Sword and Sorcery and Martial Arts

Chapter 280
"Treasure your last time. When my lord wakes up, you will be buried here. By then, all the women and wealth here will be ours!" the bandit leader said with a wicked smile.

Rhodes ignored him, but smiled at the sleeping buffalo in front of him.

It was exactly as he had guessed.

He had discussed with that black cat in the conscious world for a long time about this evil god that invaded their conscious world.

Like the black cat, this bison evil spirit belongs to the second-level creature that the chief scholar said has gone out of his own way.

The black cat told Rhodes that they did not divide their strengths in this way.

Non-human animals like them divide their strength into five stages, and these five stages are also not linked to actual combat power.

The first stage is ordinary animals in nature. Although there will be some individual differences, overall strength is within the range of that race.

The second stage is to obtain intelligence similar to that of human beings through some method. Animals that reach this stage will not improve by leaps and bounds.

Just more intelligent than the rest of their kind.

Some animals are born at this stage, such as humans and dragons.

The third stage that the black cats agree with is the second-level organisms that the chief scholar believes must go out of their own way to sublimate their life and soul levels.

For ordinary animals, there are many ways to sublimate, such as developing towards the form of humans or dragons, or entering a conscious world like a black cat, allowing the spiritual power to cause qualitative changes through quantitative changes, and then act on the real world ontology.

If you follow the path of the black cat, you can become a false god and strengthen yourself by recruiting believers.

The fourth stage is to have the body of a human or a dragon. As for the path taken by the black cat, no creature has yet passed through it. It is said that if you pass this path, you will skip the fourth stage and enter the first stage. five stages.

The fifth stage is the third level considered by the chief scholar, becoming a great existence like the Creator God.

Like the bison in front of Rhodes, it has great ambitions. It wants to develop together from multiple routes at the same time.

First entered the conscious world of a place, and then experimented on myself in the conscious world, developing into the forms of humans and dragons at the same time.

So it is an image of a tauren with dragon scales in the conscious world.

As for why animals can sublimate their life and soul level by developing into the form of humans or dragons, according to the black cat, this world prefers these two groups.

Human beings are born as creatures of the second stage, and they can continuously improve their strength without sublimating their life and soul levels.

The same is true for the dragon race, and they even have more advantages. They are born with strengths that countless human beings cannot possess in a lifetime, and they have a long life span. Apart from their relatively poor fertility, they are almost a perfect race.

As for why the world favors humans and dragons, the black cat has only vaguely heard some legends. It is said that only humans and dragons have ascended the throne of the world in the core of the world.

The reason why dragons have a greater advantage than humans is because one of their ancestors stayed on the throne of the world for a longer period of time.

Rhodes still agrees with what Black Cat said earlier.

But the following world prefers humans and dragons, so humans and dragons are born with such high intelligence.

This made Rhodes, a person who believed that biological evolution is "survival of the fittest and survival of the fittest", maintain a skeptical attitude.

Darwin's theory of evolution was questioned because he believed in the idea of ​​acquired inheritance, and the core concept of survival of the fittest and survival of the fittest is not a problem.

The slow-running sheep were eaten by wolves before they had time to give birth, so all the surviving ones were fast-running sheep, and after countless generations, the rest were fast-running sheep.

As for why sheep run fast and slow, it is related to genetic mutations. Mutations are not directional, so humans have tall, short, fat, thin, and different looks. These things have been proved by earth science.

However, Rhodes did not completely deny the legend that the black cat heard. After all, this is a world with countless mysterious powers, and this kind of statement is also possible.

"You have the ability to wake it up." Rhodes came back to his senses and smiled.

He knew very well that the buffalo had been severely injured in the conscious world, and it would be difficult to regain consciousness in a short time.

This is also the difference between humans and ordinary animals. As long as Rhodes has enough mental power, he can be regenerated indefinitely inside, and the lost mental power can be replenished by sleeping or meditating.

But animals of the third stage like them are not as good as ordinary humans like Rhodes.

After this bison died twice, all its countless years of accumulation were consumed, and it returned to its original state. If it died again, it would completely lose the qualification to enter the conscious world, so it could only try to go another way.

"Boy, don't be arrogant, when you cry later." The robber said viciously, "Do you have a beloved woman? I will show you later that your beloved woman is in my..."

Before he could finish his words, he was punched to the ground by Rhode who suddenly rushed in front of him.

Rhodes stepped on his head and slowly increased his strength, "My ears are not good, can you say it again?"

Like many people, he hated hearing threats, especially from someone so overreaching.

The bandit leader under Rhodes' feet couldn't speak at all, and kept screaming loudly and painfully. Rhodes used too much force, causing the bandit leader's head to gradually deform.

When the surrounding robbers saw this situation, some chose to stay where they were, while others rushed forward with weapons roaring.

Rhodes kicked the silent bandit leader towards them, and then he took this opportunity to take out a two-handed sword and instill internal power into the two-handed sword.

He raised his arm and used a whirlwind slash, and the blade wrapped in inner energy chopped all these robbers in half with one sword.

For a while, the scene was very bloody, with broken limbs and arms all over the ground. The robbers who had been cut in half did not die immediately, and crawled on the ground while wailing.

Rhodes noticed that the blood on the ground flowed rapidly towards the direction of the bison on the ground.

The next moment, the buffalo who was sleeping on the deck opened his eyes.

It stared at Rhodes with a pair of blood red eyes.

"What's going on, little brother? Another fight?" Rhodes smiled.

He can overcome it relatively easily in the conscious world, and it will definitely be easier in the real world.

Although it is a false god in the third stage, it does not necessarily have anything to do with combat effectiveness.

What's more, it has been severely injured in the conscious world, causing its body in the real world to be affected. If what the black cat said is true, then this bison has no way to fight in the real world. It can only sleep Can't do anything.

"Human, I have no malice this time." The buffalo lying on the ground stood up and looked at Rhodes vigilantly.

"You mean it was there last time?" Rhodes raised his eyebrows. He remembered that he had seen anyone raise an argument in this way before.

"The past has passed, you have nothing to lose, and you have destroyed all my accumulation for hundreds of years. If you let my believers leave here, we will treat the previous things as if they never happened." It said in a low voice.

Rhodes smiled, "Your desire to survive is not strong enough, you know, I have been thinking about how to make beef more tender and delicious just now."
