Fairy takeaway

After all the fuss and gossip were settled, Pepper Powder and Guo Kui left the small courtyard of Luo's family with Jin Dandan, and Luo Xiang finally freed up to talk to Hu Zhen.

And he, Ta Mi, who was hit hard, was still twitching, and plunged his head into Tanuo's arms, making a chirping sound from his mouth, like a wounded little beast, ignoring anyone no matter how coaxed.He Nuo touched his back distressedly.

Luo Xian helped Ta Nuo recruit the jay, and brought a letter to the otter family, explaining the whereabouts of Ta Mi, so that the family otters should not worry, and also asked him why Ta Mi ran away from home, so that he could persuade the little otter in a targeted manner. Little rebel.

After writing the letter, Tano still looked worried.Probably influenced by his emotions, coupled with the sudden bad news that his brother had turned into a dog, the little otter also seemed depressed.

The little sea otter hugged the little otter, came to the little boss, and looked at him for help.

Luo Xian took out a toffee from his pocket and tossed it to him.Tano coaxed him to eat the candy.

The candy is milky and full of flavor.He munched on the candy, his mood improved a lot, and he gradually relaxed.He pressed his cheek against his brother Sea Otter's chest, and secretly wiped tears on his clothes.Soon, an abstract masterpiece appeared on Tano's chest.

Only then did Ta Nuo pull out a crumpled note from Ta Ta Mi's claws.He had been curious before, how he would hide the note on his body.You must know that spirits do not have their own unique characters, they can only use human characters.Human writing is a compulsory course for every spirited person in the school.And the young Tatami can't speak, let alone read.Although he has entered Chengjing Academy early, he has always been a very poor student in the class-a student with special difficulties in learning.The characters he has learned to write now are limited to Gou Crawl and similar Gou Crawl characters.He Nuo really didn't expect to see the reason from the note.

He Nuo unfolded the note, and sure enough, the note was not written in human characters, but only a few groups of stick figures that looked like ghost symbols.He Nuo looked at it intently for a long time, and suddenly felt admiration for Huzhen's patience and ability to figure it out. He was able to decipher the correct answer from these irregular black thread balls and bring him to his destination.

Of course, his childish behavior does not mean that he is an unintelligent little monster, on the contrary, to be able to become a genius at such a young age, in addition to the legacy of his parents, it is more because he has an extremely excellent foundation .

The human brain is the culmination of the essence of the species. It is the unique gift of heaven, and it is also the source of survival for their entire population.Therefore, in order to be able to develop such a wonderful brain, in the process of selection and elimination, human beings abandoned the birth mode of cubs that matured in the mother before birth, and chose to give birth to cubs with larger brains .

Limited by the mother's body, it is difficult for human cubs to give birth naturally when their brain volume grows to a certain extent.Therefore, they can only choose to be born early and complete their later development outside the body.This means that newborn human cubs have extremely poor self-care ability, which is not as good as most animal cubs.While the cubs of ordinary animals may only need one or two years of maturity, and can even be shortened to a few months to reach sexual maturity, human cubs need to go through a long and complicated growth period before they can finally adapt to the living environment. grow into adults.This phenomenon is almost unique in nature.

Small elves who become spirits in childhood tend to slow down their growth rate and gradually approach humans, which is a symbol of their longevity with humans.He Nuo himself was born as a little monster who could only transform into a human being. The whole growth process was slow and difficult, and he could only be considered an adult when he was old.He was in the cub stage when he matured, so his situation was similar to that of Ta Nuo, and his development was also very slow. He was much smaller than the small otters of the same age, almost as if he had become a small otter race.His growth should be measured at the same level as a human pup.Therefore, in essence, he and Tami are just a kid about two years old, and it is normal that he cannot speak, speak or write.

The current Tatami can only spit out a few extremely simple words, and he may not be able to understand even complex sentences, let alone speak them out.In addition, he doesn't like to speak human language by nature, and he only likes to whine like an ordinary otter at home, which makes his language learning progress even slower.

The fact that he and Tami don't like to study once made him very anxious.He was worried that he and his friends would be repeated indefinitely because of their slow progress, and would eventually become the laughing stock of the class and be bullied by other elves.However, after all, there are very few parents who like to compare their children's academic performance in the Chengjing world. Everyone generally studies poorly, so there is nothing to compete with.He can speak with strength, and he still has the right to speak in school, and his life is extremely nourishing.As time passed, Tano no longer thought that the otter brother's language ability would be a problem.

Except for moments like the present to really communicate.

The note was spread flat in his palm.He tilted his head and studied it seriously for a long time, and began to feel a little more confident. He thought he understood it.He motioned for him to meter, pointed to the jet-black long ball of thread on the note, and then pointed to himself.

