Infinite Bloodcore
Chapter 26: Terrible conjecture
In the tent, Cang Xu continued to talk.
"I have served the Shatta family and have lived in desert oases for decades. The desert lacks water, and there are particularly dry seasons throughout the year. Most of the oases will dry up or even disappear."
"Where we are, there is a kind of red frog. It will bury itself deep in the ground, drink as much water as possible, and become several times larger to store as much water as possible."
"Then, when the drought hits, they become motionless, as if bears were hibernating."
"At this time, they are extremely fragile. They have no ability to move at all. At the same time, their bodies store too much water, causing their skin to swell and become extremely fragile and thin."
"However, it is precisely because of such changes that this water-skinned red frog can survive the dry season. However, beasts that are much stronger than them are buried in the sea of sand."
"This is the charm of nature. The water-skinned red frog has found a suitable place for it in nature. It has strong survival skills, but it is also very fragile."
"It has done its best to survive in nature. It has no way to grow claws, wings, etc. The more powerful the organ, the more nutrients it needs to grow. The more sophisticated the tissue, the longer it takes. time to evolve.”
"Competition in nature is very cruel and the pressure is huge. Species such as the monkey-tailed brown bear and the white-bone feathered deer will not evolve."
"If the environment was very relaxed and there was no pressure to survive, creatures would be lazy, fat, and leisurely, and there would be no powerful life forms like the monkey-tailed brown bear or the white-bone feathered deer."
"Such a species can only be artificial."
Zidi let out a long sigh: "I've learned a lesson. Mr. Cangxu, I sincerely admire your knowledge."
Zhen Jin nodded and agreed.
Lan Zao had already heard Cang Xu's analysis, and now he echoed: "If it weren't for Mr. Cang Xu, we would have died in that desert long ago."
Cang Xu continued: "Of course, all this is just my conjecture. I have no evidence to confirm it yet. But I am almost certain that these weird monsters must not be natural creations. In addition to the fact that they are most likely man-made, it may also be because Species mutation caused by the aftermath of certain minerals and spells.”
Lan Zao couldn't help but ask: "Then who can create so many magical beasts? Which big shot in the empire is it? Is it a god? Only gods have the power to create things, right?"
Zidi shook her head slightly: "Mages are also possible. As far as I know, legendary mages can transform and manage demiplanes. Isn't this imitating the creation of gods?"
Cangxu sighed bitterly: "Perhaps it is a legendary archmage, or a certain god in the upper echelons of the empire, who opened his experimental laboratory for creation here. This island is not small in area, but it has never been discovered. Its location is actually very close to the route of the Hogkiss. We were able to land on this island because of the shipwreck, which was completely accidental."
Blue Algae couldn't help but pale a little: "This island is too scary. How powerful must it be to be able to hide this island and create so many monsters!? He wants to kill us more than crushing ants. Easy. It’s strange, why doesn’t He destroy us directly? We have discovered His secret!”
Cang Xu whispered: "Perhaps He is not on this island for the time being. He has gone out? Maybe He doesn't care at all. Our every move is under His surveillance. He watches us struggling here and treats it as a kind of Fun. When we are almost successful in escaping from this island, He will take action."
Lan Zhao couldn't help but lost his composure: "Then aren't we doomed?!"
For a moment, the atmosphere in the tent was quite heavy.
In the face of such a great existence, any escape plan and even the young knight's ambitions are a joke.
After a long time, Zhen Jin let out a breath: "Mr. Cangxu's conjecture is thrilling. But I have to say that it is reasonable. According to this conjecture, we might as well continue to speculate that the changes in the landform here should also be man-made. .So Mr. Cangxu, do you think this is a magic that moves the land, or a magic circle that teleports?"
Cang Xu: "First of all, I personally feel that the changes in the landscape are not aimed at us. It would be too easy for a great being to target us and eliminate us. There is no need to go to war in such a big way."
"Secondly, I prefer the transmission of magic circles over divine magic."
"We have personally experienced changes in the landscape. The whole process was very fast, and in a trance, we were in the forest from the desert. This is very consistent with the description of magical teleportation in the book."
"I think the changes in the landscape here are just because we were teleported, and the terrain itself has not shifted. Otherwise, it would be too costly to move a large piece of land every once in a while."
"Of course, all this is still my speculation, just like an ant guessing the scenery in the clouds. It's ridiculous and overestimating one's capabilities."
"Finally, I think that the teleportation mechanism that seems to have changed the landscape is probably one of the measures taken by the owner of this island to maintain the island's ecology."
Zidi blinked: "Excuse me, sir, how do you judge this?"
Cang Xu responded: "I have discovered that not only are we being teleported, but many ferocious beasts will also be teleported to new places."
A bolt of lightning flashed through Zhen Jin's mind, and the young man thought of the group of scaly-horned black panthers.
The scale-horned leopard group should have originally lived in the jungle, but ended up coming to the mountain forest with the boys and girls.
Here they need to open up a new territory, so they first compete with monkey-tailed brown bears, and then lose their lives in a group of blade spiders.
