Chapter 209: Birds and Beasts by the Water
The gaze of the earth line leaned out along the core of the report of the dragon's nest near the mountain.
The presence of Marsh Dragon Yar is quite striking.
Compared to the other Nest Dragon Lords, Swamp Dragon Yar is the only Nest Dragon Leader who does not reside in the Jukai Dragon's Lair.
There is no other reason, it is precisely because there is no water environment near the dragon's nest in the sea of trees.
Compared to other nest dragons, it has basically not gained additional, new ability evolution.
The Ground Line only gave it a basic iteration of the tag level increase, and the attempted evolution also focused on the corrosiveness that the swamp dragons evolved with the directional convergence of the black-scaled kobolds with reference to it.
However, this also makes them corrosive to an exceptional height.
Jixing glanced at several of the main tags of the swamp dragon Yar.
[Dragon's Blood (Swamp Dragon)] This is its core tag, and in addition to giving it resistance to the water element, the most important thing is corrosive bodily fluids.
Relying on corrosive bodily fluids, swamp dragons can spew "acid breathing" by spitting bodily fluids, killing enemies from a distance. jújíá?y.?? m
It is precisely with this label as the core, step by step, that the labels of the swamp dragons also show signs of special evolutionary direction.
Although there is no clear active skill on the label.
However, other specialized sites have been clearly differentiated from other nest dragons.
For example, the label [Scale Feather Specialization], although it doesn't look much different from the label of the Wyverns, has actually differentiated a lot.
With the increase of the individual base, there are more and more directions of differentiation.
Some of the scale feathers of the swamp dragon go in the direction of the crocodile, and the dermis differentiates again, interlacing with the original scale feathers to form a subcutaneous osteogenic structure, and some of the scale feathers are in specific parts, like the original Jurassic hunting dragon and crocodile, turning to perceptual specialization, and can keenly perceive the vibration and pressure changes of the water body.
Some swamp dragons' scales are in the direction of the shield scales of cartilaginous fish, which are buried under the skin, and a groove structure is formed on the outer layer of scales, which evolves in the direction of reducing resistance, and the concave and convex ridged structure also gives their scales and feathers a certain lethality.
Some swamp dragons also followed the direction of hollow scales, which at first may have been formed by the curling of their feathers into scales due to entering the water, and at first there were a large number of evolutions in the direction of warmth, but later, the earth traveled to find that from their bodies, the inside of these hollow scales was filled with highly corrosive body fluids.
If you are injured and the scales are shattered, then these bodily fluids will splash out.
There are also some specialized ones that can secrete non-water-soluble, corrosive bodily fluids from the skin and on the surface of the body.
In addition, it has gone in two directions: fish and amphibians, and some of the mucus on the body is in the direction of water retention and water retention, and some is in the direction of reducing friction.
It's just that for these corrosive slimes, the perspective of the earth line is naturally more focused on the combat side of the enemy, perhaps as a defense or even a killing mechanism.
Compared to other nest dragons, even those swamp dragons that formed bones under the skin have become more and more slender, and the others have more or less snake and eel feelings.
If they continue to evolve in this way, it really feels like they may go in a similar evolutionary direction.
What will it turn out to be in the end?
Crush enemies with the power of body curls while the slime on the surface of the body corrodes the flesh and blood of the enemy, and then spray highly corrosive acid from the mouth, at the vulnerable position of the prey?
Then, their bodies may need a layer of defense that is not so easy to break through.
In addition, their neck position, which gradually grows larger, thicker and shorter, is obviously moving towards integration with the head and body, and the place that resembles the gill mouth is an important area for corrosive mucus secretion, and if the enemy launches a melee attack or even a direct bite in the mouth, then the result can be imagined.
Deal with these swamp dragons by avoiding melee combat as much as possible, or if you have adequate defenses.
However, as a decision-maker, what kind of individual materials will be selected by the Earth Guild as the materials for artificial evolution and iteration is the ultimate direction of this swamp dragon legion, just like the concentrated label on the swamp dragon Yar, although some of it is obtained by itself during artificial evolution, but more of it is up to him to select the materials of other swamp dragon individuals for convergent evolution and synthesis.
