Chapter 741 Force Druid
A man and a woman were walking through the forest.
"Our planet has a population of creatures so numerous that it is impossible to name them all. They form a network of life that is more powerful than any other planet in the galaxy. This is because Dathomir is the conduit connecting to the spirit world and the cornerstone of the balance of all things in the world."
Silli lowered his voice and whispered.
It seemed that they were worried about disturbing the wild animals around.
"Simply by discerning the spirit of a Dathomir beast, a well-trained Nightsister can gain access to abilities never before seen from an animal. Rediscovering and understanding our animal brothers and sisters allows you to solidify this skill in the Force as you travel to other corners of the galaxy."
What does that mean? Force Druid?
Fu Qinghai began to sense something was wrong.
"By understanding their habits, you can better access their abilities. If you've been in the mechanical society of the outside world for too long, especially that cursed cemetery of glass and steel, Coruscant, this exercise can also help you reconnect with the network of life on Dathomir."
Cirri curled his lips when he mentioned Coruscant.
What happened to Coruscant? Coruscant is the most prosperous planet in the entire galaxy, the capital of two Galactic Republics and one Galactic Empire. Isn't it better than your poor and remote Dathomir? You stinky outsiders come to our Coruscant to beg for food...
Fu Qinghai thought secretly in his heart.
Of course, although Syllie never mentioned her life experience, Fu Qinghai could infer from her words that Syllie was not the kind of ignorant witch who had lived in Dathomir all her life. Perhaps it was because of the mercenary mission assigned to her by Madam Talzin, in any case, she must have traveled in the Milky Way and had seen the world.
At least Cirri had been to Coruscant.
Fu Qinghai has never been to Coruscant.
Xili didn't know what Fu Qinghai was thinking.
Still continuing along the forest path through the bushes.
Fu Qinghai bent over and followed Xili through a bush with broad and dense leaves. The two saw a familiar huge creature lying less than ten meters away from them, and another Rank beast with a shoulder height of nearly ten meters.
"You are very familiar with this big guy."
Syllie stared at the Rankmon and whispered:
"The rank beast is the ruler of all beasts on Dathomir. The Nightsisters believe that it combines the ferocity of the Fanged God and the insight of the Winged Goddess. Its huge claws sweep across the eight directions, and its sharp teeth tear everything apart. But at the same time, many people don't know that the rank beast is actually full of wisdom and warmth. They use their long arms and strong legs to move through the forest, hunting screaming Pupobeasts and chasing fleeing Pomabeasts. The Nightsisters communicate with them, talk with them, and control them... Wait a minute!"
Xili raised his hand and pressed Fu Qinghai's shoulder.
Fu Qinghai was ready to go and almost jumped out.
"how?"
Fu Qinghai turned around and asked in confusion:
"You said this is the most powerful creature on the planet. Doesn't that make it a perfect prey for me? Hunting a Rank should allow me to see the legendary Fanged God, right?"
“You try to tame it.”
Xili looked at Fu Qinghai and said seriously:
"Don't use brute force, use the method I taught you."
Use the method of soul communication?
Fu Qinghai thought about it and nodded.
Then he jumped up from the bushes.
……
"Oh!"
Fu Qinghai was slapped away by the Rank beast's claw. His body broke a tree with a diameter of one meter in half, and wood chips flew everywhere. The treetop shook and fell down. Seeing this, Xili stood up in surprise, but saw that Fu Qinghai stood up as if nothing had happened and patted the wood chips on his back.
"Roar--"
The Rank beast roared at Fu Qinghai.
"call……"
Fu Qinghai took a deep breath, resisted the urge to beat up this Rank, and walked towards him again.
The Rank beast pounced on him as usual, swinging its long claws and arms. Fu Qinghai used inertia to accelerate a few light turns and jumps to avoid the giant claws, grabbed Rank's shoulders with one hand and jumped on top of its head, lying on the back of the beast, holding his breath and concentrating to try to communicate with the spirit again.
"Roar!"
And the Rankmon was still roaring with its head raised.
His claws kept scratching at his head.
"Just be damn quiet and listen to me!"
Fu Qinghai finally lost all patience and punched Rank on the top of his head. He then continued to lean over and try to communicate with Rank mentally. Every time the communication failed, he punched Rank on the head and repeated the process. After patiently communicating over and over again...
Rankmon finally calmed down.
Fu Qinghai heard the "voice" coming from his mind.
He successfully communicated with Rank's soul.
Fu Qinghai stood up on top of the Rank beast, turned around and looked at Xierli who was standing not far away. He spread his hands and said nothing, with an expression on his face as if asking: How was my performance?
Sirri sighed helplessly. Even the Rank beast at the top of the planet's food chain had been tamed by him again. I'm afraid other wild beasts would not cause him any trouble.
……
"The Drebin beast and the Surian dragon are also the main predators of Dathomir. Their thick skin allows them to withstand most damage. Other creatures must flee immediately when they see them appear, otherwise they will soon become their food."