Zidi looked at Cang Xu: "If these beasts were also teleported, then maybe the owner of this island wanted to let them fight and select the strongest monsters. It's like the alchemy puppet competition held by the Alchemy Guild. How about cultivating the most powerful life weapon?"
Cang Xu smiled: "Master Zidi's analysis is very reasonable, and it is indeed possible. But I still insist that maintaining the ecology is more likely."
"Don't you think that the natural balance of this island is actually in danger?"
"Despite the vastness of nature, in fact, it has a fragile side."
"The Shatta family hires bishops from the Temple of Life every year to help them increase their crop production. I have communicated with them, and I have also been fortunate enough to seek advice from wandering druids."
"There are various life cycles in nature. To take the simplest example, plants grow from the soil and are eaten by herbivores. The flesh and blood of herbivores become food for those carnivores. And the feces of these animals , becoming nutrients for plant growth. Their dead bones disintegrate in the soil and turn into fertility in the soil."
"Nature is full of this cycle of life. Even the most powerful predators will be damaged by fighting each other, limited by lifespan, and challenged by harsh changes in the environment."
"The Shatta family once had a continuous locust plague for several years. With the help of a Druid master, the root cause was found. It turns out that the reason why the locusts grew in size and became difficult to contain was because there were fewer bread scorpions eating their eggs. ”
"Why are there fewer bread scorpions? It's because during those years, the Shata family began to form family cavalry. They purchased a large number of chocobos, and when these chocobos were freed, they liked to peck at the bottom of the sand. The bread scorpion.”
"The cycle of life is like a chain, with links interlocking with each other. They influence each other. Once there is a problem in one link, it is likely to amplify the problem and turn into catastrophic results."
Cang Xu said this and dropped the topic: "There are too many monsters on this island. They are not naturally formed. For the ecology of this island, carrying so many monsters is a huge burden. If you don't pay attention, The cycle of life will be broken, causing irreversible disaster.”
"It makes sense." Zhenjin nodded.
He thought of the monkey-tailed brown bear.
This silver ferocious beast feeds on ores, and so far, it obviously has no natural enemies.
If it is allowed to survive, it will eat up all the ores sooner or later. The mineral veins that emit heat have always had a major influence on that area. Once eaten, it will cause drastic effects in many other aspects, such as a sharp drop in temperature.
But in the end, due to the teleportation mechanism, the monkey-tailed brown bear and the scale-horned leopard fought in a group, and eventually died in the hands of Zhenjin.
The future natural crisis on the island has been resolved in advance.
Zidi's thoughts spread: "In this way, the owner of this island deliberately created jungles, mountains, deserts, snow peaks and other landforms in order to restrain these created ferocious beasts, stabilize the island's ecology, and maintain the natural environment. Balanced? But why do I always feel: He wants to select the strongest monster that can adapt to all environments!"
The girl did not give up her conjecture about biological weapons.
Cang Xu added: "I think teleportation is just one of the island's Lord's measures to stabilize the ecology. There are other efforts he has made for this."
"Like the Fire Bee."
"Don't you think that this kind of swarm of bees was specially created by Him to prevent jungles and forests from causing huge fires?"
"There is also a demon-forbidden environment. The environment here strictly prohibits low-level magic and fighting spirit, which is more stringent than the demon-forbidden ring in Sky City. This is not like a defense mechanism, because it is unnecessary to defend against low-level enemies. , On the contrary, it is like shackles, preventing those monsters from exerting their own strength."
"That's why I speculated that this magic-forbidden environment is actually a measure to protect these monsters."
"Please give me some advice, sir." Zidi took the initiative to ask for advice.
Cang Xu said: "The magic beasts on the island are not naturally derived. Although their body structures are very stable, they are not in harmony with the natural environment. At the same time, the magic powers in their bodies conflict with each other and cannot smoothly absorb elements to form magic crystals."
"This may be the aspect that the Lord of the Island wants to improve. He has achieved the stability of flesh and blood, which is an astonishing achievement. But the patchwork body brings problems in element absorption. He cannot solve it perfectly for the time being. .”
"The magic power of chaos is extremely unstable and sometimes explodes. Even if it is forcibly suppressed, it will corrode the magic power of the carrier. If the magic power of chaos is allowed to cause harm, it will be difficult for a monster to survive for more than a week."
"So, He created a special environment. In this environment, low-level magic and fighting spirit were prohibited, thus protecting these monsters, maintaining their stability, and allowing them to exist in the world forever."
"Master Zhenjin and Master Zidi should know more about magic than I do."
Zidi nodded slightly and fell into deep thought.
Zhen Jin looked solemn.
He analyzed the current scene in a low voice: "On this island, we found bronze-level, black-iron-level, silver-level, and even gold-level monsters."
"According to current analysis, the gold-level chaotic magic will also be successfully suppressed by the environment here."
"In this way, at least those at the Holy Domain level can freely use Dou Qi here?"
No matter how talented Zhen Jin is, at his age, there is no way he can reach the level of the Holy Realm.
ps: I recommend a good book - "The Scourge of Origin", which is also a fantasy novel with excellent writing style. Even the most ordinary system must have a burning heart for cheating! It already has 270,000 words. If you are interested, you can check it out.
