Farming, laughing and raising cubs

The two snails crawled on the ground, and after advancing for a short distance, Fang Ru also discovered that the speed of the other was not as fast as his own, so he slowed down intentionally or unintentionally.

Fang Ru seemed to ask unintentionally: "Are all the snail cubs on the river bank born by snails in the thorn fruit community? Will there be snails in that tribe to give birth on the other side of the stream?"

"The snails of our tribe are all born here. It is impossible for any snails to go to the other side. That side is not our territory. If there are lightning snails on the other side, they should be eggs laid by wild snails. Those eggs will basically not differentiate. You don't need to pay attention to them." When Jiuzhu delivered the news, he still brought some disdain.

Fang Ru could hear from this sentence that the snails in these tribes seemed to have a certain rejection of wild snails, which he could not figure out from a sentence for the time being.

At the same time, he also guessed his identity, maybe he and his snail brothers are the eggs laid by the so-called wild snails.

Although I have learned from the sparrows that the differentiated races are somewhat repulsive to the same race from outside, but after personally confirming it, I am still a little disappointed.

Fang Ru let go of his uncomfortable feeling, and continued to ask: "Does the area beside the stream and just now belong to the tribe?"

"It cannot be regarded as the scope of the tribe, it can only be regarded as the scope of obtaining food."

"It's dangerous for those snail cubs to stay outside the tribe, right? Why don't they lay their eggs in the tribe?"

"It is still uncertain whether the newborn snails will differentiate. Of course, they cannot be born in the tribe. They will be taken back to the tribe after they differentiate. If they cannot differentiate, they cannot enter the tribe."

"What about the undifferentiated snails?" Fang Ru saw snail cubs around here. If those undifferentiated snails were not in the tribe, where did they go?

Jiu Zhu turned his head and looked at Fang Ru, feeling that the question was a little redundant: "What else can I do? Snails without movement skills generally can't go far, and they are either eaten or expelled. Anyway, there is no differentiation. Snails generally don't live very long."

The life here will not be very long. In addition to the natural death of the body, more accidental death, even the loss of life may be lost just after birth.The snails that have not died will be expelled from the scope of obtaining food after they grow to a certain extent. After all, if the adult snails continue to stay, they may pose a threat to the newborn snails.

The newly hatched cubs are very fragile. Although they will not keep their cubs around, they hope that there will be more differentiated snails, rather than letting newborn snails become the rations of adult snails. .

Fang Ru continued to ask: "Why can't undifferentiated snails enter the tribe?"

Jiuzhu: "Do you still need to ask? The snails lay so many eggs at a time. If they all stay, where will the tribe live? Where will there be enough food?"

It is indeed necessary to consider the actual situation. Fang Ru thought about it. It seems that even if he and Xiaopang became members, the tribe would not allow them to bring their brothers.Even snails born in the same family are not eligible to live in the tribe, and wildly differentiated snails like them are even less likely to be an exception.

Fang Ru was thinking about something, but he heard Jiuzhu add: "Besides, eating snails of the same family has a better chance of getting differentiated. In the same nest of snails, there can be at least three or four differentiated snails, but in the end There may only be a dozen or so snails that survive in this clutch.” And there may be [-] to [-] eggs in a clutch that can hatch successfully.

This sounds a bit cruel, and Fang Ru felt a little uncomfortable, but he had to admit that the tribe's approach was indeed correct.

Thinking of Xiaopang wanting to eat himself when he was just born, it seems that this is also an instinct carved into his genes.

After the two snails crawled for a certain distance, Jiuzhu said again: "I have recovered a little bit of strength, let me take you there again."

After speaking, he took Fang Ru and teleported to another place.

This is the tribe that Jiuzhu said. Outside the tribe, Fang Ru saw the towering peacock blue baobab trees in the tribe, and there should be quite a few of them.

Jiu Zhu looked at Fang Ru: "This is the thorn fruit community."

