Chapter 313: Caught off guard
There's no chapter, I'm communicating, begging for some subscriptions, begging for some comfort.
But don't worry, I've already consulted, it seems that it's because the word 'shikiss' is forbidden.,So it can't be displayed.,It's not a big deal.,It's going to be done soon.。
The last chapter tells the story of Paul being strangled by the female octopus when he was **, blocking his gills and unable to breathe, and finally completely lost his ability to resist, and then was cruelly devoured by the female octopus, and was about to die under the pomegranate skirt of the female octopus.
The following is the text of the chapter.
......................................................
For the sake of his offspring, in order for his genes to be passed on in this beautiful continent, at the last moment of his life, Paul did not kill the female octopus, but lifted the magic, gave up his chance to survive, and was willing to use his huge body as nutrients for the survival and growth of his offspring.
Is this choice stupid?
In a way, yes, stupid, simply stupid. But this habit of devouring mates is not unique in nature, and Paul's choice is reasonable. The only thing that makes people feel is that Paul is a seventh-level high-level demonic beast after all, and he has cultivated to this point, and he can't resist the domination of instinct, which makes people a little embarrassed.
Silently watching the female octopus cruelly devouring Paul's head, a large chrysanthemum-shaped mouth, and the hook-like beak hidden in it turned outward, and when it was closed, it could tear off a large piece of flesh and blood, dyeing the green sea water red, and the few people around did not speak. The silence lasted for a long time, and the Ragdoll Bear couldn't hold it back at first, and his doubts were mixed with anger, and he said:
"Is it so important for natural Warcraft to leave their genes? It is so important that they can give up their own lives? This kind of instinctive impulse, the degree of control over the behavior of natural Warcraft, is even more terrifying than the core program of our mechanical Warcraft! If Natural Warcraft is also designed by some kind of 'existence', then it must be full of despicable malice when it writes the setting of 'desperate for reproduction'!"
Pikachu opened his mouth to agree with the Ragdoll Bear, and at the same time to tell him about the difficulty of courtship. But in its mind, a shadow suddenly passed through it, and the throbbing and sweetness in its heart made it a little confused and confused, and finally it didn't make a sound.
Ling Mo smiled and said in a low voice: "I don't know if you have ever heard an interesting saying, whether it is a human or a demonic beast, you think that you are living for 'yourself', thinking that your own mind is your own master. But it's not, what you perceive is just appearances, fake things that the 'genes' in your body want you to feel.
You think that your whole life is to pursue your dreams, to be a noble person, a pure person, a moral person, a person who is free from low-level interests, and a person who is beneficial to the people. But the real you are just a slave to the genes in your body, and all your actions are just to allow these little guys to replicate themselves more and produce more of their kind. ”
Unexpectedly, Ling Mo said such a shocking remark coldly, not only the ragdoll bear, but even the judge Zero and the judges of the underworld were stunned, and it took a long time for a few people present to digest the shock caused by this passage. Zero smiled reluctantly, and said first: "This, this theory is too whimsical, isn't it? Even if it comes out of my father's mouth, there is no evidence, and it is hard for me to believe that I am just a puppet manipulated by genes!"
"It's just a saying I've heard, and just because I think it's interesting to tell you doesn't mean I think it's correct. Ling Mo shrugged his shoulders, and then said, "Even if you don't start from such a primitive and mysterious perspective, the behavior of Paul, a male octopus, or the behavior of those demonic beasts who don't want to die for the sake of future generations, has a very reasonable explanation. ”
"Oh, really, has humanity gone one step further in this regard?" Before anyone else could react, the Hades Judge was the first to show an interested look, and she urged excitedly, "Lord Watcher, tell me quickly! I've been curious about this question for a long time!"
Ling Mo sorted out his words and asked, "First of all, do you know what 'parental investment' is?"
The judge of the underworld frowned, and after a long time of contemplation, he said with some uncertainty: "I seem to ...... I've heard this word about it more than fifty years ago, when I sent the soul of an old man to the dead, I sat on the Santugawa ferry and did nothing, and listened to him tell me. He said it at a long time, I can't remember the specifics, but I remember that 'parental investment' refers to the price that living beings pay in order to raise their offspring, and this price often reduces their chances of survival, right?"
