Chapter 217: Natural Selection for the Survival of the Fittest
Located northwest of Source City, Sain City is one of the six cities in County Farne, which was originally just a poor and backward city.
But with the advent of the steam engine, steam locomotives, trains, and ships all need to use a very important energy source, that is, coal, and the plain north of the city of Seon contains a huge coal field, which makes the whole city rich in an instant, and all the lords are investing in the coal industry and earning a huge fortune!
It's a pity that this world can't compare to Shui Lanxing, the efficiency of mining is too low, mining disasters occur almost every day, and I don't know how many people die in the mines.
But the lords didn't care about the lives of ordinary people, and drove them to work harder for the sake of profit, so they set up a private army to supervise the mining.
What was even more terrifying was that a severe locust plague swept through a large area of farmland to the east of the north of the city of Sain, and in an instant, the harvest was lost, and the famine came.
Under these circumstances, the nobles such as the Earl Williams, who ruled the city, did not want to buy grain from outside to survive the famine, but took the opportunity to store grain and exchange it for grain in exchange for grain in the mines.
In other words, if ordinary people want to buy food, they can only get it by working for them.
However, the mining casualty rate is too high, coupled with the fact that it is a hard work, so that the vast majority of people have begun to flee and become homeless, which is also the reason why there will be so many homeless people in Shanjin Town before.
Now, with the rule of the Charr, most of the original nobility has been abolished by him, mining has basically been replaced by bugs or barbarians, and ordinary people are engaged in easier work......
Woooooo
The train entered the station with black smoke, and a group of four people stepped out of the first-class car located at the front of the train, and the powerful aura emitted attracted the attention of many people.
The so-called breath is actually the condensation of the essence and spirit, thus forming an illusory energy force field that radiates the surroundings, making others feel fatal crisis or awe.
The best example of this is the dragon's dragon might, which can make creatures with low strength submit instantly.
"Hee-hee, Sister Yura, you've attracted a lot of attention." Tracey looked at her with some envy, the other party had a hot and seductive figure with a convex and backward curve, but there was a flat horse in front of her, which was quite pitiful.
Yura didn't care about this, and said with a faint smile: "Let's go quickly, it's best to find a place where you can spend the night before dark." ”
"It's been arranged." Cuton said calmly.
Afterwards, the group rode a few black oxen and tall horses into the wilderness, following the safe route set by the other adventurers.
After leaving the city of Sain, the people walked in the wilderness, but fortunately there were no dense vegetation to block the road due to the heavy pollution of the coal industry.
Because of the rise of the coal industry, the city of Saine has become a standard fog capital, and the sky is shrouded in a thick fog that lingers all year round, making people smell bad habits and make their noses uncomfortable. As a result, the yield of crops in the surrounding area is getting lower and lower, and it is difficult for farmers to rely on farming to make a living.
However, with the great changes in the world, all kinds of plants still stubbornly drill out, wantonly crowding out human territory, and the air quality has begun to improve rapidly.
Twenty kilometers after leaving the city of Sain, it was already considered the range of wild monster activities, and it was easy to be attacked by all kinds of attacks, and they stared at the surroundings vigilantly all the way.
"Based on the analysis of the information I have gotten, those humanoids should be located in a valley in the western mountain range, and there should be a river in it." Jura said as she rode her horse.
"The danger level here is not high, we only need to be careful of some special man-eating plants, and some poisonous snakes and poisonous insects, and our strength can easily break through."
"That's true, after completing this task, you can have a good rest, so many days of continuous adventure are indeed a bit unbearable." Ketton nodded in response, and the other two smiled.
The rewards for discovering all kinds of new species are high, especially some special mutated creatures, and the rewards are even more covetous.
Now, their target is precisely that group of humanoid creatures, which are estimated to have evolved by mutation such as monkeys, and have extremely high research value.
An hour later, they saw in the distance a flock of gray mutant antelopes in front of them, bowing their heads and eating.
The original antelope was more than one meter long and about one meter high, and it was very timid and fearful.
But now, the antelopes are bigger than the bison, and most importantly, they don't eat grass, they eat meat!
A giant python more than ten meters long was killed by them by some means, and it was gnawing there, and the bloody scene was particularly terrifying.
At this moment, from the bushes not far away, a huge yellow figure suddenly appeared, pressing one paw on the back of an antelope, directly smashing its bones and killing it with one blow!
The beast rushed furiously at the other antelopes, allowing them to resist desperately, but they were still stunned by a slap and a slap.
The antelopes broke down and fled in all directions, and the beast began to enjoy the feast in peace.
This is a giant tiger seven or eight meters long, one leg is thicker than the waist of several people, and the mouth of the blood plate is large enough to eat half a person in one bite.
Keton signaled, and several people quietly began to retreat, and the original small idea suddenly dissipated.
They could see that the strength of this giant beast seemed to be even stronger than that of Yura, the strongest second-level source energy warrior in the team.
It would be unwise to be an enemy of such a beast.
However, several people have uploaded the information of the giant beast to the magic net, and received dozens of source points in reward, if you want to get more, you need to observe each other closely, and upload their living habits and so on, if you upload their strength, physique and other data, you will get more source points - their strength is obviously not enough to do this.
"They're getting stronger again, and the data submitted three days ago, they're a little smaller than that, and it doesn't indicate that these antelopes have started eating meat as well......," Keton said, with deep concern in his eyes.
Tracy was a little unimpressed: "Uncle, what are you afraid of, anyway, we evolve faster than them." ”
"Rest assured, our Source Energy Warriors have evolved stronger. Just like the saying circulating on the magic network, natural selection, survival of the fittest. The whole world is constantly evolving, and if you want to survive, if you want to live well, you must ensure that you are stronger than they evolved! ”
Yura's expression was full of fighting spirit, but she shook her head a little helplessly, "I just used the second-level source medicine, and I haven't completely controlled this strength yet. Give me a little more time, and a good weapon, and that beast isn't my match!" ”
