After thinking for a long time, Yang Yu hesitated and gave an answer:
"Is there some invisible force driving them to fight each other?"
"That's a pretty general answer. Not right, but not wrong either." Owen smiled. "There is indeed some kind of motivation that drives them to fight each other. You can simply understand it as they all want to become stronger.
Killing an opponent that is equally powerful or stronger than themselves can make them stronger, so they do that.
Just like some humans, in order to become stronger, they will constantly challenge opponents who are stronger than themselves.
After all, there are differences between Warcraft and ordinary creatures.
A fatal wound to an ordinary creature may be only a minor injury to a Warcraft. A wound that takes an ordinary creature several months to heal may only take a few days for a Warcraft.
Their obsession to become stronger far outweighs the pain of being injured, and even outweighs survival itself."
Then why are they so persistent in becoming stronger
Maybe it was set that way from the beginning.
Combining what he saw at the Biological Research Institute that day and what the nine-life cat demon said, Yang Yu easily came to this conclusion.
"What is the purpose of those who make them stronger?"
Irving put his finger to his lips in a silent gesture, and it was clear that this question also required extra points.
Although he couldn't say it, Owen still gave Yang Yu a reminder:
“Why do you think a person would want something to be stronger
the same.
Sometimes there is more than one reason.
In the past, there was no such thing as docile monsters. Even the herbivorous monsters were violent and difficult to tame.
As long as they have the chance, they will defeat other monsters, and then devour the magic boxes, magic crystals, bones, etc. of other monsters with the richest magic power to become more powerful. "
"According to what you said, the Warcraft today is very different from the Warcraft in the past." Yang Yu asked tentatively.
"Of course. Life is full of surprises. Today's monsters are closer to ordinary creatures."
Owen snapped his fingers and the frozen scene restarted.
The crocodile monster and the snake monster fought a thrilling battle. In the end, they each gave the other a fatal blow. The two monsters fell to the ground like a mountain, and no one survived.
Only the hungry little cheetah was left, shivering in the grass.
The cheetah sniffed the wounds of the two monsters, and as if it smelled something bad, it ran three kilometers.
But after running three kilometers, it slowly walked back, as if it was desperately enduring the smell of the monster. It tore a piece of meat from the dead monster, dragged it aside and feasted on it.
It hadn't eaten for a long time, and even though these two monsters smelled bad, it didn't want to miss the opportunity to fill its stomach.
Owen snapped his fingers again, and the time in the space continued to speed up. The cheetah came and went, and went and came again.
The meat of the monster seemed to be easier to digest than ordinary meat. After a few hours, the cheetah became hungry. After many failed hunts, it came back again and again.
Perhaps because the cheetah discovered that the monster's flesh was slowly disappearing as time passed, it simply squatted where it was and turned into an eating machine, devouring the corpse day and night.
At first it avoided some particularly unpalatable and smelly places, but in the end, it ate those places as well.
Three days later, the bodies of the two monsters were devoured by it, and the originally skinny cheetah turned into the appearance of a 500-kilogram brown bear, with snake or crocodile scales faintly growing under its hair.
Walking through the grassland, it saw a herd of deer and killed a deer using skills it had never seen before.
It squatted down and ate heartily, but after two bites, it was no longer hungry. Then, it became uninterested in the deer and turned to search for other magical beasts.
Yang Yu opened the system, and the attributes of the beast that was originally invisible on the panel were listed in front of Yang Yu. It was not much worse than the two monsters just now.
"Ordinary creatures have turned into monsters."
"This monster caused a lot of damage later. It took two S-level adventure teams to barely deal with it." Owen recalled and then switched the screen.
One after another incredible scenes appeared before Yang Yu's eyes.
Some monsters gave birth to some ordinary creatures and raised them up; some ordinary creatures gave birth to monsters; some ordinary creatures suddenly transformed into monsters while walking.
Yang Yu looked serious and asked, "Is this what you mean by life is full of accidents?"
Owen did not directly answer the question: "Back to [Magic Poverty Syndrome].
Magical power deficiency syndrome does not only occur in humans.
Animals can also suffer from magic deficiency, but unlike humans, humans can survive with the help of technology, but once they are infected with that disease, the only thing waiting for them is death.
Those who survive are individuals that can adapt to this environment and give birth to more offspring.
Now, for most ordinary creatures, the magic power in their bodies and the magic power in the outside world have found a balance.
But sometimes external factors or internal factors will break the balance between their bodies and the outside world, causing them to turn into monsters.
However, turning into a monster is an exception. Most creatures will die once the magic balance in their bodies is broken.
It's good that you know the boundary between these two species is not as clear as we imagine.
Try to imagine if the monsters turned back into ordinary creatures and reproduced.
What do you think is the probability that their offspring will turn into monsters after the balance of magic power is broken
Rare, and sometimes, only temporary.”
Hearing this, Yang Yu frowned, “I have checked in the Library of Everything, and every time the Demon King descends, it seems to cause an explosive growth of Magical Beasts.
Some people also said that the overall level of magic in this world is declining, and it will only recover a little when the gate to the demon world is opened.
How many hidden monsters are there?"
Owen shook his head. "The coming of the devil is more difficult to deal with than you think. This is a global catastrophe."
Yang Yu fell silent, remembering how the Demon King had imprisoned the ancestors of the Star Eye Clan for a long time and transformed them into monsters to fight against the brave Laux.
"Has anyone ever transformed into a monster?"
Owen replied calmly, "Yes. But it is not easy to transform from a subhuman into a monster.
Many people have already adapted to eating the flesh of monsters, but there are no changes in them.
The parts that make up their lives are quite stable and rarely mutate spontaneously. That is why there are so many different sub-human races in this world."
"I think I understand. What is the last creature?"
Owen said without hesitation: "They are creatures created entirely by magic, and the parts that make them up are quite stable. Even their offspring look like them.
The only thing that can change their appearance is the amount of magic power they absorb from the surrounding environment during embryonic development and growth.
The stronger the magic around them, the stronger they can grow."
Yang Yu knew that the "they" that Owen was talking about were the monsters that people often talked about, such as goblins and slimes.
