Chapter 21: The Rise of the Terrans
The fiery red sun hung obliquely in the west, scorching the earth. The heat outside the Taiji Hall was soaring, and even though it was close to dinner, there was still a dry heat in the air, but it was already in the middle of summer at this moment.
In the classroom, the children are dressed in thin shirts, sitting upright, listening intently.
On the podium, Xiong Tianqing was still like an ordinary old grandfather, with a kind smile on his face.
"In the last class, we learned together about the birth and development of the human race. I'd like to ask a student to help us recall, who would like to?" Xiong Tianqing glanced around, his eyes a little encouraging.
"I! I ......"
Hearing this, the children raised their right hands one after another and shouted loudly, lest Xiong Tianqing could not see it.
"Good, good, good. Don't be noisy. Seeing this, Xiong Tianqing smiled more and more kindly, and pressed his hand to signal the children to be quiet.
Hearing this, the children raised their hands one by one and looked at Xiong Tianqing with expectant eyes.
Xiong Tianqing glanced at it unhurriedly, opened his mouth and said, "Liuershilang, you come to tell you about it." ”
"Alas......," the children put down their raised hands with disappointed faces, and looked around, trying to see which guy was so lucky.
At the back of the classroom, a boy rose up with joy in his heart, and said loudly: "About 100 million years ago, a remote branch of the Holy Ape Clan gradually split off and formed a new race, which is our Human Race! At that time, although our ancestors had extremely high wisdom, they did not have the power of bloodline, and their strength was very weak. ”
"Under the pressure of survival, our ancestors had to move from their original place of existence to the border area of the three tribes of the Holy Ape Clan, the Dragon Clan, and the Tiger Clan. ”
Later, tribes gradually formed, and the leaders of the tribes were responsible for contacting other tribes and remembering some important events. At that time, our ancestors used tools made of stones to hunt, clothes made of animal skins to keep warm, and spiritual fruits to satisfy hunger. ”
"Later, the Fire Tribe was the first to discover the use of fire, and began to use fire to grill food and light for warmth, and the Ye tribe learned hemp to make clothes......
The voice is a little childish, but it is not hurried, neither humble nor arrogant, and full of confidence.
"Yes, that's a good point!" After Liuershiro finished speaking, Xiong Tianqing gently waved his hand to signal him to sit down, and praised him without hesitation.
"I just helped us review the content of the last class by Liuershiro, and it was very good and worthy of praise!" Xiong Tianqing faced all the children and reaffirmed Liuershiro's performance.
"Open the book, let's continue to learn below!See 'The Rise of the Human Race'!" Back to the topic, Xiong Tianqing's face was also a little serious.
"As we said earlier, in ancient times, there was only one prototype of the body cultivation system, and all living beings relied on the power of bloodlines to refine their physical bodies and improve their strength. And because we humans don't have the power of bloodline, our strength is the weakest, and we are at the bottom!"
"But our ancestors never gave up on their fate, they have been exploring ways to become stronger!"
"In the record, our ancestors made a total of three large-scale attempts!"
"This first attempt was spearheaded by a medium-sized tribe called the Jin tribe. The cause was that a child in his tribe accidentally ingested an elixir, and his physical fitness was increased in vain, causing quite a stir. ”
Subsequently, the leader of the Jin tribe led the people of the whole tribe to find all kinds of elixirs, hoping to strengthen themselves with them! ”
"But there are many kinds of elixirs, and their effects are different, and some are even poisonous!
"After several generations, in the end, the gains outweighed the losses, and the losses of the human race were too great, so they had to abandon this method, and the first attempt ended in failure!"
"The second attempt was launched by the three major tribes of the time. By chance, the Fire Tribe, one of the three major tribes, hunted down a seriously injured first-class spirit beast! It was precisely in this way that the power of the bloodline, the benchmark of strength division at that time, appeared in the ancestor's field of vision for the first time! After returning to the tribe, the leader of the Fire Tribe found a bold person to swallow the spirit beast's essence and blood, and its physical fitness underwent a qualitative change, and the effect was very different from that of swallowing the elixir! The second attempt was also launched. ”
"Actually, this is also the luck of our human race. Even if our ancestors had a trace of bloodline power in their bodies, they would not have such a result. ”
"Why?" said some of the children, puzzled.
