Chapter 1288: Seeking the North (2)
The appearance of Guan Jue was actually an accident. Now except for Zhu He and An Xiaoyu, I am afraid that no one knows at all that the plan to burn Lushan is actually from Guan Jue's hand. Long before the start of the first battle in Lushan, Guan Jue had already been transferred from the Eastern Wilderness to the Western Wilderness, An Xiaoyu's idea.
At that time, because An Xiaoyu had already expected that the best result of her battle with Hong Lingxian would definitely cause her to disappear for a while, she called Guan Jue over. Unexpectedly, Guan Jue really became the turning point of the entire battle situation.
Therefore, this time's plan is also operated by Guan Jue himself, but Guan Jue's identity was not told to these accompanying soldiers, but only that he was a wartime staff officer, and everything had to be arranged by Guan Jue when he went out. After all, the chief of the general staff of the Eastern Wilderness Army came to the west to do things, and it didn't sound good to say.
Guan Jue looked at the scenery outside the car window that began to become more and more desolate, and couldn't help asking: "Actually, I have always wanted to have a good talk with the members of the Wan Clan, but when I met it before, it was either a war or the corpse I saw, and I never found a chance, but now I finally have this opportunity." How? Talk about ? ”
The rats shuddered, and when they heard the word "corpse", they had even figured out 10,000 ways to die. How could they possibly refuse Guan Jue's questioning? So the five adult rats nodded like pounded garlic, and hurriedly said, "Of course! Of course! If there is anything you want to ask, just ask! ”
Guan Jue was very satisfied with their attitude, nodded and said, "What I want to ask the most is that the primeval clan really has no love...... It is that men and women who have no blood relatives, before they combine to become spouses, have a strong desire to get close to each other, want to take care of each other, and are very eager to spend their lives with each other, is there really no? ”
The five adult rats, you look at me, I look at you, and in the end, it was the one who took the lead and said: "Although I don't know what the so-called love of human beings is, but the kind of thing you said, my lord, we will never have it." The marriage of the opposite sex of all races is generally carried out according to blood and survival of the fittest. ”
"Oh?" Guan Jue said; "I've also heard that a lot of racial selection is done in a way that the dominant males compete with each other for rankings, and then the more bloodline and stronger ones can choose mates first, and then according to their strength, because of polygamy, even in the end, many people don't have a spouse."
The adult rat nodded and said, "Officially, the inside of our adult rat clan is the same way. ”
"I'm more curious, how is this process of choosing a spouse? On what basis? Pick one or pick multiple, what are these based on? ”
The adult rat clan obviously didn't expect Guan Jue to ask such a tricky question, in fact, these things are in their bloodline and life, and they can't get rid of it at all. If you have to ask what the reason is, or what the basis is, they really haven't thought about it before.
After thinking about it carefully, one of them, who was obviously married, said, "If you want to talk about the basis, it should be fertility, right?" We all have our own way of determining whether the other person will succeed in preserving our bloodline, or if we will be able to make our next generation more refined. ”
"Isn't it true that when you mate with each other, your blood will be diluted? You've probably heard of the human genetic theory, which is very common. ”
"Yes, it seems so. Sometimes, the opposite sex selected according to our judgment method is likely not to produce better offspring. Therefore, it is necessary to choose multiple opposite sexes, according to different selection methods, choose the opposite sex with various conditions, this is the source of polygamy, in order to ensure that the offspring can definitely give birth to more excellent bloodlines, it is necessary to try many times. If they find that they are not able to produce good offspring, they may also be rewarded to people who are not strong enough to have a mate and are not strong enough to have a mate. ”
"Tsk!" Guan Jue sighed with emotion, the alien race really has no concept of love at all, and An Xiaoyu is really right. It seems that these guys are actually no different from beasts in the choice of mates. Not to mention any husband and wife feelings and the like, only when they produce satisfactory offspring, they will become a family.
