Chapter 870
“But our Holy Insect Clan’s strong ‘reproduction’ ability is a different concept altogether.”
"The Holy Insect Clan is not only strong in reproduction during the ferocious beast stage, but even after evolving into a player of all races, their reproduction ability is still quite outrageous."
"Firstly, the mother's gestation period is very short, and secondly, it is very common for a single pregnancy to result in eight or ten babies."
“In addition to that, we, the Holy Insect Clan, have another very special racial characteristic.”
At this point, Pingliang's expression changed slightly, as if he were a little embarrassed.
It's really embarrassing.
The term "racial trait" generally refers to an ability that all creatures of that race possess.
Furthermore, this ability will not appear on the player's stats panel.
In the era that Jiang Yi lived in, all races began to be keen on using sequence scrolls to accumulate avatars of other races in order to pursue some rare racial characteristics.
Some racial characteristics are very precious.
And his racial characteristics as a Sacred Insectoid...
Pingliang was slightly embarrassed, but he managed to compose himself and said it in a serious tone:
"The defining characteristic of our Holy Insect race is that we have no reproductive isolation from any other race."
"Furthermore, regardless of the race with which they reproduce, the offspring will all be Holy Wool Worms..."
"You must have heard about this, right?"
"There is no inherent reproductive isolation between different races."
"There are many races that can interbreed and reproduce with other races."
"However, the offspring of such hybridization generally possess characteristics of both races."
"For example, the liger, which is bred from the lion and tiger tribes, is both like a lion and a tiger."
"Therefore, the result of interbreeding is usually the birth of a new species."
"But other races that mate with our Sacred Insect Clan do not do this."
"Even if it's the Ancestral Dragon, if it were to interbreed with the Holy Wet Worm Clan, the offspring would inevitably be Holy Wet Worms..."
Damn it...
This was the first time Jiang Yi had heard this information, and he was greatly shocked.
He studied biology, so of course he knows about reproductive isolation.
I also know that there are cases of racial hybridization.
However, the hybridization he was familiar with was generally artificial.
I never imagined that the myriad races of this era would be so adept at playing their own games.
The situation regarding reproductive isolation and hybridization has been thoroughly investigated.
They even produced such an outrageous race...
There is no reproductive isolation with any race...
Jiang Yi couldn't help but think—
If, during the black market Q&A session, he had faced a multiple-choice question:
Which of the following races, along with all races, has no reproductive isolation?
He might guess it's a human.
After reading too many literary works, I feel like humans can fall in love with any race... cough cough.
Unexpectedly, this seemingly unserious question has such a serious answer—the Holy Wet Insect Clan.
But then he thought of—
Pingliang just said—
There is reproductive isolation among players who evolved from the Tumor Zerg.
As a result, those players were unable to reproduce...
Thinking of this, he looked at Pingliang.
Pingliang naturally knew what he wanted to ask, and nodded directly:
“That’s right, so our Holy Wool Insect Clan and the Longevity Tumor Insect Clan have quite a history.”
"Our Holy Insect Clan's territory has taken in many players of unknown origin, who then reproduced for us."
"Of course, the offspring will still be the Holy Wet Insect Clan."
"But because of this, in addition to our large population, some of our high-level Holy Wool Insects have also been influenced by the genes and heritage of other races."
“Other races only develop their own racial foundations. But my Holy Insect Clan has a very diverse foundation.”
"Basically, I know a little bit of everything, including divination and deduction."
