Gamers Are Fierce - Chapter 969
[Chapter 968 Self-produced (4K)]
After speaking, the village chief paused and smiled bitterly: “Looking at it now, my ancestors may have wanted to wash away the negative influence of the ghoul’s blood through intermarriage with the outside world, so that the clansmen will gradually become Normal human beings.
So it is closer to the holy and great holy mountain.
According to common sense, there is no problem with this plan, but…”
Li Ang asked: “There is a little deviation in the plan?”
“That’s right.” The
village chief nodded and said: “In the beginning, the bloodthirsty impulses of the clansmen were indeed suppressed. The appearance of the newborns was exactly the same as that of normal humans, and would no longer have racial characteristics such as red eyes, sharp nails, and a lot of blue veins,
even if they did not eat flesh and blood, There is nothing wrong with eating only vegetarian food.
However, over time, in a certain generation when our village population reached its peak, the bloodthirsty urge that was inscribed in the bloodline returned – when the village was too populated and the forest alone Hunting on the edge, or raising livestock, can no longer meet the demand for meat,
so we can only take some special methods…” The
village chief paused, seeming to notice the expressions on the faces of the players, and hurriedly explained: “Everyone, please Rest assured, our ancestors have never attacked the brave, nor have we maliciously harmed any hero team.
We only occasionally asked the hero team to go to the underground palace to bring back some monster corpses when the trial was released,
or, uh, when the hero died. At that time, in the name of the special funeral ritual of the holy mountain, it was buried in the cemetery of the village – in fact, you know…” The
village chief rubbed his palms helplessly and embarrassingly, and the villagers guarding the village excused the funeral ritual. It’s really embarrassing to talk about the matter of eating the dead hero’s body,
but he can’t help it. Otherwise, the other party will not win his trust,
and his generation, or even the previous generation, has never seen a living hero. This kind of thing only exists in the word of mouth of the elders from generation to generation, and is regarded as the secret of the village.
It was only because the village was about to decline naturally, that Li Ang and others had to be informed.
“According to my father and grandfather’s estimates, the root cause of premature aging is the irreversible decline of blood vessels caused by long-term lack of blood food, and the additional reason may be the destruction of the gate of the Holy Mountain.
” Here, there are livestock such as chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep in our village.
However, even if the newborns in the village are allowed to eat the flesh and blood of livestock from an early age, the disease cannot be cured or even alleviated. This is why I say that progeria cannot be cured by conventional means. The category of miracles.
Sometimes I also wonder if our village lost its pure blood because of intermarriage with the outside world, and was abandoned by the holy mountain…”
“…”
Li Ang listened to the village chief’s speech quietly. Telling, rubbing the beard of the dragon head and thinking.
David thought for a while and asked, “Well…have you ever tried hunting monsters in the underground palace?
Maybe it’s because there is no extraordinary energy in the flesh and blood of livestock, so it will be ineffective after eating it.”
“This “…” The
village chief said with a wry smile, “We think so too, but you should have seen it, Lord Brave. The disease of premature aging has made our village lack of defense, and the extraordinary power in our blood has long been lost.
Even if we ignore the ancestral teachings, we plan to take the initiative to hunt the dungeons in the underground palace. Monsters,
we don’t have that strength anymore.”
“It’s equivalent to an endless loop?”
Amberi said casually: “No strength – no monster flesh and blood – progeria worsens – strength declines.
If we don’t come, then In a few years, will your village reach the point where an eight-year-old child looks like an eighty-year-old?” The
village chief smiled bitterly and said with a bleak expression, “It’s almost there. According to the general statistics, the more progeria in the village, the more It’s getting worse and worse.
The premature death of young people makes it impossible for us to accumulate knowledge and skills, and it is difficult to even preserve them.
It takes five years to cultivate a craftsman who can use and repair external props,
and it takes at least ten years to
cultivate a craftsman who can disassemble, imitate, manufacture, and study external props. Pilot, within a year or two, he became very old, and
sometimes even the next generation of apprentices passed away before they had time to train.
In a few years, no one may even understand and understand the documents in the library. ”
I’ve seen this kind of bloodline decline before.” ”
Hohenheim said slowly: “If a vampire with a low bloodline level lives in a low free energy area for a long time and does not receive blood food supplements, the skin will gradually become pale and wrinkled, the hair will fall out, thinking Slow and dull, gradually losing his mind, and finally degenerating into a monster of humanoid albino bats.
