Prehistoric Calendar

Chapter 1270 The Power of Ten Thousand Races
Gu sat by the bonfire, roasting large pieces of horse meat and horse legs, and he ate every time a piece was roasted.

"... Eight muscles have been stretched, and they are specifically distributed in the following positions..."

"...The arms, shoulders, and bones around the waist are slightly damaged..."

"...The internal organs are not damaged much..."

Shi's voice kept ringing in Gu's mind, and finally Shi said: "Generally speaking, according to the intensity of your battle today, it should be no problem for you to continue fighting for 10 minutes, but if it exceeds 10 minutes, your body will be damaged." The damage you receive will accumulate beyond the critical point, and although you won’t lose your combat effectiveness all of a sudden, you will feel your strength weaken and fatigue, and then the battle will drop sharply, and energy consumption is also a big problem.”

Gu Weiwei nodded and said: "Well, 10 minutes... I understand. By the way, you have been monitoring my body during this battle. Do you have any suggestions for my current body structure?"

"...Sorry, I'm just a slime." Shi said a little speechlessly.

Gu Dun rubbed his head in distress. He actually knew what Shi said. His consciousness and intelligence came from the drop of blood in his body. Under such circumstances, such an intellectual consciousness as Shi was born very accidentally, but in essence, it is still just a slime with knowledge, but it does not have the ability to flexibly apply this knowledge, such as when reshaping the body for Gu. , It is to copy and apply according to those biological knowledge, so there is a situation where Gu was on the verge of death at that time.

What Gu wanted was advice, advice on physical strength and change.

"It seems that you need to fight against stronger existences to know your own weaknesses more clearly. In addition, these soldiers of all races are actually no different from us humans in terms of strength, speed, and responsiveness. It's just that they have More sophisticated armor and weapons are nothing more than that, if we humans have the same sophisticated weapons and equipment, then the myriad races would be nothing special..." While eating meat, Gu looked at another bonfire more than ten meters away. The dozen or so humans he saved,

These dozen or so human beings are all primitive humans who were born on the edge of this desert like Gu. After being rescued by Gu, the dozen or so humans were obviously afraid of Gu. On the other hand, it was Gu's powerful strength that made them feel a deadly threat.

This ancient understanding, unless you are a close relative or a very familiar partner, otherwise when you are close to a powerful life, your instinct will keep telling you the danger, even the bravest people will feel fear, this situation Gu himself I have encountered it before, and after obtaining the knowledge passed down by history, Gu knew that this fear is necessary for the survival of life, because only with this kind of fear can life be preserved at the beginning of reproduction. The life of fear has been extinct since its first birth.

So Gu didn't get close to these dozens of people, he was a human being, and he wouldn't hurt them. In this case, they only needed a little more time, and they would naturally accept Gu's existence. This was Gu's idea.

After hearing Gu talking to himself, Shi said: "It's just that you don't know much. Gu, let Master Shi tell you the truth. The so-called human beings have always been slaughtered by thousands of peoples. Captured, used as meat, livestock, slaves, or objects of experimentation, in the eyes of all races, human beings do not pose any threat at all. No, it is not so much a threat, but in the eyes of all races, human beings are a It is more suitable to be a kind of garbage-like weak ants that live in the wild."

Gu Momo ate the meat, he neither showed anger nor disbelief, he just tried his best to think about the meaning of these words that Shi said.

Shi continued: "This world is vast and boundless, called the Great Desolate Continent..."

"I know this." Gu said: "The Great Desolate Continent is the name of the world we live in, and Wanzu is the name of many, many races. I know all of these, and I also know that Wanzu is hostile to us humans. Attacking and massacring us humans, other than that? Why do you say that we humans are weak ants living in the wild? These ten thousand races are not strong enough, except that they have things made of this metal, maybe their civilization is better than We are strong, but we are all intelligent beings, all..."

