167 The Civilization Of The Race (Part 2)
Hearing Ryan’s explanation, Ning Shi finally understood.
It seemed that both the insect world and the magical beast continent followed the law of the jungle, where the strong preyed on the weak.
The magical beast continent might have been chaotic in the beginning, with everyone fighting for themselves and killing their prey to obtain advanced magic cores. However, as time passed, the intelligent advanced magical beasts learned to compromise and cooperate.
The advantage of fighting as a team was huge. Everyone was an advanced magical beast, so there was no essential difference in their combat power. Even if it was Leader Woy, who was a top-tier advanced magical beast, he would die if he was surrounded by dozens of advanced magical beasts.
Since advanced magical beasts could kill each other and devour each other’s advanced magic core, a certain level of trust was required to form a team.
At this time, bloodlines were a natural bond. At first, it was a group of magical beasts of the same race, but as the competition became more and more intense, the numbers of a single race would not be enough to gain an advantage in the battle.
As a result, the advanced magical beasts began to define their close bloodline relatives by their abilities or body size, such as the lightning bloodline and the ape bloodline. This expanded the range of magical beasts that the clan could recruit.
The power of the race had also developed.
When everyone was together, they could hunt together and also defend against the hunting of other tribes.
However, once a group was formed, there would be a tribal society, where there would be exploitation and oppression.
An advanced magical beast like Ryan must have contributed to the war, but when it came to the distribution of the spoils of war, he probably would not even get one or two advanced magic cores.
Most of the loot had been taken by the leader and the elite advanced magical beast.
Ryan might have some complaints about this, but he didn’t dare to leave the race. If he left the race, he would lose the protection of the group.
A wandering magical beast would only end up being hunted by other clans.
This was also why when they first met, Ryan said that Ning Shi was a lucky guy.
Ning Shi had a good impression of Ryan. He was the first advanced magical beast he saw when he came to the magical beast continent. He had to say that this was a wonderful fate.
If possible, Ning Shi didn’t mind helping Ryan.
“Ryan,” he continued, “Take me to the place where ordinary gladiators fight!”
What was currently going on was the elite gladiator fight. The ordinary gladiator fight was held in the southeast corner of the race’s territory.
Ning Shi followed Ryan to the arena of the ordinary gladiator fight. The spectating magical beasts here were smaller in size than the elite gladiator fight.
Although the size was not an absolute factor in a magical beast’s combat power, most of the time, one could judge a magical beast’s combat power by looking at its size.
Ryan walked in front of a red lightning fox and said a lot of words, looking at Ning Shi from time to time.
After a few minutes, it returned to Ning Shi and said, “Ning, your registration for the competition has been settled, and now it’s Reika’s defending match.
“Reika has already won 7 matches in a row. If he keeps winning, you will be his 18th opponent.”
Ning Shi’s gaze landed on the arena. A 30-meter lightning-horn rhinoceros was charging toward its opponent at an extremely fast speed!
The earth began to shake. Its figure was extremely fast, leaving an afterimage in the air.
This was the lightning-horn rhinoceros’ skill, brutal charge!
Bang!
The opponent was a Four-winged Thunder Horse. It was extremely fast, but it couldn’t avoid the collision. It was directly sent flying into the sky. Its bones and flesh caved in, and it fell heavily to the ground, losing its ability to fight.
The judge was a Thunder Spirit Flower, a vine-type magical beast. It announced loudly.
“Reika wins! 8 consecutive wins!
“Kugee, go for the next battle.”
“This is the difficulty of winning in a row, ” Ryan explained. “To be promoted to an elite advanced magical beast, you must win 20 battles in a row, without any rest time in between.
Although most advanced magical beasts have extremely strong recovery abilities, continuously experiencing such high-intensity battles in a short period of time against strong opponents is a huge test of strength.
“When I was defending the arena, I won all the way to the 17th battle. My skills and stamina were greatly exhausted and I was defeated by an advanced magical beast that was not as strong as me. ”
Ning Shi walked around this nameless group of lightning-type magical beasts and gradually learned the meaning of gladiator fights.
Although advanced magical beasts were intelligent, they were still full of beastly nature. They had bad tempers, were easily angered, and were full of energy.
If the excess energy and emotions were not vented, the race would inevitably end up killing each other.
The gladiator competition, on one hand, could increase the overall combat ability of the magical beasts, and on the other hand, it could consume their excess energy to maintain the peace and stability of the magical beasts.
More importantly, through the gladiator fights, the race settled on the distribution of resources.
The powerful advanced magical beasts would become elites, and the strongest among the elites would become the leader. In terms of the distribution of the spoils of war, the elite magical beasts would receive ten times more resources than the ordinary magical beasts, and the leader would receive even more.
This distribution system was relatively fair at the very least. All advanced magical beasts could participate in the gladiator fight, and as long as you were strong enough, you would get more.
This was also why it was so difficult to become an elite advanced magical beast, as it had to win 20 consecutive battles without rest.
There were only so many resources. If there were too many elite advanced magical beasts, there would not be enough resources to split, and the ordinary magical beasts would get even fewer resources. Therefore, it was necessary to increase the difficulty of becoming elite advanced magical beasts and limit the number of elite advanced magical beasts.
Even though it was very difficult, there were still countless advanced magical beasts that shed their blood and sweat in gladiator fights every day just to become elites or leaders and obtain more resources.
