Chapter 120: The Pathetic Fish-Man
The village chief invited Li Le to sit down and introduced: "I am the village chief Jiansuke, may I ask what your name is?" â
Li Le thought for a moment and replied, "Call me the Black Devil." "There's no need to give away your name until you have exterminated the Fish-Man Pirates, it's just a code name anyway.
Jiansuke nodded and asked, "Then Mr. Dark Devil, do you understand the strength of your opponent?" The leader Aaron has a reward of tens of millions, not to mention that he also has three cadres under him, and a group of strong fishmen......"
Li Le raised his hand and said with a smile: "I already know this information, what I want to know is their current movements." Although I thought I could defeat Aaron, I was reluctant to face their siege. Therefore, I was looking for a suitable time, preferably a dry one. â
The villagers next to them looked at each other in surprise, although this young man who called himself a black devil was a little too young, but at least there was a hope.
Kyosuke shook his head, "Mr. Dark Devil, before I tell you the information, I want you to take a look at the traces left by the fish-people when they destroyed the village. If you are still confident after reading it, then we will support you with all our might, even if it is risking my life. But ......"
"If I'm scared by that mark, I'll just do it. Okay, let's go. Li Le said heartily. I can't see that although this man has a fierce face due to scars on his face, he has a pretty good heart.
Jiansuke took Li Le to a building in the village, pointed to two collapsed walls in a row, and said, "This is a blister spewed out by a fish-man cadre. One blow pierced through two layers of walls and blew the house like this. â
Li Le walked in along the collapsed gap, looking at the interior of a messy house, his expression was a little serious.
This kind of attack power, even if Toguro is 100% colonized, cannot be completely ignored. It seems that this blistering cadre is much more threatening than imagined.
Originally, I thought that the octopus fish man was the most threatening cadre, but now it seems that this blister fish talent is. However, strength and weakness are relative, and since his attacks from a distance are so strong, it must be that melee combat is a weakness. If possible, you'd better be the first to clean up this fish-man cadre.
Li Le walked out of the dilapidated house, "No problem, I can still win." â
Kyosuke breathed a sigh of relief, why didn't he want this boy to be able to kill those damn fishmen? It was only out of a responsible attitude towards Li Le that Li Le was asked to see this trace of destruction.
"Okay, now that Aaron the Fish-Man has left his lair, there should only be one or two Fish-Man cadres left behind." A villager next to him couldn't wait.
Li Le asked: "When will Ah Long leave, when is he expected to return, and who are the cadres who stayed behind, can you find out?" â
A villager next to him was embarrassed and said, "Usually Ah Long will return that day." He left at 11 o'clock in the afternoon, and his flight is usually less than six hours, and now at two o'clock, he may be back soon. As for the fish-man cadres left behind, we won't know unless Nami comes out. â
Kyosuke bowed his head for a long time and said, "Okay, I'll go to the Dragon House to find Nami, and then I can find out who the fish-man cadres are left." â
The two villagers next to him were anxious, "Ah Jian, do you want to die?" Approaching the Fish-Man's House is likely to be killed for no apparent reason. â
Kyosuke shook his head, "It's worth the risk, I'm a village chief after all, those brutes know my face, and they won't be killed casually." â
Everyone looked at his scarred face and felt that there was indeed some truth.
Seeing their tragic expressions, Li Le smiled and said, "Are you making a mistake?" Did I say that I had to know who the left-behind cadres were? â
Jian Zhu looked at Li Le in amazement, "What?" â
Li Le smiled: "You just show me the direction, and then you just treat it as if I haven't been here." Wait for news with peace of mind. â
Kensuke shook his head repeatedly, "Don't do this, if you don't want me to go, then wouldn't it be better for you to stay here for a while, and wait for Nami to come back and cooperate with you in gathering information and looking for better opportunities?" â
Li Le retracted his smile and said lightly: "You don't need to understand my thoughts, you just need to tell me which direction Ah Long's lair is." â
The villager next to him pulled the key to help, "It's just to the west of the island, it's faster to go by boat." â
Li Le shook his head and left.
If the strength is insufficient, it is natural to adopt a strategy. However, if the strength is sufficient, and you have to rely too much on strategy, or even lose the heart of bravery, it is not the right choice.
Also, the thought of that huge manatee makes me hungry, how can I endure it!
