Gamers Are Fierce

As he spoke, the village chief paused and said with a wry smile: From the current perspective, my ancestors may have wanted to wash away the negative influence of the ghoul bloodline through intermarriage with outsiders, so that the people of the tribe would gradually become Normal human being.

So as to get closer to the holy and great holy mountain.

According to common sense, there is nothing wrong with this plan, but...

Li Ang asked: There is a slight deviation in the plan?

That's right.

The village chief nodded and said: The bloodthirsty impulses of the tribesmen were indeed suppressed at first. The appearance of the newborn is exactly the same as that of a normal human being. There will no longer be racial characteristics such as red eyes, sharp nails, and a large number of veins.

Even if you don’t eat flesh and blood and only eat vegetarian food, there is no problem at all.

However, as time went by, in a certain generation when our village population reached its peak, the bloodthirsty impulse engraved in the blood returned - by then the village population was already too large, and it was no longer enough to just rely on hunting on the edge of the forest or raising livestock. Can't meet the demand for meat,

So we can only take some special methods...

The village chief paused for a moment, seemingly noticing the expressions on the players' faces, and hurriedly explained: Don't worry, everyone, our ancestors have never attacked the braves, and we have never maliciously harmed any brave team.

When we release trials, we occasionally ask the brave team to go to the underground palace to bring back some monster corpses.

Or, uh, when the hero dies, he is buried in the village cemetery in the name of the special funeral rituals of the Holy Mountain - in fact, you know...

The village chief rubbed his palms helplessly and embarrassedly. It was really embarrassing to tell the story about the villagers of the Guardian Village eating the corpses of the dead heroes under the pretext of funeral rituals.

But he had no choice. Otherwise, the other party would not trust him.

Moreover, his generation, or even the previous generation, had never seen a living brave man. This kind of thing only existed in word of mouth from generation to generation of elders and was regarded as a village secret.

It was only because the village was about to decline naturally that Li Ang and others had to be informed.

According to my father's and grandfather's estimation, the root cause of progeria is the irreversible decline of blood vessels caused by a long-term lack of blood food. The additional reason may be the destruction of the gate of the Holy Mountain.

The village chief said helplessly: You must have seen that we raise chickens, ducks, cattle, sheep and other livestock in our village.

However, even if the newborns in the village are allowed to eat the blood and flesh of livestock since childhood, it will not be able to cure or even alleviate the symptoms of progeria. This is why I say that progeria belongs to the category of miracles that cannot be cured by conventional means.

Sometimes I wonder if our village lost its pure bloodline due to intermarriage with outsiders and was abandoned by the Holy Mountain...

...

Li Ang listened to the village chief's story quietly, rubbing his dragon head and beard and lost in thought.

David thought for a while and asked: Well... have you ever tried hunting monsters in the underground palace?

Perhaps it is because the flesh and blood of livestock does not contain extraordinary energy, so it has no effect after eating it.

this...

The village chief smiled bitterly and said: We think so too, but you should have seen, Lord Brave, that the premature aging disease has made our village poorly defended, and the extraordinary power in our blood has long been lost.

Even if he ignores his ancestors' instructions and plans to actively hunt the monsters in the underground palace,

We don’t have that strength anymore.

Is it equivalent to an infinite loop?

Embry said casually: “No strength—can’t get monster flesh and blood—progeria worsens—strength declines.

If we don't come here, in a few years your village will reach the point where an eight-year-old child looks like an eighty-year-old?

The village chief smiled bitterly and said with a bleak expression, It's almost there. According to the statistical results, progeria in the village is getting earlier and more severe.

The premature death of young people makes it impossible for us to accumulate knowledge and technology, and it is difficult to even preserve it.

It takes five years to train a craftsman who can use and repair external props.

It will take at least ten years to cultivate a craftsman who can know how to dismantle, imitate, manufacture, and study external props.

It was not easy to train a craftsman pilot, but within a year or two, he became very old.

Sometimes even the next generation of apprentices dies before they can be trained.

In a few years, no one may even be able to read and understand the documents in the library.

I have seen this kind of bloodline decline before.