Is this drawing me?

His eyes widened, and he nodded frantically with joy.Although his brother has become a dog, he is still just as smart.

With such a breakthrough, the following pictures are easy to understand.The message on the note he carried was simply that his brother was a little sea otter who was currently living with a big scary man who had a big tree in his house - of course, the big scary man was completely He promised himself that after all, putting a big cross on the head of an extremely ugly matchstick man would not give a good image no matter how you look at it.

Hu Zhen may have guessed based on these vague images and got the correct answer by accident.There is only one little sea otter like Ta Nuo in the whole city of Maochun. As long as this is confirmed, it is not difficult to find his trace.

He Nuo thought of this, and he admired Hu Zhen even more in his heart.The other party is really a smart big cat.He looked at Huzhen, his eyes full of approval.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Hu Zhen opened his mouth, he immediately overturned all his pretentious reasoning.

"I picked him up near the entrance of the city. I just wanted to send him into the city to register with the Association of Immortals, and ask them to help find his parents. I originally planned to come to the Daluo grocery store, so I was at the fork in the road. He hesitated for a while. Unexpectedly, this little guy sensed the destination I wanted to go, looked very happy, and handed me the note. I..." Speaking of this, Hu Zhen's serious face suddenly turned pale. With a hint of embarrassment, I said, "I didn't understand... Later, I had to follow his wishes and bring him along. At this moment, I remembered that there was a sea otter in the Otter's house on the South Bank, and it probably lived in Luo's house. That one. Then this little otter probably came to look for my brother."

Even guessing, Hu Zhen really figured out the meaning of Little Otter's note.

He Nuomo changed his evaluation of Huzhen from the bottom of his heart, reducing the original high score of [-] to [-].But no matter what, Huzhen is really an excellent big cat, and he deserves to be a strong contender for the chairman of the Elite Association.

A mystery was solved, and his attention was quickly drawn away by another mystery.Hu is really a master who has been entrenched in Baiyelin for many years. Although he is superior in strength, he keeps a low profile for Hu. He usually lives in seclusion and doesn't have much contact with neighbors.He Nuo couldn't figure out why he had a relationship with the little boss.And judging by the way the two greeted each other, it was obvious that they were not new acquaintances.He Nuo remembered again that the last time at Otter's summer party, the little boss had talked with Huzhen, and the conversation was not short.

It's just too suspicious.

Hu Zhen had already sat down with Luo Xiang.He was tall and brave, he crossed his legs like a hill in the small courtyard, he was a head taller than Luo Xiang, and could almost cover him completely.

He Nuo stared at him for a long time, although Hu Zhen was very imposing, he still felt that the little boss was a million times more beautiful.

Ta Mi yawned big in Ta Nuo's arms.After going through so many periods in the morning, he was too sleepy for a long time, and his head sank little by little.

Tano hugged Ta Mi, who was already sleepy and rubbed his eyes, and approached Luo Xiang furtively. Seeing that he didn't respond, he boldly sat down beside him, and listened to the gossip.

Luo Xiang only glanced at the little sea otter out of the corner of his eye, then turned to Hu Zhen, and told him in a flat tone about the news about the vision that he got from the little crow and the cat patrol this morning.

Hearing this, Hu Zhen was silent for a long time, and after a long while, he let out a heavy sigh, his face looked quite dignified, and there was even a bit of... grief?

He Nuo didn't understand, and sneaked over his body, bringing his ears closer.

Luo Xian ruthlessly pulled the little sea otter's head aside, and said, "It's roughly like this, and it's roughly the same as what I guessed before. What's the news I want you to inquire about?"

Hu Zhen nodded, and said: "I wrote to the elders of the clan that day, but I haven't received a reply yet. In addition, the situation of the tiger clan's sperm formation in the past hundred years is indeed not optimistic. If the records are correct, they will successfully become sperm in this life And the tiger clan that has successfully transformed into humans is only me and a cub from the northern branch, but that cub is only ten years old, and its energy is very unstable. It has been kept at home and can't even go out. About five thousand miles, I'm afraid..."

I'm afraid what, Hu Zhen didn't say it clearly, and Luo Xiang didn't ask, maybe both of them knew it well.Only Tang Nuo, who didn't understand at all, scratched his ears anxiously.However, he was shocked, it turned out that the condition of the Tiger Clan's sperm formation was so poor.However, he only thought about it for a while before he figured it out.

The probability of sperm formation of each species population is different. According to human standards, it can be simply described as a population with higher IQ (developed brain), more complete evolution, or a population that is closer to human characteristics. will rise.Therefore, mammalian populations generally have a higher sperm ratio, while plants are extremely difficult to sperm.

