Spore Story

Chapter 47

Quack, quack, quack, quack, quack...

"..."

Ga - "What's going on, it's so noisy!"

On the edge of the originally calm river beach, dozens of large adult quacks and a group of noisy juvenile quacks are constantly crawling out of the water, the dark scales absorbing the sun's rays.

What is the scene of nearly [-] quack beasts howling by the river? It is more uncomfortable than a bunch of flies circling around you.So, Tang Seng took the second place, and the Quack Beast Choir won the championship...

Quack: "Well, I suddenly felt that it was always a mistake to evolve hearing and voice." Quack, the main consciousness surrounded by a bunch of quack beasts, felt dizzy at this moment. The speech was a bit blocked, so Quack, who was stuck in the middle of the road and still showing a little remorse, was stepped on by the little guys behind who couldn't wait to go ashore and yearned to bask in the sun.

Yes, it was stepped on. "Anyway, the main consciousness didn't say that you can't step on it. Since you are in the front, let's go from above and develop three-dimensionally." This is the thinking of the quacks behind at this time.

In the end, he was dizzy by the sudden noise, and his limbs were weakened by the unscrupulous quack beasts. Instead, he became the last quack beast to land.

After landing, the quack beasts searched for a good position, and began to lazily bask in the sun. Except for some quack beasts that only made sounds when they were fighting for a good position, the others without exception lay their bodies on the soft ground with ease. On the river beach or on the warm rocks, squinting slightly while keeping an eye on the surroundings, absorbing the temperature of the scorching sun.

This scene made Quack's teeth itch with hatred for being stepped on by dozens of quack beasts.

"You bastards!" Ga—

When the main consciousness spoke, a group of lazy quack beasts immediately turned their heads to look at quack with pure and pure eyes.

"Uh" felt a little nervous, it seems that Quack is still not used to the feeling of being watched by a bunch of eyes, "What are you looking at, I tell you, you are not allowed to step on me in the future, you know!" Quack—Quack

Although they have been giving orders to these guys with their spirits, so that they can roughly understand, it may be a matter of human habits. As long as they speak, their mouths will habitually make sounds.It was okay to not have a voice in the past, but he just opened his mouth, and now he is making a quacking sound, which makes Quacking even more depressed.

Habits are scary...

Burning with anger, Quack dragged his tired body up, lamenting that fortunately his body was relatively strong, so he was not trampled to death by dozens of juvenile Quack beasts. "If I, as the main consciousness, were really trampled to death by my own race, it would be because I was stunned by my own voice, and I blocked the way and didn't tell them not to step on it. Well, I might become the most miserable person in history. Main consciousness." Quack, who was sweating profusely, thought while crawling.

"Get out of the way, let's go to the side, I'll occupy this place." Quack

Commanding an adult quack beast occupying a whole piece of rock protruding from the river bank, pushing the reluctant opponent aside, squatting on this rock with a higher terrain, a good environment and in the middle of the quack herd On top of that, he also relaxes comfortably like other quack beasts.

Turning his eyes lazily, he looked at the surrounding environment. This is a relatively wide river bank. In front of him, only a rough black line can be seen on the opposite bank and the slightly undulating clear river.Beside him are hundreds of quack beasts lazily and motionless. Behind the herd, about the length of dozens of quack beasts, there is an endless forest, where strange plants are densely covered, and it seems to be filled with a thin mist , blocking the line of sight that wants to explore its interior.

A round of red sun is slowly rising above the distant horizon, it seems that it is morning.

The surroundings gradually calmed down, and the screams of the quack beasts became less and less.

"Um--"

He shook the tail behind him comfortably, and accidentally swept the one horn of a quack beast behind him, but the other party didn't intend to move at all, and quack didn't mind, and continued to shake his tail lazily.

Occasionally, a few hungry quacks in the herd crawled into the water together, and took out a few fish, tearing each other's food and devouring it.

The occasional sound of water and gentle wind mixed with the beating of trees in the forest came to Ga Ga's ears.

"It is only now that I realize that there is a big difference between the communication of consciousness and the sound." Gaga, who gradually calmed down listening to the peaceful sound of nature, now realizes that the feeling of his consciousness communication is completely different from the real voice since time travel.

The voice of conscious communication is the feeling when thinking in the mind, and it is so slight compared to the real voice. This is probably the reason why many people need to be in a quiet environment to think stably.

And in the creature editing space, the real sound is only the pure natural sound, unlike the current creature world, which is also mixed with the sounds of insects, rattling beasts, and occasionally other beasts.

