Chapter 583 Evolution

"Well, those aborigines you mentioned, I saw them here too, Meow."

After contacting the aboriginal people in the village under Sharmi's guidance, Xie Wen, after collecting information, contacted Haiyuan Miao who was still in the palace with great self-knowledge.

It is worth mentioning that in order not to arouse Xie Wen's resentment, Shi Ji took the initiative to remove the surveillance phone bugs patrolling here after discovering that Xie Wen and the others had arrived in the village.

However, even if he didn't withdraw, it wouldn't have much impact. Xie Wen and the others just distributed some food to the group of sallow-looking aborigines, and other than that, they didn't mention anything about their intention to fall out.

"The feathers on their hands, or wings to be exact, should be some kind of unfinished evolution after eating IQ."

Haiyuan Miao reasonedly analyzed the phone bug: "The effect of the IQ plant is actually to make living things evolve in the direction of their own needs. To be more precise, it is an accelerator, which will originally require thousands of dollars." Tens of thousands of years of evolution have been reduced to a few hundred or even decades.”

"According to the Aboriginal people, this island is the top of a cylindrical mountain. So the Aboriginal people must want to go down the mountain to have a look. Then they will naturally want to fly like a bird. I Several of the aboriginal maids nearby said things like "I want to fly" and "I want to become a bird."

"It's just that compared to those animals that actively eat IQ, these humans have never eaten IQ as a common food, but only use it as an antidote to Daft-Green, which has led to their evolutionary speed. Much slower than those animals, and now that these IQs have been restrained by Shiji, their evolution is even more difficult, nya."

"So...as long as you give them enough IQ, your evolution can be accelerated?"

Xie Wen rubbed his chin, feeling that something was not right.

Since IQ is monopolized by Shi Ji, why do these aborigines collectively complete their evolution in two years? Even if you can occasionally pick up one or two fish that slip through the net, it can't benefit everyone, right?

"Of course it's not that simple, meow."

The little milk cat on the other side of the phone shook her head, "Crabs evolved carapaces to prevent themselves from being eaten, fish evolved limbs and became amphibians because the water was no longer enough for them to survive... Evolution is not When you have enough money to buy things, you can get them. If you want them to complete their evolution, you need an opportunity, or... you have to force them to evolve in some way."

"The reason why Indygo puts these animals in different environments and uses drugs to increase their aggression is also based on this consideration. Only in order to survive and reproduce can they truly promote their evolution."

After Haibara Miao's explanation, the situation in the theater version became reasonable.

These aborigines had lived here for who knows how many years before they were captured by Shiji, so the accumulation of IQ itself should have been enough for a long time. What they really need is a sense of urgency that threatens their lives.

Of course, it has to be in line with their sense of urgency in the direction of their evolution. For example, like the island suddenly falling in the theater version, if it were a fire, flood, etc., they had already evolved wings, and they couldn't immediately become a high-temperature resistant one. Skin or gills or something like that.

In other words... I don't have to worry about them at all. After killing Shi Ji, these people will naturally learn to fly?

Xie Wen rubbed his chin again. Being a steady person, he always felt that this plan was not so reliable.

He did have the idea of ​​grabbing an aboriginal and throwing him off the island to see if he could fly, but he quickly put it down.

This kind of inappropriate operation is fine whether it is a prank on a friend or an experiment on an enemy, but it is a bit excessive when used on strangers, even if it is under the banner of "for your own good".

That……

Tell the aboriginal people here about Haiyuan Miao's speculation, and then find a few volunteers to cooperate with your experiment?

Xie Wen looked at the old, weak, sick and disabled people in the village and decisively gave up the idea.

As for finding the young and strong aborigines captured by Shiji, it is not impossible, but in this case, Shiji will definitely know about it, and then there will be a risk of exposure.

He was not very afraid of his true purpose being exposed, but in that case, with Shiji's cunning and cruelty, it was very likely that he would directly attack those innocent aborigines, which would be unnecessary.

Anyway, the aboriginal people here are ordinary people. Even if they fail to evolve the ability to fly, it doesn't seem to be a big deal.

Xie Wen thought twice and decided to follow his original plan.

So, he ended the call with Haiyuan Miao, left some food for the aborigines, and left with Robin and the cats.

…

In the next few days, Xie Wen and the others did not return to Shiji's palace at all. Instead, after visiting the main island, they took the Dudu boat to several other islands, even those that were completely wrapped in sea water. On the water island, Xie Wen also asked the Dudu to switch to the sea dragon form and went in for a swim.

In fact, if Sanji Meow hadn't chosen a certain animal to show off to everyone from time to time, Robin would have occasionally inspected the ruins on the island, and left enough research time for Haibara Meow and Meurya, Xie Wen and the others were able to visit all the islands on the first day.

But slowness also has its advantages...

Xie Wen has seen all the animals on these islands.

Six-legged tigers, octopuses that live on land and never go into the water, crocodiles with flat bodies like a Formula One car, giant bears with super long arms and black and white stripes, green giraffes, fire-breathing beetles, etc.

The monster illustrations in the Hunter's Manual have been updated for a long time.

And it is slightly different from what Xie Wen had guessed before. Although there are indeed many cases where only the maximum size has been updated, there are also many "subspecies", "rare species", "special individuals", and even "overlords" with independent illustrations, and some animals have completely new illustrations.

According to Huiyuan Miao, these animals either have a large evolutionary span or a fast iteration speed, and have evolved into completely different creatures.

It's like dogs and wolves have the same ancestor, but there is no saying that dogs are subspecies of wolves, or wolves are special individuals of dogs.

In biology, this is called divergent evolution or divergent evolution.

Well, when Huiyuan Meowth said these words to him, Xie Wen could imagine this little kitten wearing a gold-rimmed glasses and pretending to be on the other end of the Den Den Mushi.

I don’t know if it was some strange switch that was turned on when he was talking to Dr. Indigo before. After that day, this little black-bellied cat became more and more like a teacher. Every time he called her, he would always chatter a lot...

He didn’t consider whether Canglanxing, with his poor knowledge level and his brain hovering at the average level, could understand these complicated things.

But whether it was divergent evolution or convergent evolution, or MEGA evolution or ultimate evolution, in short, because the evolutionary directions of the animals on these islands were different, the monster encyclopedia in the Monster Hunter Manual increased by nearly one-tenth.

And with so many new encyclopedias, it is natural that the summoning ticket fragments of the ordinary pool of the monster encyclopedia are indispensable, and two of them came at once. Xie Wen can not only summon new Fey Cats, but also have a surplus of fragments.

I feel that if I can't get the source of fragments in the future, I can learn from Shiki, find a few uninhabited islands, use IQ to promote the evolution of animals on the islands, and maybe I can get a lot of fragments.

Of course, this is all in the future. Now the map has been completed, the illustrations have been opened, the fragments have been obtained, and the research on Huiyuan Meow and Meowerya has been almost done...

It's time to go back and cause trouble for Shiki!
