Chapter 293: I Am Your Shield
Because I didn't expect to be able to @ out of Andersen, there was a little chaos in the live broadcast room, after a sailor showed his strong desire to survive, for a while, the sycophants of Andersen in the barrage filled the entire screen like a tide:
"Ah, great Lord Andersen!
"Ah, great Lord Andersen, how great and terrifying your power is!"
"Ah, great Lord Andersen!
"Sell hemp pies! The old brother in front of you doesn't give people a way to live! The idioms are almost running out of idioms!"
"Ah, great Lord Andersen, my admiration for you is like a surging river!"
"Upstairs, where did you find this outdated compliment? Could it be that your village has just been connected to the Internet?"
"Ah, you're surfing the Internet too?"
"Hehe, are you GG or MM?"
At the same time, he left a message: Don't prick my heart! Give me a way to live! Back then, I was young and frivolous, and I took such a screen name, and now people are embarrassed to tell others my Skynet ID when they are middle-aged!"
"Water friend 'Cappuccino hides loneliness' rewards the anchor with a meteor shower! At the same time, he left a message: The same! Piercing my heart! I understand you!"
At the same time, he left a message: I think fifteen years ago, Skynet issued a rule that does not allow ID changes is particularly fucked! The management association is probably in the head!
"The IDs of these guys in front of me contracted my laughter for a day!"
"Isn't that great, too? When I look at my ID, I think of my youthful years!"
"Hey, hey, envious! Why don't I have the domineering ID of the old buddy in front of me, I just hate being young and not frivolous!"
"Are we digressing? Why are you leaving Master Andersen aside?"
"Lord Andersen has always been my idol! In my heart, Lord Andersen's strength is definitely the first among the eighth-level magical beasts! Lord Andersen, who is so great and powerful, will definitely not mind being humble for me to ask a small question, you have a lot of adults, if I say the wrong thing, I will definitely not kill me along the network cable, right?"
"The Supreme Golden ID 'Anderen' rewarded the anchor with a world-destroying flame! At the same time, he left a message: If you have any, just ask! Need to do so much foreplay? And in the eighth-level Warcraft, my strength ranks seventh, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand!"
"I mean, in my mind, you're number one! Then I asked? Now that you've been promoted to a super being, don't you have a little compassion when you see your fellow Jenny turtles struggling to survive? Haven't you considered taking them over, under your own protection, or even promoting them?"
"The Supreme Golden ID 'Andersen' rewarded the anchor with a flame of annihilation! At the same time, he left a message: I haven't thought about it! Although I have a lifespan of more than 10,000 years, I can shelter my clan for 10,000 years or even longer, but what is the point of this? Growing up in a greenhouse, once I lose my protection, I will inevitably encounter a catastrophe, in contrast, I would rather my race experience the survival of the fittest like other creatures in nature, and live and die and die with their own destiny! Human beings, you despise the laws of nature too much! This kind of thinking is too arrogant! Don't forget, you human beings are only more than 100,000 years old, and our tortoise clan has existed for hundreds of millions of years!"
“...... Even what Master Andersen said, I don't agree with it! Any of our creatures actually live in the present, who can know in the future? If it were me, I would definitely promote my own clan first, so that they can live a good life first!"
"The Supreme Golden ID 'Andersen' rewarded the anchor with a world-destroying flame!At the same time, he left a message: You should go and tell the eighth-level demonic beast of the abyss plane, the Heavenly Demon King 'Belzhebubu', her body is a green-headed fly, if she listens to your persuasion and promotes her own clan, wouldn't that be a beautiful scene?"
“......”
Andersen was hard to bubble up, and said so many long paragraphs, Ling Mo naturally saw it, from the bottom of his heart, he supported Anderander's point of view, but this old bastard almost did not hesitate to smash her beloved magic array when he came out of the Monster Rainforest, cutting off his own back path, which can be described as merciless. As soon as he thought of this, Ling Mo's heart was very uncomfortable, so he didn't bother to pay attention to the other party, just concentrated on looking at the beach where the female Jenny turtles were busy toiling.
