There is another very vexing problem.

At that time, the Turan people had not yet found a good way to store datura fruits for a long time.

You must know that this kind of fruit that has been genetically modulated, contains trace amounts of spiritual magnets, and absorbs too much spiritual energy from the crystal veins, is extremely unstable in nature, and is simply a time bomb.

At that time, the Turan people had not yet invented various witch doctor secret medicines.

Stacking a large number of Datura fruits together without any treatment will only cause the spiritual energy stored in the fruits to produce a reaction similar to "resonance" or "resonance".

After the psychic energy surge exceeded the critical value, thousands of fruits, the warehouse, and all the buildings and residents around the warehouse were blasted into the sky.

After such accidents occurred many times, the ancient Turan people, who were busy winning the monster war, could only temporarily give up the idea of ​​large-scale storage of Datura fruits.

Faced with pits full of Datura fruits, the best way to deal with them is to eat them into your stomach, and then vent them out in the form of sweat, blood and killing desire.

Otherwise, it would be better to let them rot in the wild and re-enter the ecological cycle.

All the above factors made the Turan civilization at that time completely unprepared to face an uncertain famine.

The horrified ancient Turan people turned their hopes to the spiritual magnet experts living in the Hope.

It was these experts who concocted the datura tree.

It can also be said that they are the last group of experts, scholars and technicians of the Turan civilization.

However, experts can't explain why the Datura tree suddenly stopped producing crops.

They used all methods to stimulate the Datura tree to inject high-concentration nutrient solution, electric shock, fire, gene clipping and even dance around the Datura tree, praying extremely devoutly.

Apart from making the giant flowers of the datura tree bloom more gorgeously and brilliantly, as if mocking humans, it has no effect.

Experts can only guess that this is a self-protection mechanism of the datura tree.

Just like when humans engage in fishing and hunting activities, they will close mountains for afforestation and set up closed fishing seasons.

The mandala tree also needs a period of rest after absorbing underground spiritual energy for a long time and bearing crazy fruits.

After all, psychic energy is an extremely unstable and corrosive energy.

Over a long period of time, the cells, fiber tubes, roots and branches of the mandala tree itself cannot bear the overload of spiritual energy transported from the ground to the surface, and there is a risk of collapse.

The survival instinct made the mandala tree choose to "close the mountain to cultivate forests".

As for the mandala trees that grew at different times, why did they choose to "close the mountains for forestation" at the same time?

Experts believe that this is because the datura tree releases a special pheromone that lets others around it know that it's time to rest.

After all, the roots of the mandala tree are deeply inserted into the earth and intertwined with each other to form an inseparable whole.

If a mandala tree enters the dormant period, the surrounding people connected to its root system are still continuously absorbing spiritual energy.

These spiritual energies can still invade the body of the dormant person along the fused roots.

This "convergence" is a very common natural phenomenon.

There is nothing mysterious or incredible about it.

The good news is that after in-depth research, experts have concluded that the datura tree's crop failure is only a temporary phenomenon.

I believe that as long as they rest enough and restore their cell activity, they will start to draw energy and bear fruit again.

The bad news is, no one knows exactly how long the datura tree will take its rest.

Maybe tomorrow, all datura trees will "wake up".

Perhaps, the next mandala fruit will not be born until ten or even twenty years later.

This conclusion caused an uproar in the Turan civilization.

Realizing that the mandala tree could not be relied upon for the time being, the ancient Turan people tried every means possible to actively save themselves.

They first thought of increasing the intensity of hunting totem beasts, trying to use the flesh and blood of totem beasts to survive the famine.

But the population that a farming civilization can support and the population that a fishing and hunting civilization can support are not the same thing at all.

Besides, totem beasts also rely on mandala fruits to thrive.

When the Turan people were facing famine, the totem beasts that used to show their teeth and claws, and were extremely vicious, were also looking at the datura tree in a daze, looking at the branches that looked so gorgeous, but didn't bear half a fruit.

With the end of the mandala fruit harvest, the number of totem beasts has also dropped sharply at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In many cases, there is no way to wait for the ancient Turan people to harvest the totem beast's flesh and blood.

The hungry ferocious beasts have long been killing each other, devouring each other's flesh and blood.

All that is left of the ancient Turan people is a pair of empty skeletons.

The road to fishing and hunting is impassable.

The ancient Turan people could only go back and try to clumsily clear fields and plant crops.

But the spiritual magnet has modulated the mandala tree too perfectly.

It is so perfect that it deprives all other crops and cash crops of the possibility of large-scale cultivation.

