A few days later.
On a lively grassland, Benjamin looked at the creature in his hand, with a rare hint of surprise on his face.
This is a creature nearly five meters tall, with slender legs and gray-brown feathers covering its body. It has a long neck and a short crest on its head.
At first glance, it looks like an ostrich magnified several times.
The reason why Benjamin was surprised was because he knew this kind of creature.
When he first entered Sacred Spirit Plane Cluster, he had seen them in the plane controlled by King of Spreading Fear.
There, the creature was kept as livestock with little to note.
Benjamin has analyzed before that this kind of creature is actually a highly intelligent creature.
But because they were conquered by Spirit Race and parasitized by their tentacles, their civilization was shattered, and even their original extraordinary power disappeared, and they could only become livestock and food for Spirit Race.
But now, Benjamin discovered their group in Central World.
There are approximately hundreds of these creatures gathered in this area, forming a large tribe.
They can build simple houses, use stone and wood to make tools, and have a simple division of labor. Like the one caught by Benjamin, it is a "hunter" who goes out to look for food.
"How should I put it... the current level of civilization of these ostriches is quite subtle." Benjamin looked at the ostriches that were still trying to attack him and touched his chin.
Central World's space pressure is too great, and it is impossible to release mental power for exploration.
The reason why he was able to discover this group was purely because the other party regarded him as prey.
In other words, the current ostrich population is still in the primitive hunting stage.
If compared with the same race raised in captivity by Spirit Race, their level of civilization is already quite high, but if compared with their original level of civilization, their current level of civilization is too low.
Looking at the stone tool with obvious forging marks on this ostrich, Benjamin shook his head.
The strongest individuals here are only equivalent to Level 3 creatures, and most of them have not even reached the level of first-level creatures.
"Sure enough, it seems that most of the animal groups here are foreign, and they seem to have Forgetting the past of their own group for some reason." Based on his previous observations along the way, he already had a rough guess in his mind.
These races in Central World are not the life originally bred in this world at all.
They most likely came from the outside world, but entered Central World under certain special circumstances, and fortunately did not die.
But this "luck" seems to have a certain irony. Because not only have they lost their original power, but even their origins have been Forgetting.
After a long period of time, these alien races adapted to the Central World environment, multiplied and multiplied here, and eventually developed their own civilization.
But they don't know where they come from, nor what they once had.
"If that's the case, that would be interesting."
Benjamin looked at the creature in his hand, and then stopped worrying.
Guesses are just guesses after all.
A wizard can accept the unknown, but will not accept unverified conclusions.
Benjamin decided to continue the previous experiment.
He ran True-Delusion Breaking Pupil and focused on the ostrich.
In the eyes of ordinary wizards, this is just a body of flesh and blood, but under Benjamin's current True-Delusion Breaking Pupil, its body has completely lost its original form.
The flesh, blood, and soul of this ostrich are all composed of a large number of runes.
However, these runes do not form a too strict system. They are connected to each other, but they appear extremely chaotic.
Benjamin observed for a while and quickly found one of the key runes.
He raised his finger and tapped it lightly.
The rune suddenly underwent extremely subtle changes.
This change may seem insignificant, but it is like cutting a key thread in a delicate network.
The next moment, changes spread rapidly.
One rune is affected, and then it affects other surrounding runes, and those runes affect more structures.
The whole process only lasted a few seconds.
The creature in the palm suddenly stopped struggling, its body trembled slightly, and then began to collapse from the inside.
Benjamin didn't show any signs of surprise, and just continued to observe the body that had lost its life breath.
"It's true." He whispered.
During this period of time, he conducted a lot of research, and even spent extra effort to take out some biological samples from Internal Grotto-Heaven for observation. The conclusion he came to was that, from his current perspective, unless he modified himself, the internal rune structure of naturally growing creatures would be relatively chaotic.
This is understandable, after all, the evolution of organisms has never been about finding the optimal solution, but "whatever can be used". All naturally evolved organisms have some shit mountain code.
The reason why wizards appear to run runes rigorously is because any wizard with some ability will transform himself.
In other words, whether it is the multi-armed creature or this ostrich, their rune performance is actually normal.
But...
Benjamin put down the body in his hands thoughtfully and turned to look at a plant next to him.
"If that's the case, then this would be interesting..."
The rune structure of this plant is completely different from the creature just now.
In Benjamin's eyes, it is not a mess of chaotic runes, but an extremely Stability whole, with each part having an extremely close relationship.
Benjamin tried to find the weak spot, but couldn't find it for a long time.
He continuously observed a dozen nearby plants and got almost the same results.
The runic structures of these plants are very complete. It can even be said that they are a bit too complete.
"The plants I saw along the way are all like this. In other words, in the ecological circle of this world, the origins of plants and animals are different?" Benjamin pondered.
This is of course not normal.
But the question is... why is this happening?
If these animals enter the life of Central World from the outside world, then what are the plants here?
Central World Life born in the local area?
Then why is the life born from Central World so special?
Benjamin There is no answer yet.
He stood there and thought for a moment, and suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of oppression.
Benjamin raised his head and found that the sky above his head had changed at some point.
A huge crack stretched across the sky, and outside the crack, there was a strange brilliance flashing.
Benjamin immediately understood. "Plane Barrier's gap size has reached a sufficient level."
The three Plane Wizard began to enter Central World.
Thinking of this, Benjamin turned on the communicator directly.
"Senior, I'm ready to go back."
Soon, Viola's voice came. "Just in time, Augusta and I are also preparing to come back."
"Then we will meet at the previous landing point."
After the communication ended, Benjamin turned into a stream of light and returned quickly.
Not long after, he returned to the location where Central World first descended.
