The breath of light scurried away, borrowing the light of the moon from faraway lands.

The bright moonlight is like the clear eyes of Wangshu (Note 1), and through the loneliness is the universe casting a long-term glimpse into the earthly world. A silver glow wrapped around the blade of the sword, resembling an arrow fired by Artemis (Note 2).

Rhubarb flapped its wings and attracted a mighty long wind, and the wind pressure rolled like a roar of steel!

The bright moon collided with the long wind, and the overflowing streamer seemed to open a lotus flower. The silver essentia spreads out in a ring like a band of light wrapped around a planet.

The mighty long wind shattered in front of the falling bright moon, and Rhubarb's huge body fell from the sky like a meteor. Silver flames spread all over its body, flickering flames like hideous fangs.

Rhubarb fell to the ground and smashed through a series of houses. A deep pit appeared in the ground, and a cloud of smoke and dust rolled up.

Qianzhou turned over lightly and landed firmly on the ground, and the fragment in his hand pulled a beautiful sword flower.

"Quite a beautiful combo, impeccable in terms of awareness and skill. Among the [Dragon Gate] rank transcendents I have seen, you are also among the most outstanding. Even with only one head on the ground, Ignis generously expressed his praise for the Thousand Boats.

However, Qianzhou did not buy Ignis's praise: "Needless to say, the beautiful scene is not to be said. ”

"No, no, no, I mean it. Ignis shook his head, "It's just that creatures like [Fantasy Species] are not so easy to deal with, let alone ......"

Ignis said meaningfully, but stopped at the crucial moment.

The incomprehensible smile on Ignis's face made Chishu feel the urge to punch him in the face - and in fact Chishu did.

A fist-sized rock was kicked in Ignis by a thousand boats.

", you don't hit people in the face!"

Don't ask, if you ask, you're drinking too much.

Qianzhou made excuses for his atrocities in his heart.

Looking at the blue marks on Ignis's face, Qianzhou, who let out a vicious breath, felt much more relaxed.

Ignis wasn't angry, but it made him feel less guilty. Not everyone can insist on what they think is right, and in this regard, Ignis has a little admiration and envy for Qianzhou.

"Be careful. Ignis kindly reminded.

The smoke and dust had dissipated, and in the hazy night, Rhubarb's figure reappeared in front of Qianzhou.

The brass feathers that covered his body had all faded, replaced by dark scales. The scales extend from rhubarb's limbs to the wings, and the seams between them leave little gap.

No, where are these scales? These are clearly the sturdy armor forged to deal with the blade of the Thousand Boats!

Compared to the body, Rhubarb's head has undergone more obvious changes.

The bird's beak is gone, replaced by a liger's mouth, which is generally more adept at biting. Between the opening and closing, you can see the sharp and strong teeth like serrations!

In addition to the scales, a thick stratum corneum grows on the forehead. Directly above his head, where the wound had been cut by the fragment, a long, sharp horn sprung up straight into the sky.

Even the rhubarb is a full circle of size, with well-defined muscles and beautiful lines that seem to be cast from steel.

This new beast is imbued with a violent beauty all over its body. More like a horror machine designed for combat than a naturally evolved creature, with the sole purpose of tearing apart all enemies in front of it.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Qianzhou wouldn't have believed that this was the same beast as just now!

"Actually, I thought it was a griffin at first. But later I found out that it was a [Chimera]. Ignis spoke.

The Chimera usually appears as a Warcraft in mythology everywhere.

In the story, the image of the Chimera is generally a combination of a lion, a goat, and a snake.

The front half of the Chimera is a lion, with a head capable of spitting flames from its mouth and the claws of a lion on its forelimbs – a sign of its "strength" characteristic.

The back half of the body is a goat, and some have a goat's head - the sheep has evil eyes and giant horns, and the attributes of the sheep represent its "wisdom" characteristics;

The hind limbs have hooves, symbolizing "agility".

The tail is connected to the snake, not the tail but the body of the snake, with fangs and poisonous mist, and can also strangle prey—the part of the snake represents the "cunning" characteristic.

In fact, such an image is just one of many that circulate in the Chimera.

In some stories, the Chimera has two songs, or even three songs. The image of the head and body also varies.

The Chimera is not what many people think, it is a patchwork of the bodies of several beasts.

In the book "[Fantasy Species] Research", there is a detailed introduction to the Chimera:

"The Chimera doesn't actually have a specific image, in other words, all the images of the Chimera are acquired.

The Chimera is not reproductively isolated from almost all of the Fantasy Species, and the Chimera has never had the habit of raising offspring.

Chimera juveniles will determine their physical characteristics based on the environment in which they are born, and if they are born with other Fantasy Species, they will exhibit the appearance of other Fantasy Species.

As the Chimera grows, they will constantly adjust their body structure according to their own needs and gain the abilities they need—it's like fast-forwarding countless times of evolution.

I had the pleasure of seeing a battle in a Chimera, and if I wanted to describe it, it would be "when it encounters the sea, it grows parotid glands, when it is afraid of flames, it grows and scaly armor, and if it can't resist the front, it grows poisonous fangs".

This ability to constantly evolve itself is simply made for battle!"

Looking at the rhubarb in front of him, Qianzhou couldn't help but clench the fragment.

"Chimera, even so, I'll break your scale armor again!"

Note 1: Wangshu is also known as Mingshu, Sushu, and Yuanshu. In Chinese mythology and legend, he is the god of the moon driver, which can also refer to the moon.

Note 2: Artemis, the god of the moon in Greek mythology, daughter of Zeus and Leto, one of the twelve main gods of Olympus. Or Apollo's twin sister,.

In fact, the main orthodox moon goddess in Greek mythology is Selene, who is derived from the ancient Greek worship of the celestial moon.

But in late classical times, authority over the moon was transferred to Artemis. Maybe it's because she's more famous in mythology?

After that, Artemis became widely known as the god of the moon.