All sorts of thoughts flashed through Earth's mind, but soon, with a special rhythm that sounded underwater, the voice of Jarr, the leader of the swamp dragons, sounded, dragging him from his scrutiny of several swamp dragons to his surroundings—
Following his orders, Swamp Dragon Yar took an extended core and traced all the way up the body of water, following a shrinking stream, stopping at a small waterhole that could barely hide the shape of Swamp Dragon Yar.
At this location, it was possible to perceive the fluctuating vision of the environment within a radius of 600 meters by expanding the core, and captured the traces of several birds and beasts.
It was a group of creatures that were similar to the birds and beasts that Jixing had killed in the first place, and they looked like birds, but they were too different from birds in terms of anatomy, and they were more like mammals.
The distinction is even stronger as they travel through the earth.
It's just that, unlike the debuff special attack direction taken by the Feather Flying Dragon in the nest dragon, there is no specialized physical attack, so the front and rear limbs are close to each other, and these birds and beasts have very strong forelimbs and wing hands, which are obviously larger than the hind legs-
And because the wings are born from the sides of the forearms, their forelimb paws are not affected.
If the wing claws of the winged wyvern are the wide palms formed by the specialized physical attack of the claws, the wings and claws are connected together, and the wings are made of flesh and blood between the claws, then these birds and beasts are more like a wing on the forearm, the palm is still the palm, and the claw is still the claw.
Their wings seem to have been formed by one of the outer forks of the radius ulna, and their flight, which does not involve the position of the front end of their claws at all, is different from the specialized supporting bones of the wings of pterosaurs and birds.
And the reason for their arrival, the earth line soon understood-
Hunt.
A herd of hornnose horses was drinking two or three hundred meters up from the small waterhole where the marsh dragon Yar was hiding.
And this group of birds and beasts landed directly from the sky and pounced on this group of wildebeest drinking water.
The furious wind blade formed by the familiar and different wind elemental that was violently chimetic with the life force instantly swept away the herd of beasts formed by thirty or forty hornnosed horses.
And the most eye-catching thing is that among this group of birds and beasts, a bird and beast with a nearly square jaw suddenly opened its mouth, and in the roaring storm, it spit out a roaring sound, and with the agitation of the storm, there were circles of ripple-like, ring-shaped edges of invisible bombs, bombarded the body of this group of horned nose horses.
At this moment, Dixing's thoughts paused.
Material.
ps: The image of the swamp dragon can refer to the toothless boy in how to train the dragon
"Brother Shen!"
"Hmm!"
Shen Changqing walked on the road, and when he met someone he knew well, he would say hello to each other or nod his head.
But it doesn't matter who it is.
There was no superfluous expression on everyone's face, as if they were very indifferent to everything.
on this.
Shen Changqing is used to it.
Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, it is an institution that maintains the stability of Great Qin, and its main responsibility is to kill demons and monsters, and of course there are some other side jobs.
Arguably.
In the Demon Suppression Division, everyone has a lot of blood on their hands.
When a person is accustomed to seeing life and death, then he will become indifferent to many things.
When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but over time he got used to it.
The Demon Suppression Division is huge.
The people who can stay in the Demon Suppression Division are all powerful masters, or people who have the potential to become masters.
Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.
Among them, the Demon Suppression Division is divided into two professions, one is the town guard and the other is the demon exterminator.
Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Division starts with the lowest level of demon slayer.
Then step by step, he is expected to become a town guard.
Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level of the demon slayer envoys.
Have memories of the predecessor.
He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.
It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of an attic.
Unlike other places full of slaughter, the attic here seems to stand out from the crowd, and in the bloody Demon Suppression Division, it presents a different tranquility.
At this time, the attic door is open, and there are occasional people entering and exiting.
Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment, and then stepped in.
Access to the attic.
The environment has changed in vain.
A burst of ink fragrance mixed with the faint smell of blood came to his face, making his brow furrow instinctively, but quickly stretched.
The smell of blood on everyone's body in the Demon Suppression Division is almost impossible to clean.
