Chapter 877
At night, deep inside the forest, Li Yao leaned against a thick bloody coconut tree, considering the situation quietly .
After winning the fourth game, they had been granted the right to challenge the champion gladiators of the Skeleton Island . Over the next couple of days, their training facilities had been fully upgraded . They had more strengthening drugs, better high-energy food, and all available battle experience for them to learn .
During the high-intensity training, Li Yao finally saw an example of mental derangement and cell collapse with his own eyes .
Before, Li Yao had already known that the death rate of the training camp was very high, and he had barely paid attention to other gladiators as he had been too occupied in his own training .
But that day, a chaotic-blood demon, more than four meters tall and weighing ten tons, boasting the bloodline of 'Hammer Head Battle Elephant', suddenly collapsed right in front of his eyes after injecting twenty doses of strengthening drugs and devouring more than two tons of food . He trembled in the beginning before fluids that looked like foam leaked out of the wrinkles of his skin .
The mountain-like demon screamed miserably, wreathed in the foam, while his body features changed constantly .
In one short minute, the features of behemoths, rhinos, and other heavy beasts appeared on his body, only to be replaced by those of lions and leopards a moment later . Eventually, he was even growing colorful feathers and sharp claws and teeth .
For a moment, maybe it was just his imagine, but Li Yao even vaguely sensed that all the features of animals disappeared from the chaotic-blood demon, and he turned into a tall, strong, magnificent-looking man .
However, such a form did not last even 0 . 1 seconds before endless foam flowed out of his widely opened mouth and melted him completely .
A gentle breeze passed by, blowing the foam up as if it was made of flying butterflies . Illuminated by the torches, they shone in glamorous colors before they vanished into nothingness in the end .
The demon that looked as undefeatable as a mountain was vaporized just like that in only one minute .
Not too many demons were surprised by such a scene . The gladiators all whispered to each other that the demon had been embraced by God Chaos again .
Yes . During Li Yao's adventure on the Skeleton Island, the ideology of the Blade of Chaos had spread afar among the gladiators, many of whom were praying to Chaos in secret . As far as Li Yao knew, even the most resolute gladiators often could not help but carry a charm of the Blade of Chaos and scratch it before they joined a game, as if it was the hope of their survival .
After their first encounter, Ba Mingsong had visited Li Yao and Mo Tiesheng several times . The two talented, distinguished new gladiators seemed to be important targets of the Blade of Chaos .
Mo Tiesheng's tongue was rather tight, and he did not reveal his thoughts easily . Li Yao tried to have a chat with Ba Mingsong several times, but there was no telling whether the demon was too clever or truly knew nothing about the details . Except for repeating the benevolence of 'God Chaos', he failed to offer anything new .
But today, the collapse of the gladiator was a major blow for Li Yao's mind, which prompted him to consider the different methodologies of training of mankind and the demon race from a higher level .
According to the mental devil, the method of training to directly stimulate the cells was dangerous and extremely unstable .
On the Skeleton Island, in order to trigger the greatest potential of the gladiators in the shortest amount of time, strengthening drugs far exceeding normal dosages had been injected into them .
Although the strengthening drugs were all first class and contained a lot of balancing and repairing constituents, such a hasty approach to training still resulted in the mess of genes and the collapse of cells in many demons .
In the past, Li Yao had always been confused by something . In terms of physical build and combat ability, the individuals of the demon race were far better than those of mankind . Mo Tiesheng and the chaotic-blood demons that he saw in the Dry Leaf Village were all civilians, but after preliminary training, they were able to deal shocking damage, and ten muscular human beings might not have been a match for one of them .
Then, why did the demon race suffer such a crushing defeat in the great war against human beings ten thousand years ago when they boasted such fine individual soldiers?
Li Yao did not fully understand the question until he dug deeper into the training methods of the demon race .
Firstly, talent played a very important role in the training of the demon race . Demons who boasted the bloodlines of the Red Blood Bronze Bulls such as Mo Tiesheng were in fact not large in number . Most of the demons, such as rooster demons and rabbit demons, did not have much combat ability . They were even weaker than adult men in general .
Secondly, the training method of the demon race was to stimulate the cells, which proved to be very unstable . Their odds of mental derangement were much higher than those of mankind . Besides, they were almost always beyond rescue the moment they were mentally deranged .
A complete collapse with their body turning into foam was naturally the most extreme example . But on many occasions, a certain weird organ inside a demon's body would be awakened when they were mentally deranged, say, lungs that were suitable for the special air millions of years ago, or gills that replaced their lungs once and for all . If so, they would still die miserably on the spot, and other people would not know what happened to them at all .
Thirdly, the training system of the demon race was too monotonous and focused too much attention on awakening the strength within one's body . In other words, they were lacking creativity .
Li Yao had always believed that, although there might be regressions in the development of a civilization, the trend of every civilization was getting stronger and stronger .
