Chapter 574: The Problem of Reproduction
The vast and endless mountains are like a black dragon lying horizontally, stretching from east to west, and there is no end or beginning in sight.
On a raised mountain peak, Gu Chen and Lao Niu stood quietly, and the two looked at the endless black wood mountain forest in front of them, speechless for a long time.
The mountain wind blew, blowing Gu Chen's head, making the blood-colored cloak on his body grin, and the cloak on the old cow standing beside Gu Chen was slowly swinging, making it even heavier.
"Right in front of you is the territory of the Hunters. The old cow urn said, "I don't know how long this huge territory has been occupied by the hunters, and they have never changed places for thousands of years. ”
Gu Chen knew what Lao Niu meant, he didn't want to affirm that the territory of the hunter clan was in front of him, but wanted to say that here, the hunter clan was more familiar than them.
Gu Chen slowly twisted his fingers, "The races of the underworld, Xiang Lai has the continuity of inheritance, once the clan is determined, unless it has suffered some major changes, otherwise it will not change, this place is far away from the outside world, and the hunter race is not a vegetarian race, it is indeed not a simple thing to want them to encounter major changes." ”
"Yes, as you said, this is actually the hunting ground of the hunter clan, forget it, don't talk about this, you take a look, since we have come here, how do we continue next?"
Gu Chen was silent, and continued to slowly twist his fingers.
After this period of getting along, Lao Niu knew that Gu Chen was thinking at this time, so he didn't bother.
Time passed little by little, suddenly, Gu Chen said, "Flying directly through the air is the fastest, but it is also the most dangerous choice, there is no cover in the air, if we want to cross from above, it is actively exposed, once the hunter clan is lured, then it is not a simple matter of a few people, it may be dozens, it may also be hundreds." ”
"The idea of straddle from above doesn't even have to be thought of. Lao Niu said, "When I crossed the land of the Hunter Clan, I thought that it would be safe according to the terrain, but it was still discovered, if we passed from above, we would not have been able to fly for half a day, and it was estimated that all the Hunter Clan would know." ”
Gu Chen nodded, "In fact, there is no good way, we only have two ways now, one is from the sky, but it is basically impossible, this choice is no different from looking for death, and the other is to pass through the mountains and forests below, although the speed will be much slower, but it is also our most secure choice at present." ”
"Let's go through the mountains and forests. The old cow sighed and said, "Alas, if it weren't for the decline of our barbarian bull clan, ten barbarian bulls together, crossing the hunter clan, they wouldn't even dare to let out a fart, but the tiger fell in Pingyang and was bullied by dogs, which really makes people's hearts feel bad." ”
Lao Niu is the only bloodline of the strongest clan in the underworld, that kind of loneliness and loneliness in his heart, although Gu Chen can't really understand it, but he can also understand that as a barbarian bull clan, he was originally not afraid of heaven and earth, and he wouldn't even put the hunter clan in his eyes, but now he has to face the hunt of the hunter clan, and that kind of contrast and desolation is probably only something he can experience in his own heart.
Seeing that Lao Niu's expression was a little depressed, Gu Chen couldn't help but pat him on the shoulder, "To be honest, Lao Niu, I'm still really a little curious, your Barbarian Bull Clan is obviously the most powerful race in the underworld, and you never participate in the battles of the outside world, but why are you the only one left now?"
Suddenly asked this question by Gu Chen, a heavy touch appeared on Lao Niu's face, but his eyes looking at Gu Chen also had a hint of suspicion; "Old Gu, don't you know?"
Gu Chen couldn't help but be stunned: "What do you know?
"No, I mean, don't you know that the more racially powerful a group is, the more difficult it is to reproduce?"
Gu Chen's eyes widened in surprise; "There is such a thing?"
"Of course there is, the strong races in the underworld are like this, although our barbarian bull clan is the strongest race in the underworld, but we have not found a solution to the problem of racial reproduction, in our barbarian bull clan, do you know what the treatment is if a clansman is pregnant? That is the general treatment of the patriarch, but after all, racial reproduction is too difficult, among the ten pairs of partners of our barbarian bull clan, if there is a pair of offspring, it is a great chance. ”
Hearing this, Gu Chen couldn't help but be stunned for a while, and he muttered, "I didn't expect that there would be such a thing, but how could the Yaksha and Rakshasa clans be so prosperous?"
