Chapter 463: A Creature with Original Sin (Part II)

"Bud reproduction?"

Hearing Ling Mo grit his teeth and spit out this word, Zero and Kubaji reacted very little, and just asked in confusion. However, Pikachu seemed to be greatly frightened, a golden flash of light jumped down from Zero's body, and two lightning flashes in a row came to Ling Mo's face, and asked in a trembling tone:

"Bika, Bika, Bikabi, Bikabica!"

Is the budding reproduction in the Watcher's mouth the kind of budding reproduction that is exactly the same as those bugs?

Seeing Ling Mo nodding with an ugly face, Pikachu's expression immediately fell, as if remembering some particularly painful memories, it trembled as if it was reflexive, and the facial features on its face were wrinkled together, and in the end, out of fear, it grabbed its big hanging ears with its little paws, and rolled around on the ground in pain with its head!

Seeing her pet's behavior, Zero probably understood the seriousness of the matter, and she cautiously asked:

If I remember correctly, three hundred years ago, in my time, some scholars discovered that many bacteria and microorganisms adopt the method of budding and reproduction.

"That's different, microbes and monsters above the size are not comparable at all. Ling Mo gestured a ball with his hand, and then said:

"Bud reproduction itself is very simple, that is, the cell squeezes out the outside of its spherical body, and then squeezes out a small sphere, injects the divided genetic material into it, which is exactly the same as itself, and then continuously delivers nutrients to the ball.

Since the genetic material that directs the structure of the body and the synthesis of proteins is identical, the newly formed ball grows into a microorganism that is exactly like the mother's. After the mother has delivered enough nutrients and the newly formed microorganisms have the ability to survive, forage and reproduce independently, the mother will cut the 'umbilical cord' between each other and become two completely independent individuals from each other. ”

"This type of reproduction sounds ...... Seems a bit stupid, right? All the offspring and the mother are exactly the same, can they really adapt to the complex and changeable natural environment?"

"In my time, there were scholars who proposed that living things must evolve in order to adapt to nature and eventually survive. In the long history of Warcraft evolution, all species that are inflexible and crippled have all disappeared in the long river of history without exception...... Dad, why is your face so ugly, did I say something wrong?"

"I know who the scholar you're talking about, the guy surnamed Da! He's misled the world for years!"

Ling Mo corrected: "It's not 'evolution', it's 'evolution'! The word evolution has too obvious tendencies, as if the post-biological species must be more advanced than the previous species! In fact, evolution is for survival, and there is no distinction between who is higher and who is low, for example, in order to adapt to life, the land whale turned its originally grown legs back into webs, and later simply turned into fins, can you tell me whether this is evolution or degradation?"

Seeing that Zero and Kubaji were speechless, Ling Mo sighed and continued:

"And who told you that it must evolve in order to adapt to nature? The premise of this conclusion is that the natural environment in which the Warcraft is located often changes drastically, so the Warcraft have to evolve to adapt to it!

But what if the natural environment has not changed for tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years?

Kubaji nodded thoughtfully and said:

"Oh! When I say this, I suddenly think of my own close cousin, the 'Galapas Tortoise'! Although we turtles are quite lazy, those guys are simply lazy! They are so big, but they can't climb ten meters in a month! Some of them are very lazy, they have grass on their bodies, and a lot of green hair on their heads, and they can sleep soundly and sweetly! Damn! I want to be able to sleep so much, and I will be immersed in my Chana dreams forever!

Those tortoises and their neighbors, Komodo dragons, just like you said, Lord Watchman, the parents and offspring grow the same hair, I didn't use the wrong word, it is true that the whole body is exactly the same hair! Hundreds of thousands of years, thousands of generations of breeding, the body has not changed in the slightest, just drag out one, they are all brothers and sisters of the ancestors millions of years ago!"

"That's because Komodo dragons and tortoises live in deserts, the Gobi or similar terrain. Ling Mo nodded, patted Kubaji's head, and said:

"In such a place, there is an extreme lack of resources to survive and the living conditions are harsh, and the slightest change in the body can make a huge difference in endurance and eventually lead to early death. Therefore, it is the safest plan to inherit the body of the ancestor who has adapted to the environment, and there is nothing to be ashamed of Xiao Gui Cao Sui, after all, survival is the most important thing. When the environment is extremely harsh, monitor lizards will even choose parthenogenesis, that is, they will combine the two X chromosomes in their bodies into an egg again and clone themselves, so that they can better adapt to the environment without making any changes. ”

"In this way, did cloning this kind of thing actually exist on the Noahfa continent millions of years ago, or even tens of millions of years ago?"

