Sword and Magic and Taxi

The battle between the Blackfoot leader and the strange dog has become a rare entertainment activity in the settlement. In order to make the orcs accept the existence of Z-worms, Zhao Mai described them as dark creatures hidden in the mountains and woods, the creation of the Dark Lord. This is not true. Melkor is the first generation of the Dark Lord. Sauron is the second generation, and Zhao Mai can be regarded as a generation and a half connecting the past and the future.

The orcs built fences and seats on the east side of the three turrets, and it initially felt like a competition arena. Zhao Mai would come here to fight every day, sometimes with Z bugs, sometimes with orcs. Beastmen can't learn too complex martial arts systems - Zhao Mai actually doesn't know much - but the beast fighting style that Zhao Mai learned from Wolverine Logan is very popular. Orcs can easily understand the movements and routines inside, and can even innovate new ones based on their own physical fitness.

Since most of the strong orcs have left, most of Zhao Mai's settlement is made up of old and weak people who have little chance to go to the battlefield, and there are also a large number of female orcs who stayed behind to give birth. Zhao Mai suddenly realized that he was managing a group of the best teachers and instructors, wasn't he? Young orcs will keep leaving as they grow, fighting and dying, but they happen to belong to the most stable class in orc society.

Therefore, he ordered the female orcs to also learn fighting skills and teach them to their children in the future. As a result, the competition ground was overcrowded every day and had to be continuously expanded. The new building that was expanded simultaneously with the seats is the gaming room. The lack of orc warriors makes the project here single. For the time being, there is only the Commander and Monster series project.

After many battles and improvements, the Z-worm's basic unit, the jumping dog, was finally finalized. In the end, the size of jumping dogs was determined to be about the same as that of wolves. Their shorter bodies and strong limbs focused on running and jumping allowed them to move as fast as cheetahs.

There are no complex claws, but the strong front legs that can move at high speeds are covered with a carapace with jagged protrusions. Coupled with its sharp teeth, the jumping dog's tearing and cutting abilities are quite good. There is a pair of bone wings on its back that are usually folded. After unfolding, there is a thin layer of fleshy membrane, much like the wings of a bat, which can glide short distances and increase the distance of jumping. The top of the bone wing is a sharp bone spur, nearly one meter long, with strong puncture ability. The jumping dog's attack method is to lower its body and bite with its mouth, and poke with bone spurs from above. After the enemy falls to the ground, it will step on and cut with its forelimbs.

Learning from previous experience, the jumping dog has bone shards and spurs on its back to deal with those who try to get over them and attack. The short, quick and efficient attack movements make it a difficult enemy. Zhao Mai can use faster and heavier fists to deal with them, but the orcs are generally at a disadvantage in the battle with the jumping dogs.

Continuing to optimize the structure, Zhao Mai can also make it produce various changes, such as using the suction cup's climbing ability, underground digging ability and even the ability to fly short distances, but there is no doubt that Jumping Dog is the first established foundation among all Z-worms. Biologically, this is due to the hard work of reserve grains.

And a strong desire to be followed by a large group of younger brothers. The reserve grain ran in front, followed closely by a few jumping dogs, and together they stamped out large clouds of smoke and dust outside the camp. This has become a new landscape in the Blackfoot settlement, and even a betting industry about dog racing has slowly developed. The orcs had no idea that all jumping dogs obeyed the orders of Reserve Liang and Zhao Mai. They named the jumping dogs according to their own preferences, and then happily used them to determine the winner.

No more than six. This is Zhao Mai's only request for grain reserves. He was referring to the number of jumping dogs that appeared on the ground and the number of them in the underground caves, which all depended on the supply capacity of the carpet.

Good news comes one after another. No matter what Xiaohua did, she said that she had completed her teaching work and no longer needed to maintain a spiritual connection.

Zhao Mai was doubtful, but Xiaohua looked confident, and even her eyes were shining. Zhao Mai, don't you still believe me? The needs of plants are much simpler than those of animals, and I am not a human being, and I am more focused on work than a dog. I don't have time to create followers, so I can naturally finish it faster. .”

The stored food rolled around on the ground, and he barked twice to call a jumping dog in front of him. It seriously patted the ferocious-looking jumping dog to show Zhao Mai his achievements. That little look in his eyes was very clear: I have completed such a great work, what have you done?

Xiaohua blinked and said, I killed a dog, made a steak, and put it on top of the Chimera. You can try it.

Now that she said so, Zhao Mai took the two of them to the base cave.

Z-worms have changed their appearance, especially the creep. Originally, the carpet was just a domineering food that kept growing and tried to cover the surface of all objects. Now it has become very flat, and the surface is covered with a transparent hard shell, which can not only protect the sponge structure below, but also make it easier to walk. Although this is a cave, it obviously also considered how to use sunlight.

Every ten meters, there is a protruding contact point on the bacteria carpet. Normally, it is the same height as the surrounding transparent shells and does not hinder traffic. It stretches like a snail's antennae when needed. This thing is similar to a straw, like a siphon in the bark. It can transport nutrients to support the Z worm's construction. Of course, you can also suck it directly with your mouth, but the taste is very bad, and only the unique cell organs of the Z worm can be used. The nutrients in it would just cause diarrhea to other organisms.”

Hearing this, Reserve Food opened his mouth and hurriedly spit out the siphon. He squeezed his stomach hard, but the nutrient solution had entered its intestines, causing a gurgling sound there.

Originally, I ate the fungus blanket directly, but now it's different. Xiaohua took Zhao Mai to visit and came to a strange table. It was actually a mushroom, almost one meter in diameter and one and a half meters in height. The canopy was two meters in diameter, and it felt thick and fleshy when pressed against it. This is the finished product of the mushroom, which is edible. According to the surrounding natural environment and ecosystem, the mushroom concentrates nutrients suitable for surrounding creatures into the mushroom. The taste... you can try it yourself. I Don’t have that ability.”

This won't hurt your stomach, right?

Xiaohua squinted at Zhao Mai. I didn't ask. If there is something that can make me hungry, it must be a strategic weapon. Zhao Mai laughed at himself, broke off a piece and put it in his mouth to chew.

It's like eating raw white flour and cooked egg whites at the same time, and the texture is similar to compressed biscuits. Why doesn't it smell?

In order to make all creatures eat it, but none of them like to eat it. Xiaohua said: The carpet is very powerful. It is an ecosystem that can take the initiative. No matter it is a forest or a swamp, the polar regions or the Gobi, it is not its opponent. . We are druids, and the carpet mushrooms are used to supply Z insects. The purpose is to reduce damage to the natural environment, rather than to eliminate and replace the local ecology, right?

“It makes sense that this thing has no taste!”