In fact, for Jenny turtles, the whole spawning season lasts for more than 60 days, and when the weather starts to be colder, there are actually fewer Jenny turtles that come here to lay eggs. By this time, the weather had gradually warmed up, which was more favorable for the hatching of eggs, so more and more Jenny turtles were coming from all over the ocean. Some females have come several times and laid several litters, resulting in the ** stored in the oviducts being somewhat depleted, which gives the male Jenny turtles who have not grabbed the right anemone an opportunity to take advantage of.
The picture of Jenny turtle mating is very joyful, and the general turtle is the same, they both male and female, have long genital tubes, usually hidden under the big squirrel tail can not be seen, to mate, they will take out their respective genital tubes and hang them on their sides, docking with each other, the male genital tube hides a stick, generally 80% of the body length, human beings are absolutely out of reach, not good, palm-sized turtle JJ is longer than you.
Of course, this is not the capital for Jenny Turtle to show off, for Warcraft, they want JJ to be as short as possible, the longer it is very inconvenient to carry, even if it is shrunk in the body, it will affect combat effectiveness;
It's a pity that Jenny turtles belong to the turtle class, and the two most unfavorable mating factors account for all - they are very long-lasting, usually more than two hours, during which once they are targeted by natural enemies, they can only defend themselves with garbage skills such as water cannons, and they can't use their housekeeping skills 'turtle shell collision' at all;
Even with all these disadvantages, the Jenny turtle population is still very large, the reason is simple, Io is fair, seeing that the Jenny turtle has such a difficult way to reproduce, Io has given them the most powerful ability - a large number of eggs.
Each female can lay at least more than 100 eggs per litter, and it is not uncommon for a slightly larger one to have two or three hundred eggs in a litter. And they lay eggs very fast, and if you look good enough, you can even see the female Jenny turtle cocking her big squirrel tail and hanging down her long genital tube, like a machine gun, and 'strafing' the eggs the size of quail eggs into the nest!
Looking at it, the ragdoll bear suddenly sighed: "Sometimes, I really envy the powerful reproductive ability of natural monsters, no matter how fast our mechanical monster riots are, that is, the level of fork soldiers of several battalions a day, and although the strength of these Jenny turtles in front of me is very weak, they can lay hundreds of millions of eggs on this small beach in a few days!"
"Sometimes I have to admit that more is useful. Ling Mo was also a little touched, he pointed to the hundreds of thousands of seabirds hovering in the sky and wandering on the beach, and said:
"Mother Jenny has dug the hole so shallowly that the seabird can take its baby to the nest with a slight flip of its beak. It stands to reason that under this ultra-high mortality rate, the Jenny turtle should have become extinct long ago, but the Jenny turtle is not extinct, but the number of races is thriving! The only reason is that these seabirds can't eat it all, and in the end the seabirds are disgusted, and they don't eat the soft and glutinous turtle eggs that are not freshly produced! Even if 99.9 percent of the eggs are swept away, hundreds of thousands of Jenny turtles will still pour into the sea every year, which is worthy of being a race that has existed for hundreds of millions of years. ”
"The Jenny turtles that actually survived, there are a lot more than hundreds of thousands, right?" Zero said: "I remember that the eggs of Jenny turtles can hatch in forty or fifty days under normal circumstances, and the first batch of eggs to lay eggs here, their children have already broken out of their shells at this time, becoming young turtles, how can the size be much larger than turtle eggs, the seabirds are full after eating a few, and the survival rate of those who come after them will only be higher!"
Ling Mo suddenly smiled and said, "Do you know, although they live alone in the sea, but for some reason, when the Jenny turtles have to get together, the male's intra-clan status is far higher than that of the female, and to some extent, they even have the right to kill the female!
Hearing this, the Ragdoll Bear and Zero looked curious, and even the young turtles who were lying on the beach and staggered into the sea slowly moved into the sea, and from time to time they were picked up by unknown seabirds and swallowed into their stomachs, and said:
"Maybe you don't know that reptiles, such as turtles, crocodiles, lizards, and dinosaurs, when they hatch from eggs, their sex is not determined by genes, but by the temperature of the eggs! When the temperature is low, most of the hatches are males, and when the temperature is high, most of the hatches are females! Because the high ambient temperature means that the food is more abundant, and having more females at this time is naturally conducive to expanding the number of the population. So, on the beach, in the colder environment, the first batch of hatchlings are almost all male Jenny turtles!"
