"Are bugs also mythical beasts?" staring at the arthropod, Shure was a little distracted for a moment, until Rex called him a few times with a thunderous roar, then retracted his gaze and asked, "And has the mythical beasts started using tools too?"

"Tools, of course they will use them, why do you ask this question? Oh, you said that guy has a leg in his mouth, yes, there have been intelligent bodies using it a lot in the past two years. Our carnivorous bodies are only suitable for hunting, and it is very troublesome to mow the grass for things, but some guys only need a certain kind of grass, and the demand is quite large, in the past, we could only exchange prey with other creatures, which was too laborious and very lossy, but now it is much better, and it is too convenient for that thing to mow the grass. ”

The Thunderstorm Beast was obviously very interested, and as he spoke, the two small short forelimbs were gesturing in front of him, lest Shur not understand how convenient it was.

"So, where did that thing come from?" Shure wanted Rex to help stop the giant beast that was passing by with its arthropod in its mouth, but seeing that the thunderstorm beast explained so vigorously, it obviously knew the inside story, so he simply gave up his original plan, "How do you look like a stump of a bug, and it's not small." That's why I asked, are bugs also one of the mythical beasts?"

"That's not it, we're not the same kind as insects, although there is no shortage of insects in the wilderness, and there are some relatively large species, but they are not as intelligent as us, they only know how to eat and reproduce, and they are not savage beasts. The Thunderstorm Beast shook its rectangular head vigorously and said with disdain, "And they are too weak, and they can barely survive in the wilderness only by being outnumbered and well hidden." ”

"I have reservations about their strength. Shuer remembered the insects all over the mountains in the insect swarm world, and subconsciously shook his head, even if it is a powerful thunderstorm beast like Rex, if it is thrown into that world, it will be overwhelmed by the endless insect swarm, but that is not the focus of Shuer's attention, his attention is always focused on that arthropod, "In addition, the insects here are not intelligent?"

"Of course, do all the worms of your civilized world have intelligence?"

"Uh...... Nor did it. "This guy is deliberately annoying, Shuer secretly rolled his eyes, and the deer on the side saw that he was choked and couldn't speak, and he was already laughing so much that he was about to fall off the back of the giant beast.

"yes, we're the same here, but ......" Rex's little paw pointed at the passing beast, "this thing is an exception?"

"Huh?"

"The owner of this thing lives in a valley two hours away, a nest of spiders, and I don't know where I originally lived, and I moved here two or three years ago. Their mother worm is intelligent, and I'm the only one I've ever seen that is. ”

And so it was.

Shure and Moria looked at each other and smiled bitterly, the time and the clan were right, it seemed that the owner of the arthropod was an old friend from the past.

The mutant spider mother of the burrowing spider relied on energy-based mutation to break through the strength limit of the race, and absorbed special crystal energy from the swarm world, and her individual wisdom and physical fitness were greatly enhanced, and her strength was quite terrifying.

Since the breakup in the western wilderness, it took a few children and left in the direction of the wild land, and has never heard of it again, thinking that it was the last time the two sides intersected, but I didn't expect to see it here again three years later.

Seeing this pitch-black arthropod just now, Shul immediately thought of the mutant spider mother. There's no way, in the magic tower in order to kill it Shuer had repeatedly observed, and he had already memorized all his physical features, so as soon as he saw Arthropod Shuer, he could be sure that this definitely belonged to a burrowing spider, and it was a giant burrowing spider that could not exist in theory.

...... of the residual limb.

At this time, Xiuer's mood was a little delicate, and the stumps of his old rival and old friend were in front of him, which really made people unhappy, after all, he had helped back then, and it was difficult to treat it as a strange insect.

"Didn't you say that sapient beings don't kill each other?" it was hard to talk about being hurt by this, but Shul still wanted to find out the cause of the mutant spider mother's death, and to thank it for its assistance in the first place, "Or is there some conflict between the two of you?"

