After learning this, the Lord of the Swamp breathed a sigh of relief. So far, the first step has been taken safely.
He transformed into a beast. Relying on his strong body and past experience, he found that it was not difficult to defeat these beasts with the help of the rules of beasts.
“Perhaps it shouldn’t be difficult in the first place. If these beasts are removed from the bonus of the rules of beasts, at most they will be ordinary individuals with extraordinary power and can travel around the surface.”
"Although I didn't major in physical combat before, my body has reached a star level after all. It's not a shortcoming. It's even stronger than an ordinary star level because I majored in life."
“Under the same rules, if I can’t crush you easily, it doesn’t make sense.”
Previously, they seemed to be playing in an arena match. Due to the rules of the arena, they who were stronger could not use their various abilities.
Although these weak opponents cannot break their defenses, according to the rules of the arena, touching them counts as points, and the more points you can win.
If they don't follow the rules, they will be caught by the "invincible" referee, and they can only be beaten passively, or they can only dodge.
Now they are familiar with the rules of the ring and fight according to the rules. With their size, it is easy to crush them.
“The biggest problem now is that this rule may have some kind of negative impact.” On the other side, a teammate also gave an evaluation after trying out the fighting method of transforming into a beast.
This fighting method, although it does not allow them to exert their full strength, is no longer passive.
But the point is that the power of rules is a very powerful force.
People can be tamed, and what tames people the most is precisely the rules.
This kind of domestication of rules is not necessarily a bad thing. People living in this world must abide by various rules more or less.
For example, drink water when you are thirsty and eat when you are hungry.
This kind of rule is engraved in life. Naturally, no one can resist it unless it is life-threatening.
There are also some rules that do not actually hinder your life, such as the need to wear clothes to go out on the street.
Your failure to comply will not actually affect your life in any way, but the negative social effects that will follow will give you a mental blow.
Even for violating public order and good customs, one would squat in an orange.
As a result, everyone has been accustomed to wearing clothes on the street since they were young. Except for some task-masters, this has been completely integrated into the rules of life.
The same is true here. If you fight according to the rules of a beast for a long time, you will become more and more like a beast.
For example, in the battle of beasts, more attention is paid to the instinct of the body, emphasizing instinct before wisdom.
Once the time is a little longer, it may cause many adverse effects, and maybe the brain will be destroyed as a result.
In this case, fighting according to these rules will have negative effects.
No one wants to complete a mission and then truly become a beast.
Therefore, they began to explore the cave while trying not to cause a fight.
However, they soon discovered that it was simply a delusion to successfully explore without fighting.
In this cave, due to the scarcity of food, except for a group of herbivores that have evolved to survive by eating soil, other beasts have become particularly violent and aggressive.
For food, they can perform various horrific hunting actions.
This kind is relatively easy to find.
In addition, there are also those who disguise themselves as corpse meat and then lure other beasts to eat it. Half of their bodies are specially used for beasts to eat. While eating, they will be attacked nearby. These hunting methods are all very "clever". If they are not wild beasts, then as long as you are vigilant and observant, you can generally avoid them.
The problem is that they find that as they and others continue to use the rules of the beast, some characteristics of the beast gradually and inevitably begin to appear.
The Swamp Lord felt that he was starting to get hungry.
This is a feeling that I have not experienced in thousands of years.
After his strength reaches a certain level, he can directly use energy to maintain his own life form, instead of inefficient things like eating.
He almost forgot what it felt like to be hungry, so much so that when the feeling first appeared, he thought he was being attacked.
So, when they were hungry and saw the beast disguised as a piece of meat, they instinctively had the urge to go up and eat it.
Similar changes are still taking place. While they rely on the rules of the beast to pass through this cave, they gradually begin to be bound by the rules of the beast.
They need to perform various behaviors to satisfy the beast's regular desires. Hunger is just one kind. Later, they even have the idea of occupying the "territory" and looking for female beasts to reproduce.
Fortunately, they were strong-willed and resisted these impulses.
But these are not the most troublesome. The most troublesome effect of the beast's rules is the fear of death.
As their exploration gradually approached the beast's true form, they suddenly didn't dare to get any closer.
The beast is extremely powerful, and the closer you get, the more you can feel this.
Japanese-level individuals will also restrain their influence, fearing that if they are not careful, their influence will promote souls related to them.
The evil beast is not like this. Although it is in a state of slumber, its aura completely envelopes the land.
They knew clearly how powerful this beast was, and they also knew that this beast could easily crush them to death.
But in this situation, they have to get close to this beast and make a fuss about each other.
This kind of behavior is commonly known as death.
The essence of the beast’s rules is actually the continuation of survival.
The same is true for eating, the same is true for occupying territory, and the same is true for reproduction.
Now they are asked to commit suicide, and the fear of death caused by the rules instantly rises.
They were clearly prepared before, but when they got here, they couldn't go any further.
The inner fear and desire for life continue to rise.
The lord of the swamp even has all kinds of strange thoughts in his mind.
"This is all because we know how powerful the beast is. Therefore, wisdom is a trap for survival. We need to abandon wisdom and embrace instinct..."
The Lord of the Swamp did not realize that deep in his soul, the primitive that belonged to the herd, was beginning to expand at an extremely fast speed.
Even quickly reversed the previous disadvantage and began to suppress Lvsen's original team.
I lost my subscriptions a lot, and my physical condition has been bad. My right wrist has always been very painful, and now my head is still a little dizzy and uncomfortable.
The first update will be 2000 words, sorry.