"This is because the power of the bloodline cannot be fused with each other, and when the power of the two bloodlines comes into contact with each other, they will devour each other, and the process is very violent. It is very easy to be counterattacked by the weak, and the final result is that the strength of the body cannot withstand the energy impact of the counterattack and is exploded! And because the ancestors of our human race do not have the power of bloodlines, they can safely convert the power of other bloodlines into their own!" Xiong Tianqing stroked his gray beard and explained carefully.
"Oh~~" The children nodded slightly with a look of sudden realization.
"But that's just the beginning, and when you get down the road, a lot of questions come your way. Back to the topic, Xiong Tianqing's expression gradually became serious.
"The first hurdle is how to hunt spirit beasts and obtain essence blood! After all, our ancestors were at the bottom at that time, not even as good as some ordinary beasts, let alone those spirit beasts. ”
Hearing this, the children frowned and used their brains to think of a way.
"But there is no way to be endless, although the strength of the spirit beasts is strong, but most of them have low spiritual intelligence, and our ancestors reluctantly subdued this level by trapping and setting traps. ”
"But the second difficulty also followed, that is, the absorption of the power of the bloodline! Although there is no worry about the backlash of the bloodline, the danger is greatly reduced, but the power of the bloodline is already violent, and our ancestors' physique is weak, and the absorption process is also very dangerous, many people are bursting because they can't withstand the power of the violent bloodline! And even if they bear it, most people will have partial alienation!"
Hearing this, the children couldn't help but gasp, the blood and danger in it can be felt just by listening.
"The first absorption, as dangerous as it is, is at least possible, but the second absorption is never possible. Speaking of this, without waiting for the children to ask, Xiong Tianqing went on to explain: "The reason is that the bloodline mentioned earlier does not blend with each other! In the case of having the power of the bloodline, it is impossible to devour and transform it into a stronger bloodline, not to mention that the power of our ancestors' bloodline is not our own, and it is difficult to even completely control it!"
"And this also leads to the third problem, that is, growth! The power of the bloodline is already extremely poor, and once it is formed, there is almost no possibility of becoming stronger! And because our ancestors' physique is already weak, we can only devour a very weak bloodline for the first time, and if we devour it again, we will kill ourselves! The road to becoming stronger will be cut off!"
Hearing this, the children couldn't help but despair.
Even so, the ancestors did not give up! They tried to conquer it by means of portioning, dilution, etc. Generations have gone forward to sum up their experiences with blood and lives!"
"However, before it could bear fruit, it attracted the attention of some powerful spirit beasts around it because of its growing movements, and they united to attack our ancestors. The two sides fought several battles, and finally the Terrans were defeated! Among the three major tribes, the Fire Tribe and the Rock Tribe were destroyed, the Ye Tribe suffered heavy losses, and the Terrans were forced to move again! The second attempt also ended with this. ”
"Our ancestors traveled thousands of miles through hardships and dangers, until they came to the edge of the land and the coast of the sea, and then settled down again. Although the strength of the human race was greatly reduced at that time, the ancestors still did not stop exploring and becoming stronger!"
"And with the discovery of the medicinal bath effect and the subsequent blood bath effect, the ancestors began the third attempt! This attempt was extremely successful, and it also became a turning point in the fate of the human race, giving our human race the possibility of giving birth to a top powerhouse!"
"The reason for this attempt was the discovery of the effects of the medicinal bath,......"