"Do you really know this concept? that's easy to explain," Ling Mo praised the erudition of the Hades Judge, and then said, "Creatures will make sacrifices to a certain extent for the sake of their offspring, but the specific degree varies greatly due to the disparity between different races. ”
"To give two examples: toads, they are often the female very random to put the eggs into the water, and then the male very casually swim over, the sperm on the eggs, the insemination is completed. As for whether these eggs can hatch after hatching, how to survive after hatching, and whether they can live to adulthood, these are not the concerns of the toad's parents, and they have nothing to do with them. In other words, their investment in their offspring is simply 'finding a place where the temperature will be to have children'.
In order to make the child grow up healthily, the kangaroo mother wants to put the cubs into the nursery bag, not to mention, but also to grow two pairs of different types of female heads, respectively, to produce two different types of milk. A little biological common sense knows that a large amount of fat loss in a short period of time means that the cold resistance, hunger tolerance, and defense of animals will be greatly reduced, which will greatly affect the survival chances. Not to mention the fact that the wallabies usually stay in the nursery bag for several years, during which time the mother kangaroo gives it exactly how much food it does. In other words, the investment of a female kangaroo in her offspring is simply incalculable, and it is harder than that of a human mother – at least, a human mother does not have to pay the price of death. ”
Hearing this, the quick-witted Zero had already reacted, Ling Mo said what this sentence meant, she said thoughtfully:
"I see......! The less investment, the lower the investors' requirements for the project and the object of the project; the higher the investment, the higher the requirements for all aspects. Raising offspring is a life-threatening investment for many monsters, so they are bound to set strict demands on their mates in every way!"
"That's right, if you continue like this, it won't be long before you become a qualified wilderness master!" Ling Mo rarely praised Zero, and then he pointed to the female octopus that was still eating Paul, and said, "If both husband and wife pay a high price for feeding their offspring - like penguins, it is fine, and females will have lower requirements for their mates." But for the octopus race, the male octopus will not do anything after this shot, and the 'parental investment' of the female octopus, or the price paid, is much more painful, as long as it gives birth to a baby octopus, it will enter a hunger strike, lying next to its own child until starvation to death!"
"Therefore, the female octopus not only has extremely high requirements for the male partner, but also because she will inevitably pay the price of her life, causing her to want the male to pay the same heavy price! The female octopus does not really lack the energy provided by the meat of the male octopus, in fact, everything she eats is the same, and it is more of a distorted mentality of 'the old lady dies after giving birth, why are you still so happy and happy', prompting it to do something that is obviously contrary to the laws of nature such as devouring her own family. And the male octopus, because he knows very well how perverted the female octopus's requirements are and how difficult it is for him to find a heterosexual breeding offspring, will be obedient to the female octopus, even if he is killed by the other party, he does not dare to resist. ”
After listening to Ling Mo's simple explanation, several people present were a little silent, and when they turned around and went to see the scene of the female octopus devouring the male octopus, they were not only miserable, but also had some different feelings in their hearts. The Muppet Bear muttered, "If that's what you say, Paul, the male octopus, is still dead...... Not a loss?"
If it was out of place, it was naturally glared at by the Dutchman, and the pet she got along with day and night died miserably, but she had no way at all, and she couldn't even move a single hair of the culprit! This feeling of powerlessness made the Dutchman feel terrible! She paced in place a little anxiously, trying not to look at Paul, lest she lose control of herself and do something that did not match Paul's last wishes. However, the sound of the female octopus tearing and the sound of the smell of eating from time to time snapping her mouth poured into her mind like a magic sound, making her heart ache as if it were torn!
At last, the Dutchman went berserk! She turned her head sharply and looked at the mother octopus with a strong murderous intent, and decided in her heart that even if she could not kill the other party, she must teach it a profound lesson in honor of Paul's spirit in heaven!
