Chapter 2349 Hatred in the Dark

Of course, the main body of the so-called "savages" is tens of thousands of years in the past. In the dark era ruled by the monster clan, people who could not bear the rule of the monster clan fled to the depths of the ground one after another, and when the rule of the monster clan collapsed, they also embarked on the same path , the monster clan fleeing underground.

This is because the environment at the junction of the earth's crust and mantle is extremely harsh. Not only is the oxygen available for breathing a fatal problem, but the temperature is also ridiculously high. Generally, humans cannot adapt to the wild without air circulation systems and large cooling arrays. The environment, soon after entering the wild, was annihilated one after another.

The monster clan, and the humans ruled by the monster clan in the "Dark Age", have their own unique advantages.

Now Li Yao knew that the so-called "monster race" and "human race" were the same thing, and that the "30,000-year Great Dark Age" was actually the cruel oppression and rule of humans over humans.

It's just that it was an era of highly developed biochemical technology, and the research on releasing the power of genes reached its peak.

In order to excavate underground mineral veins and utilize geothermal energy, many human beings were forced to accept genetic modulation, becoming various monster races that consume very little oxygen and are extremely resistant to drought and high temperature, and even turned into weird giant reptiles.

Human beings who have been genetically modulated are equivalent to breaking the "gene lock" in their bodies. The probability of genetic mutations in their offspring is much higher than that of ordinary people. Generations of such "human races" or "monster races" have fled to the ground. Subtly influenced by the harsh environment, the descendants of their descendants mutated further, consumed less and less oxygen, became more and more resistant to drought and high temperature, and even in some mutant species, a thin layer of plants appeared on the skin, and the plants devoured them. Carbon dioxide, spitting out oxygen, and the monsters swallowing oxygen, and then spitting out carbon dioxide, such a wonderful relationship.

At first glance, this kind of monster clan looks like flowers and plants have become spirits, but in fact, they are just poor people who were forced to migrate to such a harsh environment.

Therefore, it is extremely difficult for the humans in the 10084 area who went down to the ground during the Star Sea Empire era to adapt to a deeper life away from the refuge and human civilization, but those human races and monster races born in the 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, monster beasts, and spirit plants and demon plants. No matter the demon emperors and demon gods of the Great Dark Age, or all cultivation civilizations after the Star Sea Empire, they all want to open up the underground, except building large-scale underground shelters. Outside of the institute and the colonization base, countless organisms adapted to the subterranean anoxic, dark and high temperature environment were cultivated by means of gene modulation and radiation mutation.

They tried in vain to replicate the entire ecological system on the ground underground, so as to expand the living space by more than a hundred times, but 99% of the underground biological experiments failed. The cultivated spirit beasts, monster beasts, spirit plants, and demon plants At best, they can only adapt to the artificial environment in shelters and colonization bases, like rock worms, deformed species that can only live from birth to death in a comfortable laboratory.

However, after many shelters and underground towns were destroyed by earthquakes and magma eruptions, 1% of the experimental creatures escaped. They were both difficult and lucky to overcome many difficulties, survived tenaciously, and became wild Monster beasts 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 or dogs.

Li Jialing told Li Yao that although savages and monsters are ferocious, they generally would not easily attack established towns like District 10084, because although the shelter system here has collapsed, there are still some defensive formations that have not completely failed. And the people here also exchanged a large number of rock worms and the upper-level residents for a lot of powerful offensive magic weapons. If the savages didn't fight to the death with all their nests, it was unlikely that they could swallow a town in one go.

What's more, there are also conflicts between savages and savages. They are divided into different ethnic groups and tribes, and the hatred between them has even lasted for more than ten thousand years. Do not violate the river water.

Li Yao asked Li Jialing, what kind of hatred do wild people have?

Li Jialing replied that the savages gradually evolved into different tribes according to their origins and the time they went deep into the ground. The savages of this tribe are all oppressed humans who came to the underground during the 30,000-year dark age, while the savages of that tribe are the rise of the Star Sea Empire. At that time, the nobles of the monster clan who were beaten and fled, don't these two tribes have natural hatred?

When the two tribes were fighting to the death, the Star Sea Empire on the ground collapsed again, and a large number of people who had just sprouted the idea of ​​cultivators also fled underground. Although most of them stayed in the shelter, There are also very few people who want to use the power of the savages to stir up trouble, and this will add fuel to the fire, making this endless dark war even more chaotic and cruel.

Even though time goes by, civilization is annihilated, and the light of most civilizations is dimmed from the depths of their minds, the brand of hatred has been passed down from generation to generation. Up to now, even these savage tribes themselves don't know why they want to fight with hostile tribes. It has become an instinct engraved on their genetic chain.

