Brass Dragon in the Dragon World

Chapter 646 The Humble King

In the eyes of the beings who have experienced that era, it is an era of trees.

Thick clouds envelop the world under the power of the World Tree, turning the entire continent into a greenhouse that is like spring all the year round. The oxygen concentration is constantly rising, and the animals are spinning dizzily in the rich environment. Everything seems to exist in a dream middle.

Breathing the oxygen produced by the World Tree, they rushed into the bushes in a dizzy manner, and finally were melted by the huge will and became a part of the World Tree.

Only places such as the North and South Poles and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau maintain a complete ecology, where it is too cold and too far away, and World Tree is not suitable for that climate.

At this time, in the middle of Mount Kilimanjaro in East Africa, due to the great climate change, the snow-covered Mount Kilimanjaro has become a pleasant climate, and the last group of ancient apes reproduced in it. They stood up and their brains were enriched with oxygen. The environment becomes larger.

Humanity was born.

Their wisdom allowed them to learn to dodge. When the world tree spread to the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro, this group of ancient humans fled to the rugged mountain top and survived.

The aloof Ander looked at all the dreamlike things in front of him. Although he hated No. [-] for deceiving him, he was still very satisfied with the ancient secret: "So after that, where is the Dragon Clan?"

"If we want to explain this problem, we need to turn our attention to the deepest part of the World Tree." The voice of No. [-] came from the side, and the picture in front of Ender changed, turning to the big tree in the distance. .

As the world tree itself, due to its strong physical strength, ordinary parasites can't erode each other's body at all, but there are still some exceptions. An ancient single-celled organism has reached a symbiotic relationship with it long ago, parasitic on the world tree in the body.

It is said that there are thousands of different probiotics in the human body. These bacteria live in the human intestine, feed on food residues, and help humans regulate their digestive system.

And this single-celled organism is similar to the world tree. It was originally a probiotic that parasitized on the root system of the scale wood and used to fix nutrients in the soil. However, with the growth of the world tree, this single-celled organism It also changed its original shape.

Together with the World Tree, this peculiar single-celled organism began to absorb the magic power in the rock formation, and continued to evolve over hundreds of millions of years, spreading into the world along the roots of the World Tree.

In the eyes of Ender who was on the sidelines, the bacteria parasitic on the roots of the world tree continued to grow, and finally gathered into a group of slime-like monsters.

He has a black appearance, which is the carbon deposit left after years of symbiosis with the world tree. The slime-like creature attaches to the roots and travels around with the roots.

That was the predecessor of the Black King, a probiotic polymer like slime.

The Black King at this time is a group of bacterial polymers spreading in the roots of the tree. Under the effect of magic power, this group of bacterial polymers gradually began to have wisdom, the same unified will as the World Tree.

But the reproductive instinct as a creature made him want to take a step closer, but he didn't know how to continue himself.

He also has magic power, but he doesn't know how to use it, but unlike the world tree that is eager to germinate and take root, the Black King, who can only be regarded as bacteria at this time, does not know the advanced reproductive method of making seeds.

The reproduction method of bacteria is very primitive, that is, to divide, to split into a new self, a new existence.

As a bacterium, the Black King lives in such a muddle. No matter how many individuals he splits, he can't add a new will. This is the shortcoming of a creature like him. No matter how many times he splits, he is just copying himself. Far from reaching the purpose of reproduction.

What the Black King desires is evolution, change, and adaptation, but such a lifeless division is useless to his goal.

Until one day, on the top of Mount Kilimanjaro in East Africa, the body of a primitive man fell down. It was a different existence from other primitive people. His brain had more nerve cells and became even bigger.

In the future, a similar race is called Homo sapiens, but now he is just an insignificant part of the human race, a somewhat strange freak.

The original Homo sapiens fell into the bushes at the foot of the mountain. He died under the roots of the World Tree, but before he died, black bacteria spread out from the roots and wrapped his body.

At this time, the Black King was beginning to have wisdom, but he hadn't seen animals for a long time. The spread of the World Tree wiped out most of the creatures in the world, and the surviving creatures didn't have much wisdom.

But this primitive man is different, in his mind, the light of magic is shining.

"Magic doesn't favor blood, only wisdom." Looking at the scene in front of him, Ender recited a mage's famous quote, which was a bit biased, but higher wisdom did mean stronger magical power.

During the countless years of growth, the World Tree mined the magic power between the rock layers and stored it in the body, and this part of the magic power gradually diffused into the world with the circulation of the World Tree, which greatly accelerated the evolution of human beings. .

The Black King still doesn't know what the human brain is at the moment, but his instinct allows him to keep this magical organ, and use his bacterial shell to make a sphere to enclose the human brain, turning it into the original brain. nuclear.

At this moment, the animal-like Black King possessed human nature for the first time. In the process of interacting with the human brain, those monotonous bacteria gradually learned to store memories and learn to think. For the first time, the Black King began to have Desires other than reproduction.

His body spread in the stratum, and along the roots of the world tree, he saw the former owner of the world, the reptile named dinosaur.

Driven by human nature, he began to build a suitable body for himself. He didn't want to stay in the mud, he could only be a parasite on the world tree. Sky.

He wanted to hear the sound of the wind, taste the sweetness of fruits, and smell the fragrance of flowers. Countless desires devoured Hei Wang, making him no longer pure, but also stronger.

The magic acts for the black king's desire, creating everything he needs

He imitated the creature named dinosaur in the past and created a reptile body with scales, plus wings that were so huge that they could cover the sky, but it was not enough. This is the era of the World Tree, and the only way to break through the crown of the World Tree , to see the sky.

This body still lacks the power to oppose it.

But the Black King is not in a hurry, he has already found the power to compete with the words of the spirit, as time goes by, his soft and sticky black body naturally forms a special pattern, which is formed to release the magic power Natural magic circle.

That was the prototype of today's alchemy.

In the center of the magic circle is the black king's body made of dinosaur fossils. With the dancing of the black slime, alchemy appeared in the world for the first time.

During that alchemy that spanned the entire continent, the Black King killed himself who had been hiding underground in the past and turned into a greater existence.

Nid Hogg was born!
