Chapter 21 Ecosystems
After Luo Yun accidentally smashed the bottle, the black object in the bottle seemed to be very angry, making a huge buzzing sound, inciting his wings and rushing straight towards Luo Yun's face, Luo Yun instinctively reached out to grab it, but he didn't expect to pounce in the air, the black object circled around Luo Yun's body like a helicopter, sometimes flying straight up, sometimes flying straight down, very sensitive, but judging from the faster and faster speed of the black shadow's wings, the black shadow should be about to attack Luo Yun.
Just when the black shadow paused and was about to attack Luo Yun, Li Chunfeng, who was standing on the side, spoke: "Xiao Qi, stop!" ”
As soon as Li Chunfeng's words fell, the black shadow immediately turned around and flew towards Li Chunfeng, and finally stopped on Li Chunfeng's palm.
"I'll introduce you to another master, Xiao Qi!" Li Chunfeng brought the black shadow on his palm to Luo Yun's eyes.
A black, winged insect appeared in Luo Yun's field of vision, this insect had a large bulging head, a pair of protruding, black jewel-like eyes and a mouth like iron pincers, a pair of long, narrow transparent wings on the left and right, front and back, the reticulated lines on the wings were clearly visible, the slender abdomen had six pointed and slender legs with barbed spines, and the long tail was composed of many segments.
"Black Dragonfly!"
Luo Yun, who grew up in an orphanage, catching dragonflies in the summer was the biggest entertainment for their children, so they recognized it at a glance, but Luo Yun really hadn't seen a black dragonfly Luo Yun.
"Its name is Xiao Qi, it was born in this black pool, it is the old man's pet, and his next step of cultivation will be completed by him!"
"What? A dragonfly accompanies me to complete my cultivation, Master, don't joke about it."
"Who is kidding you, don't underestimate Xiao Qi, it has to go through more than 100 peeling skins from the beginning of the adult to the feathering in the pool water of the black water pool, it has survived in the black water pool for 800 years, and the creatures in the ghost world for more than 500 years will have their own consciousness, these ghost creatures raised by people are called spirit pets, it is much more powerful than you, and it is not too much for you to worship it as a teacher according to your generation!"
"But how can this dragonfly help me cultivate?" Luo Yun was still confused.
"Hey, hey, hey! Exercise your coordination and sharpness by playing a game where you have to catch Little Seven in 5 days in this black pool! ”
"Nani!! Isn't it just catching dragonflies! It's not simple. Luo Yun said confidently
"Simple! Hey, hey, hey! Did you catch Xiao Qi when you tried to catch Xiao Qi just now? ”
This question reminded Luo Yun that when Xiao Qi rushed towards him just now, his instinctive reaction was to grab it with his hand, but he didn't expect it to be empty, he thought it was just a coincidence, but now it seems that there is another mystery.
"You should know that even in the human world, dragonflies are also one of the fastest insects, the speed of dragonflies in the human world can reach 40.23 kilometers per hour, sprint flight speed can be as high as 40 meters / second, dragonflies are very flexible, it can not only fly quickly, quickly change direction and altitude, but also can glide slowly at a certain height, or suspended in mid-air, and even fly upside down, sideways, straight up and down, it can be said that you can do whatever you want, even the most modern aircraft in the human world are far from the dragonfly's flying skills."
After helping Luo Yun popularize the knowledge about dragonflies, Li Chunfeng continued: "You think about it, it is still a dragonfly in the human world, the speed and balance are so good, Xiao Qi is a spiritual pet that has survived in this harsh ghost world for 800 years, and its speed and balance are more than 100 times that of dragonflies in the human world, and this black pool is its home for Xiao Qi, with your current spiritual power, you want to catch it here with your bare hands, but it is not so easy." ”
"Spirit pets?"
"The ghost world is not like you think, there are no creatures, although the oxygen in the ghost world is very thin, but after 10,000 years of evolution and artificial improvement, some anaerobic organisms that do not need to rely on oxygen and some low-oxygen organisms that only rely on thin oxygen still survived, the little seven you see is one of the low-oxygen creatures, these creatures that can survive are the best ones who can survive after a long time of fierce competition with the harsh environment and the same kind, so it is not too much for Xiao Qi to be your master!"
Li Chunfeng's words made Luo Yun ashamed, and he bowed his head to Xiao Qi and said, "Master Xiao Qi! I'll leave it to you later. ”
As if he understood Luo Yun's words, Xiao Qi quickly flipped his wings a few times in response.
"Xiao Qi said that if you can't catch it within five days, let me kill you, and then leave the meat for him to eat!"
I don't know if Li Chunfeng deliberately scared him or if he could really understand the insects, but according to Luo Yun's understanding of the ghost world these days, maybe the insects in the ghost world really have good teeth and appetite, and eating some human flesh may not be nothing...
"Master! I still don't understand why Master Xiaoqi is called Xiaoqi instead of Xiaowu Xiaoliu. Luo Yun tried his best to divert the topic.