When the adult rat heard Guan Jue's slurping, he couldn't help but be frightened, and thought that his answer made Guan Jue dissatisfied, so he hurriedly added: "There are also races that are promiscuous. They are committed to excellence in ability, and in their view, the more capable the people, the greater their reproductive capacity. ”
"So, let all the males and females mate in unison?" Guan Jue said: "And then the children who are finally born, they will think that it is the optimal solution that can be produced through reproductive competition? Scold! There's really no theoretical basis, it's just nonsense, these races aren't very prosperous, right? ”
"Yes." The adult rat nodded and admitted: "Such a race is generally a small race. And in the higher higher races, and even the top races, there are many people, and they are divided into different levels of large tribes according to their bloodline, and mating can only be male downward. That is, only the higher rank of the tribe requisitioned the females of the lower class, and otherwise it was impossible to produce a random combination of mates. And offspring with insufficient blood and females who cannot produce thick-blooded offspring will also be sent to the lower classes. ”
Guan Jue nodded, indicating that he understood these things, so he asked again: "Then are you races who seem to have the same origin really related by blood?" If they are crossed with each other, will they be able to produce offspring smoothly? ”
An adult rat said decisively: "No, you can't poke in, the caliber can't match!" ”
After saying that, it felt that it was speechless, shrunk its neck, and explained: "Actually, we are not related by blood, even if we seem to be rats or elves, whether we can give birth to offspring depends on luck." Even if you are of the same race, the size and shape of the reminder and genitals may not match! ”
Another adult rat added: "Yes, we choose mates to produce offspring of better blood. There is no benefit to choosing other races at all, even if you can give birth to offspring, you have to be diluted by the other party's bloodline, and you don't know what monsters will be born, and you will be damned! ”
"That means you're not going to choose any other race as a mate at all?" Guan Jue asked.
"It's not without absolutes, I've heard of offspring formed by the mating of different races, and there are also legends passed down by word of mouth. It may be due to some other reasons, such as accidentally eating aphrodisiac fruits and beast secretions, and not being able to find a way to vent, or something wrong with the spirit. ”
"Oh? And this kind of thing? Are these descendants really inferior to their ancestral blood relatives? Guan Jue licked his tongue.
"Actually, there are still a few legends, of course, we don't know if they really exist or if they are made up. But according to legend, there have been a few stories of hybrids who eventually reached the highest level. But half of them ...... It's a Terran hybrid. ”
Guan Jue nodded and smiled: "There is a high probability that it does not exist, and the reason why half of them are Terran mixed blood must be because Terran mixed blood is more credible." After all, the Terran is a bloodline that can be determined now, and it can be safely fused with other races, and it seems that the race that made up the story also has another purpose. ”
"Purpose?" The adults wondered, they didn't understand these curves at all.
"It's nothing more than to discredit it, and it can't be to elevate a certain race." Guan Jue analyzed with them and said: "Think about it, if you are still in the territory of all races, and suddenly one day, it will be spread all over the outside, saying that your adult rat clan and human race are mixed, and you can resist the higher races, and even the top races, and even worse, if you defeat the Hong clan and the like, what will become of your adult rat clan?" ”
The five adult rats trembled: "Then we're done!" ”
Guan Jue nodded: "So, this is simply used to discredit it." In particular, the kind of apostasy that mates with other races can be more irritating. Think about it, if a traitor in your clan gives birth to a mixed race, he can reach the top, which shows what level your race is? ”
"Also, if these things are known to the high-level races, top races, or royal families that have been defeated in those stories, although they will definitely not believe the things in these stories at that time, they will definitely attack the races in the stories for the sake of face."
"I didn't expect that there would be such a smart person among the aliens...... No, maybe it's the control of the Huang clan, or maybe it's a human being who is guiding, the self-cultivation in the territory of all races? Sorcerer? Or maybe it's simply the people of the beginning and the end who play a role behind it......"
As he spoke, Guan Jue fell into deep thought. And the soldiers and the five adult rats around were already stunned, they didn't expect that there was such an inside story behind such a simple thing. The thought of someone making up a random story that could kill one or two races makes the adults tremble.
After thinking for a while, Guan Jue asked again: "Third question, what do you feel when you feel a thicker bloodline?" How does it feel to be crushed by the so-called higher races? If you used to be a higher race, do you still have a suppressive effect on other races? ”
"This ...... Of course there is. The adult rat said: "The feeling of facing a high-level bloodline is like sinking into deep water, it will become very difficult to breathe, and the strength in the body will not be exerted. It feels similar when facing the higher races, but it's more severe. In fact, fundamentally this power still comes from blood. Therefore, before our bloodline is completely thinned, of course, it will deter other lower races. Otherwise, our clan would not have been able to live until now, relying on the power of blood. ”
"So how does the power of the bloodline affect the control of the power of the law?"
"It's hard to explain, it's like we're born with our hands to grasp things, and from birth to old age and death, as long as there are no physical problems, this ability will always exist. But we don't know what's going on, but we do. Including the lack of laws, just like when you are hungry to eat, holding your breath will suffocate to death, all of them are in our instincts, and all we can feel is the blood. ”
"I see." Guan Jue nodded, a little clear.
As for why living beings are born to grasp things with their hands, and why they eat when they are hungry, these human beings have already studied and understood. Guan Jue believes that as long as the key point is grasped, the relationship between the so-called bloodline and the law will definitely be able to be figured out by human beings.
Seeing that Guan Jue stopped talking, the adult rat clan was relieved. Guan Jue's questions are very tricky, where have they ever thought of these things? That's it, and who cares why? They are beginning to understand why humanity has been able to develop to the point where aliens are scrambled in 9,000 years.
