Chapter 561: Male Egg
Therefore, when to consume energy and when not to consume energy, these cavemen actually know in their hearts.
Those who act as bait are not so much that the tribe has abandoned them, but that they have actively sacrificed themselves to ensure that the tribe can continue better.
As they became familiar with these cavemen, the scouts, who felt that they had the potential to transform into a population under the command of the Tang army, tried to bring them back to the landing site on the south bank.
Fortunately, after this period of familiarity, the cavemen who regarded the scouts as the leaders of the clan already had a lot of trust in them.
Although extremely reluctant and afraid to leave the habitat, he obediently took out the accumulated food and belongings from the cave and prepared to leave with the "leader".
You know, every time you leave a habitat where you can hide, and you are exposed to the sky where giant birds can appear at any time to migrate, it may be a dead road for these cavemen.
Even some of the cavemen, who seemed to be older, took the initiative to go to the periphery of the group.
The chieftain and the women and children were protected in the middle, apparently ready to sacrifice themselves at any time to attract the giant birds.
This wordless move made the Tang Army scouts feel mixed feelings for a while.
Subconsciously clenched the Sunshooting Bow and Dragon's Tooth Blade in his hand, determined to ensure that these cavemen were not threatened by the giant birds along the way.
But when the cavemen are ready to go.
Some caveman women, who looked very weak, actually pulled out some eggs the size of watermelons from their holes.
Carefully cuddling in his arms, he hid in the crowd, and the cavemen around him instinctively covered the women with their bodies.
The scouts were dumbfounded, what a big egg was coming? Could it be the eggs of those giant birds?
Besides, do they have the courage to dig up the nest of the giant bird?
Although they were curious, but under the language barrier, the caveman women who were holding the big eggs were just at a loss and didn't understand what the leaders were talking about, but they were very nervous about the eggs, and even the scouts would show a warning sound like a guardian mother beast if they wanted to touch it.
The scouts had no choice but to let them go, escorting the cavemen to the landing site on the south bank of Zhongyun Continent.
The closer you get to the cliff where the giant bird lives, the more frequent the giant bird will be.
These cavemen are in the same habitat and will scream and scurry around when they encounter giant birds.
Caveman women holding eggs will kneel on the spot and hide their eggs under them, while other cavemen will gather tightly together and cover the women with their bodies.
Although every time the giant bird doesn't wait to get close, it will be killed by the scouts.
But the cavemen still react meticulously every time until the crisis is resolved.
This made the scouts curious, and judging by the cavemen's reactions, it was clear that the eggs were not intended as food reserves.
Until one day, when they were walking well, suddenly a caveman woman in the team exclaimed happily, and suddenly the whole team stopped and gathered together.
The scouts who were waiting for the escort on the periphery rushed over to take a look thinking that something was wrong, but they were stunned to see the magical scene that subverted their three views the most in their lives.
The caveman woman was holding an egg that cracked, and the scouts thought she had accidentally fallen by mistake, but the next moment the egg shattered, and a pink little doll rolled out!
The scouts were stunned on the spot, how could a baby hatch in the egg?
After the little baby hatched, she didn't cry or make trouble, she rolled on the ground with her small mouth and got up tremblingly, stumbling around.
At the beginning, this little baby still fell from time to time because of weakness in his legs and feet.
The surrounding cavemen did not help him, but encouraged the little baby to stand up with a low muffled roar.
Soon the little baby walked more and more steadily, but a stick of incense could be happy to jump and run.
And at this time, there will be a caveman male, who somewhere takes out a fist-sized egg, hands it to the little baby who hatched from the egg, knocks out a hole and drinks it.
Regardless of whether the scouts destroyed the three views or not, this incident was just a small episode in the migration process.
And with the continuous march, more and more egg-laying babies were hatched, which made the original team expand by about one-third.
What's even more amazing is that these egg-giving babies grow when they see the wind like they are blowing, and they are almost soaring at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In the first three days, you also need to eat eggs, and in the next three days, you can eat some grass seeds, insects, and a small amount of egg liquid, and in a week, you will grow more than a meter tall like a five- or six-year-old doll.
By the time they arrived at the landing site on the South Bank, they had only been around for a little more than a month and less than two months, and they had grown like teenagers among the cavemen.
And the scouts who secretly observed all the way also discovered a shocking fact, that is, these cavemen actually laid eggs, and both men and women laid eggs!
After a caveman woman becomes pregnant, it only takes two or three days for her to become pregnant, and her abdomen is bulging and enlarged.
At this point, they will be extra careful to protect their abdomen, and if they are in a habitat, they will hide in a hole and keep their doors closed.
In just one day, these caveman women lay an egg the size of a watermelon.
It is then held in its arms and incubated at body temperature, and it usually takes only 28 days to hatch a small baby.
However, during the month from conception to egg laying to hatching, caveman females usually do not leave their nests to forage for food.
At this time, it is necessary for caveman men to provide them with food and nutrition.
So in addition to going out to collect food and bring it back, caveman males also lay fist-sized eggs every day.
These "male eggs" only have egg whites and no yolks, so naturally they can't hatch eggs and give birth to babies.
The main function is to supplement nutrition for the caveman women who hatch eggs, and to feed the hatched babies.
Yes!
Caveman females are only responsible for laying eggs and hatching them.
And with the baby and the nursing child, it is actually the caveman male who is responsible!
If you think that the "male eggs" they lay must be more than five times more protein than beef......
And in the process of the caveman male being responsible for taking care of the baby and nursing the child, and teaching the egg baby various survival skills.
Women take the opportunity to recuperate and nourish in preparation for the next round of conception and incubation.
Generally speaking, the egg baby is weaned in seven days, and it can grow into a juvenile state in two months, and can forage for food and stand on its own.
At this time, the caveman who has cultivated her body can reproduce again.
In other words, cavemen can breed four times a year and give birth to four babies...... With this breeding frequency, it's no wonder that other creatures in Zhongyun Continent are extinct, but they can reproduce under the ravages of giant birds!