Hearing this, Zero suddenly came to his senses, and muttered to himself:

"In that case, cloning humans is not as evil as imagined, and it doesn't seem to have much impact on the race...... If you think about it this way, it seems that the sins of motherhood are not so serious, and you only need to solve the aspect of biochemical transformation......"

Ling Mo glanced at this cheap daughter, and sighed with some emotion in his heart:

This way of thinking is exactly the same as that of his ex-girlfriend back then! It is really worthy of the scourge of being born in the same sect and growing up reading the same "Sacred Word"! In their hearts, personal feelings are of course very important, important enough to give up their lives for them, but it is extremely difficult to make them give up the principles in their hearts because of their personal feelings!

Knowing that it was useless to be entangled, Ling Mo didn't mention it again, and continued with his previous words:

"By now you should know that the self-replicating method of parthenogenesis and budding reproduction is just not adapted to the 'changing' environment, but the adaptability to the current environment is actually better than sexual reproduction.

But budding and parthenogenesis are very different, the biggest feature of budding reproduction is the 'bud', the 'germ' and 'development' two processes in one, the landing is the mature body, eliminating the long growth process, the efficiency of reproduction is extremely high! If it is a small thing like a microorganism, it is easy to say, after all, the cell can only divide for forty or fifty generations, and all of them can survive and do not occupy much space. If it's another Warcraft...... Hey, hey!"

Ling Mo sneered, stretched out his arms as far as he could, and made a 'huge' gesture:

"Take the typical budding reproductive monster 'Starfire Aphid' as an example, this kind of thing is from the back of the buttocks, squeeze out a small aphid that is exactly the same as yourself, when the nutrition is relatively rich, the little aphid has not fallen off the mother's buttocks, and the next generation of small aphids will grow on its own buttocks, three or four bugs are stacked together like Russian nesting dolls, which makes people feel so disgusting that they want to vomit!

Do you know? A female aphid can reproduce 30-45 generations in 20 days under the right environment, and if all of them survive, they can reach 10 to the 25th power, that is, 1 billion billions of offspring!

Once the spark aphid community is formed, it will frantically eat all the plants around it, the little flame on their body is insignificant, once the large group gathers together and superimposes each other, it will form a blazing tornado in the flat ground, incinerating everything around, and the power is not inferior to the eighth-level magic!"

Hearing the situation described by Ling Mo, Pikachu, who was rolling on the ground with his head in his hands, shouted a few times, covered his head and hissed:

"Bika, Bika, Bika!!"

Don't say it again, Lord Watcher, don't let me think about it again!!

Not to mention our favorite spicy eggplant, all the plants were eaten as far as the eye could see, and all I heard in my ears was the sound of gnawing and gnawing, and the resonance frequency was so high that it made the rats go crazy!

We were forced to eat only the roots and grass roots, so we had to be faster, and when we pulled them up, we had to stuff them into our mouths, and a little later the roots of the trees would be covered with spark aphids, and we wouldn't be able to eat the farts! The huge flame tornado roasted the jungle we inhabited into a desert, and the whole clan of Pichu and Pikachu starved to death, only I was swept away by the tornado, thrown off and fell into the river, and was picked up by Jihime and survived!

Hearing about Pikachu's tragic experience, and thinking of the terrible reproductive ability of aphids that can be divided into 1 billion billions, Zero, Connor, and Kubaji glanced at each other, and then looked back at the giant licker that was 'sprouting', and immediately had a completely different feeling in their hearts:

After seeing the giant licker's upturned Vnlva, a new licker was taking shape - this was the fifteenth one she had split in a short period of time. The thirteen lickers that have split into mature bodies still carry the mucus of their mothers on their bodies, and their respective tails have begun to 'bud', forming a new three generations of lickers!

What's even more terrifying is that because of the dozens of dragon creatures that have just been killed and devoured, the nutrients accumulated in the body are particularly rich, and the mother's abdomen, at the end of the abdomen of the second-generation licker that has not yet fallen, there is also a smaller, third-generation licker that is taking shape! If your eyesight is good enough, you will find that there is a fourth-generation licker hanging on the belly of this third-generation licker, which is not much bigger than a palm!

