deep sea evolution

Chapter 19 New ability, camouflage!

No species is superior or inferior.

All the evolution of living things is to better adapt to the environment.

In the process of evolution, the characteristics that help to leave more offspring will be preserved, which means that the population may evolve in one direction.

Mutation is a random event. Although the natural environment can play a guiding role in the evolution of organisms, the standard is only a broad sense of fitness and discomfort.

So even if it is the same species, the direction of evolution may be different.

The greatness of life lies in this.

In the process of adapting to the environment, different populations evolve in their own directions and adapt to nature, resulting in biological diversity.

The entropy value of the universe is increasing as a whole, and the emergence of intelligent creatures can better achieve this point.

Weak compensation.

When organisms develop to a certain extent, as the degree of existence decreases, in order to ensure their own stable survival, the descendant species will correspondingly increase and develop their ability to survive and structural attributes. This phenomenon is "compensation".

Compensatory abilities may be: swimming, flying, speed.

It can also be an offensive ability: Fangs, Claws, Devour.

Intelligence is also one of these compensatory abilities, which evolved gradually because of the initial needs of human hunting.

In the process of evolution, humans have added a lot of intelligence.

Human beings who can make and use tools can make many things to better adapt themselves to nature, and even have developed to the current level of technology, and can already try to change the environment.

But in terms of genetic excellence, there is actually not much difference between human beings and many species. At most, human beings point to intelligence attributes, while other creatures may point to physical strength or other attributes.

"During the process of devouring that person, my spiritual power has been enhanced a lot, but I haven't been able to obtain any other genes that are useful to me."

At this time, Ye Su, who had recovered his mental strength, couldn't help but secretly marvel.

By devouring human beings, he can obtain mental power supplements and spiritual power enhancements.

But that's all.

He is now the lord of the nearby tens of meters of sea area, his mental strength has reached a very high value, and his range has reached seven to eighty meters.

When he taught those humans some lessons before, he consumed a lot of mental power, and after devouring this human, he has already been replenished.

Mental power explored the nearby sea area, and Ye Su immediately sensed that there was a nearby fishing boat heading towards the area of ​​the sailors.

Someone should have heard the whistle of the sailors, found the sailors, and started to rescue them.

"Hehe, don't provoke me." Ye Su doesn't feel kind to humans, but as long as they don't harm his own interests, he won't be too cruel to them.

After devouring the big octopus, he completed another evolution.

The body length reaches three meters, and the tentacles grow to one meter.

There is not much change in other places, but the third eye is opened a little more.

At this time, he ordered the system to open the properties panel and checked his own properties.

Because he had to deal with that group of humans, after completing the evolution, he didn't have time to check his attributes, nor did he check the new abilities he had acquired.

The system mentioned that after devouring that big octopus, he will gain a new ability!
I haven't seen it yet, and I don't know what it is.

Ye Su felt faintly excited.

The attribute panel opened, and a light curtain appeared in front of Ye Su.

Host: Ye Su.

Form: Exotic fish (juvenile stage).

Lifespan: 180 days.

Level: LV7 (three meters)
Abilities: Devour, Enslave, Disguise, Lord.

Territory: 50 meters of sea area.

Language: Aqua (simple).

Evolution points: 121/1000.

……

"The ability to disguise?"

Ye Su was taken aback for a moment, and soon realized why after devouring this big octopus, he gained the ability to camouflage.

Octopus is an excellent camouflage in the ocean, it can change the color of its body surface to better adapt to the environment.

Coupled with its soft body, it is very easy for other creatures to distinguish it from the environment.

Using its excellent camouflage ability, it can disguise itself as coral, sea snake, and even bury half of its body in the sand, change the color of its body surface, and become a part of the sand.

In nature, every feat an animal possesses increases its chances of survival, which in turn increases its chances of reproduction, which is why some animals learn to camouflage.

Excellent camouflage ability can help octopuses to hunt and survive better.

After Ye Su devoured that big octopus, not only did his tentacles grow, but he also acquired its excellent camouflage ability?

This couldn't help but make him a little excited.

After acquiring this ability, he will be able to hunt even better!
And if you encounter danger, you can also integrate your body with the environment to achieve the effect of avoiding danger.

For him, the ability to disguise plays a very important role!

"I'll see how useful it is."

Ye Su swam to a coral reef, and the thought of changing color arose in his heart, and then the shield scales on his body immediately began to change color!
The speed of color change is very fast.

From the beginning to the end, the skin or shield scales on the surface of the body are all the same color as the surrounding environment, and they look almost the same.

Curling his body in the coral reef area, Ye Su almost merged with the coral reef!
"It's amazing." Ye Su secretly sighed.

Excellent camouflage means better assassination.

Just when Ye Su wanted to test his camouflage ability more, the voice of the system sounded again in his head.

"Congratulations to the host, you have devoured the big octopus, gained the ability to camouflage, and become the lord of the nearby sea area with a radius of 50 meters, dominating one side."

"Get the task: sweep the territory, devour all the powerful creatures in the territory, after removing these restless factors, the system will give a certain reward, do you accept the task?"

……

"The mission of sweeping the territory?" Ye Su immediately remembered that before he planned to devour the big octopus, he detected several powerful waves with his mental power.

Now to investigate carefully, it turns out that almost all of those powerful fluctuations exist.

It's just that now, because he has become a lot stronger and has become the lord of this sea area, he subconsciously ignores these fluctuations.

Looking at it now, those strong fluctuations are not considered weak, and they may really become a restless factor in his territory.

"Then devour all those creatures, just to see if I can try my new ability!"

Ye Su's heart skipped a beat, and he swam towards the source of the fluctuation!

Whoosh whoosh!
He swims very fast and has an astonishing size. His two tentacles are constantly moving in the water. Wherever he swims, all the weak and small creatures are trembling.

Now he already has a certain strength and can grow faster in this cruel environment.
