The lizard demon clan cannot reproduce, and expanding the population by plundering human babies is certainly not a long-term solution.

The birth rate of human beings is already low, and the survival of newborns is even more difficult under harsh conditions. During the period when the population was at a low point, the Heavenly Court would let the Senluo Hall recover the corpse, modify the appearance and body shape, and then resurrect the soul and put it back into use. In some cases, the body of an adult is directly created to pass away in order to skip the difficult stages of infancy and toddlerhood.

The lizard-fairies must rely on such an unstable source in order to gain new members, and they are really insecure for them, and maybe one day this fertility chain will be broken, leaving the entire group in a desperate situation where there is no successor.

Based on these reasons, it is not difficult for Xuanzang to deduce their request.

"It's just King Kodo, the equipment needed to improve the virus, it doesn't seem to be able to support it here." Xuanzang recalled what he saw after entering the cave and confirmed that the living facilities here were more primitive than those in the Jinshan Mine. A hunting-based group could not have those experimental equipment.

"We can take it from the black-robed man." "I've seen the experiments they have conducted, where they have turned some humans into strong giants up to three meters tall, and they have also combined humans and monsters into domesticable beasts. ”

Who is capable of completing such an experiment? Xuanzang thought to himself, although he may not fully meet the conditions he wants, he can give it a try.

According to Kodo, the base of the Black Robes does not have a strong armed force, and mainly relies on hiring other gangs in the desert as troops. They issue a variety of well-paid missions to keep the forces at bay, so many gangs are willing to help them in the event of an attack.

However, these people use conventional weapons and lack the ability to respond to attacks from underground, so the lizardmen can use their powerful burrowing abilities to launch a surprise attack from beneath the desert.

"I have my own arrangements for attacking the black-robed man, as long as the adults complete the improvements."

Xuanzang bowed his head and was silent, and after a few breaths, he asked, "If I help you restore your fertility, will you help me fight against the immortals?" ”

Keduo and the mage looked at each other without saying a word, their faces hesitant, and finally the mage said: "Lord Xuanzang, although the birth of our clan was a victim of the virus experiment, over the years, the hatred for the heavenly court has become more and more diluted. Ordinary people don't know about the virus, and the king, like our predecessors, don't want to fight against the sky, after all, with our strength, we just hit the stone with an egg. Of course, we have no gratitude to Heavenly Court. ”

Kodo also said: "In today's world, we have been able to turn that catastrophe into an advantage, and it has taken a great deal of effort to keep the entire race alive to this day." For us, the continuation of the whole race is the most important thing. ”

"If I can rebuild the earthly world, restore the earth to the richness and peace of the old world, and build a new and better world without the rule of gods and Buddhas, you will not want to restore the human body? At that point, I am afraid that this appearance will become an obstacle to survival. ”

"My lord, we have heard the legends of the old world, but we have never experienced what the old world was like. We can't imagine what you're talking about. Such an ethereal goal is not worth our efforts. The old lizard said.

Xuanzang was speechless, silent for a long time, and had to nod: "I understand." ”

He has a vision beyond his time, and the nature he sees is not on the same level as theirs. But for them, isn't the continuation of the race a great thing?

Conforming to the way of all things, not forcibly controlling, and all are created equal, this is the reason why he pursued the world and rebelled against the gods.

"Improving the function of the virus does not happen overnight, and it may not be successful. Moreover, since it is a virus, its essence is to replicate infinitely with the help of the host, and it does not care whether the host lives or dies. It is a miracle that you were able to adapt to the Immortal Virus and convert it into your own power, and it is not known how many failures there were before you. ”

"After the transformation, the effect will only be reflected in the next generation. Restoring your fertility, on the other hand, limits some aspect of the virus's abilities, and is likely to upset the current balance, and if you are not careful, your entire race will be destroyed. The consequences may happen immediately, perhaps a hundred years later. So after hearing this, are you still willing to continue? Xuanzang explained solemnly.

"We're willing to take risks." The Lizard King said firmly.

The existence of life is based on countless coincidences, and every time a new path is opened, there are a lot of bones left behind, and no one can guarantee that they can go on forever. Only nature knows where each subtle mutation will lead the path of evolution.

The path against nature has always been full of thorns.

Knowing that he is small, he still moves forward in the face of almost impossible challenges.

Isn't what you do the same thing? Xuanzang secretly sighed.

"Speaking of which, the adult's leg doesn't seem to be in good shape." The old lizard noticed that Xuanzang had been leaning against the stone wall in order to support his body.