Listening to Xiong Tianqing's detailed explanation, the children clearly felt how difficult it was for the ancestors of the human race at that time. They seemed to see the figures of the ancestors fighting bloodily with crude weapons; they seemed to see the tragic life of the ancestors who were supported by the power of the bloodline; they seemed to see the expressions of the ancestors who did not regret the alienation of their bodies due to the absorption of the power of the bloodline; they seemed to see how the generations of ancestors used blood to open up the future of the human race, and how they used their lives to promote the rise of the human race! The courage not to be afraid of death, the spirit of perseverance and resignation to fate, the unwavering and thirsty heart of the strong, and so on and so forth, all shook their hearts, and an indescribable feeling gradually spread in their hearts.
"Bell, bell, bell......"
The majestic bell rang, and the setting sun slanted in through the window, giving the classroom a layer of light. Xiong Tianqing closed the textbook, his expression was serious, and he slowly spoke: "From scratch, after countless generations, the ancestors of our human race did not respect heaven and earth, refused to accept fate, and used blood and life to open up a road of Zhuangkang for us from the wilderness! No matter what happens to you in the future, I hope you can uphold the will of your ancestors, and do not lose the spirit of your ancestors and shame your ancestors!"
Xiong Tianqing's voice was very plain, but it rang in the ears of the children like a bell, and went straight to the heart! All the children seemed to have a raging fire lit in their hearts, and one by one they turned red, and they got up and straightened their bodies, and their immature little faces looked extremely serious at the moment, their eyes were firm, and they saluted loudly: "No!"
Xiong Tianqing looked at the excited children, his eyes flashed with some inexplicable luster, he knew that this state in front of him could not last, but at least it would leave a seed in the hearts of the children, one day in the future, if necessary, these children may also be like their ancestors, for the sake of the clan, for the future of the children and grandchildren, and for this world that gave birth to him and raised him and burned everything!
"Let's get out of class!" Xiong Tianqing said slowly, turning to leave.
After Xiong Tianqing walked out, the classroom was still quiet.
"Hoo ......"
I don't know who exhaled lightly, breaking the silence of the classroom, and the frozen atmosphere was shattered in an instant. The classroom was gradually filled with the sound of giggles.
......
Da Lang put the book back in his box, took out another book and put it in his school bag, carried it on his back, and closed the door.
Ichihachiro, too, all of them were jumping around with a schoolbag on their backs.
"There are only two weeks to take the clan rules, have you brought all the clan rules?" Da Lang asked casually.
"It's all in my bag. Ichihachiro patted his schoolbag and said.
"Uh-huh, we've all brought it with us. Erlang, they also answered.
Hearing this, Da Lang nodded and took the lead towards the hall.
"Hey, big brother, where are we going to play this week?" asked Ersanlinglang as he walked outside.
"yes, yes, I've almost walked around on both sides. Hearing this, Sanhachihiro echoed.
"Forget it, I haven't memorized the clan rules yet! Let's wait until I'm done with the clan rules, I don't want to be expelled from my family. Shichiro rolled his eyes when he heard this.
"Before the clan rules exam is over, my father will definitely not let me come out to play, let's wait until the exam is over!" San Lang also spread his hands helplessly.
"Alas~, let's just ask. My father told me yesterday that if I didn't carry it well and wanted to play all the time, he would break my legs. Hearing the exam, Ersanlinglang sighed and said dejectedly.
"Don't think about having fun now! memorize the clan rules! When the clan rules are over, I'll take you to the holy mountain to play!" Da Lang admonished.
"Oh, yes, yes, I've wanted to go for a long time!" Ichihachiro's eyes lit up and echoed loudly.
"But my father said that there were spirit beasts in the holy mountain, and I was not allowed to go. The seventeenth sister looked a little timid when she heard this, and said weakly.
"What are you afraid of! I've also heard my father say that those are all first- and second-level spirit beasts, and their strength is not as good as ours! When Hearing this, Four-Five-Zero Lang said nonchalantly.
"That's it, there are so many of us!" Ichihachiro also persuaded him.
"We're just playing on the periphery, and if we don't go deeper, we'll be fine. Da Lang also explained.
......
There was talk and laughter, stepping on the sunset, and the group returned together.
