Chapter 912: The Clash of Elemental Creatures
Cruel. After telling Fen about his thoughts, these two words couldn't help but appear in Lin's mind. If it were to be made into a movie, I would have to give myself a close-up with a cruel smile and a narration like nothing.
But to be honest, there is nothing in someone's heart. Because the scene unfolding in front of me was not a severed limb, nor a splash of blood, nor screaming, begging for mercy, or cruel lewd laughter. Someone who is not familiar with the struggle between elemental creatures has a very dramatic feeling when he looks at the scene in front of him.
Maybe it's too much to say that wild dogs bite each other. But watching this battle, which is no different from the puppet show on TV, even if there is any emotion, it all dissipates. However, it is precisely because there are no superfluous emotions that we can observe and record the facts we see more fairly.
Of course, the two opposing sides are strong and weak. But the battle of elemental creatures is not as one might have imagined, with the winner devouring the loser entirely.
It's like the rock giant insect that I encountered before, after being cut into three by Fen, its huge body became the nourishment of the lives of other elves, and its strength was constantly thinned. But in the end, the rock worm will come back to life; Although it is only the size of a finger, it is far from the original body shape.
However, the two sides of the current struggle have a vice-reluctant attitude towards the elven core of other elemental creatures. Even with a strong attack of fists to the flesh, no one smashed the opponent's elven core, devoured it, and strengthened themselves.
But this does not mean that there is no difference between the winners and the losers.
Lin noticed some characteristics of the opposing sides. The most conspicuous thing is that the elemental creatures in this earth elemental universe are not as pure as the summoned elemental spirits in the Lost Land. The elemental creatures here are usually mottled in color, which means that the materials that make up their bodies are not unique, and they don't even seem to be well planned, but they are left to the east and west.
On the other hand, the weaker side is the sand-based elemental creatures, with occasional metallic luster. The elemental creature that could fight the most was humanoid, and a unicorn arm shone with a strange light.
It doesn't look like metal, because it doesn't look like a metallic color that is high purity or not pure enough. According to the characteristics of light, the general metal will directly refract the light on the surface; And the arm of the special humanoid elemental creature seemed to let the light bypass in the body and then scatter it. As far as anyone knows, the only material with such characteristics is gemstones.
In other words, this particular humanoid elemental creature has a unicorn arm made of gemstones. In the whole conflict, it was up to him to show off alone, waving that arm and beating one opponent after another. The reason why it's so powerful is because someone saw the painting style beyond the fist to the flesh, the afterglow of the magic effect.
It stands to reason that there is such a god who blocks and kills gods and demons and kills demons, and the side of this primitive village should be invincible. But in fact, they are still the weaker side. In addition to the fact that the number is not as large as the opponent, the side that hit the door at the beginning has three jewels of people who do not move. It wasn't until they were knocked down by the unicorn arm that a few people were knocked down, and one of them was a gem humanoid elemental creature that they struck.
The three gem people who did not move at the beginning were not pure gem bodies, but their bodies had relatively large areas of gemstone material, at least more than one arm. Moreover, their gemstone bodies are also not very pure, and they seem to have gemstones of various colors, and metal and sand parts can occasionally be seen.
Even so, one of them still broke out with powerful combat power, overturning many stalemate battles. Then he smashed his fist into the humanoid elemental creature with the unicorn arm.
There is nothing brilliant about the two elemental creatures with the body of jewels attacking each other, even if they fight each other, they are carried by the power of magic. But in the eyes of the two genuine magicians, these are not much better than rookies pecking at each other. Because they come and go just a few tricks, there is no change, and there is no decisive ability, a simple war of attrition.
It's also normal to think about it. The positioning of earth elemental creatures in the maze is the first choice is the meat shield, and the second choice is the strategic weapon, which belongs to the siege magic weapon that only magicians use. The city wall without special magic reinforcement can not afford to be touched by high-level earth elemental creatures. It's usually a hole, and there are few accidents.
Two humanoid elemental creatures with gem bodies battled each other, and it was no surprise that the one with the larger gem area had the upper hand. After a hard-fought battle, the afterglow of magic faded on one side, and the other side maintained its original level, and the attacking side finally beat the other person who was lying down and waving the unicorn arm.
Immediately after, there was a picture that someone didn't expect, happening vividly in front of his eyes.
The two elemental creatures seemed to be partially fused, almost half-fleshed together. But this is not the devouring picture that Lin imagined, but one party taking away part of the other's body and replacing the 'impurities' on his own body.
This process is not an easy task for both parties. Although the earth was unable to transmit sounds, Lin seemed to hear a terrible wail, which echoed through the valley and shocked the souls of those nearby.
When the two elemental creatures separated, the unicorn arm of the defeated side disappeared, replaced by a gray, inconspicuous rock arm, even thinner than the original arm. And the one who embezzles has a larger area of gems on his body. And in the process, the composition of his body seems to have been purified, and there has been a subtle change from the original mottled color.
This change is also due to the fact that Lin is a person who uses the logic and method of the program to store and control his own memory, so that he can play 'everyone comes to find ballast' from the memory before and after, and determine the difference.
The same changes weren't just for the original two elemental creatures with gem bodies. Almost all the battlefields where the winners and losers are separated, and there are winners who use the body material of the loser to purify their own actions.
Eventually, the group of elemental creatures who hit the door cheered loudly as if they had won a major victory. At the same time, they raised their defeated men and smashed them to the ground. And once or twice, until it was smashed, then it flew away, leaving behind the devastation and traces of the battle.
Failed elemental creatures, even if they are reduced to pieces, can still move in their more intact parts. These moving elemental creatures gather their bodies as much as they can, or help others collect pieces of their bodies. After arranging and stacking into their original shape, their elven cores extended their tentacle-like ends again, gluing pieces of their bodies back to their original positions.
But not all shattered elemental creatures are able to bind themselves together. Even those companions who have recovered intact and carefully put them together are silent, but no movement is no movement. In Lin's observation, the elven cores of these elemental creatures that cannot recover on their own are all weakened to a state of gradual dissipation.
However, most of the elemental creatures seemed to be emotionless, and they worked together to crumble the pieces of their unrecoverable companions' bodies into powder and sprinkle them on the ground. Other than that, there are no superfluous emotional expressions, just starting to tidy up a messy settlement.
After watching this whole development, the idea in someone's heart, the intuition is that there is a play. I don't know if the various concepts of elemental beings can be simulated by human experience.
