Chapter 114: The Secret of the Qilin
The little thing that had just come out of its shell was not a snake as King said it was, after all, it had horns on its head and four incredibly small claws. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info, but its appearance is also far from that of the Star Turtle. Not only is there a great difference in size, but the skin is also bright red, and the body proportions are much more slender than that of the Star Turtle, and there is no carapace.
Now there is still a little eggshell hanging on the single horn on its head, maybe it is the innate instinct brought by the biological genes, maybe it is because the daddy who hatched it is a foodie, in short, it crawled out of the eggshell and coiled into a small ball like a snake, stretched out its small and incredible claws, hugged the eggshell, and began to gnaw.
Even Keynes's proximity to test it failed to attract its attention, and he kept gnawing on the eggshell.
When he stopped watching, frowning, it was still the same dumbfounded look.
"Keynes, what's wrong?" Lin Lin looked at him curiously, and Jin also turned his head to look curiously, the expressions of the two were the same.
Keynes shook his head and motioned for Lin Lin to wait. In order to ensure the accuracy of his test, he collected a small amount of fetal membranes from the little thing's side. Test again.
After a few minutes he stopped again and rubbed his brow. Judging from the data, it was indeed a young beast of a star beast, and it was also a young beast with quite good potential, but when he continued to analyze, compare and test its data, he found something unexpected.
It's not a Star Tortoise!
Originally, he thought that the thing in front of him was just because it was incomplete, whether it was Gamela's high-intensity radiation or being in the state of eggs for a long time, it would cause the mutation to lose the Star Turtle's iconic back armor. But after all, it still retains the four claws and single horns of the Star Turtle, although the other characteristics are a little stranger, but there are some species of young beasts and adult beasts that are very different, so at first, he thought that this was just a young Star Turtle with defects.
But judging from the results of the test, his previous speculation was completely wrong.
He compared this little thing with the data he collected from the Star Turtle, and he was already 100% sure that it was not the same species as the Star Turtle, but it belonged to the same origin, and this difference was like an orangutan and a human, with some genes in common, but it was completely different. It is more like the product of a special evolution of the Star Turtle.
But how is this possible?
Is there something wrong?, looking at the overly small star beast in front of him, his brow furrowed even deeper.
How can an organism evolve so quickly? in thousands, centuries, or days......
"Keynes?" Lin Lin got a little closer, the little thing that was eating the eggshell seriously seemed to sense Lin Lin's approach, put down the paws holding the eggshell, looked at her, opened his mouth, as if he wanted to scream, but couldn't make a sound.
At this moment, Xiao Dark, who had been sleeping with saliva on the side, finally woke up, and when he opened his misty eyes, he was stunned when he saw the broken eggshell and the strange little thing.
"Gollum?" it jumped next to the little thing, staring curiously, and then it noticed the eggshell that the little thing had just laid down.
"Gollum. A certain foodie swallowed his saliva, and even Lin Lin and the others heard the voice. Then I saw it beak at the eggshell without any indiscipline.
"Xiao Dark!" Before Lin Lin could stop it, he saw the small thing that was several sizes smaller than Xiao Dark, and flicked its tail at it.
With a "snap", a certain foodie was pumped away......
"......" Lin Lin was dumbfounded, Jin was stunned, and even Keynes frowned with a serious expression.
Facing Lin Lin, who was "there is something wrong with my eyes", Keynes spoke: "What I want to say to you is true. He lifted his glasses: "It really can't be considered a Star Turtle." ”
"What do you mean?" This time even Jin frowned slightly, but he immediately laughed again and bumped Keynes with his elbow: "The Star Turtle is a hybrid of other species, so it has mutated?"
"Mercenary, do you only have these nonsense and dirty thoughts in your head?" The green tendons on Keynes's forehead jumped again, but when he saw the hidden uneasiness in Jin's eyes, he seemed to understand something, he didn't continue to taunt, but said to Lin Lin.
"Miss Lin Lin, I think it's a product of the evolution of the Star Turtle. ”
"Evolution?" Evolution from so big to so small? Lin Lin looked at the little thing closer, and by the way, he reached out and grabbed Xiao Di, who flew back and grinned at the little thing.
