Standing where he was, Karunu began to think seriously about this issue.
In a normal society, there will always be more people alive than dead.
This is a very normal thing.
Otherwise, if there are more dead than alive, then this race is estimated to be extinct soon.
Therefore, although it is feasible to rely solely on the kobolds who are old and dead, and use the blood of these kobolds as an aid to help those living kobolds transform, it is impossible to do it immediately.
If this is the case, it will take a long time to popularize all kobolds.
Karunu can see the future.
In a certain period of time, of course, the number of dead people is far less than that of living people, but as time goes by, along with the death of generations, the blood power of these people will continue to add up, and eventually it will reach a level that is enough to wipe out all of them. The point where people cover.
The dead are not as numerous as the living, and this is only a short-term situation.
If the time is prolonged and the eyes are far away, then the result will inevitably be the opposite.
There must be more dead than alive.
This is an inevitable result.
If this is the case, there seems to be no problem.
Thinking of this, Karunu couldn't help but suddenly realized that he was no longer obsessed with the problem in front of him.
The problem of the source of blood has been solved, and there are still many problems to come.
For example, if the Kobold's bloodline is improved without excessively reducing the Kobold's reproductive ability.
Kobolds are inherently weak, their strength and endurance are not as good as humans, and their intelligence is not as good as other intelligent races.
The only advantage is that it can reproduce, and its ability to reproduce is extremely strong.
If a couple of kobolds are not restrained, they will soon have a large number of offspring and reproduce a large number of new kobolds under the condition of sufficient food.
It is precisely because of this tenacious vitality and terrifying ability to reproduce that kobolds can occupy a place in this world and become one of the races all over the world.
There is no doubt that this is a huge advantage.
And improving the dragon's blood in the kobold's body will inevitably lead to a decline in the kobold's ability to reproduce.
The stronger the bloodline of a creature, the weaker its fertility.
This is one of the common rules in many worlds.
There are many deep-seated reasons, which are also easy to explain.
Even if it is a human being, as long as its own strength reaches a certain level and the number of life transformations is enough, then in the end, it will also be extremely difficult to reproduce.
And the same goes for the legendary dragon.
In this world, although giant dragons are synonymous with power and mystery, in contrast, they are also extremely rare in number and extremely weak in their ability to reproduce.
And once the blood in the kobold's body is improved, and its life level is raised to a certain level, it will inevitably reduce its own reproductive ability in the future, making its advantage in this aspect weaken.
This is unavoidable.
But it is also something Karunu wants to avoid as much as possible.
So at this moment, many thoughts flashed through Karunu's mind, and he continued to think.
Regarding this problem, it didn't take long for him to think of a solution.
That is through screening.
A comprehensive assessment and education system has been established to train and assess underage kobolds, and then select the outstanding ones.
Only outstanding individuals who have passed numerous assessments and are screened out have the qualifications to undergo the baptism of dragon veins to transform their own bloodlines.
In this way, the potential of the kobolds can be stimulated to the greatest extent, and the part of the kobolds with the most characteristics can be selected and cultivated.
In the foreseeable future, due to the baptism of this part of the elite kobolds, the bloodline will undergo transformation, and their ability to reproduce will become weaker and weaker.
But it doesn't matter.
Because there are still a large number of kobolds who have not passed the screening.
Because they did not pass the screening, the characteristics of this group of kobolds will not change. Although they lost the opportunity to transform their own blood, they can still retain the terrifying reproductive ability of kobolds.
And as long as there are this group of mediocre kobolds, the overall reproductive ability of the kobold population will not be reduced too much.
Of course, in this way, there will be more or less minor problems in the future.
But on the whole, this choice is the best.
It can take into account the whole as much as possible, and at the same time open an upward channel for the majority of kobolds, so that they are qualified to transform their blood through their own efforts.
And those ordinary kobolds with a larger base are the foundation, that is, the source of fresh blood for the kobold race, and also the provider of the original blood.
Thinking of this, Karunu raised his head and stopped thinking.
In addition to the two problems in front of me, there are still many problems that need to be solved in order to achieve the situation Karunu envisioned.
However, under the current circumstances, these issues are not too anxious for the time being.
Karunu still has a lot of time to solve these problems slowly.
After walking out of the laboratory, Karunu began to announce new regulations and the most basic laws.
Considering the relatively weak intelligence of the kobolds, this law is not complicated, it can even be regarded as very simple, and it only stipulates a few situations.
However, among them, there is also a regulation that is particularly conspicuous.
Karunu stipulated that after all the kobolds died, their corpses would automatically belong to the entire tribe and should not be damaged, burned or even abandoned in any way.
For other kobolds in the tribe, this rule seems a bit strange.
But no one said anything.
Everyone was very convinced, respectfully doing the work in hand.
During this time, as time went on, the number of kobolds in the Horde increased again, now officially exceeding the thousand.
However, because no formal census has been conducted, Karunu himself does not know exactly how many kobolds there are here at the moment.
The number of kobolds is constantly increasing.
If it was the kobold tribe in the past, most of them are close to collapse at this moment.
The kobolds' traditional way of life is not enough for them to concentrate such a large population in an area.
But now, there is no problem.
This change is due to the invention of nets and bows and arrows, which allows kobolds to obtain more prey.
In the past, kobolds could only look for food and catch all kinds of bugs.
But now, they can use fishing nets to catch fish, and use spears in their hands to catch large prey.
The efficiency of obtaining food has been greatly improved.
