Chapter 71 News of the old rival (two chapters in one)
"Does the insect also belong to the mythical beast?" Staring at the arthropod, Shuer was a little confused for a moment. Until Rex called him with a thunderous roar several times, he then retracted his gaze and asked, "And has the mythical beast also started to use tools?"
"The tool? Of course, it will be used for use. Why ask this question? Oh, you said that guy is holding his legs. Yes, in the past two years, the intelligent body has often used it. Our carnivorous bodies are only suitable for hunting, and it is very troublesome to try to cut grass and change things. But some guys only need a certain type of grass, and the demand is quite high. In the past, we could only exchange prey with other creatures, which was too troublesome and a loss. But now it is much better, and it is really convenient to use that thing to mow grass."
The Thunderstorm Beast was obviously very interested, and while saying that his two small short forelimbs were gestured in front of him, fearing that Shuer would not understand how convenient it was.
"So, where did that thing come from?" Sul had wanted Rex to help call the giant beast passing by with an arthropod in his arms, but seeing the Thunderstorm explaining so vigorously, he obviously knew the inside story, so he simply gave up his original plan, "However, it looks like a worm's silence, and it's not small. So I asked, is the insect also a member of the mythical giant beast?"
"That's not. We are not the same as insects. Although there are many bugs in the wilderness, and there are some relatively large species, they are not as germinated as we do. They only know how to eat and reproduce, and are not considered wild beasts." The Thunderstorm beast shook its rectangular head vigorously and said disdainfully, "And they are too weak. They can only survive in the wilderness by relying on their large numbers and hiding well."
"I have a reservation about their strength." Shuer thought of the insects everywhere in the insect world, and subconsciously shook his head. Even if a thunderstorm beast like Rex is thrown into that world, it will be flooded by the endless insect swarm. However, that was not the focus of Shuer's attention. His attention was always focused on that arthropod. "In addition, all the insects here are not wise?"
"Of course, do the bugs in your civilized world all have wisdom?"
"Uh...none either." This guy was deliberately annoying. Shuer rolled his eyes secretly. The deer beside him couldn't say it when he saw that he was choked and was almost falling off the back of the giant beast.
"Yes, we're the same here, but..." Rex's little claw pointed at the passing monster, "Is this an exception?"
"Um?"
"The owner of this thing lives in a valley two hours away. It is a nest of spiders. I don't know where I originally lived. I moved here two or three years ago. Their female insects are wise, and they are the only wise insect I have seen so far."
It's true.
Shuer and Moria looked at each other and smiled bitterly. Time and ethnic groups met. It seemed that the owner of the arthropod was an old friend of the past.
The mutated spider mother in the cave spider relies on energy mutation to break through the strength limit of the race and absorbs special crystal energy from the world of the insect swarm. Her individual intelligence and physical fitness have been greatly enhanced, and her strength is quite terrifying. If she hadn't joined forces with it back then, except for a few golden-level warriors, none of the team members who accidentally entered the world of the insect swarm would come back.
Since breaking up in the western wilderness, it has taken a few children to the direction of the wilderness, and has never heard of it again. I thought it was the last time the two sides had an intersection, but I didn't expect that three years later, I would actually see it here again.
When I saw this dark arthropod just now, Shuer thought of the mutant spider mother. There was no way. In order to kill it in the magic tower, Shuer had observed it repeatedly and remembered its physical characteristics in his mind. Therefore, when he saw the arthropod, Shuer could be sure that this was definitely a cave spider, and it was a giant cave spider that could not exist in theory.
…the remnants of…
At this time, Shuer's mood was a little subtle. The old opponent and old friend's stubborn limbs were indeed unhappy. After all, he had helped back then, so it was difficult to treat it as a strange bug.
"Didn't it mean that the intelligence bodies will not kill each other?" I felt that it was not a question of being hurt, but Shuer still hoped to find out the cause of the death of the mutant spider mother, which would be considered to express his gratitude for his original assistance, "Or what conflict is there between you?"
