"Hydras have a very special habit, and the females of them lay eggs every twenty years. 【Full Text Reading】When laying eggs, because the juvenile hydra is only the size of a palm, its body is extremely fragile and cannot adapt to the harsh environment of the South Marsh, so the pregnant mothers will migrate to the North Marsh to give birth in the months before laying eggs, and then return to the South Marsh. When he walked into the treehouse, Pannis was still explaining to the girls: "As for the eggs of the hydra that were laid, they were buried deep in the bottom of the swamp by the mothers and slept quietly, until three years later, the little hydra broke out of its shell. After birth, the hydra will instinctively forage at the bottom of the mire, their food is the rich microscopic creatures at the bottom of the mire, and after they are full, they will sleep in the depths of the mire until they pass the juvenile stage, which will take about ten years, of course, there will be a large number of unlucky larvae who will not survive the ten years, and have not yet grown up to be eliminated by nature, and have no chance to become adults. Ten years later, the mother who has given birth and the larvae has not died will migrate to the north swamp again, take the larvae that have entered the growth period to the side, and return to the south swamp with the larvae, at this time the larvae can already face most of the creatures and environment in the south swamp, and most of them can successfully become adults. Although we met Jack in the depths of the South Marsh when we met her, she was already spawning by then, so we walked her on a migration trip, so we were familiar with her. ”

"Denya bless, little Hydra sounds pitiful. Lina drew a square on her chest and whispered, "I left my parents since I was a child and faced the sinister world alone, so the luck that I can grow up is good." ”

In fact, the girls in the adventure group, except for Freya, who has the love of her father, everyone else has lost their parents since they were children, and like Hydra, they can only face everything by themselves, and even they are not as good as Hydra, at least the young Hydra knows that his mother will come back to pick him up. But the girls knew that no matter what, their parents would never come back. So, hear about Hydra's upbringing. It's hard for girls not to have a peculiar vibe.

"I don't think you would resonate with juvenile hydras if you knew about their mortality rates. Pannis shrugged his shoulders and said casually, "They're so powerful that nature balances them and doesn't just give them long production cycles." It also makes it harder for them to grow. At the current size of the hydra, it can lay about 50 to 100 eggs in a single spawning cycle, but after ten years, only one or two mothers will come to the North Marsh to pick up their babies, and the rest of the eggs will either not hatch smoothly or die at the hands of the natural environment during the juvenile stage. ”

"Smack", Pannis was explaining, when suddenly a head catapulted from his back. The hydra has a long neck and is very flexible enough to coil its neck in a spiral. Then pop up like a snake and attack enemies at high speed with your own head. Jack also seemed to like this, and knocked Pannith from behind, and the other eight heads made mocking expressions at the same time: "You deserve to speak ill of us, you deserve it." ”

If there's one more headache in the world than meeting one troublemaker, it's eight troublemakers at the same time. Hydra Jack seems to have a grudge against Pennis, and with Alcmene's support, he will always do some helpless pranks on Pannis along the way, and the headbutt attack is just a very simple one. Successfully completed the prank. Fearing Pennys' revenge, Jack was the first to chase after Alcmene and run into the trunk.

Entering the trunk of the tree, the maidens discover that the interior is irregularly shaped, except for the walls. It's no different from a normal human room. The living room has soft chairs and coffee tables for entertaining guests, and there are also beds in the bedrooms, but the lizardmen have harder beds, which is also related to the fact that their bodies are covered with scales.

"Huh?" Catherine looked at the table and chairs in the living room in surprise, "This, isn't this the furniture of the Holy Capital Terec Furniture Store? ”

"Well, they gave it to me back then. "The former high priest of the lizardmen was like an ordinary housewife at this time. Walking out of the kitchen with a tray, the heat wafting from the teacup in the tray: "Let's try the red root vine, a specialty in the swamp, the humidity in the swamp is too great, and it will cause some damage to the human body, but soaking in water with this plant can remove the influence of the hot and humid environment on humans, and the effect is very good." ”

Before Alcmene put down the tray, Pannis grabbed a cup by himself, and he was not afraid of being hot, he drank half a cup in one gulp, and exhaled a breath of heat comfortably: "Alke is a master of herbology, and the things she uses herbs to blend not only work very well, but also pair with some other plants, which makes the taste particularly attractive, I recommend you all try it, it is very good." ”

"You guy, hiss, you're so greedy now. Alcmene gave Pennis a humane look, and then gently kicked the hydra lying at her feet: "Yours in the basin over there, hiss, I know you like to drink, and I'll prepare you more." Hey, you slow down, hiss, don't cry to me if your mouth gets hot, you see, it's hot. And you, Galantis, hiss, you're a hundred years old, not a year old, I know you haven't seen me for two years, but can you spare my tail first, hiss, I remember I didn't have a tail ornament, it's still humanoid. And don't pester you Kyle, oh no, Uncle Pennis, hiss, it's not your time to be ten years old, and if you jump on him again, you'll trample him to death. ”

The scene in front of them is very unexpected by the girls, in the imagination of the girls, when the old friends meet many years later, the atmosphere should be serious with sadness, but I didn't expect to see a chaotic scene, however, this ordinary scene makes the girls feel the warmth of home from the chaos, and only in the relaxed environment of home, people can let go of all external reserve, noisy and chaotic.

"Okay, okay, don't make any more fuss. Seeing that his daughter ignored his own dissuasion at all, and had to climb onto Pannis's lap and chase the resolutely disagreeing Pannis all over the house, Alcmene gritted his teeth and rolled Galantis aside with his tail, and after putting it down, he slapped her ass a few times by the way, and then sat down on the chair opposite Pannis: "Ignore me for more than a hundred years, hiss, little brother, why did you remember to come to see my sister this time?"

"Your daughter has captured me. Pennyston paused, covered his face with his teacup, and said with a fluttering look in his eyes: "And after so many years, I should see you again, otherwise there will be no chance." ”

"Snort. A smile appeared in Alcmene's vertical pupils, and he sneered and said, "If you miss me, you can say that you miss me, but you are still so shy, little brother." "To be continued.
