Chapter 434: Golden Crow, Bloody Case (4k)
Let the crows also release the spirit of speech? This is the so-called "Raven Project"? It's really ingenious.
Seeing such a scene, Zhao Qing was slightly surprised in his heart, and soon understood the reason: in the final analysis, the half-breed is just a subspecies of the dragon clan with intelligence, and it essentially belongs to the same category as other creatures with dragon blood.
Because the innate physical fitness is not very outstanding, without the help of weapons, the human half-breed fights with those dragon-blooded giant bears, giant wolves, and giant snakes in close combat, and most of them lose the face, even if they degenerate into Deadpool, they still have no advantage in strength.
Most A-class hybrids are even inferior to the "ordinary" polar bear, which is less than a percent of the giant subspecies such as Hydra in terms of strength and defense.
In the era of cold weapons, a giant dragon's blood subspecies tens of meters long and invulnerable was enough to bring extinction to the inhabitants of a radius of hundreds of miles, and it would take tens of thousands of fierce troops to surround and kill.
What really makes them stand out among the dragon subspecies and take over the world domination after the dragon civilization is naturally the wisdom of human beings far beyond other creatures, not only using ordinary tools, but also using dragon spirit and alchemy.
Generally speaking, a small number of D-level and most C-level bloodline hybrids can enter the spiritual vision through the dragon text stimulation in adulthood, and awaken their own words and spirits, the higher the bloodline, the lower the awakening conditions - the exceptionally good A-level can be initially awakened at an early age.
However, humans are not the only intelligent creatures in the world, and according to the "mirror test" of self-perception, experiments have shown that some animals can recognize their own mirror images, and human babies usually acquire this ability at the age of 18 months and above.
In addition to apes, cetaceans, crows, and elephants are all believed to have a certain degree of intelligence, and their corresponding subspecies of dragons, if they have superior intelligence and a high enough bloodline, it is theoretically possible to give birth to individuals who awaken the spirit of speech.
Historically, it has been observed that dragon whales with high-risk vortex can spray up hundreds of meters of water, powerful enough to damage or even destroy a modern warship.
The power of the spirit of words is significantly related to the physique, and it needs enough dragon blood to help bear the pressure when it is released, so pure-blooded dragons also have to hatch a huge dragon body to achieve their complete combat power.
Under the bloodline of the same level, the Dragon King Whale, which is far larger than a human, can easily release an earth-shattering "Super Speech Spirit", which is enough to hang a large group of half-breeds of the same level and fight, and is considered to be the incarnation of the Dragon King.
Of course, this is an extremely rare case after all, the dragon-blooded giant whale will not actively look for another dragon-blooded whale to mate, and it is difficult to find it, and its offspring bloodline is gradually diluted, and it will no longer awaken the spirit of speech, which is destined to be just a flash in the pan.
In the perception of the secret party, the dragon family is a transcendent creature that evolved from reptiles, which is most similar to the dinosaurs of ancient times, and the birds happen to be the descendants of the dinosaurs, and they are undoubtedly more able to adapt to the advantages of dragon blood than other types of animals.
Compared with the cetaceans living in the ocean, the crow's IQ is not inferior, and it is easier to learn from humans and communicate with each other.
A dragon-blooded raven with the wisdom of ordinary people and the ability to release speech spirits can fly in the air and do many things that ordinary hybrids can't do, and even its cultivation cost is much lower, and it can be multiplied on a large scale and mass-produced to form an army.
Such a golden-eyed crow, due to the limitations of its size and intelligence, it is difficult to awaken a high-level speech spirit like a dragon's blood cetacean, but even if it is only a low-level speech spirit, after all, it is also a transcendent ability, equivalent to a small drone, surveying intelligence and assassinating enemies.
Although it is not known how the research base has overcome the difficulties of the Raven Project, at this moment, two of the three blackbirds a hundred meters away are indeed activating the Spirit of Speech.
The realm around them emitted a huge amount of light, as if two golden suns had risen from the underground corridor, which was so dazzling that it was difficult for people to see directly, and those who saw it were like blind.
