Chapter 249 Ligier...White Knight?

Chapter 249 Ligier White Knight?

Similar to the dragon people, the Ligier people are also gradually losing their humanoid form.

However, the direction Yao Yan chose for them, although not humanoid, is not a giant dragon or a flying dragon.

However, in the general understanding of most people.

There are mainly three types of flying creatures.

Insects.

Birds.

Bats.

Yao Yan chose the Ligier people.

And the reason is that the reproduction of the Ligier people comes from the source of "nest parasitism".

Humans will habitually classify, and in unconscious behavior, they will group things with certain "common belonging" together.

When you see feathers, you will think in the direction of birds and form a presupposition of "birds".

Then when you see claws, you will presuppose that they are bird claws.

Using the nest parasitism of birds and the parasitism of insects

Yao Yan mixed them together.

In the general impression of people, when it comes to insects, characteristics such as rapid reproduction and small size often emerge.

So, in this world, will creatures with insect characteristics get a bonus to their reproduction speed?

Moreover, compared with other creatures, the characteristics of "metamorphosis" are often close together.

The place where the Lijier people were born.

A group of strange creatures are looking at it from afar.

Their bodies are wrapped in strange white exoskeletons.

Under their gaze, a humanoid Lijier creature that looks like a "corpse" is cracking.

And from her body, a strange creature came out.

The original Lijier people were not much different from humans in terms of their physical shape.

However, now, the Lijier people at this stage have become another kind of creature.

If the humans in Yao Yan's lifetime saw such a monster from their perspective, they would definitely be terrified.

However, the Lijier people would not.

Their genes do not contain the vigilance and attention to countless insects for countless years, countless times, and countless kinds of insects.

Even in the gene template newly constructed by Yao Yan, the Lijier people will even have an extra favorable impression on creatures with exoskeleton structures.

Based on the gene template sequence of the Paradise Humans' Hunters → Demon Enemies → Executioners, Yao Yan constructed a new gene template for this group of Lijier people.

From the perspective of ordinary people, metamorphosis can be roughly divided into complete metamorphosis and incomplete metamorphosis.

And for the sake of class construction, Yao Yan of course chose the complete metamorphosis model.

The morphological differences between the developmental processes are large.

And the eggs are where the Lijier people and the Paradise Humans begin to separate.

The Lijier people reproduce by laying eggs.

The quantity is large and the growth is fast.

The strategy of fast birth and fast death, Yao Yan has experimented on dragon people and dragons and has experience.

In order to hunt humans and demons, Yao Yan chose a strategy.

Parasitism.

As the leader, the Lijier people will replace the eggs of other Lijier people in their team with their own eggs in a way similar to nest parasitism.

The eggs they lay live parasitic lives, have a certain degree of mobility, and will actively hunt demons and humans.

They will give priority to humanoid creatures such as demons and paradise humans as hosts to replace their brain tissue.

If there is no suitable host, they will choose other animals as a second choice.

These larval stage Ligil people, no, should they be called Ligil insect people?

These Ligil insects will eat the human or demon whole and then begin to pupate.

The second stage is based on the "Demon Public Enemy".

However, in the second stage, the "pupa stage" Ligil insect people will not lose their ability to move.

They are just like wearing a layer of armor.

The whole body is covered with insect-like exoskeletons, and they move in various postures.

If the host is a human, then their exoskeleton is like a human knight wearing armor.

If the host target is a deer or other four-legged animals, it is a similar shape and the surface is covered with exoskeletons.

Choose the form of the pupa according to different hosts.

In this way, when they have eliminated the demons and paradise humans, they will automatically lose their human form.

The third stage is to break out of the pupa and become an insect.

The form designed by Yao Yan for them is highly similar to that of stick insects.

This is a form that can hide and develop in the body of most host pupae.

After all, most hosts have support such as bones.

At the same time, Yao Yan also referred to the genetic templates of dragon people and giant dragons and designed them with the instinct to collect text.

And the related instinct is "nesting".

Driven by the desire for safety and the desire to protect their offspring, they are driven to find places with various "complex patterns" to reproduce and lay eggs in the corresponding areas.

First, it is easier to find human gathering places, and second, if the larvae of Lijier insects are found in a certain place, then there are text relics in this place.

This is another way for Yao Yan to find text.

In the first stage, their search and tracking capabilities are improved.

In the second stage, the protection and combat capabilities are improved.

In the third stage, the movement speed increases and the reproduction capacity increases.

For simplicity, Yao Yan gave the Lijier insects corresponding code names——

Parasitic hunting insects → Public enemy of mankind → Leader insects

Of course, if you like to attach some high-sounding professional titles, you can also use:

Puppet master → White Knight → Swift hunter

In order to achieve the desired effect of Yao Yan, Yao Yan set a special hormone for them.

A hormone of "desire for development", a hormone transformed from the stimulation of appetite and self-protection desire.

When the body size and physique are weak, the concentration of this hormone will be very high, causing them to feel anxious and prompting them to actively look for a host.

Finding a host can relieve anxiety.

Growth and development can relieve anxiety.

Transformation into a white knight can relieve anxiety.

Hunting humans and demons can relieve anxiety.

Transformation into a leader insect can relieve anxiety.

When they transform into adults, they will stop pursuing growth and development.

They are intelligent and can communicate.

Because this instinct promotes development and affects psychology, their social outlook and values ​​will be very different from those of humans.

And this structure will eventually prompt them to form a worship and desire for the adult body of "leader insects".

They may even have the urge to parasitize the leader bug.

This is an unexpected thing, but it is also a backup plan set by Yao Yan.

If necessary, he can also eliminate the Lijier people by doing something about this.

Even if they cannot be eliminated, the population can be greatly reduced, right?
