Chapter 209: From Tiny to Huge
"Die for the immortals!"
Zhao Meng was both surprised by Yin Ji's big answer, and it was within his acceptable range.
"Why?"
At this time, Yin Ji's big strand shook a little, and asked rhetorically:
"Do you think immortals can live forever?"
"If immortals can live forever, what is the price?"
"What does this have to do with Yin Ji's death?"
"I don't know much, I only know that Yin Ji's death is related to the immortality of the immortals."
Faced with such an answer, Zhao Meng didn't know what to say, Yin Ji's answer seemed to answer some questions, but at the same time, it brought a lot of questions.
"So what does the Divine Seed mean to the Immortals?"
"I don't know."
"Huh?"
"What kind of existence are those immortals?"
"Invisible, insubstantial, inperceptible, as if not in the same world as us."
"What about the fairy world?"
"I can't feel it."
Zhao Meng asked many more questions, but the answers he got were ambiguous.
"I'm going back, Xianzhou still needs me to control it, and something calls me."
Looking at the large stock of Yin Ji who returned to the box, Zhao Meng groaned.
"What's wrong?" Xixi Lake saw that Zhao Meng had been silent, so he asked out loud.
"Nothing?"
Zhao Meng shook his head gently, looking at the metal box in front of him, he didn't continue to ask anything.
"This Yin Ji big stock seems to have changed a lot, could it be related to the refining of immortals?"
He muttered, glancing at the picture sent back by the human-headed female ghost,
At this time, the evil mother, for some reason, turned red-faced, and seemed to be controlling her doppelganger, and had a fierce dispute with others.
"The time for the evil mother to go out is almost over, so I have to wait for the next opportunity."
Looking at the evil mother who opened his eyes, Zhao Meng glanced at the metal box again, put it back in place, and quickly withdrew from the black tower by himself and returned to the shore.
The evil mother, whose consciousness returned from the doppelganger, did not look for him, but was busy with something alone.
Similarly, Zhao Meng, who returned to the shore, was not idle, and through Yin Ji's large stock, he was familiar with the situation of the entire Xianzhou.
Under the combined effect of the human-headed female ghost and the Yin Ji big stock, Zhao Meng has now completely stolen the control of Xianzhou.
Now this is Zhao Meng's immortal boat, but in order to avoid arousing the vigilance of the evil mother, Zhao Meng did not refuse the permission of the evil mother.
Although he had already mastered the authority of the immortal boat, Zhao Meng did not feel relaxed, and under the surveillance of the human-headed female ghost, two more immortal boats appeared outside.
The Evil Mother manipulates the clone again and goes to discuss things.
Although the evil mother will not bother him if her energy is restrained, the continuous appearance of fairy boats also gives him an inexplicable pressure.
"Gotta find out what they planned."
"But if you want to leave the immortal boat and enter the vein immortal channel after the fifth time domain, your cultivation must at least reach the level of god-turning, and my cultivation is not enough."
: Maybe try something else! ”
At this time, Zhao Meng sat by the river, and his consciousness came to a virtual space.
Looking at the phantom of the man's head and snake tail, Zhao Meng hesitated for a moment and made a decision,
The simulation was originally intended to be accumulated, after all, the time in the outside world in the simulation is basically stagnant, although it cannot cause rapid growth in strength, but it can also allow him to get some unexpected help at critical moments.
"Maybe I was going to wait until near the fairy realm to simulate it."
"But the plan can't catch up with the changes, the evil mother has summoned so many existences, and the extraction of entries can only be advanced."
Zhao Meng's consciousness moved, and he touched the light cluster in front of the snake-tailed phantom of the human head.
His consciousness drifted for a moment, and a new simulation began.
[In the first week, you become a D-shaped larva of geoduck, with a body length of 210 microns]
"Geoduck, planktonic?"
"How is this animal!" Zhao Meng, who came back to his senses, felt the water flow around him, and muttered helplessly.
He had only heard of such an animal, but he had never seen it.
"What words can you have on this animal?"
The strange appearance of this animal appeared in his mind, and a trace of curiosity appeared in Zhao Meng's heart.
At this moment, a gust of ocean current passed, and Zhao Meng's body fluttered uncontrollably with the current, this state made him dare not be distracted.
"Geoduck is also a planktonic start, which is a bit of a problem."
