[In the fifth month, you can hunt alone]

"Platypus is a nocturnal creature!"

Recalling his previous behavior of crawling out in broad daylight, Zhao Meng sighed at something while snorting the earthworm by the river.

It wasn't until the sky was bright and the morning dawn came that he burrowed back into his cave.

[In the sixth month, you develop a stinger]

"Stinger!"

Zhao Meng turned his head to look at his crotch, and sure enough, he found a hardened stinger.

"The platypus even has a stinger!"

He stroked it and exclaimed:

"What a strange structure of this creature!"

If it weren't for the system's prompts, he really wouldn't have discovered that, as a mammal, he could have this kind of structure.

Zhao Meng studied his own stinger, which grew on his hind limbs.

He didn't know the type of skeleton of the platypus, but he had the subjective impression that the stinger looked like it was on a human heel.

"For kicking!"

"Isn't it a straight way, how about toxicity?"

He carefully recalled the news of his previous life, and it seemed that he rarely heard the news of a platypus poisoning people.

"Presumably this stinger is not very lethal!"

"I don't know, what is the entry related to the stinger?"

"It doesn't require that much, as long as it can stun other creatures!" Zhao Meng was pleasantly surprised to see such a structure.

Especially his situation in the real world, he didn't want to let go of any opportunity.

"The clouds of the sunfish have been systematically transformed and amplified, and they will still become [cloud inheritance]."

"And what will this stinger become when it is simulated?"

Zhao Meng's heart was full of anticipation.

[In the seventh month, eating grows.] 】

Zhao Meng's simulation became positive, and the appearance of the stinger made his gloomy life appear a glimmer of light.

In nature, the use of poison is one of the effective means by which the weak defeat the strong.

In the real world, there is also such a truth.

If he really became a master of using poison, then his current danger could be solved.

Zhao Meng is full of hope,

The resulting appetite has also increased greatly,

For a time, insects, small shrimp, and all kinds of small animals on the bank near the river suffered.

……

[In the first year and seven months, you have matured, and your instinct drives you to look for something......]

"Alas!"

"It's time again!"

Zhao Meng looked at the moonlight reflected on the river and sighed a little wistfully.

The important duty of living beings is to reproduce, and as an animal, Zhao Meng can't avoid this matter.

Of course, with a human soul, he can also control the platypus not to find a mate.

But in order to complete the simulation, he can only submit to the competition and rewards given by nature to living beings.

"In other words, if you don't follow the laws of nature to reproduce, will the simulation fail?"

Zhao Meng thought about it carefully, and he really hadn't done this kind of experiment for the animals he simulated.

In the past, he was very instinctive, and happily joined some kind of competition!

Of course, in his current situation, there is no time to make such an attempt.

Zhao Meng shook his head gently, not thinking about it, he took advantage of the moonlight, followed his instincts, and pursued something......

"There it is!"

He saw three platypus, already in a ball of open water, presumably fighting for a mate.

"Haha, I'm here!"

Seeing the target appear, driven by instinct, Zhao Meng accelerated the speed of swimming.

Zhao Meng thought that he could easily defeat these ducks with his inappropriate experience.

Therefore, he did not hesitate, and was about to come forward to fight.

But at this moment, his duckbill suddenly sensed a slight vibration.

A sense of danger came over him.

"Oh no, it's a predator!"

The next moment, Zhao Meng felt that his body was bitten by something, and he tried to struggle, but the bite force on his body was really terrifying.

Accompanied by pain and blood, Zhao Meng lost consciousness:

【Simulation Failure】

Looking at these words flashing in the virtual space, Zhao Meng felt very regretful in his heart, thinking that he had also simulated a veteran of several animals, and he would make such a rudimentary mistake.

"It's all to blame for nature's rewards, which drive my instinctive behavior and make me ignore my surroundings."

"I forgot that breeding is one of the most dangerous times for a creature."

Thinking of this, Zhao Meng shook his head helplessly,

Based on his simulation experience, he summed up the two most dangerous stages of simulated animals.

One is at an early age.

One is during the breeding period.

As for old age, animals rarely have the chance to live to old age, and if there is no human factor to interfere, once they are old and weak, they are easily eliminated by nature.

Needless to say, why is the breeding period dangerous......

Judging by the animals he simulated,

During the breeding period, nudibranchs link each other to form an industrial chain, and Zhao Meng saw predators devouring the entire chain from top to bottom.

The fringed sandpiper, on the other hand, leaves the hidden grass and fights for territory in the clearing, which easily attracts predators from the sky.

The process of sunfish reproduction has become a gluttonous feast in the sea.

In short, the process of reproduction in nature is very dangerous.

Animals leave their shelters and fight, giving predators an opportunity.

Zhao Meng sometimes thinks that human beings' shyness in certain aspects, or even the prohibition of privacy, may not be due to moral and legal restrictions.

It's when primitive humans were still galloping across the wilderness.

He died because he multiplied to the point of forgetfulness.

This kind of teaching, engraved in the genes of human beings, makes human beings unconsciously move away from the wild and into holes and houses.

Even until mankind entered the age of civilization,

In the public, in an open place, there will also be an indescribable feeling, which is a feeling engraved in the genes, shyness, fear, or social death, legal and moral constraints.

In short, reproduction is a genetically given duty for a living organism, and it is a reward given by nature, but at the same time, there is also a danger here, and it cannot be done by the public.

"I really don't blame me!"

At this time, Zhao Meng had just adapted to the human body, looking at the dark mountains and forests outside the window, he muttered to himself:

"The uncontrolled instinct to reproduce is really dangerous!"

"But no matter what, it's my negligence, as the so-called good swimmer drowns, I think I'm skilled and adapted to nature, but often at this time, I am most vulnerable to nature's revenge!"

"Be more cautious in the future."

"I'm running out of time!"

Thinking of this, Zhao Meng's consciousness entered the virtual space again, and a new simulation began.

[In the first month, you are born from an egg!] 】

……

[In the first six months of the year, you start to look for something under the instinctive trend]

With the experience of failure caused by self-confidence last time, Zhao Meng was extra careful this time.

After all, the size of the platypus is not as large as that of the beaver, and this size is not high at the level of the food chain.

Therefore, he hid at the slightest hint of trouble.

After maneuvering with the predators, Zhao Meng finally approached the female platypus at a safe time.

Although there are no predators, the female is surrounded by three male platypus.

Looking at the three male ducks standing in front of the road,

Zhao Meng understood that the next time was to fight with these males.
