As an armored ogre noble, Jiang Li doesn't believe that the other party is really powerless.

Dugafran shook the shackles on her hands, but she was not angry.

He pushed open the door on one side and took Jiang Li into another laboratory.

Fortunately, this laboratory was not the pure white laboratory that Jiang Li had imagined. Classic scenes such as nutrient solution, clones, and specimens soaked in formalin did not appear.

Otherwise, Jiang Li would really suspect whether this person was also a time traveler.

Although it is called a laboratory, it is more like a prison cell, but the hygiene is better.

Inside, there were many standing cages similar to the ones Jiang Li had seen before, but the spikes inside the cages had been removed, so being locked up inside should be a little more comfortable.

Imprisoned inside were a dozen armored man-eating monsters.

As soon as the ogres saw people coming in, they began to cling to the cages and roar, stretching out their claws, trying to attack and bite them.

This appearance is completely different from the armor-faced ogre-like creatures Jiang Li had seen before.

Is this what a troll looks like when he loses his mind?

"Be obedient."

Dugafran stepped forward and coaxed them gently, as if she were taking care of a child.

After feeding the most ferocious ogres something, he took Jiang Li through the cages, picked up a ceramic fish tank from the corner and handed it to Jiang Li.

"This is who we are."

Jiang Li opened the lid. Inside the fish tank, there was a pool of red meat? As if sensing the change in light, after opening the lid of the fish tank, the red meat began to wriggle slightly, sprouting some tentacles and crawling towards the wall of the fish tank.

It seems like it wants to climb out of the tank.

This thing has no fixed entity and can deform and move. Jiang Li even saw primitive pipe structures similar to blood vessels on its surface.

Meat Ganoderma? Tai Sui?

The first thing Jiang Li thought of was this mysterious creature. It looked very similar.

"I spent a lot of time and effort to get this from the ancestral forest. Big brother, don't you think it's cute?"

Dugafran reached out and stroked the piece of meat as if she were stroking a pet, not minding the disgusting mucus on it at all.

【Name: Gaogu Meat Ganoderma】

【Type:Compound Slime Mold】

【Age: Ancient】

[Reproduction method: proliferation and division]

【Life structure: multinucleated cells】

【Nutrient source: diversity】

【Description: Ancient creatures susceptible to influence】

"This thing?... How did it become yours? Jiang Li couldn't understand what was so cute about this thing.

But according to the other party, this ball of ancient meat ganoderma was secretly collected by her from a very important place of the armored ogre race.

This Dugaflan came to the front line specifically to study the secret of the ancient meat ganoderma.

The Viscount went to Dugaronlong to eat wild gorillas, and she did so for the same reason.

Jiang Li had only met two ogre nobles in total, and it turned out that their motives for going to the front line were not pure.

This is a good thing. The worse the internal situation of the other side is, the easier it is to fight the war here.

“This meat is very interesting.”

With her shackled hands, Dugaflan picked up an egg from an unknown creature with some difficulty.

After opening the eggshell, she threw away the yolk and poured only the egg white into the fish tank.

The ancient meaty ganoderma in the fish tank immediately grew many tentacles, which inserted into the egg white and began to suck it.

"This holy mushroom can eat anything, but if it eats something else, something interesting will happen."

Fran seemed very happy and excited when she talked about her research.

She tore open a piece of black cloth, and suddenly more than a dozen iron cages appeared.

Inside the cages, there are many animals that look familiar but strange.

A bald hen with armored faces, an ugly fish with armored faces, a scaly leopard with armored faces, and a striped poisonous snake with armored faces.

In these cages, half are filled with ordinary wild beasts, and the other half are filled with common monsters.

From their appearance, one can still see some of their former appearance, but without exception, they have grown masks on their faces, and their physical features are changing into masked ogre.

As Dugaflan said, she just separated out a small piece of the ancient meat ganoderma, and then fed them with the flesh and blood of these creatures, and slowly, they grew into this shape.

This change is very similar to what the ogres did to the mermaids, but the meaning is different.

Stuffing flesh and blood into the bodies of other creatures is essentially erosion and assimilation.

