ACT029: Pseudo-sapient beings

As for the definition and requirements of "intelligent beings", the races that have entered this world can give more or less the same answer, the most basic condition is that they can think, know how to create, and can communicate with each other in complex languages.

At present, there are 6 intelligent races known in the world, namely elves, dwarves, goblins, orcs, humans, and dragons who have always been secretive. In addition to these, there are several other organisms that are expected to join the ranks in the last millennium, but this does not include the necrococats as "disaster creatures".

As the main victims of this terrible parasite, the elves and humans still know very little about this creature, only that they come from deep underground cavities that cannot be reached by surface creatures, and the purpose of burrowing out of the ground to attack humans is to reproduce and lay eggs, and the interval between each outbreak is 500~1000 years.

Elven disaster biology experts believe that the necrocarpus can improve its combat effectiveness by parasitic large creatures and obtain nutrients from the host, but in fact, these bugs can do more!

It is this phenomenon that makes the elves mistakenly believe that there are "head worms", and the necros have also targeted the elves and humans from the third outbreak, and those beasts and livestock with underdeveloped brains have become "worms".

However, the time for which this snatched "wisdom" can be maintained is very limited, and all living people who are parasitized by the necrocarp, at least two or three days, or at most a week, will definitely die due to excessive toxin accumulation, and then the corpse will begin to decompose according to the laws of nature, and it will not be long before it will become a pile of white bones, and the necrogens can only look for the next "target".

After removing the time required for assimilation, the wisdom gained by the necroacters can only last for less than 2 weeks, and when the brain flower rots into a puddle of "brain sauce", everything returns to the original point. But there may be "exceptions" to everything, and coincidences are everywhere!

In the fourth outbreak nearly 500 years ago, several corpses that had just been drilled into the ground ran into a hospital and found the remains of a male elf who had just been embalmed in the "specimen showroom".

It was this quick-moving corpse that became the longest-lasting corpse ever to gain wisdom because it was parasitic on a corpse that did not decay. Although the fourth outbreak was effectively contained with the help of the Elven Wide Area Dispersal Circle, and all the Necrokines were driven back by the third week, this one managed to withdraw to the lair with its body, and found a dry and cold underground cavern to hibernate.

More than 500 years have passed in the blink of an eye, and the dead walkers who did not complete their reproduction tasks in the last outbreak ended their dormancy early and poured their nests out of the ground again, so the fifth outbreak can also be regarded as the "second half" of the fourth. The regrouped Necroacter was caught off guard by a smart leader because of a smart leader.

After the victory in the first battle, the leader of the swarm realized the importance of "wisdom"! In order to let more of its fellow race gain wisdom, it asked the other necrokines to attack only humans as much as possible, and also ordered them to capture those humans who were immune to the plague, intending to keep them and "raise" them and take the sustainable route.

In the process of capturing humans, the "head" has not yet completed the brain assimilation of other kinds, so he accepts two humans as "little brothers", a gangster Liao En, and the other is the chess piece owner Brian. The former is the only one who begs for mercy on their knees, while the latter is blackmailed by the "Chief" because they happened to capture his daughter when they were capturing "human larvae" (raiding kindergarten).

With the assistance of these two people, the materials for the construction of the "human ranch" and the appropriate [***] are being collected in an orderly manner, Joseph led those parasites back and forth to catch more than 2,000 survivors, but this person is not enough to divide the huge number of corpses, so the knowledge of surface creatures is still stuck in the "head" of the cold weapon era more than 500 years ago, and immediately asked Brian to lead the army to attack the surrounding countries for it.

"Let's hope that airship can get the news out......"

Annoyed by the conversation with the Chief, Brian orders the stinky, dirty parasites to get out of the way and walk home alone. In the battle a few hours ago, although he shot and wounded Kabbalah (Chrysanthemum) and captured Weiss and the others, he foolishly let the Enterprise go, and did not use his proud skill "Air Burst Arrow" to knock it down.

The many times of aiding and abusive, Brian has always felt guilty about countless victims. He had tried to kill the "Chief" many times, but when he thought of his daughter's safety, he had to swallow his anger and continue to work for these monsters.

Brian, who couldn't help but fall into deep thought, walked down the road like this, and by the time he reacted, he had already gone over and ran to the Duke's Palace. The thought that this place was now the residence of that scumbag made Brian feel disgusted in his eyes, and immediately turned around and walked back, but at that moment, he noticed a figure flashing in the window of the duke's office, although he couldn't see it clearly, he was sure it was a woman's figure!

