199. Animals converge

Chen Xi peeked at the "big cat" with an aggrieved expression half a meter in front of him, and saw it lying motionless on the ground, even if Jiang Yiming pulled out the porcupine barb would cause severe pain, it still had no intention of attacking.

"Did you really raise it? There has never been a cat in the world that is the size of a lion, and there must be some special reason why it has grown so big. If you figure this out, you might get a Nobel Prize! ”

Chen Xi gradually became less afraid, all because Xiao Huang's expression was too rich, although it was a cat's facial features, it made people seem to understand what it was trying to express, just like looking at a person.

"That's not going to work, because science can't explain how it grew so big." Jiang Yiming carefully pulled out all the porcupine thorns and piled them on the ground to form a miniature hillock.

Chen Xi understood: "Xiao Huang was transformed by you with superpowers, isn't it?" It must be so, I guess right. ”

After the chopstick-length porcupine thorns on Xiao Huang's body were removed, he let out a low howl, and then turned around and walked briskly into the darkness, and it didn't take long to submerge his entire huge body into the shadows.

Jiang Yiming heard the excitement from Xiao Huang's cry, and guessed that he was going to take revenge on the porcupine just now.

Porcupines are known for their spines, which can be up to 35 centimeters long. When encountering an enemy, the thorns stand and shake, making a "rustling" sound, and in case of emergency, they can retreat, and then pounce on the enemy to insert the thorns into their bodies. Some species of porcupines are able to shoot their spikes directly into their enemies.

It is more than 70 centimeters long and can be found on hillsides, meadows or dense forests. Cave dwelling. Nocturnal activity and often a certain route. As I walked, the thorns rubbed against each other and there was a sound. Herbivorous. Thorns can be used as ornaments, toothpicks, and floats for fishing, etc., and the meat is tender and delicious, and can be eaten.

It is generally distributed in the central and southern parts of China, but recently due to environmental degradation and overfishing, it has become a protected animal, and it is reasonable to see wild porcupines in the suburbs of Baisha City. The porcupine that just stabbed Xiao Huang may have been the lucky one who ran out of the recently emerging porcupine farm.

You must know that after the porcupine uses up all the spikes on its body, it takes a long time to regrow, and the porcupine without protection is the most dangerous time. Seeing Xiao Huang's figure enter the dark forest, Jiang Yiming chased after him.

"Hey, what are you going to do?" Chen Xi shouted from behind, carrying a camping lantern and chasing after him.

Jiang Yiming turned on the flash light of his mobile phone, and saw that Xiao Huang was holding down a gray-brown animal with one paw and was about to open his mouth to bite, so he hurriedly shouted: "Stop Xiao Huang!" ”

Xiao Huang tilted his head and looked at Jiang Yiming, who was walking quickly, not knowing why he wanted to stop it from taking revenge. It was the inconspicuous little guy at his feet who made it suffer a great sin just now, isn't it a bright and just thing to take revenge on the past?

Jiang Yiming snatched a black-skinned animal out from under Xiao Huang's paws, and with the flash of his mobile phone, he could clear the thick holes left on the skin on the back of this animal, which was the porcupine that hurt Xiao Huang with his might last time.

Creak! This little thing has no means of defense, and is very frightened when its body hangs in the air, and constantly makes panicked screams, which looks quite pitiful.

Jiang Yiming used a little druid trick to calm down the somewhat frightened porcupine: "Don't worry, I won't hurt you, I just want to know why you are here, there must be a reason why you don't stay in the cave and run to the dangerous wild in winter." ”

"Jiang Yiming, it turns out that you are here to be this porcupine? It's good, it's so pitiful for such a poor little thing to look at, anyway, Xiao Huang is not seriously injured, and it should be let go. Chen Xi chased after him, and compared the porcupine, which was about the size of a kitten, and Xiao Huang, who was the size of a lion, and suddenly had a tendency.

"Well, I'll let this porcupine go later." Although Jiang Yiming did not sympathize with the porcupine as Chen Xi thought, in fact, he did save the porcupine's life. While talking to Chen Xi, he slowly figured out what the porcupine meant.

This little creature is not a little yellow fat head with a lot of intelligence, it is difficult to express one thing, it will only open up a lot of messy memories. To figure out the reason, he can only analyze it himself, like sorting out the one needed from a messy mess of rope.

"Hey, what are you doing with a porcupine? I guess I want to eat it. Chen Xi saw that Jiang Yiming didn't reply for two minutes, and his face was anxious, "It's so small, it must have no meat to eat, just let it go." ”

"Okay, let's let it go." Jiang Yiming put the porcupine on the ground, and when he saw it, he immediately slipped into the grass and disappeared, only the sound of rustling blades of grass rubbing against each other could be heard. Taking advantage of that time just now, I finally figured out why the porcupines came here.

It turned out that it smelled very pleasant and migrated from the cave in the hills a few kilometers away to the botanical garden. After coming here, the porcupine had a happy life, and although there was a little less variety of food, it felt that the unique smell of the place reassured it.

This reminded Jiang Yiming of the insect plague that had occurred in the botanical garden, when a large number of leaf-eating insects swarmed and rushed to eat the leaves of the trees in the botanical garden that he had urged. In the end, he transformed a batch of insectivorous birds to control the insect plague.

Now, he thought, the whole botanical garden had almost grown, and the trees had not only become taller and more vibrant, but also attracted the animals of the neighborhood. It seems that it won't be long before the nearby theater titles will notice that the entire botanical garden is full of different kinds of animals.

"Let's go, I guess Cui Ziyu is impatient, don't let her blow in the cold wind for too long." Chen Xi took Jiang Yiming's arm and pulled him out. As midnight approached, the cold wind howled in the woods, and the temperature became even colder.

……

While Jiang Yiming was sitting in the tent to cultivate, an important research in the superpower research room was still going on, and Pan Rong, as the only source of mutagenesis, was still strictly required to be on duty, even though he was sleepy-eyed and yawning.

"Dr. Li, can you let me go to sleep? I'm afraid I'm going to lie down on the ground if I stay. You know, I haven't closed my eyes for two days, and when you say that the experiment is about to succeed, do you mean two days or three days? ”

Pan Rong was very dissatisfied and complained repeatedly, it was really about to explode. Anyone who accompanies boring experiments, watching those experimenters come and go, constantly looking at the microscope without knowing anything, will also get angry.

"Wait, this experiment will be a success! We've found the maximum threshold at which a clone can withstand superpowers, and we promise not to let it burst into a mess of meat sauce, so be patient. Dr. Lee also didn't sleep for two days, but as soon as inspiration strikes, he can't let it break, which is his experience.

A few days ago, a certain experimenter had a whim, thinking that Jiang Yiming could change the body shape of animals because of his superpowers, so Pan Rong, who was locked in a cell, was asked to come over to participate in the experiment.

After the heroic sacrifice of a few small insects, the lab has learned that the amount of superpower input must be controlled so that the animals do not explode into a mass of meat sauce as they grow in size. Once the reason is figured out, all that's left is quantitative analysis, which is basic for researchers.

After successfully doubling the size of the mice, the enthusiastic scientists were no longer satisfied with the mere increase in the size of the animal, and they began to look for a more valuable way to use this ability: to grow clones quickly.
