A reasonably developed ninja world

167. The wet bone forest and the birth of slugs.

"So for so many years, no one has discovered the wet bone forest. Except that the wet bone forest is located in the westernmost part of the continent, it is a wild place that even the ninjas of the Kingdom of Earth and the Kingdom of Wind have never set foot on. Biquge is even more so because of the wet bone forest. The core area of ​​the bone forest is surrounded by layers of ravines arched out by the slugs. If there is no one to guide you, you will get lost. There are not such abundant underground water resources in the periphery. If you get lost, you will die of thirst."

A big slug did nothing all day long, just squirming from one end to the other, and from one end to the other, creating a forest of wet bones. What kind of spirit is this? How inspiring!

Inspirational ghost, he is a slug, not an earthworm! It’s almost like I’m full and have nothing to do.

"I said, this slug itself is too idle." Uncle Slug is not a slug commander, so Nagata can complain casually, "No, since this place was a barbaric land before, logically speaking, no There should be creatures like slugs. Even if foreign creatures migrate, they will not choose such a place that is completely unsuitable for slugs to grow. Why shouldn't such big slugs be born? "

According to the truth, one side of water and soil nourishes one side of life. The characteristics of living things should be adapted to the local natural environment.

Although places lacking water, such as deserts, are not completely devoid of living things. There are still scorpions and lizards. But most animals have crustacean exoskeletons, which can keep the water in their bodies from evaporating easily.

There is a lack of water on the periphery of the Moist Bone Forest. The water resources are groundwater dug out by slugs, so a paradox arises here. Slugs create a watery environment. Slugs need a water environment to survive. Isn’t this the age-old conundrum of which came first, the chicken or the egg?

Moved from other places? It shouldn't be. Ninjas can't even get over. How did the slugs come all the way over mountains and rivers without being evaporated to dryness? I want to go to a place with abundant water resources. Who moved to such a ghost place?

Could it be that this is a literary slug? You couldn't think about it and committed suicide? Or is this an adventurer slug? Risk your life to explore the continent?

Or maybe it was picked up by a bird? What kind of stupid bird flies over thousands of mountains and rivers with a slug in its mouth without eating it. Come to a place where birds don't poop. I was so tired and hungry that I vomited my only ration of food and water!

This slug fell to the ground. It was not broken to pieces or evaporated to dryness. It was still alive and well. Living a pretty good life, he became the overlord of one party and worked hard to build his own business - Shigu Forest.

What kind of miracle of life is this! It is simply more impressive than Wang Duoyu, the second master who started from scratch, earned billions of net worth, and even supported a second male lead.

"Actually, we are not immigrants here, but local creatures. Didn't I explain before that the water in the Moist Bone Forest is groundwater, and we slugs were also creatures living in the groundwater system before."

"It's still wrong. You said before that you slugs are not willing to get close to the cold underground water. Slugs live on plants and a small amount of corrosive substances. If they live underground, even if there is geothermal heat to solve the temperature problem, they cannot come into contact with it. Except for a few parasitic plants and saprophytes, most plants cannot carry out photosynthesis and have no way to survive under sunlight. How to solve your food problem? "Call me witty little Nagata.

"Ah ah ah. What a troublesome brat. None of the previous contractors were as difficult to deal with as you. There are some secrets with a long history involved. Although there is nothing that cannot be said, but It's still a waste of time to get up. I'm also going to take a warm bath."

"Speak quickly, speak quickly. After you finish speaking, go take a shower. Half of the words are enough to keep you appetizing." Nagata became interested.

If it is some village secret, Nagata promises not to pry. The more he knows, the sooner he will die. If you are not kidnapped by the enemy, you will be silenced by your own people. But since this is something that has a long history, it doesn’t matter. Even if it is a secret, the confidentiality time limit has long passed and can be unsealed.

"Although there are no plants underground, there are still animals. Of course there are no living things in some groundwater that seeps out of rock formations. But in some water systems connected to external water networks, fish will swim along underground waterways to us. In fact , Commander Slug spends most of his time dealing with those greedy fish that suddenly appear. Certain amphibian creatures can climb ashore to eat slugs.

Have you noticed that we slugs can command schistosomiasis? That's because the predecessor of our slugs is schistosomiasis. It obtains nutrients by adsorbing on the bodies of certain giant fish to maintain life and reproduction.

Such as sansho fish. It is a good parasitic object. To other creatures, the highly poisonous sansho fish is an untouchable existence. But when it comes to schistosomiasis that can adapt to almost any blood, the highly toxic nature of the Sanshou fish is not a big deal. It can be said that schistosomiasis is the natural enemy of mountain pepper fish.

When slugs are still schistosomes, they will choose a relatively warm underground space. Most of the time, it is in a dormant state. The mountain pepper fish will crawl here to rest under the control of biological instinct. When the schistosomiasis senses the vibration of the Sansho fish, it wakes up from dormancy, crawls out of the ground, and secretly attaches itself to the Sansho fish.

Once attachment is complete. It's hard to break free. The skin on the schistosomiasis can successfully filter out oxygen even in water. Even if the mountain pepper fish sinks into the cold water, the schistosomiasis can obtain enough heat to sustain life by decomposing the blood of the mountain pepper fish. Until the sansho fish dies. "

I have to admire the magic of nature. Even underground where there is no light all year round. A set of its own biological chain system was also born. Shrimp eats microorganisms, fish eats shrimp, san pepper fish eats fish, and schistosomiasis eats san pepper fish.

"It seems that there is no external force to break it, and this system should always exist. Schistosomiasis will not turn into vegetarian slugs, right? Is there any external force that interferes?"

The evolutionary instinct of living things will only evolve towards the state that is most conducive to survival. For example, if there is not enough food in the forest, animals will move to the plains. The lower-growing leaves are eaten away, and the giraffe's neck becomes longer.

But there are obviously no plants, so why do schistosomiasis turn into slugs that are completely unadapted to this environment?

"The external force is that the Immortal of Six Paths is here." Uncle Slug's tone revealed a feeling of reminiscence.

"Six Paths Immortal?" This matter can also involve Six Paths Immortal!
