"Demon King? It's the legend... A monster that created the Dark Sonata? It actually exists! ”

"What is this thing? Apostles? ”

After a moment, Anthony exclaimed.

Looking at the skeleton that fell to the ground, it was incredible.

Because most of the previous things about the Dark Continent were just speculations, but now that they have been confirmed, they can't help but have messy thoughts.

"Wow."

On the other side, at the entrance of the passage of the stone statue's pedestal, Men Qi covered his mouth and walked out with a pale face.

After marching outside, I couldn't help but bend over and gag.

Hao was sure that there was no danger in the ground under the passage, so he asked Men Qi to investigate, and as for what was hidden inside, he had already sensed it.

"Not an apostle... At best, he can be regarded as the plaything of the Demon King. ”

Hazy said softly.

"Sit down." Hazy said with a serious expression.

The three of them heard the sound and sat on the ground.

On the one hand, my mind has not yet calmed down, and on the other hand, I am still terrified by the 'residual song' I just heard.

If it weren't for Hao protecting them, even after such a long period of training, the three of them would still not be able to change the outcome of their quick death.

They seem to have grown hugely... It is especially powerless at this moment.

"The truth of the Dark Continent, I see a part... It is both the Garden of Eden and the Magic Box, or more precisely, a large genetically cultivated vessel. Word by word, he told the scene he had just seen in the skeleton's memory.

This made the pupils of the three of them gradually dilated.

"It's not just humans, all the species we've seen before, you haven't noticed... Are they all different from the creatures of the human world? The wildebeest has a conch on its back... The feet and feet of the metal centipede are hooves, and these are the result of genetic evolution, in order to adapt to the environment, in order to adapt to the food chain... All species are changing, all the time, and so are humans. Unconventional mating, procreation, and the creation of new lifeforms... Meluaim is a representative. Human beings are the lowest end of the typical food chain, and they do not have great strength, but they are advanced intelligent life forms. This alone is enough to make humans the best genetic matches, chimeric ants are only inconspicuous creatures in the Dark Continent, but when combined with human genes, they can create terrifying individuals like Meluam..."

Haze explained slowly.

"If we say that the lives we have encountered before are lacking in thinking and weak in soul power. So... The ecological chain of the Dark Continent is gradually transforming from 'savage' to 'civilized', that is, the so-called intelligent creatures, and humans are a vital part of it. That's how those sub-human races, including sub-human monsters, came about... The genes of human beings have been chosen, and in extremely ancient times, it may have been involved in the 'reproductive link' at the beginning of this continent, so that now, many high-level life forms on the dark continent, including the demon king... All maintain a certain human form. I even think that at least seventy or eighty percent of the intelligent life on the Dark Continent are 'descendants' of human beings..."

“……”

The three of them were dumbfounded.

It's not that I don't think it's right, but... It's a bit beyond their imagination.

"As far as I can see from memory... In addition to humans, other creatures are also constantly evolving, according to instinctive 'mating', but even so, humans still can't change their weaknesses, and still have to cling to some powerful creatures... Most humans are slaves or food for powerful species, and a few are able to partner with other races or form unique races and tribes. However, in the Dark Continent, there is an iron law, and that is power... Once the species with human genes gains intelligence and becomes an extradimensional life form... Strictly speaking, it doesn't belong to the category of human beings. It needs to hunt more powerful food because it needs more life energy... Find better genes, follow the food chain, evolve, reproduce instincts, and create your own bloodline. Countless genes, on this land, as vast as the sea of stars, plus the energy resources of this continent itself are rich and magical, so... It also makes the life forms here today diverse and strange..."

"That's why human civilization once had a profound influence on the Dark Continent..."

"I see... That wheat..."

Anthony swallowed as he thought of the ant king, Meluam and Wheat.

A kind of creature in the Dark Continent has emotions with humans, so this kind of thing will definitely happen in the Dark Continent.

After all, human beings have existed for an infinite period of time.

"The king ant and wheat are not a special case."

Hazy nodded, because the thing in Aluja's body was actually the same as Killua.

"The union and evolution of genes is not confined to the flesh... Now, the Dark Continent is still evolving in this area, or rather, it has never stopped. However, humans still can't change the fact that they are weak, just like for chimeric ants, humans are just a kind of 'food' that can optimize their genes... Or it can provide some other intelligent races with good services and convenience of life, that's all. If human beings want to live, they can only choose a few paths here, one is to climb, the other is to evolve, and give up the self. Or run away, escape to a place where you don't have to follow such rules..."

"So, the human world on our island in the lake is a primitive gene pool?" Gebvich opened his mouth rarely, his scalp tingling.

Could this be the reason why the creatures of the Dark Continent have never invaded the human world?

In a sense, protection is actually preserving the purest original genes?

"No... Although it is a primitive gene, it has been eliminated, and the reason why the creatures of the Dark Continent do not go to our world is probably the same as what the captain said before, simply because the resources and energy are too poor. Since it's evolution, it's definitely a good selection of genes, and now there are too many good genes in this land... Our pure-blooded human beings, except for the characteristic of 'intelligent creatures', have long been insufficient. However, for some low-level life forms, they cannot have some kind of 'integration' with the intelligent species that have already established themselves on the dark continent, and humans are still a good choice. It's just a pity that most of the low-level life forms, without sound thinking, can't think of this level, let alone go to our world..."

