Chapter 703: It turned out to be a meteor
For trolls, hunting is an absolute tradition.
In the earliest ceremonies of the priesthood of the gods, it was also the sacrifice of strong and fierce prey, not of the same kind.
As for the Blood Trolls, they are absolute reverents of 'natural selection' even before they are twisted and blackened, and like some primitive Mesoamerican natives of some Origin Worlds, they believe that they can inherit their power by eating their kind.
This is actually the root of troll cannibalism.
Kane understands the problem, putting aside the common morality, and thinks that there is indeed some truth to it.
Swallowing, which is the most common way of absorption, has a certain probability of absorbing and utilizing the target's three strange substances or energy. The other is the need for survival, even if it is an intelligent creature, there is also an animal side, too much to talk about this, there is a suspicion of crows laughing at pigs.
Of course, Kane does not deny that cannibalism of intelligent life is a complete tragedy, both for the dead and the living.
His team has always been strictly forbidden to touch this bottom limit, although the life and soul system from the world of sin souls, to put it bluntly, is to eat people, but some arches should be established or profitable, after all, the dignity of intelligent life is a skin and a fig leaf, if it is not maintained, it is really no different from a beast.
The religious pilgrimage of a troll, if one encounters a beast and successfully hunts it on the way, is considered to be blessed by the gods.
However, this statement was later distorted, just like Luo Han and his party now, deliberately arranged to pass through the Warcraft Wilderness to complete the hunt, which is a bit self-deceptive.
The contrasting location of the Beast Wilderness is in the Shurgai region of Nazmir, where the changes in the earth's crust brought about by the Well of Eternity have caused the oil to gush up there, creating a crude oil quagmire, which is a terrible place if you don't take into account the use of crude oil.
But here, there are no oil marshes, only corrupt black soil.
Riding his mount up to a small plateau, Rohan looked out over the barren land.
The dry, rotten wind howled in the wilderness, and the ashes of black-gray dust and sand flew in the air, and although it was daytime, it did not feel the warmth of the sun at all, but was as cold as midnight in early winter.
However, there are still plants here, one of which looks like a dead shrub, and there are no leaves in sight, but a sense of probing can reveal that they are alive. It is a deformed plant that relies entirely on its roots to absorb nutrients from the earth.
This is the bottom of the food chain, they feed another deformed plant, which looks like a man-eating flower, with the appearance of a large bud that normally closes, with thick petals, jagged teeth, and can indeed devour flesh, but what is really deadly is the thorny vine-like tentacles.
This plant, known to the Blood Trolls as the Skunk Head, is the only plant in the wilderness that can easily squeeze out its foliage. Like rancid swill, filthy and smelly.
However, they are the main source of food for the monsters to be hunted this time.
Rohan said, "How good can the meat of a beast that eats such a thing be?"
The Warcraft was originally a relatively common freshwater beast in the Nazmir region, which has a bit of a hippopotamus, but it looks like it has a bigger head, a rounder body, and is cute and ugly.
Now, it's ugly, or when a lot of people press you, you have to add the concept of hideousness.
It may be due to the harsh environment, the demonic beast deformed from the freshwater beast no longer has the big body of the former, even if it is an adult, it is only more than 2 meters long, nearly 2 meters high, and weighs about a ton and a half, which is actually equivalent to a strong beef cow.
They do not have horns, but they have horn-like bone spurs in several parts. It is also the severe deformity of this skeleton that makes their image change greatly and lose their cute characteristics.
Warcraft are in groups, and the group that Rohan encountered, there were about 10 of them, and when they saw Rohan's team coming, they were not afraid, but roared and lined up in a simple formation and rushed over, obviously, their recipes were not only stinky ghost heads.
Rohan waved his hand, and the matter was taken care of. He wasn't interested in really following the ancient rituals, taking off his armor and going into battle shirtless.
Led by the captain, the temple warriors took control of their mounts and spread out in formation as they marched, and the rhythm of a drum became fierce and violent, making people's blood boil.
This is a kind of sonic system with BUFF magic, the sound of marching, the sound of war, the sound of centering, etc., which Kane found for Rohan through the cabinets, because this system is more compatible with the barbarian tribal style, maybe Rohan can use it. As a result, he was really transformed into actual power.
At this time, except for four guards, there was no one else to protect Rohan, the convoy was under the dirt mountain, and the warriors had already attacked.
Rohan naturally did it on purpose, leaving no chance to look okay, and his opponent was afraid that he would not show up to attack.
However, this time there seems to be a suspicion of Bai Xiu, the temple warriors have already fought with the demonic beasts, and they have not seen the sneak attacker show up. It's probably more patient, and I want to observe more, gather enough information, and then start acting.
Look at it casually, these puppets pretending to be temple warriors belong to the open card, and they are not afraid to look at it.
The beasts, as fierce as they were, got the situation wrong from the start, and instead of colliding head-on with them, the Tyrannosaurus jumped high like a velociraptor at the right distance and knocked its target down.
Even if the monster is protected by bone spurs, the Swift Tyrannosaurus also has the blessing of the rider's divine skill, and at the moment of smashing, it has an energy shell, which is far heavier and stronger than that of an ordinary velociraptor and has become the main factor that can knock down a big man like a monster.
Although most of the monsters can quickly turn over and fight again after they fall to the ground, their ability is not fangs and claws, but to collide, and now they have no speed, and they are severely injured by the Tyrannosaurus when they are knocked down with the Velociraptor characteristic scythe claws that are usually always cocked, and they are naturally at a disadvantage, not to mention that this is a battle with more and less fighting......
