Chapter 729: Omen of Upheaval

"It's a little more than before......"

Sitting on the branches of a giant tree, Cervantes looked far to the north.

His current position was still some distance from the Atoso Mountains, and he could reach them in a day if he had traveled day and night, but the last time he entered the Atoso Mountains, it had not yet been filled with chaotic magic from the astral plane, but now even the outer areas of the Black Forest were affected.

The effect of the magic element on the surrounding environment is obvious, and the trees have broken through the limits of life, and a huge tree with lush branches seems to be able to form a forest on its own.

The surrounding trees are tall and low, but they are basically the same from the outside, but the direction of 'evolution' seems to be a little different.

It seems that since the appearance of the magic element, the monsters in the Black Forest seem to have ushered in another change.

They seem to be very manic, very in line with the performance of the 'estrus period', after being stimulated by the magic element, even if they are not in estrus, the monsters and monsters are constantly breeding, and it seems that something is brewing.

Mass is not generated out of thin air, and energy does not increase out of thin air, and the increase in the content of magic in the atmosphere promotes the efficiency of plants in absorbing and using energy, promoting plant growth and producing more nutrients, which is the polarized plant evolutionary trend.

After obtaining enough nutrients, the magic element also affected the monster's unstable life form, causing the monster to change again.

And in this process, although monsters do not have the ability to reproduce in the traditional sense, after all, they are individuals who have made mistakes in evolution, but if they reproduce asexually, they can continue to reproduce, and then evolve into a kind of monster race that can be counted.

Since entering the Black Forest, he has indeed seen a lot of demonic beasts from the Atoso Mountains, and as for the monsters, he didn't pay much attention to them.

He can remember the ethnic group and basic appearance of the monsters, but he can't remember what the monsters really are, but there is no doubt that the strength level of those beasts is not low, and they can even use some supernatural abilities with their bloodlines.

Although it was expected, it also surprised Cervantes.

Looking in the direction behind him, he could only see the lush forest, not the Great Black Wall under construction.

The continent under his feet was on a planet, and if it were divided according to the division on the other side of the earth, he should have entered the tropical region of this planet by now.

The surrounding vegetation is thick, the air is humid, and in addition to the forest, the swamp is the main ecological environment here, which is not suitable for human survival at all, but it is a paradise for wild beasts.

There are a variety of plants here, and the plants that are producers in the biosphere provide nutrients to the animals, and when they are influenced by magic, the plants grow much faster than other places, and this environment is very suitable for the survival and breeding of herbivores, and once the number of herbivores increases, it means that the carnivores can also get enough food, and the numbers will also change dramatically.

Entering this continent through the astral passage is not only the chaotic magic in the astral realm, but also a lot of matter.

This is based on observations and calculations of the Black Forest in the hundred or two hundred years since the Astral Passage was opened, because in an isolated system, neither mass nor energy increases out of thin air!

Although it is not yet known whether the law of conservation of mass and energy still applies in this multiverse, it is easy to know from Cervantes' observations of his own body that the dragon's body has become so large precisely because they have absorbed enough nutrients.

The influx of magic has stimulated the growth and reproduction of surrounding plants and animals, does that mean that more material has flowed into this world?

............

"The concentration of magic in the atmosphere is about 0.0016%, and it seems that the growth rate has slowed down a lot. ”

Ziegler smiled and took up his pen to mark his notes.

"However, the proportion of fire elementals has increased a lot, is it affected by the change in magic element, or is it the change in the Black Forest itself?"

Leaning against the trunk of the tree, Ziegler listened to the continuous sound of chewing in his ears, and without saying anything, he patted the little head of the puppet girl sitting next to him, "Rena, let's go, continue to move east." ”

Ziegler did not choose to fly, but stood up from under the tree and walked east.

If you fly, you are just watching the flowers, not observing at all, only one step at a time, can more similar but not exactly the same information enter the brain.

That's when he was able to make a good comparison and see what was going on in this place.

It's been six days since he entered the Black Forest, and eighteen days since Cervantes entered the Black Forest, and if the black dragon wasn't going to go deep into the Atoso Mountains, it should be almost time to return.

He didn't want to go back that soon, though, and if he could, he wanted to stay here for a month or two to observe what was going on.

The overgrowth of plants and the desire of animals to reproduce were both expected by him, and he had developed a great interest in 'magic elements' since he came into contact with the 'yet-to-be-proven' knowledge of the otherworld.

According to the division of otherworldly knowledge, the effects of magic on animals and plants can undoubtedly be classified as 'radiation'.

He also has a great curiosity about the nature of magic, what is magic, how does it spread, and does it have a 'wave/particle duality'?

None of the above questions are known, but this is what excites him the most.

If the vast majority of people in the world are unable to perceive and use magic, then they will undoubtedly have a very likely to develop such a civilization.

This is what Ziegler needs most at the moment, and this knowledge from other worlds has inspired him a lot.

But this knowledge is not the most precious, the most precious thing is the thinking that lies between these knowledges - if you look at the world not with the thinking of a traditional mage, but with the thinking of a 'scientist', you can find a completely different side of this world.

As he progressed deeper into the Black Forest, he discovered that the soil nutrients had not changed much – something that had been observed in the context of the upheaval of the plants.

Plants also need to absorb substances to grow, while ordinary plants cannot eat directly and need to absorb the nutrients they need from the soil to grow.

All plants in the Black Forest have changed dramatically, and the ratio of quantity and density has not changed much compared to before, and all this is possible if the soil nutrients can supply so many plants.

However, the proportions have not changed much, which naturally means that the Black Forest is constantly expanding, otherwise the gradually becoming larger and more luxuriant trees will inevitably squeeze the living environment of other plants.

There have been no noticeable changes on the borders of the Duchy of Sorrow, that is, the Black Forest to the east or west has expanded.

That's why Ziegler wanted to go to the grasslands east of the Duchy of Sorrow, and after going a certain distance, he no longer continued to go deep into the Black Forest, but went east.

In such an environment, the furnace may require a stronger cooling system to operate, otherwise the furnace may 'overheat' and cause the furnace to fry.

Although there are quite good protection measures, if a magic furnace explodes, it means that there is a gap in the protection of the north, and in this way, Cervantes and Serena may have to arrest him to be a coolie again.

"The concentration of the fire element is gradually increasing......"

Putting down the mirror in his hand, Ziegler frowned.

The values displayed in the spellcasting item may not be accurate, but even if there is an error, it will not be too different, after all, it is his own creation, and he believes that he should not make a mistake.

The farther east you go, the higher the concentration of the fire element, and there is still a long way to go before the flame is ignited, but at this point, the air will start to get dry.

If he's not mistaken, there was a drought on the Sloan continent this spring, right?

The fire elementals should have all gathered on that side temporarily, but what is going on?
