63 Genetic variants
In fact, at the beginning, he also wondered if these abilities were growing with his own growth, but he later found out that they were not.
Because over the years, his size has grown from the initial three meters to seven meters.
But his own ability, which originally belonged to the king cobra, never appeared and grew with his body.
Also, these abilities are essentially related to the genes he knew in his previous life, so let's treat them as genes for now.
But it shouldn't be exactly genes, he vaguely remembered a little knowledge from his previous life: the human body has about 2 to 30,000 genes, and these genes are collectively called a genome, the human genome.
If these abilities were really completely genetic, then there would not have been only a few abilities on the human ability template, but tens of thousands.
But it is worth affirming that it should have something to do with genes to a greater or lesser extent, so here Shirakawa will treat it as a gene.
Is it possible for the genes of this organism to grow as the host grows?
Shirakawa only thought about it for a moment, and then decisively vetoed it.
How is this possible!
How can these represent the ability of genes to grow and change so simply.
If there is growth, then there is only one situation!
That is, in the genes in his body, the stored information has a better expression structure.
Only then will there be an increase in capacity. So why did he naturally give birth to some new abilities now?
So what do they have in common?
Shirakawa pondered it and found that two of these three were born shortly after he had evolved.
Only the scale LV2 was because his size had increased dramatically, causing his scales to not keep up with his size, and it naturally appeared after half a year.
He vaguely remembered another little knowledge he had read in his previous life: genes can mutate by chance, and most of the factors that affect gene mutation are environmental changes and internal cell division.
It is not difficult to understand the division of cells, which must occur in large quantities every time he evolves.
Then the emergence of agile LV1 and the emergence of tough tail LV1 today. Is it possible that because he has too much ability to evolve, he has too much information in his body, so that he has more or less absorbed some of the characteristics of the original owner of the gene in this evolution?
It's no wonder that he thinks so, but the tough-tailed LV1 ability that appeared this time is too obvious, that is, the ability from the caiman ability model, and what he strengthened this time is the ability of the caiman.
And among the abilities he had strengthened before, Shirakawa thought about it, and it seemed that there was no ability model for this ability.
In other words, this possibility is extremely high.
As for the other variant, environmental factors that affect genetic variation include external radiation stimuli, temperature factors, and chemical stimuli.
And during the time period when his scales LV2 appeared, he just had the radiation stimulation in the external factors that caused the genetic mutation.
In that half a year, in order to accumulate points quickly, he was in a very rich food situation day and night, and every night before resting, he had to open the crazy digestion that came with the panel.
And because its own absorption capacity was not strong enough at that time. In fact, although some of those energies were absorbed and converted into points by the panel, there was actually a large part of it that kept escaping from his body.
This non-stop escape energy is precisely what gave birth to his scale LV2, providing a high-energy environmental stimulus.
Thinking about it this way, Shirakawa felt more and more that it was very likely.
Yes or no, he'll know when he's a chance to experiment later.
At least now there is a direction.
Now that a doubt at the beginning has been solved to some extent, Rao is Shirakawa also feels refreshed.
He gently shook the tip of the tail that stood in front of him, and the next moment he looked at the big tree not far away, and an idea suddenly popped into his heart.
"Smack!"
The wind whistled, and a whip-like black shadow swept by, smashing the trunk of the tree, and the shaking tree "swooped" and fell countless branches and leaves.
At the same time, a slight stump appeared on the trunk of the tree.
Seeing this, of course Shirakawa was very dissatisfied, this power was still too weak.
It seems that he is still thinking too much, and a mere tough tail LV1 can make his tail of such a huge size flexible, which is actually quite remarkable.
But if you want him to be able to use it as a means of attack now, it will be far from enough, not to mention that the speed is too slow, and the impact power alone is estimated to not hurt the target, so it can only be said that it can barely be used.
Shirakawa smacked his lips with some pity.
Fortunately, it was a prostitute for nothing, and he was not disappointed.
After experimenting with his new body, he headed straight for the woods. As he crawled meter by meter, his body slowly disappeared from the air again.
And compared to the performance that there were still obvious traces in the past, his stealth is now more hidden.
Now that the injury is healed, he is afraid that he will have to eat a full meal.
Otherwise, I'm sorry for his misery during this time.
……
After eating and drinking, Shirakawa didn't go back to the cave, and plunged directly into the river and went in the direction of the current.
He's had had enough time now due to various factors, and it's time for him to leave.
All the way down the river, only six days passed, and Shirakawa no longer knew where he had drifted to.
But he has a feeling, I'm afraid that he is not going in the wrong direction? Because......
What greeted him was no longer a bottomless river that could completely hide itself, but a dense forest swamp that could not be seen as far as the eye could see.
The dim environment is like a thick fog that can never be dispersed, and with the tall and towering trees, the sky is not visible at a glance.
The ground was wet and muddy, with occasional puddles of water.
All kinds of insect poisons pass by.
Obviously, this is an eerie muddy swamp in the woods.
The river he was in was running through the dense forest, and although the water was shallow enough to hide his massive snake body in some places, the river was still there.
At this moment, he was a monster like a snake and a dragon at the junction of the two, standing quietly and watching.
For a while, he didn't know what to say, so he could only silently raise his head and look at the sky speechlessly.
He may also need to evolve an ability to distinguish distance from place, such as "magnetic field sensing"?
Unfortunately, he only knows about sharks and pigeons, and he has not encountered pigeons so far. And what about sharks? It's in the sea......
This encounter temporarily reminded Shirakawa of a joke from his previous life, and if this joke was placed here, it would be:
I need to go to the sea, but I don't know the way.
Then go get the shark's ability!
But the shark is in the sea, and I don't know how to get to the sea.
That went to get the shark's ......
