Chapter 191: A Stable Farming Life Is Over
A day later.
The order that the dragon's nest is gradually forming is running steadily.
This creature, which is composed of a variety of nesting dragons, has moved away from the point where it can be described in terms of its conventional ecological location, just like humans in previous lives.
This is true even if you take out a single nest dragon.
Moreover, because the earth walks regardless of consumption, a large number of "optimal configuration" evolutionary schemes are adopted, even without considering the problem of intelligence, if the nest dragons are placed in a normal environment, each of them is a highly competitive species, and can squeeze out the ecological niche occupied by organisms of the same size - from small to large.
This is true not only of the nest dragons, but also of the meat animals raised by the dragon's nest for food and materials.
Earthwalk's gaze swept over the group of horned horses that had evolved the [dinosaur] label.
In a state of evolution, unable to act, he has nothing to do but think and observe.
In a sense, his situation may be closer to that of Hawking?
But he doesn't have such a rich and deep knowledge reserve, and his thinking is only relatively shallow.
In this way, he looked at the nest dragons who had not yet experienced the battle, and launched a one-sided "killing" towards the horned nose horse.
People may not be familiar with other creatures, but stray cats and dogs are also a cliché.
For carnivores, it is undoubtedly natural to hunt and kill prey, and the stronger the ability to hunt and compete, the more likely it is to survive in the process of natural evolution.
To put it in layman's terms, although good equipment does not mean victory, generally speaking, they will have a higher probability of winning than a species with inferior equipment under the same conditions.
There is an act called "killing" or "killing".
It refers to the behavior of carnivores that kill far more prey than they can eat when they hunt.
This behavioral tendency brings two advantages.
The first is skill training, in the natural environment, the "play" behavior of carnivores when they are young, in fact, is a lot of training and familiarity with hunting skills, and the better you master it, the better.
But this kind of "training", other creatures, often only in the juvenile more frequent, sub-adult, adulthood will basically disappear, after all, hunting also consumes physical strength.
But in the case of creatures represented by the feline family, this "play" extends beyond adulthood.
When they reach adulthood, they will go to hunt their prey even when they are full.
For them, the second benefit is also simple, food resource reserves.
Whether or not these animals hide their prey, the truth is that if they can't get anything else when they're hungry, the food that may have stinked and rotten can be a lifesaver for them.
Although this behavior is devastating for other species, and the slightest fragile ecological environment may not be able to sustain it, it also really increases their survival competitiveness.
Nest dragons are probably such a status for other creatures.
It represents the catastrophe of destruction and destruction.
However, the difference is that there was no good way to maintain ecological balance in the world of the previous life, but there were.
Judging from the evolutionary possibilities that the core is currently exhibiting, he can evolve species corresponding to a wide variety of ecological niches if he wants to.
But...... Even if it evolves, I'm afraid it will be difficult to fight against the nest dragon.
It's like a pterodactyl in a previous life.
As for the reason why pterosaurs became extinct, many people know that the number of small pterosaurs gradually decreased, and the overall size of pterosaurs became larger.
But how did the small pterosaurs get fewer?
Haven't competed for birds?
Indeed, this is also one of the main claims.
But there is another influencing factor, and that is the juvenile specimen of large pterosaurs.
Species with large differences in juvenile and adult size may undergo several changes in prey, food type, and range as they grow.
Manifestatively, a species will occupy several ecological niches.
The closer the species is to it, the more likely it is that its niche tends to coincide.
And because of food reasons, because of the reproductive cycle, etc.
The larger a species is, the more likely it is that its relatives will be eliminated from competition.
It can be said that in the history of paleontology in previous lives, the largeness of a species represents part of the reason why it is about to die, and this is also here.
Of course, there are many complex implications involved, but these are just a few sentences.
Part of the reason why small pterosaurs were eliminated was because of the influence of large pterosaurs as adults.
If one day, the nest dragons of the earth line are released, even if they have no wisdom and no intelligence, and let them grow naturally, their juvenile individuals will be in an advantage over other creatures.
For the ecology of the natural environment, there is no doubt that it is a disaster.
However, this other world, perhaps because of the existence of fantasy power, the ecological environment is unimaginably tough.
If the meaning of "ecological diversity" in the previous world can be described as "casting a wide net", then this world is that living things are super adaptable, and they do not need and cannot maintain much diversity.
In addition to the nesting dragon itself, the creature of the horned nose horse also proves this in fact.
During this expedition and construction, he found that the creature of the horned nose horse could be found in almost every corner of the sea of trees, and it was just a matter of more and less.
And the reason, presumably, is that this animal grows faster and gives birth to a lot?
It's a pity that although this creature can be said to be full of "come and raise me, treat me as food" written on the door of the brain, it is also difficult for the nest dragons who do not count the consumption of burning performance, it is also difficult to maintain the demand, and if they are not given the rapid growth label of evolving regeneration trolls, the earth line may still be sending a large number of nest dragons to hunt.
But now, in addition to rapid regeneration, the energy storage label that the ground has given them evolution has also succeeded.
As expected, they are able to provide more meat for the planet.
As long as there is forage, the growth rate is much faster than that of the white-feathered chickens in the previous life.
You just need to be careful......
These meat animals also inherit the infinite growth characteristics of the regenerative trolls.
In a previous life, a creature like a snake with infinite growth ability would collapse due to its body structure.
But in this world, the earth has evolved so many labels for them, and it's really hard to say what the upper limit of their size is.
It's a pity that he gradually stepped into a life of farming instead of hunting and development instead of conquest, which was soon broken by a piece of news.
"Your Majesty, a large number of humans have entered the sea of trees."
By expanding the core, the low, dignified voice of the Great Lepidoptera's Jura Ruler rang in the ears of the earth.
"Brother Shen!"
"Hmm!"
Shen Changqing walked on the road, and when he met someone he knew well, he would say hello to each other or nod his head.
But it doesn't matter who it is.
There was no superfluous expression on everyone's face, as if they were very indifferent to everything.
on this.
Shen Changqing is used to it.
Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, it is an institution that maintains the stability of Great Qin, and its main responsibility is to kill demons and monsters, and of course there are some other side jobs.
Arguably.
In the Demon Suppression Division, everyone has a lot of blood on their hands.
When a person is accustomed to seeing life and death, then he will become indifferent to many things.
When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but over time he got used to it.
The Demon Suppression Division is huge.
The people who can stay in the Demon Suppression Division are all powerful masters, or people who have the potential to become masters.
Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.
Among them, the Demon Suppression Division is divided into two professions, one is the town guard and the other is the demon exterminator.
Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Division starts with the lowest level of demon slayer.
Then step by step, he is expected to become a town guard.
Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level of the demon slayer envoys.
Have memories of the predecessor.
He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.
It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of an attic.
Unlike other places full of slaughter, the attic here seems to stand out from the crowd, and in the bloody Demon Suppression Division, it presents a different tranquility.
At this time, the attic door is open, and there are occasional people entering and exiting.
Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment, and then stepped in.
Access to the attic.
The environment has changed in vain.
A burst of ink fragrance mixed with the faint smell of blood came to his face, making his brow furrow instinctively, but quickly stretched.
The smell of blood on everyone's body in the Demon Suppression Division is almost impossible to clean.