Xili and Fu Qinghai went deep into the forest.
"Madam Talzin once told me."
At this moment, Cyril seemed to recall something:
"Just like the Drebin and the Surian, we don't have to change and accommodate those who are weaker than us."
"Do you agree with this logic and argument?"
Fu Qinghai asked calmly, looking straight ahead.
No wonder the Jedi and Sith classify the Nightsisters as users of the dark side of the Force. The logic and rhetoric of "the strong do not have to accommodate the weak" and the beautified term "follow nature" are actually just copying the survival logic of the animal world into human society without any changes.
The core of social Darwinism is to regard human society as the animal world, and to completely rationalize the law of the jungle where the strong prey on the weak. However, although humans have animality, they are not beasts after all, and they should be a kind of existence that transcends beasts. In the multi-racial reincarnation world of the Star Wars universe, any intelligent biological race should be an existence that transcends beasts.
Of course, Fu Qinghai also admits that there is a difference between "ought" and "is" in logic. In theory, any intelligent race should be superior to wild beasts. On the surface, all forces, races, and countries also follow these universal consensuses. But in fact, the most basic and core operating logic and behavioral motivation of human society, including the entire universe...I am afraid it is still the law of the jungle where the strong prey on the weak.
Fu Qinghai's question stumped Xili.
She herself never seemed to think deeply about it.
“I don’t know if that logic is correct.”
Syrri chose his words carefully and said:
"But I know that following this logic will help the Nightsisters survive better in this cruel universe."
This is a very clever answer that avoids the moral considerations in the question and answers it from a practical perspective.
Fu Qinghai raised the corner of his mouth and thought to himself.
But the problem is that although the Star Wars official universe is a science fiction universe, the setting of the Force still has a large idealistic component, just like the division of the light side and the dark side. Once you decide to practice the Force, some problems are always unavoidable. In the process of practice, you must constantly question your heart and think about what kind of moral standards and codes of conduct you want to follow.
You don't have to be able to convince others.
But you must be able to convince yourself.
Fu Qinghai did not continue to dwell on this issue.
Everyone has his or her own views and ideas.
All he cared about was how to see the Fanged God.
Sillie continued to describe the creatures she had seen along the way. She picked up a leech from a wet leaf:
"Those beasts without strong bodies and sharp claws use more cunning means to achieve their goals. The vascular worms attack from within the body, upstream along the bloodstream, and after reaching the heart, they cause the host to die in great pain."
"While not having huge bodies, the varite lizard and the kodashi viper use venom as a weapon and use bright colors and striking patterns to warn other creatures."
"Mother Talzin once told us to keep this in mind when choosing our clothing, accessories, and weapons. A formidable appearance can deter those who do not have a firm will to fight.
Using fear and deterrence to achieve your goals?
Fu Qinghai commented secretly in his heart:
It's a pity that Madam Talkin doesn't know a person named "Wilkhuff Tarkin", otherwise the two of them must have a lot in common and both agree that achieving goals through intimidation is essentially an animalistic way of thinking.
"Small threats can be deadly."
Xili listed the dangers in the forest and led Fu Qinghai to cleverly avoid these inconspicuous insects:
"This is the Lightning Bug. Its stinger contains lightning-like energy. This is the Scissor Fist Bug. Once its pincers clamp onto its target, there is no way it can be removed from the skin. Even the powerful Rankemon can be knocked down by the Scissor Mites. They hide under the epidermis and chew with their acid-filled mandibles."
Dasomir is a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery.
The natural scenery seems magnificent and beautiful.
In fact, danger and murder are lurking everywhere.
At first glance, Dathomir looks a bit like the Star Wars version of Catachan, but in fact, Dathomir is more like the Star Wars version of Caliban. Caliban, the home of the Dark Angels, is often infested with various terrifying mutant creatures contaminated by psionic energy. These dangerous species living on Dathomir are also closely related to the highly active level of the Force here.
……
Three days later, by the rushing river.
Fu Qinghai now knows that the longest river on Dathomir is called "Mad River" and the highest mountain next to it is called "Song Mountain". There used to be two witch tribes on Dathomir named after them: Song Mountain Clan and Mad River Clan. After the Battle of Dathomir, these witches who believed in the light side of the Force basically disappeared.
Fu Qinghai stood by the raging river with his arms outstretched.
The strong wind whistled past his ears.
"Did you hear that?"
asked Sillie, standing beside him.
"I heard."
Fu Qinghai closed his eyes and nodded:
"The voice of the Fanged God echoes across Dathomir, from the sniffing of moogs in their dens by the Wild River to the whirling of ashiks in their nests on the Song Mountains. It is everywhere."
Then, Fu Qinghai opened his eyes.
"I saw that the souls of animals are a rough dark red, while the souls of plants are a vibrant deep green."
Fu Qinghai's eyes slowly swept across the grassland by the river. Some herbivores were gathering near the riverbank to drink water.