Shi interrupted Gu's words and said: "Gu, you are my friend, I don't want to offend you, but what I said is indeed true... I probably became conscious five or six hundred years ago, how much is it? I don't know, my consciousness was very ignorant at the beginning. Although I was much smarter than ordinary slimes, it was only a newborn consciousness, similar to when you were two or three years old. Many things were just seen but not understood. Fortunately, I am a slime, and my luck is good, I didn't die immediately... In short, when I was first born with consciousness, thousands of races and humans were still living in the prehistoric continent, in the land rich in water and grass, There are both ten thousand races and human beings, and all ten thousand races at that time were also primitive tribes.”

Gu nodded slightly, and Shi continued: "For things like civilization and knowledge, it seems that the more people there are, the greater the chance of producing new things. I'm not very clear about this, after all, I'm just a slime , but I will see, recalling now, when human beings lived with thousands of races, except for a few thousand races, human fertility was extremely strong, surpassing most of the races, and human beings were also smart enough In just one or two hundred years, many large tribes with more than tens of thousands appeared, and these large tribes began to build stone buildings, city walls, and metal weapons. At that time, the ten thousand tribes could only rely on human bodies To confront human beings with their own strength, human beings are vaguely stronger than many ten thousand races."

"But as time passed, extraordinary people began to be born among the ten thousand races. The number of superhumans in the clan is increasing, and they begin to sacrifice gods, create religions, build temples and so on, and as long as there are enough sacrifices, there will often be gods who will perform miracles, or give knowledge, or give Some extremely powerful artifacts and the like, or give shelter to the tribe where the temple is located. In short, those are things that are unimaginable for human beings. As time passed, the ten thousand races became stronger and more extraordinary, and there were more and more extraordinary people. At the same time, there are more and more feedbacks from the gods sacrificed, and human beings have become the targets of hunting."

Gu immediately asked: "Didn't we humans give birth to superhumans? Why don't we humans sacrifice to gods?"

Shi said: "What I know is that human beings do not have superhumans. The birth of superhumans is an accidental event. Usually, only one superhuman will be born out of tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands. The chances of the supernatural being appearing in the descendants of the superhuman will be much higher than the natural birth rate of ordinary mortals. Therefore, among the races with superhumans, the superhuman will become patriarchs, leaders, etc., and then have a relationship with a large number of opposite sexes. Mating, giving birth to more offspring, so that there will be more and more superhumans in the race. At the same time, some of them are selfless and will teach other tribesmen the knowledge they have gained after becoming superhumans. Although some mortals They can't awaken themselves as extraordinary, but they can use this knowledge to exercise to become extraordinary, and this is also a way to become extraordinary."

"However, human beings cannot become superhumans. Even with knowledge, they cannot become superhumans. This seems to be the law of heaven and earth. It may be because human beings' life levels are too low and their genes are too weak to carry supernatural power. There are very occasional examples of superhuman beings in human beings, but they are not real supernatural beings. They seem to be called aliens, and they are usually accompanied by huge defects and side effects. At the same time, they cannot give birth to the next generation and cannot reproduce Pass on this blood and strength to the tribe."

"As for offering sacrifices to the gods, I have seen many human tribes offering sacrifices to the gods, heaven and earth, the sun and the moon, and nature over the centuries, but there was no response. Natural disasters and man-made disasters often perish quickly, so if things go on like this..."

When Shi said this, he didn't say anything, and Gu just looked down at the campfire in a daze.

Gu knew what would happen in the long run. This was the same as the hunting of the Pan tribe. It must be hunting herbivores. For creatures with teeth, claws, or poisonous fangs, unless they encountered them, unless they could guarantee safety Hunting, or when there is a serious shortage of food, otherwise they will not search deliberately, because this is risky, and once injured often means the death of the tribe.

