Simulation: Starting From Strange Creatures

  Chapter 93 Too Hasty Leads to Failure

  【Fifth month, you can hunt alone】

   "So the platypus is a nocturnal creature!"

  Recalling his previous behavior of climbing out in broad daylight, Zhao Meng sighed at the earthworms by the river while feeling something.

  It wasn't until the sky brightened and the dawn came that he went back to his cave.

  【Sixth month, you developed poisonous thorns】

   "Stinger!"

  Zhao Meng turned his head to look at his crotch, and he found a hardened poisonous thorn.

   "A platypus has a stinger!"

  He touched it and exclaimed:

   "The structure of this creature is really strange!"

  If there is no systematic reminder, he really has not discovered that, as a mammal, it can have such a structure.

   Zhao Meng studied his stinger, which grew on his hind limbs.

  He didn't understand the bone type of the platypus, but only compared it from his subjective impression. The stinger seemed to grow on the heel of a human.

   "For kicking!"

   "I don't even know how toxic it is?"

  He carefully recalled the news of his previous life, and it seemed that he rarely heard the news of platypus poisoning people to death.

   "Presumably the lethality of this stinger is not high!"

   "I don't know, what is the entry related to Stinger?"

   "The requirement is not high, as long as it can stun other creatures!" Zhao Meng was pleasantly surprised to see such a structure.

  Especially his situation in the real world, he didn't want to let go of any opportunity.

   "The cloud of the sunfish has been systematically modified and enlarged, and it will become [Cloud Inheritance]."

   "Then what will the stinger become after being simulated?"

   Zhao Meng was full of anticipation.

  【Seventh month, eat and grow. 】

   Zhao Meng's simulation became more active, and the appearance of the stinger brought a glimmer of light to his gloomy life.

  In nature, using poison is one of the effective means for the weak to defeat the strong.

   In the real world, there is also such a truth.

  If he really becomes a master poison user, then his current danger may be solved.

   Zhao Meng is full of hope,

  The resulting appetite has also greatly increased,

  For a while, the insects, shrimps and all kinds of small animals on the bank near the river suffered.

  …

  【In the first year and seven months, you have matured, and your instinct drives you to look for something...】

"well!"

   "It's that time again!"

  Zhao Meng looked at the moonlight reflected on the river, and sighed with some melancholy.

  The important duty of living beings is to reproduce. As an animal, Zhao Meng cannot avoid this matter.

  Of course he has a human soul, and he can also control the platypus not to find a mate.

  But in order to complete the simulation, he can only obey the competition and rewards given to creatures by nature.

   "In other words, if you don't follow the laws of nature to reproduce, will the simulation fail?"

   Zhao Meng thought about it carefully, and he had never done this kind of experiment on the animals he simulated.

  In the past, he was very instinctive and happily joined some kind of competition!

  Of course, given his current situation, he doesn't have time to try this.

  Zhao Meng shook his head gently, not thinking about it, he took advantage of the moonlight, followed his instinct, and pursued something...

"over there!"

  He saw three platypuses huddled together in an open water, presumably to compete for a mate on the side.

   "Haha, here I come!"

   Seeing the target appear, driven by instinct, Zhao Meng accelerated his swimming speed.

  Zhao Meng thought that with his inhuman experience, he could easily defeat these ducks,

  Therefore, he didn't hesitate, and was just about to step forward to fight.

  But at this moment, his duckbill suddenly felt a slight vibration.

  A sense of danger came to his mind.

   "Oops, it's a Predator!"

  The next moment Zhao Meng felt his body was bitten by something, he tried to struggle, but the bite force on his body was really terrifying.

  Accompanied by pain and blood, Zhao Meng lost consciousness:

  【Simulation failed】

  Looking at these words flashing in the phantom space, Zhao Meng felt very regretful, thinking that he had imitated countless veterans of animals, and he would make such a rudimentary mistake.

   "It's all about the rewards of nature, which drove my instinctive behavior and made me ignore the surrounding environment."

   "I even forgot that breeding is one of the most dangerous times for a creature."

  Thinking of this, Zhao Meng shook his head helplessly,

  Based on his simulation experience, he summed up the two most dangerous stages of simulating animals.

  One is in infancy.

  One is during the breeding period.

  As for old age, animals rarely have the chance to live to old age. Without the interference of human factors, once they get old and frail, they are easily eliminated by nature.

   Needless to say, the dangerous juvenile stage, why is the breeding period dangerous...

   Judging from the several animals he simulated,

   Sea hares will link with each other during the breeding season to form an industrial chain. Zhao Meng saw with his own eyes that predators devoured the entire chain from top to bottom.

  The fringed sandpiper leaves the hidden grass and fights for territory in the open space, which is easy to attract predators in the sky.

  The process of sunfish reproduction becomes a gluttonous feast in the sea.

  In short, the reproduction process in nature is very dangerous,

  Animals will leave their shelter and fight, which will give predators an opportunity.

  Zhao Meng sometimes thinks that human beings are shy about certain aspects, and even keep them private, perhaps not because of moral and legal restrictions.

   But when primitive humans were still running on the wilderness.

   Then they died because they bred to get carried away.

  This kind of lesson is engraved in the genes of human beings, making human beings unconsciously stay away from the wild and enter caves and houses.

  Even until mankind entered the age of civilization,

  Being in public or in an empty place, there will also be unspeakable feelings, which are engraved in genes, such as shyness, fear, or social death, legal and moral constraints.

  In short, for a creature, reproduction is a duty endowed by genes and a reward given by nature, but at the same time there are dangers here, and it cannot be done in public in the hall.

   "It's really not my fault!"

  At this time, Zhao Meng had just adapted to the human body. Looking at the dark forest outside the window, he muttered to himself:

   "The uncontrolled reproductive instinct is really dangerous!"

   "But no matter what, I was negligent. As the saying goes, a good swimmer drowns. I thought I was proficient and adapted to nature, but often at this time, I am most likely to suffer the revenge of nature!"

   “Be more cautious going forward.”

   "I don't have much time left!"

  Thinking of this, Zhao Meng's consciousness entered the phantom space again, and a new simulation began.

  【In the first month, you are born from an egg! 】

  …

  【The first year and six months, what are you looking for under the instinctive trend】

  With the failure experience caused by self-confidence last time, Zhao Meng was extra careful this time.

   After all, the size of the platypus is not as good as that of the beaver. This size is not high in the food chain.

   Therefore, he hides at the first sign of trouble.

  After dealing with the predator, Zhao Meng finally approached the female platypus at a safe time.

  Although there are no predators, the female is surrounded by three male platypus.

  Looking at the three drakes blocking the road,

  Zhao Meng understands that the next step is to fight the stinger with these males.