Hohenheim said slowly: If a vampire with a low bloodline level lives in a low free energy area for a long time and is not supplemented by blood food, his skin will gradually become pale and full of wrinkles, his hair will fall off, and his thinking will be slow. Sluggish, gradually losing his mind, and eventually degenerating into a monster in the form of a humanoid albino bat.

The same goes for werewolves;

If it is not supplemented by moonlight, it will become a pure mindless beast.

Hmm... I would like to ask, has your village recorded any changes in free energy levels in the past?

What? The village chief was stunned for a moment and didn't understand.

Hohenheim patiently explained: It's about the intensity of the surrounding energy. Has it changed over the decades? Or has it been like this since thousands of years ago.

this...

The village chief hesitated for a moment and said, I don't know too well. When the shadow monster attacked fifty years ago, it destroyed many buildings in the village, killed many people, and lost some information.

The information I know is limited.

After all, that was something that happened a generation ago.

All right.

Hohenheim nodded regretfully. If the other party kept records, then he might be able to figure out the reason why this area at the foot of the mountain is a low-demon territory.

This is normal, just like ancient human civilizations in history would not record the world’s oxygen concentration at that time.

To accurately detect the concentration of free energy in the air, you need to use professional knowledge and equipment, and be able to understand the nature of free energy.

Hohenheim thought for a while and asked again: So, have you ever thought about leaving?

If we leave the forest, or even leave this island, and go to the outside world, maybe we can stop this decline of bloodline, right?

leave?

The expression on the village chief's face was a little strange. He hesitated for a moment and said slowly: Well, although leaving the scope of the Holy Mountain will be considered an act of treason and will be regarded as a shame, he will be expelled from the village and removed from the family tree.

But in order to continue the race, there will always be people who try - some of our ancestors try to leave the Holy Mountain Island, or leave secretly on their own, or go to the outside world with a team of braves,

However, after they walked out of the forest, no one came back - and the subsequent brave team never brought back any information about our tribe.

Then you are trapped here waiting to die.

Emboli smacked his lips, Is this a blessing from the Holy Mountain to you, or a curse from the Holy Mountain?

The village chief moved his lips, as if he wanted to refute Amboli's slander of the Holy Mountain, but he swallowed the words before he spoke - presumably he would often be confused or even question this in private.

Li Ang slowly opened his eyes and nodded, I already have the general information.

The village chief had a worried expression on his face, Then...is there anything you can do?

I have to experiment first.

Li Ang waved his hand and did not give a guarantee. Instead, he asked the village chief to summon villagers of all ages, genders, and physical conditions in the village to gather in the village square.

The more sample evidence, the better.

The survival of the race was at stake, so the village chief and village guards quickly summoned hundreds of villagers to stand in the village square.

Li Ang got a wooden table from somewhere, with a red cloth covering it.

He sat behind the table and asked the villagers to line up and come forward one by one to receive his diagnosis.

More than ten minutes later, Li Ang preliminarily checked the physical condition of the villagers. Instead of sending the villagers away, he went to a secluded corner with the village chief and other companions to discuss.

I see.

Li Ang said, The premature aging disease currently prevalent in your village is indeed the irreversible decline of blood vessels caused by the long-term lack of blood food.

This source of blood food is, to be precise, humans who have the same appearance as you.

The village chief was stunned for a moment, Ah this...

There's nothing to be embarrassed about. In the food chain, it's normal to kill and eat. I'm not a demon hunter.

Li Ang waved his hand calmly and said casually: This proves that you did not deceive us just now. You have indeed not eaten people for a long time.

He has even forgotten why his own race eats people.

Well...

The village chief asked in confusion: What do you mean?

“Rabbit, horse, cow, sheep,

Lion, tiger, cat, dog...

Li Ang said calmly: Herbivores eat grass, and carnivores eat meat.

Regardless of whether animals eat plants or meat, the essential purpose of eating is to absorb enough energy and materials from the outside world to meet their own survival needs.

Vampires suck blood and ghouls eat corpses for the same reason - to survive.

However, seeing the essence through the phenomenon,

Why can't vampires survive without sucking blood?

Why do ghouls become debilitated if they don't eat corpses?

Can any kid tell me?

