How to become a mermaid

Chapter 6 The Birth of the Father of the Hybrid Anemone

After being beaten up by the angry Alicia, Shaman Lele was honest.

Instead of running around, he explored around his home.

After becoming a mermaid, Samantel lived in a big house that he never even dared to imagine in his previous life—a coral reef stretching for tens of sea miles.

Mermaids don't build a house as a residence like human beings. The deep sea is unpredictable, and they don't know when an accident will happen. They need to be ready to run away at any time.

Moreover, the mermaids don't have any fixed place to sleep. When they need to sleep, they can just find a hidden place among the corals and close their eyes to rest.

However, as a delicate male fish, Samantel likes to spread a layer of sea anemone under his body when he sleeps.

This common marine creature has a long, soft, cylindrical body that sleeps softly. The torso is radiated with dense tentacles. When these tentacles swing with the waves, they will scratch Shaman Lyle's body, which is like a ball massage. Feel.

Shamanleir likes this kind of "bed" very much. The only thing that is a little dissatisfied is that the sea anemones here are too small, and the largest one is only more than one meter wide. One sea anemone can't bear him, which is more than three meters long. The mermaid needs to get a few spliced ​​together.

Moreover, sea anemones sometimes do not cooperate. Most sea anemones like to live alone. When they are piled together, they often conflict or even fight, sting each other with their tentacles, and run around when Shamanlele is sleeping, disturbing his rest. .

In his spare time, Shamanleir likes to study sea anemones, trying to "hybridize" the most suitable species of sea anemone as a bed.

In the long-term observation of Shaman Lair, it was found that there are two ways of reproduction of sea anemones, one is sexual reproduction, and the other is self-division.

Sea anemones that reproduce sexually are divided into female and male plants, which also have reproductive cells.

The male sea anemone that is sexually reproducing will launch a large number of small tadpoles in the sea, and the female sea anemone will also release reproductive cells in the sea water. The two float together in the sea water and collide together to form fertilized eggs. The fertilized eggs will It rises to the surface of the sea, drifts around with the waves, and after a while sinks to the bottom of the sea, where it implants in a new place.

The self-dividing sea anemone is much simpler, and new buds can be grown directly on its own base to develop into a new sea anemone.

Shaman Lair mainly puts the goal of "hybridization" on the method of sexual reproduction.

After three years of observation, Shamanleir carefully selected a dozen species of sea anemones capable of sexual reproduction.

Now that he can't go out to surf, Shamanleir is going to start his hybrid sea anemone experiment.

Samantel swam to his anemone farm—a deep-sea coral reef roughly the size of a football field.

He raised about hundreds of sea anemones here, planned fifteen grids with seaweed, and temporarily divided the sea anemones into areas.

【Name: Unnamed】

【Species: Colored Carpet Anemone】

[Alienation degree: 0.7%]

【Status: Healthy】

[Special parts: none]

[Evaluation: Edible, slightly poisonous]

The sea anemones in the first frame are all colorful carpet anemones. This kind of sea anemone has a variety of body colors. The forty or so anemones raised by Shaman Lear alone have gathered all the colors of the rainbow.

The mouth of this anemone is small and spherical, and the whole anemone has obvious wrinkles. The tentacles are extremely short and shaped like wart-like protrusions, but they are relatively sparse, with only one or two pinches per pinch.

The colorful carpet anemone is relatively large, and can grow to a size of more than one meter. It spreads out on the ground like a large carpet with large folds.

Samantel usually likes to use this kind of sea anemone as the base to make beds, but this kind of sea anemone has too few tentacles, so the massage is not comfortable enough, so it needs to be improved by crossing with sea anemones with more tentacles.

He swam to the sea anemone colony to check, picked out those sea anemones with poor health and threw them away, and picked six largest and strongest female plants to be mothers. They were named [carpet 001] ], [Carpet 002], [Carpet 003]...

As for the parent body used for hybridization, it is a small sea anemone.

【Name: Unnamed】

[Species: Succulent Grape Anemone]

[Alienation degree: 0.9%]

【Status: Healthy】

[Special parts: none]

[Evaluation: Inedible, highly poisonous]

The tentacles of the succulent grape anemone are round and cute, and quite dense, not big in size. When the tentacles are all shrunk together, they look like a bunch of big grapes, and the colors are mainly green and blue.

This kind of sea anemone can secrete highly poisonous venom. After being stung, there will be strong hallucinations. There will be a group of little people dancing with colorful laser lights in front of them, and the heartbeat will continue to speed up, just like being high.

But for mermaids, it is still within the tolerable range.

The above phenomenon was experienced by Shaman Lyle native fish, and it is not authoritative, and the effect may vary from fish to fish.

Shamanleir also picked out six sea anemones with the best health from the pile of succulent grape anemones, and named them [Succulent 001], [Succulent 002], [Succulent 003]...

"Gulu Gulu..." With the carefully selected sea anemones, Shamanleer left the sea anemone farm while spitting bubbles.

After he left, Alicia, who was secretly observing Shaman Lair's movements, poked her head out from a coral reef and sighed at Shaman Lair's back.

"This kid doesn't know what he's thinking all day long. Either he runs out to roam around, or he likes to mess around and eat. I don't know if he can grow up to adulthood smoothly."

As the mother of a young mermaid, Alicia is full of worries about the future of Shaman Lair.

Do you want to... have another one while you're still young?
When Alicia was planning to create a trumpet, Shamanlell brought the selected twelve sea anemones to another coral group in the shallow sea.

This coral group is relatively close to the sea surface, has sufficient light, and is rich in mayfly organisms, which is especially suitable for sea anemone reproduction.

He named this piece of coral group [Sea Anemone Hybrid Breeding Base].

After choosing the venue, Shamanlell cleaned up other idle sea anemones on the reef, and created a solitary environment for these sea anemones who arranged marriages.

Two kinds of sea anemones were paired one by one according to the number, and each pair of sea anemones was planted at a distance of 500 meters.

Sea anemones will only start to reproduce when there is sufficient sunlight and food. Shamanleir has created an environment for them, and now he just needs to wait quietly for his sea anemones to spit out reproductive cells.

.........................................................

Just when Shaman Lair started the sea anemone hybridization experiment, the news of the discovery of the mermaid also spread in the town of Sebator.

The person who spread the news was Johnny.

After a brief contact with Samantel, Jonny found that it was impossible to catch the mermaid relying on his own ability.

After he finished fighting with Old Kande, he drove the boat back to Sebator Town, and spread the news of Old Kande's trade with the mermaid.

Johnny wants to gather people and go out to sea to find the mermaid.