"The rat clan wants to see the lords of the ghost clan!" It was close to evening that they arrived at the gathering point. The human forces were gone, and not long after they actually entered the alien territory, when they encountered the first mountain beam that could not be passed by vehicles, Guan Jue stopped advancing.
The five adult rats came here directly from the mountain, and when they came out, they happened to see the members of the Veil Clan guarding the door. With just a slight glance, the five adult rat clans felt creepy, and a cold burst came out of their hearts, covering their whole bodies.
The ghost clan, as the name suggests, is a type of ghost clan. The ghost race is also a very large pool of homologous races among the primeval races, including the Xishan ghost of the higher race, the Yaksha ghost race of the higher top race, and then the same high race, but the curtain ghost race from the last rank of the high race, are all homologous races.
These races are similar in spirituality, appearance and living habits, so they are called homologous races, and their names are all limited to the same category of racial names. And the curtain ghost clan, which is the ghost clan with a curtain wrapped around its body, looks very weird.
The characteristics of the ghost clan are hideous appearance, the way the law is applied in a strange way, the personality is relatively biased, or tends to be irritable like the ghost of the West Mountain; Or tend to be bloodthirsty like the Yakshas. The personality traits of the Veil Ghost Clan tend to be gloomy and moody.
To be honest, before coming here, the rat clan was quite resistant.
In fact, there are very few races around that are willing to associate with the Veil Clan, and these guys are very weird. The appearance itself is very strange, like a floating ghost, very tall. Adult Veil Clan can probably have a height of about two meters and a half, but in fact, the weight of the body is very light.
Their main structure is a frame of limbs like dry branches, a slender body with no legs, three pairs of arms on the chest, and a small, skull-like head at the top. And in addition to these things, they also have a disguise like a black curtain growing on their bodies.
Layer by layer, stack after stack, hanging on their arms and bodies, covering their bodies inside, it seems that the outside is very large, with a height of two meters and five, it is very bluffing. In fact, most of these curtains are devoid of anything.
The black curtain is the power of their laws, capable of creating a field around it, which is like a labyrinth of infinite black curtains, which can easily be tricked. They like to devour the negative emotions of living beings, and the panic, anxiety, boredom and despair when they are stuck in a maze are all mental fluctuations that they like.
In other words, this is a race that feeds on the fluctuations of the Divine Soul most of the time, similar to the monsters in the movies that use radiation as a source of life energy. Of course, they also eat meat, but just look at their bodies, and they can't eat much at all, and they are far less effective than mental sucking.
The temperamental personality of the Veiled Ghost Clan often ignores you one second, and the next moment you start to be sucked by them as a coconut. And maybe in a few days, you will be killed, or people will be in a good mood to let you go, or even the captured race will be given a lot of treasures when they are released.
The list goes on.
Seeing the Veil Clan, the adult rats were naturally panicked. But now that they have taken refuge in the Empire, their families and clans are in the Empire, if this matter is not done well, maybe they will not be able to fight for more rights to survive in the future, you must know that after the victory of the Empire, they will definitely have to pay off the alien race.
Who knows if you take refuge now and will be reliable in the future? Therefore, it is absolutely necessary to make continuous contributions and vote for nominations. Swallowing their saliva, the five adult rats boldly stepped forward, looking at the Veiled Ghost Clan floating above, flying around with six arms outstretched, and trembling in horror.
The guard of the Veil Clan looked at the adult rat in front of him, thought for a moment, and muttered in a ghostly voice: "Adult rat clan...... Grown-ups? The rebellious race that has taken refuge in the Empire! Rebellion...... Purge! ”
As he spoke, the two guards of the Veil Clan rushed towards them, and the two big guys with curtains on their bodies and more than two meters tall rushed towards you, just like a dark cloud covering the top, which scared the adult rat clan and scolded Guan Jue in his heart, didn't you say that nothing would happen?
Driven by instinct, the rats began to burrow in the ground, wanting to return to the protection of the earth. But how can the speed at which they burrow on the spot be comparable to the speed at which others fly? Seeing that they were about to be caught by the two Veiled Ghost Clan, the five adult rats were so frightened that they hugged each other and trembled.
At that moment, a voice came from inside the camp: "Bring them in!" ”
The two guards suddenly stopped, looked at the five adult rats in front of them, and finally did not make a move, and after retreating some distance, they slowly opened the gate of the garrison. The five adult rats breathed a sigh of relief, believing that Guan Jue's speculation was correct, and it seemed that the two guards themselves did not have much intelligence.
They carefully stood up from the ground, patted the dust off their bodies, looked at the fierce gods on both sides, and walked into the camp of the Veiled Ghost Clan. Although it was a garrison point, not even a garrison point, the adults felt like they had walked into a ghost town.