âĻâĻâĻâĻ
Sure enough, it's quite easy to find.
Li Le approached the House of the Evil Dragon from the water.
There were two ordinary fish-men on the dock, Li Le quietly approached from the water, stretched out his translucent hair to wrap around the ankles of a fish-man, and pulled him down into the sea.
Unlike humans, the fish-people go to the sea without panic, but that's the end of it. A translucent curtain of water covered him and quickly disappeared into the water.
"Well, another fish-man has come over to see the situation." Li Le turned his head to look at the wooden dock, where a fat fishman was looking underwater.
"Let's come down together." A strand of hair protruded from the water behind the fishman and pushed him out to the surface.
âĻâĻ
Devouring the two fishmen, Li Le silently studied the data of the fishmen.
"It's amazing, it really contains the physical characteristics of a sawtooth fish." Li Le was surprised to find that the body of one of the fish people had a very obvious similarity with the body of a sawtooth fish that he had devoured.
In addition to its fine teeth, the most recognizable feature of the serrated fish is that its throat has a special cartilage that assists in feeding, which can spontaneously enlarge the throat and help food enter the stomach. And this fish-man not only has a body pattern, cheeks, and fins on the outside of his arms that are very similar to those of a piranha, but also has that special cartilage.
But its brain, its nervous system, is very similar to that of humans. He also has the internal organ system that humans have, but with some more organs that are unique to fish.
Li Le, who has read books in the spiritual space for many years, still has a basic understanding of biology. It is precisely because of this knowledge that Li Le was able to successfully complete one biocolonization suit after another.
But now facing the body structure of the fish man, Li Le is puzzled. "Is it possible that this hodgepodge of creatures was naturally generated?"
It's like a creature created by mixing human genes with piranha's genes. With two respiratory organs in the body, two sets of digestive systems, the simple fusion of the nervous system of a fish and the nervous system of a human has created such a strange creature.
Being able to adapt perfectly to two very different ecosystems, terrestrial and seabed, may seem like an advantage, but from a biological point of view, it is simply the biggest disadvantage.
What do you need human lungs to do with creatures that live on the bottom of the ocean all year round? If you choose to live on land, what do you want to do with your cheeks?
If you live in a diving tidal flat, it is understandable. But the area where the fish-people live is the deep sea! What happens if you throw a frog into the deep ocean? Or what if you throw it in a dry environment?
This is definitely not a body structure that can be evolved by naturally born creatures. A fish-man is a creature created by a person or something.
Li Le was amazed, what a great power this was, he was able to create a race. It's unimaginable how much knowledge and technology it takes to perform such a miracle.
However, Li Le sneered. This great being was definitely not created for good intentions. If there are few species of fishmen, it is good if the number of people is large. But now it seems that there are many types of fish-people, but the number of each type of fish-people is not large.
That's deadly. Can these fish-people reproduce stably?
Different species of fish-people may be able to mate, but they will never produce healthy offspring. Even for fish-people of the same species, mating and reproducing is a disaster.
Suppose that the sex chromosomes of human males are XY, females are XX, and two each of XX and XY after the exchange of chromosomes, so the male-to-female ratio is stable at 1 to 1.
What if you add a fish chromosome, let's say it's Z?
Well, the male fish-man sex chromosome is XYZ and the female is XXZ. The results of the women's three sex-dyed sports men** change combinations are:
X Y Z
X: XX XY XZ
Xīŧ XX XY XZ
Zīŧ XZ YZ ZZ
Among the 9 combinations, there are 4 chromosome combinations that only contain humans, 1 chromosome belonging to fish (ZZ), and only 4 chromosome combinations belonging to fish people.
That is to say, as long as the fish-man gives birth after mating, there is a 5/9 probability that the congenital will not be able to give birth to healthy offspring.
Moreover, the chromosome Z of each type of fish-man is different. It should be Z1, Z2, Z3,...... Therefore, it is difficult for different species of fish people to have healthy offspring.
Of course, this is just a simple speculation made by Li Le with his shallow genetic knowledge, and the reproduction of the fish people may have another mystery. But no matter how you look at it, the fish-people are not a naturally born race. And because of the complex body structure, fish-people are more susceptible to diseases.
That's why the fishman is so strong, because the fishman who is not strong has long since died.
I don't know what kind of malice that great existence has to create the sad race of fishmen.
