Ninja World: Insect Princess from Konoha.

Chapter 314
The Eve swarm will establish a base in Mt. Miaomu, serving as a frontier investigation base, and will not cause damage to the environment of Mt. Miaomu, let alone prey on toads.

No need.

One of Maggie's main purposes is biological research, and fishing for tadpoles is one of them.

After putting down Eve's swarm, Meiji started to stroll around Mt. Miaomu, and Jiraiya followed behind Meiji.

Roughly speaking, the types of creatures are very rich.

Not to mention the giant plants that can be seen everywhere, there are also giant mushrooms that can be seen everywhere.

Although mushrooms look like plants, they are not plants.

Among these giant plants, Maggie saw many giant ferns, among them, many bryophytes and ferns were unusually huge.

All kinds of huge leaves hang down above the head, like giant umbrellas.

For a while, it was like coming to the giant kingdom in a fairy tale.

Meggie stopped and looked at the giant plant in front of her.

This is a spinosa, and not far from there is a cycad, which looks like a palm tree.

Belongs to gymnosperms.

Dream back to the Jurassic.

Meiji continued to stroll among the vegetation. There were many types of insects. Compared with the same kind of insects outside, most of them were larger, and insects as big as palms could be seen everywhere.

Therefore it can be called huge.

But small animals are normal. There are no large predators in the forest, and most of them are various types of rats in bulk.

Its obvious feature is that the species is primitive.

Compared with its relatives outside, there have been more than thousands of years of evolutionary differences.

This primitiveness also occurs in plants.

The first plants were algae, they lived in the water, and as they evolved, they gradually climbed the ground, covering the barren land with green.

This type is the original fern. Then, the plants continued to evolve, and the more excellent gymnosperms came to the fore.

Angiosperms are better than gymnosperms.

Simply put, it is a non-flowering and flowering plant. The most obvious feature of angiosperms is the genitals and flowers.

In the outside world, it can be said that ferns and gymnosperms cannot beat the mainstream angiosperms, and their living space is seized.

On Mt. Myogi, on the contrary, Miki didn't see many flowering plants.

Therefore, there is a conspicuous feature here, primitive.

Are the bugs primitive here too?
No.

It's a sad fact to say that many kinds of bugs haven't evolved for a long time.

For example, dragonflies, except for changes in body shape, have not changed at all in terms of body structure. To some extent, they have evolved perfectly.

Even Meiji didn't start with this perfect structure.

In addition, the creatures here have a common feature.

huge.

It is normal for plants to grow huge. The plants here are because there are no angiosperms competing for living space, so they grow bigger than their relatives outside, all thanks to their peers.

It is normal for mushrooms to grow huge. What is the largest creature in the world?

Whale?

It's a mushroom.

Because of the less intense competition in this closed ecology, mushrooms can grow as they please.

As for the size of the insect, it may depend on the concentration of oxygen, but Meiji did not notice any abnormality in oxygen.

And don't the little animals want to grow huge?

No, they thought, the problem is that the living environment is harsh.

It is this group of toads that occupy the apex of the ecological niche here.

And the smallest of these toads, compared to their relatives in the outside world, is also terrifyingly large, a veritable giant beast.

So, wouldn't it be nice to dig a hole and climb a tree to eat bugs with a small body?

Fragrant!
The toads here are not vegetarian, they will be eaten when they grow up, that's right.

In addition, Meiji did not find that the odd-toed ungulates, that is, vegetarian animals such as cows and horses, are mostly omnivorous and not picky eaters.

In the end, Meggie hasn't seen the grass yet.

How to say grass, it's quite grassy, ​​but it's not something that ordinary creatures can deal with. Once it grows, the animals and toads here will be finished.

After strolling down, Meiji found that this ecological circle was also transformed into a highly specialized one, but it was harmless.

Among them, gigantism seems to have another reason.

Moreover, because it is in a barren mountain, the soil quality is not very good. The scarce fertile land causes most plants to grow densely, or to be sparsely distributed in one place and one place in the west.

