Chapter 306: Assumptions

This wide passage, hidden underground, is surprisingly long.

Lin Shuo could feel that this circular passage had gone deep into the ground for a distance at the beginning, and the trend after that was basically flat.

And as the three of them continued to move forward, the strange and thin smell in the original air gradually became stronger.

The body odor of the Dover Demon is much lighter than that of other beast species.

The reason why the smell here is getting stronger and stronger is because the air here is not very circulating, and it has accumulated over time.

The body smell is indifferent, this information is currently only in Lin Shuo's possession, and there is no need for him to share it with others.

Because the other people here don't have the ability to analyze this piece of information.

From the Lin family's hunting heritage, Lin Shuo has long known that the size of a species' body odor is often related to combat effectiveness.

In general, things that smell big have strong combat effectiveness.

This is because guys with a big body odor tend to be mammals.

Paleontically speaking, mammals originated from the paleontology of the class Zygosis more than 200 million years ago.

After vertebrate landing, these creatures did not mix well at first, and survived on the edge of the ecosystem.

As part of the evolutionary branch of humanity, these very distant human ancestors were extremely adventurous when faced with the desperate situation of survival from the perspective of today.

But in fact, it was forced.

Under the pressure of ecological niches, they are forced to leave their previous waterside environment and develop deeper into the land.

As a result, there are really no natural predators in the depths of the land, and this historical opportunity is too good.

In order to adapt to the rapidly changing new environment, the need for biological evolution is too strong, and the cycle of biological evolution cannot reach this speed, so it leads to incomplete evolution.

One of the phenomena of incomplete evolution is that the skin is filled with glands, like the ancestors of amphibians in the past.

The presence of such glands, combined with metabolic urea problems, leads to an extremely poor water-holding capacity in these animals, which is not good for penetrating deep into land.

The evolution of living things is to adapt to the current environment, because of the simplicity of the ugly, the mistake is wrong, and the process of constantly updating and patching.

As a result, these glands located on the surface of the body slowly evolved into sweat glands.

And it is precisely because of the presence of sweat glands that body temperature can be regulated by perspiration, and the mammals with constant temperature were born.

The combat power of mammals is stronger than that of other types of creatures.

Because they have since evolved a highly developed nervous system, they are extremely quick to pick up information from the outside world and respond sensitively.

And because of the constant body temperature, their combat effectiveness is also relatively stable. Unlike reptiles like hooked snakes, they wilt and droop in winter.

This kind of thing fell on the nose of the Lin family, because of the existence of sweat glands and the evaporation characteristics of sweat itself, the smell was easy to capture, and the body odor was large.

For other types of animals, this is much worse.

But the Dover demon encountered now, this extremely faint body odor, is obviously not a mammalian creature.

Lin Shuo had fought with them, this thing was heavily armored, moved quickly, and was extremely powerful in combat.

That's a bit of a game-changer.

This kind of subversion is not only inconsistent with the previous experience of linking body odor with strength, but also makes the Lin family's smell and position less reliable.

Originally, Lin Shuo was in the mountains and forests, and the smell of things came over, how many heads there were, where they were, and this information was clear.

On the one hand, the smell is too light, and on the other hand, he has just come into contact with this smell, and the basis for judgment is insufficient.

So how many Dover demons lurked underground, and where they lurked, Lin Shuo was a little unsure.

He could only roughly know that there were many of them nearby, and they were getting closer.

"Lin Shuo. Yun Xiu'er behind her asked, "You say, does the Dover Demon know that we are in?"

"I don't know. Lin Shuo replied.

"How do you tell they don't know?" Yun Xiu'er asked again.

Lin Shuo added, "I mean, I don't know. ”

"You don't even know this, why did you bring us both. ”

"It's because we don't know so much about the Dover Demon that we're here for this trip. Lin Shuo said, "And compared to the others, the three of us come, the chances of survival are still better." As long as you can go back alive, you can pass the information out. ”

"But your goal now doesn't seem to be as simple as one or two people escaping death, you still want to capture one. Yun Xiu'er said.

"What do you mean I still want to capture one?" Lin Shuo glanced at his cousin, "It's us who want to capture one." ”

"I said you two be lighter!" Miao Chengyun reminded at this time, "Are you afraid that the Dover Demon won't know that we're here or what?"

"Hey. Yun Xiu'er sighed and said to Lin Shuo, "This fool still doesn't understand." ”

"You didn't say that about your husband. Lin Shuo shook his head, "Man, I still need to encourage more." ”

"I'm not married yet!" Yun Xiu'er said.

"Anyway, it's just a matter of the past two days. Lin Shuo said.

"Hey, what the hell do you two mean?" Miao Chengyun asked, "What do you mean this fool still doesn't understand? I don't understand anything?"

"You're not so eager to admit stupidity. Lin Shuo said helplessly, "I really can't blame you for this, ordinary people can't understand it." ”

"Sight and hearing, this is how we perceive as humans, but not necessarily by the Dover Devil. Yun Xiu'er finally explained, "The simplest truth, Miao Chengyun, if you can marry Su Nianqiu, will you still marry me Yun Xiu'er?"

Miao Chengyun was stunned for a moment and looked at Lin Shuo.

Lin Shuo rolled his eyes: "What are you looking at me at this time?"

"Of course not!" Miao Chengyun's head shook like a rattle.

"I can't save you. Lin Shuo shook his head and walked straight forward.

only heard Yun Xiu'er shouting angrily behind her, and then added fists and kicks to Miao Chengyun.

