon species cannot, so I imagine those dead dragons were the same.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Also,\" the traveler pointed to the surrounding bones, \"you can see that the essence of these bones has been completely extracted.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sunan inspected them and indeed, as the traveler said, the essence of these dragon bones had been drained, and a light touch would crack them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt a bit regretful at that moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bones of pureblood dragons are extremely valuable materials, but to be reduced to worthless waste like this is such a pity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then again, if it weren’t like this, these dragon bones would have been taken away by the traveler long ago, instead of being left here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"According to my speculation, this eco-park was likely built by wizards a thousand years ago, and the creator has probably already perished, leaving only this eco-park.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There should be some array set up in the eco-park to extract biological energy. After sub-dragon species and dragon race die here, their soul and body energy would be extracted by the eco-park to supply its operation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It is precisely by relying on this method that the eco-park formed a nearly perfect energy cycle system and could sustain operation for a thousand years.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However, no matter how precise the energy cycle system is, energy loss will occur during the cycle. Over time, the eco-park’s energy starts to run out, having to reduce energy supply according to set procedures, causing the density of energy particles to decrease, making the high-energy consumption creatures in Zone 2 begin to die massively, and their deaths feedback a large amount of energy to the eco-park, allowing Zone 1 with lower energy consumption to hold out until today!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The traveler spoke eloquently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This speculation was derived from combining intelligence gathered from outside and clues found in the eco-park during recent days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was confident that the speculation was very close to the truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought Sunan would be very shocked upon hearing these words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when he turned to look, he found Sunan’s expression calm and unchanged, as if he already knew this intelligence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"... You don’t seem surprised at all?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sunan glanced at him and said lightly, \"I guessed these things when I saw the dragon bones.

If using puppet tactics to consume energy, countless puppets would be needed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sunan estimated that even if he used all the funds from his current base and the entire Starglitter Principality, it wouldn’t be enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or he could wait another decade, until the eco-park’s energy shortage becomes more severe, then act.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But not to mention the eco-park’s biological chain and ecological environment would be greatly damaged, more importantly, the Eternal Life Association has discovered this place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s easy to imagine that those guys wouldn’t spare the eco-park!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would be best to integrate it into his possession before the Eternal Life Association intervenes in this eco-park.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems we need to find the key to get in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sunan thought secretly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the problem is, where is the key?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned to look at the traveler, who shrugged his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t look at me, I told you, I don’t know where the key is either?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How did you know this information?\" Sunan asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The traveler wasn’t like Sunan who was \"plugged in\", and by investigation alone, he logically couldn’t know so much about the eco-park.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the limitations of the Oath Contract, the traveler didn’t hide it and said frankly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I accidentally acquired a wizard’s scripture describing the knowledge of the eco-park, got clues from it about this eco-park, then searched the underground world for a long time before discovering this place.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But that book didn’t mention the whereabouts of the key, otherwise I would have controlled the eco-park long ago.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This, Sunan believed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the traveler had the key, there would be countless ways to drive away the dark hand and the bloody mouth, without being chased so miserably by the two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, both of them suddenly changed expressions simultaneously and looked in the direction they came from.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the distant sky saw two human figures flying rapidly towards them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the dark hand and the bloody mouth that the traveler had just escaped from!\u003C\u002Fp>",1611,"2026-06-06T02:33:43.453Z",1,"novelbin.me","a9ea716433293eff04fa1f7df77d02b4d5d9f5d1110b63cc0f56e092091b691a","synthetic-wizard-chapter-221","synthetic-wizard-chapter-219",369,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsynthetic-wizard-cover.jpg"]
