After a brief silence, Holo couldn't help but step forward, glanced at Richard and said, "I'll do it."
"Okay." Richard did not refuse.
Holo immediately started talking and looked at Bobo Bo Vicki and said: "Strange species, to put it simply, are some special demonized creatures that go against common sense. They are alternative, unique and powerful among demonized creatures. exist."
"Oh, is that so?" Bobo Bovich nodded, then asked, "So, are there many?"
"Of course there are many." Holo said, "You have to understand that according to generally accepted research conclusions, demonic creatures have a longer history than humans and wizards. Before humans appeared in this world, there were other creatures. .
Some of these creatures mastered extraordinary abilities and became demonic creatures. Only later did humans appear, and there were the first wizards in ancient times. Because of this, the number and types of strange species, which are special beings among demonized creatures, are astonishingly large. For this reason, in ancient times, the main enemies of wizards were these strange species.
Generally speaking, strange species are divided into four major categories and many subcategories according to the degree of threat they pose to humans and the length of their lifespan. "
"So complicated?" Popobo Vicki frowned.
Holo pretended not to hear and continued: "
Among them, the largest category of miraculous species is called short-lived miraculous species.
This kind of strange species poses a relatively low threat and can be dealt with by ordinary wizards. The lifespan is also relatively short, generally no longer than that of humans. Therefore, as long as the number of opponents does not reach a certain level, they can be regarded as ordinary demonized creatures.
Under this major category, there are mainly several subcategories such as deformed species, plague species, superborn species, etc.
Among them, the mutants are rare demonized creatures whose bodies have mutated due to various reasons, such as the two-headed demonized wolf, the three-eyed demonized cheetah, etc.
Plague species are demonized creatures that carry toxins themselves and have the ability to cause widespread infectious diseases, such as demonized rot rats, demonized evil dogs, etc.
Superborn species are demonized creatures with super reproductive capabilities. A single individual is not very strong, but as long as it enters a suitable environment, the population can increase hundreds or thousands of times in a short period of time, eventually forming a beast tide. An elementary beast tide is nothing, but if it forms an intermediate, advanced or even natural disaster level beast tide, it will be terrifying. Some demonized snakes and demonized rats have this potential, and of course the most terrifying ones are demonized ants.
I have read a record. In ancient times, there was a kind of demonized ant called skeleton ant. Due to various neglects by people, it successfully formed an unprecedented population and broke out a natural disaster-level ant wave.
After the ant wave broke out, in just three days, more than ten super cities were conquered in succession, leaving no grass growing along the way and a large area in danger. In the end, it was more than twenty powerful wizards who fought desperately to attack the core of the ant colony. After paying the price of half death and half serious injuries, they struggled to kill all the ant queens and curbed the trend of this disaster continuing to expand.
Even so, the aftermath has hollowed out an entire kingdom, causing the kingdom that was once so powerful to begin to decline... "
Holo kept talking, and Bobo Bovich slowly opened his mouth, finally realizing the power of strange species, and murmured: "It's a bit scary..."
Richard felt the same way. After listening to Holo's words, he couldn't help but think of the beast tide he encountered when he left the Blue Lion Kingdom and was with Gregory. The beast tide at that time was divided according to the level of super creatures, and it might not even be considered a primary beast tide.
"In addition to the first category, there is a second category of strange species." Holo added without pausing, "That is the immortal species.
Compared with short-lived strange species, this kind of strange species has great strength as a single individual, which is far beyond the ability of ordinary wizards to compete, unless one masters the spells specifically to restrain them.
Therefore, immortal strange species can easily bring disaster to an area, so they must be strictly monitored. Fortunately, due to environmental reasons, the current era has become increasingly unsuitable for the survival of immortal species, resulting in their scarcity or even extinction, so we don't have to worry every day.
Under this major category, there are mainly subcategories such as alien species, giant dragon species, etc.
Alien species are somewhat similar to the aberrant species mentioned before, but they are no longer pure mutations. Generally, their bodies have undergone essential changes, and their strength has greatly exceeded the limits of the species.
For example, the abnormal two-headed demon wolf is stronger than the simple demonized wild wolf, but it is a bit troublesome to fight against two demonized wild wolves. Against three or four demonized wild wolves, it will definitely lose.
Alien species are different. For example, there is a giant snake alien species with nine heads called Lena. It can easily kill thousands of its companions without being injured. Lerna once appeared on the main continent, in a place called the Great Swamp of Nice, causing the death of dozens of wizards. It was not until the fourth-level wizards came to take action that he was eliminated - in short, he was very powerful.
As for the giant dragon species, as the name suggests, it is a variety of giant dragons - red dragons, blue dragons, black dragons, white dragons, etc. included. Some of these categories are rarer, more powerful, and more dangerous than alien species like Lena.
Fortunately, according to the information collected by the organization, more than 99% of the giant dragons are now extinct because they cannot adapt to the environment. The few remaining ones live in remote corners, and it is only a matter of time before they are completely extinct, so don’t worry... "
After hearing this, Bobo Bovich continued to sigh with his mouth open.
Richard blinked his eyes, thoughtfully.
Regarding the appearance of the alien species Lena on the main continent, he had actually heard about it before coming to the main continent.
It was on the way that many wizard organizations on the east coast united to take revenge on Deep Blue Castle, that he met Sherlock.
At that time, he had already had the idea of coming to the main continent. After finding the final treasure of the Black Spirit King, he planned to stay away from the chaotic east coast, so he tried to learn some basic information about the main continent from Sherlock.
Sherlock talked about the dangers of the main continent, and used the Lena Hydra as an example, and also mentioned some other powerful demonic creatures-that is, strange species.
It is worth noting that according to Sherlock's words, the number of strange species was indeed declining, as if some people were deliberately cleaning them up. But now Holo said it was due to environmental reasons.
Is it really due to the environment? Comparing the environment between the current era and ancient times, have there been any big changes? Even if there are changes, humans can adapt without obvious impact, but the more powerful immortal alien species cannot. This is not very logical, right
In addition, he had personally experienced the wizards of the Truth Society hunting dragons. That was the reason for Gregory's death, and it was also his first contact with the Society of Truth or the Order of God.
Putting all things together, the conclusions drawn are somewhat interesting.
Maybe the truth will always be cleaning up various strange species secretly, but what is announced to the outside world is that environmental reasons lead to the extinction of strange species.
If this is really the case, what is the other party's purpose of clearing out strange species? For world peace? For a safe and better world? This is obviously impossible. If this were true, the other party would not cause trouble on the east coast, let alone destroy the entire White Stone Tower.
From a certain perspective, the other party, as a large and independent organization, has always seemed to be working hard to maintain the order of the entire world, constantly reducing dangerous factors, and is a just and noble existence.
But this is just an appearance. The other party actually has a more secret and unknown purpose.
He didn't know what this purpose was, but he had a hunch - a hunch he had a long time ago, that is, this purpose was related to the truth of the current world.
The Truth Society will be the key to unlocking the truth of the current world.
Thinking of this, Richard raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Holo.
