Chapter 485: Slaa Death Toad (Changed)
Slaa Death Toad!
After seeing clearly the monster that looked like a toad, Brian looked surprised.
It is really unexpected that in the Engraved Valley of the Underdark Region, I still saw the echo of this thing. The most important thing is that the other party still took the initiative to find me.
This is a bit intriguing.
Brian's eyes reflected the figure of this Slaad Death Toad. Its body was bloated and huge, as if it carried the secrets of countless years.
At first glance, those piercing eyes seemed to contain an extraordinary intelligence and a hint of subtle cunning, which quickly escalated Brian's surprise.
Brian still knows something about the origin of the slaadi.
In the endless chaotic abyss of the Chaotic Sea, jungles, meadows, ruins and isolated islands transform into a wild dance of four elements: the surging water element, the blazing fire element, and the solid and thick earth element. and the ever-changing air element.
The first inhabitants of this harsh world were a group of strange-looking life forms - slaadi.
As for how this ethnic group was born, we have to start with the mechanical realm of clockwork nirvana.
In the depths of the distant mechanical realm, the supreme modron master - Singularity, used his unfathomable wisdom and power in the torrent of creation long ago to carefully forge a piece of Geometrically complex boulders that have never been seen before.
This huge stone is not an extraordinary stone, but is infused with the power of the supreme law by a singularity. It is like a beacon of order, containing the power of stability and balance.
Subsequently, with incomparable determination and belief, the master threw the boulder carrying the vast law into the boundless and surging sea of chaos, letting it fall under the influence of the power of chaos. Drifting in the whirlpool.
Singularity firmly believes that this stone will tame the chaotic nature of the Sea of Chaos with its inherent power of order, and can build an invisible barrier to prevent the power of chaos from invading other planes and maintain the multiverse. Peace and stability.
As time goes by, this geometric complex boulder gradually absorbs energy in the sea of chaos. Its existence shines like a star, and its power grows day by day. It actually makes the lawful races that were originally unable to survive in the chaotic environment - the modrons and Gith. The Zelay people were able to build a strong colony around them, carve out a land of order, and coexist with chaos.
However, everything has two sides. Although the power of chaos is suppressed by the boulder, it also quietly gives birth to an unforeseen powerful force.
The chaotic energy absorbed and transformed by the boulders gave birth to a terrifying existence in the dark - slaadi. They are like the spokespersons of chaos, breaking out of the boulders and bringing peace to the original world. The sea of chaos has brought new turmoil and challenges.
Therefore, when the sages looked back on this period of history, they were all filled with emotion. They used the mysterious and solemn title of "large-scale creation of the singularity" to refer to this land that once brought order and is now The "pebble stone" of chaos was also born to warn future generations that even the greatest creations may bring unknown variables and challenges.
The slaad's reproductive cycle, its unique and terrifying mechanism, is an unusual spectacle in the biological world.
This reproduction process not only challenges the laws of nature, but also reveals the mysterious abyss of transformation and evolution of life forms.
The slaad clan has weaved a web of life intertwined with survival competition, color-coded inheritance, and memory inheritance in their world. The reproduction of the slaad population does not follow the conventional egg-laying and hatching model, but chooses to implement a forced parasitic egg-laying method in humanoid organisms, or to transform by spreading a mutant disease called Chaos Phage. The disease acts like a strange spell that controls the host's life, turning healthy cells into a breeding ground for slaadi larvae.
In this unique ecosystem, slaads of different colors represent their own unique life cycles and reproduction paths.
Red Slaadi Toads are like the starter of this reincarnation chain. They produce Blue Slaadi Toads and Green Slaadi Toads. These two offspring influence each other during the growth process and are the source of each other - —Blue Slaadi can also produce Red Slaadi and Green Slaadi, forming a closed reproductive cycle.
As for the green slaad, it bears the important responsibility of the evolution of the slaad race.
After a long period of time and harsh natural selection, with their tenacious vitality and evolutionary potential, they have successfully completed the transformation from green to gray, and then to the death toad stage, which symbolizes death and rebirth.
In this gradual process, each stage is imprinted with the traces of the green slaad's growth, and what is amazing is that no matter how the shape changes, the slaad will completely retain and accumulate its characteristics from generation to generation. memory.
Therefore, the reproductive cycle of the slaad is not only a biological miracle, but also a fable for a profound understanding of wisdom, memory and the power of life. It reveals a story about the alternation of life and death, species reproduction and memory. A unique story that lasts.
And now what appeared in front of Brian was the most brutal and terrifying Slaad Death Toad.
Slaad Death Toads, the existence of this evil race seems to be the curse of the abyss. They are immersed in harm and destruction, and draw violent pleasure from the pain and lamentation of others, just like bloodthirsty demons intoxicated by the feast of sin.
On their cold and ruthless bodies, there is a unique aura originating from the negative energy plane. It is a smell that mixes decay, death and endless chaos. It makes people change their colors and shudder when they smell it. , can be called the evil symbol of putrid chaos.
These terrifying creatures from the bottom of the abyss use their powerful dark power to control various mutant subordinates such as Silla Red and Blue Toad under their command, forming an unstoppable evil army.
They launched ruthless invasions of other planes, attempting to nourish and strengthen their own racial power by devouring and plundering the essence of other worlds. In this war of aggression across the multiverse, neither the bustling elven forests nor the desolate orc plains could escape its claws.
Among the ruins and devastation left after each invasion, those humanoid creatures that unfortunately encountered disasters but survived by chance became a new seedbed for the Slaad Deathtoads to carry out their evil experiments.
They were forcibly transformed, their bodies and souls desecrated, and eventually became new slaadi, joining the ranks of this evil force and continuing to sow the seeds of fear and despair throughout the universe.
Such a terrifying chaotic creature turned out to be the familiar of the thin drow mage in dark robes, and their goal seemed very clear.
Brian relaxed himself as much as possible and prepared to ask the other party why he came.
After all, this is the Engraved Valley, and what appears in front of you is just a phantom emerging from the echo, which cannot threaten you.