"It's true that sapients don't kill each other, but some sapients still die in the mouths of other unintelligent predators, although it is not common, but it is inevitable, after all, this is a wild place. Rex took it for granted, even a little puzzled by why Shul was asking such a stupid question.

If you think about it, even if you have wisdom, you are still the inhabitants of the wilderness, and the intelligent beings treat each other preferentially, but those pure beasts don't have this concept, and they won't change their goals just because their prey is wise. Of course, intelligent individuals do have a greater advantage of surviving when they are hunted, and the chance of death is smaller than that of their kind, but it is not necessarily the case when they encounter bad luck, and intelligent creatures are often attacked and eaten by demonic beasts when they leave the city, not to mention the mythical beasts of the wild land.

"And even though the big spider can be considered an intelligent body, it doesn't communicate much with us, and it doesn't even come here very often. ”

"Huh?" Shure asked, "why?"

"Because it can't speak. Rex squinted at Shul and said angrily, "Have you ever seen a spider that can speak? ”

"I've never seen a Thunderstorm Beast speak. Shur muttered, "Didn't I see it today." ”

"But we have articulatory organs, and with wisdom, we can imitate the pronunciation of your intelligent beings by adjusting our vocal cords with energy. Spiders don't have vocal cords, and no matter how much they adjust their energy, they can't communicate as well as we do. ”

"Well, it does. Shule sighed softly, "But what you just said was that there wasn't 'much' communication?"

"Yes, we can't understand it when it sizzles, but the dragons do. The dragon clan has a technique called soul resonance, which can directly understand the meaning of the other party through the collision of hearts. ”

"Soul Voice?" Shuer's first thought was the soul voice that could only be used by the gods, and he spoke directly through the soul.

"What's that?" Unfortunately, Rex had barely touched the gods, and certainly couldn't understand what Shul was saying.

"No, Shure. "Fortunately, Moria's presence is here, maybe because her mother and the dragon were both divine creatures, so she also knows something about the dragon, "Psychic resonance is a racial skill of the dragon race, and it is completely different from the soul voice. It is not through soul dialogue, but as long as a certain creature has a sound consciousness and can express it through vocalization, the dragons can make each other understand each other through spiritual resonance. It's a bit like the beast whisperer in the wood elves, or the wild voice of our hunters, but the spiritual resonance is more advanced than the wild voice, we can only vaguely feel the thoughts of the beast, but the dragon can be translated 100% accurately, and it is two-way, of course, provided that the other party's soul can understand such a complex content. ”

"Tsk, that's convenient. ”

"Yes, I've always felt that the wild voice mastered by the forest spirit hunter was actually learned from the dragon clan, and then taught to the wood elves, so that there was the profession of beast whisperer. But it was too old to be sure, so we asked my mother, but she said she didn't remember it either. ”

"Do the gods forget? Well, the gods seem to forget. Remembering Master Anika's style, Shure was not surprised at all, "I think it's a technique developed by the dragons in order to keep descendants everywhere. ”

"Eh, isn't that just right for you? No wonder you keep asking, it turns out that you also want to learn, so it's convenient for you when the time comes...... Hmm ”

Although they were messing around, both of them actually understood that Xiu'er's guess was likely to be close to the truth, and the dragons could leave descendants with various giant beasts in ancient times, and in addition to their special bloodlines, there must also be a relationship between the racial skills of spiritual resonance.

"Ignore her, you continue. Realizing that Moriah was actually going to lick her palms like a real deer, Shul quickly withdrew the hand covering her mouth and said to Rex as if nothing had happened, "So the dragons have communicated with it?"

"Yes, we have a new neighbor, and it's intelligent, of course the dragons will check it out, and then it's officially joined the ranks of the sapient. Rex seemed to remember suddenly, and added, "By the way, you know it, no wonder you've been asking, I remember, it seems that it was since then, that the dragons first mentioned your name." ”

"Huh?" Shul almost didn't stand still and fell off the back of the beast, "You wait, you wait, I remember when we first met, you said that someone mentioned me in front of you, I thought it was Lord Anika, is it not her but the mutant spider mother?"

