Chapter 970: Byaki

Liu Xing looked at Yui Matsui in surprise, he didn't expect her to call the Deep Diver hybrid a product of failure.

At this time, Shimada Xiaoya stood up and added, "That's right, the hybrid of mythical creatures and humans is a product of failure in a sense, let's use an analogy, in recent years, you humans have raised lions and tigers together so that they can reproduce a new species, ligers, not to regenerate a lion or tiger, so our initial expectation of deep diver hybrids or ghoul hybrids is a new race, no matter how bad it is, it will be a little different from normal deep divers and ghouls." ”

"But it backfired, although deep diver hybrids and ghoul hybrids still had human characteristics when they were young, but as they grew older, these hybrids completely became deep divers and ghouls, which made us abandon the original plan of hybrids - to marry humans on a large scale, and then use hybrids to constantly replace humans, so there are very few places where mythical creatures and human hybrids appear now, except for a few pilot areas at the beginning, Anyway, we can also clear spells directly and disguise ourselves as humans. ”

"However, in recent times, I heard that many mythical creature tribes have begun to intermarry with humans, of course, their goal is not to use hybrids to break into human society, but to mass-produce mythical creatures through hybrids, because the fertility rate between our mythical creatures is not high, and it also takes a lot of growth time, so it is better to have hybrids with you humans, and then use special methods to activate the mythical creature genes of these hybrids, so that you can quickly create a batch of mythical creatures, Moreover, the combat effectiveness of these fast-growing mythical creatures is no worse than that of a normally developed mythical creature. ”

Hearing this, Liu Xing remembered a classic evolutionary theory - under normal circumstances, the stronger the creature, the lower the fertility rate, and the longer the process from larval to adulthood, which is the balance made by nature.

Just like the same feline, the average cat can have four litters of cubs a year, with each litter of about three to eight cubs; Tigers, on the other hand, give birth only once a year, giving birth to two to four cubs at a time.

As for the carp in the river and the shark in the sea, there is a world of difference in the number of births produced.

Therefore, the mythical creatures in the Cthulhu Mythos also follow this law, such as the Driller and the Giant Worm, although they are both "worms", but one is everywhere on the earth, and the other cannot be found in the universe.

Back to the topic, although deep divers and ghouls are already considered "more sons and more blessings" in the mythical biological circle, they are still far behind humans, so it is easy to understand that they will use the bug of hybrids to "explode", because the genes of mythical creatures are definitely stronger than those of humans, so as they grow older, the genes of mythical creatures will completely suppress the genes of humans, turning the original hybrids into completely mythical creatures.

But, here's the problem!

Why did these tribes of mythical creatures suddenly start to "explode" at this time?!

Do they want to make a big news?!

Looking at Liu Xing's puzzled eyes, Shimada nodded with a smile and said: "Although I have been living in seclusion in Kagoshima City for all these years, my eyeliner in various parts of the island country is still operating normally, providing me with all kinds of information, so I found that many mythical creature tribes suddenly began to intermarry with nearby human villages, among which the tribe like Kitano Masaichi even asked the Kitano family to set up a small town for them as a maternity ward, so the proportion of mixed races in various mythical creature tribes has increased from one percent to twenty percent over the years, So I began to wonder if the mythical tribe was planning to do something bad. ”

"As a result, after a detailed investigation, I found out that there was only one main reason why these tribes began to import Tianding - rumors; A long time ago, when human beings had not yet developed, there was almost no communication between the various mythical creatures and tribes, after all, everyone had fought for so many years, and they had long become enemies of life and death, how could they sit down and chat together? As for the different tribes of the same race, the relationship between each other is not much better, because our mythical creatures will also be divided into categories, take our ghouls as an example, the common classification methods are giant claw ghouls, black claw ghouls, blade claw ghouls, etc., cemetery ghouls according to habitat, wilderness ghouls and ice field ghouls, etc. ”

At this time, Matsui Yui also nodded and agreed: "That's right, our deep divers will also be divided into tribes according to various conditions, for example, the tribe where Kitano Masaichi is located is all white-armored deep divers, the deep divers in the southern part of Kyushu are all called fine scale deep divers, and the deep divers who live near the ancient city of Lalaye are called guardian deep divers, and in addition to the fact that the guardian deep divers will be respected by other deep divers, other types of deep divers are somewhat contradictory to each other. ”

Liu Xing raised his eyebrows and said: "I didn't expect that the interior of your mythical creatures is not monolithic, but the division of your mythical creatures sounds a bit child's play, it feels like England forcibly divided them into categories in order to divide the local natives when they gave up their colonies, and even height and wealth can be used as a standard... ”

Shimada smiled and said: "You must know that England at that time was almost controlled by the Necrophyrcism, because after the beginning of World War II, the Necrogenous Cult won many seats in the English Parliament on the condition of ensuring that England would not be attacked by Germany, and took the opportunity to expand the scope of influence of the Necrophoricism from England itself to the control of the entire Commonwealth, so there were many ghouls among the officials sent by England to the colonies at that time, so after the end of World War II, Those ghouls made such a big drama based on their own experience. ”

"Okay, let's get back to the point, before the rise of human beings, let alone the mythical creature races, that is, there is almost no communication between different tribes of the same race, because the reason why everyone stays on the earth is to put it bluntly, they are looking at the wind, so there is no need for communication; However, with the rise of human beings, human beings appeared everywhere on the whole earth, so the news of various mythical creatures and tribes was transmitted through human media, and over time, special newspapers appeared. ”

