Deep Space Evolution: Clans

Chapter 11 The ethnic group is multiplying

Time passes slowly while eating.

The large number and lack of pickiness about food allowed the reptile fish group to successfully occupy a huge area like the seagrass area in this sea area in just one week.

Yuan also gave this new sea area a new name, and the style was still simple and crude.

Warm seas.

Although there are not many lives that can defeat the entire group in the current warm sea, there are occasionally large predators passing by and preying on the reptile fish group.

Just like the toothfish.

These large predators are not only powerful in combat, but also move extremely fast.

It's simply not the kind that Yuan can catch up with.

Faced with these large predators, Yuan had no way to stop them.

The gap in the food chain cannot be changed in a short time.

At least Yuan will have to evolve for a while if he wants to hunt these large predators.

First of all, you have to at least catch up.

If the reptile fish population could catch up with these large predators now, then these predators would not include reptile fish in their diet at all.

Because this will be a group of species that can threaten their lives.

And Yuan thought so too.

So during this period of time, Yuan ate all the life that could be hunted in this area.

They are all species that some Yuan thinks can help him in swimming.

Now, at least for now.

Yuan's swimming speed has become much faster.

Whether it's the tail of the fish behind him or the webs obtained from this sea area, they are all of great help to Yuan.

Of course, perhaps the most important thing is the tail of the pterygoid fish.

When this huge tail grows up, it will be of great help to Yuan in swimming!
Now Yuan can easily throw away his blood relatives far away.

Yuan also conducted a statistics during this period.

Among the entire group, those whose main evolutionary direction is swimming are now called swimmers in the group. The current number exceeds three hundred.

Then came the leapers who were still mainly crawling, with extremely powerful limbs and more outstanding body shapes. Their number exceeded [-].

But the ones with the largest number of evolutions were the crustaceans that evolved during this period. Their number exceeded imagination, exceeding a thousand.

These blood relatives who have strong scales growing on their bodies are all tough.

Yuan doesn't know how these guys evolved.

Maybe it was the evolutionary inspiration that came from watching him shed his scales.

Perhaps they saw their blood relatives being attacked frequently when they first explored the seagrass area, so they wanted to grow a hard shell to protect the group.

Of course, the greater possibility is that after experiencing attacks again and again, the blood relatives are injured more often and the scales are renewed faster.

So the scales are getting stronger and stronger.

And during this period, the group caught a lot of shrimps and squids.

Although there is no evolutionary catalog, Yuan thought that blood relatives should be able to preserve the shrimp and squid carapace genes when they eat shrimp and squid.

After all, the crustacean's carapace looks a lot like that of a shrimp and squid.

The emergence of the Carapace also made the population decline no longer so rapid.

At least a large part of the population decline caused by biological attacks in the seagrass areas has been reduced.

Even if the crustaceans who explore the outermost layer of the group are attacked by creatures living in the seagrass area, they can still survive by using their strong shells.

This ensures that the remaining blood relatives in the group will not be harmed.

In the long-term behavior of eating seaweed, the appetites of blood relatives gradually began to adapt to these plants.

Especially the crustaceans.

Because they have been eating seaweed and other plants for a long time, they have almost completely become herbivores.

Of course, the opposite is the leaper. The blood relatives in this evolutionary direction are still keen on eating meat.

They often leave the seagrass area in groups, crawling on the seabed or among the rocks on the seabed, hiding in secret corners, waiting for food to pass by.

Then it quickly strikes out and eats the food.The swimmer remains the same as before.

They can eat anything.

Eat whatever you can catch, and if you can't catch it, eat seaweed.

Just like Yuan.

Wanderers can be said to be the blood relatives closest to Yuan in their living habits.

Of course, there are also a group of blood relatives who have not evolved yet.

They remain the same, nothing has changed.

As for the specific reason, Yuan seemed to understand a little bit when he saw them performing genetic behaviors in the seaweed area.

Reproduce.

But what's interesting is that those blood relatives who have experienced evolution have no intention of joining in reproduction.

They still insist on their own evolution.

Evolution seems to inhibit their instinct to reproduce.

Even Yuan himself has no idea of ​​reproduction.

Reproduction in individuals who have begun to evolve is not a priority at all.

Even after evolution begins, their reproductive organs will enter a temporarily closed state until evolution ceases completely.

Like Yuan, if he continues to evolve, Yuan will not perform any reproduction behavior at all.

Yuan didn't understand why.

But this does not prevent him from observing the behavior of his own tribe.

In Yuan's impression, evolution is important, but the reproduction of the population is equally important.

Because the number of ethnic groups is an important criterion for measuring whether an ethnic group is strong.

Therefore, when the ethnic group is reproducing, Yuanhui specially asks those carapace people to protect the blood relatives during the reproduction.

At the same time, let the leapers and swimmers try their best to ensure the food source of these blood relatives during reproduction.

Ensure food and safety so that these blood relatives can reproduce with peace of mind.

As the number of groups increases, the number of different evolutions that can occur will naturally increase.

Yuan is looking forward to whether his group will develop a fourth different evolutionary direction.

As for Yuan itself.

Except for the still similar limbs, the rest of the parts no longer bear much resemblance to the ethnic group.

After physical evolution, his body length is even twice as long as those of leapers.

You know, the body length of a leaper is twice that of an ordinary reptile.

Although Yuan's tail fin occupies a considerable proportion of it.But it is conceivable that today's Yuan can be regarded as a junior giant in the ocean.

And the carapace on Yuan Ti's surface was evolved by him again.

Now it's black and shiny.

This kind of performance means that the hardness of this thing is not simple in the eyes of those marine creatures.

At the same time, his strong limbs and fast enough speed also make Yuan Ziran one of the top predators in this area.

Of course, this is also because the creatures in this area are not that powerful.

Almost all of the blood relatives that Yuan saw in the picture of snakes had huge sizes and powerful attack capabilities.

compared with them.

The creatures in this sea, including Yuan, are like young children.

Yuan looked at his tribe and thought in his mind: "We still need to become stronger, but this level is simply not enough."

Just as Yuan was thinking, a black shadow passed over his head.

Without even looking, Yuan knew that this was the hard-toothed fish that was still wandering in this sea area.

This guy comes to the area where the group lives almost every day just to prey on his blood relatives.
