Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire

"A creature with only one heart is too fragile."

This was when Wayne sneaked into the underwater lair of a strange race and heard the strange creature, who was suspected to be an elder or a sacrifice, making crazy remarks to the same kind of people nearby.

“If we want to survive here, we must lose our fatal weakness!

Members of our race must have at least two hearts, a stomach that can absorb nutrients from stones, kidneys that can decompose highly toxic substances, stronger eyesight and hearing organs, muscles that contain stronger strength, and harder bones. With scales..."

"..."

Wayne stayed in the shadows so that he could not be noticed by any creature, just being a silent observer, observing a crazy race that he had never seen in his life.

Yes, crazy. Apart from this description, Wayne didn't know what other adjectives he could use to describe their behavior.

Because after he went deeper, he discovered that the various parasites used by members of these races were not special species, but were hatched together when they were born.

This strange race and the various parasites they use are relatives by blood, and can be said to be true brothers and sisters. Because of this, there is almost no obstacle or stagnation during the integration.

He has never seen such a race that transforms its own race into biological tools. Although these monsters themselves have no such awareness, they regard this as a natural adaptive evolution.

However, I have to admit that such a way of annihilating ethics and trampling on secular concepts has indeed allowed this race to occupy a place in this resource-rich swamp.

After the disintegration of these creatures, it is very difficult for individual individuals to survive and can only become the lowest level in the food chain. However, after three or five are merged into an eight-armed ichthyosaur, they are qualified to compete for resources in this swamp and expand the territory of the group.

But it's just a qualification. They are only in the middle level of the ecological niche in this swamp. They can still be hunted by the top-level overlord creatures. The food tags on them have still not been removed.

The combined creatures piled up in quantity cannot reach the level of qualitative change. Therefore, the elders of this monster tribe, or the ruling class like sacrifices, have even more crazy ideas.

Biological transformation!

For a creature born with only one heart, in the normal evolution of life, even if there is pressure from the environment, how many years will it take to grow a second heart and have the internal organs, bones, muscles and blood circulation to adapt to it? They cannot afford to wait for such a long time for complex systems.

Compared with natural evolution, it is obviously faster to insert a heart through surgery.

Of course, this statement is too crude, and the actual operation must be more detailed, because it is not only the heart that is inserted, but also specially cultivated organs that can form a circulation with the original organs.

This is why Wayne thinks this group is too crazy, because their theories are not only crazy, not supported by enough knowledge, and their technology is so crude that they cannot be seen, but they still dare to put it into practice directly.

Even the mage apprentices shook their heads after looking at the theoretical and technical level, as well as the bloody, slaughterhouse-like operating table with no details at all. These monster elders dared to tie their kind to the operating table and perform biological transformation.

Savage, bloody, primitive, rough, as well as stupid, ignorant and naive, any derogatory word can be used for them.

Biological modification is not a rare thing for a well-informed extraordinary person like Wayne.

Many existing species in the material world were not born and evolved naturally, but were born from various magical experiments.

But the birth of these species is a very rigorous process, and the most typical one is the Chimera, which is like a spliced ​​monster, and has now evolved into an independent monster race.

However, under this successful case, there are countless failures buried, and no matter how many mages worked hard, they were unable to create a qualified synthetic beast.

A group of monsters with no theoretical knowledge, just saw the mutant kin who were born different, and wanted to transform those ordinary individuals into similar forms, and also wanted to concentrate all the advantageous mutations on them.

It’s simply a fantasy and a wishful thinking!

Wayne originally wanted to scold him like this, but in this weird demiplane, under the transformation of these monster elders regardless of sacrifice and cost, some monsters actually survived the surgery.

Although it was a four-armed giant without any sense of beauty, it was created purely for the pursuit of greater strength. It was ugly and bloated. Even the green fish scales all over the body could not hide the explosive muscles full of violence.

The upright height is less than five meters, which is far inferior to those of the same kind that have brothers and sisters fused with weapons into their bodies. However, it has not accepted any biological fusion, or it can be said that it has stuffed its brothers and sisters into its body, and can no longer There is no fusion and disintegration, it is a single biological entity.

This was a very outrageous case, so outrageous that even Wayne, who was not a spell caster, felt as if his outlook and cognition had been shattered.

"Is this okay?"

Looking at the ugly giant in front of him, which was walking with two thick legs in the water, waving its four arms, moving its body, and adapting to its new form, Wayne just felt that it was too nonsense.

He just saw with his own eyes that the group of monsters cut open the wailing fellow, and then stuffed a lot of colorful internal organs into his abdomen, for unknown purposes, and then cut open his muscles, stuffed them with muscles, and stuffed bones into them, and finally threw them into the nutrient pool without even suturing them.

A biologically modified synthetic beast without even sutures, the cut flesh and blood healed entirely by its own vitality, and those who survived survived, and those who couldn't survive became nutrients in the nutrient pool.

Any spellcaster who saw this kind of transformation experiment and still had a successful case would think that the world was crazy.

"Dragon blood?"

Wayne was not a spellcaster, so he would not be shocked by this unreasonable result. Instead, he could see the reasonable logic hidden under all this irrationality.

"Golden sun?"

He found the reason why this giant was born. Everything came from the sun of the demiplane. Any creature that could survive on this land would have an extremely vigorous and twisted vitality.

