Chapter 175: Covered in ......
As the first time in adulthood, when Zhao Meng, who was a starfish, waved his tentacles, he found that each tentacle had one, not a few pairs, a tool to participate in the immediate responsibility.
It feels very novel to him, like opening the palm of his hand, with one on each finger, oh! It's a tool that shouldn't be in your hands.
"But to be precise, it's not the fingers, it's the limbs ......."
Although it felt strange, in order to complete the simulation, Zhao Meng still took on the responsibility of being a male starfish.
I saw that Zhao Meng, who was a starfish, raised one of his wrists and feet.
White clouds erupt from the brachiopods and drift down the current, colliding with the eggs released by the male and female starfish, and new seedlings are born.
Of course, this level of clouds and fog is still a little lighter than the sunfish covering the sky and covering the sky and the wonders of the ocean.
"Go on!"
Zhao Meng didn't stop after using one wrist and foot, and raised the other wrist and foot to continue to release clouds and mist.
In general, the starfish's five brachiopods release clouds together when stimulated by temperature and environment
But for Zhao Meng, who has human intelligence, prolonging the time of starfish can increase the chance of reproduction.
In addition to the consideration of extending the time to increase the success rate, Zhao Meng also wanted to try whether each of the starfish's five brachial feet had a different feeling.
After experimenting with rain and dew, he came to the conclusion that there was no difference between each brachiopod of the starfish.
……
After gathering, the starfish on the bottom of the sea began to slowly leave, and although some starfish lingered in this place, the predators attracted also made these starfish dare not stay longer.
Feeling the sea otters scurrying overhead, Zhao Meng shook his wrists and feet, and hurriedly left this gathering place.
[In June of the following year, you were attacked by natural enemies and lost part of your body]
"These sea otters!"
"It's too much!"
"How do you pick this part of the mouth,"
Zhao Meng, who was hiding in the cracks of the stones at the bottom of the sea, felt the incompleteness on his body, and felt a little helpless in his heart.
Since adulthood, starfish have few natural enemies, but few does not mean that there are none, but what Zhao Meng didn't expect was that his natural enemies turned out to be sea otters.
"Gotta go a little deeper so there will be fewer sea otters!"
Zhao Meng did not have a good time this year, perhaps because of the breeding of starfish, which attracted a large number of sea otters.
These sea otters feed on shellfish and sea urchins in the ocean, which conflicts with the starfish's diet.
If it's just to grab the starfish's food, it's okay, but more importantly, the sea otter seems to prefer to eat a certain part of the starfish's body.
For this reason, sea otters often take one or two bites and throw the starfish back into the sea.
Unfortunately, Zhao Meng, who did not have much mobility, was still searched out by a majestic sea otter and bitten twice, even though he had already hidden in a crack in the stones.
The place of bite is the most nutritious 'zone of responsibility' on the brachiopods.
"Thanks to the fact that the starfish is not a human being, if the sea otter is attacked in the next three ways, if the human being is bitten like this, I am afraid that the sea otter will become a nightmare for mankind."
Although Zhao Meng did not have a human body at this time,
But after he thought that the sea otter's attack on the human body was some kind of peach picking behavior, there was still a chill in his consciousness at this time.
"Fortunately, each starfish has a responsibility area on each wrist and foot, and if you lose it, you will lose it!"
[In July of the following year, after continuous eating, your body regained health. 】
"I didn't expect this starfish's ability to regenerate severed limbs to be so strong!"
Zhao Meng waved his newly grown wrists and feet, felt the area of responsibility for returning to normal function, and silently breathed a sigh of relief.
"For a living being, it is not a sorrow to be reborn from a severed limb."
Feeling his new wrist and foot, Zhao Meng suddenly discovered that in nature, animals with this ability are often in a passive position in the food chain.
Why do you have this ability if you don't have a part of your body that is constantly torn off by predators?
"Although this is an ability that animals have to evolve out of necessity, it would be nice if it could be extracted and used as an entry."
[In April of the fourth year, the breeding season has arrived, and instinct drives you to try to do something. 】
This time Zhao Meng restrained his instinct, the breeding place will attract natural enemies,
It would be dangerous to go there, and after the second and third years of breeding, he could be considered to have completed the mid-term task of the simulation - breeding
According to Zhao Meng's understanding of the simulation system,
If he fails to simulate at this point, the system will display an obtainable entry in order to provide motivation to continue the simulation.