For example, if otters are not subdivided into species such as smooth-coated otters and small-clawed otters, generally speaking, the proportion of fertilization can be maintained at about [-]/[-].In other words, under ideal conditions, about [-] otters can produce one sperm.And if the parents are both spermatozoa, the proportion of offspring appearing as spermatozoa will be greatly increased.

If human beings are asked to study the sperm formation of animals, they will probably be very surprised, because one in ten thousand is really a very high probability.With reference to this probability value, wouldn't it be quite common to find sperm otters in the Chinese mainland?However, this is not the case. Human beings have not yet discovered the existence of spirits. First of all, of course, because of the protection of the original covenant, spirits are not easy to be exposed to human beings.The second reason is that, in fact, there are very few people who have become refined, and they are still showing signs of decline.

The main reason for the latter is that the populations of the species on which the spermatozoa rely are shrinking and disappearing, and some are even on the verge of extinction.After all, no matter how high the proportion of sperm becomes, the base number is small, and the number of successful sperms will decrease accordingly, and the probability of being able to pass on the blood of sperm will also drop sharply.

Taking otters as an example, before the 50s, domestic otter populations spread all over the country, from Northeast China to South China, and humans could even easily see them in most areas.In terms of the number of otters at that time, they were indeed not bad.However, after that, as humans hunted otters for their fur on a large scale, the number of wild otters shrank sharply, and it was almost impossible to find them.

From the 50s to the 80s, in less than 30 years, otters were culled on a large scale. This era is also called the dark slaughter period of otters.Otter father and otter mother are the survivors of that period. At the end of the 80s, some rational humans decided to stop this brutal massacre, promulgated the Wildlife Protection Law, and listed the otter as a second-class national protected animal.However, the number of wild otters has not rebounded due to the disappearance of the slaughter period.Water pollution and overfishing brought by humans have harmed the source of survival of otters.

After this ordeal, the vitality of the otter race was severely damaged, and it was difficult to regain its prosperity.Today, they are only slightly distributed in a few inaccessible areas with good natural conditions.It is also because of this that the number of otters today is not optimistic. As a result, it is difficult for an excellent otter like Brother Otter to find a suitable partner, and it becomes difficult to continue the blood of the otter. .

This is true of otters, and tigers, which have always been known as precious medicinal materials, are frequently in crisis. In addition, due to their large size and fierce fighting power, humans regard tigers as natural enemies of beasts, and they have never stopped hunting them.Huzhen's original race, the South China tiger, was originally a unique subspecies of tiger in China. It is one of the bloodlines of the ancient Chinese cat, the closest direct ancestor of the tiger family, and it has completely disappeared in the wild.Since Huzhen was born, he has never seen anyone of the same kind except his parents.Therefore, even though the practice of the Tiger Clan originally had unique advantages, very few of them could become elite.Unexpectedly, it has now reached the predicament of only two sages in 100 years.

All kinds of stories of genocide are constantly being staged among different races, and the content is similar.The small number of areas where the spirits gathered gradually shrank, and retreated to a field where it was difficult for humans to reach.The forested area around Maochun City is one of them.In addition, the north, the south, the east and the west each have a collection of fines, with different sizes and different strengths, lingering in this barren land where the spiritual power has collapsed.

Human beings directly or indirectly affect the existence of other non-human races.Of course, there are also righteous people among human beings who have lofty aspirations and devote themselves to the noble cause of species rescue.It's just that for the spirits, human help can't make them out of trouble.Facts have proved that no matter what species of cubs, if they have too much contact with humans during their birth and larval period, or if they are in a dense human environment, they will be subtly affected, and they will easily lose their ability to become sperm naturally. Chance.This is also the reason why it is so rare to see cubs born in zoos become sperm.

In this regard, the giant panda is a good example. It is said that so far, no giant panda has been found to become sperm.You can't even mate as you want, and the breeding process of a species that has attracted thousands of people's attention is under the nose of human beings. Even members in the wild are closely monitored. It is really difficult to make a breakthrough.

Among human pets, the situation is slightly different.The fertilization ratio of domestic pets is also much lower than that of wild pets, especially for pet breeds specially bred for human preference.However, among them, the proportion imbalance of domestic cats is more prominent, and the number of semen produced by domestic dogs is far greater than that of domestic cats.It can be seen from the composition of the Jing Association that the proportion of breed dogs in the dog faction headed by Mr. Malatang is still very high.In the cat group, there are almost all Chinese pastoral cats, among which the proportion of stray cats is very high.Of course, cats and dogs in the city will more or less have adventures when they become sperm, so as to offset the disadvantages given by humans.

