Forty Millenniums of Cultivation
Chapter 2359: Hate in the Dark
Of course, the subject of the so-called "wildlings" has been on the same path for the past tens of thousands of years, in the great dark age of demonic rule, people who could not stand demonic rule and fled deep beneath the ground, and demonic people who fled beneath the ground when demonic rule collapsed.
This is because, in the region where the crust and mantle intersect, the environment is so harsh that not only is respirable oxygen a lethal problem, but the temperature is so high that humans in general are simply unable to adapt to wild environments without air circulation systems and cooling arrays, and soon after entering the wild, they are extinct.
Demons, as well as the "Great Dark Ages” ruled by demons, have their own unique advantages.
Li Yao now knows that the so-called "demonic race” and “human race" are essentially the same thing, “30,000 years of great darkness", in fact, human cruel oppression and domination of humankind.
However, it was an era of highly developed biochemical technologies, where research into the release of genetic forces reached peak creation.
In order to tap into underground mineral veins and exploit geothermal energy, many humans are forced to undergo genetic modulation and become monstrous reptiles with minimal oxygen consumption and extreme drought and temperature resistance.
Genetically modulated humans, equivalent to tearing apart the "genetic locks” in the body, are much more likely to produce genetic mutations in future generations than ordinary humans, generations of “humans” or “demons” fleeing underground, their offspring under the latent silencing of harsh environments, further mutations, less and less oxygen consumption, more and more drought resistant and high temperatures, even on some mutants, appearing on the skin to grow a fine layer of plants, plants devouring carbon dioxide, exhaling oxygen, exhaling oxygen, and exhaling carbon dioxide, such a wonderful relationship.
At first glance, such demons are like flowers and grasses, but in fact, they are just poor people who are forced to migrate to such harsh environments.
As a result, it is extremely difficult for humans in the 10084 region who descended underground during the time of the Star Sea Empire to adapt to a deeper life out of shelter and human civilization, but those people and demons born in the Great Dark Age, their very few descendants, can still live in the dark in the form of "wildlings”.
Apart from wildlings, there are spiritual beasts, demonic beasts, and spiritual and demonized plants - whether demonic emperors and demonic gods in the Great Dark Ages, or all civilizations after the Star Sea Empire - that want to pioneer the ground without exception, in addition to the construction of shelters and propagation bases in the underground, are genetically modulated and radiation mutated methods to cultivate countless creatures adapted to the hypoxic, dark and high temperature environments of the underground.
They tried to replicate the entire ecosystem on the ground underground, so that they could expand their living space more than a hundred times, but 99 per cent of underground biological experiments failed, and the cultivated spiritual beasts, demonic beasts, spiritual plants, demonized plants, at best, adapted only to the artificial environment in shelters and propagation bases, like rock worms, could only live to die in environmentally comfortable laboratories.
However, after a number of shelters and underground towns were destroyed by earthquakes and lava eruptions, 1% of the experimental creatures escaped, struggling and fortunate enough to survive and become wild demonic beasts and demonized plants!
These demonic beasts and rock worms are like wild boars and pigs, or wolves or dogs.
Li Jialing told Li Yao that wildlings and demonic beasts, although ferocious, would not easily attack such established towns as District 10084, because although the shelter system here has collapsed, at least some defensive formations have not completely failed, and the people here have exchanged a lot of rock worms and higher residents for a number of powerful offensive treasures. If the wildlings do not lean into the nest and fight to die, they are unlikely to swallow a town at once.
Moreover, there are also contradictions between the wildlings and the wildlings, divided into different ethnic groups and tribes, and hatred among them extends for more than 10,000 years. Most of the time, the wildlings and the wildlings kill each other. Instead, they do not commit river water with the inhabitants of District 10084.
Li Yao asked Li Jialing what hatred there was between the wildlings?
Li Jialing replied that the wildlings gradually evolved into different tribes according to the source and deep underground age. The wildlings of this tribe were oppressed human beings who came underground in 30,000 years of great darkness. But the wildlings of that tribe were defeated to the deserted demonic power when the Star Sea Empire rose. Weren't there natural hatred between the two tribes?
When the two tribes were losing their heads and blood, the Star Sea Empire on the ground collapsed again, and a large number of people who had just sprouted the minds of the cultivators fled to the ground. Although most of them remained in shelters, very few wanted to use the power of the wildlings to thrive, so that the fire was fuelled, making this endless dark war more chaotic and cruel.
Even with the passage of time, the extinction of civilization, and the glow of most civilizations falling from the depths of their minds, the stigma of hatred has been passed down from generation to generation, and even these wildling tribes themselves do not know why they want to kill with hostile tribes, which has become an instinct engraved on their genetic chain.
