Chapter 224: Dragonborn of the Jungle
This is a part of Yao Yan's test.
When people do not understand the formation process and reasons, they often make associations through association and imagination.
This is the underlying structure of human thinking logic and cannot be changed.
But Yao Yan does not care whether people will associate the stretched dough with a snake, nor whether they will think of an oval object with two holes as a human face.
What he wants to do is to identify the era based on the differences in the original means of tracing the origin of a certain thing in different eras.
However, needless to say, Yao Yan is more inclined to the "modern" and "contemporary" of his lifetime.
After all, "genes" are the product of modern research definitions.
After thinking about it, Yao Yan raised his hand.
There are only four fingers on the palm like a lizard.
Scales like leather are all over her body.
To be precise, Yao Yan has now modified the demon she is in into a "Dragonborn" through the power of "draft".
And now, she is "returning to her ancestors" through the ability of "pretender".
Yao Yan's operation is to use the ability of the Deformed Shadow Crow to help this body "return to its ancestors", then solidify and spread these genes, and add some characteristics that are conducive to his group rule.
Based on the genetic instincts of crows and wolves, the social structure of social animals and "leaders" is established.
Although crows live in groups, there is no clear concept of "alpha wolf".
In this world where the role of genes is amplified and genes determine most of the characteristics such as personality and habits, using genes is a must and the simplest means.
However, compared with the social structure of wolf pack society that needs to be added and modified, Yao Yan is not stupid enough to start from scratch completely-
Demon City.
Yao Yan obtained a lot of genetic materials from the Demon City.
Although he knew that the queen of the Demon City did not have much dominance over those demons, he needed the genes of "valuing the queen", "relying on the group", and "cooperating and dividing labor" from the demons.
And now, it is time for Yao Yan to accept the results.
His eyes fell on the oval things that looked more like eggs of reptiles than fruits.
His estimated time was not wrong.
Soon, he saw strange creatures hatching from the pale green demon eggs.
They were palm-sized humanoid creatures with scales on their bodies and long, soft tails behind them.
And, on their backs, there was a pair of wings.
From the moment they came into contact with the external environment, the pale green on their bodies began to turn into emerald green.
The long, soft tails and wings covered with green patterns were slowly opening with trembling movements.
And, soon, he saw these demon cubs with inhuman features slowly opening their eyes and looking towards him, and trying to get closer to him.
At least part of it was successful.
Watching their movements, Yao Yan's mind flashed.
From the perspective of development and formation, various legends and myths, various legendary and mythical creatures, are not only physical characteristics, but their supernatural abilities are often related to natural things.
Thunder and lightning, sky, fire, water, sand and soil, day and night, flowers, trees, spring, summer, autumn and winter.
These are the creative materials that are within reach.
A giant dragon that uses thunder and lightning in various ways such as spitting can even create a "giant dragon composed of thunder and lightning", just like the ability of the Eastern Dragon in his country before his death to "move clouds and rain, summon thunder and wind".
[Draft] This power that the lady from the hell world "exchanged" with him, whether it is "creation" or "association", Yao Yan will not put it aside.
Yao Yan does not intend to, nor does he intend to make major changes.
What sky dragon, earth dragon, fire dragon, water dragon, day dragon, night dragon, he does not intend to make.
After all, at present, all the power in this world is integrated with genes and comes from genes.
So, he does not intend to make abilities that cannot be expressed in flesh and blood.
But
Flowers, trees, and trees, the abilities that this demon has, he will not let go.
Named after color, it can be called green dragon, named after source, it can be called forest dragon.
Yao Yan selected several abilities for the group of dragon-born demons he was going to create.
The first is the camouflage ability of the individual itself.
Based on the forest, this group must have the ability to camouflage and be able to rely on terrain such as flowers, plants and trees for camouflage and habitat.
The second is the offensive and defensive capabilities.
It goes without saying that the strong body and strength bring offensive power. For defense, you can choose to combine skin leather scales and bark. For attack, you can also use plant toxins, and at the same time increase the ability of these dragon-born demons to resist toxins.
Third
Language and cognition.
The "rumor" ability of the black crow needs to rely on communication and cognition.
For him, the value of a race without wisdom and communication will be greatly reduced.
Just like the demon city.
The demon city does not have "leisure".
His creation race needs to reduce the efficiency of some communication and also needs to increase some "leisure".
Things like "culture" and "art" are difficult to produce in the previous demon city, and it is difficult to appear in the demon society that can accurately transmit all goals by relying on pheromones.
Yao Yan did not intend to reproduce a highly efficient and truly social race.
At this time, the demon cubs had already crawled to his feet.
"Ah-"
"Ah-"
"Ah-"
Amid the young cries, Yao Yan stretched out his hand, crawled on his body, and opened his membrane wings covered with veins like leaf veins, showing them to them.
At the same time, her claws and tail inserted into the ground, becoming thicker, just like the feet of demons, and began to absorb nutrients with a function almost like roots.
And soon, the demon cubs, whose imitation and learning abilities he had intentionally enhanced, opened their eyes and began to spread their wings swayingly, trying to imitate their "mother" and "king".
The young wings were densely covered with blood vessels like plant ducts, which also helped them start slow photosynthesis.
However, among these genes, the demon cubs who instinctively worship, fear, and identify with the "mother" and the "king" do not know what the king they worship is thinking.
"We need to speed up their growth, otherwise they will grow too slowly and sacrifice their lifespan. Ten to twenty years of lifespan is enough. No, we can continue to compress it. Five to ten years of rapid growth and rapid death will be enough. It doesn't need to be more, but we only need to ensure the birth rate. The lifespan can still be extended. As long as they do enough "collecting treasures" and are in a good mood, they can extend their lifespan by ten to twenty years."
"Rapid growth and rapid death can speed up gene replacement and optimization, and can also increase the speed of population diffusion competition, but I need to control it to avoid the emergence of populations that do not meet my needs."
"Well, even if the rebellion It's okay to change my mother's tribe. What I need is for their race to spread quickly, and use the instinct of "collecting treasures" injected into their genes to collect "complexly patterned" items, and then collect various human documents and items. "
"I hope this "Jungle Dragon Dragonborn", I hope this group of demons can move faster. "
"However, I have some backup plans, which can affect all Jungle Dragonborns and may be erased and filled in the gene replacement and mutation. "
"Even if I choose to reproduce myself to avoid mutation and remove the ability to mate with other individuals, I still need to pay more attention. "
