Chapter 43: After the fight, I can't finish the work
How is it possible that there is no reproductive isolation between species? Why are greenskins able to impregnate other races? Why do women conceived by them only give birth to male green-skinned ghosts? Why are they still all oviparous? Why do greenskins have to stay in the depths of the border forest when they could be looking for a safer place to live?
When these questions were put together in Shelley's mind, they all pointed in one direction. That is the creature of the green-skinned ghost, which should have been male and female a long time ago, and could reproduce on its own, and it must have been viviparous and lactated.
But because of something, it can give the greenskins the ability to impregnate other races, and it is viviparous to oviparous. As a result, their reproduction rate has increased dramatically.
On the one hand, a litter can only give birth to one or two offspring, and on the other hand, it can give birth to hundreds of offspring at one time, such a speed gap makes such a primitive social structure of the race naturally choose the latter.
But they themselves did not realize that that thing had a huge flaw, that is, it could only give birth to males. After a long time, the female green-skinned ghost disappeared completely, so the green-skinned ghost race entered functional extinction, that is, the so-called inability to reproduce on its own.
In this way, the greenskins can only continue the race through this thing.
And based on the fact that they come out to kidnap people at a fixed time every year, Shelley judged that the effect of that thing should be temporary, after which the greenskins would not be able to conceive even if they robbed more human women.
Although before, these were all speculations by Shelley, but just now, she also got verification from the mouth of the other leader.
“…… What do you think? I don't know if I'm right? ”
Shelley unreservedly told his inference, and the other party looked completely ghostly at this time. Not to mention it, even Owen and Nika around him looked incredible.
Who would have thought that such a shocking fact could be deduced from just that little bit of information? What kind of wisdom does it take to do this?
"You...... Who the hell are you!? ”
"Hmph, I'm just passing through here...... Ah......h I didn't just say it, I'm Shelley Lean. She is the first country in the human world and the third princess of the Li'an Kingdom. I am here today to completely make your race disappear from this world! ”
Make your own clan disappear? The leader ghost was stunned for a moment, and then his face changed greatly.
"You actually did something to the Divine Flower Seed!"
"Oh, you're smart enough to realize what I'm doing?"
Shelley had let Onefang go to their lair before he came, so even if it knew now, it would be too late.
"Damn! Kill! Kill this woman! ”
With the roar of the leader ghost, thousands of green-skinned ghosts pressed down on them. However, before they could take two steps, all the greenskins were horrified to find that the ground suddenly began to soften, and they actually began to sink into the ground.
Some of them fell and fell under the ground, no matter how much they struggled, they only fell deeper and deeper, and finally they never got up again.
"No, it's a trap! Evacuate! ”
However, the leader ghost was still too late to realize, and all the greenskins except for the ground under Shelley's feet had been trapped by a piece of soft ground.
That wasn't enough to make them despair, what really pained them was that the softened ground suddenly began to heat up, but only to a temperature they couldn't bear.
For a while, wailing was all over the field, and all the green-skinned ghosts were wrinkled by the hot skin and flesh of the hot ground. There was a foul smell in the air. The crowd on the city wall who saw this scene was also stunned.
"Is this also the power of filth? What exactly did they do? ”
The leader of the ghost wanted to ask this question, but at this time, it had already been crying wolf by the hot ghost, and it couldn't speak in pain, just staring at Shelley with a pair of eyes.
Shelley's face always maintained a confident smile: "Why are you looking at me like that?" Do you think I'm going to rush in and save people if I'm not prepared? ”
As early as when she had Nika rush in, she had Vader and Masked ready from the periphery. The ground is soft because of the dough, and his ability is as soft as his name suggests, making anything non-living as soft as dough.
It takes some time to soften such a large area of the ground, which is why Shelley deliberately stalls in front of the greenskins.
As for the temperature of the ground getting higher, it is naturally because of Vida. The combination of two seemingly unremarkable abilities made the greenskins experience what despair is.
"Originally, you were just to blame, but then you let other races take the blame for you. You don't do this world any good, go to hell. ”
As soon as the words fell, the ground became softer and the temperature became warmer, and when the last green-skinned ghost was completely submerged in the ground, Vader and the dough in the distance took away their abilities at the same time.
The temperature also returned to normal levels in an instant under Vader's control, and the ground was no longer soft, and calm returned, as if those green-skinned ghosts had not appeared since the beginning.
Shelley witnessed this scene throughout, and his face did not have the slightest wave, as if he had disposed of a pile of garbage. However, even Vader and Dough didn't realize that they were capable of doing it to such an extent. The people on the city walls were even more stunned.
"Ahahahaha!! Even reinforcements are not needed. The soldier laughed, "Let's go, hurry up and get those filths back!" ”
Seeing that the green-skinned ghosts were all destroyed, his courage suddenly increased, and he rushed out of the city gate with a team of men and horses on the spot.
Shelley noticed that someone came out of it, and wanted to hand over these women to them, but he didn't think that these people hadn't arrived yet, and Owen, Nika, and Vader, who had just converged, and Scarlet Moon suddenly collapsed to the ground collectively, with a painful look on his face, but he couldn't say a word.
Shelley naturally knew what was going on at this scene, so his face turned cold on the spot.
"Huh? It turns out that there is a master. The soldier commander held the sacred stone in his hand, and when he saw another one standing there, he realized that this beautiful woman was the master of these filth.
"I am the lord of Wule Town, and I have come up to rescue you when you are in difficulty, but this act of yours makes me very displeased, and I order you to immediately withdraw the power of the holy stone."
As soon as he heard that it was the lord of Wule Town, he smiled on the spot and said: "Who should I be, this is Her Royal Highness the Third Princess, I am the captain of the soldiers of this Standing Stone Town, and I am also the new lord Chesef who is about to take office, and the old lord is my father." I didn't expect Her Royal Highness the princess to come in person, and I was disrespectful and disrespectful. ”
It was disrespectful, but Chesef had no intention of getting off the horse, nor did he withdraw the power of the holy stone. Even his eyes were full of banter.
Seeing that the other party didn't react, Shelley's tone was already obviously angry: "I don't care who you are, I just said it, I ordered you to take away the power of the holy stone!" ”
Chesef stroked his forehead exaggeratedly, and said with a helpless expression: "Your Royal Highness Princess, don't you know, our place is often harassed by alien races and demonic beasts, and the few filths raised by my family are really unsightly, and this time too, if it weren't for your action, I really don't know what to do." So I thought, why don't you put Wule Town back into the protection of our town, how about you give me these filth? ”