"Indeed, it's evolution, and that's what I don't understand the most. Keynes did not hide the unbelievable: "It's an evolution beyond the norm. ”
His words made Lin Lin stunned in confusion: "Why do you say that?"
Keynes pondered the wording for a moment, and tried to explain it in a way that Lin Lin could understand: "For example, humans, I think you know, humans have been a species for nearly 10 million years. ”
Lin Lin said he understood.
"After nearly 10 million years of evolution, countless threats of extinction, and natural human selection, human beings have evolved into what they are now.
However, many species that have the original genes with humans still retain their original appearance, and they can still only be regarded as animals, with very low IQ.
Others, who have undergone a long evolutionary process that is very different from humans, have become orcs.
There are many more examples of the same that you should know. ”
Lin Lin nodded, she already knew something from rote history, but what does this have to do with this little thing?
Seeing Lin Lin's confusion, Keynes explained: "So, theoretically speaking, the evolution of species requires countless generations of evolution to produce essential changes, except for man-made deliberate changes that violate the laws of nature. ”
He pointed to the little thing, "But it has only existed for a few thousand years at most, but it has become a new creature that has never appeared before, the product of the evolution of the Star Turtle. ”
His words made Lin Lin even more confused, does it matter: "Maybe it's a mutation, is this mutation good?"
Finding that Lin Lin didn't understand what he meant, Keynes breathed a sigh of relief and had a headache again, how should he explain that the evolution of this kind of thing might be related to her?
Frowning, he sighed in his heart, and said lightly: "It's a good mutation, after all, the Heaven Fruit and the Ability Fruit are extinct, if it is still the original Star Turtle, I'm afraid it can only starve to death." ”
Hearing this, Lin Lin breathed a sigh of relief, she carefully stretched out her empty hand in front of the little thing, it tilted its head, squinted its eyes, and cracked its pocket mouth as if it was very happy, approached Lin Lin's fingers, and licked and rubbed it very obediently.
"Gurgling, gurgling. Xiao Dian protested endlessly in Lin Lin's other hand, but Lin Lin ignored it, at this moment she felt that she had a subtle connection with this little thing, a little like and Xiao Dark, but a little different, as if it was more dependent on her.
Seeing that Lin Lin had been completely attracted by that thing, Keynes's brows furrowed even deeper. After a few minutes, he sighed, glanced at a thoughtful Kim, and walked out again.
Leaving their common room, Keynes's expression became more solemn than ever, and he returned to his room, destroying all of today's test results and the information about the Star Turtle that had been preserved as soon as possible. After confirming the complete deletion, he went directly to the Star Network Warehouse and logged in to the Star Network, and the first stop was the Star Network Library, which he was familiar with and could not be more familiar with.
Entering the library, the area he chose was completely different from the past, not an esoteric science class, but a myth and legend area that he would never have been able to enter.
As soon as he entered, the unique "scenery" of this place made him frown.
He was suspended in the air, with a star above him, next to which was a bright moon and a vast sea of stars that should not be seen at the same time, and at his feet, plains in the middle, oceans in the east, deserts in the south, mountains in the west, and endless snow and ice in the north. From time to time, a star beast passed by and snorted at him.
"There is no logic. A rigorous mechanical life form that couldn't stand the off-line style at all resisted the urge to leave, and said to himself with a cold face: "The brain of the guy who designed this place must have been eaten by Modo." ”
As he spoke, he half-closed his eyes and focused on speaking: "Kirin." ”
The unique search method of the Star Net Library immediately piled up all the books with the keyword "Qilin" in this section in front of him.
As tall as a hill, not a metaphor, but a real hill.
Even Keynes was mentally prepared to be taken aback by this exaggerated bibliography.
He frowned and casually pulled one out of the stack. Just like a normal search engine, everything with the word unicorn will be specially marked.
He quickly flipped through this one, and it was very good, there was only one word in the whole book, Qilin, which was the name of a person......