"I don't know, what entry will be obtained on the starfish?"
Zhao Meng felt the quiet water around him and found a safe sea area.
[In April of the fifth year, the breeding season arrived, and you released your responsibilities]
Zhao Meng, who was empty, lay quietly on the bottom of the sea, and he muttered silently in the emptiness:
"Starfish shouldn't have a long lifespan!"
[July of the sixth year, the ...... of breeding]
"When will you die!"
Boredom, he continued to review the mathematical model and configuration of the Jindan period, and wanted to spend the life of the starfish.
[In January of the seventh year, you were attacked, you were dead, and the simulation failed]
"Hiss~"
"What ate me?"
"I didn't wait for the end of my life, I waited for the predator."
Zhao Meng thought back to what he had sensed before the defeat,
He felt as if something soft had crept up on him, and before he could react, he was eaten.
……
In a trance, Zhao Meng returned to his body again.
Simulating the phantom in space, as is customary, the sequelae left by the starfish are cleared.
But even so, he still felt uncomfortable for a while, and only opened his eyes after relieving himself.
"Senior, have you thought of a way?"
As soon as Zhao Meng opened his eyes, he heard the hurried voice of the cloud talisman.
Although several years have passed in the simulation, under the intervention of the phantom, those years are like a dream, only feeling long-term but there is a momentary sense of trance.
It was this time gap that made him a little uncomfortable.
Fortunately, these discomforts quickly dissipated, and all of Zhao Meng's senses were reset to the moment before the simulation.
"Don't worry, I've got a solution, it's just that you need to give something."
"Whatever I promise."
"Good!"
"Then you wait a minute."
Saying that, Zhao Meng closed his eyes, came to the virtual space again, and checked the simulation record just now.
"Sure enough!"
【Simulation Failure】
[After the simulation is successful, the following entries can be obtained.] 】
【Brachial testicles (golden)】
【Rebirth of a severed limb (purple)】
【Metamorphosis (purple)】
【Sucking (purple)】
【Vomiting stomach (blue)】
【Acid release (blue)】
【Water Perception (Blue)】
【Radiant Digestive System (Blue)】
【Cilia (blue)】
【Brachiopod mucus (blue)】
【Water cavity (white)】
【Back and anus (white)】
【Wrist Suction (White)】
【Acanthoderm (white)】
……
[Hidden Entry (Ununlocked)]
Zhao Meng was happy to see the entry of vomiting stomach, but when he saw the golden entry of the starfish, the consciousness body in the illusory space had a brief stagnation of thinking.
"The golden entry is related to reproduction."
"But what is it?"
Zhao Meng had thought about what the golden entry of the starfish was, but when he saw this thing, he couldn't hold back.
If he hadn't simulated a starfish, he might not have understood the meaning of the entry.
But after experiencing the starfish breeding process, he could already guess something, even if he couldn't see the detailed explanation of the entry at this time.
This kind of entry...... If it is applied to a person, how it will be revealed. ”
Looking at this entry, Zhao Meng thought of an allusion for some reason.
In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in the previous life, adult men liked to wear a few pieces of jade ornaments around their waists, and whenever they walked, the jade stones collided with each other and made a very nice jingle sound.
This style not only shows the identity, but also cultivates the style of a gentleman with jade ornaments.
However, if you have two pieces of jade on your waist, you can do it, and if you hang jade everywhere on your body, you will be despised under the jingle noise.
Recalling this allusion and looking at this entry again, Zhao Meng was a little helpless.
This kind of entry...... That's it! I haven't pulled it out yet, maybe it's not what I thought. ”
Zhao Meng continued to look down:
"Reborn with a severed limb, that's a good entry."
"Metamorphosis, this entry, may have a miraculous effect on the black motle."
"Suction ......"
Seeing this entry, Zhao Meng was silent for a moment, and he could understand this entry when it appeared.
The starfish's five brachiopods are as full of suckers as the tentacles of an octopus, and they can pick open closed clams.
But he really couldn't imagine how this kind of entry was embodied in people.
