Chapter 264: The Essence of the Ghost Clan
Walking through the streets of this foreign tribe, looking at the scenery completely different from the big city, Zheng Li fell into deep thought.
In the past, the ghosts were the kind of bloodthirsty beasts that suddenly opened the portal, cracked in the space, and swarmed out...... On that day, the community of little evil ghosts controlled by the blue swamp was undoubtedly a typical example of this.
But in fact, in many people's minds, the Blue Swamp itself is a demonized swamp, and it is also a mutated and powerful ghost clan.
Strong, bloodthirsty, and devouring everything in front of them, they are the ghosts that give people the feeling of bloodthirsty beasts.
But looking at the various bionic facilities on the street, and obviously walking in another biochemical city on the technology tree, Zheng Li had an understanding.
Perhaps, most human beings only see what is in front of them and associate it with their own 'common sense', and they will ignore the essence behind it.
"Oni is cancer cells, a kind of evolutionary and alienated infectious virus that can turn normal cells into ghost-like cells, resulting in the whole body "cancerous (ghostization)". ”
Before coming in, many people still couldn't understand the concept of "popularization" popularized by Dr. Snake to the Peace War Corps, but Zheng Li was asking.
"The so-called ghostization is just that the cells of life are eroded by the cells of ghosts, gradually rewritten into its appearance, and finally the overall tendency of the individual is transformed?"
“....... Although there is a big gap from the truth, you can understand it this way. And this erosion can even include inorganic matter, at a higher level, there is no essential difference between inorganic matter and organic matter, it is a collection of specialized small molecules and small cells, as long as the basic architecture is rewritten....."
has been simplified and popularized as much as possible, Dr. Snake said a lot, Zheng Li still didn't understand it at first, and then he didn't understand it.
But he also knows that he doesn't need to know everything, as long as he grasps the key points and knows how to use and control them.
Now he was wearing a perfume, which was a product of the metabolism of ghost cells, a man-made refinement made by Dr. Snake, yes
With it, Zheng Li looked like a complete ghost clan in every way...... It looks like it and it smells like it! And this, the feeling of the ghost clan is even more than what is seen.
On the belt behind his waist, there were several bottles of syringe elixir, which were special ghost suppressants.
There is a large amount of anti-ghost cell solvent in it to prevent large-scale ghost mutation of cells in the body....... Dr. Snake made it clear that especially after eating and before going to bed, it is best to give yourself an injection, he is not yet a quasi-myth that can completely control the body, and the ghost town is not a place where normal humans should be.
She even said bluntly that if Zheng Li didn't have certain mythological characteristics, his ability to transform into ghosts would have been out of control a long time ago, and maybe he had irreversibly turned into a ghost subhuman, and this kind of transformation ability was not what a rookie should have.
“....... What is your conversion level? Actually, I don't know, I don't even know my rank, it's quite subtle......."
Just like the sword master of the human race, there are only ordinary, quasi-mythical, and mythological classifications...... Because this is fundamentally an evolutionary mark, a degree of evolution, not a division of certain classes.
Originally, the degree of evolution of biological species cannot be divided by one, two, three, and four, and the quasi-myth of hanging myths has long been not news, when every life has chosen its own path of evolution, combat power and degree of evolution are not the same thing.
"In a sense, the ghost race is quite similar to humans, except that we have started the evolution process of the soul, and they have used the ghost cells to open the path of evolution of each body. So, what we admit is inside, and they just need to be ghosts in the flesh. ”
There are many branches of human beings, but as long as they consider themselves to be humans, they will be recognized and included by the four spirits...... In the current human group consciousness, it never matters how you look on the outside, what matters is what you are inside.
The Oni Clan also has many branches...... However, the internal evolutionary competition between different species infected with the same disease has never stopped, and each branch can be completely different according to the difference in source and evolutionary direction.
And the virus nature of the ghost race will make it try to infect and assimilate every other species, undoubtedly making it the enemy of life, and there will never be peace inside.
At that time, Zheng Li didn't know much about it, but looking at the living buildings and living vehicles, there were so many pedestrians on the road that none of them were the same....... He really got it.
