infinite blood core

Chapter 24 The monsters on the island are man-made
The afternoon meeting was held in the tent.

There were four people in total.

Needle gold, purple pedicle, cang beard, and cyanobacteria.

Several animal hide maps are spread on the ground.

One of them is the largest and is placed in the center.

Pin Jin pointed at the largest map and said, "This is Zidi combined with all the maps we have at hand and merged it."

Several people turned their attention to this picture.

Up north down south, left west right east.

The northeastern end of the hide map depicts a ship anchor.

The golden finger of the needle pointed to the anchor mark: "This is the starting point of your exploration team, and it is also the beach where the Pig Kiss ran aground. If the situation remains the same, there are still five or 60 people here, and it is the first officer of the Pig Kiss who is in control of the situation." .”

On the southeastern end of the hide map, a cross is drawn.

The needle gold finger moved to the fork: "This is the place where President Zidi and I landed. On this beach, there are three landing boats."

From the fork and the anchor, respectively, a curved line extends.On the two routes, every distance is marked with words or pictures.

These two routes represent the routes of the two exploration teams, Zidi and Cangxu.

However, these two routes did not come together, but ended abruptly in the middle of each other.In the center of this large map is a large blank.

Needle Gold took out two other small maps and photographed them in the blank space of the big map.

One map depicts desert terrain, the other a mountain landscape.

The focus is on the latter.

The top of the mountain forest map depicts the caves, spider forests, mountain springs and other notable places where the monkey-tailed brown bear lives.

The two routes represented by the two exploration teams merged into one at the mountain spring.

The needle gold finger moved to the marking point of the mountain spring: "We are here now, and our goal is to come back here."

He moved his finger to the northeast section of the big map, on the picture of the anchor.

No one objected.

This island prohibits low-level magic and fighting spirit, and there are many unimaginable ferocious monsters living in it. It is necessary to unite all forces that can be united as much as possible to cooperate and survive.

External rescue is out of reach and difficult to estimate. It is more reliable to rebuild the ship and set sail again.

The construction and operation of a sea-going ship cannot be accomplished with just a few people.

"The difficulties in front of us are obvious, there are two." Zhen Jin continued, "The first is the ferocious beasts along the way. The second is the changes in the landscape here. What do you think?"

Spirulina replied in a deep voice: "Master, if low-level magic and fighting spirit are not banned here, our strength will be greatly improved. But now to deal with these strange beasts, we can only use our flesh and blood to fight recklessly. But No matter what, Huangzao and I will be your swords, and wherever you look, there will be swords fighting."

Spirulina expressed his loyalty, nodded with needles, and was very satisfied with this attitude: "Then I will look forward to your performance."

After hearing this, Zidi seemed to be keenly aware of something. She looked at Spirulina with a confused expression: "Your statement is a bit strange. If low-level magic and fighting spirit are not prohibited here, then those ferocious monsters will Use various spell-like abilities. We are strong, but they will also be more threatening than they are now."

"According to my speculation, it won't be like this, Lord Zidi." Cang Xu said, "I don't think the magical beasts on this island can use any kind of spells."

"Oh? Why is there such a judgment?" Zidi then asked.

Cang Xu did not answer directly, but looked at Zhen Jin: "My lord, have you found any magic crystals in the corpses of the beasts you killed?"

Zhen Jin shook his head: "So far, no magic crystal has been found."

This is obviously not normal.

Cang Xu nodded: "Although we haven't eliminated silver-level beasts along the way, we have also obtained a lot of bronze and black-iron-level monster corpses."

"But we have never seen the existence of magic crystals."

"Why is this?"

"The formation of the magic crystal is that the beasts live in an environment full of elements for a long time. As they grow and eat, the magic power in the body continues to accumulate, and finally forms a qualitative change, condensing a magic crystal. The magic crystal not only stores the vast majority of the beast's body. The magic power, and it can also help the beasts to stabilize and mobilize the magic power."

"Generally speaking, the stronger the beast, the higher the quality of the magic crystal in the body."

Cang Xu's remarks, neither needle gold nor Zidi have any objection.This is common sense.

Then, Cangsu expressed his point of view: "I think that the magical power in the body of the magical beasts living on the island is chaotic. They cannot coordinate the magical power and make their own magical power stable and orderly. Because of this, the magical beast cannot control the body. Magic power, magic power is chaotic, and magic crystals cannot be formed."

Zidi nodded slightly, then shook her head slightly: "The magic power is chaotic, it is true that magic crystals cannot be formed. But this is only one of the possibilities that magic crystals cannot be produced. The key is Mr. Cangsu, how do you judge that the magic power in these beasts is chaotic. What about?"

This had to make Zidi doubt.

Zidi herself is a black iron-level magician, but she cannot use magic here, so she cannot investigate the state of magic within the beast.

Cang Xu is just an ordinary person, not even a magic apprentice.How could he measure it?
Facing Zidi's doubts and questions, Cang Xu calmly said, "I calculated it."

Then, the old scholar threw out a new view: "First of all, I don't think these monsters on the island are naturally produced. They are all man-made."

"Artificial Warcraft?!" Zhen Jin and Zidi looked at each other and saw each other's astonished expressions.

As for the blue-green algae on the side, he probably heard Cangxu's conclusion a long time ago, and he was not surprised at all.

"So, how do you judge that these magical beasts are not naturally produced? They are artificially created?" Zhu Jin asked.

Cang Xu explained slowly: "Since I entered the island, I have dissected a lot of magical beasts, and found that although they have a stable circulation, their organs and tissues cooperate closely, as if they were born like this, but when I really look into it, they are actually not natural."

Zidi frowned slightly, thinking about Cang Xu's words: "Unnatural?"