Fang Ru inquired about some situations, and only then did he know what they meant by the community.Lightning snails basically live in the peacock blue baobab tree, but although the peacock blue baobab tree is also in groups, it is not connected in a large area, but divided into small pieces.Thus, each small patch of baobabs is equivalent to a colony.

Each community has a corresponding production area, and the streamside is also divided into several places. The area near the streamside before him is a common production site for the thornberry community.

The name of the community is based on the main food in their community. The reason why the thorn fruit community is called this name is precisely because the thorn fruit grows the most on their community site and is the main source of food.

Each community is connected internally, and the various communities add up to their tribe of lightning snails.

This is a bit equivalent to the feeling that a city is divided into counties and towns, and the town is divided into several villages.

After Fang Ru was brought into this tribe, he was a little nervous. After all, he was not a snail of this tribe.

According to the Lightning Snail here, he is an outsider...

Before they entered the tribe, they saw a lightning snail flashing in front of them.

It was an older snail. Although it was only one meter in size, the snail shell on its body was much thicker than theirs, and the color was slightly yellowish, a color left by the precipitation of time. .

This snail is the snail that guards the thorn fruit community today. When it saw Jiuzhu bringing a strange snail over, it came out to inquire about the situation.

Jiuzhu explained to the old snail: "I went out today to see if my father gave birth to newborn cubs to see if any of them had successfully differentiated. In the end, I saw this one that had already differentiated. He has grown so big, it must not be my father this year. The eggs laid, he said he was a lightning snail by the stream, and the production place closest to our community is the production place of your thornberry tribe, so I took him to have a look."

Fang Ru was a little dazed when he heard 'father lays eggs', and then he thought of something, snails seem to be androgynous...

According to the characteristics of their race, the father is actually equivalent to the role of the mother.

Fang Ru had some headaches, he changed his back and became a hermaphrodite, ah!In fact, he still wanted to maintain his dignity as a man.

The old snail glanced at Fang Ru, a little puzzled: "Why did he come back after growing up so big? Don't we often check on the cubs? How come such a big cub has not been found?"

Jiuzhu just saw that Fang Ru was brought back by the way. As for the old snail's question, he said: "I don't know about this. He has grown so big, it must have been half a year, right? Go back and ask." Which snails lay eggs outside during this time."

Fang Ru thought to himself, I haven't had half a year, and I think I'm the bigger one.

The old snail thinks about it, so he doesn't say anything more about Fang Ru's identity.

After Jiu Zhu sent Fang Ru to him, he left in another direction, leaving only Fang Ru and the old snail behind.

The old snail walked in front: "You follow me into the community first, and then we will see which cub you are from."

Fang Ru followed behind the old snail with a guilty conscience, thinking about some miscellaneous things, would he just recognize a father indiscriminately?Will he be exposed again?

For the sake of being of the same race, even if these lightning snails find out that they are not snails in their group, they should let themselves leave, right?Fang Ru felt apprehensive, and was brought into the group.

There are a lot of plants growing in the community, and the one that grows the most is a red fruit with thorns all over its body.

According to the shape of this fruit, it should be the so-called thorn fruit.This thorn is similar to a fruit on earth - rambutan.

However, the thorns of this kind of fruit are straighter. Compared with the fruit, it is more like red sea urchins.

It looks like it's covered in thorns, and I don't know how to bite or pick it.

Fang Ru asked the old snail: "Can I pick a thorny fruit to see? I have never seen such a fruit."

The old snail was not too stingy with a fruit, so he allowed Fang Ru to pick it.

Fang Ru was not greedy either. He bit off the stem of a fruit with his mouth, and the thorn fruit fell from the tree to the ground.

It was a bit tangled, and he almost stretched out his hand to pick it up.In time, I remembered that snails have no hands...

He lowered his head and touched the spikes with his soft meat.Although the thorn fruit is covered with thorns, the thorns are just superficial. The outer thorns are so soft that they can't even pierce his snail's skin.
