Chapter 643 Adaptation and Evolution
Chapter 643 Adaptation and Evolution
"Mushroom Beast" said that after the apocalypse, she and her tribesmen left their ruined hometown, wanting to find a way to save their eroded hometown.
In this process, many tribesmen who were also eroded fell down and turned into rusty red dead zones.
Later they discovered that mushroom beasts were the life form that best adapted to this land, so they also "grew" towards this life form, gradually becoming like mushroom beasts and integrating into their tribe.
Kong, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke out the question he had been thinking about, "Some mushroom beasts in some areas are smarter than most. Is it because of you?"
The organizers of the Yuelian Cup Animal Tamer Competition designated an area for capturing mushroom beasts, saying that the mushroom beasts in that area are smarter and gentler.
Nashida pinched her chin, "I was also led here by a brave little mushroom beast to help rescue her."
The "Mushroom Beast" gently patted the little mushroom beast beside him, "It is indeed related to us. Although it is a mushroom beast, it is indeed my child."
Nashida suddenly realized, "Mimicry... no, it's adaptive evolution."
Then, some mushroom beast tribes became smarter and stronger than other mushroom beasts because they had the genes of higher-level elemental creatures.
Paimon was puzzled, "What do you mean by adaptive evolution, Narcida?"
"In order to survive in a harsh environment, organisms will change their form according to the environment."
Nashida gave an example, "For example, the root system of Xumi roses in barren areas will be more developed and strong, and the grass dragon lizards will evolve into sandworms because of the desert environment..."
“Wait wait wait wait!” Su made a pause gesture, “Grass dragon lizard –> sandworm?!”
That ugly long insect that runs around in the sand and bumps into people is actually a grass dragon lizard?!
Is this really evolution? If the grass dragon lizard looks like this, won’t the grass dragon be uglier?
Nashida honestly revealed: "The Grass Dragon Apep is the most adaptable creature in the world. With the western part of Xumi turning into a desert, Apep should have also undergone corresponding adaptive evolution..."
Su put on a mask of pain, and his vague expectations for Cao Long completely disappeared at this moment.
Paimon comforted her gently, "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay. As for the lovely dragon, Su already has the Count of Tuo Tuo, right?"
Su felt wronged and dissatisfied! "But I still need a big and majestic dragon mount!"
Paimon continued to comfort him, "It's okay, it's okay, the dragons from the Grass Kingdom are not good looking. We can look at the dragons from the Water Kingdom later."
Kong thought of the prophecy he saw in the White Night Kingdom and was hesitant to speak.
In the end, it turned into a blessing smile, "Su will definitely have a great dragon mount."
Su believed what Kong said and began to imagine what equipment he should equip his dragon mount with in advance.
Back to business, the "Fungus Beast" asks the King of Grass to save her hometown.
"We have always believed and waited for the King of Grass to fulfill his promise."
Nashida seemed to be lost in thought, recalling the elemental force she had sensed when she had just rescued this special "mushroom beast", and took out an unknown crystal that had the same source of its power.
"This is what I found when I was searching my private vault."
Nashida needed some precious metals and gems when designing clothes for the traveler team, so she searched her private vault which had not been opened for more than 500 years, and found this unknown crystal in the corner.
The crystal in Nashida's hand was like a gem with branches and an unquenchable flame burning inside.
The "Mushroom Beast" looked at the crystal with nostalgia, as if he was looking at countless tribesmen.
The Mushroom Beast said with certainty: "Although part of my memory and knowledge was cleared along with the pollution, I can be sure that this is the agreement we made with the King of Grass."
Nashida looked at the crystal in her hand and said seriously: "Since I made the promise, I will definitely fulfill it." Although she didn't remember it.
Su put on the mask of pain again. Things had come to this point, was there anything she still couldn't understand?
It was clear that Nashida inherited everything left by the Great Compassionate Tree King, including her unfulfilled promise.
Sue: "Let's go with Nashida. I have to go on this journey today!"
Nashida smiled sweetly, "I know everyone is worried about my safety..."
Paimon: "So Narcida, don't let us worry. Let's go together."
Kong also nodded. Although he knew that Nashida was a god and not as fragile as she looked, looking at her small figure, how could he not be worried?
A group of people decided to take a walk to the "Mushroom Beast's" hometown and help save her hometown.
The Mushroom Beast was very happy. "Thank you, King of Grass. It's great that you chose to trust and wait patiently. Thank you to the kind heroes. You are worthy of being chosen by the King of Grass."
Although the "Fungus Beast" had forgotten the location of her home due to the elimination of forbidden knowledge, one of her tribesmen sealed her away as a safety measure.
Before looking for that tribe member to ask for the address of her hometown, "Mushroom Beast" wanted to say goodbye to her mushroom beast family first.
Wild mushroom beasts are afraid of humans. In order to avoid alerting and causing conflict, Nashida learned how to transform into a mushroom beast with the help of the "mushroom beasts".
Su hugged the chubby "Naxi Mushroom" that was imitating the talking mushroom beast and kept petting it, "So cute! Especially when it was imitating the mushroom beast's 'na na'!"
Su thinks this kind of "Naxi mushroom" is super cute! It is 10,000 times cuter than all the mushrooms in the whole Xumi combined!
In order to play with the "Naxi Mushroom" for a while longer, Su turned into Su the cat, and one cat and two "mushrooms" went to the mushroom beast gathering area together, while Paimon and Kong were waiting in the distance.
The "Naxi Mushroom" looked around curiously all the way. It was a novel and wonderful experience to observe the ecological environment of mushroom animals from the perspective of mushroom animals.
Moreover, the mushroom beasts here are indeed very different. They are more intelligent than mushroom beasts elsewhere. They have even learned how to take care of plants and have shown rudimentary planting behaviors.
Normally, mushroom animals and wild beasts live in harmony without interfering with each other. But when they saw Su Mao clinging to the "Naxi mushroom" all the way, they all came over to watch out of curiosity.
Then in the next moment, Su Mao, who was surrounded by mushroom beasts, was abducted by a kind-hearted handsome man passing by.
"Naxi Fungus" followed the figure carrying Su Mao and flew away for two steps, "Na, na na!" Wait, wait!
Kong and Paimon, who were waiting outside the mushroom beast gathering area, also saw the figure flying through the air.
Paimon put his hands on the pergola, "Have you seen him more often recently? Does he have no classes recently?"
Before Kong could say anything, Nashi Mushroom floated over, "Hey, eh...! No! Susu the cat has been taken away!"
Su Mao, with his neck grabbed, looked at the rapidly flowing scenery below his feet and thought deeply: If I turn around and scratch his face now, will I be thrown down?
Long's flying speed was very fast, and he arrived at his destination in a short time. He dropped from mid-air into a garden, and the cats nearby all pounced on him, meowing.
A figure in a long apron walked out of the house, "When I saw how excited the little ones were, I guessed that Mr. A-Mao was here. Did he find another cat?"
Long hummed and picked up the cat in his hand, "I don't know how a stupid cat got into the mushroom beast pile."
Veins popped out on the "stupid cat's" forehead.