Fu Qinghai did not see the color of the microorganisms.
Maybe they have no souls.
Syrri nodded approvingly:
"You are one of the animals, part of the web of life on Dathomir. Even in the cold metal of your ship, traveling across the stars, you can always feel the power of your soul. Awaken your beastly instincts, and you can share their abilities with the beasts."
……
"Beasts have certain perception abilities that we don't have. We can gain these abilities through soul magic."
Fu Qinghai sat cross-legged on the grass, and with the bright moonlight above his head, he quickly flipped through the "Book of Shadows" and "Book of Order" in his hands, trying to memorize all the contents first.
"When you use the ability called 'Visit's Sense', you can distinguish the smell of the wind blowing from hundreds of meters away."
Fu Qinghai named it the Force Smell.
"And with the power of the 'Ear of Ziroticus', you can hear every subtle sound in your surroundings."
Fu Qinghai named it Force Hearing.
"Using 'Tucha Speed', you can burst out to extremely high speed in an instant and jump over extremely long distances."
This move is a bit like inertial acceleration.
"'Golden Spine Touch' can give your hands and feet a strong suction force, helping you climb cliffs or hold on to your weapon tightly to ensure that no one can take it away."
Got it, Force sucker.
"By imitating the regenerative ability of the Ufa bug through 'Ufa Life', physical injuries can be quickly healed. If a person's will is strong enough, they can even regrow severed limbs."
The ultimate enhanced version of Force healing.
“Sullian’s Wail mimics the rumbling hunting call of a Sullian dragon, the deafening shriek that this giant dragon beast uses to warn enemies not to invade its territory. Target an enemy with this skill, and the sound waves can send a huge impact to the eardrum, even destroying the opponent’s teeth.”
The roar of the Force? Very interesting.
Fu Qinghai was thinking as he flipped through the book.
No wonder Syllie required himself to understand the beasts on Dathomir before learning these Force skills. These Force skills related to the God of Fangs basically come from various animals on Dathomir, and even the names of the skills are named after the animal names plus the skill effects.
So he really is a Force Druid.
"Snapped!"
Fu Qinghai closed the Book of Shadows and casually grabbed a wriggling Ufa worm nearby. Regardless of the huge worm struggling violently in his palm, he put it in his mouth and took a bite, swallowing half of the Ufa worm's body with juice splashing everywhere.
Then he threw away the remaining half of the worm and picked up another copy of "Book of Order" and continued reading it.
"You read so fast, can you understand it?"
Xili was lying on the grass next to him, watching Fu Qinghai flipping through the book quickly, and couldn't help but ask.
"You don't have to worry about this."
Fu Qinghai said without raising his head.
Most of the contents in "Book of Order" and "Book of Shadows" are exactly the same. After all, both are copies of Alya's manuscript. It's just that "Book of Order" has more content about the division between the light side and the dark side.
As for whether these extra contents in the manuscript were added by Mistress Alya herself in her later years, or as the Nightsisters said, they were added by individual Dathomir witches themselves, Fu Qinghai could not tell.
The Ufa insect thrown on the grass by Fu Qinghai was rolling over and over among the grass leaves. While twisting its body, it had quickly grown a new body. Unlike the dark and rough remains, the newly grown part was very pink.
Xili reached out and grabbed the Ufa worm, opened his mouth and bit off half of the worm's newly grown pink body. While chewing, he said to Fu Qinghai incoherently:
"You won't eat it at all. The part of the Ufa worm that has just grown has the best taste. It is delicious even when eaten raw."
Fu Qinghai closed the Book of Order and turned around to see Xili lying lazily on the grass, eating the Ufa insects that Fu Qinghai had left over. His two legs were raised and dangling backwards from time to time, and he looked bored.
Fu Qinghai's heart moved slightly, and he casually threw aside the two manuscript copies he had read. He also leaned over and hugged Xili in his arms. Feeling the witch's elastic body stiffen slightly, he lowered his voice and whispered in the woman's ear:
"You ask me to arouse my beast instincts. Besides hunting and drinking blood, is mating considered a beast instinct?"
“Heh…ha…”
Xili felt the burning breath blowing against her ears, panting a little, and the pale and delicate skin on her neck became red and hot. She did not turn her head to look at Fu Qinghai, but lay motionless on the grass and whispered:
"Do you really have to be here?"
"Why not?"
Fu Qinghai pretended to be puzzled to tease her:
"You and I are part of the animal world, part of the web of life on Dathomir—those are your exact words. We do what the animals do, and what's the problem? Isn't that what animals do?"
"you……"
Upon hearing this, Xili was so angry that he clenched his teeth.
Fu Qinghai pressed Xierli under him, rubbing his nose gently on the witch's cheek and neck, sniffing her scent as he rubbed. His hot breath sprayed on her collarbone, making the witch's pale skin even more rosy.
"Come to my tent, will you? I beg you."
The sound between Silli's teeth was trembling.
