Crow's Paradise

After he completely gnawed away the spiritual body of the Black Lord of the Lake, Yao Yan also began to carefully examine the memory of the Black Lord of the Lake.

Scenes flashed across his field of vision.

It was originally just an ordinary black crocodile in Baize Lake, living in Baize Lake and preying on various living animals.

Fish, beasts, birds, and even fishermen, there is basically nothing that it has not eaten in Baize Lake.

I don’t know exactly which day it was when it regained some consciousness.

Only later did it realize that it had gained spiritual power and had become a low-level demon.

It can gradually distinguish the similarities and differences of various living creatures, and can more accurately determine which living creature to hunt with less effort and time, without affecting subsequent preying.

In the process, it finally understood the difference between human prey and other living creatures.

These humans sometimes gather in groups, and sometimes they pour food into the lake for no apparent reason.

Later it learned that this was called worship.

At first, he didn't care what those humans would do and eat the food.

That's when it started getting smarter and smarter.

It will start cultivating the food and only eat it when it reaches its maximum size. It will drive away the opponent or even eat the opponent.

And humans have gradually entered its field of vision.

Humans appear more and more frequently near the lake, and it sees those humans more and more often.

It's also getting smarter.

It knows what kind of attitude it should treat humans, and humans will do that thing called worship a few more times.

Later, it learned that among those humans, there were some very powerful ones.

Just like the difference between yourself and others of the same kind.

Once it knows its attitude and method of doing things, those who are strong will not attack it.

After that, there were many humans around the lake.

They will raise some birds, and it doesn't matter if they eat a few occasionally. They will even take the initiative to get a bunch of them for them during worship.

And it gradually took over the lake.

It drives away and even eats every opponent.

It also attacks those who attack humans.

Because, it discovered that every time humans are attacked, there will be far fewer people at the lake for a period of time.

That kind of thing called worship will also become less common.

Days like this lasted for a long time, and it became smarter and smarter.

In long-term communication, it can understand the meaning of every human voice.

It can communicate with humans.

From that time on, the pace of change accelerated again.

Some humans will call it "Lord of the Lake", "Lord of the Lake", "Dragon Son", and "Lord of the Dragon".

After that, it discovered that its body was changing.

It looks different from other similar ones.

The humans treated him better when communicating with those humans.

Even, later.

It's getting closer and closer to humans.

only

Then, things changed.

Human beings gradually moved away from the lake.

It also felt itself getting sleepy.

After not taking action for a long time, when you come out again, you will see fewer humans.

It sometimes wants to eat these humans.

No, it did eat humans again.

But sometimes, he doesn't want to eat and wants to talk to humans like before.

However, the latter situation becomes less and less.

Pieces of unclear memories flashed across Yao Yan's field of vision.

All the memories of this Lake Lord's life were captured by Yao Yan.

However, compared to Hu Jun's memories of how to eat and how to eat, he paid more attention to his own changes.

After devouring the spiritual body of the Lake Lord, he became stronger.

However, it was not entirely due to swallowing Lord Hu’s spiritual body.

To be precise, it was because during his battle with Lake Lord, his attack and power polluted the Lake Lord's spiritual body, and after devouring the part of his spiritual body that corresponded to his own abilities, he became stronger.

How should I put it? Lord Hei Minghu has had several experiences of deceiving humans in order to obtain food for worship, saying that demons have arrived.

The mental parts attached to these memories, when he attacked Kurotsuko-kun, his power contaminated these parts, transforming these parts into a state similar to his own.

When he devoured the spiritual body of Lord Black Lake, these parts were swallowed by him, allowing his spirit to grow.

Yao Yan thought carefully and compared the information given by Lao Jia.

Soon, he found the key.

That is.

Two conditions.

First, the target has the behavior of creating or spreading rumors.

The second is that he was directly affected by his power.

Old Man Goriot spread rumors, but he was not directly affected by his power and changed before being swallowed by him.

The same is true for the previous "Bohe".

The information given by "Lao Jia" was quite vague and general, and did not explain exactly what form it was in.

but now.

Through another piece of evidence, Yao Yan roughly confirmed this matter.

That is.

He was able to confirm that "crying wolf" also had growth.

The power of the black and white strange crow increased slightly.

The reason can probably be attributed to.

This Lake Lord has deceived human beings several times.

After the Lord of the Lake cheated him several times, the people seemed to start to become suspicious. When he said that there were demons coming nearby, the humans did not offer sacrifices.

It matches the structure of "The Boy Who Cried Wolf".

Perhaps this is why Cry Wolf's powers have grown?

From this point, we can probably determine that it is related to the experience of the spiritual body that he swallowed.

This is somewhat similar to how ordinary people feel when they become inmates.

When ordinary people become inmates, they will develop different abilities based on their own experiences, impressions and concepts.

The so-called "pollution" is essentially similar to this process.

And after swallowing such a polluted spiritual body, you can grow.

In essence, it is the same behavior as swallowing a thought body that is similar to one's own abilities.

However, the body of thoughts of the same type as one's own is itself a highly condensed and transformed spirit.

What is produced through "pollution" is a semi-finished product.

Not a complicated principle.

What a profiteer, using this "basic knowledge" as a bargain.

But it doesn't matter, he doesn't lose either.

A simple principle was expressed so vaguely that he thought some complicated operation was required.

Although he had vague speculations before, he was still a little disappointed when it was confirmed.

Regarding Lao Jia, Yao Yan silently labeled him a "profiteer".

After roughly determining the situation and confirming how "pollution" should be caused, Yao Yan was prepared for the next step.

Through the identity of "Lake Lord", he has many things he can do.

However, the only way to find a suitable target is a human being.

Even if animals can spread rumors, their mental bodies are relatively weak, and after being polluted, they can gain less power through devouring them.

Sure enough, it has to be a human being.

and

Must it be a descendant of hundreds of families, or a demon?

Yao Yan began to make plans.

Oh no, the plan has already begun.

Rumors, whether they are made or spread, have essentially become a part of rumors.

In the lake, the giant crocodile surfaced, looking in the direction of Koma City with its indifferent eyes.