The corpse was eaten by the slime mold, and it grew to this size in a short period of time. That is evolution, and it is super-fast evolution after the useful genes have been plundered.

This is a creature that is somewhat similar to the "Alien" in previous film and television works, but even more terrifying.

Their racial advantage is self-evident as they can arbitrarily seize the genes of other creatures that have evolved over countless years and use them for their own purposes.

"It's interesting, isn't it? That's how we got here in the beginning."

"It started from the piece of meat in the ancestral land. I don't know how long it took, but finally all the animals on the entire continent grew such armor."

Dugafran tapped the white bone armor on her face and spoke the history of her home race.

Jiang Li also learned more about the transformation ritual of the armor-faced monster.

Fortunately, not all the flesh and blood of the armored monsters can easily infect other creatures.

Only by using the ancient meat ganoderma and the flesh and blood of nobles can other creatures be transformed into the same species.

Although those robed priests were not nobles, they had some noble flesh and blood transplanted into their bodies. They used their own nutrients to nourish the flesh and blood, and then cut it off for the transformation ceremony when needed.

She spoke lightly, but Jiang Li felt it was heavy.

Especially the word "mainland" made him feel pressured.

It turns out that the armored-faced ogre race is not just a dangerous race that appears in the eastern region of Cangyun Continent.

They are horrific monsters that have infested an entire continent.

Among the Kyushu continents, there is actually a continent that is entirely ruled by armor-faced ogres.

The size difference between the two is completely different concepts.

The top leaders in the Eastern Region of Cang Yun Continent must have known this news, but they did not tell the people below.

If the people below knew that they were at war with another continent within the Kyushu Continent, who knows how many of them would be frightened to death.

"Then why did you attack us?"

Jiang Li continued to ask.

"Big brother, all living things have the instinct to pursue wisdom."

"And the only thing that can bring us wisdom is food."

Dugafran blinked her two vertically aligned eyes, as if she was curious why Jiang Li didn't even know such a thing.

That should be common sense to them.

Jiang Li followed Fulan's finger and looked at the cages of people standing in the room.

"Whether or not the subject possessed intelligence before being transformed."

"I know that on Big Brother's continent, even the simplest creatures will gain wisdom after they become demons through cultivation. But the Armored Tribe is different."

"Only after eating the ghoul can you gain wisdom and become one of us."

There was a box in Fran's laboratory, but she did not feed the food to the ogres.

"Brother, there were originally many people on our continent. But many years ago, due to some accidents, only a small number of them were left."

"Except for the nobles, everyone was tormented by the pain of losing their minds, so there was a war, and later the farm was established."

After listening to this, Jiang Li inevitably felt a little dejected.

Combined with what he had seen on the island before, what Dugaflan said did not seem false.

In that case, the two races and two continents would be at war to the death.

The armor-faced ogre will not be satisfied with the farm, and humans will not tolerate a group of monsters keeping their own kind in captivity like livestock.

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

What's more, the hatred that has lasted for thousands of years cannot be ended just like that.

Of course, such a big thing is not something that Jiang Li, a small country leader, should worry about.

His first goal now is to join the Temple of the Gods. Everything else he says is empty talk.

"Then Miss Fran, what exactly do you want to do here?"

Jiang Liwen returned to Fran's laboratory and talked about this. The ogre started smiling again.

"Well, I want to try and see if I can create a tribe like the nobles that can maintain their intelligence without the need for gorging."

Jiang Li stared at Dugaflan's face. This was really a great experiment.

But no matter what, he could not let this armor-faced ogre leave.

Kill her? It's a waste.

It might be more useful to keep her.

This kind of scientific research talent, if used well, can be worth thousands of troops.

"Ms. Dugafran, it's really a waste of your talent for you to stay here."

"I sincerely invite Miss Fulan to join the Chongshan League."

"If Miss Fran is interested in this piece of flesh and blood, I have many creatures that do not exist in this world. Perhaps we can study out something more interesting."

Jiang Li released the Yin Burial Coffin, and several monsters from the Asura Realm walked out from it.

Sure enough, when Dr. Fran saw those creatures she had never seen before, her face showed obvious curiosity and excitement.

If you give her a knife now, she can dissect these guys on the spot.

