After learning this, the Swamp Lord breathed a sigh of relief. For now, the first step has been taken safely.
He transformed into a beast. With 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 who 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."
Before, they were as if they were playing in an arena match. Due to the rules of the arena, the stronger ones couldn't use their various abilities.
Although these weak opponents cannot break their defenses, they can follow the rules of the arena and touch them as points. The more points you get, the more you win.
If they don't abide by the rules, they will be stopped 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 arena 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 a comment after experimenting with the fighting method of transforming into a beast.
Although this fighting method does not allow them to exert their full strength, it 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, you should 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 they die.
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.
If you don't comply, your life will not be affected in any way, but the negative social effects that will follow will give you a mental blow.
They may even squat in an orange for violating public order and good customs.
Therefore, since childhood, everyone has been accustomed to wearing clothes on the street. Except for some task masters, this has been completely integrated into the rules of life.
The same applies here. If you follow the rules of a beast and fight 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 herbivorous animals that have evolved to survive by eating soil, other beasts have become extremely violent and aggressive.
For food, they can perform various horrific hunting actions.
For example, they discovered that some of the beasts here actually had the ability to imitate their appearance and aura, and then wanted to use this to sneak up on them.
This one is relatively easy to find.
In addition, there are also those that are disguised as corpse meat and then lure other beasts to eat it. Half of its body is specially used for beasts to eat. As you eat, you will be attacked nearby.
These hunting methods are very 'clever'. If it is not a wild beast, then as long as you are vigilant and observe, you can usually avoid it.
The problem is that they found that as they and others continued to use the rules of the beast, some characteristics of the beast gradually and inevitably began to appear.
The Swamp Lord felt that he was starting to feel hungry.
This is a feeling I haven't experienced in thousands of years.
After his strength reaches a certain level, he can directly use energy to maintain his 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.
Therefore, 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 beasts to pass through this cave, they gradually begin to be bound by the rules of beasts.
They need to perform various behaviors to satisfy the beast's regular desires. Hungry 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 rules is the fear of death.
As their exploration gradually approached the beast's true form, they suddenly no longer dared to get any closer.
The beast is extremely powerful, and the closer we are now, the more we can feel this.
Japanese-level individuals will also restrain their influence, fearing that if they don't pay attention, their influence will promote souls related to them.
This is not the case with the evil beast. Although it is in a state of slumber, its aura completely envelopes the land.
They clearly knew how powerful this beast was, and they also knew that this beast could easily crush them to death.
But in this situation, they want to get close to this beast and make a fuss about it.
This behavior is commonly known as death.
The essence of the beast's rules is actually the continuation of survival.
This is true for eating, it is true for occupying territory, and it is even more true for reproduction.
Now they were asked to commit suicide, and the fear of death caused by the rules instantly rose.
They had obviously made preparations before, but when they got here, they couldn't go any further.
The inner fear and desire for life continue to rise.
There are even all kinds of strange thoughts in the Swamp Lord's 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 origin of the beasts was beginning to expand at an extremely fast speed.
It even quickly reversed its previous disadvantage and began to suppress Green Forest's original strength.