"Yes." The old scholar in front of him nodded, his eyes were deep, "They all lack the natural charm. Don't you think that these beasts are all pieced together?"

Zidi pondered: "I once dealt with the corpse of a monkey-tailed brown bear. It was a silver-level beast that died in the hands of Lord Zhenjin. It has the tail of a monkey, the torso of a bear, and the palm of an orangutan, but the front of the fingers. Hard and slender iron claws grow."

"At first glance, this monkey-tailed brown bear looks like it's made of orangutans, monkeys, and brown bears. But in fact, its internal bone structure is very reasonable. It has two hearts, and the rest of the internal organs are perfectly loaded. its physique."

"I am a low-level mage. When I was studying, I put the most energy into pharmacy. I have collected a lot of materials and am familiar with the structure of most creatures. Although this is the first time I have seen such a monster, I think they're all perfectly physique, not disabled, mutant, or useless bodily tissue. What's unnatural about that?"

Jin Jin's heart skipped a beat.

Zidi mentioned the monkey-tailed brown bear, which reminded him of the mutation of his hands.

In desperation, his hands suddenly mutated, becoming sharp claws like the monkey-tailed brown bear, killing the eight-legged spider with one blow.

Afterwards, his hands returned to their original appearance.

Out of some psychology that he couldn't explain himself, Zhen Jin chose to conceal this matter and did not tell Zidi.

"Zidi now mentions this matter, is also taking the initiative to show my strength." Needle Jin immediately thought of Zidi's intention.

Sure enough, the next moment he saw Spirulina's eyes widen and he cast an admiring look at himself.

Spirulina admired from the bottom of his heart: "Master, your strength is really powerful!"

"Lord Zhenjin, your talent is amazing. Your bravery and achievements will surely be widely praised." Cang Xu also echoed, and immediately looked at Zidi again.

"Lord Zidi, what you said is not wrong at all. I fully trust your judgment. Their life forms are indeed very reasonable and stable."

"I don't have the qualifications of a mage, nor have I been exposed to pharmacy, but I have been fortunate enough to read a lot of books. Some of these books are the histories of various families. These histories describe some noble families in detail. How to rise, how to manage their territory. Their early pioneering history is actually a confrontation with the environment, and the process of sorting out nature with human beings."

"The contents recorded in these books include clearing away gnolls and thieves, defending against beast tides, hunting wolves near villages, expelling wild boars from crops, etc. In order to guide the descendants of the family, the sages who compiled these history books have left many The well-drawn illustrations detail the forms and habits of beasts and beasts, and how to resist and kill them more effectively."

"It is precisely because of these contents that I have benefited a lot. After some thinking in my stupid mind, I have also reached many superficial but interesting conclusions. As a result, I also feel the unnaturalness of these beasts on the island."

"I found that beasts with horns on their heads are usually herbivores. Their horns are the main weapon used to defend against predators."

"And those relatively more ferocious carnivores have longer and sharper teeth, more developed muscles, and are good at galloping, especially for short bursts. Some of the claws have pads under them, which are more conducive to them approaching silently. prey."

Speaking of this, Cang Xu's words changed slightly.

"Not long ago, where the yellow algae hadn't found us, it was a hill, the forest was relatively sparse, the temperature was low, and occasionally there was a little snow in the wind. That was the end of our current exploration, where we With a startling glance, I saw a golden-ranked Warcraft."

"It was an elk with huge white bone antlers on its head, as if the branches were crisscrossed. This elk eats meat but not grass, and has a pair of huge snow-white wings on its back. I named it privately. For the bone-feathered deer."

"Although it's just a quick glimpse, I think its bone and flesh structure must be reasonable, and it can support its daily activities stably and perfectly."

"But it's not natural. You see, its size is not suitable for flight, a pair of huge wings, at best it has the ability to glide. It is carnivorous, survives in nature, lives at the high end, and preys on other animals. But it But it has long horns. The horns are used for defense, not conducive to attack, not conducive to its hunting and hunting, not conducive to its lurking and hiding.”

"Take the monkey-tailed brown bears killed by adults. When the monkeys are swaying in the woods, their tails balance their bodies and stabilize their direction when they jump in the air. But the brown bears Does it need it? It's very heavy, what trees can stand it? Does it jump a lot? The monkey's tail is on its body, does it make us feel a little redundant?"

"Besides, the palm of the orangutan, which is similar to the human hand, and the biggest difference between the claws of many beasts, is that the orangutan has a thumb. This structure helps the orangutan to grasp the branches when moving from tree to tree. But in the palm of the monkey-tailed brown bear, Such palms have grown sharp claws again. Isn't this superfluous?"

"That's what I call unnatural."

Seeing that the people in front of him were all thoughtful, Cang Xu continued to talk.

"The first need of life is to survive. The natural environment is cruel and harsh, and beasts that can successfully survive and reproduce often have amazing survival skills. These skills are usually bestowed by their organs."

"Like the mole. It has hard claws, and its shape makes it easy to burrow. But it's almost invisible. In fact, it doesn't need to see, because the soil is dark and dull. Instead, It's its nose. It has a very keen sense of smell."

"This is life in nature. It has its strengths and its shortcomings. In it, the advantages and disadvantages are unified, and it finds the most suitable one for itself in the cruel survival competition with other beings. Location."

"But let's look at these monsters on the island. They are too powerful. Their structure is stable, but there are contradictions and conflicts with each other. Their place in nature is not clear."

"Like the monkey-tailed brown bear killed by Lord Zhenjin, does it need a monkey's tail? It doesn't need it."

"Another example is the white-boned feathered deer. Does it need broad antlers? Neither does it. The heavy antlers on its head are an obstacle to its prey."
