Chapter 217 Evolution and War

After repeatedly confirming that the defense work has been done well, and setting up a special committee to take charge of these matters, Tang Zhao can finally find a place to evolve with peace of mind.

Finding a place in the complex underground cave as a pupa chamber, Tang Zhao lay down in it and began to evolve.

The items he carried with him this time were a few goshawk tail feathers. The ability he wanted most now was flying, which would greatly improve his mobility and flexibility.

The overall time is 54 days, and the rate of growth has slowed down again. The last time was 27 days, and the last time it was [-] days.

Even so, this time is already a long time-three months without the power core and balance center being effective is undoubtedly not a small matter for any regime, especially for a multi-ethnic settlement Even more so.

But it is already very unfair to increase the speed of evolution and growth through methods such as deep sleep. Tang Zhao's real age in this world may be less than two years old, and he can grow to the level of this giant beast. His size has a great strength that matches his size is his biggest advantage.

The long-lived species has many abilities that are envied by human beings, which does not include growth speed. The stronger the creature is, the more difficult it is to grow and reproduce. The appearance of Tang Zhao violated this law.

His vision gradually blurred, and his consciousness quickly entered the unknown space. This time, the space changed the most—not only a large amount of grass appeared, but a few trees occasionally appeared, and there was also a source of water.

In front of Tang Zhao's eyes was a gurgling stream, which slowly flowed down along the terrain, and finally converged into a pool.

Tang Zhao couldn't wait to jump into the pool, and began to dig down the sand with his sharp and huge claws.

This time it really made him discover the difference.

Usually, the plaques dug out from the ground were pitch black and hexagonal, with a simple pattern of pentagrams engraved on them, but now the plaques have turned light gray, and the patterns on them have also become the shape of the moon.

Trying to dig out other plaques buried in the normal ground, their color also changed to light gray, while the patterns on them remained the same.

The content of the evolution is still two items of directional enhancement and random enhancement. Tang Zhao chose [magic ability] and [body organs].

{Selected: breath/discharge/high-speed evolution/breathing system}——
To Tang Zhao's senses, it seemed like a blink of an eye, but in fact nearly three months had passed.

The surrounding area was pitch black, but Tang Zhao obviously felt that the space was much narrower. It wasn't that the space became smaller, but that his body size had grown again.

Stretching his claws, he began to dig the soil in one direction, and after a few strokes, the blocked passage was opened again, and the dim light shone on his scales through the entrance and exit.

The movement on his side was quickly caught, and a crowd of various races quickly surrounded him. Before Tang Zhao could take a good look at his current appearance, Bourne and others approached him with serious faces. .

"It's not convenient here, let's go to the command room and talk!"

Seeing them like this, Tang Zhao didn't have any ink marks, and just followed them away.

The situation as promised by Julia was not bad. The king of Oran survived for more than 50 days after that, and finally died inevitably.

The biggest problem is here. He appointed his eldest son, the eldest prince, as the successor to the throne. However, the great nobles in the country basically support the second prince as the successor. There was a sharp conflict between the royal power and the nobles.

The power of the Oran nobles cannot be said to be small. The big nobles have the power to mint coins, tax revenues, and even legislate and conscription in their own territories. country.

For now, the royal family can still control the situation by relying on prestige and the powerful guards in their hands, but the authority of the royal family is gradually weakening, which is a dangerous signal.

Perhaps it was because the eldest prince paid attention to this point that he chose to join forces with merchants and small nobles in remote areas to fight against the big nobles. That's why he was chosen by the king to be his heir. It may be because the king simply prefers this older child. The specific situation is not known in the Tang Dynasty. Know.

In short, it was in their interest for the great nobles to unite, protest the outcome outright, and try to operate so that the second prince could take the throne.

Logically speaking, in the face of this situation, the Guards should be on the side of the eldest prince. After all, they are the heirs chosen by the previous king, but the reality is that they did not express their position, but stayed safely near the capital. Wait and see.

The specific reason is unknown, but due to the impact of this incident, the eldest prince's forces are at a great disadvantage as a whole. After the situation fermented for more than ten days, the war finally broke out between the two sides.

With the guards as protectors, the capital as the center of power is neutral in the storm, but in the countryside or other provinces, this is not the case.Several conflicts have broken out between the two sides, mainly concentrated in those commercial cities.

The tentative attack on the city by the traditional aristocrats with soldiers and horses has not yielded anything for the time being, and the future situation is unknown.

Because of the tense situation on Oran's side, the relationship between Karak Solma and Ruford has also become a little delicate.

According to the previous plan, they sent most of the forest patrol team to the east of the forest to monitor the humans who might cross the border, and the humans also sent a legion of border guards to the "Pink Copper Forest" to keep an eye on Tang Zhao and the others. .

The atmosphere should not be said to be tense, but it also has nothing to do with friendship and harmony.

In this case, it was just the right time for Tang Zhao to wake up from his deep sleep.

After listening to everyone's reports, Tang Zhao bid farewell to everyone and began to experiment with his new body and abilities impatiently.

First of all, the most obvious is the increase in body size - it has grown steadily to 16 meters, which can almost catch up with the largest group of terrestrial carnivorous reptiles on the earth in the previous life.

The general shape and body structure only have some slight adjustments in details. The previous body is already very suitable for fighting and activities, and there is no need for any earth-shaking changes.

The most eye-catching new ability is naturally "breathing", Tang Zhao only figured out the principle after pondering for a while.

In this world, creatures like giant dragons can breathe because they have a special organ for producing magic power. Tang Zhao definitely didn't have this kind of thing before, but he has it after evolution.

The type of breath is very common, which is to spit out acid/venom like a high-pressure water gun, causing corrosive damage to the enemy, which is lackluster in this respect.

What is really important is the matter itself of being able to breathe. Being able to breathe means that he has a magic organ, which means he can learn and release magic.