Lin Yuying really didn't know what level of the ghost clan she was, because strictly speaking, the ghost clan had no rank, they were only strong and weak...... The strong devour the weak, absorb their nutrients, learn from their evolutionary trajectory, and go further on their own evolutionary path.
"Aimo, Deborah, Sata, and Wen, the four transliterated names, represent the four stages of a ghost race's evolution. Infected (ghost soldiers, including but not limited to ghosts, ordinary ghosts), mature (ghosts), evolved (ghost generals), and the top of the group (independent individual ghost kings). ”
Lin Yuying was a little hesitant in her words, she did consult a lot of relevant information, the physical structure of the spirit race is basically bionic, which race is the focus on....... There is no doubt that he is a ghost clan, but at what level, no one can give an accurate comment.
"Before me, I should be regarded as the lowest-level Aimo (ghost soldier)....... This has nothing to do with strength or weakness, I have heard that the characteristic of being a ghost pawn is only, that is, having perfect horns, just like the changing teeth of an adult. ”
Oni generally have horns, claws, and fangs, which is actually quite easy to understand, but the original native species had these characteristics.
The minions, horns and teeth are the sharpest and hardest part of the organism, the most common natural weapon of living beings, and the most likely killer weapon on the evolutionary path, which is written into the mutated DNA as a dominant feature....... In fact, even ancient Mercury, docile rats and pigs had evolutionary branches that grew horns.
With the deduction of evolution, the antlers and horns-like ghost horns that were originally used to collide are rarely used to hit people, and they have become more of a status symbol........ Lin Yuying's broken horn was not broken by someone, even if it was broken, it should have grown a long time ago.
This is her incomplete performance, back then, she was probably really the lowest-level Aimo (ghost soldier).
And in order for her to evolve, she also had to replenish a large number of ghost cells and ghost horns, and eating high-quality little devil horns at that time greatly enhanced her heritage.
But now she's ......
"Now I, not only am the ghost horns perfect, I have mastered the blood energy and the law of time, but I also have the dual body of the blood ghost and the big ghost, and I should also be on the edge of the ghost general. The evolved body (ghost general) has a special ability similar to quasi-mythology and mythology, which I shouldn't have right now, and the degree of evolution should not be comparable to the master here. ”
Zheng Li nodded and did not ask, which also indirectly answered his doubts.
A complete and stable body and complete horns are the characteristics of a ghost pawn, and he should be considered a ghost pawn himself.
It's just that this thing has little to do with strength and weakness, and the weak ghost pawn was still kneeling to himself and begging for mercy some time ago, and the strong one owned the huge city in front of him.
In the same way, there is also a huge gap and gap between ghost soldiers and ghost soldiers (ghost clan masters and ghost slaves), between ghost generals, and even between ghost kings.
What those ghosts and low-level ghost clans are afraid of is not their own class at all, but their crushing strength on the life force field as an independent evolved life.
Every ghost clan is a link in the chain of ghost creatures, and when they sense that the big ghost in front of them can swallow themselves at any time, how can they not be afraid.
But in fact, the high-level ghosts that have evolved to a certain level have no desire for the low-level ghosts...... It's just supplementing with meat, and it doesn't help in evolutionary terms.
"The ghosts here are all quite weak, and they may all be exiled, after all, this old archipelago is only an inconspicuous border place in the entire demon space. Hopefully that deer king will be interesting. ”
"Is the pseudo-ghost the deer king...... He must have a pair of very collectible beautiful horns. Yusakura, are you interested? ”
"Well, even if you can't satisfy me, you can grind it into powder for Xiaoxiao Wing's body, she is still in the growth period."
“....... I'm really going to eat it. ”
For the first time, Zheng Li felt that humans were more powerful than the ghost race, and the spirit blade system not only copied the power of the ghost race, but also reproduced its evolutionary path...... Perhaps, being able to constantly simulate and absorb the superior characteristics of the opponent, and use the way of others to govern others, is the reason why the Four Spirits system has evolved to this day.
