Chapter 334: A Little Change

"Yo, little bear, did you react quickly this time?" Ling Mo simply praised the ragdoll bear, and then said: "That's right, under normal circumstances, the earthquake dragon, a creature of the Diplodocus family, lives in groups, and there are thirty to one hundred individuals in a population, relying on the size that no other creature can match, protecting each other and supporting each other to survive. They are quite gentle and friendly, and adult individuals will even pluck off the young leaves from high places and give them to their unrelated kinds. If you know a little about Warcraft, you will understand that this is extremely rare. ”

"This is all due to their extremely long lifespan, a full 120 years of age, and the long-term invariance of members within the group, which creates a stable social structure and relatively reliable relationships. After all, in the past 100 years, everyone has bowed their heads and never looked up, so it is better to tolerate each other. There are exceptions, and when hormones fill the body of the seismosaurus and desire swells in its braincase, which is less than the size of an apple, the seismotosaurus will change its usual mild posture and become irritable, irritable, and aggressive, both male and female. ”

"I can understand that I can get manic because of the urge to mate. The ragdoll bear nodded clearly and said: "Just like the hippopotamus and rhinoceros on the grassland, in order to show their strength and win the favor of the female, the male will fight to the death with other males, and the winning side will get the right to mate, while the losing side will drag the scarred body away gloomily, find a dark corner to lick the wound in order to gain momentum, and at worst, the tendon will break and die on the spot, becoming a victim of the evolution of the race, right?"

In order not to discourage the enthusiasm of the ragdoll bear, Ling Mo considered his words and said, "Hmm...... Your reasoning, for the vast majority of living beings, is correct. ”

As soon as he heard this, the ragdoll bear knew that he had just said something wrong, his shoulder involuntarily collapsed, and he said listlessly: "That's why I hate Warcraft, the knowledge points in it are too scattered, and many of them are not systematic at all, and they are basically not right when they are compared with known phenomena!"

"Don't worry, as a mechanical demonic beast, it is already rare to be able to understand this level of natural demonic beasts. What you lack now is actually the experience of contact with a large number of natural demonic beasts, as well as that kind of meticulous personal observation, this kind of thing can't be rushed, and can only be slowly accumulated over time. Ling Mo comforted the Ragdoll Bear, and then asked:

"I guess you remember the term 'parent investment' I mentioned earlier, right?"

"How can you not remember?" Zero took the lead in answering: "That is to say, the proportion of energy and resources invested by Warcraft for its next generation, right?" Zero is very sure that his answer is correct, after all, every word of his father, Zero will firmly remember in his heart. ”

"That's right, that's what it means. Male and female who will be attentive to whom, in fact, the main thing is to see which parental investment is high. Ling Mo nodded happily, and then said: "The high investment of the parent means that more energy is paid to the offspring, and sometimes it will even affect the survival of the mother. A typical example is a seahorse, where males are often on the verge of death in order to raise their children, so males are always surrounded by a large herd of females who are very attentive to them. The parental investment is low, to put it bluntly, it is to find a place to take the child for a lifetime, and then no longer ask, just like there is no such thing, then naturally there will be no opposite sex to show you great hospitality. ”

"It's a pity that the Seismosaurus of the Diplodocus family, like the Jenny tortoise, is a typical species with low parental investment, and the only thing they do to their offspring is to run from the wilderness to the edge of the forest, dig a pit, lay 100 eggs in it, and then the Seismosaurus mother leaves without looking back, never to see her children again in this life. ”

Ling Mo stroked the head of the dead earthquake dragon and said, "It's right not to see each other, to avoid inbreeding, but because of this, adult males don't need to compete to find a mate, one male and one male look at each other, and then start to do things, a simple and rough batch!"

"I seem to understand what you're going to say, Mr. Ling," a lewd smile appeared on the face of the ragdoll bear: "Since there will be no competition between males, that is to say, the earthquake dragon was injured in the process of mating?

