Chapter 157 Moonlight Dragon



The irresistible charm of dried fish and small crabs has attracted countless virtual food viewers to the nature area to find them, deciding to go back and make them themselves.

It also attracted a giant black monkey head mushroom.

The three of them looked at the giant black monkey head mushroom, who was staring at the dried fish and crabs with such drool that it practically drooled three thousand feet, wetting the fur on its chest and chin.

After a while, Sang Ning wrapped some dried fish and small crabs in leaves, tied them up, and threw them to the monkey head mushroom. Seeing it trot over, pick up the leaf wrapping, take a few steps back, sit on the ground, and happily start eating, its eyes filled with smiles.

They're quite cute.

Did you find it?

Emmanuel asked Elliott, who shook his head. "No."

As he spoke, he looked at Emmanuel, "And you?"

Emmanuel looked grave. "It's amazing, I didn't even notice it following us so quietly."

Sang Ning raised an eyebrow, "You two are so strong, yet you didn't notice it following us the whole time?"

This is simply unbelievable.

The viewers in the live stream were in an uproar.

[This shouldn't be happening, given the abilities of Emmanuel and Elliott. They couldn't even find the bear's tracks; it's defying the heavens!]

[This is outrageous! Sang Ning previously stated that this Crescent Bear seems to be in a semi-evolved state. In nature, there are hundreds of millions of species, and only a handful of primitive, uncivilized races can evolve into evolved species. If Sang Ning's judgment is correct, then tell me, isn't this Crescent Bear defying the heavens?]

[If the judgment is correct, this bear is truly extraordinary. For a primitive creature to become an evolved species, it's not simply a matter of strength and coincidence; it requires the right timing, location, people, and a stroke of luck. This bear's ability to evolve from a primitive creature into a semi-evolved species on a desolate planet is a testament to both strength and luck. It truly is the chosen bear.]

I can understand skill, but what about luck?

[Think about it: if the survival show crew hadn't gone to this desolate planet, no one would have known that the bear had entered a semi-evolved state. On a desolate planet without any intelligent life, what do you think would have been the final fate of the bear that successfully transitioned from a semi-evolved state to a fully evolved state, possessing the thoughts and thought patterns of intelligent life?]

As soon as this comment appeared, the live stream seemed to freeze, and no other comments could be seen.

After a while, a comment appeared on the screen—

They will die, from loneliness, isolation, and feeling out of place.

The biggest difference between intelligent life and primitive creatures is that intelligent life has seven emotions and six desires, rich emotions, and can think and search for the three selves: self, true self, and id.

Unlike primitive, unenlightened creatures, they also have emotions, but their survival instincts dominate.

In this situation, intelligent life and primitive, unenlightened beings not only cannot get along, but the primitive, unenlightened beings will also treat the evolved species as enemies and kill them.

This is like a group of idiots suddenly having a genius with an exceptionally high IQ join them. Because their intelligence levels are different, their biological instincts and empathy will only make the less intelligent idiots think the genius is problematic, an anomaly, and someone who needs to be eliminated, rather than them feeling that they are the anomaly.

In this scenario, intelligent life would live in extreme suffering. Even if they weren't ultimately killed by primitive, ignorant creatures, they would suffer psychological problems due to prolonged loneliness and alienation, ultimately leading to self-destruction.

This is not alarmist; it is based on real cases.

Sang Ning happened to see this comment and asked curiously, "What do you mean by 'real-life cases'?"

The audience gave her a proper lesson, explaining that the protagonist of the case was a Moon Dragon.

As a native of the Moiqaz universe, the Moon Dragon is renowned throughout the universe for its graceful physique and the moonlight emanating from its body.

It is a genuine primitive creature, and also a critically endangered species under special protection. Five hundred years ago, its total population did not exceed one hundred.

To protect the extremely small number of Moon Dragons, the Biological Gene Research Center and the Species Conservation Center have implemented strict protection and monitoring measures for these Moon Dragons that are not yet old enough to turn white.

However, in order not to damage the Moon Dragon's ecological environment and to reduce the possibility of the Moon Dragon dying from stress, the staff stayed behind the scenes to protect these Moon Dragons, rather than keeping them in captivity.

Staff members will only appear to treat Moondragon when it is in mortal danger; otherwise, they remain invisible and only monitor Moondragon's living conditions.

Then, through day-to-day observation and protection, the staff discovered that a Moon Dragon that had entered sub-adulthood was acting strangely; it was being ostracized by the group.

The reason for the exclusion is that the Moon Dragon has begun to evolve into a semi-evolved state, and its behavior is in stark contrast to that of other primitive Moon Dragons.

While other Moon Dragons were enjoying their meals, this Moon Dragon, which was in a semi-evolved state, began to refuse to eat raw flesh and blood, and even started eating plant roots, stems, leaves, fruits, and flowers.

Moon Dragons are true carnivores, but their diet is very limited. They only eat a handful of meats, and they don't eat plants.

Some carnivores will eat plants to treat their illness or improve their health when they are feeling unwell, but Moondragons do not.

This is a creature that would rather die than touch a plant.

Naturally, the Moon Dragon that changed its diet, refusing raw meat and blood and instead eating plants, became an anomaly in the Moon Dragon group.

Initially, the Moon Dragons' group didn't ostracize this Moon Dragon, which had entered a semi-evolved state, too much. However, as the Moon Dragon's behavior became increasingly abnormal, or rather, different from others, the group's ostracism of it gradually increased, and they even began to attack it.

The Moon Dragon couldn't understand what was going on. It wanted to return to its clan but was driven away. It wanted to leave but didn't know where to go.

At this point, it was confirmed that the Moon Dragon had entered a semi-evolved state, and that it was about to complete this state and enter the evolved state soon. The working group began to discuss bringing the Moon Dragon out to live with the members of the working group, in preparation for entering the society of intelligent life after the evolution was completed.

Then, embrace a new beginning and officially embark on a new life.

However, the proposal was ultimately rejected because the head of the working group at the time was a nobody with connections who wanted to achieve results and leave the biological gene research center, a department that was practically a dead-end office, to join another department.

But the results weren't so easy to get.

Therefore, this person set their sights on this Moon Dragon that had entered a semi-evolved state.
