Chapter 375: Growth Hormone

In the Haiyuan Royal City, the Muhai Throne, which was like a throne and like a mussel shell, was empty at this moment.

Ever since the disappearance of Bambergis, the Shepherd of the Abyss, this Abyss King City has suffered from chaos again and again.

The great chaos did not come from the whale knights gathered around the Abyss Royal City, but from the "princesses" between the thrones, from the sea princesses.

One of the daughters of the sea princess caused the first riot-

She, became, he.

And among the Muhai royal family, this means that the Haiyuan Shepherd King Jisi is dead.

Only when the Haiyuan Shepherd King Jisi is dead, will there be a change of gender and a rapid growth and development of the Shepherd Sea King Maiden.

.......

The Earth Walk was not interested in the change of power in the Abyss Royal City.

Compared to Haiyuan Royal City, he was more interested in the changes in the body structure of the Muhai Royal Clan.

The earth line has completely affirmed the racial system of the sea tribe of the Deep Sea Empire.

Not arthropods, but mollusks.

Mollusks are also quite existential groups.

Various snails such as snails and snails are often seen in gastropods, various shellfish such as oysters and scallops in bivalves, various squid octopuses in cephalopods, and so on.

From the top-level Muhai royal family, the second-level Muhai Lord, and then the third-level Muhai Guard, they can all be sure to be of the same origin.

The herdsmen and the herdsmen seem to have some arthropod feelings, but in essence, they can only be said to have evolved their shells into a body similar to that of arthropod carapaces.

In the structure of various organs, the residual structure of mollusks can be clearly seen.

From the point of view of appearance, it is easy to be reminiscent of shrimp and crabs, but according to the various samples found so far, the growth and development of this group of Muhai Guards is indeed closer to ......

Both Android and Apple are available. 】

Barnacle.

Barnacles, this sessile parasitic animal, can easily be mistaken for a mollusk such as some kind of shellfish, but in fact all belong to the branch of arthropods, both of which are members of crustaceans.

However, if I have to say, a large part of the herding sea guards among the sea tribe should have undergone some kind of specialized development in the stage of being "hook larvae".

The hook larvae are the most prominent juvenile forms of the mollusks, which are bivalves, that is, shellfish.

And its growth and development mode is parasitism.

The body outline of the hook larvae can be regarded as a scaled shell in equal proportions, and the whole is a bit like the pincers of shrimp and crabs, relying on the shells on both sides and the strong adductor muscles inside, it can hardly hook the gills and fins of the fish or other parts of the fish, and obtain food with the help of water currents.

According to the observation of the local line, the main purpose of the juveniles of these sea herding guardians is probably to absorb the water element, eat other blood food, and be able to rely on the large sea whale to obtain protection.

Although not particularly obvious, there are several relatively well-defined stages of development.

Speaking of their partner, the sea whale, although it is called "whale", looks a bit like a humpback whale, but it is actually not related to mammals, and is essentially a pure aquatic animal that is closer to a basking shark.

According to information gathered from various blood nesters, the Sea Guardians have been associated with sea whales for almost their entire lives.

From childhood, like barnacles and various sessile parasitic shellfish, a large number of whales are attached to the body surface of the sea whale.

When I was a teenager, I gathered on the body of a sea whale.

In the "youth" period, the body size gradually reached about six meters, and gradually became one-on-one with the sea whale.

Many herding sea guard races are also very consistent with the characteristics of mollusks, they are "hermaphroditic", and they can breed with any herding sea guard.

Although the hermaphroditic mode of reproduction is quite primitive, there is no doubt that it is a relatively useful reproductive strategy.

In addition, depending on the different types of spells they possess and the state related to their development, the Guardians of the Sea will affect the arrival of their breeding period according to the food resources and the concentration of water elements in the surrounding area.

In this regard, there has been a significant change in the order of the herding sea lord and the herding sea royal family.

Hermaphroditic reproduction strategy is a hermaphroditic reproduction strategy, and the water element concentration required by herpherds is the lowest.

In addition to the fertility pattern of a large number of offspring, there is nothing special about it, there will still be water elements and food needs, and the concentration of water elements in demand is higher than that of the herding sea guards.

From the Muhai Guardian to the Muhai Lord, the number of descendants bred has obviously decreased a lot, but it can still be said to be "a lot".

But when it comes to the Muhai royal family, it can be said that it is the K strategy of "eugenics", rather than the R strategy of the first two large-scale breeding and rapid growth.

The size of the Muhai Royal Clan can grow to a very large size, and the hundred-meter-long "Sea Abyss Shepherd" that he returned from hunting this time can explain.

Moreover, the Muhai royal family also has a single-sex differentiation, but unlike the Muhai Lord, they have a greater influence because of the possession of water element resources.

The difference in size between males and females, only counting body length, is a regular difference of 50 meters and 20 meters.

But in a way, the relationship between them is not just between males and females.

Small Lepidopterals and large nest dragons.

Dragons and large nest dragons.

In a sense, it can be said that these "females" are somewhat close to "worker bees" or "worker ants".

This was all the more certain after Dixing discovered a strange hormone from them.

Somatotropin.

Growth hormone is all too familiar.

Promotes growth of bones, internal organs, and the whole body. It promotes protein synthesis, affects fat and mineral metabolism, and plays a key role in human growth and development.

Many organisms actually have the potential for lifelong growth, but because of the relationship between food resources and body structure and mobility, the benefits gradually decrease after a certain body size.

But......

The males of this group of Muhai royal clans will be supported by other females of the Muhai royal clan, and they will be supported by some kind of growth hormone secreted by themselves, so that they can continue to grow and grow in size.

From a genetic point of view, the physique of more than 20 meters is actually the final body shape of these Muhai royal families.

However, by constantly allowing the females of the Muhai Royal Clan to provide growth hormone to the males, these male Muhai Royal Clans can continue to grow and continue to expand their physique and strength.

It is precisely this point that makes the earth line judge that the relationship between these Muhai royal families is somewhat of a taste of worker bees and worker ants.

However, what is more peculiar is probably the "sea whale" itself.

According to the exploratory research of the local line, it seems to be ....... The ability of females to support males, and the ability of females of the largest individuals to become males is also available to the whales themselves.

Even....... It is likely to be derived from the sea whale.

ps: It's the New Year....... No. 1 may probably be able to resume the update.,But no matter how you write it.,I still feel like I can't concentrate.,It's going to be fatal.,If you really can't do it.,You can only speed up the plot.。

If it really doesn't work, I guess I will have to say goodbye to writing books in the end, and it is really aggrieved to fall in this way.

If you don't have a way, you can probably only follow the business routine writing mode, and if you use it a little, you will feel a bit repetitive in writing books.
