Chapter 2: Night Talk
It didn't take long for the smell of meat wafting out of the boiling cave man's cauldron, and a few minotaurs who were watching the cauldron picked out a few pieces of ore containing salt from the wall, added a piece to each pot, and then quickly stirred the meat in the pot with a large shovel, and the whole cave was filled with the smell of meat.
The leader of Romon stood up, swept his eyes around the minotaur in the cave, and said to a minotaur next to him, "Go and call a few of them over in the stone ditch." "Shigou, the five of them are younger than stones, they are only four years old this year, and they sleep all day except playing, and they are probably sleeping at this time. When they came to Shigou, the leader of Romon announced that the meal had begun, and the most important dinner of the day for the Minotaur began.
The whole minotaur cave seems very large, and so many minotaurs gather together, it does not seem crowded at all; There are also tunnels in the cave, and there are many dense holes dug in the tunnels, which are where the minotaurs sleep. One of these tunnels is extraordinarily wide and sturdy, and there is even a wooden door, which is what needs to be guarded by the minotaursβββ altar.
These altars were created by the ancient gods, who created life through alchemy, and despite the vicissitudes of countless years, these altars still fulfill their mission. By sacrificing money and materials to the altar, heroes can recruit a corresponding number of troops from it each week, while for wild creatures, since they are not heroes, they can only expand their clan by sacrificing on certain days of the year.
For most of the high-level creatures (second order and above) in the Entagri continent, the altar was their only means of expanding their race; As for the low-level creatures (1st and 2nd order) in the Entagre Continent, because they are large enough in number, they have evolved the ability to reproduce without the need for an altar.
Stones, Yaya, and boulders were hatched together by the leader of Romon through sacrifice a few years ago, and unlike the heroes who directly recruited troops that could fight, wild creatures sacrificed to the altar, and what was sacrificed was only embryos.
By the time the stone finished eating, most of the minotaurs had already finished eating, some of the minotaurs had already gone back to rest (the minotaurs were not a diligent race in the first place), and some were still chatting in the cave. Stone stood up and turned and sat down beside the leader of Romon, while Yaya and Boulder had been sitting there listening intently to the story of the old days told by the chief of Romon, and beside him some young minotaurs; As for the older minotaurs, they generally don't listen, because the leader of Romon has said it many, many times. Stone listened to it a few times, and not only did he not feel bored, but he became more and more interested in the story told by the leader of Romon.
"Heroes are the most favored creatures of the Ancient Protoss, and all the creatures created by the Ancient Protoss in the Entagri Continent are in the service of heroes, they are recruited by heroes, and they are led into battle by heroes. But heroes are not made by ancient gods", Romon paused and swept his eyes around, this time Romon really aroused the interest of all the Minotaurs.
"Heroes weren't made by the ancient gods?"
"Romon why haven't I heard you say it?"
"Leader Romon, aren't heroes the favorite of the ancient gods?"
A smug smile appeared on the face of the leader of Luo Meng, "Actually, the hero is indeed not made by the ancient gods, the ancient gods originally planned to lead the created creatures to fight by themselves, but later found that the creatures created could actually replace them after evolving into heroes, so the heroes became the darlings of the ancient gods." Later, for unknown reasons, the Ancient Protoss died out, but the hero benefited from the Ancient Protoss and became the de facto ruler of the Ntagri Continent. β
The leader of Romon was very happy, it had been a long time since so many minotaurs had listened carefully to his story, and continued: "Heroes are the ultimate state of the advancement of creatures made by the Protoss; In other words, theoretically, all creatures can progress to heroes. β
"No way, if we can all advance to heroes, then heroes are still dissatisfied." A minotaur shouted.
Leader Romon smiled and said, "I'm just saying that theoretically, the actual situation is that the process of advancing to a hero is quite difficult, as we see now, there are very few heroes. β
"Look at our minotaurs, we need to advance to become the minotaur elite, and then advance to the minotaur king, and then advance to the minotaur king elite, and then have the possibility of advancing to become a hero, look, how difficult it is!" Luo Meng suddenly sighed.
"Leader Romon, how can we evolve faster? I want to be a hero, I want to travel the whole world. Stone immediately asked his most important question.
Yaya and Juyan also looked at Leader Romon with a very eager look.
Chief Romon thought for a moment, and then said; "Exercise, fighting, food, these are all evolutionary factors; Exercise and fight, you all know, food, that is, the more advanced the creature is eaten by us, the easier it is to promote our advancement, haha, if you eat the meat of the black dragon, it is estimated that you will be able to advance to the elite immediately. β
"Cut, you still need to say it."
"Nonsense."
The leader of Romon ignored these nonsense minotaurs, thought for a moment, and said, "Of course, talent is also very important. β
Stone tilted his head and thought for a moment, "Exercise, fighting, food, and talent, remember." Then he asked Leader Romon suspiciously, "Leader Romong, how are our talents?" β
The leader of Romon looked at the three of them, Stone, Yaya, and Boulder, hesitated, and said, "Come with me." "Chief Romon went to the passage leading to the altar, pushed open the dusty door, and went in; The three of them hurriedly followed, and a dozen minotaurs who watched the excitement were followed one after another.