The same is true for werewolves. If they
don’t get supplemented by moonlight, they will become pure ignorant beasts.
Hmm…I would like to ask, has your village recorded any changes in free energy levels in history? ”
“What? The village chief was stunned for a moment, but did not understand.
Hohenheim explained patiently: “It is the intensity of the surrounding energy, whether it has changed over the decades, or has it been like this since thousands of years ago. ”
This…” The
village chief hesitated for a moment, then said, “I don’t know too well. When the shadow beast attacked fifty years ago, it destroyed many buildings in the village and killed many people. Some data is missing,
resulting in limited information I know.
After all, that’s what happened to my previous generation. ”
“Okay. ”
Hohenheim nodded regretfully. If the other party kept records, then he might be able to figure out why this area at the foot of the mountain was used as a low magic domain.
This is also normal, just like the ancient human civilization in history did not record the oxygen concentration in the world at that time,
in order to accurately detect the concentration of free energy in the air, it is necessary to use professional knowledge and equipment, and be able to recognize the nature of free energy .
Hohenheim thought for a while and asked again: “So, have you thought about leaving?
If you leave the forest, or even leave this island, and go to the outside world, maybe you can stop this bloodline decline, right?
” Leaving?” The
village chief had a strange expression on his face, he hesitated for a moment, and then said slowly: “Uh, even if leaving the holy mountain range, it will be considered an outrageous act, regarded as a shame, expelled from the village, and expelled from the family tree,
but for the sake of To continue the race, there will always be someone to try – some of our ancestors tried to leave the holy mountain island, or secretly left, or followed the brave team to the outside world,
but after they walked out of the forest, no one came back. The team of heroes has never brought back any information about our tribe.”
“Then you are trapped here waiting to die.”
Amberie smacked his mouth, “This is what the Holy Mountain gave you. Blessings, is it still a curse on you from the holy mountain?” The
village chief moved his lips, as if he wanted to refute Amberi’s slander against the holy mountain, but he swallowed the words again—thinking that he was in private, he would also Often confused and even questioned about this.
Li Ang slowly opened his eyes and nodded, “I have the general information.” The
village chief showed a worried expression on his face, “Then… do you have a solution?”
“I have to experiment first.”
Li Ang waved his hand, and instead of making a ticket, he asked the village chief to gather villagers of all ages, genders, and physical conditions in the village to gather in the town square.
Sample evidence, of course, the more the better.
Concerning the survival of the race, the village chief and the village guards quickly gathered hundreds of villagers to stand in the village square.
Li Ang got a wooden table from nowhere, with a red cloth on it.
He sat behind the table and asked the villagers to line up to receive his diagnosis.
More than ten minutes later, Li Ang completed a preliminary inspection of the villagers’ physical conditions. Instead of dismissing the villagers, he went to a secluded corner to discuss with the village chief and other companions.
“I see.”
Li Ang said, “The pre-senile disease that is prevalent in your village is indeed the irreversible decline of blood vessels caused by the long-term lack of blood food in the past.
The source of this blood food, to be precise, has the same appearance as yours. Yes , human.” The
village chief was stunned for a moment, “Ah this…”
“Nothing to be ashamed of, what about the food chain, killing and killing, eating and eating is normal. I’m not a witcher.”
Li Ang waved calmly He waved his hand and said casually, “This proves that you didn’t deceive us just now. You really haven’t eaten people for a long time. You have
even forgotten why you belong to a race that eats people.”
“Uh…” The
village chief Doubtful: “What do you mean?”
“Rabbit, horse, cow, sheep,
lion, tiger, cat, dog…”
Li Ang said calmly: “Herbivores eat grass, carnivores eat meat. It
doesn’t matter whether animals eat plants or animals . Meat eating, the essential purpose of eating, is to absorb enough energy and substances from the outside world to meet the needs of one’s own survival.
Vampires suck blood and ghouls eat corpses for the same reason – to survive.
But, seeing the essence through phenomena,
why can’t vampires live without sucking blood?
Why do ghouls become weak and weak if they don’t eat corpses?