This is actually four generations in the same house in the true sense!

Zero was shocked to find that in the ten minutes that Ling Mo had given them a few general knowledge, the giant lickers who were the mother had been bred for four generations, and nearly two hundred lickers, large and small, had been fully formed! They were densely packed together, twitching their noses greedily, searching for the breath of the prey around them, and twitching their abdomen strangely, trying to 'squeeze' the fifth-generation lickers out of their bodies!

At this moment, Zero really understood what Ling Mo meant by 'this is a creature with original sin'! Although the "Sacred Word" told her that all living beings have the right to live, the scene in front of her reminded her all the time-

It is a sin for such frenzied giant lickers to live! They give birth to too many and too quickly! Where is the need to breed 1 billion billions of them like spark aphids? Even if there are tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of lickers, it will be a terrible disaster for other monsters and human beings!

O Lord Almighty, it seems that the Word you wrote is really wrong this time...... Is it?

The seeds of doubt crept into her mind, and a strange thought crossed Zero's mind, so fast that she didn't even notice it. Seeing that the giant licker was getting more and more points, and had broken through the two hundred mark, Zero said a little anxiously:

"What are we waiting for now? Why don't I kill all these lickers right away?

"No hurry, wait a minute, and see what the bloody butcher has to deal with. Ling Mo waved his hand, signaling Zero to calm down: "If the Bloody Butcher is so overwhelmed by the tide of lickers, it's not too late for you to strike when it's dying." ”

Keenly aware that Ling Mo seemed to care very much about the details of this bloody butcher, and even deliberately emphasized the time of 'dying', although Zero was a little puzzled, he didn't say much, anyway, with Ling Mo's combat power comparable to level eight, I believe that even if that licker breeds for dozens of generations, it won't be able to make any waves.

On the scene, the bloody butcher, who was faintly surrounded by hundreds of lickers, had the power of madness and resentment on his body faded slightly, and his eyes were purring, looking very chicken thief. Having gathered so much soul power, its intelligence is not low, but it will be frantic in the face of the resentful lord of the suit tyrant.

The Bloody Butcher knew that with his bloated size, there was no hope of escaping against a super-agile guy like the Licker. But as the saying goes, you don't need to run faster than a tiger, you just need to run faster than another prey, and the bloody butcher from the very beginning, hit the idea on the tyrant in the suit over there!

When the spatial crack opened by the suit tyrant was completely closed, and he could no longer feel a trace of spatial fluctuations, the bloody butcher folded his hands at an extremely fast speed and smashed it to the ground!

Its thick fists smashed on the ground without making a sound, and as soon as the flesh and blood came into contact with the ground, it turned into a series of slender, green plants and burrowed into the soil! Then, with the bloody butcher as the center, a large circle of leeks broke through the soil not far away, growing madly upward, intertwining and weaving each other in mid-air, and in the blink of an eye, it grew into a huge bowl with a radius of two or three hundred meters, and the suit tyrant, the bloody butcher, and all the lickers were all upside down in it!

This is the Bloody Butcher's ultimate and final skill - Leek Harvesting!

Born with the resentment of the leeks who were fooled by the 'Houfu' and died in despair, when the bloody butcher encounters a threshold that is really insurmountable, he will frantically give birth to indestructible steel leeks at a great cost, trapping the enemy in the vast sea of leek wars, from a leek character who has been harvested one after another, to a super fierce life-cutting character!

Now, the Bloody Butcher and the Tyrant in a suit are trapped in this cage of leeks, and the army of lickers who have gone crazy and don't recognize their relatives naturally regard the relatively weak Tyrant in a suit as their first target!

"Open, open, open, open, open for me!fucking open for me!!"

The tyrant in the suit tried to open the space passage several times in a row, wanting to fly to a foreign country without leeks to take refuge, but without exception, they were all disturbed by the strong anger of the leeks and failed. Facing the army of lickers getting closer and closer, and looking at the bloody butcher with a twisted face of the villain not far away, the tyrant in the suit finally despaired, he fell to the ground on his knees, and shouted to the sky:

"Doctor, come and save me! It's not the same as saying yesβ€”β€”!!"
