"It's a deep-sea crocodile dragon, and there are more deep-sea crocodile dragons." Bull exclaimed. He didn't even know that there were so many deep-sea crocodile dragons living nearby, a terrifying subsaurus creature known as the natural enemy of the green-skinned fishmen, but it was estimated that
The black-skinned fishman high priest wouldn't know, otherwise he wouldn't choose to establish the Neboa tribe nearby.
Abyssalosaurus is a subsaurus that looks very much like a crocodile in Adrian's previous life. It has long upper and lower jaws with four rows of teeth that are already terrifying. It is world-famous for its amazing bite force. It is said that an adult Abyssalosaurus can
Chewing steel as if playing.
But fortunately, this is a lazy creature with extremely homely attributes. In addition to hunting once every few years in its life, most of the time it spends most of its time sleeping in the deep deep sea trenches, almost motionless, which also consumes its vitality.
Reduced to the lowest level, it has become a famous long-lived creature with an undistinguished amount of vitality. It is said that if everything goes well, a deep-sea crocodile dragon can live to be about two thousand years old, which is far more than the average life span of about one thousand years.
According to what Adrian learned while reading books in the Foehn Library, deep-sea crocodiles hunt and eat once every few years, often lasting several months. They would eat food several times their own weight in one go, and then convert the food into a
A special kind of fat is stored in the body for slow consumption over several years of deep sleep.
The fat in the body of the deep-sea crocodile dragon can be used to extract a precious crocodile dragon oil through a series of complex processes. It is a precious magic material that can be used to make countless kinds of advanced medicines, including high-level nutritional medicines. It can also be used due to certain
The production of special candles required for some specific rituals. Legend has it that the oil lamp in front of Lady Gaia, the life scepter of the Earth Mother Goddess enshrined in the Court of the Supreme Life Elves, has been burning for 170,000 years, consumes this crocodile dragon oil.
This also makes this kind of crocodile dragon oil very valuable. It is said that less than 100 grams can be sold for a sky-high price of 300 magic crystals.
But now everyone's focus is not on the value of Crocodile Oil. They are all worried about the sea deer that have become prey of the deep-sea Crocodile, especially Fiona, who has a relatively out-and-out personality among the three swordsman sisters.
He was eager to try, and it seemed that he was just waiting for Adrian's order to rush over and give those deep-sea crocodiles who were hunting sea deer a "little look".
But Adrian did not give the order to help the sea deer herd in the end. When he was watching a nature program in his previous life, he heard the commentator say that people should not interfere too much with the operation of the law of spontaneous combustion, as that would bring unpredictable disasters.
The consequences, whether the sea deer herds are migrating before us or the deep-sea crocodile dragons are hunting the sea deer herds, are all natural competitions based on the laws of nature and have nothing to do with Adrian.
Seeing Adrian's delay in giving the order, Fiona had a disappointed expression on her face. The triplets Ash and Kasha couldn't help but look depressed, and the youngest Kasha pouted.
Adrian looked at it funny. The sea deer is indeed a kind of creature that makes people feel good. It has the body and head of a deer, as well as beautiful antlers, but its limbs and tail have become the shape of fish fins and tails.
There are no scales on the body, but a thick layer of fur. The color of the fur is bright brown-red, which looks beautiful and clean. It is a magical natural creation.
Seeing the low mood of the three sisters, Adrian remained unmoved. He was not King Zhou You, and the three sisters were not Bao Si. Let’s not talk about the battlefield environment at sea that is not conducive to everyone fighting. Let’s just talk about the group of people.
Most of the deep-sea crocodiles looked like adult crocodiles, and they were at least level 16 in the legendary class. Everyone was just delivering food. How could Adrian give such a stupid order?
He smiled at the three sisters and said: "I am not cold-blooded, but this is a natural elimination process. As believers and descendants of the three supreme gods, the first thing we must learn is to respect nature and natural laws, but order
The highest form of expression.”
Kasha opened her mouth and said after a while: "But Lord, it would be too pitiful for these beautiful and brave sea deer to get here with great difficulty and be eaten by those ugly deep-sea crocodile dragons like this.
"
Adrian was a little speechless. Does natural hunting depend on appearance? Who said that good-looking people don’t have to be prey. In that case, should the fairy dragon among the upper dragons, which is known as the most beautiful creature, rule the three sacred dragons?
Already?
But facing these three "ignorant women" in front of him, Adrian's habit of being a teacher from his previous life suddenly emerged, so he patiently explained:
"According to the data, sea deer spend most of their time in the cold Sanshen Bay in the north. They only make a return trip along the continental shelf and around the entire Grensen Tower every twenty years or so. They will do so in this year.
In the winter, they swim all the way to the Sistari Sea in the south to give birth to sea deer calves, and then in the spring of the third year they circle the entire Glenson Tower again and return to the Three Gods Bay in the north."