Men Qi echoed.

"High-level lifeforms are disgusted, and low-level lifeforms have no brains." Anthony summed it up succinctly.

"There's also an uncertainty in that, which is 'feelings', human feelings, and the same is true for chimeric ants. Some powerful species are instincts that can break out of the food chain and have feelings for the weakest humans... It's like the Ant King. ‘’

"But whoever is stained with wisdom... It means exchange and communication, which may be the capital that human beings who are still living on the continent can survive... However, as the captain said, most of the human beings are still 'domestic animals'... There may be some advanced beings who still have some feelings for humans, but I think they are also very few. The characteristics of the Dark Continent and this environment will infinitely amplify the biological instinct... More species will still perform the behavior of hunting, yielding, eating the jungle, and respecting the strong. ”

"I'm afraid there aren't many people who have feelings..."

"East Fringe only wrote the eastern part of the New World Chronicle, and for him, he never came back, there are two possibilities... First, he discovered the diversity of life energy on the continent, and discovered subhuman species, tribes, civilizations, etc., which evolved from different genes, which are far more interesting than the so-called disasters and hopes... Because in a sense, this represents the possibility of human beings, and all species on the Dark Continent are given by human beings. Second, and most realistically, he can't go back. ”

He sighed softly: "This is what I want to say to you..."

The three of them realized something.

"Go back, while it's still too late."

“……”

"Captain!"

Anthony's expression was abrupt, and just as he was about to speak, he was stopped by Ha reaching out to stop him.

"It's not hard to understand... Since we set foot on this land, we have been adapting to the ecological chain here, but we have not yet integrated, because integration requires evolution, and this evolution is not self-selective, it is very passive. Keep following me, and one day in the future, you may suddenly become new beings... Remember that chimeric ants can choose humans for breeding? Turning people into ants... If it weren't for our interference, in the crusade team, Nobu's disciple Pongm, she would have turned into an ant... It's lucky to be able to retain the appearance of some people, but if you become a four-like, you will not be able to return to the human world at all, even if in a sense, you are still alive... But humanity won't accept you either, think about V5's attitude towards the Dark Continent, think about why Nitro explicitly forbade humans to come to this land... The old man may have sensed this, and his decision now looks like it was right. ”

"Because the last point of pure-blooded human beings is also involved in 'evolution', then... Human beings will 'disappear' in the true sense of the word, and they will cease to exist. Of course, on the Dark Continent, there may also be pure-blooded humans, and I did see it from memory... But it is difficult for them to survive, they are like ants who are simply toyed with, and they cannot control their own destiny at all. ”

"If you become like this... Don't talk about outsiders, I'm afraid your relatives and friends won't be able to accept it. ”

Hazy pointed to the few 'deformities' that had died on the side.

"The gatekeeper is right to prevent humans from entering the door... It understands the pure-blooded human race too well, it needs races, it needs compatriots, it needs social groups, and humans cannot be separated from the original world for the sake of evolution. Back then, human beings and some creatures fled, but also voluntarily gave up 'evolution', we are not so thirsty for power, just a certain degree of desire, not suitable for this place at all, history has proven everything. ”

"But... I might be an exception. ”

Hao closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he suddenly smiled: "Let's go, listen to me... Don't try to fight your instincts, you can choose not to evolve, but one day, when your existential threat is challenged, maybe you will take the initiative to choose to evolve, this is the real horror of the Dark Continent, once you choose to evolve, you will never be able to escape from here, let alone go back. It relies on the environment, on its own rules, and will infect and teach every creature that sets foot on this land. ”

"When evolution can give you the strength to be reborn, it will be difficult for you to refuse in order to survive."

"Don't talk about you, even me... I don't dare to say that I have full confidence and can grasp it. ”

"The ancestors of mankind left from here... is the wisest decision. ”

"East F&Flix... Maybe he can't go back, it's not that he doesn't want to go back... Of course, I didn't see him either, it was just my guess. ”

"Let's go back while we still have time."

Hao rarely smiled at them, but now this smile suddenly made the three of them red-eyed.

"Together..."

Menqi's mouth trembled.

Hao shook his head, "I've never come to this world for power, or for my relatives or friends, or for humans, I'm only for myself, so... This game in the Dark Continent has no effect on me. I thought that this first expedition was only tentative... You can also return to the rearmament, but if you don't expect it to go too deep, it will be difficult to leave. ”

"It was indeed my mistake..."

"There's no point in going back now because I'll come back for sure... This is undoubtedly a waste of time. ”

"I'll leave it to you on the human side..."

"I wanted to see if as a pure-blooded human wouldn't be able to triumph if I didn't participate in this evolution... I want to conquer here, I want to overthrow the 'rules' of this continent! ”

"Perhaps, East Flilux... That's what I thought too. ”

"With the most primitive and weak genes, step on the top of this 'genetic Gu breeding land'."

"When you go back, remember to reach a consensus with V5 to prohibit humans from getting involved here."

"Hopefully, one day in the future, I'll go back... If I hadn't changed, I'd see you, but if it did... That's it. ”

"This is the last order I give to you as your captain, and it is also a death order!"

"Go back!"

Keep the human being as and in essence and go back!