"The intelligent bodies do not kill each other, but some intelligent bodies will still die in the mouths of other predators without wisdom. Although it is not common, it is inevitable. After all, it is wilderness here." Rex showed a natural attitude, and even didn't understand why Sul asked such a stupid question.
It is true to think about it carefully. Even if you have wisdom, you are still residents of the wild land. Intellectual bodies treat each other preferentially. However, those pure beasts do not have this concept. They will not change their target just because their prey has wisdom. Of course, wise individuals do have greater advantages to survive when they are hunted, and the chance of death is smaller than that of the same kind, but it is not certain when they encounter unlucky. Smart creatures leave the city and are often attacked and eaten by monsters, let alone the mythical beasts in the wild land.
"And although that big spider can be regarded as an intelligent body, it does not communicate much with us, and rarely comes here."
"Hmm?" Shul asked, "Why?"
"Because it can't speak." Rex looked at Shuer outside and said angrily, "Have you ever seen a spider speak? How can you communicate with others if you can't speak?"
"I have never seen the thunderstorm beast speak." Shur muttered, "I saw this today."
"But we have pronunciation organs. After we have wisdom, as long as we use energy to adjust the vocal cords, we can imitate the pronunciation of your intelligent creatures. Spiders do not have vocal cords. No matter how energy they adjust, they cannot communicate normally like us."
"Okay, that's true." Shure sighed softly, "But what you said just now wasn't there's too much communication?"
"Yes, although we cannot understand it when it hisses, the dragon clan can understand it. The dragon clan has a technique called spiritual resonance, which can directly understand what the other party wants to express through the collision of the heart."
"Sound of Soul?" The first thing Shuer thought of was the sound of souls that only gods could use, and directly communicated through the soul.
"What is that?" Unfortunately, Rex had almost never come into contact with the gods, so of course he couldn't understand what Sul was talking about.
"No, Shur." Fortunately, Moriya is there. Perhaps because her mother was a divine creature with the Dragon Clan back then, she also understood the Dragon Clan. "Spiritual resonance is the racial skill of the Dragon Clan, which is completely different from the Soul Voice. It is not through soul dialogue, but as long as a certain creature has a sound consciousness and can be expressed through voice, the Dragon Clan can make both parties understand each other through soul resonance. It is a bit like the beast speaker in the wood elves, or the wild voice of our hunters, but the soul resonance is more advanced than the wild voice. We can only feel the idea of the wild beast in a vague way, but the dragon Clan can translate 100% accurately, and it is two-way. Of course, the premise is that the other party's soul can understand such complex content."
"Tsk, it's so convenient."
"Yes, I always feel that the wild voice mastered by Lin Jinghunter was actually learned from the Dragon Clan, and then taught it to the Wood Elf, so that the profession of the Beast Speaker was established. However, it was too old and I really couldn't confirm it. We asked my mother, but my mother said she didn't remember it either."
"Will the gods forget things? Well, the gods really forget things." Thinking of Lord Anika's style, Shuer didn't feel strange at all. "I think that was a skill developed by the dragon clan to keep descendants everywhere."
"Hey? That's not just right for you? No wonder you keep asking questions. It turns out that you want to learn too, so it will be convenient for you... um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um
Although they were making trouble, both of them actually understood that Shuer's guess was likely to be close to the truth. The dragon clan could leave behind descendants with various giant beasts from ancient times. In addition to their special bloodlines, they must also have a relationship of spiritual resonance with such racial skills.
"Don't worry about her, you keep going." Seeing that Moria was about to lick her palms like a real deer, Shuer quickly pulled her hand covering her mouth back and pretended that nothing had happened to him, "So the dragon clan communicated with it?"
"Yes, we have a new neighbor, and we are wise. Of course, the dragons will check it out, and then it will officially join the ranks of intelligent bodies." Rex seemed to suddenly remember it and added, "By the way, you know it, no wonder you have been asking questions all the time. I remember it. It seems that it was from that time that the dragons mentioned your name for the first time."