Can any kid tell me? ”
Different schools of occultism have different explanations for the reasons why vampires vampire blood.”
Hohenheim didn’t care about Leon’s seemingly provocative words, thought about it, and said cautiously: “Some schools believe that vampires vampire for the purpose of To absorb the spiritual power from ordinary people’s bodies,
some schools believe that it is to immerse themselves in sinful karma to nourish their own blood energy;
some schools believe that it is influenced by the ancestors of the blood family – eating human blood from time to time, will Produces a soul-based withdrawal response.
Are we a clock tower…
After cooperation with the blood clan, through a series of scientifically rigorous experiments, we are more inclined to the last explanation…”
Seemingly noticing the strange eyes of other teammates, Hohenheim said calmly: “Actually I There are also blood races in the country where they are located (Britain in the real world).
Although they are not as powerful and fashionable as those described in literary and artistic works, there are also a few fairly sizable races.
In the past, because of the decline of spiritual energy, they had a very miserable life. They were protected by our clock tower as a rare animal to prevent the extinction of the native blood race in Great Britain. In
recent years, it has been slightly better.
As for the situation of the vampires outside the British mainland, I don’t know very much. ”
As a long-standing organization like the Special Affairs Bureau, the Bell Tower Mage Association has developed very well recently by digging out the wealth of the past, and
various new experimental projects have emerged one after another,
such as the artificial breeding of dragon eggs next to nuclear reactors. The red dragon factory plan ;
Unleashing epic magic on the battleship, giving it an independent mind and transforming into a human ability to rebuild the Royal Navy;
compared with these grand projects that determine the level of national destiny, the genome engineering exploration of the mere blood is really nothing – although London It was also a major birthplace of blood clans in the past,
but under the supervision of the Bell Tower and Puritanism, it has declined very much.
At present, most of the blood clans in the world still live in the European continent and the United States.
The others didn’t know what Hohenheim was thinking and turned to look at Li Ang.
He snapped his fingers and said with a smile, “Yes, vampires eat human blood in order to absorb blood and soul energy.
And ghouls, which are not as fashionable as the blood clan, have
a simple and simple reason for eating flesh and blood. Many – supplement the special substances they can’t produce by themselves. For
example, flora.”
“Bacteria?” The
village chief and other players were stunned, “What do you mean?”
“I wonder if you have ever raised hamsters.”
Li Ang After making a gesture, he said: “Hamsters are rodent pets that are fluffy, small and cute.
But they are actually ruthless dung machines. What
‘s more terrifying is that they not only poop, but also eat their own poop.
Hamsters The frequency of eating feces can reach more than 20 times a day, and guinea pigs may be as high as 200 times.
When they hold something to chew on, they can’t tell whether they are gnawing on the feed or gnawing on their own feces.
The reason, It is these rodents that do not have enzymes that can directly digest cellulose, and cannot absorb nutrients from plant stems and leaves through the tough cell walls.
This makes their efficiency of eating grass to obtain nutrients is very low, so they will swallow repeatedly. Shit, self-produced and self-sold.”
Everyone was stunned when they heard it.
Although Li Ang was wearing a faucet mask, for
some reason, his tone always gave everyone a sense of dazzling and happy when he was talking about shit.
“This kind of regular self-production and self-selling behavior, in addition to obtaining nutrients, is also to save their own flora.”
Li Ang said: “Take rabbits as an example, their body size determines that they cannot evolve a large rumen like a cow. To preserve enough microorganisms to help them digest the plant fiber they ingested.
So they evolved a very long cecum, in which the microorganisms are preserved to help digestion – of
course, relative to the size of the rabbit, the cecum is still It is not long enough to stay in the food for a long time to complete digestion. The caecal stool pulled out is soft and dense, and contains a lot of cecal microorganisms. The
rabbit swallows its own soft stool to re-digest the undigested fiber , is also to recover cecal microorganisms, otherwise, due to insufficient microorganisms, you will suffer from coccidiosis and other diseases…”
“Wait a minute,” the
village chief couldn’t help but interrupted, “It makes sense, but rabbits eat shit. , and what does it have to do with our ghouls?”
“It’s a big deal.”
Li Ang smiled and said faintly: “Ghouls eat people, not just because of the body, but because of the human body. thing.”