"Good life. Lao Niu smiled bitterly, "In fact, the Yaksha and Rakshasa tribes also had the problem of reproduction, but later, they found a solution, but this method can only adapt to their respective groups, we have actually been in contact with them a long time ago, their methods are not applicable to us, you also know, once the fresh blood can not be replenished, the race will naturally decline, in fact, the same is true of the hunter race, otherwise, according to their temperament, once they find a way to reproduce, they will have already become the first strong race to replace us." ”
Gu Chen nodded slowly, if it weren't for Lao Niu's explanation, he really didn't know about this kind of reproduction problem.
"Actually, you are the same. The old cow took advantage of the situation and said.
What the?
Gu Chen was stunned for a moment, and his eyes widened suddenly; "I'm the same with anything." ”
Lao Niu looked innocent, "Reproduction, aren't we talking about this problem? I said, if you want to reproduce, it is also very difficult, because your strength is already very strong, so it is also difficult for your offspring to reproduce." ”
What the?
Gu Chen's eyes widened, he looked at Lao Niu in a daze, and couldn't help but say, "What nonsense are you talking about, I, I'm not your race in the underworld, besides, I'm in good health, how can there be a problem of reproduction?"
"You, do you really don't know or fake don't know, this has nothing to do with the body, after your strength reaches a certain level, reproduction is natural but a problem, this is a very common sense problem, why don't you even know this?"
Common sense?
Gu Chen was in a daze for a while, he rubbed his cheeks fiercely, and said, "Erniu, what Lao Niu said is true?"
"Uh...... Pretty much. ”
Gu Chen's eyebrows furrowed, "What do you mean almost?"
"Well, that's exactly what happened. Erniu said, "Although we are not a race in the underworld, but in our cultivation world, the same is true, once the cultivation reaches the realm of the gods, it will be difficult to reproduce, but it is not absolute, if you find twenty or thirty wives, maybe you can get pregnant, but you must find ordinary people, because the probability will be greater, if you find a cultivator, then ...... It's really hard. ”
After hearing Erniu's words, Gu Chen seemed to have been struck by lightning, and he was in a daze, and it took a while before he came back to his senses; "Why did you only tell me about this now." ”
"This, this is common sense, I, I thought you knew, you, are you okay?"
"What do you say, I thought that the bloodline of our ancient family could be passed on forever, but now you suddenly tell me that it is difficult for me to reproduce, do you think I have anything to do?"
"It's just hard. Erniu soothed, "It's not that you can't reproduce, and besides, isn't your father just the Transformation God Realm, didn't he give birth to you the same?"
Gu Chen nodded slowly, "I finally understand." ”
"Understand what?"
"Back then, our Gu family was a big family in the town, but my father had no plans to continue to have children after having me, it seems that he didn't plan to have children, but he knew that I was already an exception, and it was basically impossible to have another child. ”
"Maybe, but what's the point of thinking about this now, don't forget your mission, now you better focus on how to get through the present, as for the matter of reproduction, don't worry, I will help you." ”
"What?"
"No, no, don't get me wrong, I'm talking about alchemy, if it's possible, I'll refine the pill to help you, in fact, I was entrusted by someone in my previous life and started researching, but I don't have a clue yet, don't worry, after you finish these things, we have time." ”
Got time?
Perhaps!
However, just as Er Niu said, he thinks about these meaningless things now, reproduction, that is a matter of the future, in the future, if he does not relieve the danger of the human world, then he would rather not reproduce, because he does not want his bloodline to live in the threat of the underworld.
Thinking of this, Gu Chen's eyes lit up, and he looked at the vast desert mountains and forests in front of him again, and said, "Let's go, old Niu, since it's been decided, let's break through." ”
After saying this, Gu Chen jumped into the mountains and forests below, and Lao Niu frowned for a while; "He looked like he was talking to someone just now, could it be that there is still a person living in his body?"
After thinking for a while, the old cow finally shook his head, and then plunged into the mountain forest below.
......
In the dense mountain forest, the miasma is permeated, and a faint bitter taste fills the air, which is obviously poisonous, but the poison of this miasma can no longer threaten Gu Chen and Lao Niu.
It's just that in the miasma, there are many poisonous insects and beasts, although Gu Chen and Lao Niu are cautious, they will be attacked by these things from time to time.
In the canopy, a foot-long black snake fell, opened its mouth, and went straight to Gu Chen's neck, Gu Chen didn't look at it, and grabbed its head before the black snake landed on him, and then his fist trembled slightly, and a slight Dao power swept away, directly turning it into powder.
In this huge mountain forest, no one is sure if there is a hunter lurking somewhere, so he can't kill it directly, to avoid emitting a bloody smell, and he can't let his corpse be found.
