Chapter 638 Our Army Was Defeated
On the second day after being captured, 339 began to feel confused and panicked, and was in inexplicable pain, so painful that tears flowed down his face.
There was only one thing on his mind: armored beast.
He can't live without the alien bugs.
"Please, give me the armor, let it return to my body, please..."
"I'll do whatever you ask me to do, please."
Facing 339's begging on the ground, Wadiye watched coldly: "The control power is almost like a magic potion. This is why the alien insects tamed you. The toxins they secrete can cause a long-term drug dependence on you."
Two skeleton soldiers fed him a pill.
At first, 339 felt much better, as if the uneasiness and restlessness were gradually disappearing.
But after a few days, the effect of the pill became weaker and weaker, and soon it became completely ineffective.
"The quick-acting heart-saving pill failed. It's okay. There are other ones."
Wadiye began to give 339 various pills, potions, and liquid medicines.
Few of these medicines were effective, the most effective ones were [Sleeping Potion] and [Antidote]. But after a long time, these two magic potions became completely useless like the quick-acting heart-saving pills, and the symptoms caused by the rebound became more severe.
Every day, 339 felt waves of heat and severe pain all over his body, some creepy noises would ring in his ears, his hands and feet would tremble involuntarily, a lot of saliva would flow out of his mouth, and red spots of varying degrees would appear on his neck and hands... He felt like a cracked pottery that would break at the slightest touch.
It's better to be dead than to live like this.
Die, die! The warrior who takes off his armor deserves death!
But 339 had neither the courage nor the strength to commit suicide, and could only talk to himself in his mind every day.
That day, Wadiye brought a man in red clothes. The man cut 339's arm with a knife and sucked out some of the blood with a glass tube.
A few days later, the man in red came again. This time, he drew out most of 339's blood. Just when 339 felt fuzzy and cold, he felt the warm blood return to his body. Then he drew out blood again and it returned again.
After a period of daily blood flow in and out, 339 found that he had returned to normal.
“How is this done?”
He couldn't believe it.
According to the experience of the Zerg, once a warrior takes off his armor, he will die in pain, unless he can put on his armor again during this period and restore the connection with the armored beast.
Wadiye told him: "It's the blood exchange technique of the blood goblins. They can produce blood in a targeted manner through the assimilation of blood elements. We have replaced almost all the blood in your body. Your blood is full of special toxins injected by the [Armored Beast]. Without the continuous injection of [Armored Beast], you will be in pain all over your body until you die of exhaustion."
"The armored beast is your standard mate, right? It needs to use its mouthparts to pierce your severed tail. Your tails are cut off at birth to facilitate this level of symbiosis."
"It looks like it has turned its skin into armor for you, but in reality, it is a way to control you."
"After two months of field trials with 120 people, we found that your minds and blood have been seriously affected and controlled by the armored beasts. It makes you aggressive, violent and bloodthirsty, and your appetite is greatly increased because you are required to hunt. When food is insufficient, the armored beasts will let you feed their larvae with your own kind."
"The armored worms have strong ability to change and adapt, but they don't have a sophisticated enough brain. They use your brain. You raise their next generation, hunt for them, turn yourself into their weapons and tools, and your blood becomes their food... Whether it's armored worms, bugs, or star cockroaches, they are all forms that the alien worms have evolved according to the needs of the environment."
339 didn't know how to react to what Wadiye said.
This is how the Zerg have always survived.
…
339 were allowed to leave the house.
After being held captive for half a year, he finally came out into the outside world again.
On the grass nearby, 339 saw other warriors. They had also lost their armor, but they could still recognize each other at a glance.
Enlisted 117 was a skinny stone baboon with messy hair all over his body. He smacked his lips and said, "Did you eat the wheat cake yesterday? The taste was...tsk."
"It contains meat and some dried vegetables! It's a pity that they only serve two at a time!"
Another junior high school student 187 also said: "The jam-covered biscuits are delicious. I also learned how to play the kheju box, and the Yao tribe thought I played it well."
The higher-ranking Yishang 28 scolded: "It's all about eating and playing. You should learn more useful things from the Yao people!"
"What did you learn?"
"Dragon language."
"There are no dragons here."
"If you don't learn, will you be able to tell when you meet a dragon?"
28 said: "'Zezez' is a term used by dragons to insult people, meaning 'a dragon that leaks urine'. 'Rezepa' is a term commonly used among dragons, and it has a wide range of uses, meaning 'very strong' or 'very powerful'."
"As expected of a superior warrior!"
"One more sentence!"
"Come on, a few more."
Mixed with his peers, 339 suddenly realized that everyone seemed to think there was nothing wrong. As long as he took off his armor, he could return to his weak civilian state.
The warriors' will and mission are more like what the armored beasts give them, rather than being the stone baboons' innate instincts.
339 asked: "Everyone, how did we first tame the alien bugs? Does anyone know?"
"You don't know this? I'll teach you."
Yishang 28 stroked the hair on both sides of his face and looked up into the sky: "A long, long time ago, the stone baboons of our ancestors had many natural enemies, so they hid underground and found alien insects. These insects entangled the first stone baboon and turned him into a super soldier. Our ancestors relied on the alien insects to defeat all the powerful enemies and became the ultimate winners and rulers."
"In order to fight monsters, you have to become a monster."
"Then, in order to survive better, the warrior system was established. Warriors are the core of the Zerg. Civilians who are unable to tame the alien worms provide offspring, and the warriors protect them. If they lose their fertility, they will be sent to the Zerg nest."