Although the stone here has been here many times, this altar always gives people a sense of shock. The altar is a U-shaped building, with a front width of about 4 meters and a length of about 3 meters on the left and right, surrounded by four colonnades, under which is a pedestal about 3 meters high. The pedestal is engraved with reliefs, and the content of the relief belt is to show the battle between the ancient gods and giants, symbolizing the victory of the ancient gods, and it is full of powerful images and fierce tense atmosphere.
The leader of Romon walked to the altar, bowed slightly, then turned back to the stone and said to the three of them, "Come here, put your hands on the altar." β
The stone was confused for a moment, then obediently placed his hand on the altar. As soon as the stone's hand touched the altar, something shocked him to happen, and a picture suddenly appeared in front of the stone's eyes from the void. The stone calmed down after a half-rattle, and he stretched out his hand and carefully touched the picture, but the hand passed through the picture without hindrance. "That's amazing, isn't it?" The stone muttered, retracting his gaze to see the contents of the picture.

The stone raised up, and turned his head to see Yaya and Juyan were still stunned, "This ancient god clan is really great!" The stone muttered silently in his heart.
The leader of Luo Meng also seemed to be a little excited suddenly, "How about the attributes?" His voice trembled.
The stone hurriedly leaned sideways so that everyone could see his attributes. I don't know if it's the illusion of the stone, the stone always faintly felt that the leader of Romon showed a trace of disappointment when he looked at his attributes.
The stone tilted its head to see the boulder and the Yaya's attributes.

"It's okay."
"Not bad."
"It's a pity that there are no outstanding ones!"
"Barely enough."
"Excuse me, it's much better than you were then!"
"I wish you weren't the same!"
"I remember when you were a child, your strength seemed to be only 27, which was far worse than a stone......"
"Cut, you seem to be lower than me......"
The minotaurs commented on each other, but the stone couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it, the minotaurs were really a race that wanted to save face.
The leader of Romon ignored these minotaurs who were about to quarrel, and said to the three of them with a smile: "Yes, yes, it seems that the three of you can follow the giant peak to hunt in the future." β
"Really?" The stone is full of surprises, the minotaur is the most warlike creature in the dungeon, the stone and the three of them have long hoped to follow Uncle Jufeng out hunting, but the leader of Luo Meng is afraid that something will happen to them, so he has not let them follow, and now he actually promised to let them go out hunting, how can they not be excited.
The stone suddenly put behind the reluctant laugh of the leader of Romon just now, "I'll go and pack up the things I hunt tomorrow", and the stone was like a caged bird being released from the cage and galloped away. "I'll go too", "I'll go too", these are the other two birds.
Axes and armor, that's what the stone needs to prepare. The level of forging of the Minotaur is really a bit of a bias, and it is limited to forging axes and armor. The place where the minotaurs forge their axes and armor is deep in the labyrinth, not far from the entrance to the minotaurs' caves.
It's strange that the axes and armor of the minotaurs are all made by themselves, and it seems that all the minotaurs have no objection to this, maybe the axes and armor they create themselves can be more suitable for their hearts.
Stone armor has been crafted for a while, but it has never been worn, and the Minotaurs generally don't take it off again after putting it on, unless they advance and build a better one. If they succeed in advancing to the Minotaur King, they will forge themselves a magnificent and sturdy full-body armor.
Minotaur axes are generally heavy, which allows the Minotaur to fully exert his strength. Minotaurs generally carry their axes with them and do not put them down until they are eating or sleeping.
Stone puts on the armor and picks up his axe, and it feels like I'm fighting with my mates, which is really nice.
"How's that, what's going on, girl, am I handsome?" Boulder got dressed and dangled around Yaya.
"Yaya, you're so beautiful." The stone looked at the girl and couldn't help but say. (What a heavy taste!) οΌ
"Yes, girl, you're so beautiful." The boulder was extremely annoyed all of a sudden, and patronized himself to show off, but was preempted by the stone.
The three little bullaurs made a fuss in front of the cave, running, and jumping, which frightened the fluorescent plants in the ground, and flickered even harder.
"It's so carefree!" The leader of Romon stood at the mouth of the cave and looked at them.
"Disappointed?" It was the giant peak who spoke.
"It's a little bit, it always feels like they're a lot better than we used to be."
Jufeng smiled dumbly, "They're not adults yet." I feel that they are much stronger than my attributes at the time, especially the stone, his wisdom attribute value is very high. β
"Yes, maybe it's because you're still too young, but do you have the potential to advance?" Chief Romon sighed.
"Nope." Kyoho sighed as well.
"Tomorrow you go out hunting, you have to take care of them." Leader Romon looked at the three little minotaurs who were running, and turned to the giant peak.
"Hmmm......"