The twist is that all creatures here have a terrifying devouring instinct. They seem to feel that they are incomplete and incomplete, and will instinctively devour and merge with other creatures to fill their own incompleteness and incompleteness.

This experiment took place underwater. From the knife-wielding transformer, the transformation facilities, and the transformation environment, all the necessary conditions were not perfect, or even did not exist at all. The reason why it was successful was precisely because of this. The transformed monsters would instinctively devour everything and complete themselves.

Of course, under this successful case, there are piles of corpses. I don’t know how many monsters did not survive the operation that was no different from torture, and died directly on the operating table.

This way of death is relatively clean and neat. The real tragedy is that after finally surviving the operation, there is still half a breath left, and then thrown into the nutrient pool. This pool contains dragon blood, is highly corrosive, and is not much better than a strong acid solution.

Only the strong who can absorb nutrients from it can survive, otherwise they will become the solution in the pool water and turn into nutrients.

The lives of the weak are as cheap as grass, and only the strong are qualified to survive.

However, surviving does not mean the end, but the beginning of a new round of nightmares. Wayne watched this successful case being put on the operating table again. The monster elders were still not satisfied with such results, and they wanted to further transform.

"A bunch of lunatics!"

Wayne, who had been following and observing for many days without knowing it, did not watch it anymore. After giving the final evaluation, he left the water.

Because it was too desperate. Born in such an environment and living in such a tribe, even if Wayne put himself in it, he could not see any hope.

Because it was a difficult hurdle from the beginning of hatching, most monsters would have their brains removed at this time and be directed to be cultivated into various biological tools. Only a small number of embryos judged to be excellent could be hatched.

Even so, they have to go through many screenings before they can become soldiers who can use biological weapons and become the most ordinary members of the monster clan.

Of course, there are channels for upward promotion. Just stay alive. As long as you live long enough, you can also become the ruler of the clan, but staying alive here is the most luxurious.

Even those monster clan elders who can dissect and modify their own clans at will are sometimes eaten as snacks by passing monsters.

Desperate and hopeless future, even so, this monster race is struggling, trying to continue its race, even if it is to transform itself beyond recognition.

"Shahua fishman!"

Although he didn't recognize it at first, after observing for a while, even Wayne, who had never been to the seaside, still determined the origin of this monster clan, the fishman who was called the ocean demon.

In this half plane full of dragon species and dragon vein creatures, all ordinary members were also forced to be screened out. Like the dog-headed people, ordinary species are not even allowed to breathe here.

Only individuals who have completed adaptive mutations have the possibility of being born, and then come to experience the living environment like hell.

To be honest, Wayne, who is very familiar with the environment of hell, feels that even hell is more friendly than here. At least, in some areas of hell, ordinary species can still breathe.

But it doesn't work here, because the plants here are too dense, and the air is filled with many spores that are invisible to the naked eye. Once you accidentally inhale them, if your immune system is not strong enough, you will soon become a walking mushroom.

"Teacher Wayne, are you done with the tour?"

When Wayne returned to the designated area, crossed the teleportation array, and left the demiplane, he felt the lighter but softer sunlight, and the warmth falling on his body. His body and mind relaxed involuntarily, and he took a deep breath and then exhaled, and a sweet question came,

"How does it feel? Is it great?"

"Yeah, it's eye-opening."

Seeing the big fairy with faint golden scales on her delicate and cute little face, Wayne said with heartfelt emotion.

"Right, that's what everyone who enters for the first time says."

The big fairy looked very proud, and those who didn't know thought that the demiplane secret realm she recommended to people was some fairyland.

"However, I personally feel that opening this demiplane to students as an entrance test is too harsh?"

Wayne tactfully expressed his opinion. Although he could walk freely in the demiplane due to his strength, he still vaguely felt that there was an aura of danger deep in the demiplane.

"Harsh? How could that be?"

The big goblin who took Wayne through the onboarding process tilted his head, obviously unable to understand.

"The environment inside is not only dangerous for students, but also has too many fatal factors."

Wayne be blunt.

He felt that throwing students into such an environment was a different kind of massacre.

When he came back, he saw a gap in the sky, and groups of goblins were thrown in. In a very short period of time, all the goblins were eaten up by the animals and plants below. The scene was simply... When fed with food, almost no one survives.

"Entering the Dragon Domain to survive for one day is the last level of the assessment, and the elimination rate is the lowest. Most freshmen entering it mainly want to familiarize themselves with the environment and broaden their horizons and knowledge. The teleportation location is also fixed. As long as they don't wander around at will, there is basically no problem. Danger."

There was confusion in the big goblin's eyes. In her understanding, the Dragon Realm was a very dreamy and beautiful paradise. There were so many novel things that she had never seen before, and there were treasures everywhere, and they were free to use them.

"The final test?"

Wayne was stunned and suddenly realized something.

"Yes, the enrollment threshold of Dragon Academy is mainly based on talent. Test your will. If there are no problems with these two items, you can basically enroll. Going to Dragon Domain is just to get a feel for it in advance. There is not much danger."

"Is there something you didn't give me?"

The young man looked at the goblin in front of him, especially the golden scales on his cheeks. He discovered one thing. All creatures with golden scales in the dragon domain have basically the highest status among their respective races, and they will encounter unprovoked attacks. A lot less, a powerful deterrent.

"Hey, I'm sorry, I forgot to give you your teacher's certificate."

As Wayne's eyes gradually solidified, the big goblin took out a chest ornament made of golden dragon scales.
