Chapter 2359: Hatred in the dark (1/2)
Of course, the main body of the so-called ”savages” was still the same way as the people who could not stand the rule of the monster and fled to the depths of the earth during the Great Dark Age of the monster rule, and when the monster rule collapsed, they also embarked on the same path. , The demons fleeing underground.
This is because the environment at the junction of the crust and the mantle is extremely harsh. Not only is the breathable oxygen a fatal problem, but the temperature is also ridiculously high. Generally, human beings simply cannot adapt to the wild without an air circulation system and a large cooling array. The environment, soon after entering the wild, was annihilated one after another.
The monsters, and the humans ruled by the monsters in the ”Great Dark Age”, have their own unique advantages.
Li Yao now knows that the so-called ”Demon Race” and ”Human Race” are basically the same thing. The ”Thirty Thousand Years of Dark Age” is actually the cruel oppression and **** of mankind by mankind.
It's just that it was an era of highly developed biochemical technology, and the research on the release of gene power reached its peak.
In order to explore underground mineral veins and use geothermal energy, many humans are forced to accept genetic modulation, becoming a variety of monster races that consume very little oxygen and are extremely resistant to drought and high temperature, and even their forms have become weird giant reptiles.
The genetically modulated human beings are equivalent to breaking the ”gene lock” in the body. The probability of gene mutation in the offspring is much higher than that of ordinary people. Generations of such ”human races” or ”demon races” escape to the ground. Under the influence of the harsh environment, the descendants further mutate. Oxygen consumption is becoming less and less, and they are becoming more and more resistant to drought and high temperature. Even in some mutant species, a dense layer of plants grows on the skin, which is swallowed by plants. Carbon dioxide, spit out oxygen, the monsters swallow the oxygen, and then spit out carbon dioxide, such a wonderful relationship.
At first glance, such a demon clan seems to be a flower, but in fact, it is just a poor person who has been forced to migrate to such a harsh environment.
Therefore, in the 10084 area, the human beings who have only descended to the bottom of the Xinghai Empire era, it is extremely difficult to adapt to a deeper life away from the refuge and human civilization, but those human and monster races born in the Great Dark Age, their very few descendants can still In the form of a ”savage”, he lives in the depths of darkness.
In addition to savages, there are spirit beasts, monsters, and spiritual plants and demonized plants-no matter the demon emperor and demon **** of the Great Dark Age, or all the cultivation civilizations after the Xinghai Empire, they all want to open up the underground, except for the great construction of the underground. In addition to the construction of refuges and colonization bases, gene modulation and radiation mutation methods are used to cultivate countless organisms that adapt to the underground hypoxia, darkness, and high temperature environment.
They tried to replicate the entire ecosystem on the ground underground, so that they could expand their living space more than a hundredfold. However, 99% of the underground biological experiments failed. The cultivated spirit beasts, monsters, spiritual plants, and demonized plants At best, they can only adapt to the artificial environment in refuges and colonization bases. They are deformed species like rock worms that can only survive life to death in a comfortable laboratory.
However, after many refuges and underground towns were destroyed by earthquakes and magma eruptions, 1% of the experimental creatures escaped. They were both difficult and fortunate to overcome many difficulties and survived tenaciously and became wild. Monsters and demonized plants!
The relationship between these monsters and rock worms is like the relationship between wild boars and domestic pigs, or the relationship between wolves and dogs.
Li Jialing told Li Yao that although savages and monsters are ferocious, they generally do not easily attack the established towns of District 10084, because although the refuge system here has collapsed, there are still some major defense formations that have not completely failed. And the people here also traded a lot of rock worms for a lot of powerful offensive magic weapons with the higher-level residents. If the savages are not going to fight to the death, it is unlikely that they will swallow a town in one breath.
What's more, there are contradictions between the savage and the savage. They are divided into different ethnic groups and tribes. The hatred between each other even lasts for more than ten thousand years. Most of the time, the savage and the savage fight each other, but it is with the residents of the 10084 district. Do not offend the river.
Li Yao asked Li Jialing, what kind of hatred is there among the savages?
Li Jialing replied that the savages gradually evolved into different tribes according to their origins and the age when they went deep into the ground. The savages of this tribe were all oppressed humans who came to the ground in the 30,000 years of the Great Dark Age, but the savages of that tribe were the rise of the Xinghai Empire At that time, the demon clan dignitaries who were beaten and fled, don't these two tribes have a natural hatred?
When the two tribes were fighting torn apart, the Xinghai Empire on the ground collapsed again, and a large number of people who had just sprouted the thoughts of cultivators also fled to the ground. Although most of them stayed in the refuge, There are also a very small number of people who want to use the power of savages to make waves, and this will add fuel to the fire, making this never-ending dark war even more chaotic and cruel.
Even if time passes and civilization is annihilated, most of the civilization’s light fades from the depths of my mind, but the stigma of hatred has been passed down from generation to generation. Until now, even these savage tribes themselves don’t know why they want to fight with rival tribes. Has become an instinct engraved on their genetic chain.
Li Jialing told Li Yao that there were three savage tribes hung in the wild death area near the town of 10084, called ”Black Armor”, ”Night Wing” and ”Red Ring”.
As the name suggests, the black man has an extremely strong black carapace. This carapace not only has a strong defense force, but more importantly, its structure is like an extremely special solar panel, which can store the high temperature of the ground. Converted into a part of the energy necessary for survival, which greatly reduces the demand for food of the black armor, and also reduces unnecessary foraging and hunting behavior to the limit, greatly improving the survival ability.
The night wing man has a pair of wide pellicle wings-in the rugged and narrow underground of the cave, this pair of pellicle wings are naturally not used for flying or gliding, but can wrap the whole night wing into one. The cold giant chrysalis can lock the body temperature and moisture loss on the one hand, and on the other hand can prevent other underground hunters from spying on their existence through infrared sensing.
Many residents in the 10084 district believe that after the Nightwing Man wraps himself with the film wings, he will turn into a cold stalagmite, able to enter a special hibernation state without eating or drinking for several years-of course, this is a bit of an exaggeration. , But it can also be seen that the night wing people's survivability is strong.