The Ragdoll Bear's words were filled with the surprise of finding a 'companion with the same hobby', and it was hard to find a creature that liked (was) S\/M as much as it did, and its tone was inexplicably excited. Ling Mo slapped it on the head and said angrily:

"What a mess! The reason why the earthquake dragon was injured during mating was entirely because it was too big and too heavy! Think about it, in the process of mating, the male would put his two front legs on the female's back and press most of his body weight on the other's body, which was dozens of tons! Rao is the earthquake dragon has rough skin and thick flesh, as long as it slips casually in the process, it will inevitably end up with the skin and flesh blooming!"

"That's true...... Ragdoll Bear looked at the 100-ton giant beast from beginning to end, and then said with emotion: "With such a large size, the density of the muscles is not too strong, and it is already very reluctant to bear its own weight, and it is necessary to add the weight of a male, the female life of this earthquake dragon is really miserable!

"In vitro fertilization is impossible, that kind of insemination method is only suitable for creatures with simple structures and low intelligence," Ling Mo smiled and said, "Although in vitro fertilization cannot be done, the earthquake dragon has also evolved a very remarkable special structure to deal with this difficult situation, and the effect is quite good." ”

The Ragdoll Bear suddenly came to his senses: "Oh?!What kind of special structure can actually make Mr. Ling use the word 'amazing' to describe it?"

"It's also very simple to say, the peculiarity of the seismosaurus is that the reproductive tract of the female is not parallel to the vertebrae, but inclined forty-five degrees to the left or right. ”

The ragdoll bear, who was waiting for Ling Mo to tell some big secret, was slightly stunned, his face was full of puzzlement, and he asked blankly:

"That's it?"

Ling Mo nodded solemnly: "Well, that's it." ”

"I thought it was some earth-shattering special structure, isn't this just a diagonal growth of a *?!" The ragdoll suddenly jumped up and scolded angrily: "As far as I know, you human males, at least a third of the human JJ is still obliquely long, except for affecting the * life, ......there is no use for fart! Wait! Let me imagine that this oblique * is really a bit remarkable, isn't it?"

"Aftertaste?"

Ling Mo smiled, didn't care about the ragdoll bear's swearing, but said directly: "A lot of evolution in the Demon Beast seems to be inconspicuous, but in fact, it can solve the biggest problem at the lowest cost. It's like the genital tract of the Seismosaurus!

First of all, the structure of the diagonal opening on the side makes it not have to cock its butt or raise its extra-long tail as hard as it can, which alone saves nearly ten tons of effort;

Secondly, the male does not have to force his weight to climb onto its back, but only needs to put his body on the side of it, so that the female only needs to bear a quarter of the male's body weight!

Combined, nearly forty tons of weight are lost during mating, isn't this oblique structure not remarkable enough?"

The Ragdoll Bear nodded again and again: "Amazing, it's really interesting!"

"Actually, not only that, the creatures of the Diplodocid family, in order to be able to mate smoothly, have a more physical structure on their bodies!" Seeing that the Ragdoll Bear had a good attitude, Ling Mo couldn't help but say more: "The seismosaurus in front of me is dead, you can't see it, in fact, when the mating season comes, the reproductive tract of the female seismosaurus can be stretched out like the male's and turn into a cylindrical external airplane, so that the male can do things more conveniently." ”

β€œ...... Teacher Ling, do you still know about airplanes? It's really fashionable......" The Ragdoll Bear choked on Ling Mo's subtle metaphor, and then asked, "After all the preparations, why is the female still injured?"

"That's right, that front paw with sharp nails has to pull the female's back hard when mating," Ling Mo gestured and said: "The female Seismosaurus has a continuous circulation of 'congestion-blood return' in the lower body, and the external reproductive tract is constantly vibrating like a real airplane cup, causing the male Seismosaurus to be unable to stand the stimulation at all, and the mating time is very short, about less than thirty seconds! But no matter how short the time is, as long as the male uses a little strength casually, its sharp claws can easily cut deep wounds on the female's back and belly. The dead female seismosaurus in front of him is estimated to have been attacked by the Chinese bird dragon that has been trailing for a long time because it had just mated not long ago, and it bit on the wound, causing venom to flow into the body. ”

At this time, on the surface of this huge earthquake dragon, the Chinese bird dragon finally climbed to the wound with great difficulty, tore off a few pieces of fresh meat the size of a human head with all his might, raised his neck and swallowed hard, and soon the ditch was full of food, and he could no longer stuff anything. It lay on the broad back of the seismosaurus and was not going anywhere, looking ready to rest, intending to live on the seismosaurus for a long time.