"The limbs of a man plus the head, to the five wrists and feet of a starfish that can also correspond to them."
"Is it to increase a person's ability to hug and tear?"
Zhao Meng guessed for a moment, then continued to look down, and the next entry was his purpose this time [vomiting stomach]
"I don't know, if I can extract this entry at once!"
"If you can't do it, you can only enter the second week."
Zhao Meng skimmed through the remaining entries, and then looked at the huge phantom in the phantom space, the phantom of the head and snake tail of the person was much more condensed than half a year ago.
Some traces of facial features have appeared on it, but there is still a layer of mist, and the true appearance of the phantom cannot be seen.
"The number of times the phantom has accumulated now should be enough for me to extract the required entries."
As early as the last world, Zhao Meng found that the degree of condensation of the phantom represents the number of times it can be simulated.
He also used the demon stone to charge the phantom, before he thought that it was the power of the earth decay in the demon stone that provided energy for the phantom, but now that he thought about it, the things that provided energy for the phantom still couldn't roughly draw some kind of conclusion.
"Is it the power of the decay of the earth in nature, or the yang source emitted by the stars, or something else......
Zhao Meng stopped his wild speculation and entered the simulation system again.
……
After a moment of trance, the familiar water flu appeared around him.
[In the first week, you were born from the gastrulation embryo and became the freestyle larva of the starfish......]
The hatching process of starfish is also different from that of ordinary creatures, and in such a peculiar process, Zhao Meng once again opened a new simulation.
【Simulation Failure】
【Simulation Failure】
……
Even though Zhao Meng had already simulated a starfish and brought his personal wisdom to the extreme, he still experienced several failures in the plankton stage of starfish larvae before he got on the right track of simulation.
After all, plankton, as the grass in the ocean, is the food of most living things.
Once, Zhao Meng even devoured a baleen whale that was eating shrimp, and finally turned into the nutrition of baleen whales.
As a floater, he constantly realizes the weakness of personal strength in the face of the general trend.
Fortunately, with continuous attempts, he finally entered the normal process.
Time is passing little by little......
[In January of the third year, you are an adult, and your instinct drives you to look for something]
Feeling the state at this time, Zhao Meng breathed a long sigh of relief.
Once a starfish reaches adulthood, its ability to survive is greatly enhanced, and even if a part of its body is bitten off, it can still recover.
"This time it will be a success."
With his last experience, he began to look for a place to live after waving his wrists and feet to fulfill the responsibilities of a male starfish.
……
[In April of the sixth year, you were attacked by sea otters, but you survived. 】
Zhao Meng, who was hiding at the bottom of the sea, recovered from his injuries.
He originally wanted to hide in the deep seabed, but there were some strange mollusks that could hunt starfish.
Compared to the sea otter, which only bites a part, the mollusks in those areas will kill him.
As for the deeper sea area, the starfish can't survive there, and the lesser of two evils, Zhao Meng still chose a sea area that is neither deep nor shallow.
Unexpectedly, under the effect of the undercurrent, he accidentally floated out.
"What a carelessness!"
[July of the eighth year, breeding ......]
For the call of the body, Zhao Meng decisively refused.
[April of the 11th year, call to eat and reproduce]
"How long does this starfish live?"
[Seventeenth ......]
"I didn't expect to complete the number and magic required for cultivation here, and there is an endless automatic method, and Yuan Ying is hopeful."
At this time, under a rock at the bottom of the sea, a unique starfish is crawling there,
This starfish is a full circle larger than the surrounding starfish, but it is such a large starfish, but it hides under the rocks and does not compete with other starfish for food under the sea.
It seemed to lie flat.
"I didn't expect starfish to be so alive."
[In the twenty-first year, you feel the deterioration of your bodily functions, and you are aging. 】
"Finally old!"
[In May 24, your body functions are no longer functioning properly due to aging. 】
At this moment, Zhao Meng can no longer feel the water flow around him, nor can he analyze the information in it through the water flow and perceive the surrounding environment.
He felt that his control over the starfish was gradually disappearing, and the five wrists and feet could no longer hold on to the rocks at the bottom of the sea
An undercurrent surged by, and his body slowly floated into the depths of the ocean.
The starfish died......