Jiang Li could roughly see the difference after spending such a short time together.

Dugafran is a typical research maniac. There are no extra emotions in her mind. In her eyes, racial ethics is more important than studying new things.

Jiang Li feels she can do anything as long as she can complete the research she wants to do.

Of course, as a precaution, Jiang Li also needs to give her a gift.

Du Jiafulan thought for a moment, and finally took the fruit handed to her by Jiang Li and ate it herself.

She came to the front line, on the one hand, to study the ancient meat fungus without any scruples, and on the other hand, the biological plants and animals in Cangyun Continent, which were very different from those in their home, also had a fatal attraction to her.

Now Jiang Li has a whole unknown world in her hands.

Doctor Fran's saliva was about to flow down.

The armor-faced ogre might never have thought that a foodie would sneak into their island and secretly kidnap one of their nobles.

They could not have imagined that Jiang Li would do something even more outrageous.

After a few hours, the sky gradually brightened.

The mermaids imprisoned in the cage of the stander were a little anxious. Under the influence of the sea fog, the sun that had just come out could not cause any harm to them.

But if you wait until the sun is overhead, the situation will be different.

It is said that there was once a mermaid princess who insisted on staying on shore in order to marry a human prince on the shore, and was eventually burned into foam by the sun.

This is a story passed down orally among the mermaids. Although it may not be true, its purpose is to warn the younger generations of the tribe how dangerous the strong sunlight is to them.

Under the cover of sea fog, although it would not be as serious as direct sunlight, it would still make them extremely weak.

By that time, they will no longer have the strength to resist the erosion of the armor-faced ogre's flesh and blood.

Now all they can hope is that their master Jiang Li can find the antidote in time to save them.

Mermaid Namur: Hmm? Why should I call him master?

And the Jiang Li, whom they were expecting, changed his clothes and swaggered into the fortress of the Armored Demon.

The skin on his body now exudes the aura of a cannibal all the time, and the slightly pulsating blood vessels under the skin are clearly visible. Even if you look closely from close up, you can't find any faults.

This is much better than the one Jiang Li made before according to the magic formula.

This lifelike shape-shifting skin is the version that Dugafran modified and upgraded for him.

Jiang Li also witnessed her abilities with his own eyes.

The strange doctor Fran personally combined a complete vascular system with the skin. She was able to survive alone with just a piece of skin.

This change has greatly changed the effect of Jiang Li's shape-changing technique. Even if he really stands in front of Dugaronlong, he will not be able to discover the clues easily.

With this leather suit and holding Dugaflan's noble token, Jiang Li walked with such confidence that no one dared to stop him.

At this time, he was holding a jar of food in his hand and walking towards the bottom of the fortress.

Beneath this fortress building, there is a wide cave lake serving as a basement.

During the day, some of the low-ranking ogres transformed from mermaids stay in the sea, while others of relatively high status come here to rest.

The nobility here is like Namur's father, Natier, the former leader of the mermaid tribe, and his three wives.

"Lord Natir, this is your food."

Jiang Li picked up a stone on the shore and knocked it a few times beside the lake.

The sound of the collision spread throughout the underground lake along with the ripples.

Ripples soon appeared on the calm water surface.

Four mermaid armors emerged from the water one after another.

The leading merman had a stronger armor mask, and on his head he wore a crown similar to that of Namur but obviously much larger.

This person is the culprit who repeatedly launched sea beast tides, causing great suffering to the Chongshan League's Mechanical City.

"Didn't I tell you that no one should disturb me during the day?"

Natier seemed very unhappy, but after seeing the jar that Jiang Lishang was holding, he obviously calmed down a lot.

For an ogre like him who was transformed later in life, the status is far different from that of a noble. Although he has made great contributions, he is not qualified to enjoy fresh and high-quality food.

Unexpectedly, the organization actually rationed him this kind of high-end food today.

"Lord Dugaronlong, let me bring this high-quality food to Lord Natir. Of course, if it's inconvenient, I'll come back later."

"Wait, thank Viscount Dugaronlong for his generosity for me and put the things down."

Natier swam his tail underwater, swam to the shore impatiently, and opened the food he had been waiting for for a long time.
