Love and passion, cutting up the wasteland.

Chapter 594: Orangutans Can Go to Heaven Too (Combined Chapter)

Accompanied by wolf cavalry, Romi, Lius and other technology hunters came to the city.

The employer they escorted, the herdsman Kone, had also completed the contract. After hearing that he was a trainer of the Far Traveler Clan, someone came to pick him up, which made Kone a little flattered.

He comes from a small tribe.

I have never received such treatment before.

"It's different now than it was in the past," the soldier leading him saw the doubt and said, "Since the Red King came to Shandi, the potential of the beast trainers has also been mobilized. Not only is he an incredible beast trainer himself, he can even share this power. This is truly unexpected."

In the past, animal trainers were not much different from ordinary herders, except that they were able to better control the herds and make herding easier.

Only when there is a disaster,
They can use their abilities to help the tribe escape in advance, or set bait to confuse ferocious beasts...increasing everyone's chances of survival.

Frequent animal disasters.

It also created the status of animal trainer.

However, treating the symptoms does not address the root cause.

The bottom line is that the beasts in the disaster were too ferocious, and ordinary animal trainers could do nothing about them; while the cattle and sheep grazing on the grassland were too docile, and too strong animal training skills were unnecessary.

If you can't achieve high, you can't do low.

It's stuck here.

Therefore, even though the Shan tribe possessed the ability to tame beasts, which seemed quite rare to the outside world, it did not cause much change or disturbance... until the appearance of Faceless, which broke this limit.

When the Red King enables ordinary people in Shandi to completely fight against beast disasters, some people have predicted that the status of animal trainers may plummet - because the logic that originally supported it no longer exists.

But the result is just the opposite.

People's demand for animal trainers has increased, making this profession very popular.

The reason is also very simple——

"Bone-burying wolves, beaked gorillas... and what are those? Am I seeing things right?" Romi looked around secretly while poking his companions with his elbows. "Are they land bats and swamp velociraptors?"

Liu Si adjusted his glasses and nodded.

They had already witnessed the appearance of wolf riders and the process of capturing orangutans.

But when we really arrived in the land of Flash.

After entering the wall and seeing off their employer, the technology hunters began to move freely.

They discovered that there were more than just these two types of wild animals everywhere, but they were the largest in number. After all, they were the main component of the animal disaster besides the beaked beast.

As for the others, they might just be passing by.

Then he got caught.

"The ones following them should be the animal trainers of Shan..." Liu Si said, "In addition to traditional livestock, the range of animals that can be domesticated has greatly increased."

"How do you explain this?" Romi looked at him with a hint of expectation in his eyes.

In the past when we worked together, if we encountered any problems, my partner was usually able to answer them.

However, this time he was destined to be disappointed.

"...It's hard to say." Liu Si shook his head and changed the subject, saying something else. "I read in the research notes of a senior. He proposed a conjecture."

"From an anatomical point of view, the most active human beings today - that is us - our body structure does not seem to have evolved on this land. Based on the gravity coefficient calculated by the mechanics, humans should be more slender and light enough to glide directly, or simply become heavier and larger, so that they can have enough friction to keep their feet on the ground... at least like the Sheak people."

"Compared to this world, humans are just like outsiders."

"Oh, you said this." Romi thought for a moment, "But I remember that the mainstream school of mechanics has refuted what you said - if we are not the native race of this land, then why are we so adapted to the environment here?"

Especially, as strength grows.

From exaggerated strength, speed and recovery ability to physical changes that can withstand extreme environments such as high temperature, low oxygen and toxic gas erosion.

Many of their behaviors even exceed the scope of carbon-based life forms. If you think about it carefully, they are even more outrageous than robotic skeletons.

Isn't this the result of evolution?
"I know all this." Liu Si nodded, "But what if... this ability to adapt is acquired?"

If you exercise hard, you will become stronger.

If you aim, you will be more sensitive...if you are hit, you will become stronger.

These self-repair characteristics can be normally manifested in ordinary organisms, but they seem too exaggerated when it comes to the "cultivation" system that is now widely popular in the mainland.