He lifted his glasses and threw the hand holding the book to the side, and the book disappeared in front of him in dots.
He took out the second book casually, very good, at least there is one more term in this book, the unicorn arm...... Keep losing.
All night, Keynes spent the night sifting through the boring and boring work of sifting through important information, and it was not until the wee hours of the morning that he finally finished sifting through the mountain of books, and there were only a few books left in front of him.
Picking up the one he cared about the most, he flipped through it again.
[Qilin, a kind of star beast that appeared in ancient times. With a single horn, thin scales, like a deer and a horse, and a long tail, it can swim between the stars and cross the barriers of the plane.
The lord of all beasts, the king of star beasts, all surrender.
Known as the kindest star beast, it does not actively attack any living creatures and is keen to change the environment of the planet. The star fields inhabited by star beasts are all within the protection range of the Qilin.
No creature is excluded from entering their domain, and the species that gains its favor is "blessed". 】
The content of the blessing was not described in detail, and Keynes changed another one. This is what a traveler who claims to have visited the star field where the star beast is located has seen and heard. Here's what it looks like.
[I disguised myself as an orc and finally entered the star field where the star beast is located, but this place is no longer what it is as legendary, there is no perfect planet as mythical, only the restless star beast, the planet known as the main star has been completely blocked, and the star beasts are also preparing to escape.
Star beasts are more than me in intelligence and strength, they seem to be able to speak all languages, but they don't want to communicate with other species, I tempted a young beast with a gadget, only to hear a terrible thing from it: the unicorn is no longer there, without its blessing, this star field will be destroyed, the star beasts will stop evolving, in order to survive, they must begin a long migration until they find a suitable place to live, in order to survive for a long time. 】
The book is also full of vague content, and it still doesn't make it clear what the "blessings" are.
Keynes opened another book, which recorded an ancient legend about the orc world: [An orc on the planet Libis Nata picked up a small animal, and more than ten years later, he became the king of the planet Libis Nata, and twenty years later, he began a new journey, winning many battles, until he ruled the entire galaxy. It became the greatest legend of its time.
It is said that he is infinitely powerful, invulnerable, no orc can match, and has a lifespan three times that of normal orcs.
The most interesting thing is that wherever he goes, he carries a cage with a special character, and even if he dies, he takes that cage and its contents with him and buries them forever. 】
And another book reads: "The one chosen by the unicorn will become the king. The book directly quotes the story of the orc from the planet Libis Nata, and says that the king of the orc picked up a unicorn. Then, there are many more examples in the book.
Roughly speaking, some people who did nothing in their early years got the unicorn and then became the king of a place, the king of a planet, or even the master of a galaxy.
Of course, there was only one passage that caught Keynes's attention, and that was exactly what he feared and cared about.
[Why did the person chosen by the Qilin become the king? Is it because that person will be chosen because he has the qualifications to become the king, or will the person who is "chosen" by the Qilin have the qualifications to become the king?]
This is exactly the problem in Keynes's heart, and he has been able to confirm that Lin Lin has the blood of a unicorn.
So can he boldly guess that it was because of her influence that Gamera's Star Turtle did not die immediately, and it also had incredible abilities when it returned to the light.
The little dark she raised will grow at an abnormal rate, and the potential value is unimaginably high;
The egg of the Star Turtle will evolve against common sense;
Is it because of this reason that Kim's genetic collapse was suppressed?
If his guesses were all true, if this ability was known to others, maybe ...... This era will change because of her!
As long as you get her, you can get a safe evolution, an evolution without any worries.
How terrible and desirable it is to live a long life, far beyond the strength and strength of ordinary human beings.
Keynes put down the book in his hand, he was no longer willing to continue speculating, he preferred that these were just legends, and the ability of the Qilin bloodline was only to control the star beast, at least in this way, Lin Lin was much safer.
He turned on his light brain and made up his mind to destroy these books that might bring hidden dangers even if he violated the laws of the star network.
"It's useless. ”
A voice suddenly came from behind Keynes, turning around, and Kim didn't know when he was standing behind him. (To be continued.) )