"If it wasn't for the quack beast's chorus before, my hearing would be pretty good," Quietly thinking, quack complained in his heart. "Speaking of which, although they also lay eggs in water, why do I feel that the number of reproduction per unit is much less than that of fish before?"

He looked up and counted the number of herds at this time, 270 and seven.When I entered the creature editing space before, there were 52 unicorns, of which there seemed to be 21 females, so on average, each female produced about [-] unicorns.And the number of spawns seen when entering the creature editing space before was far more than this number.

"Is there a certain percentage limit for the egg to grow into a complete individual, or is it eaten by other creatures when it grows?"

Due to the early development of parent-child consciousness in our own race, and the deliberate cultivation of the main consciousness later, eggs and juveniles are protected and supervised by a certain number of mature individuals during the breeding period, so that even if they are stolen by other creatures, the amount There shouldn't be too many, so many eggs failed to grow to full individuals.

Why?

"The environment in the external cause?"

Due to the continuous breeding for a long time, there is a relatively complete method of finding the main consciousness of the breeding ground. Whether it is safe, water temperature or food, etc., it is more reasonable, so the survival rate of the eggs is good.

Why is that?

"Could it be an internal cause." Squinting his eyes slightly, Quack looked at the slightly dazzling sun, "Because my species is becoming more and more complex and complete, the number of individual reproductions is getting smaller and smaller? Is that so?"

"My memory seems to say that the stronger the creature, the more difficult it is for the next generation to reproduce, but human beings have ruled the earth, so the reproduction is still very high?" Gaga was a little puzzled.

"But are humans really taller when they reproduce?" Gaga remembered a joke in his memory, saying that humans are creatures that are in heat every day.Although it is very speechless, it is not so unreasonable. "But who has ever heard of a woman giving birth to hundreds of babies in her lifetime, or dozens of babies at a time?"

"So, it seems that the reproductive rate of human beings is actually not high, at least compared to pigs, fish and so on." Can't help but smile, Gaga felt that it was a bit funny for me to compare human beings to those animals in the past, but I thought Think I am not one of those animals now.

So, quack 囧 rz.

"And are human beings really powerful?" Putting aside the messy thoughts, Gaga continued to think.

"There should be no doubt about this, but the only thing that is powerful in human beings is that head."

"But it was this head that allowed humans to rule the entire planet." Raising his body on all fours, Gaga moved forward a little and found a warmer place to lie down again.

Looking around, looking at the herd of Gaga beasts in full body armor, with a single horn emitting light blue light occasionally, Gaga continued to think, "However, compared with other creatures, the human body is extremely fragile. In a sense Humans are a species that exclusively develops brains."

"Then what about me, how about the quack beasts, how should I develop?" Gaga felt that the development of his species was still too chaotic.

quack - quack -

A mischievous little quack animal seemed to have a little interest in the forest, so it crawled towards the edge of the forest, but when it got close to the edge, it seemed very dissatisfied with the cold atmosphere of the forest, yelled at it a few times, then turned and returned to the herd , find the position close to the adult individual and continue to bask in the sun.

But its cry startled Quack who was lying on the rock thinking.

Looking back at the fog-shrouded forest, among the dense ferns, there seemed to be a few black shadows flashing occasionally, and the speed made Gaga wonder if he was dazzled.But since nothing came out of it, Gaga didn't think about what the other party was for the time being.

"Quack beasts need to go inland in the future, and they want to become a land race. It is definitely not possible to reproduce in water now. Then, "I looked at a bunch of them, even if they bask in the sun, they are not safe, and occasionally The scurrying juvenile quack beast "at least the way of reproduction must be on land to be called a land race."

Because of wearing it for a long time, the skin became dry. Gaga dragged his body and slowly crawled towards the water, and several quack beasts with the same problem jumped into the water one after another beside him.

"So, now, the primary goal is to change the development method to egg-born or even viviparous. However, it seems that mammals have not appeared yet. So the main thing is egg-born. There are also skin problems."

Immersed in the moist river water, the dry skin happily absorbs the water, densely covered with the water lost by the cells.

"If most of the water is lost in such a short period of time, then survival on land is just a fantasy."

"Remember what? Waterproof skin?"

Shaking his head, Quack chose a target, swung his tail and rushed towards a small fish startled by the herd of beasts in the water. This was the food for this period of time.Today's quack beasts have no problem with obtaining food, and the main thing to consider is to face the attacks of hostile creatures and natural disasters.

"At this time, if we divide into classes, we can also be considered as middle class, hehe."

"But in any case, survival is the first priority."