This principle should be applicable to all places in the Great Desolate Continent. When the Ten Thousand Clans are getting stronger and stronger, but the human beings are stagnant. When the power gap reaches a certain critical point, the Ten Thousand Clans will start to attack the surrounding human tribes. In particular, Shi mentioned that sacrifices are needed to worship the gods. There is no doubt that human beings are the best sacrifices...

After Shi Danggu accepted this information, he continued: "For hundreds of years, in those places with abundant water and grass and fertile land, all human tribes have long since disappeared, and almost all of them have been wiped out by all races. The remaining primitive humans wandering in the wilderness, they have no language, no tribe, no hunting ground, and no fixed place to live. They are looked down upon more and more by all races, and their strength is getting weaker and weaker. They have become ants in the mouths of all races... Only here where your original tribe is, what desert, what desert, what mountain, what swamp, only these sinister places, will there be human tribes."

Gu nodded silently again. He recalled the knowledge taught by the red sage and the experiences narrated by the red sage.

The red sage once taught the ancients about the growth of the tribe's population, the fixed harvest of food in the surrounding hunting grounds, and the limit distance that can be traveled in each hunting cycle. From this, the number of people that a piece of land can carry can be calculated. Once it exceeds Then people in this tribe will starve to death until the population returns to the allowable value, and this is what the red sage said before teaching them to plant agriculture, and only planting agriculture can increase the population that a piece of land can carry number.

"...However, even if agriculture can increase the population carrying capacity, there is a limit to this number. The land that each person can grow and work is limited, and the food that the land can produce is limited, but the population is growing explosively, so it will This leads to the need for more land, which leads to the birth of cities, villages, and more people to produce a second city in the distance... This is the development of civilization, this is the iron law, and it will inevitably lead to the population moving to the surrounding suitable land Started to advance, that's why there was war, the population of Wanzu is also growing, they will inevitably move towards the surrounding land, and the poor mountains and rivers that they didn't like at the beginning will gradually become acceptable land, so sooner or later, Wan The tribes will come here, and now it is just a battle between their advance personnel and the large tribes in the sea of ​​the desert, no, that is not a battle, it is more of... just being run over."

Gu was still young at the time, so he couldn't understand the expression of the red sage. He just felt that the grandfather of the red sage looked very ferocious at that time. Now Gu knows that it is not ferocious, it is hatred, and the hatred is as deep as the sea. Hate!
(Why don’t we human beings have transcendence? Why don’t our human sacrifices respond to gods? There must be some reason for this... If we can find this reason, then we can also become superhumans like Wanzu, and also have the protection of gods ! Yes, find out why!)
Gu suddenly asked Shi Dao again: "Shi, is the extraordinary person similar to the robed Wanzu who destroyed my tribe?"

Shi said: "That should be a magician. In addition to magicians, there are also warriors, knights, warlocks, druids, etc... It can be roughly divided into extraordinary occupations of the combat system and extraordinary occupations of the law system. And, you The magician I encountered was actually not powerful. I have seen several super powerful transcendents in the past few hundred years. Among them, the strongest one directly destroyed a mountain range and smashed it into pieces. Fragments, that is a horror you can never imagine!"

"Mountain range!?" Gu Jai really showed shock, and he said in a daze, "The kind of high mountain behind my tribe?"

"It's much bigger than that!" Shi said seriously: "It's a very big, very big mountain range, so you understand? I just said that you haven't met Chaofan, and your sister hasn't met a powerful Chaofan. That's all. That’s why Wanzu regards humans as ants, and I also think humans are very weak.”

(A mountain range like that... can life be destroyed? Then what is the difference between this and a natural disaster? My sister... My sister will definitely not be able to defeat such an existence...)
Gu's heart was heavy, and he was stunned for a while, holding a piece of meat in a daze.

Suddenly, there was a voice that said, "...Hey, are you... from a nearby tribe?"

Gu looked over and saw several humans he had rescued standing five or six meters away. The leader was a young man, and he asked Gu a little timidly.