"Anika, we haven't met, maybe she mentioned you to the dragons, no, she must have mentioned you, and she should have said all the praise for you. Rex shook his head, "But that was later, the dragons first knew that you were through that big spider, and then they told us that you should be the first intelligent creature that we all paid attention to besides those mages." Later, some time ago, about half a year ago, they went to find the big spider again, and after they came back, they began to study the matter of deepening cooperation with the Mage Tower. ”

Half a year ago, that is, around the time of the Rift Space Gods Conference, well, that's right, Shure had already reorganized the whole thing in his brain, there were no other intelligent creatures left but the planet of bugs, the battle priest who didn't mind cooperating with beasts, the prototype of the city in the experiment, the rift space to be developed, the newborn community of twisted voids, the weak Segris, the divine creatures with divinity of the whole race, and the purpose of the dragon clan had been slowly outlined in consciousness.

The ambition is indeed not small, but ......

"Since the dragons have accepted it, why did they die in the end?" Shu'er hadn't forgotten his original focus, "It shouldn't have been killed by those ordinary mythical beasts, otherwise its stump wouldn't have had a chance to be used as a tool by you." ”

"Who said it was dead?"

"Huh?"

"Don't you know that bugs shed a layer of carapace every once in a while?"

"Huh?" I know, I really know, but who would have thought that this was just the shell of it that had faded off, Shul rolled his eyes to the sky, silently mourning the subtle emotions in his heart just now.

"After all, it's just a bug, it doesn't have heavy scales and hard muscles to protect it, and its body isn't strong enough (I think that idiot Duck must not agree with that), and it's still safe to stay in the valley with tens of thousands of little spiders, but it's more dangerous to come out of the valley, unless you take all the little spiders with you, it will inevitably turn into food once you encounter a swarm of predators, so you rarely come here. Ignoring Shure's dissenting opinion, the Thunderstorm Beast said to himself, "However, its fading carapace and spit out spider silk are still very good, and everyone likes it, so when needed, they take the initiative to drive a group of beasts to the vicinity of the valley as an exchange." I also know the valley where they live, and if you want to see it, I can take you around later. ”

"Excuse me, I'm not interested in spiders, and besides, Moria, shut up. Xiuer shook his head vigorously without thinking about it, "Moreover, I estimate that there will be many opportunities to meet in the other world in the future, so let's talk about it then." ”

"Whatever you want. Rex didn't care at all, as his attention had been drawn to something else, "Why do they keep staring at me?"

"I think they're actually staring at me and Moria, and you've been ignored. ”

At this time, the thunderstorm beast had already carried Shur and Moria to the center of the square, and the surrounding area was full of mythical creatures, it was like an exhibition of ancient creatures, and these mythical beasts were still speaking the lingua franca very uncoincidentally, and carrying out all kinds of unbelievable transactions, fortunately, there was no currency so far, otherwise Shure would have to seriously consider whether the mythical beasts already had their own civilization.

But even without currency, what happened in this settlement was far beyond Shur's expectations, did the gods know everything that happened here? The gods knew everything, Shul thought that at least some of the gods must know, but they did not stop it, they did not even put obstacles, but let the dragons and mythical beasts slowly develop on their own.

Maybe in the eyes of the gods, these mythical beasts with wisdom are actually no different from mortals, and they chose to separate the two sides before, just to avoid the beasts from slaughtering believers, since the mythical beasts of the intelligent body can accept the existence of order and live normally like real intelligent creatures, as long as they can keep it up, maybe with the fraternity of the gods, they don't mind that they slowly develop their own civilization, and even happy to see this day come.

Of course, that was the original thing, but now......

Shuer, who was thinking about it, suddenly sensed something, and when he looked up, he saw a pair of eyes.
