Chapter 61 The Eagle Catches the Chicken

Eagle, no more?

After hearing the goddess's words, not only Mo Ling was confused, but the transparent people around him were also full of doubts.

"God, what is an eagle?" the transparent tribesman on the side asked tremblingly.

The goddess was very patient and explained: "The eagle catches the chicks. If the chicks are still there, but the eagle is gone, you have already lost."

Another game?

Hearing this, Mo Ling already had an idea in his mind.

"Did these transparent tribesmen play a game of eagle-catching chicken with Origin Cell?"

He didn't know what the specific content of the game was, so he had no choice but to continue listening.

"What is a chick?" Seeing that the goddess answered everything, the transparent people began to become bold.

"It's the eagle catching the chick," the goddess said without any hesitation.

"..."

Origin Cell still answered the question as usual.

Even the Transparent tribe members present were stunned. The goddess's answer seemed to confuse them, and they didn't know how to ask further.

After a moment of silence, the Transparent tribe organized their words again and continued to ask the goddess: "God, can you explain it carefully? We really don't know what it means for an eagle to catch a chick."

The goddess slowly walked up to the man who asked the question and looked down at him for a long time. It was not until the man shivered that she began to continue her story.

"The eagle is your ancestor, and the chicken is the immortal thing in your mouth..."

She began to explain the rules of the game in detail, just like the NPC in the novice tutorial in the game.

The smooth and mechanical beautiful sound clearly explained the origin of "Eagle Catching Chicken", and even went forward to tell the story of the ancestors of the Transparent People.

Only then did Mo Ling understand that the eagle catching the chicken was a game between the ancestors of the Transparent Tribe and the goddess.

As the goddess communicated with the Transparent people on the side, a twisted history was slowly outlined in Mo Ling's mind.

……

In the beginning, there were no immortal things or people of flesh and blood in the underground world.

At that time, the Transparent people were the overlords who ruled this underground world.

Like the anti-cell world, this is a world made up of Theseus cell life.

All living things are Theseus cell life, and the Transparent Tribe has developed into the cold weapon age, occupying a large area of ​​underground space through agriculture and breeding.

They used stones to make various utensils and created a splendid civilization.

In the underground world, the only enemies are various powerful beasts.

The stone weapons of the Transparent Clan cannot cause much harm to these alien beasts, and they can only watch helplessly as these alien beasts wreak havoc.

Some strange beasts are even very intelligent and know how to conserve their energy and wait until the crops of the Transparent Tribe are mature before they come out to eat them.

The alien beasts will also make targeted sneak attacks on farms and lone transparent tribesmen, making the village very difficult to defend against.

The various strange abilities of these strange beasts also make the Transparent tribe very troublesome. Hunting down a strange beast often requires a huge amount of manpower and material resources.

After finally killing a strange beast, a new and different beast will attack the village after a while.

The rich resources of the underground world also provide a constant supply of strange beasts, and there are even strange beasts that have never been seen before.

At this moment, a hero appeared in the Transparent Tribe - the Prophet.

The prophet was just an ordinary transparent tribesman at first, but a trip to the underground world changed his life.

It was a trip to explore an unknown underground space. As a member of the exploration team, the Prophet reached a hidden area that the Transparent Tribe had never been to.   A dark corner that is completely dark.

The rugged columnar Gobi desert.

A mushroom forest filled with all kinds of strange creatures.

And the endless empty wall known as the edge of the underground.

Along the way, the prophet inspected the geology, flora and fauna of various places, collected various specimens, and recorded all this information.

He systematically divided living things into categories.

After a long time, the prophet followed the team to travel to various areas of the underground world before returning to the Transparent Tribe.

In the process of traveling underground, the prophet discovered that there are similar but different creatures in each region, and the abilities of these creatures are also similar but slightly different.

Or maybe the environment is similar, but the creatures are completely different, showing two different postures and using very different abilities.

These discoveries made the prophet even more obsessed with the study of biological characteristics.

So not long after, the prophet summarized a set of systematic rules about living things, and called this set of rules——

Origin of Species.

The characteristics of the Transparent Tribe allowed them to only use stone tools to record text, but as time passed and word of mouth spread, this set of rules caused an uproar within the entire Transparent Tribe.

Before that, the Transparent People's understanding of living things was based on religion, and all kinds of gods were invented. It was a very traditional polytheism.

Ignorant people still use "creationism" to explain the origin of living things, and constantly create new gods to make up for the shortcomings.

These religious "patches" have also made the entire alien beast classification system complex and bloated.

As soon as the Origin of Species appeared, it began to impact the divine authority, causing a huge sensation within the entire Transparent Tribe.

Natural selection, survival of the fittest.

In the completely lightless Darkhorn, the eyes continue to degenerate, and other creatures with keen senses can slowly survive. Their descendants gradually begin to inherit this characteristic, so the Darkhorn is full of strange beasts with abnormal senses.

In the endless empty wall, the creatures that cannot climb are slowly eliminated, leaving only various rock creatures, and their climbing abilities are still increasing.

The ability to use rocks also appeared through mutation and was inherited.

These peculiar views on the origin of species began to slowly change the understanding of the Transparent people, replacing "creationism" and "species immutability theory".

This theory gradually took hold.

The prophet's status is also getting higher and higher, because his theory of the origin of species makes it easier for the transparent people to deal with strange beasts.

Systematically classify the alien beasts, and then attack the weak points. When facing the alien beasts, you no longer have to risk human lives.

The Transparent people also used this to analyze the recipes and resistance of the alien beasts that attacked villages in various places, and created restraint traps to trap and kill the alien beasts.

Knowledge is power, the territory of the Transparent Tribe has expanded again, and civilization has achieved unprecedented prosperity.

The prophet was gradually promoted to the highest throne.

However, just when all the Transparent people thought that the prophet would lead the Transparent people to explore the entire underground world and completely rule it, an accident happened.

During a journey into an unknown underground space, the transparent tribesman army led by the prophet encountered the Origin Cell.

The accelerated evolution zone around the origin cell had a huge impact on the prophet's mind.

The overly intuitive process of species evolution distorted the prophet's ideas.

Evolution, is this what it is?

"I came to understand everything."