It even has a sense of use it or lose it.

Liu Si looked at his palm and said, "The theory of genetic modification has a certain influence in the End of the World. Their school has even conducted experiments and found evidence from the previous report of the Berserkers of the Shek Kingdom. It is basically becoming the mainstream...but it has never been suspected to us humans."

"The mechanics believe that they have not seen any signs of genetic modification in humans...but what if the current level of detection is just not enough?"

"You know, compared to that ancient civilization, even if we have worked hard for thousands of years, the part we can revive is only ten thousandth... or even one billionth. It's like pulling out a spark that has not yet faded from a pile of ashes."

Technology hunters have a say in this regard.

"Indeed." Romi put his hands on his hips. "Then what part of our human body do you think has been modified? I have read the puberty education manual left over from ancient times... There is no big difference between us. We all have two eyes and one mouth."

"Including the Sons of Scorched Earth?" Liu Si asked back.

"Uh." Romi paused.

Both of them are sons of the green plains among humans, but he had forgotten about this... these compatriots with strange hair and eyes.

"You want to say that the Sons of the Scorched Earth were transformed... but we all know that they are a subspecies that gradually evolved in the wasteland after the fall of the old empire..."

Tech Hunters through archaeological ruins.

It is confirmed that before the world we have today, there were at least two unified civilizations.

One is that it is closer, the Skeleton Empire thousands of years ago. The current continent is built on their ruins.

The other is an ancient civilization that existed before the Skeleton Empire, and it is unknown when it started and how long it existed.

Not to mention the technological hunters, even the long-lived skeletons cannot judge the origin and continuation of this civilization, whether this civilization has been interrupted, and whether there were earlier civilizations before it.

It can only be collectively referred to as the "Old Empire".

The skeletons who overthrew the old empire named the unified continental regime they established the "Second Empire".

In today's world, there is no force that can compare with their influence.

"According to the book 'The Theory of Evolution' written by the Old Empire, the evolution of organisms can easily take millions of years," Liu Si said softly, "but from the fall of the Old Empire to the establishment of the Second Empire, it was only a few generations... In such a short period of chaos, is it enough for us humans to evolve into a subspecies like the Sons of the Scorched Earth?"

Romi shut up.

He knew that he would not be able to win the debate with his companion academically, and he had no intention of doing so.

The reason for refuting is just to raise questions that I have and hope to get answers.

"Then what do you say we should do?" He muttered quietly, "If we can figure this out, we don't have to be tech hunters anymore. We can just go to the end of the world and apply for professorships."

"Don't worry." Liu Si smiled, "The problems we can think of, those mechanics have been arguing for hundreds of years... Each school has also given its own hypothesis." "And what I just thought of..." The Tech Hunter looked into the distance, surrounded by a priest who was covered in a black robe and his face was covered tightly in shadows. He slowly walked towards the team of animal trainers, "It's just one of them."

The priest, like other believers, had a striking silver-gray mark on his back, but unlike the people around him, the ash on his back flashed a hint of red, which was painted with a special paint.

Like a burning firewood.

It's like a flame that's about to be rekindled.

"Is that the Red King?" Romi was attracted by his gaze, "Is that the First Fire mentioned in Shandi?"

As for Embers and First Flame, they had already inquired about this new faith.

In addition to Liu Si, there are other technology hunters whose records have been turned into manuals.

Liu Si didn't answer, but heard a long music sounding.

The man in black robe put something to his lips and blew it, and the animal trainer beside him sang along with him. In an instant, a series of symphonies were formed, floating out along the Great Wall.

Just when the technology hunters were confused about what it meant.

Countless white figures screamed "Oh oh" and climbed over the wall from inside and outside, their powerful claws climbing up the cracks in the rocks. There was a sound of thunder, and the earth shook.

But it was the orangutan who abandoned his job.

Or rather, they need to take a break.

The trainer maintained order while distributing the prepared food to the giant apes, with each one getting a full basket... Only the black-robed man who first blew the sound to summon the animal bones did not move.

