The rotting breeze carried a faint scent of blood.
The dragons had extrely sharp senses, capable of detecting the scent of carnage from afar. At so point, a large number of blood-red enemy marks appeared at the edge of the strategic map.
"It’s the Dark Elves!"
Duncan’s expression changed slightly as he saw ranks of Dark Elf hunters advancing through the dense jungle, far outnumbering the nearby Sub-dragon village, forming an organized army.
Under the shadow of the Heister Tree, a Sub-dragon dressed like a Priest seed to be listening to sothing.
Soon, the ceremony held by the village began to accelerate.
Nearly a hundred female Sub-dragons placed their eggs at the base of the tree, and then, following the Priest’s guidance, began drinking the Divine Tree’s sap one after another.
An incredible scene unfolded!
These female Sub-dragons began to transform their life forms. Their slightly swollen breasts gradually disappeared, replaced by firm and powerful chest muscles. Their limbs beca stronger, their slightly smaller tails morphed into male features, and their head gills, horns, and fins changed to better suit combat and harsh environnts.
——Female Sub-dragon Hunters (Life Modification) (Gender Change) (mory Inheritance) [Upgraded from Two-star Whiteboard to Two-star Silver Grey]!
Duncan’s eyes widened in shock.
Right before him, nearly a hundred female Sub-dragons, after drinking the sap of the Divine Tree, all transford into male Sub-dragon Warriors.
Their marks also changed; so turned into two-star silver grey, and others upgraded to three-star silver grey.
Within the Dinsion Space, Duncan’s thoughts slightly stirred.
——"Life Modification (Extraordinary Divine Power): The Heister Divine Tree is a mysterious collective consciousness of a tree race. The sap it secretes can change life forms, unnaturally evolving primitive lizard species into Sub-dragons. Gender change is naturally one of its abilities. When faced with danger, it can use the sap to change the gender of the subordinate symbiotic race - Sub-dragons, turning the feeble female Sub-dragons into powerful male Sub-dragon Warriors."
By now, the whole village had only a dozen or so female units left, responsible for tending to the lizard eggs soaking in the sap.
The other Sub-dragons had all beco male Warriors, and skillfully picked up their weapons and war bows.
——"mory Inheritance (Extraordinary Divine Power): The Heister Divine Tree shares an imnsely vast collective mory, though much of it has been lost to the river of ti, the cycle of mory still exists. As the symbionts, the Sub-dragons can, through special ceremonies, inherit the souls and mories uploaded to the Heister Divine Tree by their ancestors.
These mories do not affect the hatching of their own personalities, but allow them to gain so of their ancestors’ combat and survival experiences.
If the Divine Tree encounters danger, the Sub-dragons can, through rituals, inherit more mories, enhancing their strength."
Hiss.
This seems even harsher than the dragons’ mory inheritance.
The gender-transford female Sub-dragons had entered full battleground readiness. In Duncan’s astonished gaze, they behaved like seasoned Warriors trained for over a decade, wielding poisoned blades as they vanished into swamp rivers, or strapping jungle war bows, coating arrows with poison, agilely climbing to the tops of nearby dense trees.
Their cold eyes fixed on the distance, seeming to await the approach of the enemy.
The scales on their skin served as natural camouflage, offering formidable disguise capabilities; without careful observation, they were undetectable.
Buzz!
Duncan seed to faintly hear chanting, coming from the Sub-dragon Priest beneath the Heister Divine Tree, chanting sothing as if awakening so powerful Psychic Energy.
A row of prompts flashed across the projection page.
"Psychic fluctuation detected!"
An invisible Net of the Mind was constructed from thin air, akin to a communication network, stirring the nearby Wind of Magic, perceivable only to the keen awareness of dragons.
One by one, the marks were illuminated.
Under Duncan’s astonished gaze, all the Sub-dragons in the village were connected by a powerful psychic energy chain. Subsequently, their power further increased, accompanied by an additional mark.
——"Hive Will (Spiritual Law): The presence of the Heister Divine Tree has beco an indispensable part of Sub-dragon society.
They rely on the tree’s sap to hatch offspring, undergo tamorphosis, change genes, adapt to environnts, inherit mories. As the lower structure of this giant symbiotic entity, Sub-dragons believe their souls will return to the tree after death, and be reincarnated through it in the next life.
Once the Heister Divine Tree faces danger, the Sub-dragons will unite like never before, conforming to a huge will; the tree can influence their thoughts and actions."
Right under Duncan’s watchful eyes, a mighty army was organized out of thin air.
——War Lizard Legion (Genetic Enhancent) (Hive Will) (mory Inheritance) [Three-star Gold]!
Completely different from humans.
This seed like a different civilization extre from the Middle Ages, pursuing a completely different developnt path.
Duncan was no longer able to observe details at this mont.
Because even a God’s perspective couldn’t keep up, he could only see through the strategic map as Sub-dragons split into five to six-person guerrilla squads, camouflaging themselves along the dense jungle, hiding among rivers, swamps, and underbrush, as if they were battle-hardened jungle Warriors, setting up layers of deadly defenses on the village outskirts.
