Chapter 46: Get to the bottom of it
If Yune ran this way, Panda and Liu Daoqing naturally couldn't live in Qingshui Town anymore. *With* Dream *Small* Say .lā
They can't sleep peacefully in the inn by themselves, and sit back and watch their friends sleep outside!
Although Yunero repeatedly emphasized in her private chat that she liked to live in the wild and didn't mind sleeping in the open at all, they were not fools, so how could they not understand what Yunero was thinking - if Yune was afraid to return to Qingshui Town, she would be surrounded by a large group of female lizardmen of all ages, from fifty-five years old to ten years old.
The lizardfolk are a species of people that have a very long reproductive age, starting to be fertile from around the age of ten and then losing their fertility until roughly the end of their lives. Generally speaking, lizardmen will begin to age significantly after living to fifty-five or sixteen, so in general, female lizardmen at this age will have no desires and no interest in "beautiful men who are rare to see in five thousand years".
Although they have a long reproductive age, the lizardfolk are not very good at reproduction. Like many animals, they have the concept of "mating period", and adult lizardmen generally have a mating period of about one month in a year. If you can't find a match within this time, then this year's fertility work will be over, and we will talk about it next year.
Even if a suitable object is found, the lizardmen's breeding success rate is a bit of a problem. The chance of a woman getting pregnant is only about one-third, and she has three to four eggs in a litter, but only one of them can hatch smoothly...... There are many more problems of all kinds. In general, a healthy and stable lizardman couple can successfully have an offspring every four to five years on average.
This reproductive efficiency is really low, although the lizardmen race is relatively strong, but it is affected by the low reproductive efficiency, so the size of the lizardfolk population has not been large.
Of course, on the other hand, it is also limited by the environment.
Lizardfolk prefer warm and humid environments and have an aversion to cold and dryness. In the entire Western Continent, except for the two large countries of Molai and Trella, as well as a number of small countries in the east and south, there are almost no lizardmen living in other countries. Even in these places, there aren't many lizardfolk in number. In contrast, on the contrary, there are many lizardmen in the Southern Islands, and they are almost one of the important races in the archipelago.
This time, a large number of female lizardmen in Qingshui Town suddenly went berserk, in fact, there was really a reason - Yunero once took a bath when he was about to sleep in the hotel, because the water resources in Qingshui Town are very rich, so he jumped directly into the stream next to the guest room, and washed happily in the flowing stream paved with stone slabs for a while.
Outcome...... The water in which he had bathed flowed out, but all the female lizardmen who touched it showed signs of mating period.
What's even more terrifying is that they instinctively feel where the water that changes them is coming from......
These things were naturally not something that Yunero could know, but Panda and Liu Daoqing heard about it. Because they have a good relationship with Yunero, the people of Clearwater Town are also very friendly and welcoming, and they heard about it from the mouth of a magician in the town (who is a fish-man).
The magician and the other scholars in the town were puzzled by what had happened that afternoon, so they kept investigating. They were very efficient, and they got accurate results when it was just dark.
This result made everyone laugh and cry, but the magician quietly reminded Liu Daoqing that this was a rare opportunity and should be put to good use.
"Use, how to use?" After the meeting, listening to Liu Daoqing relay the magician's words, Yunero blinked his eyes and his face was dazed.
Liu Daoqing looked at the panda.
Panda shook his head: "You can ask me about the fight, but I'm really a layman in this kind of thing, you might as well go to Wang Tuhao or Sanyu and ask." ”
Liu Daoqing nodded: "I'll ask Wang Tuhao, if you go and ask Sanyu, how about it?"
"No problem. ”
“...... Then I'll ask Kazune, maybe he knows something special. ”
The three of them closed their eyes and used their private chat channels to connect with distant friends.
After a long time, they opened their eyes and looked at each other.
"Wang Tuhao's advice to me is that I should do some experiments to determine if Yune really has the charisma of an emperor superstar in the lizardmen, and if he can really get the female lizardmen to enter the mating period directly. Liu Daoqing said, "Everything can only be discussed after the results of this experiment come out." ”
Yunero sighed: "Sanyu's advice to me is to leave the Southern Islands and don't come here in the future." More is better than less, and it is better to live in peace than anything else. ”
Panda smiled: "Then it seems that the information I got here is the most important - Harmony recalled for a long time, and finally said that theoretically, the bloodline of the dragon can indeed enhance the reproductive ability of all dragon creatures. Therefore, the blood of Yunero or Seed Lady should be able to help the lizardmen reproduce. But why is the bath water so strong? He suggested that if we had the conditions, we might as well find some monster lizardmen that could be refreshed in the wild and use them for experiments. ”
The security conditions in this world are not good, and there are many bandits in the wilderness. There are naturally all races among the bandits, and of course there are also lizardmen.
The pandas were in good spirits, but they were not sleepy, and they searched around overnight.
It is probably because the traversers who settled on Pearl Island often do this kind of field sweeping work, and there should be many bandits in ordinary places, but it is not common here. They searched for hours before they found a small group of bandits.
Luckily, there were three lizardmen in that group of bandits.
They were found by pandas, and he knocked the three lizardmen to the ground with his bare hands, tied them into three large rice dumplings with ropes, and chatted privately with his friends who were going out separately to find the bandits.
As it was getting dark, they gathered in this small bandit camp.
"What are you doing with three men?" Yuneruo asked, after only one glance, "I should arrest women." ”
The panda looked at the three lizardmen carefully, and there was really no way to tell if they were male or female—lizardmen, unlike humans, had no significant secondary sex characteristics...... In fact, they don't even know their primary sex characteristics, and unless they take off their clothes and look closely, only "their own family" like Yunero can recognize their gender.
"Men are useless?" he asked.
"Of course men are useless!"
The panda sighed, drew his sword, and was about to give the three lizardmen robbers a hard time, but Liu Daoqing stopped him.
"Man...... It's not necessarily useless. Liu Daoqing's beard curled up, and he smiled cheaply, "If I'm not mistaken, the male lizardman...... There's also a mating period concept, right?"
Looking at his smile, Yunero shuddered.