[On the first Wednesday, after planktonic feeding, you grow into a shell-top larvae, and your body length reaches 310 microns.] 】
"Oops! It's a filter eater! ”
Looking at a floating sea bug, Zhao Meng wanted to dodge,
But in the face of this behemoth that can be seen by the naked eye, he has little possibility to dodge at all.
Innate endowed him with a weak body, limiting his human intelligence.
[You are eaten, the simulation fails.] 】
Looking at the words that popped up in front of him, Zhao Meng did not give up and continued to simulate.
"The floating start, it can only depend on luck!"
To be honest, so many animals have been simulated, although most of them are in a weak state of larvae.
Some chordates still have the possibility of allowing him to use human intelligence.
However, the planktonic larvae, which can only be seen under the microscope, are too susceptible to environmental influences.
Even a slight change in the salinity of the sea water and the water temperature could endanger his life.
And he is in a floating state, and he is the bottom of the bottom of the ocean, and everything can only survive by luck.
Next, Zhao Meng continued to reopen.
"For the seventh time!"
Zhao Meng, who failed again, sighed helplessly.
He really wanted to bring this cultivation into the simulation, but unfortunately the simulation system only allowed him to simulate on the dusty plankton and experience the cruelty of the natural world over and over again.
[In the second week, your body changes, you grow feet and water pipe primordium, and your body length reaches 360 microns.] 】
"Finally live to the second week!"
Feel the not too hard shell on your body,
Although he still needs a microscope to see, he already has a little ability to save his life.
[In the third week, you enter the stage of attachment metamorphosis, and your instinct drives you to look for the "base", and your body length reaches 510 microns. 】
"I lived to the third week."
"There's a play this time!"
Feeling his physical condition, Zhao Meng was a little excited in his heart.
He simulated so many animals, and he should have been in a peaceful state of mind for the simulation, but the beginning of the planktonic state still had some impact on his mentality.
After all, every death is his own experience, not a simple narrative of simulated words.
[In the first month, you find the right attachment point, and your body length grows to 870 microns.] 】
"At this time, the geoduck looks no different from the ordinary mussel, and I don't know how to grow like that."
Zhao Meng felt his physical state, muttered, and continued to drill into the sand.
When the tide came, Zhao Meng opened the mussel shell and filtered the plankton in the sea.
As for whose children are among these plankton, Zhao Meng can't care so much.
[In the second month, after continuous growth, you have completed metamorphosis development and entered the larval stage, and your body length at this time has reached 5 mm]
"Five millimeters, put on the ruler is the size of a fingernail tip, and it is completely visible to the naked eye."
"I didn't expect the simulation to go so smoothly."
"And I've had some changes, too."
Zhao Meng was hiding in the beach of the shallow sea at this time, feeling the arrival of the tide, Zhao Meng stretched out his head and filtered the food sent by the tide.
I don't know how long later, the tide receded, and Zhao Meng retreated back into the beach.
"It's no wonder that geoduck grows like this, it turns out that it has to adapt to this environment."
"But I'm still far from a full-fledged geoduck."
Zhao Meng felt his state, and at this moment he had completely departed from the appearance of traditional mussels.
On the outside of the mussel shell sticks out a cylindrical tubular substance,
There are also some meat pads underneath the shells, which are fixed in the sand and gravel below like suction cups.
Maybe it's because he's still in his infancy, and he can only call them sprouts at the moment, and he can't even compare to those sea sprouts.
But Zhao Meng, who is a geoduck, knows very well that this is only the beginning, and his body will not end here.
[In the third month, after eating, your body grows further, and at this time your body size reaches 5.7 mm]
"It's only 0.7 mm longer!"
"This growth rate is a bit slow!"
Originally, Zhao Meng thought that he would soon be able to grow into a towering giant mussel, but the blow brought to him by reality was very huge, 5.7 mm, and the head of the mussel was almost invisible.
"Being short also has the advantage of being short, and now I can still retract into the shell of the mussel to avoid the threat of crabs, which is another benefit."
Zhao Meng comforted himself and continued the simulation.
[In the sixth month, after continuous eating, your body length reaches 2.5 cm.] 】
"It's finally more obvious!"
Zhao Meng felt his state, and for some reason there was an emotion called joy in his heart, which may be the benefit of growing up for him!