The orangutan was extremely excited after receiving the food - although he didn't know why he was caught here and it was tiring to work every day...but the only benefit was that he could eat full from the edema.

Compared to in the wild.

That is quite rare.

But they were obviously extremely hungry, and after receiving the food, they did not start to scramble for the food like people imagined monkeys would do. Instead, they first raised the basket in their claws in the same direction in a strange way.

Towards the man in black robe.

The man in black robe raised his hand, revealing his powerful knuckles.

"Whoa whoa!"

The orangutans shouted excitedly, then took a piece of food from the basket and threw it to the man in black robe. It landed at his feet and soon piled up like a mountain.

As the bone sounds of the trainers' joint accompaniment sounded again, they began to reveal their true nature and eat voraciously. After a hearty feast, they were led back to their workstations.

Naturally, the man in black robe did not pick up the gorilla food on the ground to eat. He just asked others to clean it up and then turned around to use it next time.

"...It's amazing." Liu Si understood the way the other party controlled the orangutan.

——It is difficult to tame these beaked apes simply by relying on the taming ability of the wandering tribes. Otherwise, the people of Shandi would have done it long ago, and why would they wait until now?

However, they are intelligent.

This is both an advantage.

It is also a weakness.

Just as humans can be deceived and brainwashed, chimpanzees have cognition, so cognition can also be used to control them.

Just like the old ape encountered by Romi, Liu Si and others, it formed a tribal-like organization under the guise of the White Tent "Sanctuary".

——The situation is the same now.

The difference is that they transferred the orangutan's belief in the White Tent to specific people.

The first fire of the land of Flash.

The herders' ability to tame animals is only used as a bridge of communication... This requires much less talent and energy than forcibly controlling and taming them.

Just like the scene just now.

Accepting food is easy.

But if you want so many animals to take out their own portions and share them with each other... then it has to be their leader.

In this way, it is like giving orders to subordinates.

That elder beaked gorilla was the former "King of Beasts" who had been defeated.

Liu Si was surprised.

Everyone else is thinking about using their abilities to tame wild beasts...but he's the only one thinking about using his abilities to tame beasts to preach to them?
This is no longer a heretical concept.

——Orangutans can also go to heaven.

Of course, this is only effective against animals like them...the other party obviously has a specific plan and program.

There are other methods to domesticate other animals.

It's good as long as the result is the same.

"That must be the Red King," Liu Si judged, picking up where Romi left off. "The people in the Wandering Tribe say that he is the most powerful and greatest animal tamer in the history of Shan... I thought it was an exaggeration before, but I didn't expect it to be an underestimate."

He couldn't judge their specific animal taming abilities, but seeing as how the gorillas had fully comprehended his intentions, they must be extremely strong.

Just talk about this thinking.

They are all unique.

It is precisely because the Red King has developed a variety of different animal taming techniques, cleverly targeting the habits and characteristics of different creatures, that other animal tamers who are not as strong as him can use their existing abilities to pry open the giant beasts that were previously untamable.

The scope suddenly opened up.

The animal trainers in Shandi began to be put to good use, and it was natural that there was a shortage of talent.

As for the specific rewards...

With Liu Si's knowledge, he didn't dare to force his imagination. He could only say: If someone judges their potential only from the past alliances of grassland tribes, even if the expectations are set higher, it is an underestimate.

This reminded him of the hypothesis he hadn't finished talking about with Romi...

If humans are really outsiders.

Flash, that's where they first appeared.

"Everyone, the Red King invites you."

At this time, a soldier in iron armor spotted the Tech Hunter and rushed over to invite him, "If you don't mind... this way."

They quickly returned the gift, and there was nothing wrong with that.

However, before leaving, Romi and Lius looked at each other and looked into the distance at the same time, looking at the priest who was gradually leaving in the opposite direction surrounded by the Ashes Cult. Silver-gray and sparks were dancing on his black robe.

Wasn't that what he was just doing?