Flame of the Spirit, the fire spirit of serial number 28, the releaser stimulates the fire element in the field, emitting strong visible light, and the whole field presents the effect of a giant incandescent lamp, so that the enemy who wants to approach cannot open his eyes and basically loses his combat effectiveness.
The intensity of the light was so high that a mixed-race pastor in Texas once used it to deceive him, even though he could only create a ball of light less than a foot in diameter with his ability to place the realm behind his head and claim to be the resurrection of Jesus.
Compared to this liar priest whose bloodline was estimated to be only D-class, the Blazing Sun Domain of the two ravens was undoubtedly much larger, reaching a diameter of more than twenty meters, and the dazzling light was overwhelming, turning everything around them into gold, and the temperature also rose a little.
Even the black feathers on the crow's body were refracted by the strong light, showing a color in gold, which was particularly beautiful - it was a pity that only Zhao Qing could see it clearly.
"It's a bit of a golden crow." She commented on this, saying that the two birds performed quite well, and they looked as strong as falcons, and if they went out to swagger, they would probably be worshiped as gods representing the sun.
It's pretty good to raise a few of them without anything, and the golden crow is with you, and it's bright everywhere.
After combing his feathers, the third raven squinted his eyes, flew quietly under the cover of the golden light, and secretly looked at the faces of the comer, and then found that there were two strangers, and hurriedly shouted: "Quack! Whoever comes stops, can you dare to use your name? β
"What's the matter with you guys?" Knowing that the raven who can speak spiritually basically has the IQ of a human teenager, which is enough to surpass all animals of the non-dragon subspecies, so it can communicate, Chen Zheng stabilized his emotions, covered his eyes and asked:
"Did you run out of the cage and try to sneak out into the outside world?"
"Of course! We've had enough of being here! The raven flapped its wings, stopped on a steel pipe, and replied in a human-like voice: "The people in the laboratory are dead, and no one can stop us from running to freedom!" β
All dead? Did the raven do it? Zhao Qing was slightly shocked in his heart, and noticed that there was no bloody breath on the other party's beak, it should not have been stained with human blood, and his attitude did not seem to be very vicious, this matter was quite suspicious.
Hearing this, Chen Zheng's eyes showed grief and indignation, and he waved his hand to push away the blade of Murayu, and rushed towards the raven, as if he wanted to take revenge, but unfortunately it was lightly dodged, and instead broke into the realm of the blazing sun, he couldn't see clearly, and almost didn't hit the wall.
"You'd better run for your life first!" The raven flew sideways, gave the weak Chen Zheng a blow to the head with his claws, and then grabbed his shoulders and dragged him to the ground, saying disdainfully: "Don't be bitten to death by the vicious dog later." β
Just as it was suppressing the human being and feeling happy about it, Zhao Qing suddenly appeared next to the raven, and his fingers had already grabbed its wings and pressed it against the wall.
"Let go of me! Let me go! Wow! "The golden-eyed raven struggled wildly with its eagle-like strength, attacking desperately with its rim and claws, but to no avail, it was painful.
Seeing this, the other two ravens hurriedly rushed over to the rescue, but their strength was not enough and they were not lethal, and they were tied to their legs by Zhao Qing on the spot.
"And the dogs in there? Dragon's Blood Dog? She casually helped Chen Zheng up, and drew a wall of qi to stop his attack on the raven: "Imitation of Odin's frostwolf's experiment? β
"The ravens and wolves often cooperate, just like the ravens and frostwolves that Odin followed him." Realizing that the killer may not be a raven, Chen Zheng explained: "So we purchased a batch of Cerberus from a breeding farm in Siberia, hoping to use the crow colony to command them and develop the ability of 'Raven Dogs' to fight together." β
"If there is no accident, these dragon's blood fierce dogs should have been injected with tranquilizers and locked in the inner storeroom, and there will be no risk of escaping." He analyzed: "But the raven flock is different, although there are not many individuals who awaken the spirit of speech, but together, it is completely possible to get out of trouble. β
"Once the crows break through the several barriers of the underground base, escape outside, and reproduce in large numbers, not only will the secret of the dragon bloodline be revealed, but human society will also usher in a strong competitor."
