Treasure Island.
The two artillery regiments sent from the Qinghai base area have been renovated and are ready to return to the base camp. As a representative, Wei Shen led some soldiers and the Guihai people led by Liu Xiu to specially come to the flying Henanese to report to Chen Changan. Farewell.
Chen Changan tried to activate the ability of Glimpse, and found that Wei Shen's personal strength had been upgraded to the 12th level of extraordinary species. It was obviously that the deep sea world was nourished in the battle of conquest of the Dongsang plane, and he was able to upgrade two extraordinary levels in one go!
Not only Wei Shen, but also every soldier in the artillery regiment has been more or less improved in strength, and the per capita extraordinary level has increased by one to two levels.
Especially the people from Guihai who "specialized in the art", including Liu Xiu, the strength of every spirit remover has been greatly improved!
Coupled with the unspent contributions, there are about 5,000 human beings participating in the golden main quest, and their strength has almost doubled!
Wei Shen smiled cautiously, cupped his hands and said:
"Master Chang'an, we are ready to return to the Qinghai base. Thank you for starting a golden main mission for mankind."
Chen Changan replied cheerfully: "It's a small matter. Are you in such a hurry to go back? Do you have any mission?"
Wei Shen nodded: "Five thousand elites have been mobilized from the Qinghai base to support the conquest of the Dongsang plane. Many pirates from other sea areas have fled to the vicinity of Qinghai. We need to turn back as soon as possible to expel the pirates!"
Chen Changan cupped his hands and said with a smile:
"Everyone may not be separated at the end of the song. I hope there will be a chance to cooperate next time. The power of your biological artillery really opened my eyes!"
Wei Shen suddenly showed a mysterious smile and said:
"Comrade Chang'an, before we say goodbye, we have a gift for you!"
Chen Changan laughed and replied:
"What a coincidence, I also have something good that I want to give to the Qinghai base!"
Said.
The Qinghai soldiers pushed out a large iron cage covered with black cloth, and violent collisions were heard from time to time inside!
Faintly, bursts of neighing can also be heard.
"Take it off~" Wei Shen shouted, and the soldiers guarding on the side pulled down the cage and found that it was an iron cage made of barbed wire. Inside, there were two one-meter-long green snakes, one male and one female, and more than ten others. A snake egg.
The male snake had a more ferocious temperament and kept hitting the barbed wire, causing repeated injuries on its body.
The female snake is a bit surprising——
It coils around the snake egg and appears to be undergoing a physiological activity called incubation.
In the old earth era, most snakes would ruthlessly leave after laying eggs. Only pythons had behaviors similar to hatching.
But the big green snake in front of me doesn’t seem to be a python!
certainly.
It is not in line with the spirit of science to rely on the experience of the earth. Chen Changan tried to use a startling glance, with a trace of surprise in his eyes:
"Husband and wife coexist and fight evil together..."
Nature is really miraculous. It can actually give birth to a wonderful way of survival such as symbiosis between husband and wife to resist the harm of evil energy! "
Wei Shen also showed an admiring smile:
"This is the strange creature we found at the junction of the Shipbuilding Sea and the Shipwreck City when we came to Treasure Island. A single female or a single male are all evil creatures with chaotic thinking, but when they meet each other, they enter a mating state. , the male snake will lend the life essence in his body to the female, allowing her to regain a certain level of intelligence and successfully complete the spawning activity, and then the life essence will return to the male snake."
"Using the reproductive activity as an opportunity to use the vitality of two snakes to resist the evil energy of a single individual, thereby successfully completing the mission of raising offspring and successfully digesting part of the evil energy. This is the symbiosis of husband and wife!"
【Symbiotic Sea Green Snake】
Status: Weak and slightly injured
Level: Level 3 Level 2
Biological information: A new species born in the polluted area of the Shipbuilding Sea, semi-viviparous, can digest and degrade evil energy in the body through symbiosis between husband and wife.
Male skill: Shu Er Shuo Zhi
When the body is relatively excited, part of the life source can be injected into the female body. Each time this skill is used, the life span will be shortened by 1 to 3 years.
After the female snake lays eggs, part of the life source will return to the male snake.
Female skill: lay eggs and hatch
After receiving the life source injected by the male snake, a certain amount of intelligence will be restored, and the ability to lay eggs and hatch will be awakened.
In this process, the female snake will take advantage of the opportunity of the birth of new life to greatly degrade the evil energy existing in the body.
After laying eggs, this skill is automatically lost, and will be reawakened after the male snake injects the source of life again.

Chen Changan asked curiously:
"I've only heard of oviparous and viviparous. What is hemiviviparous?"
Wei Shen smiled and explained:
"Ovoviviparous refers to the reproductive method in which the animal's soft tissue develops into an individual before the target is produced. The nutrients required for embryonic development mainly rely on the absorption of the yolk of the egg itself, or only in the later stages of embryonic development, gases are exchanged with the mother's body. Exchange. This is a reproduction method formed by animals' long-term adaptation to adverse environments. In fact, the mother mainly plays a role in protecting and incubating the embryo.
After the symbiotic sea green snake lays eggs, the baby snakes will emerge within a few days, so they are hemi-viviparous. "
Chen Changan gradually understood the way of survival of the symbiotic sea green snake, and after asking about the sea green snake's living environment and breeding suggestions, he took out his gift.
——Charcoal grilled wine-flavored dragon heart!
A whole ten kilograms!
These precious ingredients are enough for the Qinghai base to recruit several meteor-level experts with high physical fitness!
Wei Shen showed a hint of surprise and exclaimed:
"Comrade Chang'an, this gift is too valuable. You should keep it for yourself."
Chen Changan shook his head and explained with a smile:
"Think tank experts in the Qinghai base area have provided me with good suggestions more than once. These things should be considered as wages paid to them."
Wei Shen stopped acting like a child, and after a few more pleasantries, he boarded the clipper and returned to the Qinghai base.
After watching the Qinghai soldiers go away, Chen Changan turned to look at the large wire cage. The male snake inside had given up the collision and was guarding the female snake. He couldn't help but sigh:
"Deep sea pasture is inedible. Although the evil bamboo rat can eat it, it requires a green persimmon leaf, so it cannot be mass-produced~"
"Now I have obtained the second creature adapted to evil energy, deep-sea pasture → evil bamboo rat → symbiotic sea green snake → snake meat soup → human. The simplest biological chain has been completed~"
"It's just...the number of snakes is too few!"
Subsequently.
Chen Changan summoned the sea elf Hailansa and said in a deep voice:
"Is there any way you can greatly increase the reproduction speed of these sea snakes?"
As a fish herder under Mazu, Hailansa has become familiar with the reproduction patterns of many kinds of marine life during the period of managing Poseidon Ranch, and he said confidently:
"Of course!"
