In order to escape the attack on the lair by the boss of the Wu clan, the Fire Crow brothers and sisters were forced to escape from each other, and each embarked on a different journey.
The game is divided into two lines of narrative here. Players can basically only control the character they choose at the beginning, and the other one will be controlled by the system AI.
If you choose the two-player mode at the beginning, this stage will be skipped directly, and the skills added during this period will be automatically obtained based on the player's action evaluation during the Taoist temple and hunting periods.
After all, the purpose of players experiencing the two-player mode is to connect the two of them, and since the two of you are now separated, there is no need to follow the single-player mode to let the players fully experience the plot after they are separated.
And only when the Fire Crow brothers and sisters separated, their understanding of the current Hongmeng world began to become more and more in-depth.
In the past, although it could be considered traveling, it was basically limited to a small corner. After seeing this for so long, you can know just how remote a small corner of the country is when you meet a Witch Clan.
Compared with the era of giant beasts, the world of Hongmeng is completely different now. The former order has long since dispersed like smoke, and the Wu Clan has become the pyramid of this world.
Perhaps except for the unknown Hongjun, no living demon clan can know the origin of those mysterious witch clans.
The only thing that can be known is that the Witch Clan and the Demon Clan are incompatible with each other, and there is no room for compromise or negotiation between the two parties.
Although it is unknown why the original Witch Clan was born, the birth and growth trajectory of the new Witch Clan is very familiar to the Monster Clan.
This trajectory is just like the first sense of the Witch Clan. If they want to be born and become stronger, they have to hunt the monsters and sew them to themselves, so the Witch Clan looks like that.
And this is also the reason why some witch clans came to the Fire Crow brothers and sisters in the past. Apparently, the noise they created in the past few years attracted the attention of the surrounding witch clans.
Although the Fire Crow brothers and sisters are relatively weak in terms of physical strength, their superb Taoist skills have definitely entered the realm of being sutured.
Whether it's sewing them to one's own body, or using them to breed a new witch clan, it's obviously an adventure worth taking.
The Witch Clan is the top layer of this world, and the middle layer below them is mainly composed of two parts. One is the Monster Clan to which the Fire Crow brother and sister currently belong.
Monster clan is actually a very general term. All beasts that know how to use the spiritual power between heaven and earth and release rudimentary Taoist techniques can be called monster clan.
Because it is just a general name, the number of the demon clan is extremely large, but behind this hugeness is a loose sand, which can only be slaughtered by the Witch clan step by step.
In the middle level of the Hongmeng world today, in addition to the demon clan where the Fire Crow brothers and sisters live, there is another existence, the former world master - the giant beast.
In fact, in the so-called "Three Tribes Catastrophe", the main ones massacred by Hongjun were the three former tribes, namely Dragon, Phoenix and Qilin.
Although other types of giant beasts suffered some impacts, they were not massacred like the three major tribes. Therefore, in the first period of time after the "Three Clans Catastrophe", there was still a faint sign of recovery.
After all, the Dragon Clan was almost wiped out, and the Feng Clan and Qilin were forced to keep their promise and retreat to the small world created by Hongjun without caring about worldly affairs. There were no tigers in the mountains and monkeys would naturally dominate.
As a result, they bumped into the rapidly rising Witch Clan, and these giant beasts became the best hunting materials for the Witch Clan.
Of course, in the early stages of the war between the witch clan and the giant beasts, the witch clan had not yet grown up, so they were at a disadvantage when fighting against the giant beasts. Many of the original witch clans even died in the war.
As a result, the witch clans that once devoured each other began to unite under the pressure of the giant beasts. The twelve clans of the witch clan now led by the twelve ancestral witches are all products of that era.
However, the giant beasts were still fighting on their own. Even if they realized later and wanted to unite, it was already too late to stop the Witch Clan's rapid advance.
If the main forces of the three major clans were still there, the giant beasts would not have lost so miserably. Unfortunately, the three major clans fell in the "Three Clans Catastrophe", and the other giant beasts were also well harvested in the Battle of Buzhou Mountain.
It can be said that the power of the giant beasts is quite weak now, which is not comparable to that in its heyday. If given time, it may be able to recover, but the Witch Clan does not give them time to recover.
The giant beasts, who finally realized the importance of unity, finally formed an alliance on the eve of their imminent annihilation, and had an extremely tragic final battle with the twelve clans of the Witch Clan on the coast of the East China Sea.
The result of this battle is what players can see in the bird's-eye view in the trailer CG of "Hongmeng End". Compared with the "Three Tribes Era", the entire coastline has been shortened by more than a little, and it was all caused by that battle. Mark of.
The victory of this battle by the twelve ancestral witches marked the decline of the hegemony of the giant beasts, and the witch clan completely became the new master of the world.
Buzhou Mountain, the three mountains and five mountains controlled by the three major clans in the past, are now all controlled by the Wu clan, and the top of Buzhou Mountain is naturally the location of the Wu clan's royal city.
Of course, not all the giant beasts have been wiped out. There are still some giant beasts and even beast king-level beings who survive by hiding at the edge of the world.
But for the vast majority of giant beasts, it is inevitable that their numbers will decrease due to war damage and the continued hunting of them by the Witch Clan.
This also has an impact on the Witch Clan, that is, the older the Witch Clan will be, the more powerful it will be, because only these Witch Clan can use those giant beasts as materials for their own sewing and growth.
However, it is difficult for the new generations of the Witch Clan who were born later to find the giant beasts of the past. They can only make do with the Monster Clan, so the later the Witch Clan is born, the weaker their natural strength will be.
Therefore, the twelve ancestral witches and those great witches who existed during the war with the giants in the past still occupy the upper echelons of the witch clan, and the entire organizational model can be said to be extremely rigid.
But no matter how rigid the organization is, it all depends on who it is being compared with. This gang-like model of twelve clans, no matter how bad it is, is still better than the herd model of the once giant beasts.
And this kind of hunting by the Wu clan also brings another consequence, that is, under the influence of natural selection, the bodies of the beasts in the new era become smaller and smaller.
After all, the Witch Clan's favorite hunting targets are those huge beasts. They will first become the materials for the birth and growth of the Witch Clan.
In the era of giant beasts, they had huge sizes because they didn't know how to use the energy of heaven and earth. What's more, only brute force is enough, so what else should they do?
However, in the era of the Witch Clan, brute force cannot defeat the Witch Clan, so the beasts began to spontaneously shrink in size to try to allow the Witch Clan to target other people.
This group of small "beasts" possesses nothing but brute strength. They account for the main number of creatures in today's ancient continent and are also at the bottom of the entire world.
But as the number of giant beasts became less and less, no matter how small they were, they would be hunted. So the beasts began to develop intelligence and use the energy of heaven and earth to practice. This led to the emergence of the demon clan.
After all, I am more difficult to deal with than the other person with the same body shape. Although this will make me become a rarer material, on the other hand, the chance of escape is also greater.