"Liu Xing, you heard it right, there are several newspapers on Earth that are exclusively for mythical creatures to buy, although these newspapers are all published once a month, and they are also collected, sorted out and printed by the same Baiaki tribe; However, in addition to the mythical creatures on the earth, there are no other mythical creatures that can start a newspaper business, after all, the Bayaki people often provide interstellar mobility services for other mythical creatures, so the Bayaki people can easily contact other mythical creatures, and the level is not low, because low-level mythical creatures have no chance to travel to other planets. ”

"Because the sources of Baiaki are very comprehensive and authentic, their newspaper sales are very high, and the sales network can almost be said to cover the entire earth, even the ancients who have been closed in the deep sea for tens of thousands of years, they will also subscribe to a newspaper published by the Baiaki tribe, and the group of Baiaki profiteers in order to make more money, they have divided a comprehensive newspaper into daily news, tribal dynamics, anecdotes and rumors, the most noteworthy of which is this rumor."

"Compared with the first three newspapers, the reliability of the rumors is not even a fraction of them, almost the entire newspaper is fake news, because the four words of the rumors of the rivers and lakes are as the name suggests, I know that this is the customer who took the Baiaki ascension to heaven is idle, and told some of the gossip he heard, for example, there was a news on the rumors of the rivers and lakes some time ago, saying that there was an invisible son with Xiugus, and he was beaten by Satogua. . . Although this may seem unreliable, it is also quite interesting, so the rumored sales have always been the first among the newspapers published by the Baiaki tribe. ”

"Of course, the rumors of the rivers and lakes are not 100% wrong, there have been many major events before they happened, and some clues can be found in the rumors of the rivers and lakes, but at that time, they were all laughed at by the visitors, so now some people have begun to pay attention to the rumors of the rivers and lakes, and track down some rumors that seem not very reliable, but can stand up to scrutiny, and as a result, some time ago, the rumors of the rivers and lakes recorded a piece of news provided by the Isis people - the old rulers on the earth will soon see the light of day."

"Oh? Who is it?! Liu Xing hurriedly asked.

Shimada shrugged his shoulders with a smile and said with a smile: "Then I don't know, because news like 'there will soon be an old ruler on Earth to see the light of day' will appear on the rumors of the rivers and lakes almost every month, and the whistleblower may have been a deep diver who did not want to be named last month, and next month he will become a ghoul who gets on the car from somewhere, so many people think that this is the Baiaki tribe who made it up every month in order to make up the number of words." ”

"But this time it's a little different, because the whistleblower is an Isi person, I believe Liu Xing, you should also know that the ability of the Isis people is to travel through time and space, so their revelations are very credible, and the Baiaki tribe doesn't dare to fake the news in the name of the Isis people casually, because when the Baiyaki tribe started doing this business, it was said that it was to stimulate sales, so it broke a fake news in the name of the Iss, and as a result, the Isians took away the patriarch of the Baiaki tribe after they knew about it. Then take a picture of something unsightly. ”

"Since then, there have been few news of the Isis in the newspapers of this Baiyaki tribe, and it is said that there is an Isi who has been resident in that Baiaki tribe, and in any case when the Isis say it' When the news that the old rulers on Earth will soon see the light of day, most of the readers laughed and scolded the Isis on the surface that they were also bought by the group of Baiaki, but behind the scenes, they all believed at least fifty percent, so the tribe of mythical creatures who heard the news began to increase their population to ensure that their side could have more hole cards when the news came true. ”

"Hole cards?" Liu Xing said suspiciously: "It stands to reason that if the Old Ruler is reborn, then in the absence of a second Old Dominator, then everything on the earth will soon be ruled by it, and the hole cards of those mythical creatures and tribes will not be effective at all in the face of the Old Dominator." ”

At this time, Matsui Yui suddenly said: "Liu Xing, you are wrong to think so, because here' The word 'born' does not mean that the old rulers will reawaken and regain their strength, because the seal on the old rulers is not so simple to break, so if they want the old rulers to regain their former glory, then their families will have to put in a lot of effort, for example, my father once said that if the ancient city of L'Alleye rises again from the deep sea, then the great Cthulhu will wake up from its slumber, and at this time, we deep divers will gather near the ancient city of L'Alayh for a ritual to call the great Cthulhu back to reality from his dreams。 ”

"However, at this time, other mythical creatures will not watch the great Cthulhu wake up, because when the great Cthulhu completely awakens, it means that the other sealed old rulers will never come out, after all, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain, and there can only be one old ruler on the current earth who controls everything, so when the time comes, other mythical creatures will organize an alliance to interfere with our rituals and try to sink the ancient city of Lalaye to the bottom of the sea again; If they succeed, we Deepdivers will disappear from the earth, and if we Deepdivers succeed, then only we Deepdivers will be left with mythical creatures on Earth! ”

Hearing this, Liu Xing sighed and said: "I see, no wonder these mythical creatures and tribes have begun to explode, but in this case, the history of our human race will also enter the countdown, after all, no matter who wins the final victory, we human beings will not be able to avoid the end of extinction." ”

Speaking of which, the atmosphere at the dinner table became a little solemn.

So, Liu Xing and the three of them finished dinner silently, and then went to rest.

Back in the two-story building outside the manor, Liu Xing began to stare at his mobile phone in a daze, thinking about whether to tell Yin En and the others and Shi Zixuan all the news he heard at the dinner table tonight.

In the end, Liu Xing still put down his phone.

"Let's wait until we meet later."