Xuanzang nodded and admitted that his right leg had begun to turn black and lost consciousness, and the long-term abnormal blood supply made the calf seriously deprived of oxygen, and he was afraid that he had died.

The old lizard took a closer look at it and proposed, "In this situation, I'm afraid that if the bad blood is squeezed out and the wound is stitched up, it will not be able to return to its normal state. It's better to cut it thoroughly, inject the blood of our clan, and let the adult's right leg regenerate. ”

"This ...... Not necessarily. Xuanzang hurriedly excused himself, and the old lizard also said that he could control the amount of blood and that there would be no excessive regeneration and mutation, but he resolutely refused.

But the old lizard was right, this right leg did need to be amputated, but it was probably inappropriate to amputate it in this cave, and he always felt that the cut leg would be taken by the little demons to eat immediately, which was really unpleasant.

……

……

At the same time, above the heavenly court.

A heroic immortal dressed in silver armor was sitting casually on the fence at the edge of the Heavenly Palace, leaning on a pure white titanium alloy pillar.

His eyes were closed and he exuded a chilling aura, one foot hanging from the fence, and below him the endless void, high enough to make anyone's heart tremble, but he didn't have the slightest fear.

Between his eyebrows, there was a vertical divine eye. Brilliant as a diamond, it is made up of 32,767 pure and flawless transparent wafers, with an incomparably complex internal structure, and the slowly rotating wafers intersect and overlap, reflecting an infinite illusion.

The 10,000 chips in the Divine Eye correspond to the tens of thousands of prisms all over the world. They are nowhere to be seen, silently, silently observing everything in the most secluded places.

As long as he had one thought, the image of tens of thousands of prisms would instantly enter his brain at a speed beyond that of light. The whole world is invisible to him.

After ten breaths, the 30,000 chips folded inward, and the divine eye gradually dimmed, and it was included in the amount. He slowly opened his eyes, and the cold and sharp momentum diffused behind him, making the visitor stop solemnly.

"Erlang Zhenjun, are you spying on the world again?"

The man was wearing a gorgeous and powerful battle armor, wearing a sword tattooed with a divine beast on his waist, holding a delicate pagoda full of fairy light, and he was dressed in a majestic manner, but he was three points weaker in front of Yang Jian.

"Li Jing." Yang Jian said briefly, which was regarded as a greeting.

"The fairy child who went to collect gold has returned, and there is some unusual information. It was supposed to be presented to the Jade Emperor, but for some reason it was transferred to Erlang Zhenjun. King Tota said.

"Oh, yesterday I was suddenly interested, and I put everything away and wanted to make a big inventory. You said I hadn't seen that thing yet. Yang Jian tapped the corner of his eye with his index finger, and after reading the video, he didn't care. Isn't it just killing a few people, what, do you need to adjust the self-defense index of the drone? ”

Li Jingtie's face was blue, knowing that the other party deliberately used his authority to transfer the evidence, but there was nothing he could do. He looked at Yang Jian meaningfully and said, "There is no one left...... The records sent back by the fairy child seem to imply some violations of the rules of heaven. ”

The boring old guy is always obsessed with these wordplays. Yang Jian snorted coldly, quickly finished reading the log, and replied: "Well, someone used the nodes of the mortal world to send out the coordinates of the gold mine, what's wrong?" You knew it in advance before you sent out the drones. ”

"After the node was destroyed during the harvest, its branch node was re-online at another location seventy kilometers south of the mine, and the Ministry of Supervision confirmed that the message was sent through that branch node." Li Jing said in a deep voice, "And the direction in which the node is moving is an illegal organization." Coupled with the fact that the broadcast was anonymous, the Ministry of Supervision suspected......"

"I see." Yang Jian swiped in front of him with his hand, and several golden Dao talismans appeared in the air. He moved one of them to the center and quickly wrote a rune, and the golden light of the Dao rune went out.

"Erlang Zhenjun, this matter is not over yet, how can it be locked now?"

Yang Jian said in an unquestioning tone: "I am solely responsible for this matter, and there is no need to bother the Jade Emperor and his old man." Let's go. ”

Li Jing glared at him, but he couldn't attack and walked away.

Yang Jian looked at his expression and smiled contemptuously. Knowing that that illegal organization was my property, I deliberately reported it and used the Jade Emperor to suppress it, thinking that I would be afraid of you? Master, I don't want to eat you.

But......

He opened the eye again, and his gaze was projected through the prism onto somewhere in the desert.

Master Guanyin, the outcast you disdain, has been doing so much lately that I'm a little tempted to join the game.

Wouldn't it be fun to disrupt your plans?
