[In the fifth month, you can hunt alone]
"It turns out that the platypus is a nocturnal creature!"
Recalling his previous behavior of crawling out in broad daylight, Zhao Meng was sighing at the earthworms by the river and feeling something.
It wasn't until the sky brightened and the morning light arrived that he got back into his cave.
[In the sixth month, you develop a stinger]
"Stinger!"
Zhao Meng turned his head and looked at his crotch, and sure enough he found a hardened stinger.
"The platypus actually has a venomous stinger!"
He touched it and exclaimed:
"What a strange structure this creature has!"
Without systematic prompts, he really wouldn't have discovered that a mammal could possess such a structure.
Zhao Meng studied his stinger. His stinger was on his hind limbs.
He didn't know the platypus's bone type, but based on his subjective impression, the sting seemed to grow on a human's heel.
"For kicking!"
"I don't know how toxic it is?"
He carefully recalled the news from his past life, and it seemed that he rarely heard of platypus poisoning people.
"Presumably the sting is not very lethal!"
"I don't know, what are the entries related to stings?"
"It doesn't matter how high the requirement is, as long as it can stun other creatures with poison!" Zhao Meng was pleasantly surprised to see such a structure.
Especially his situation in the real world made him not want to miss any opportunity.
"After systematic transformation and amplification, the clouds of the sunfish will become [cloud inheritance]."
"Then what will this stinger become after being simulated?"
Zhao Meng was full of expectations.
[The seventh month, eat and grow. 】
Zhao Meng's simulation became more positive, and the appearance of the sting brought a glimmer of light to his gloomy life.
In nature, the use of poison is one of the effective ways to defeat the weak against the strong.
In the real world, this principle also exists.
If he really becomes a master of poison, then his current danger may be solved.
Zhao Meng was full of hope,
The resulting appetite also increased greatly,
For a time, the insects, shrimps, and various 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 melancholy.
The important duty of living things is to reproduce. As an animal, Zhao Meng cannot avoid this.
Of course, with a human soul, he can also control the platypus from looking for a mate.
But in order to complete the simulation, he can only obey the competition and rewards given to living creatures by nature.
"By the way, if we don't follow the laws of nature to reproduce, will the simulation fail?"
Zhao Meng thought carefully about the animals he simulated, but he had never done such an experiment before.
In the past, he was very instinctive and happily participated in some kind of competition!
Of course, given his current situation, he doesn't have time to try this.
Zhao Meng shook his head gently and stopped thinking. He took advantage of the moonlight to follow his instinct and pursue something...
"over there!"
He saw three platypuses already fighting in an open water area, presumably fighting for their mates.
"Haha, here I come!"
Seeing the target appear, driven by instinct, Zhao Meng accelerated his swimming speed.
Zhao Meng thought that he could easily defeat these ducks with his experience as a human being.
Therefore, there was no hesitation and he was about to step forward to fight.
But at this moment, his duckbill suddenly felt a slight vibration.
A feeling of danger came to his mind.
"Oops, it's a predator!"
The next moment, Zhao Meng felt his body being bitten by something. He tried to struggle, but the bite force on his body was really terrifying.
Along with pain and blood, Zhao Meng lost consciousness:
[Simulation failed]
Looking at these words flashing in the shadow space, Zhao Meng felt very regretful, thinking that he was a veteran who had simulated several animals, yet he would make such a rudimentary mistake.
"It's all because of the rewards of nature that drove my instinctive behavior and made me ignore the surrounding environment."
"I actually forgot that reproduction 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 summarized the two most dangerous stages of simulated animals.
One is in the early childhood stage.
One is during the breeding period.
As for old age, animals rarely have the chance to live to old age. If there is no interference from human factors, they will be easily eliminated by nature once they become old and frail.
Needless to say, the dangerous juvenile stage, why is the breeding period dangerous...
Judging from the several animals he simulated,
During the breeding season, sea hares will link with each other to form an industrial chain. Zhao Meng saw with his own eyes that predators devoured the entire chain from top to bottom.
The fringed snipe, on the other hand, leaves its hiding place in the grass and competes for territory in the open space, easily attracting predators from the sky.
The reproduction process of sunfish has become a gluttonous feast in the sea.
In short, the reproduction process in nature is very dangerous.
Animals will leave their shelter and fight, giving predators an opportunity to take advantage.
Zhao Meng sometimes thinks that the reason why humans are shy about certain aspects and even keep them private may not be due to moral and legal restrictions.
But it was when primitive humans were still running in the wilderness.
They died because they multiplied to the point of forgetfulness.
This lesson is engraved in human genes, causing humans to unconsciously stay away from the wild and enter caves and houses.
Even until mankind entered the civilized era,
In public or in an empty place, there will be an indescribable feeling. That feeling is engraved in genes, whether it is shyness, fear, or social death, legal and moral constraints.
In short, reproduction is a duty given by genes and a reward given by nature for a living creature. However, there are also dangers here and it cannot be done in public.
"It's really not my fault!"
At this time, Zhao Meng had just adapted to the human body. Looking at the dark mountains and forests outside the window, he muttered to himself:
"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 vulnerable to the revenge of nature!"
"We need to be more cautious going forward."
"I don't have much time left!"
Thinking of this, Zhao Meng's consciousness entered the shadow space again, and a new simulation began.
[In the first month, you were born from an egg! 】
…
[In the first year and six months, you start to look for something under the instinctive trend]
After 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 comparable to that of the beaver. This size is not high in the food chain.
Therefore, he went into hiding at the first sign of trouble.
After dealing with the predator, Zhao Meng finally approached the female platypus at a safe opportunity.
Although predator-free, the female was surrounded by three male platypuses.
Looking at the three male ducks blocking the road,
Zhao Meng understood that the next step was to fight these males with their poisonous stings.