The female octopus, for some reason, stopped eating, and eight tentacles wrapped around Paul, and began to froze! After a long pause, an expression of 'unwillingness' appeared on its abstract face, and it tried to open its mouth and tore off a small piece of flesh from Paul's half-rotten head. As soon as he ate it, he involuntarily spit it out, and in the process, Paul's body trembled slightly throughout the whole process, still exuding the breath of life!
"Paul should thank you for raising it so strong. Seeing this scene, Ling Mo smiled and said, "Its energy level is much higher than that female octopus, causing the female octopus to be unable to eat it before half of its head is eaten." Although Paul's appearance is miserable now, fortunately, the octopus's brain is between the eyes, and the half of the head that the female octopus just ate is actually its sperm nest, stomach and carcass, and it has not had time to eat the brain. Congratulations, it looks like Paul has survived. ”
The Dutchman was overjoyed! She trembled with excitement, held her breath, and watched Paul's next move without blinking. And Paul's tenacity did not live up to her expectations, after lying in the arms of the mother octopus for a while, it gradually regained a little strength, against the rotten big head, Paul struggled to get up from the mother octopus again, and at the same time struggled to support his wrists and feet, and left the arms of the mother octopus step by step!
Although the bitten and messy internal organs could be seen wriggling from the top of Paul's head, he still survived after all! The act of sacrificing for one's own offspring is actually the same as human suicide, which is an impulsive act, and if the suicide does not succeed, if you let him die, he will definitely not want to. This is the state of mind of Paul the octopus, he crawls forward with all his might, and at the same time he is ruthless: if the female octopus drags it back, it will die with the other party!
However, when Paul crawled out for a long distance and was about to reach his master, the Dutchman, the female octopus did not move. Paul, who had already reached the safety zone, couldn't help but glance back, only to see the female octopus, looking at it with very calm eyes, without saying anything.
Paul's body froze, hesitated in place for a long time, and the eight wrists and feet circled each other, fully showing how tangled it was at the moment, and after about five seconds, it finally made up its mind, and returned the same way as it came, crawled to the female octopus, and with a fierce blow, it broke off its own stemmed wrist, endured the pain, raised it with two tentacles, and handed it to the female octopus with a flattering face, and licked the dog's face with a face of "Wife, this is the nutritional product I prepared for you, please smile".
This self-castration confession shows Paul's determination that he will never mess with flowers even if he lives in the future, and its behavior finally satisfies the female octopus, her first smile appeared on her face, the skin between her eyes folded together, and then it took the nutritional supplement handed by Paul, waved its tentacles, and signaled that the other party could get out.
Paul screamed with joy, as if he had completed some important mission, walked briskly to the Dutchman's side, turned into a streamer and burrowed into the Dutchman's ship's armor, and once again became a tentacle belt, and seemed to have entered a deep dormancy, not knowing when he would be able to completely heal his body. The female octopus glanced around, and seemed to think that the green sea was too small to be used as a place for breeding offspring, so she propped herself up with her eight brachiopods, picked up Paul's stemmed wrist, and awkwardly crawled towards the distant sea.
Although the fate of the female octopus is still inevitable, Paul did not die, and finally ushered in a not-so-bad ending. At the same time that several people present showed a smile on their faces, the judge of the underworld quietly approached the back of the female octopus, and quickly stretched out a hand and stabbed into the skin of the female octopus like cutting tofu!
What is this for?!
Except for Ling Mo, everyone present was puzzled by the actions of the Hades Judge. Only Ling Mo could see clearly that in that moment, which was too short to be shorter, the hand that the Hades Judge inserted into the octopus's body turned into a loose mycelial structure! And the skill she used Ling Mo was also very familiar with, it was the proud skill of the obedient sect to cultivate biochemical transformations - rapid proliferation!
Vile!!
Ling Mo wanted to rush forward immediately to stop the actions of the Judge of the Underworld, but the body of the stabbed female octopus was twitching violently, and in less than half a second, hundreds of giant eggs the size of a basketball were squirted out from its head cavity at high speed! However, after all, he was unable to deal with these eggs, so he took the opportunity to organize the judges of the underworld, and could only watch as the other party opened a huge space door and stuffed the huge female octopus into it!