"Well... Uh-huh... You know that sometimes when you catch a dragonfly, you will be forced to do it if you are not careful... This has nothing to do with your cultivation, what so much nonsense, the old man is gone! Li Chunfeng said a few words and then diverted the topic.
However, Luo Yun still understood, Li Chunfeng must have used too much force when he was arrested, and 100% of those called Xiao Wu Xiaoliu were accidentally killed by him, this old thing has repeatedly blackened against a living person like him, regardless of his life or death, so a few dragonflies are naturally nothing in the eyes of his old man.
Thinking of this, Luo Yun couldn't help but feel a little pitiful for Xiao Qi, but the ghost world was originally a cruel place, either you die or I die, isn't Luo Yun's current situation the same, if he really can't catch Xiao Qi within five days, his meat is likely to be Xiao Qi's meal.
"Survival Dictionary: Ghost Realm – Ecosystem
As early as the colonial period, the ghost people found that there were only a very few anaerobic monocytic microorganisms and a few low-oxygen organisms on the ghost star, which were called primitive organisms.
In order to meet their daily food needs, the ghosts established an ecosphere system in the colony that simulated the earth's environment, in which the first generation of primitive ghosts and other animals and plants brought from the "Hope" spacecraft survived, and the ghosts also continuously improved the DNA of these plants and animals through genetic technology to make them adapt to the harsh environment of the ghost star. These organisms are called modified organisms.
After the invention of the second generation of spirit shells, although the ghosts gave up their bodies and no longer needed oxygen and food, but out of the need for biodiversity, the ghosts continued to improve the animals and plants, and after about 500 million years of continuous improvement, most animals and plants can survive even in the environment of extremely low oxygen and extremely strong atmospheric pressure.
The ghost people put these improved animals and plants into the various geographical environments of the ghost star to carry out biological diversity survival experiments, through experiments to test whether they can survive in the harsh natural environment, and after about 500 million years of survival and evolution, a very small number of animals and plants survived.
Since most of the existing animals and plants on the ghost star come from the earth, most of them have inherited the appearance and form of the animals and plants on the earth, and at the same time, the original primitive creatures on the ghost star have also evolved, but the appearance of these creatures is essentially different from the creatures on the earth, although these primitive ghost star creatures have not been artificially improved, but their survivability is stronger and more dangerous than the artificially improved creatures, and the animals and plants on the ghost star not only have stronger survivability but also have greatly extended their lifespan, Even in the absence of oxygen and water can survive for more than 100 years, the food chain characteristics of most organisms have changed in the course of billions of years of evolution, they do not only rely on herbivore or carnivorous survival, but like ghosts to survive by absorbing spiritual power, some large creatures have spirit-loving characteristics, will take the initiative to attack ghosts to absorb spiritual power, even if the powerful ghosts encounter these creatures, there is only one way to escape, so these creatures are extremely dangerous.
Due to the long evolutionary process, these creatures have also formed a spirit consciousness, but the spirit consciousness of these creatures usually does not have the function of self-thinking, the instinct of the creature is stronger than the control of consciousness, the ghost world has more than 300 years of self-consciousness of the creatures are called spirit creatures, some of the spirit creatures are artificially raised by the ghost people, these creatures are called spirit pets, spirit pets can be animals or plants.
The main role of the spirit pet is to help the ghost people fight and cultivate, the powerful spirit pet can not only quickly help the ghost person improve their spirit ability but also protect the safety of the owner in times of crisis, at the same time, the spirit pet is also used as a means of transportation and communication, different types of spirit pets have different functions, the rarer and more powerful spirit pets have more abilities, but the rarer and more powerful spirit pets are also difficult to tame.
For a period of time, ghosts have reached the point of madness in order to obtain spiritual pets, some weak creatures are killed and abandoned at will, and because the taming process of spiritual pets is also extremely dangerous, many ghosts have paid the price of spiritual annihilation in order to obtain powerful spiritual pets. These have greatly disrupted the balance of the ecosystem on the ghost planet, and the creatures that have not survived much are on the verge of extinction, and this has also led to a serious loss of population in the ghost world.
After the ban was introduced, the ghosts were strictly restricted from hunting creatures, and if they violated the law, they would be punished by exile, which gave the remaining creatures a chance to breathe, and at the same time, the ghost world government also in order to meet the needs of ghosts for spirit pets, in every 100 years, it will be open for a seven-day hunting period, giving some of the ghost people who have passed the selection the only chance to capture, and capture the spirit pet by themselves during this time, if the spirit pet has not been captured within the time or the taming fails, you must give up the hunting qualification.
So far, there are a total of 30,400 artificially modified animals and 12,070 artificially modified plants on the ghost planet, including more than 200 kinds of primitive animals and more than 100 kinds of primitive plants on the ghost planet that are now known and proven. These artificially modified creatures, primitive creatures and ghosts on the ghost planet make up the current ghost star ecosystem. ”