"It is because of their sacrifice that they feed the greedy seabirds with their own flesh and blood that those seabirds can become 'picky eaters' and pick fat and thin when eating, so that more female Jenny turtles born later have the opportunity to climb into the sea and survive, so that their population can flourish more and more. This kind of fatalistic protection from the first second of birth makes many female Jenny turtles feel guilty, and occasionally encounter them in the sea, and the females will also divide the food for the males to eat, and almost obey the males - except, of course, mating. ”
After listening to Ling Mo's explanation, a few people turned their heads and looked at the young turtles struggling to survive on the beach, and there were some soft parts in their hearts, as if they were gently touched:
The shell of a newborn baby turtle is not as hard and oval as an adult Jenny turtle, but is composed of many shield blades - two pairs of head shields, one pair of neck shields, six pairs of rib shields, and four pairs of belly shields. These little male tortoises, relying on such rudimentary equipment, with real turtle speed, shuttled through the rows of bird legs, like real men, crawling firmly towards the sea!
Seabirds naturally will not let go of these young turtles, after eating turtle eggs for dozens of days, they are tired of eating, and it is time to change their taste. The egret's mouth is so slender that it can barely bend over to string the baby turtles together and swallow them all when they tilt their necks; the petrel has a small mouth that can't eat it whole, but its beak is so sharp that it can easily tear open the shield of the baby turtle and eat its internal organs while the baby turtle is still twitching wildly; while the pelican has a wide jaw, it opens its big mouth and runs on the beach, like a big shovel, sweeping all the young turtles along the way into its mouth, and then closes its mouth and expels the gas, allowing the young turtles to struggle in its mouth and finally suffocate to deathThen it flapped its wings and went to feed its children with a full load of harvest. In addition, they are preyed on by albatrosses, frigate birds, emperor penguins......
It was so cruel that in a matter of minutes, tens of thousands of male hatchlings had already died in the belly of the bird, and none of them survived. And in this process, those adult Jenny turtles only take care of their own mating and laying eggs, without the slightest intention of helping those young turtles. Both Zero and Tirpitz Jr.'s vision was a little blurred, and only the Ragdoll could maintain a cold rationality, saying:
"Despite the tragic sacrifice of male hatchlings, I still feel that the social status of males is too easy, after all, their sacrifice at this time is due to their mother's choice, not their intention. Passive sacrifice, I always feel that something is missing......"
"Oh?
Ling Mo raised his eyebrows and directly lifted the ragdoll bear, allowing it to broaden its field of vision a lot, and also saw the scene in the distance. At this moment, the Ragdoll Bear's calm expression could no longer be maintained, and he covered his mouth suddenly, and tears almost burst out of his eyes!
There, a large group of female chicks were also born! They were significantly larger than the male pups, but the male chicks spontaneously gathered around them and slowly crawled on their backs, letting the female tortoises carry themselves on their backs and move towards the sea step by step!
This is not to save physical strength, they just expect that those seabirds will be a little 'lazy' when they lean over to peck, and only eat themselves above them, so as to ignore their companions below, and look forward to their own sacrifices, which can win even one in a thousand, one in ten thousand hope of survival for the female! But all the males in the vicinity did this stupid behavior, and under the huge base, there were still seabirds who were 'lazy' and only picked up the male turtle on their backs, so that the female turtle below was a few meters closer to the shoreline!
Finally.
Finally, the first female baby turtle came into contact with the beautiful waves, her clumsy webbed limbs on the shore suddenly became extremely flexible, and her body stretched and contracted in the seawater, and then she crossed an elegant arc, avoiding the pursuit of the osprey, and swam towards the depths of the sea without looking back! At this moment, the ragdoll bear finally couldn't control itself, tears came out of her eyes, flowing wantonly on her face, and in a trance, it realized for the first time what is called - the power of life!
"Alas...... Bubbling is to relive this picture......" Andersen's golden barrage slowly emerged, with a quiet tone and a hint of tranquility:
"Back then, my husband was lying on my back and protecting me from the sea. Luckily, it was so thin that the seagull picked it up and thought it had no meat, so it spit it out. Later, when we met in the sea, I recognized it at a glance and smelled the smell engraved in my heart...... Unfortunately, I later became Andersen, and when his natural life came to an end, he rejected my transformation and accepted his death peacefully. ”