The monsters howled and struggled desperately, colliding indiscriminately, and the temple warriors rode the Tyrannosaurus to roam around and kill, often when they saw the opportunity, they would come ruthlessly.
Although the vitality of the demonic beast is extremely tenacious, it can't withstand the continuous bloodletting blow of this kind of damage that is constantly superimposed, and even the more crazy it struggles, the faster it dies.
The red flesh rolls, the blood splatters, and the scene is brutal and bloody, but the blood trolls will be excited by it, and even their bodies will be strengthened to a certain extent by this kind of stimulation.
This is a genetic trait caused by long-term evolution, and Rohan has a better positive effect due to the situation, so it looks like a group of demons dancing around.
Life went by, and the monsters finally fell down one after another, unable to stand up again.
The warriors cheered loudly and celebrated the victory, and the best of them in the previous battles dismounted and used the ceremonial slaughtering knife to cut the tribute, and the heart.
After that, a part of the meat will be taken, usually the front shoulder meat, this kind of beast, similar to pigs and cows, the front shoulder is the best meat, down is the ribs, and then down is the back seat, the head and neck meat is poor, although the trolls don't know the concept of lymph, but this thing is eaten, which is good and which is bad.
Now the meat is mainly symbolic, and it will not be eaten, after all, the meat of the demonic beast has been qualitatively changed, and it is harmful to eat it, and they are not short of food.
It stands to reason that the next step was the sacrificial ceremony, which should be presided over by the highest priest or leader of the procession.
However, the ritual presided over by Rohan was very different, and it was not a sacrificial ritual at all, but a rite of transformation of life.
As the sadhana was completed, the heart was consumed by a dark green thorn, and the severed front shoulder flesh was transformed into something resembling moss turf, covered with green hairy shoots.
They were then stuffed back into the beast's body.
Not long after, a devouring transformation began, and it was as if there were countless long worms drilling inside the body of the demonic beast, so that the wriggling effect was clearly visible under the epidermis.
In about a quarter of an hour, the transformation was over in the gnawing of acceleration, and it was a composite of bones and thorns, the Golem of Nature, that stood up again.
In terms of category, this kind of golem can be classified with the willow golems of the Drusters, and the voodoo of the trolls also has similar works, so it has a very high rationality for existence, but in the clan population of blood trolls, the most developed voodoo aspect is the dark voodoo, and it has declined and withered.
When the Nature Golem joined the queue, the Tyrannosaurus rex, which had previously pulled the cart, was freed and became a standby ride. The procession continued to march to the sound of marching drums.
Rohan squinted at his mount with some regret and chatter, swaying his body as his mount walked, but his attention was no longer on the current group.
He's thinking about some macro issues.
He settled in the other world, after all, it has been more than half a year.
Although he himself spends most of his time in farming, his intelligence gathering has not stopped.
The 4 Shadow Trolls, in particular, are very quick and reliable in gathering information.
Judging from the information they gathered, the world was very broken, although there was still the sea, but beyond the sea, there was nothingness.
It feels as if the world is a plate of ice that is constantly melting from the edges.
The Shadow Trolls, through their unrivalled strength and adaptability to the Void, have also explored the void at the end of the sea.
The information I got was that it was similar to the deep space of the universe.
Of course, there are excesses, just as the density of matter in the ionosphere is only 1/100 million at sea level, and the same is true for the void, and the dispersion of matter is very severe and has a clear directionality.
Therefore, if it is understood from the scientific side, the world he is in now is like a comet, and it is not even appropriate to describe it as a planet, saying that it is a fragment of a planet that is almost the same, constantly flying, and constantly losing its own mass. It's just that for some special reason, it can't be as harsh as a real big meteorite flying in the deep sky of the dome.
When he understood this situation, he naturally couldn't help but worry, did Kane really have a way to establish a stable space channel on such a rapidly moving star fragment that was constantly losing mass?
The worst plan is to not see each other again for a very, very long time.
And then, what did he do?
His farming system needs to be rooted in energy and matter, and when this fragmented world is carried to a certain extent, it will inevitably disintegrate, so what about him? wander in a strange astral realm until he finds a world to live in, or exhaust everything and die?
Either way, it seemed quite depressing to him. And this day will come unexpectedly, that is, decades, at most not more than a hundred years, which can be roughly calculated.
Whenever I think of this, these things in front of my hand seem to have a bit of a taste of flies and dogs, which does not help much to solve the problem, and even accelerates consumption by helping at all.
Of course, it's not like there's no light at all.
And this hope comes from the condition of the celestial bodies.
The sun, the moon, and the stars are always in a stable state. So, based on this situation, is it possible to deduce that the world is flying with its own fixed orbit like Halley's Comet?
It is true that the demonized universe cannot be substituted for the cosmology of the origin world, but as mentioned a long time ago, one of the major characteristics of the Blizzard universe is that it is not pure magic, but a composite body.
The reason why Rohan still has so little hope is because of this. Now, it depends on the characteristics of the normal universe and what proportion they occupy in this space-time system. If it's high enough, then it may be possible to move to other planets nearby.
The reason why he said it was possible was because he was not very confident that he would climb to the heights of space civilization in a few decades.
Or just be stupid, crazily save energy, and use the current Ark Fortress as a spaceship to cross deep space or the astral plane?
It feels very unreliable, the nature of gambling is too strong, and it seems that it is better to raise the detection means first and obtain more high-value information......
This is the macro problem that Rohan thinks about, some false big emptiness, but it is not enough to seek a time without seeking eternity, and it is not enough to seek a domain without seeking the overall situation, and decades is really too few for a small group that starts to climb the technology tree from a very low starting point. In particular, he did not inherit Kane's usual sharpness in this regard.