Plants occupy places with good soil quality, and the bare ground is hard loess.

constitute a unique ecological environment.

Ji Lai also followed behind Meiji like an asshole, and Meiji strolled aimlessly, purely looking like a tourist.

At this time, Maggie came to a pond, and the sound of the nearby waterfall was deafening.

There are large patches of frog eggs floating in the pond.

Speaking of which, it is also the season of frog breeding.

After looking at it for a while, these eggs are very big, and logically speaking, the later development will also be very large. Meiji licked her lips and had to study how the meat quality is.

Meiji psychic out of the net pocket, ready to fish some up.

"Stop!!!" He rushed towards Meiji, Jilai also opened his hands to stop Meiji, and shouted in a broken voice: "What are you going to do to other people's children!!!"

Miki stared at Jiraiya.

Looking at the scorched and terrifying mask on Meiji's face, Jiraiya subconsciously took a step back.

"That's right, you can't steal it." Meiji said, "I'll exchange it with their adults later."

Which family's adults would exchange their children!

Jilai also didn't know what to say for a moment, thinking that there must be something wrong with Meiji's mind.

"You can't even buy it!!!" Ji Lai also yelled.

Meiji took the net bag, turned and left.

Seeing Meiji give up, Zilai couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, nervously following Meiji's footsteps, for fear that she would do something terrible.

The two walked one after the other, continuing to be silent.

Until Meiji said aloud: "Zi Lai Ye."

"Why?" Zilai also replied.

"Do you think why ninjas fight each other?" Miki asked.

Why are you asking this question all of a sudden?

Ji Lai was also a little confused for a while, then he thought about it, and said after a while: "Probably because of hatred."

"Maybe." Meggie said, "How do you think hatred should be eliminated?"

Jilai also frowned and thought hard, he was a little unable to answer, and after a long while, he said: "It should be mutual understanding, just like Tsunade always beats me, I am very angry, but I will always forgive her, so is Orochimaru, Mr. He looked down on me and thought I was a fool, but my uncle is magnanimous and can forgive him."

"As expected of you." Meggie said, "Typical idiot speech."

"What, do you have a better way?" Zilai refused to accept.

"Human beings are forgetful creatures, they only look at the present and don't care about the past and the future." Meiji said: "The so-called hatred can be completely forgotten by three generations."

"Impossible!" Zilai also said.

Meiji turned her head and glanced at Jiraiya, and said: "Grandpa's grandpa's hatred, do I want to kill the other's grandson's grandson, do you think it is reasonable? I really have a relationship with this person who has never met before." Revenge?"

"This" Ji Lai also frowned and thought, and finally said anxiously: "You are sophistry!"

"Really." Meggie said indifferently: "Hatred or something is just an excuse. You haven't seen the essence of the matter clearly. The crux of the problem is the root of the conflict."

"Hate is just a byproduct."

"What?" Zilai also asked blankly.

"The root is for survival." Meiji said: "It is the natural selection caused by limited natural resources, survival of the fittest."

Jilai also felt that he didn't understand, and looked at the back of Miki in front of him.

"The ninja world is too small to support so many people."

"Therefore, it is not man but nature that man must overcome."

"Transform the environment, create more resources, and feed more people."

Meiji stopped and looked at the two toads on a huge toad statue in front of her.

"what do y'all think?"

"Don't you think Miaomu Mountain is too small, there is no way to feed more toads."

Maggie said.

The pupils of the two Toad Immortals shrank when they heard this.

"Watching a child die is painful, isn't it?"

"And the human world outside dare not set foot easily."

"It's really sad. The ethnic group is trapped in a small world, and they don't know when they will die."

"Advocacy is a good strategy."

"But, too stingy and cautious."

Immortal Toad and his wife looked at Meiji and asked in a deep voice, "Where are you?"

"Guess." Meggie chuckled lightly.

Immortal Toad and his wife were suffocated upon hearing this.

"It's Chongji! Oil girl Chongji! My classmate! Konoha's ninja!" Jiraiya hurriedly tried to smooth things over, fearing that he would do it.