It's as if the humans who were only slaves of the dragon clan in the past "defeated" and replaced the former, and the ravens who escaped from the laboratory, although they were originally only tactical weapons in the Chen family's plan, may also have the potential to keep up with humans in the future.
It's like history repeating itself.
Zhao Qing couldn't help but guess that the original human hybrid race should have been born much earlier than the death of the Black King, probably for similar reasons, such as as as a supplement to the dragons when they fought each other.
"So what do you do to control the ravens on a daily basis?" With the three birds and the two of them, he walked deeper, and clicked on their dumb holes to stop the release of the blazing sun, Zhao Qing was speechless: "It's all up to the consciousness of these birds? β
"Class society, divided rule." Chen Zheng explained humbly: "All the ravens here are led by a raven who has awakened the spirit of speech, and it is precisely by relying on the high IQ of the 'Raven King' and its teaching of the crow flock that more ravens have the wisdom to meet the standards." β
If there is no social environment, human beings who have no elders to raise from childhood to adulthood are just high-level orangutans, hairy and blood-drinking beasts, and after returning to civilization, they will not be able to learn to speak, and their thinking ability will be completely degraded.
"After the special guidance of the experimenters, among the crows, the king, the senators, the nobles, the commoners, and the young children, from top to bottom, have formed a class differentiation and reached the stage of civilization of the country. And we only need to encircle the king and the senator, a dozen ravens, to ensure control over them. β
Chen Zheng added: "The crows are a highly social race, and when we deliberately block the news and do not inform them of the existence of ordinary ravens in the outside world, we have mastered the upper class, so we don't need to worry about the rebellion of the lower classesβnot to mention that we have also developed some spies among the crows, and every once in a while we inform the overseers of the information that the 'nobles' are exchanging information about." β
"But you've lost control of the crows." Zhao Qing sighed: "The intrigues and tactics of human beings, the strategy of differentiation, may not be fully effective against other animals, under the leadership of a far-sighted and ambitious crow king, the crows planned to escape from this place a few years ago, united all the ravens to hide from you, and took advantage of the opportunity of foreign invasion to successfully break through the hypnosis matrix, high-voltage power grid, ghost maze, automatic gas valve of the four mechanisms, only the last step, you can escape." β
"The Raven King originally planned to save a few breeders who usually had a good relationship, but he couldn't resist the brutality and horror of the herd of Cerberus, so he had to choose to give up and lead most of the ravens to break through the protective measures of the base."
"How do you know that?" Chen Zheng was taken aback, and his heart was incredulous: "Who told you?" And the invasion of foreign enemies, what is going on? β
"I just heard that." Zhao Qing opened his mouth leisurely and explained: "These ravens often speak in their mouths on weekdays, which has become a habit, and there are no living people in the base, so they communicate directly in Mandarin, and the voice comes from afar and enters my ears." β
"In addition, according to the information of the crows, not long ago, in addition to us, an 'invisible' person broke into this place through another entrance, killed several important people in charge of the base, and released the Cerberus in the internal warehouse. Now, these bloodthirsty dogs, seemingly no longer able to communicate with ravens, are frantically eating human corpses. β
While she was talking, under the curses and pecking attacks of several ravens, a huge fierce dog suddenly appeared around the far corner and silently trotted towards the three of them, chewing on a human rib in its mouth.
Its shoulder height is about the same as Zhao Qing's, its size and weight are no less than that of an adult lioness, its eyes are dark golden, its body is covered with mottled scales, its facial bones are uneven, it looks like a skeleton, and the muscles on its body are knotted like the roots of an old tree.
This is undoubtedly a fearsome subspecies of dragons, or canine Deadpool, whose genes have been modified by dragon blood to make them more dangerous and bloodthirsty than ligres, running fast enough to match a cheetah and biting like a crocodile.
After the first "Cerberus" appeared, several more identical dragon-blooded dogs came out, the strongest of which actually had four red golden eyes, similar to the Cerberus called Garm in Norse mythology, with a deep mutation and a ferocious look.