On the other hand, the land reclaimed by Karunu's people has also begun to yield some results.
Before that, he let the kobolds cultivate in this area, using the kobolds' natural ability to open up wasteland, and planted some of the crop seeds he found everywhere.
But at this moment, there have been some gains.
Because of the low planting technology and lack of intensive cultivation, the harvest of these lands is very low, but it seems to have opened up a new world for the kobolds, making them look forward to the land under their feet.
After digging out the crops in the farmland, Karunu didn't start to move immediately, trying to continue to cultivate, but turned around and started to do another thing.
Because at this moment, Kumul, who had previously accepted Karunu's entrustment and went to the Kingdom of Chikar, had returned.
Calculate the time, it is indeed almost the same.
At this moment, nearly three months have passed since they left Karunu's territory.
And after three months, they came back again, but they did not come empty-handed.
In order to transport enough goods, they bought a carriage this time, and there were two more people beside them, who seemed to be their clansmen and friends.
In this regard, Karunu just glanced at it, then stepped forward with a smile and began to greet them.
The return of the two of Helu brought him a lot of good things.
In addition to all kinds of high-quality crop seeds that kobolds urgently need, there are also some basic tools and handicrafts from the human world.
"Seeds and farm tools are great, but like these useless things, I don't need to bring them anymore"
Karunu is clear about what they bring.
Seeds and agricultural tools, these things are considered urgently needed by the Kobold tribe.
As for the so-called handicrafts, they are dispensable.
For the kobolds at the current stage, food, clothing, housing and transportation are the most important things. As for the so-called handicrafts, they are not as useful as two steamed buns.
Among the kobold tribe, few people would appreciate these things.
Although these things may be precious in the human world.
Listening to Karunu's words, the two of Helu's faces were awkward, and they didn't know what to say at this time, so they could only nod their heads.
After staying in the kobold tribe for a while, after a few days, they left again.
Compared to the last time, this time they left, they took more furs and herbs, and prepared to take them to the south for sale.
Looking at it like this, it seems that the previous transaction brought them a lot of sweetness, so that they are a little addicted at the moment.
Standing where he was, watching the two of Helu leaving, Karunu shook his head, and then smiled.
In the days to come, everything went as planned.
Obtained the seeds from the human world, and under the command of Karunu, more farmland was reclaimed.
A large number of kobolds began to come out of the burrows and began to work hard in the farmland.
Despite the lack of labor, this is not a big problem for the kobolds.
In terms of farming, kobolds are actually more suitable than other creatures by nature.
They naturally like to dig, and they are better at farming. Even if they don't have the right tools, they can still do it decently.
Karunu has decided that under the current circumstances, try to reclaim a thousand acres of land in all directions.
In this case, the pressure on food will be greatly reduced in the coming year.
And by that time, the population of the kobold tribe will also increase and become more numerous.
wilderness.
On a vast grassland, there are figures criss-crossing in it.
From time to time, an arrow flew out quickly and nailed hard on the grass.
If you focus your gaze forward, you can find that these figures on the grass in front of you are not human beings, but a very unique life.
These creatures have a horse-like lower body, but a human-like upper body, which is extraordinarily unique.
These beings are nothing but centaurs, one of the most famous races on the wasteland.
The so-called centaur has an appearance similar to that of a human, but its lower body is like a horse.
Because they are born like a combination of humans and horses, they are considered the best cavalry in the world, and no human knight can compare with them in this respect.
And similarly, in terms of strength, they are also very powerful, and they can be regarded as one of the few powerful races in this wasteland.
At this moment, the four horseshoes under them were running wildly, as if they were chasing something.
High in the sky, the falcon in charge of patrolling was circling, flying for a long time, and finally left slowly.
Seeing the falcon leave, these centaurs were a little unwilling in the nearby area, but they still left quickly and headed for the next area.
In the same place, after they left, a long time passed before a piece of grass began to change.
A small figure appeared.
This is a very short figure, purely in terms of body size, it seems that it is not much different from an ordinary human girl, but its eyes are green, which looks very unique.
On her body, she was wearing a simple animal skin, and there was still blood on her body at the moment.
Seemingly feeling the breath of the centaurs leaving, at this moment, the girl gritted her teeth and continued heading south, preparing to leave this place quickly.
"I have to go"
The blood on his body was still dripping, and the blue-red blood slowly fell down and stained the ground.
Unknowingly, the girl's sanity began to become blurred, and she was almost unable to hold on at this moment.
The field of vision in front of him began to become hazy, and all the scenes seemed to start to go backwards.
In the haze, she vaguely saw the previous scenes.
Before that, the scene of those centaurs rushing into the tribe and killing them seemed to be still in front of her eyes, which was hard for her to forget.
However, even though her sanity had been blurred to this point, her body continued to move forward, running forward almost subconsciously.
Vaguely, there were bursts of voices coming from all around.
There seemed to be some figures approaching ahead.
Is it a centaur
This idea flashed subconsciously in the girl's mind.
However, something is not quite right.
Under her natural perception, she could feel that the figures in front seemed to be much shorter than the centaur, even shorter.
Not like a centaur, nor like other intelligent creatures.
what would that be
This thought flashed through her mind, and she opened her eyes wide.
Then, under her gaze, the short figures in front slowly moved forward, and appeared in front of her eyes at this moment.
Nothing but a kobold.
However, unlike normal kobolds, these kobolds in front of them seem to be taller and cleaner.
