Synthesize your sprite

Chapter 45 Mud Dragon
A swamp full of weeds and a few low trees appeared below.

Swamp refers to the area where the surface is too wet or there is a thin layer of perennial and seasonal water, the soil moisture is almost saturated, and there are moisture-loving and water-loving marsh plants growing.

There is a lot of peat in the swamp, and there is even poisonous miasma in the anoxic underground, but this is an easy difficulty, and there is not a lot of miasma.

This environment has two areas, one is the hard soil layer with moss, rushes, thorns and other plants growing, and the other is the muddy soil layer with accumulated water on the surface.

Li Yang named them "Zhiyu" and "Niyu".

And the synthesized elf eggs appeared in Zhiyu, the surface of the eggshell was muddy black, and the size was larger than that of the big murderous egg at that time.

After a while, the eggshell broke, and a snake-like creature appeared in front of Li Yang.

Their body shape is similar to that of the big rock snake, with a section-by-section body structure, but the body structure is no longer stone, but mud.

Their bodies are like lumps of mud, and muddy water seeps out of their bodies and drips onto the ground. They have fish fins on their backs, and their heads are similar to big rock snakes. Two long tentacles.

After careful observation, it was found that they had fish gills in their lower jaws and tails like carp kings, which indicated that they could live in water, to be precise, in muddy water.

Li Yang named them "mud dragons".

The mud dragons quickly adapted to the swamp environment. They eat almost everything, including plants, bugs, and even dirt and sand.

This kind of creature doesn't quite match Li Yang's idea. What he wants to synthesize is an elf that has the carp king gene and can also harden skills. However, the mud dragon with a clay body doesn't seem to have hardening skills.

Li Yang is not in a hurry, it's too early to make a conclusion, let's deduce it first.

The mud dragons live in the mud, and their favorite thing is to roll in it like a loach, and their strength is constantly enhanced by working with the mud.

After the members of the group were fully grown up, the first batch of competitors came, which turned out to be a group of water jumping fish.

Li Yang frowned, feeling a little uncomfortable.

The water jumping fish has slimy blue skin, orange gills on the lower jaw, and huge head and tail fins compared to its small body. It is extremely cute, but it also has great potential.

Like mud dragons, they are also amphibious elves, and they also like to roll in the mud, but compared to mud dragons whose main attributes are ground, they are single water attribute elves.

The water attribute restrains the ground attribute, and the water jumping fish has more innate advantages than the mud dragon, which is why Li Yang feels bad.

Arranging competing elves is random. If you encounter a restrained group at the beginning, it will be very detrimental to the deduction if you are frustrated at the beginning.

However, the result of their encounter made Li Yang heave a sigh of relief, the two groups did not fight at the beginning.

Water Leaping Fish is a relatively cowardly elf and will not take the initiative to attack. The Mud Dragon is also very honest. One lives in the plant area and the other lives in the mud area.

The second generation of mud dragons was born without accepting competition. Compared with the first generation, the second generation of mud dragons did not show obvious evolution.

There are two ways to evolve. One is to continuously transform the body structure or strength composition through racial reproduction, and the other is to absorb the power of evolution after winning in constant competition. The latter evolves much faster.

However, the system does not allow a simple environment without competition. The system has started to cause trouble, the water resources in the swamp have been greatly reduced, the plant area is getting wider and wider, and the mud area is shrinking.

If it is as it was at the beginning, even if the water resources are reduced, it is still not enough for the two groups to fight, but the new generation of small mud dragons have broken their shells, and they need a lot of water.

So in order to obtain water resources, the battle between the two races began.

The mud dragons attacked first, their huge bodies rolled in the muddy water, and the water jumping fish hidden in them came out to fight.

In terms of strength, the water jumping fish is simply inferior, but they have inherent advantages and have stronger water attribute power.

A series of water guns shot at the body of the mud dragon. The body made of mud was simply not strong enough to withstand the impact of such a water flow. The first round of attack was quickly repelled.

But the battle will not end like this. For the reproduction of the population, the mud dragon will not give up so easily, but their repeated attacks have not worked.

Even if the huge body swings to hit or fall rocks, the dexterous water jumping fish can always dodge, and even if they can't dodge, they can dig holes and hide strategically in the mud.

There are even some water jumping fish that have learned the skill of begging for rain. In the rain, the fighting power of the mud dragon is even more suppressed.

The mud dragon was no match for this group of water jumping fish, and chose to retreat.

However, although they can't deal with water jumping fish, they have come up with another way to obtain water resources due to their great strength.

Transform terrain.

They used their huge bodies to scrape apart the soil layer of the plant area, and piled up the excess soil. The terrain of the plant area gradually became low-lying, and the water resources flowed towards them.

The result is that the territory of the mud dragon has become a mud domain, and the territory of the water jump fish has become a vegetation domain.

Seeing this, Li Yang raised his mouth and smiled.

Although the mud dragon looks as stupid as the Big Rock Snake, but its brain is quite good. If it can't win other people's territory, it will transform its own territory. This is also an ability to adapt to the environment.

But the water jumping fish is gone. Although no matter how the system reduces the water resources, it is still a swamp environment. It is impossible to turn this into a dry land, and the vegetation area is enough for the water jumping fish to survive.

But they are obviously the stronger side, why should they compromise and live in an environment that they don't like?
And the instigator of all this is the clever mud dragon!

So the water jumping fish began to crusade against the mud dragon population, and the mud dragons suppressed by attributes still lost, and they were driven back to Zhiyu.

Due to the lack of water resources in the plantation area, the mud dragon began to change its body structure under the pressure of the environment, that is, passive evolution.

In order to reduce the loss of water, their bodies made of mud gradually hardened, and no more muddy water leaked out like the first generation, and in order to resist the water attribute attack of the water jumping fish, scales gradually appeared on the surface of the body.

The gene of the carp king began to take over the direction of evolution.

It can be seen that although Li Yang did not set the main and secondary attribute genes, because the carp king's gene was not strong enough, the evolution of the mud dragon was still dominated by the big rock snake at the beginning.

However, now under the pressure of the environment, in order to defeat the opponent, the carp king's gene played its role.

The appearance of scales can prevent the evaporation of water in the body, and can also resist water attribute attacks, but these scales are different from those of the carp king.

They are rougher and harder, and even have the power of rock attributes, which allows the mud dragon to learn the hardening skill, and it can be activated continuously.

Li Yang's eyes lit up when he saw this, this is his original intention for deducing this synthesis!

As long as this gene is fused with the cruelty, it can learn hardening skills.

"System, is it possible to extract a single gene of a certain elf for fusion?"

"Yes, but you need a sample of the elf's genetic illustration."

A reply was given in the dialog box that appeared, and Li Yang was overjoyed.

But the premise is that mud dragons can become genetic illustrations, that is, like lava birds and sea clowns, they can evolve in line with the laws of nature and be recognized by the system.

Putting away the little joy in his heart, Li Yang continued to observe the race competition between the mud dragon and the water jump fish.

The scales of the mud dragon evolved very slowly, and they could not defeat the water jumping fish. Without the power of evolution, they could only change their body structure in the process of continuous growth and reproduction. Until the fifth generation of mud dragons broke their shells, their bodies Only a layer of sparse scales appeared.

However, there was no system prompt at this time, indicating that the deduction was not complete enough.

During this period, the mud dragons still relied on brute force to change the terrain to snatch water resources. They also fought several times with the water jumping fish. They were still unable to fight at the beginning, but with the appearance of scales, the battle situation gradually reversed. ——

Until the shell of the seventh-generation little mud dragon broke.