Li Jialing told Li Yao that there are three tribes of savages dormant in the wild death area near town 10084, which are called "Black Armor", "Night Wing" and "Red Ring".

As the name suggests, the black-armored man has an extremely strong black carapace. This carapace not only has a strong defense, but more importantly, its structure is like a very special solar panel, which can store the high temperature in the ground. Converting it into a part of the energy necessary for survival greatly reduces the food demand of the Heijia people, and also reduces unnecessary foraging and hunting behaviors to the limit, greatly improving their survivability.

The Nightwing has a pair of wide skin wings. In the rugged and narrow underground of the cave, these skin wings are naturally not used for flying or gliding, but can wrap the Nightwing completely and turn it into a cold body. The huge chrysalis, on the one hand, can lock the loss of body temperature and water, and on the other hand, prevent other underground hunters from prying into their existence through infrared perception.

Many residents in District 10084 believe that after the Nightwing man wraps himself with skin wings, he will turn into a cold stalagmite, which can go into a special hibernation state without eating or drinking for several years. This is of course a bit exaggerated, but It can also be seen that the nightwing people's survivability is strong.

The Red Rings are the most fearsome hunters in this area.

The talents of the Heijiaren and the Nightwing are both defensive, while the genetic mutation of the Red Ring is inclined to attack.

They have a pair of red eyes that are extremely sensitive to infrared rays, and have also evolved bat-like ultrasonic detector organs. These two abilities enable them to clearly perceive everything around them in the dark depths without any light.

With the powerful hunting ability, the Red Ring people have been suppressing the Nightwing people for thousands of years, and even the skin organs of the Nightwing people are very likely to have evolved to avoid the prying eyes of the Red Ring people.

It wasn't until the Heijia people migrated here from other places and fought against the Red Ring people together with the Nightwing people that the war between the wildling tribes returned to a balance of power. of.

However, the recent earthquakes near area 10084 have become more and more frequent, and it seems that the habitats of many demonic beasts and demonic plants have been destroyed. The conflict between the savage tribes suddenly became acute.

If such a contradiction is not resolved in time, it will evolve into two possibilities.

On the optimistic side, the three wildling tribes of Black Armor, Nightwing and Red Ring will lose all three in a fierce battle, and they will all be wiped out.

But it is also possible, if the three tribes have no source of food, maybe they will temporarily endure the hatred deep in their genes, unite together, and attack the nearest town of 10084 After all, thousands of fat rock worms are moaning The cry can be transmitted all the way to the depths of the ground along the gap.

It was against this background that Long Yangjun took some compressed food and went to the activity area of ​​the three savage tribes of Heijia, Yeyi and Red Ring. There were also many Wuyou believers who went with her In addition to the believers in 10084 towns, there are also many believers from four-digit towns and even higher places.

In the concept of Wuyou Cult, all human beings are brothers and sisters, no matter what class they live in, even the underground wilderness without a number, they are all worthy of help and salvation.

Li Yao frowned and listened to Li Jialing's introduction, so he wanted to search for the coordinates of Lord Long Yang together with him, and go deep into the savage tribe.

When he passed the "towering tree" in the center of town 10084 again, he suddenly changed his mind with a thought.

"Wait first."

Li Yao said, "Tell me where the air circulation system in area 10084 and the core magic weapon unit for cooling the large formation are, and take me to have a look."

As Li Yao expected, the air circulation system and the core magic unit of the cooling array are all under this "towering tree", which is the main control crystal brain.

These two things are the lifeblood of underground people. Once they are damaged, they will either suffocate to death due to lack of oxygen, or die from extreme heat.

But the underground people don't know whether it is out of fear of the "immortal cultivators" or out of absolute trust in the "Wangyou Tiannv", believing that the distinguished guests of Wangyou Tiannv will not harm them, and no one dares to step forward to stop their investigation. Tan, just shrinking his neck and watching from a distance.

Onlookers' faces still had doubts, confusion and nervousness, but on the faces of the middle-aged and old people, there was only the calmness and silence of resignation as before.

The magic weapon of air filtration and circulation can be regarded as one of the essential basic magic weapons in star sea navigation. Every starship has it, and it can't be more common.

What's more, Li Yao is the little prince of ventilation ducts. He has in-depth research on ventilation ducts of various shapes and structures and air circulation systems, so naturally there is no possibility of mistakes.

Uncovering the shell of the magic weapon unit in a smooth manner, the carbon dioxide sieve, filter and pure oxygen generator inside made Li Yao's expression sink slightly.