[In the first year, your body length reached 5.3 cm]
"These crabs!"
"Hiss~"
The tube that Zhao Meng stretched out to eat was caught by an unknown crab.
"I'm losing!"
Zhao Meng gave up his head, and something like a pig's nose was caught by a crab, and Zhao Meng also hid in the sand smoothly.
"I can't go back!"
"This mussel shell is useless."
Zhao Meng's size reached a certain scale, but at the same time, the abnormality of his body structure made the mussel shell on his body no longer close.
He can only keep the state of bursting out of the shell.
This may be the growing pain.
[The next year, you continue to eat and grow to 10.1 cm]
"The ability to move has been completely lost!"
Zhao Meng felt his state and sighed slightly.
From the floating state to the landing on this beach, I recall what I have experienced in the past two years.
Zhao Meng felt as if he was not an animal, but a plant rooted in the sand, absorbing the plankton of the sea between the tides.
In this state, the 'feet' in his body that could be used for movement gradually degenerated.
He's completely pinned down here.
"I don't know what entries can be obtained from this animal."
Zhao Meng carefully recalled the first two years of his life as a duck mussel, and he found that there seemed to be nothing peculiar about this animal except for its unique appearance.
"By the way, it seems that the head of this animal tube can be discarded, like a gecko's tail is broken, and there may be some strange entry here."
[In January of the following year, you continue to eat, and your body is growing rapidly. 】
Zhao Meng thought that his simulation had been stabilized, but who would have thought that accidents always came at unexpected times.
"What's the situation, why did the sea suddenly recede!"
After two years of simulation, Zhao Meng already has an instinctive memory of the tide, which should have been the time of high tide, but the sea water suddenly receded.
His doubts didn't last long, and soon a large amount of seawater rushed in, and Zhao Meng subconsciously went out to filter the seawater.
But then he sensed that something was wrong, the sea brought a lot of plankton this time, but the current was terrifyingly turbulent.
In the face of this terrifying wave, Zhao Meng suddenly reacted, what was the situation at this time:
"It's a tsunami!"
Zhao Meng hurriedly retracted his head, although geoduck has the ability to face the impact of waves, but Zhao Meng is not complete.
There is not much resistance in the face of natural disasters.
He was swept away by the power of heaven and earth, and he left the beach and went deep into the land, which he had little ability to move.
[Simulation failed! 】
Consciousness returned to the body, looking at the words that popped out of the system, Zhao Meng let out a long breath:
"I didn't expect to be eaten by natural enemies this time, but I encountered a natural disaster, which can be regarded as unlucky."
"It's a pity that we haven't entered an important breeding node yet."
"That's it! Continue the simulation. ”
Zhao Meng was not a person who gave up halfway, and after cleaning up his mood a little, he continued to start the simulation.
The floating start was still to survive through luck, and after more than a dozen reopenings, the simulation is finally on track.
[In the first week, you hatch from the eggs, and you become the D-shaped larvae of geoduck......]
From the first week to the first year, Zhao Meng has experienced a similar process,
But the difference is that the last time he landed on a sandy beach, this time he landed on a dirt beach, with a school of mudskippers as company.
If Zhao Meng's simulated geoduck has human eyes, you can still find that the last time his mussel meat was pink and white, then this time he was born in the mud and was a little black.
However, even if he knew, he wouldn't care, and the color didn't affect the success of the simulation.
[In the third year, your body length reaches 12 cm by constantly eating.] 】
"Bigger, longer, and more food in demand! There is still a difference between this dirt beach and the sand beach."
Zhao Meng could feel some roots in the soil, and these roots were most likely the roots of the mangrove forest by the sea.
Fortunately, most of these roots play a fixed role and do not affect his home.
[In the fourth year, you continue to grow, and your body size reaches 15 cm]
"It looks like it's going to take some time to get to 18 centimeters!"
"I didn't expect this geoduck to grow slower the further it goes."
Zhao Meng, who felt his physical state, muttered.
"I can feel that the breeding season of geoducks is coming!"
"I didn't expect it to be four years long."
"But how do these fixed creatures reproduce?"
At this time, Zhao Meng was poking his head out to filter and eat things in the sea, and Zhao Meng was very interested in the breeding process of geoducks.