"Why kill them and not let them live?" 339 asked.
"Because I can't make any contribution to the tribe, there's no point in living." Yishang 28 said: "The Yishun tribe is a warrior nation. If you are not a warrior, you can only accept this fate."
"Why doesn't the Yao clan do this?" 339 looked at everyone.
“…”
No one could answer him.
Not long after, some black spots appeared in the sky.
339 looked up into the sky and discovered that the leader was a scaly beetle with huge wings, surrounded by green poisonous mist.
"The Elder Yidao took action?"
Yakujo 28 nodded: "Yes, it is Elder Yakuto. Only elders can control the giant moth... It seems that a large-scale counterattack is going to be launched. I don't know if it will work."
A silver lightning flashed in the sky, piercing through the clouds and mist, and with one sword, the giant moth was cut down from the air. Another long spear fell from the sky and nailed the giant moth to a lonely peak.
Other star cockroaches around swooped down and tried to rescue it, but it seemed that the giant moth was no longer moving.
The stone baboons that were watching the fight from the trees and rocks all bared their teeth and shook their heads.
"I still can't fight. I don't have the ability."
"It's normal to lose. The sooner you lose, the sooner it's over."
"Surrender early. There are bone dragons everywhere. If you continue to fight, you will only die in vain."
Everyone was saying that our army had been defeated.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Everyone present had witnessed the combat capability of the Bone Dragon Legion and knew that there was an unbridgeable gap in strength between the two sides.
And these are just a small part of the Yao clan's power. The sword and spear have never appeared before.
On the same day, another group of servitors were sent here. From them, the stone baboons learned that Elder Servitor had died when he fell.
At this point, the Elder Legion remaining in this world is in name only.
…
339 lived here peacefully for eleven years, and he and his companions built a small village. Although it was not big, it had a mill, a well, and an orchard. Nearly 400 stone baboons worked here, opening up another way of life.
No war, no need to fight, no need to combine with alien insects.
There is nothing wrong with this kind of life.
One day, a dragon suddenly appeared in the clouds. The dragon was formed by the condensation of air currents. It turned the clouds in the sky upside down, causing the wind and clouds to change suddenly, and made the stone baboons on the ground squeak excitedly.
"Rezepa! Rezepa!"
Everyone shouted in the broken dragon language they had learned.
The dragon in the clouds rolled and roared, then turned into a thunder dragon, and then transformed into a water dragon. It changed into thousands of weather conditions and was as powerful as a rainbow.
At this moment, everyone felt a heavy sense of oppression.
It was as if all the air in the world was squeezed downward by an invisible force, making the stone baboons' ears buzz.
God's will!
An unprecedentedly powerful will is watching this place!
339 and others saw that the dragon that was constantly changing in the sky suddenly disappeared, as if it was captured by the power of the gods.
The stone baboons cried out in pity.
A few days later, Wadiye said goodbye to 339.
"I have to correct my mistake. It seems that I have a preconceived notion. The stone baboon and the alien worm are not simply one controlling the other. In the process of coexistence and cooperation, both sides have tamed and combined each other."
"This reminds me of my destroyed homeland, the Kingdom of Kamit."
"At that time, I was actually a rare life form captured by the Kingdom of Kamit and imprisoned in the city gardens for citizens to enjoy. However, after living together for a long time, I gradually became a part of the Kingdom of Kamit, and everyone jokingly called me Prince Walnut."
Wadiye's beard twitched. "When the kingdom was invaded by foreigners, the people fled quickly, and I was left behind. I hated the invaders because I considered myself a part of the Kingdom of Kamit."
"It's incredible now. It's probably just like how you feel when you think you are the savior. Outsiders can't understand it, but we ourselves feel that way."
"In the past, I always thought that I wanted to restore my country because of my nostalgia and love for the Kingdom of Kamit. After many years, I saw the mountains and rivers change, and the times changed. I realized that I just hated myself for becoming homeless. I need a home and a mission to feel that I am still alive."
“I’m studying you, but I also see myself in you.”
Wadiye said something that 339 could not understand: "According to the oracle, you will be able to choose your own life again. Whether you want to return to the Zerg, stay as you are now, or follow a god, it is your freedom."
339 was shocked: "Don't you want this world anymore?"
The other party said: "This is a fragmented world, a place where all kinds of life and apprentice gods grow wildly. Lord Yaoshen only came here to rescue the dragons here. Now that he has accomplished his mission, of course he will leave."
"Um... can God Yao really accept atheists?"
"Of course. You don't believe in God, but you still live a good life. This is proof."
In the distance, a group of skull dragons lined up in a row and entered the huge light gate opened on the mountain in an orderly manner.
339 had a strong urge. He wanted to follow them to the kingdom of God Yao to see what the scene was like over there - more importantly, he heard that there were all kinds of food everywhere over there.
"Mr. Wadiye."
"Um?"
"I can dig wells, I can chisel stones, I can grind wheat, I can plant fruit trees...Are you short of people to work?"
“Honestly, there is no shortage.”
339's eyes were dim.
"But if you are willing to learn everything from scratch, abide by the rules of the Yao tribe, and participate in the specific labor we require..."
"I do!"
Prince Walnut said, "Don't agree too soon. If I ask you to study those alien insects—or even conduct personal experiments again—can you do it?"
"able!"
339 gritted his teeth and nodded.
He thought silently.
Alien insect, let's cooperate again.
Everyone needs to find a new way to live.
