Chapter 407: The Shocking Demon Soul Spider Nest (3)
When we talked about the birth of monsters earlier, we have already said that most monsters cannot reproduce naturally and can only increase their population through breeding in the place where they were born.
Only a very small number of monsters can reproduce naturally. Usually, they have their prototype races in nature, but their reproductive ability is extremely poor compared to their prototype races.
For example, the Tusk is one of the monster races that can reproduce naturally, and its prototype race is the wild boar in nature.
Normally, wild boars can give birth to two litters a year at most, or multiple babies in one litter. However, giant-tusked monsters can only give birth to one baby at a time, and not all giant-tusked monsters can reproduce naturally. Only a few of them can do so.
Creatures like Cyclops, Dead Wood Monsters, and Ghosts cannot reproduce naturally.
If the Tusks were not mainly bred from the place where monsters were born, and their habits and intelligence levels were no different from other monsters, as long as they were a little more normal, we might as well regard them as a kind of magical beast with a more special magic system.
There aren't many monsters in insect form, and they usually can't reproduce naturally. The original three-eyed demon soul spider should be no exception.
So theoretically speaking, the population size of insect-shaped monsters usually depends on the size of the lava cave where they were born, and is generally unlikely to reach an exaggerated level.
Perhaps it was the action of the Chosen Demon Soul Spider walking out of the lava cave and trying to overcome the weakness of monsters being restrained by sunlight and coexist with the sunlight that caused it to evolve in a new way.
Or maybe it has lived in the natural environment outside for a long time and gradually recovered some of its biological functions.
Whether it is mitosis or hermaphroditism, it has evolved the ability to reproduce!
We all know that spiders are oviparous animals and can lay many eggs at a time. This is the secret of the rapid reproduction of insects.
After the Chosen Demon Soul Spider evolved the ability to reproduce, and restored some of its biological functions, the changes it brought about were enormous!
As a result, we also saw that the Chosen Demon Soul Spider developed into a huge spider group carrying its genetic imprint!
It can be imagined that in a supernatural world, such a developed race is naturally controlled by their source - the Chosen Demon Soul Spider.
In other words, it is the god of the entire spider group! It is what we called the "Spider Queen" earlier.
Of course, this kind of control is not unlimited. At the very least, there is a distance limit. Otherwise, the "commander" would not have the idea of surviving alone outside without returning to the Demon Soul Spider's nest.
We can even speculate that those original three-eyed demon soul spiders bred from the lava cave where monsters were born will probably be used by the "Spider Queen" as a source of updated genetic imprints to prevent the entire spider group from eventually becoming homogenized.
As to whether this was through traditional mating or by taking in genetic material through eating, Lido had no idea.
However, according to Liduo's guess, the latter is more likely.
After all, the 'Spider Queen' is a Demon Soul Spider with extraordinary wisdom, great strength, and excellent mental power. She is the controller of the entire spider colony. Even if she shoulders the responsibility of the reproduction of the entire clan and chooses to lay eggs, she is not something that those brainless ordinary three-eyed Demon Soul Spiders can get close to. This will undermine her dignity as the leader, and it will be much easier to eat her!
Lido didn't know when the 'Spider Queen' was born, but it must have been quite some time ago. However, it shouldn't have been thousands of years, probably hundreds of years.
Monsters are different from other creatures on the magical continent. They do not have the concept of old age and frailty, but this does not mean that monsters will not die without external forces.
Because monsters are constantly accumulating energy throughout their lives, the stronger the energy, the stronger the physical fitness, so they will not be weak. However, the mental core that drives the body's activities will decay, so there will eventually be a day when the monster's mental core decays into ordinary energy particles and can no longer drive the body.
The body was left behind, and the spiritual stone in the head was also left behind, so that can be considered death.
It can be said that any monster that dies of natural causes will have a psychic stone in its mind!
Since the monsters' mental cores are incomplete, they do not need to have clear self-awareness and self-control, so even if their mental cores decay to the end stage, it will not have much impact on the monsters' mobility. This is why there is no such thing as monsters getting old and weak.
And with a long period of accumulation, even if it is just a primary monster, it will be able to condense into energy crystals in the mind 100%.
Lido believed that the Spider Queen would live a very long life, longer than any other monster of the same level!
Because not only is it powerful, its mental power is also the strongest that Lido has ever seen except herself!
Therefore, the decay period of its spiritual power core must be very long, so Lido tends to believe that the "Spider Queen" in the current spider group is the original one.
Furthermore, when the Spider Queen reproduces, she must have the ability to intervene in the genetic imprint to a certain extent, otherwise various types of Demon Soul Spiders with different functions would not be born.
Perhaps at the beginning, it did not have this ability, and what hatched from the spider eggs were just the original three-eyed demon soul spiders.
But as it became dissatisfied with the single ability of the original Three-Eyed Demon Soul Spider, which made it inconvenient for it to control the entire spider colony, it began to try to intervene in the spider eggs to make them evolve.
This kind of intervention is naturally achieved through mental power, because it is a kind of "idealistic" power. The spider eggs are laid by it itself and share the same origin with it, so they will naturally resonate with its mental power.
Of course, when the attempt was first made, the evolutionary directions of the spider eggs should have been varied, but the 'Spider Queen' screened them, and gradually selected the evolutionary directions she needed, and then fixed these evolutionary directions to form a complete intervention plan. As time went by, the spider group with various types of magic soul spiders that Lido saw today was formed.
Although the above are just Liduo's guesses, they are not much different from the actual situation. It can only be said that Liduo now has a strong intuition and sensitivity in this regard.