β¦β¦
A moment ago, in the depths of the Chen family's underground base, in a computer room where a mainframe computer and related electronic equipment were installed, a man who looked almost exactly like Chen Zheng outside, only more robust, sighed and put down the walkie-talkie in his hand.
"Sent by the organization? Can't wait? β
If Zhao Qing was here, he would definitely see the clue immediately, and understand that Chen Zheng, who took refuge in him, was actually just a cloned clone, so his performance was always a little abnormal, he had limited understanding of many events, and he had no loyalty to the family.
It's no wonder that his body is extremely weak, this is because there are still some limitations in the technology of replicating hybrids, human science is not strong enough to completely replicate the dragon bloodline, and the lifespan of clones is far shorter than that of the main body.
Behind him, an old man with a European appearance pushed open the heavy iron door of the computer room, and then swiped a black card in front of the laser scanner, this uninvited guest had gray hair and iron-gray eyes, and the handsomeness of his youth could still be seen on his emaciated cheeks.
"I wonder, why? Are those two secret plans really that important? I was just a treasurer. Just come here to kill your mouth, aren't you afraid of angering our Chen family? β
The real Chen Zheng bloodline was obviously not just an ordinary A-grade, a pair of golden pupils ignited a raging flame, releasing an astonishing majesty, and when he turned around, he happened to meet the old man's eyes, and activated his spirit of words.
Yan Ling Senluo, a high-level spirit that can only be used by the White King's bloodline, can control the opponent's spirit with his eyes, forcibly drag the enemy into the illusion, and write his own thoughts into the opponent's mind.
The Releaser can induce or even force the target to see any sight, such as a burning hell or a loved one who has passed away, and can reap the other person's life in reality when the target is stuck in a fantasy and unable to act.
At a glance, there is a lot of everything.
And the hypnosis of his clone is nothing more than the inferior version of Sen Luo.
During the Tang Dynasty, some of the White King bloodlines of the Eight Families of the Snake Sect flowed into China, and from this point of view, Chen Zheng is likely to be the descendant of those envoys sent to the Tang Dynasty. But given the Chen family's superb biotechnology, this point is still quite doubtful.
It can be seen that the person has not avoided his pupil technique, Chen Zheng is very determined, and is about to pull out the dagger on his waist to defend himself and seal his throat with a knife, when suddenly, the uninvited guest blinked, and with a shout in his mouth, countless sharp wind blades shot out from his body.
In an instant, Chen Zheng turned into a bloody man, his body was cut to pieces, the scene was extremely bloody, only the head was still intact, he forcibly opened his injured eyes, and said hoarsely: "Bai Ze? Vampire Scythe? How can you have both of these spirits? β
"It's not two spirits, it's a special spirit that can bind all kinds of 'spirits'." The visitor corrected his mistake: "Why do you think I can break into this place alone? Relying on the interference of nature by the 'snake' on electronic instruments. β
"It turns out that you are the Lin ......" Chen Zhenggang wanted to continue talking, but saw a group of dark blue fireflies suddenly emerge from the other party's sleeves, landing on his face, igniting a phosphorus fire like appendages.
Ignoring his half-sentence before he died, the comer skillfully opened the base host that Chen Zheng was operating just now, mobilized complex procedures, and opened a large number of monitoring windows while deleting a large number of files.
Countless translucent shadows rushed out from this machine room, and the dense wind blade realm quickly expanded to a hundred meters away, pouring in from the doorways where each room was suddenly forcibly opened, and launched a brutal killing that had never been seen before.
"The 'Vampire Scythe' consumed this time is a bit much, and it looks like it will take a while to replenish it." The old man muttered to himself, and with a wave of his hand, several groups of fireflies burning with phosphorus fire swooped on the key wires in the computer room, causing them to short-circuit, ignite, and explode.
Looking at the sickles that threw themselves into the flames and never returned, a trace of remembrance and sadness flashed inexplicably on his face.
"Sometimes, a family that is flattering and exquisitely flattered will only offend more people." A delicate golden mask was taken out of the camera obsca in the room, and the old man left one last word and turned to leave.