"Ha?" Shur almost stood firm and fell off the back of the giant beast. "Wait, wait, wait, I remember when we first met, you said someone had mentioned me in front of you. I thought it was Lord Anika, wasn't she but the mutant spider mother?"
"Anika? We haven't seen you. Maybe she mentioned you to the Dragon Clan, no, she must have mentioned you. The words she praised you should have said." Rex shook his head, "But that was later. The Dragon Clan first knew that you were through the big spider, and then told us that you should be the first intelligent creature we all pay attention to except those mages. Later, some time ago, about half a year ago, they went to find the big spider again, and after they came back, they began to study deepening cooperation with the Mage Tower."
Half a year ago, before and after the Rift Space Gods Conference, well, this was the right thing. Shuer had already sorted out the whole thing in his mind. There were no other smart creatures left with insects, the fighting priest who didn't mind cooperating with wild beasts, the prototype of the city in the experiment, the rift space to be developed, the new twisted void community, the weak Segris, the divine creatures with divine nature in the whole clan, and the purpose of the dragon clan has been slowly outlined in consciousness.
Ambition is indeed great, but...
"Since the dragon clan also accepted it, why did it die in the end?" Shuer had not forgotten his original focus. "It should not have been killed by those ordinary mythical beasts, otherwise its residual limbs would not have the chance to be regarded as tools by you."
"Who said it was dead?"
"ha?"
"Don't you know that bugs will lose a layer of carapace every once in a while?"
"Ha?" I know, I really know, but who could have thought that this was just its faded shell? Shuer rolled his eyes to the sky and silently mourned the subtle emotions in his heart just now.
"It's just a bug after all, without the protection of heavy scales and hard muscles, and its body is not strong enough (I think that Dark's idiot must not agree with this sentence). It's safe to stay in the valley with tens of thousands of little spiders, but it's more dangerous if it comes out of the valley. Unless you take all the little spiders together, it will inevitably turn into food once you encounter groups of predators, so you rarely come here." The Thunderstorm Beast ignored Shuer's different opinions and said to himself, "But the fading carapace and spider silk it spits out are still very good. Everyone likes it very much. When needed, take the initiative to rush a group of wild animals to the nearest valley as exchange. I also know the valley where they live. If you want to go and see, I can take you around in the future."
"Forget it, I'm not interested in spiders. Also, Moria, shut up." Shul shook his head hard without thinking, "And I guess there are still many opportunities to meet in another world in the future, so let's talk about it later."
"Whatever you do." Rex didn't care at all, because his attention was already attracted by another thing, "Why did they keep staring at me?"
"I think they are actually staring at me and Moria, you have been ignored."
At this time, the Thunderstorm Beast had already carried Shur and Moria to the center of the square. The surroundings were full of mythical creatures, which looked like an ancient creature exhibition. Moreover, these mythical beasts were speaking common terms inconsistently and conducting various incredible transactions. Fortunately, no currency has appeared so far, otherwise Shuer would have to seriously consider whether the mythical beasts already have their own civilization.
But even without money, everything that happened in this settlement was far beyond Shuer's expectations. Do the gods know everything about it? Shuer knew everything. Shuer believed that at least some of the gods must have known it, but they did not stop it, and even set up obstacles, but allowed the dragon clan and the mythical beasts to develop slowly themselves.
Perhaps in the eyes of the gods, these mythical beasts with wisdom are actually no different from ordinary people. They chose to separate the two sides before just to avoid wild beasts slaughtering believers. Since the mythical beasts of wisdom body can accept the existence of order and live normally like real smart creatures, as long as they can keep it, perhaps with the fraternity of the gods, they don’t mind that they slowly develop their own civilization, and they are even happy to see the arrival of this day.
Of course, that's the original thing, as for now...