The focus of everyone's attention shifted to Adrian. This is the etiquette that the lower elves are used to observing, and it is also the innate yearning for knowledge in the elves' blood. Adrian moved a few steps and walked to a huge stone in the forest.
, so that his image would appear taller and taller, he continued:
"They must break through various dangerous obstacles along the way. In the end, only the strongest sea deer can reach the Sistari Sea. In the process, the thin or sick sea deer will be naturally eliminated and become predators.
Their food allowed predators like the deep-sea crocodile dragon to have a feast."
"It looks like a bloody killing by a predator, but it is actually a natural selection. Nature makes such a choice for two purposes. First, if there are too many sea deer, they will eat up everything they can.
The food will affect the living space of other creatures, which will bring unbearable disaster to nature."
"Second, this natural selection is also meaningful for sea deer. During the migration process, sea deer hunted by predators are often thin or sick. If these sea deer are not eliminated,
If they do, they will be susceptible to diseases due to their thin bodies, and in severe cases, it may even develop into a large-scale plague that wipes out the entire sea deer herd."
Having said this, Adrian paused for a moment to give his men time to digest. After a few minutes, Adrian continued:
"I'm not being alarmist. You should know that 10,000 years ago, a migratory bird called the red-tailed goose became extinct. The reason was simply that during the migration of the red-tailed goose, a group of bird-wing elves showed compassion along the way.
Escort, driving away all predators for them, which directly caused the number of red-tailed geese to almost increase tenfold that year. They ate up all the food they could eat wherever they went, and eventually evolved
It became a famine that extended to the entire red-tailed goose population."
Having said this, Adrian stopped talking and turned to look at the group of sea deer being preyed on by the Deepsea Crocodile. The Deepsea Crocodile was worthy of being the top marine predator. In almost ten minutes,
The number of the first batch of sea deer dropped by one-third to more than 100,000. This number seems alarming, but considering that blue whales in previous lives could swallow hundreds of thousands of krill in one mouthful, Adrian could only
It doesn't feel weird anymore.
These more than 100,000 sea deer are probably just enough for those deep-sea crocodiles to have a full meal.
Adrian sighed. Natural selection is really cruel. The weak will definitely be eliminated. The bloody process is very direct and does not give any creature a chance to explain, but it is also fair. Adrian couldn't help but think of himself. If he and
If the force under his command cannot stand out in the cruel competition, he may not be able to escape the fate of destruction in the end.
Either he will waste his life and be trampled to death by the strong like Bai Biyoubin, or he will die on the Sento Tower Mountains in the battle between the twins of the world that he will definitely experience.
Thinking of this, Adrian was suddenly hit by his own thoughts and said, "Let's go back. We have to work hard to improve our strength. Otherwise, who can tell us clearly, we will be hunted."
A predator to others or prey hunted by a predator?”
…
The migration of the sea deer herd lasted for more than half a month, and the hunting feast of the deep-sea crocodile dragon also lasted for more than half a month. The killings were bright red and even dyed the surrounding seas red. Except for the first day, Adrian had
Having never seen this natural wonder that occurs once every twenty years, he was afraid that the insecurity that had finally weakened would resurface again.
He had laughed at himself for being one of the most cowardly time travellers, but he was really afraid of death. He bravely admitted this, so he hid in his territory and accumulated magic power step by step, trained martial arts, and actively
Learn new magic and arcana.
Time passed like this day by day, and on the day after the last sea deer passed the mouth of the Opal River and the Deep Sea Crocodile sank into the deep sea again to sleep, Hall, who knew that Adrian did not like him, bit the bullet.
Found Adrian, he came to say goodbye, and he was going to return to Kaya to continue his spy career.
According to his experience, Kaya, a gathering place of unowned intelligent beings dominated by wild elves, would not be abandoned after being attacked by another group of wild elves. Such a thing had happened during his hundreds of years of life.
After many experiences, Kaya was able to be rebuilt on the ruins each time, tenaciously like his master, the wild elf.
Adrian looked at Hall with a slightly complicated mood. He had mixed emotions towards this casual player who suddenly played a huge role. On the one hand, he was extremely disgusted with the other party's clumsy flattery, but looking at the flattery on Hall's face, he felt that
With a sincere smile, he felt that he seemed to be too harsh on Hall.
But he really couldn't say anything about leaving Hall in the solar storm. After much thought, he still felt that letting Hall return to the small town of Kaya was the most correct choice, so Adrian asked Alice to get a slightly larger bag.
, put a hundred magic crystals inside, handed it to Hall, and said:
"This is a reward for you. Use these magic crystals to improve your strength level. Remember to protect yourself and your secrets in a barbaric and chaotic place like Kaya. Well, if necessary, I will call you at any time.