Different occult schools have different explanations for why vampires suck blood,

Hohenheim didn't pay attention to Leon's seemingly provocative words. He thought about it and said cautiously: Some schools of thought believe that vampires suck blood in order to absorb the spiritual power from ordinary people's bodies.

Some schools of thought believe that it is to indulge in sinful karma to nourish one's own blood energy;

Some schools of thought believe that it is influenced by the ancestors of the blood race - if you do not eat human blood regularly, you will have a soul-based withdrawal reaction.

Our bell tower...

After cooperation with the vampires and a series of scientific and rigorous experiments, I am more inclined to the last explanation...

Seemingly noticing the strange looks from other teammates, Hohenheim said calmly: Actually, the country I am in (Britain in the real world) also has vampires.

Although they are not as powerful and fashionable as described in literary and artistic works, there are still several groups of considerable size.

In the past, they had a miserable life due to the decline of their spiritual energy. They were protected by our clock tower as rare animals to prevent the extinction of the native vampires in Great Britain.

It's gotten a little better in recent years.

As for the situation of vampires outside of Britain, I don't know much about it.

As a long-established organization like the Special Affairs Bureau, the Bell Tower Masters Association has been developing well recently by mining past wealth.

A variety of new experimental projects emerge in endlessly.

Such as the plan to plant artificially bred red dragons by placing dragon eggs next to nuclear reactors;

A Royal Navy reconstruction plan that releases epic magic on battleships to give them independent minds and the ability to transform into humans;

Compared with these grand projects that determine the level of national destiny, the mere genome engineering exploration of the vampires is really nothing - although London was also a major birthplace of the vampires in the past,

But under the supervision of the Bell Tower and Puritanism, it declined very much.

Currently, most vampires in the world still live in continental Europe and the United States.

The others didn't know what Hohenheim was thinking and turned to look at Li Ang.

He snapped his fingers and said with a smile: Yes, vampires eat human blood in order to absorb blood and soul energy.

And the ghouls who are not as fashionable as the vampires,

The reason for devouring flesh and blood is much simpler - to replenish special substances that they cannot produce on their own.

For example, bacteria.

Bacteria?

The village chief and other players were stunned for a moment, What do you mean?

I wonder if you've ever had a hamster.

Li Ang made a gesture and said, Rodent pets like hamsters are fluffy, small, and so cute.

But they are actually ruthless shit-making machines.

What’s even scarier is that they not only poop, but also eat their own poop.

Hamsters can eat poop more than twenty times a day, while guinea pigs can eat poop more than two hundred times a day.

When they are holding something and gnawing, it is completely unclear whether they are gnawing on feed or gnawing on their own feces.

The reason is that these rodents do not have enzymes that can directly digest cellulose, and cannot absorb nutrients from plant stems and leaves through the tough cell walls.

This makes them very inefficient in obtaining nutrients from forage, so they repeatedly swallow feces and produce and sell their own food.

Everyone was stunned for a moment after hearing this.

Although Li Ang is wearing a dragon mask,

But for some reason, his tone always gave everyone the impression that he was particularly elated and beaming with joy when talking about shit and piss.

This kind of regular self-produced and self-sold behavior is not only to obtain nutrients, but also to save one's own flora.

Li Ang said: “Taking rabbits as an example, their size determines that they cannot evolve a large rumen like cattle to preserve enough microorganisms to help them digest the plant fiber they ingest.

So they evolved a very long cecum to store microorganisms in the cecum to help digestion——

Of course, compared to the size of a rabbit, the cecum is still not long enough to complete digestion during the time the food stays. The cecal stool is soft and dense, and contains a lot of cecal microorganisms.

Rabbits swallow their own soft feces not only to re-digest undigested fiber, but also to recycle cecal microorganisms. Otherwise, they will suffer from coccidiosis and other diseases due to insufficient microorganisms...

Wait a moment,

The village chief couldn't help but interrupt, That makes sense, but what does rabbit eating poop have to do with our group of ghouls?

It matters a lot.

Li Ang chuckled and said quietly: Ghouls cannibalize people not just because they are greedy for human bodies, but because they are greedy for the little things in human bodies.