Besides, the ancient Turan people were accustomed to holding swords and smashing the heads of ferocious beasts with their hands, and they were not suitable for carrying hoes, operating farming machinery, and playing with various medicines and utensils in the laboratory.

Breeding another crop that can compete with the datura tree is a long way off.

The burning hunger will come on time three or even dozens of times a day.

Until this moment, the ancient Turan people suddenly realized that their new body, which was full of beast characteristics and seemed "higher, faster, and stronger", had a fatal problem.

After changing from "humans" to "orcs", they get hungry too easily.

There is no free lunch on Turan's home planet or the New World.

To gain any power, you have to pay a corresponding price.

It seems to be taller and more powerful, tough and strong, and its fists can blast out as much damage as a battering ram or even a rocket.

All of this requires a large amount of nutrients and spiritual energy to support.

Hunger drove the ancient Turan people back to their original shape.

No, it's worse than "returning to the original shape".

Because the ancient Turan people contained a large amount of spiritual magnets in their bodies.

Even if the Turan people can force themselves to endure hunger.

Even the spiritual magnet can't stand it.

The spiritual magnet, which lacked spiritual nourishment, began to cause trouble in the bodies of the hungry ancient Turan people.

Under the influence of spiritual magnets, hungry Turan people often become grumpy, their aggression greatly increases, their eyes are red, and their faces are as ferocious as complete beasts. Everyone looks like walking food.

"Swallow! Devour! Devour everything! Devour all living creatures in front of you!"

Such sounds echoed repeatedly in the ears of the ancient Turan people who were driven mad by hunger.

Of course, the fire of civilization still shines brightly deep in the minds of the vast majority of ancient Turan people.

Still has the bottom line of humanity as an intelligent being.

They refuse to pay attention to the evil voices in their ears.

Gritting his teeth to overcome the hunger, it was like lava washing through his internal organs and limbs, causing indescribable pain.

Then, they were eaten alive by the spiritual magnets in their bodies.

First, the chest collapsed, then the limbs twitched and contracted, and then even the facial features were deeply sunken, as if a huge black hole appeared on the face, swallowing everything including the brain matter.

Their flesh and blood disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye, but the spiritual magnets in their bodies, as well as the cells completely wrapped by the spiritual magnets, grew uncontrollably like cancer cells.

Soon, they turned into half-mechanical, half-flesh monsters, and became the original... origin warriors.

The Origin Samurai lost all humanity and reason.

Begins to attack and devour everyone around indiscriminately.

The crazy and demonic posture is ten times more terrifying than the totem beast.

The ancient Turan people belatedly realized what a terrifying double-edged sword the spiritual magnet was.

However, it was too late.

This does not mean that they cannot expel the spiritual magnets from the body.

The problem is, if the spiritual magnet is expelled from the body, they will become helpless wretches.

How should we continue to survive in this extremely cruel new world?

"Since the final result of enduring hunger is to be swallowed by the spiritual magnet and turn into a half-human, half-ghost monster, it's better to take advantage of the fact that you still have humanity and reason, and strike first and do it hard!"

"I don't eat people. I'm a human being. I can never eat people like a monster. However, the town next door seems to store a large number of Datura fruits. As long as we grab those fruits, we will be saved."

I can hold on until the mandala tree bears fruit again!”

"There are still some totem beasts living in this big mountain in front of us, including the bark of the mandala tree and its accompanying plants. It's not that they can't be eaten, but they have low nutritional value and contain less spiritual energy, so they can't feed all of us.

,If, our population can be reduced by one third..."

After witnessing the tragic situation of living people being swallowed up by spiritual magnets and turning into living dead, such thoughts, like wildfire and viruses, quickly spread deep in the minds of all ancient Turan people.

There is no such thing as "breaking through just once" when it comes to breaking through the bottom line of human nature.

There are only "zero breakthroughs" and "10,000 breakthroughs".

Once you "know the taste by eating the marrow", absolutely no one can "just taste it and stop it".

A very simple question.

Assume that everyone needs to eat one steamed bun to survive until tomorrow. Now there are ten people and nine steamed buns. As a result of them killing each other, how many people will be left?

It would be too naive to answer "nine".

Because people don’t just want to live until tomorrow.

I still want to live until the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, next month, next year, ten years from now, a hundred years from now, and live forever.

People's demand for steamed buns is unlimited.

Before they are sure when they will get new steamed buns, people will just kill each other endlessly and without limit, until only the strongest one among ten people is left, or the two or three strongest who can't help each other.