Li Jialing told Li Yao that three wildlife tribes, known as “Black Armor”, “Night Wing” and “Red Ring”, were stuck in the wild death area near the town of 10084.
The Black Army, by definition, possesses an extremely strong black shell, which not only possesses a very strong defense, but also, more importantly, its structure, like a very special solar panel, is capable of storing high temperatures in the ground, transforming them into a part of the energy necessary for survival, greatly reducing the Black Army's demand for food, and reducing unnecessary feeding and hunting behavior to its limits, greatly enhancing its viability.
The Night Wings have a wide pair of skin membrane wings - rugged in caves and narrow spaces beneath which, naturally, are not used to fly or glide, but to wrap the entire child of the Night Wings and turn them into a giant cold, icy pupa that, on the one hand, locks in the loss of body temperature and moisture and, on the other hand, prevents other underground hunters from spying on their existence through infrared perception.
Many residents of District 10084 believe that after wrapping themselves in the skin film wings, the Night Wings will turn into a cold, icy stalagmite, able to go into a special hibernation for years without eating or drinking - which is, of course, somewhat overstated, but also visible in the survival of the Night Wings.
The Red Ring Man is the worst hunter in the area.
The geniuses of the Black Army and the Night Wings are both defensive, while the genetic mutations of the Red Ring tend to attack.
They have an extremely sensitive pair of infrared red eyes, and have evolved ultrasound detection organs similar to bats, both of which allow them to perceive everything around them without the darkness of half a dot of light.
With powerful hunting power, the Red Ring has been pressing the Night Wings for thousands of years, and even the skin membrane organs of the Night Wings have most likely evolved to escape the Red Rings' spying.
It was not until the Black Army moved here from elsewhere and fought the Red Ring with the Night Wings that the wars of the Wildlings' tribes returned to parity - only the roughest argument, the specifics of which, naturally, were neither known nor interested by outsiders.
However, the recent increasing frequency of earthquakes in the vicinity of the 10084 area appears to have destroyed the habitat of a number of demonic beasts and demonized plants, which are the main hunting and gathering targets of the wildling tribes, the bulk of the food sources being destroyed and the contradictions between the wildling tribes sharply sharpened.
Such contradictions would evolve into two possibilities if they were not resolved in a timely manner.
On the optimistic side, the three wildling tribes of Black Armor, Night Wings and Red Ring will be exterminated by three defeats in a fierce battle.
But it is also possible that, if none of the three tribes had a source of food, they might temporarily endure deep genetic hatred, join forces and attack the nearest 10,084 towns - after all, the humming noise of thousands of fat rock worms could go down the gap and all the way down to the depths of the ground.
It was against this backdrop that Longyang King took some compressed food to the three wildling tribes of Black Armor, Night Wings and Red Ring, and traveled with her to a number of worry-free people - in addition to the 10,084 townships, there were many more than four followers of towns and even higher places.
In the philosophy of worry-free religion, all humankind is brothers and sisters, no matter what class they live in, or even the barbarity of the ground without a number, worthy of help and salvation.
Li Yiu frowned and after listening to Li Jialing's introduction, he wanted to join him in pursuit of Longyang King's coordinates and deepen into the wildling tribe.
He suddenly changed his mind when he walked past the “Big Tree in the Heaven" in the center of 10084 again.
“Wait a minute. ”
Li Yao Dao, "Tell me where the air circulation system in the 10084 area and the core pharmacopoeia unit of the cooling array are. Show me. ”
Not surprisingly, Li Yao, the air circulation system and the core pharmacopoeia unit of the cooling array are all beneath this “Sunset Tree”, which is the main control crystal brain.
Both of these things are the roots of the underground people's lives, and once damaged, they are either bored to death by lack of oxygen or by extremely high temperatures.
But the underground people did not know whether it was out of fear of the "fairy fixer” or out of absolute trust in the "worried heavenly girl”, believing that the noble guests of the worried heavenly girl would definitely not harm them, no one dared to stop their inquiry, just to shrink their necks and look around in the distance.
The surrounding young people also face suspicion, confusion and tension, while the adults and the elderly face only the same calm and silence that prevails.
Air filtration and circulation treasure is one of the essential foundational treasures of star sea navigation. It is found on every starship, and the road can be overwhelmed.
Besides, Li Yao is a small prince of ventilation pipelines. There is a deep study of ventilation pipelines and air circulation systems in various forms and structures. Naturally, there is no possibility of failure.
Running cloud water unveiled the enclosure of the Pharmacopoeia unit, the carbon dioxide sieve inside, the filter and the pure oxygen generator, but gave Li Yao a slight expression.
