Ninja World: Insect Princess from Konoha.

Chapter 316 Survival Plan

"Increasing the number of people on the contract, charging according to the task, even simply passing on the information, will bring a lot of benefits." Meiji said.

"Unreasonable." Immortal Fukasaku said, "Once the fees are charged, there will be many troubles. When the tasks conflict, it will cause the toads to kill each other."

"Keep absolute neutrality." Meggie said: "Some tasks can be directly refused. Of course, you can add money, but it's not impossible."

"The Ninja cat clan has in-depth cooperation with Uchiha, but they are not absolutely attached to Uchiha. They maintain a relatively neutral and low profile. Their group size is very large. When the group grows, the death of one or two individuals is irrelevant."

"No!" Immortal Fukasaku said, "Because of the influence of humans, the ethnic group will be divided into several positions."

"Of course, you can also learn from the ninja clan and maintain a high degree of close cooperation with a certain human ninja clan, and the humans will be responsible for the expenses of the clan." Miki said: "The Inuzuka clan has always regarded dog companions as their own lives, precious More than your own life, it's a very clever survival strategy."

"No." Immortal Fukasaku said, "What's the difference between this and a dog? It completely loses its independence."

"In addition, the psychic beasts in the wild have always chosen to live alone, and the population is scarce, because the land is not full of food, so they have to survive alone." Meiji said: "You can try to release adult individuals that can survive independently into the wild. , to free up enough living space and resources in disguise."

"Impossible!" Immortal Fukasaku said, "I will not drive my son out of the group. In the wild, he will have a hard time surviving. Not only are difficult wild species, but he will also attract attacks from humans with malicious intentions."

"That's right. From the perspective of eating, such a big toad can kill enough to feed the whole village for a long time." Meiji said.

Immortal Fukasaku's face darkened.

"There are some things you can't learn." Meiji said: "For the slug fairy, there is no such trouble. One person is full, and the whole family is not hungry. In terms of food, not to mention the humus and the decay of plants. The rhizomes can feed on, and there are a lot of protein in the water, such as mosquito and fly larvae. Although it is small, it is enough. Just drink some water to fill your stomach. No matter how bad it is, slugs can still eat themselves, and the stored fat can survive any hardship. time."

Hearing this, Fukasaku Sage and Shima Sage looked envious.

"However, the dragon's hole is very practical." Meiji said: "For snakes, they are basically carnivorous and rarely swallow the roots and fruits of plants. Because they are in a hidden corner of the human world, they are connected to the human world. , there is no shortage of a large number of rats from all walks of life on the site, so the group size is huge."

Orochimaru's snake doesn't feel bad at all when it dies.

Because there are too many.

"Is it because there is no shortage of food?" Meiji said: "Any environment has an upper limit. Where snakes live, there are not only fewer poisonous insects but also fewer rats. Creatures will instinctively escape from dangerous areas. The snakes in Longdi Cave also have The distress of lack of food."

"In a snake den like that, there wouldn't be even a single mouse."

"So, how did they survive the crisis?"

"Small snakes will come to the ground to prey on the ground, and some big snakes will also go to the ground to prey on large animals such as cattle and sheep, but no matter whether it is a big snake or a small snake, these foods are not very refreshing. For the body structure of the snake, it is the easiest to eat. The edible ones are naturally other snakes."

"So, in Ryuchi Cave, the super-large snakes that don't go out to hunt will prey on all other snakes that are smaller than themselves."

"And the little snake will try to grow into the next super-large snake in this dangerous environment."

"Although it seems cruel and ruthless, it is precisely because of this system that the entire ethnic group has not collapsed and reached a delicate balance with nature. It is a very clever survival strategy and efficiently utilizes the cycle of resources."

"Interestingly, snakes lay a few to dozens of eggs at a time, not more than a hundred."

"As for frogs, there are tens of thousands of eggs at a time. Even if you count the damage during the growth process, in the dangerous environment surrounded by natural enemies, the adult rate can easily exceed one hundred."

"I've seen your eggs exceed a thousand at a time. With this kind of fertility efficiency, the number of the entire group is not comparable to the group of snakes in Longdi Cave. It really can't be justified."

"However, it is a waste to lay eggs but not fertilize them, let them rot and die, and become nourishment for insects in the water."

"How much you can learn from Longdi Cave, it won't be so difficult."

Generally speaking, these eggs in the wild are very dangerous and will become a delicacy for all kinds of creatures.

Parents are usually not far away to watch over, so species such as the negative child toad have also developed.

"Don't make a mistake!" Fukasaku Immortal said in a deep voice, "We are not those ruthless, cold-blooded low-intelligence beasts! We will never prey on our own kind and offspring!"

"ridiculous."

Maggie sneered.

"First, the amphibians Anura, that is, frogs, are cold-blooded animals that change temperature just like snakes."

"Second, the essence of human society is cannibalism, which is not fundamentally different from the system in Longdidong."

"Small snakes create value, and big snakes devour value. If you don't want to be devoured, you will become the next big snake."

"As the most successful species on this planet, humans are the most ruthless and ruthless beasts that have ever existed."

"You who have been studying human beings for a long time, can't you even learn the essence of this?"

"Wait!" Jilai also looked at Meiji, and shouted in disbelief: "Chongji! Could it be that the love and tenderness in the human world are all fake!"

"What do you think?" Meggie looked at Jiraiya.

"It can't be false!" Jiraiya said firmly.

"That's true." Meggie replied casually: "It doesn't conflict with ruthlessness and cruelty. It's black and white, right and wrong. It's not something that can be easily distinguished in this world. The companions in the village do not prevent you from killing the ninjas of the hostile village ruthlessly. You know very well that if you don’t kill him, your companions will die. It’s contradictory to say it, but this is the concrete expression of love, and love has many facets .”

Jiraiya looked at Miki in confusion.

This is too complicated.

He couldn't understand.

"So what should we do?" Meggie looked at the toads and asked, "Sacrificing some individuals in exchange for a good survival of the whole."

Sento Fukasaku and Sento Shima remained silent.

"Continuing to maintain this way, the entire ethnic group may become extinct one day."

Maggie said softly.

"Shen Zuo." At this moment, a voice sounded in the distance.

Fukasaku and Shima turned their heads abruptly, looking in the direction of the voice.

"It's Immortal Toad!"

Zilai also exclaimed.

"Let her come to see me!" Immortal Toad said in a deep voice, the voice came from afar.

This kind of long-distance broadcast, in principle, is no different from a speaker, simple sound amplification, low technical content.

This group of toads should have a lot of sonic-related escape techniques.

Maggie has no interest in these techniques.

"Chong Ji, please come with me, Immortal Toad wants to see you." Fukasaku said respectfully.

Meggie stretched out her hand, signaling to lead the way.

It's really not easy to meet this old toad.

Miki followed the Fukasaku couple who were bouncing around.

Behind him, he followed suit.