When he Nuo thought of this, he couldn't help becoming curious.When he was a child, he heard from Brother Otter that there was such a message circulating in the spirit world that cats and tigers made great contributions when Pangu opened the world, or when Nuwa mended the sky, or when Dayu controlled the water, so this The descendants of the two races will be favored by heaven when they practice to become spiritual, and they will have more advantages than other races.As for which mythical story this "time" is, every storyteller has his own opinion, so there are many versions so far, each of which is different, and it all depends on preference.Unexpectedly, in terms of the status quo of becoming fine, these two groups are the most problematic.

While he was thinking wildly, on the other end, the conversation between Hu Zhen and Luo Xiang was still going on.

"It's just..." Hu Zhen hesitated, as if he was considering his words, "As far as I know, it was more than 800 years ago that the aura of 'him' completely dissipated. The clan elders have always kept their promises and never neglected their duties. There has indeed been no fluctuations in the past hundred years. Could it be another mystery?"

He didn't want to admit it.Because if this is the case, it is a sign that the evil spirits are making a comeback again, heralding the coming of another catastrophe.The Chengjing world is already riddled with holes, and it is difficult to protect itself. It really cannot withstand the next ordeal. Maybe during this period, they will all be wiped out and become history.This is a catastrophe that all spirits, including Hu Zhen, are unwilling to face.

He Nuo couldn't help shaking his ears a few times, wondering who that "he" was curiously.

After hearing this, Luo Xiang just smiled and replied: "I don't know if there is another mystery, but I can't let go of the most likely possibility."

Hu Zhen sighed, understood, and agreed again. "If there is any news, I will report it again. If... If there is anything, don't worry, our Tiger Clan will take the lead and never shirk."

Luo Xian nodded and said, "Thank you."

Hu Zhen bid farewell, and handed an envelope to Luo Xiang before leaving.

The little sea otter pretended to be full of doubts, thought for a while, put the little brother aside, and wanted to follow Luo Xiang.But soon, he was woken up by his actions, rubbed his eyes and sat up by himself, clamoring to find his brother.He Nuo quickly went back to coax him.

Luo Xie frowned, he didn't like rat-like creatures that chirped.His cold gaze looked him up and down, and he said cruelly, "It's too thin."

Luo Xiang's inherent predatory wildness made him feel a great crisis in an instant.Trembling, he shrunk himself into a ball, trying to reduce his sense of existence.

He Nuo also quickly understood the upset of the little boss.Almost at the same moment, he remembered that when the little boss first saw him, he also regarded his younger brother as food.He begged for mercy, brother is not food.It's a pity that the sound made is only barking.He had no choice but to hold his younger brother in his arms, raised his head and eagerly pleaded with Luo Xiang.

Luo Xian and the little sea otter stared at each other silently, persisted for a while, and finally made a cut, turned their heads, and no longer stared at him like they were staring at food.

Ta Nuo let out a long breath, lowered his head and patted Ta Mi's little head, and said to himself, you have to be good, otherwise both of us will be kicked out.

I don't know if Ta Nuo sensed Ta Nuo's worry, he suddenly pushed away Tan Nuo's embrace, stood up straight, opened his arms, stepped on a small stone with one hind leg, stomped his feet heroically, like a Wu Song The majestic posture of fighting a tiger.

If you put aside the two hot tears in his eyes that were about to burst the embankment and the unconsciously trembling tail, this posture of him is quite heroic.

He Nuo widened his eyes and looked at his younger brother curiously, not understanding why he did this all of a sudden.

I saw him patting his fleshy chest hard with his cold paws, making a sound like hitting jelly, then opened his mouth wide and roared:

woof - woof - woof -

He promises to be stupid.His younger brother also started barking.He was about to step forward to grab him, but he pushed him away.

He ran to the sandy place in the yard and began to dance with his arms and legs.He landed on both feet, waving his forelimbs, shaking his head, and seemed to be doing a strange dance.If you look carefully, you can find that he is not dancing, but drawing weird symbols on the sand with the tip of his tail.

He Nuo squatted on the ground, carefully studied the symbols for a long time, and finally determined that the ghostly symbols drawn by Ta Mi on the sand represented sea otters, which were basically the same as the balls of thread he left on the note.He nodded, indicating that he understood what he and tami meant.

Sure enough, he, Tami, became happy, continued his efforts, and drew a smaller ghost symbol next to the sea otter symbol.He Nuo mobilized his super associative ability and thought it was the image of a little otter.

Dangdangdang—he guessed right again!

He used a big circle to enclose the two abstract painting-style ghost symbols, then raised his neck, pinched his waist with his claws, and barked loudly again.

The master connoisseur Ta Nuo tasted carefully and finally came to a conclusion.

He is proclaiming loudly that he will not be an otter anymore, but will be a fearless dog with his brother!