While slamming and beating, Yun Xiu'er continued: "In the same way, since they can directly communicate with nerve signals and capture prey with nerve signals, why do Dover demons still develop their visual and auditory abilities? Even if they had sight and hearing in a certain period of history, then now, after they have established a highly developed neural network, these two abilities will also degenerate. ”

"Cousin, it's almost done, he's about to degrade if he beats him up again. Lin Shuo persuaded in front, "It's mainly up to you to dig this kind of pit for him to jump, aren't you just looking for it yourself?"

"Su Nianqiu, that's your wife, aren't you uncomfortable to be remembered by this bastard?" Yun Xiu'er kicked Miao Chengyun to the cave wall sideways, and then pounced on it.

"A woman like Nianqiu, whether she looks or behaves in person, is one of the best in the world, isn't it common to be remembered?" Lin Shuo said lightly, "I'm going to be uncomfortable all of them, so I can't live anymore?"

If these people have the ability, then come and grab it.

Also, cousin, don't keep comparing yourself to Nian Qiu.

No matter how good she is, that's her.

You Yun Xiu'er still has merit, such as your monkey picking peaches, which is very resolute.

I don't think about my future happiness at all, it's ruthless enough. ”

Lin Shuo said cheap words, and he didn't mean to persuade at all.

Because he knew that in terms of physical ability, Miao Chengyun was stronger than Yun Xiu'er.

Before, in the mist, the others, including Yun Xiu'er, he took it all in one move.

Only Miao Chengyun and He Yongchang can struggle a few tricks in their own hands.

In Lin Shuo's eyes, Miao Chengyun just didn't have enough experience against the enemy, but his body was so strong that he was already a rare master in the world.

In addition, he is a fellow practitioner of the three paths, and his future achievements are still above He Yongchang.

Now according to Yun Xiu'er's beating, he looks like he is being beaten and flying around, which is quite scary, but in fact, he is flirting and scolding, and there is no problem at all.

By the way, even if the two of them have warmed up, they can be in a better state when they meet the demon of Dover when they turn around.

After being beaten for five minutes, Yun Xiu'er seemed to be deflated, and continued to walk forward with Lin Shuo without saying a word.

Miao Chengyun was like a nobody, and he was still holding it in his mouth: "Sister Xiu'er, you have a lot of strength, this massage is better than the last time." ”

"Hmph. Yun Xiu'er snorted coldly, "You just thank Mr. for giving you a good body, such a good cultivation talent is really wasted." ”

"By the way, I said before that the Dover Demon uses nerve signals to detect prey, right?" Miao Chengyun was beaten and beaten, his brain was still spinning, and he asked at this time, "Although no matter how loud the movement we make now, they may not be able to hear it, but they can detect our nerve signals! So we are here now, they should know, right?"

"It's a game. Lin Shuo said, "In Yun Xiu'er's discussion just now, there is actually a problem, that is, according to her analysis, there is no obstacle to the communication between the Dover demons, and it is extremely efficient, and there is no problem in detecting prey.

But what should they do about their detection of the environment?

The surrounding environment is free of nerve signals.

How do they make sense of their current situation?

Especially in such a living environment as underground, vision is not very useful in the first place, and whether hearing is useful enough is also debatable.

So, I'm betting on a possibility. ”

"What is possible?" Miao Chengyun asked.

"It's a relatively simple way for them to understand the environment. Lin Shuo said, "That's individual trial and error." ”

"Individual trial and error?"

"In short, it is to use the way that the individual can survive to detect whether the current environment is safe, which is also the way of many low-level organisms. Lin Shuo said, "If other animals want to do this, it will not work if it is less than a certain order of magnitude, otherwise they will die long ago." But the demons of Dover can, because their individuals are strong enough to allow them to die in extreme circumstances, which are very rare on this earth.

If this assumption is true, then the Dorman Demon is actually quite rough in its detection of the surrounding environment.

It's because it's strong enough that you don't care.

And this indifference to the environment hinders their further evolution.

So they currently only have neural networking, but they don't have a high IQ. ”

"In other words......" Miao Chengyun said, "these guys are actually very autistic?"

"It's just a possibility. Lin Shuo said, "If this possibility exists, then this kind of autistic group, no matter what they do, is based on their own needs, and does not consider external factors much."

They prey because the colony needs nutrients at this stage of development, not because the timing of the hunt is not appropriate.

And if the group is temporarily nutriently sufficient, they will not prey.

That's what I'm betting on at the moment.

They have just finished predation for a day and have no desire to prey.

So even if we're in front of them right now, they're not necessarily interested in us. ”

"This is the same as you Miao Chengyun coveted Su Nianqiu, but Lin Shuo didn't react. Yun Xiu'er said, "We can understand the couple Lin Shuo and Su Nianqiu as a whole.

There are two reasons for this:

The first reason is that Su Nianqiu is not interested in you at all.

It's as if the Dover Demon has just finished predation at the moment and is not interested in extra food.

The second reason is that in Lin Shuo's eyes, you Miao Chengyun are too weak in any aspect to pose any threat.

It's as if we're too weak to pose a threat in the eyes of the demon of Dover.

Therefore, even if you are in front of Su Nianqiu now, the couple still do not exist for you.

The reason why I still chat with you is just human sophistication.

In the same way, even in the presence of the Dover Demon, the Dover Demon can detect our nerve signals, but they can be when we are not there.

Got it?"

"Sister Xiu'er, although your analogy is very hurtful, it is easy to understand. Miao Chengyun nodded with an embarrassed expression, and then said, "However, what if this assumption of the two of you is not true?"

"If it doesn't work, it's more troublesome. Lin Shuo said sincerely, "So I still suggest that you get married now, so as not to leave regrets." ”
