Chapter 58 Warmth in the chaos
"Hydra has a special living habit. The females of them lay eggs every twenty years. When laying eggs, since the young Hydra is only the size of a palm, and the body is extremely fragile, and cannot adapt to the harsh environment of the southern swamp, pregnant mothers will migrate to the northern swamp for delivery a few months before laying eggs, and then return to the southern swamp." When walking into the tree house, Panis was still explaining to the girls: "As for the hydra eggs that were laid, they were buried deep in the bottom of the swamp by their mothers, and they fell asleep quietly until three years later, the little Hydra broke out of their shells. After birth, Hydras will instinctively forage at the bottom of the mud. Their food is rich and small creatures at the bottom of the mud. After eating, they sink deep in the mud. After eating, they sink in the depths of the mud.
It will take about ten years to sleep until they have passed the juvenile stage. Of course, there will be a large number of unlucky juveniles that cannot survive the ten years, have not yet grown up and been eliminated by nature, and have no chance to become an adult. There will be a certain induction between the two generations of Hydra. Ten years later, the mother body that has produced and has not yet died will migrate to the north swamp again, bringing the juveniles that have entered the growth stage, and bringing the juveniles back to the southern swamp. At this time, the juveniles can face most of the organisms and environments of the southern swamp, and most of them can successfully adulthood. Although when we met Jack, she was still in the depths of the southern swamp, she was about to enter the spawning period at that time, so we accompanied her through a migration journey, which is quite familiar."
"Blessed by Deniya, the little Hydra sounds so pitiful." Lina drew a square on her chest and whispered: "I have left my parents since I was a child and faced the dangerous world alone. The luck that I can grow up is pretty good."
In fact, except for Freya's father's care, the girls in the adventure group lost their parents since childhood, and like Hydra, they could only face everything by themselves. They were even worse than Hydra. At least the young Hydra knew that their mother came back to pick her up. But the girls knew that no matter what, their parents could not come back. Therefore, it is difficult for girls not to have strange resonance when hearing Hydra's growth experience.
"I think if you know the mortality rate of juvenile Hydras, you will no longer resonate with them." Panis shrugged and said as if nothing had happened: "They are too powerful, so in order to balance, nature not only allows them to have a long production cycle, but also increases the difficulty of their growth. With the current scale of Hydras, it can lay about fifty to one hundred snake eggs at a time, but ten years later, only one or two mothers will come to the North Swamp to pick up their children, and the rest of the snake eggs will either not hatch successfully or die in the hands of the natural environment during the juvenile stage."
"Bang", Panis was explaining, and suddenly a head ejected from behind his back. Hydra's neck was very long and very flexible, and could coil its neck into a spiral shape. Then it popped out like a snake, attacking the enemy at high speed with its head. Jack seemed to like playing like this, and bumped Panis from behind, and the other eight heads made a ridiculous expression at the same time: "If you want to say bad things to us, you deserve it."
If there is something more headache in the world than meeting a troubled child, it is to meet eight troubled children at the same time. Hydra Jack seems to have a grudge against Penis. With Arcmene's support, he always makes some helpless pranks against Penis along the way. The header attack is just a very simple one. He successfully completed the prank. Jack was afraid that Penis would take revenge and was the first to chase Arcmene and ran into the trunk.
Entering the tree trunk, the girls found that the inside was not the same as the irregular walls, and there was no difference between them and ordinary human rooms. The living room was placed with soft chairs and coffee tables for guests, and there was also a bed in the bedroom, but the bed used by the lizard people was relatively hard, which was also related to their bodies being covered with scales.
"Huh?" Catherine looked at the tables and chairs in the living room in surprise: "This, isn't this furniture from Santo Terek Furniture? This is the same thing in our home."
"Well, my brother and the others gave it to me back then." The former high priest of the Lizardman was like an ordinary housewife. He walked out of the kitchen with a tray. The slight heat was floating in the teacup in the tray: "Come and try the specialty of the fermented red vine in the swamp. The humidity in the swamp is too high, which will cause some damage to the human body. However, using this plant to soak in water can remove the impact of the damp and heat environment on humans, and the effect is very good."
Before Alcmene put down the tray, Panis grabbed a cup by himself, not afraid of being hot. He drank half a cup in one sip and breathed out a comfortable breath of heat: "Al is a master of herbal medicine. The things she made with herbs are not only very effective, but also matched with some other plants to make the taste particularly attractive. I suggest you all try it, it is very good."
"You guy, hiss, he's so greedy now." Alcmene gave Panis a humane glance, and then kicked the Hydra lying on her feet: "You are in the basin over there, hiss, I know you like to drink, so I've prepared more for you. Hey, slow down, hiss, if it's burning, don't cry to me again, look, it's burning. And you, Garantis, hiss, you're already a hundred years old, not one year old, I know you haven't seen me for two years, but can you spare my tail first, hiss, I remember I haven't customized tail decorations, it's still human-shaped. Don't bother you, Kyle, Oh, no, Uncle Penis, hiss, it's not your ten years old now. If you jump on him again, you will trample him to death."
The scene in front of the girls was very unexpected. In the girls' imagination, when old friends met many years later, the atmosphere should be serious and sad. Unexpectedly, what they actually saw was a chaotic scene. However, this ordinary scene made the girls feel the warmth of home from the chaos. Only in the relaxing environment of home can people let go of all their external reserve and become a mess.
"Okay, okay, don't make trouble anymore." Seeing that his daughter ignored her dissuasion, she insisted on climbing onto Pannis's lap and running around the room that she firmly disagreed, Alcmene gritted her teeth and rolled Galantis aside with her tail. After putting it down, she thrust on her butt a few times before sitting down on the chair opposite Pannis: "I have been unwilling to pay attention to me for more than a hundred years. Hiss, my brother, why do you think about seeing my sister this time?"
"Your daughter has been caught." Panis paused, blocked his face with a teacup, and said with a slight look on his eyes: "And I have not seen each other for so many years, I should see you again, otherwise what if there is no chance."