At first, there were buzzing flies all around, small as small as little fingers, and bigger than a human head, flying around the wound of the dead seismosaurus, scrambling to pounce on it, covering the wound with a large black press! The Chinese bird dragon just watched these flies snatch its food so calmly, and had no intention of waving its tail to drive it away.

Soon, as the flies inhaled the first mouthful of luscious blood, before they could celebrate with their crowns, they all drank a cup of dichlorvos as if they had said nothing, the compound eyes exploded, the wings stopped fanning, and the head tilted and fell from the body of the earthquake dragon, densely packed like dumplings, the Chinese bird dragon watched the whole scene, and the hideous dinosaur face revealed an abstract ' Mocking' smiled, and then sighed lowly, as if to lament that the dragon was as lonely as snow, and that there was no creature in the world that was his enemy.

There was a mouthful of chewing a lot of dead flies, which was regarded as a snack for the flavor of the spice, and the tail of the Chinese ornithosaurus lying on its side swept unconsciously, and after a while, suddenly the butt was warped, the pylorus was opened, and a white dinosaur egg that was still stained with wet and slime was squeezed out, and rolled into the wound of the dead seismosaurus!

The Ragdoll Bear smiled: "It seems that this Chinese bird dragon has just mated not long after, otherwise it would not be so eager to hunt the earthquake dragon, it should be a very responsible good mother, I believe that even if there is such a terrifying venom, it is very risky to hunt the earthquake dragon, a little careless, swept by the tail of the earthquake dragon, you can directly delete the number and repractice." ”

"That's right, the hunting process of this Chinese bird dragon can be called nine deaths," Ling Mo said, "The Chinese bird dragon can lie dormant for more than four weeks without eating or drinking, just to bite the other party, from the moment it bites, it will follow the prey like a shadow, during which it will completely ignore all temptations on the way, and will not be afraid of any difficulties." Normally, for a creature as large as the Seismosaurus, it takes ten days and half a month for the venom to fully take effect, and many Chinese Ornithosaurus are exhausted to death during the trek, but they are still determined to chase until the moment of success. ”

Then, Ling Mo turned his head to look at Zero, and said in a meaningful tone: "This Chinese Bird Dragon's combat method is the martial arts path I want you to take! Different from my ontological suppression flow, and also different from my ex-girlfriend's phantom clone flow, it belongs to you aloneβ€”Venom Plague Flow!"

Zero was startled and stammered, "This ...... Let's not talk about whether I'm willing to fight like this, how to cultivate this terrifying venom, I don't have a clue at all?!"

"You don't have to worry about this, after dealing with your obedient sect for so many years, I have long integrated the combat methods of your group of mushroom madmen into the martial arts! You yourself are a saint who obeys the sect, as long as you are willing to practice this 'poison' martial arts technique, you will definitely be able to get twice the result with half the effort!" Ling Mo stared at Zero's eyes tightly and said:

"When it comes to the cognition of living organisms, no one can compare with me! The Chinese bird dragon can secrete hundreds of highly toxic proteins, and my poison system exercises can at least allow you to synthesize thousands of extremely toxic substances! Mixed together to form a poison attack, there is no solution at all! Your strength will soon be multiplied several times, and it is no longer a pipe dream to cripple or even kill that mushroom saintess! How about it? Do you want to try it?"

Listening to Ling Mo's very tempting suggestion, Zero's face was cloudy, and she soon fell into a huge entanglement! Just as the beads of sweat on her forehead fell, a giant orange and black carnivorous dinosaur ran out of the woods, it was probably extremely hungry, completely ignoring the Chinese ornithosaurus lying there on its side, opened its bloody mouth, tore off a large piece of earthquake dragon meat with a few clicks, and swallowed it as soon as it raised its neck!

Ling Mo's pupils shrank, and he no longer cared about looking at Zero, because this carnivorous dinosaur that broke out was the target of his trip - Rex Tyrannosaurus Rex (Tyrannosaurus Rex)!