"Where's the woman from here?"

Because he was worried that this guy would do some "disgusting things", Brian had always disagreed to the other party's request to "come ten or eight maids", and in order to prevent him from doing some "more disgusting things", the parasites working here were all gentlemen. If that didn't stop him, then Brian would have to admit it...... The other party is indeed very "dio"!

Out of a soldier's intuition, Brian sensed that something was wrong, but perhaps because of the hard work and conscience torture that followed, Brian made a rather mistaken decision, which was to enter the Duke's palace alone with his sword in hand, completely forgetting that as a "shooter", he should avoid melee combat as much as possible.

Cautiously entering the gate, the courtyard was cluttered with footprints and piles of various materials, so that Brian could not tell from the marks on the ground that anyone had passed by recently, so he walked towards the main residence of the Duke's Palace.

Pushing open the door of the main house, it was deserted and there was no half figure in sight. As a living person, whether psychologically or physically, Liao En could not accept the presence of those foul-smelling parasites in the place where he lived, so this house was Liao En's world alone, and here Brian finally found a clue from the mud footprints on the expensive carpet.

"This damn scumbag ......"

Brian vaguely recognized the footprints of a woman in the footprints on the ground, so he thought that Liao En finally couldn't hold back his "beastly desire" and got two women from the cell, and it was very likely that they were the owners of the two female chess pieces that he had just caught today. Thinking of this, Brian immediately pulled out his matching sword and strode towards the duke's bedroom.

Fortunately, the size of Weiss shoes is exactly the same as that of Liao En, and the sole pattern is exactly the same, so Brian didn't find out that the other party had brought back an extra man, otherwise he would definitely be aware of the abnormality, instead of rushing to the bedroom with the idea of "saving the two girls from the silver thief" like now.

"Lian, you brute!"

With a roar, Brian kicked open the door of the master bedroom, he saw that there seemed to be two people bulging under the quilt of the big bed in the room, walked forward in a few steps, lifted the quilt, and was immediately disgusted by the two "inflatable dolls" made of silk pillows below, but there was no trace of the scum around.

"What about people?"

Brian, who broke into the door, pounced directly, and on the other side, Adele, who had a keen sense of hearing, spotted him when the other party entered the door, and the three immediately untied the handcuffs and jumped out of the window with the reluctant Liao En.

The three of them have only one goal, and that is to capture the "leader" of the corpse worm alive! Since the other party has the ability to order the other corpses, it is not impossible to control it to make the other corpses fall back into the ground. Weiss even hopes to use it to rally the entire Necrowalker horde before contacting the outside world and wiping them out with heavy weapons.

The ideal is beautiful, but they don't know the real surname of the necrocarp at this time, and when the other necrogens have also completed the assimilation of the host brain, then they will have countless "leaders" who can take on the command work!

After escaping the Duke's Palace, the four of them made a beeline for the High Barracks, located less than 100 meters from the villa, where the owners of the Principality of Nadal's pawns were stationed, and the armory was stocked with a large number of weapons. Weiss, their guys, might be there, too.

Because of the "humanoid pass" of Liao En, none of the parasites encountered along the way launched an attack, and the three rushed to the door of the armory, and Adele directly used "qi" and kicked the heavy iron door away with a fierce roundhouse kick. As soon as the three of them entered the door, they found their respective weapons on the nearest shelf, and after Adele took off her wand, she glanced at Weiss thoughtfully, and suddenly proposed.

"Ling Lan, you shouldn't be loyal yet, right?"

"Then join me in swearing allegiance to Weiss, we need to increase our combat power!"

In the game of King Chess, the king does not have the ability to add buffs to his subordinates, but a "team" has a bonus for its members. This means that the "above" pawn has an advantage over the "retail". Therefore, in order to increase her chances of victory, Adele hopes that the three of them can form a team and fight side by side.

As soon as Adele's proposal came out, Wes's little heart jumped to the ground. He'd been working on the idea for more than a day, but he hadn't dared to speak. At this time, Adele brought it up, saving him the worry of opening his own mouth, and now the only thing he was worried about was that Ling Lan would disagree, but when he opened his mouth, Weiss almost highlighted a mouthful of old blood.

"Okay, but can Wright?"

“......”

In the face of the girl's shy inquiry, Wei Sixin said I can't look down on you?
