Renault glanced at the residual limbs, and the silk thread immediately hung them to move, just like playing a jigsaw puzzle, quickly putting them together.

This sea monster is almost a magnified version of the three-claw monster. The appearance, color and scales on the body surface are generally the same, only one point is different. It has 5 tentacles at the center, not the three-pronged three-claw monster.

Obviously, this is a five-claw monster.

No, maybe it should be called a "four and one-half" claw.

Because the length of one of the tentacles is almost half shorter than the other four, it seems that this is a tentacle that has not fully grown.

Fortunately, among the ghost claws in this sea area, the number of five claws is the least. I didn't expect that the first ghost claw to be hunted was the five claws.

After looking at the five-claw monster, Renault felt a little confused. Judging from the appearance characteristics, the five-claw monster and the three-claw monster should belong to the same species, but why their number of tentacles is different?

This obviously doesn't make sense.

It is also worth noting that the more tentacles, the stronger the strength, which gives Renault a sense of sight when playing games.

The three-claw monster is just a normal sea monster. After one more tentacle grows, it will become a rare sea monster with 4 tentacles. When the number of tentacles becomes 5, it will be upgraded to an elite sea monster.

But the question is, this is not a game in particular, so what kind of **** is there to say "a tentacled one level up"?

This is obviously a fantasy world, why is there such a weird thing?

He only thought of one explanation-this was the mutation caused by magical energy.

In other words, directional mutation.

Reynolds understands this way. In the genetic sequence of the ghost claw, most of the gene fragments are in a dormant state, which are "redundant" genes, which can also be called "recessive gene fragments."

Corresponding to it is the "dominant gene segment", which is the gene that is expressed.

But in this world, recessive genes will not sleep forever. When the mana level of the ghost claw reaches a certain level, a small segment of the gene will be activated and transformed into a dominant gene.

The genetic change is reflected in the body, and the ghost claw will grow a new tentacle like a sprouting tree, so the three claws are "upgraded" to four claws, and the four claws become five claws.

The same is true for this five-claw monster that was unloaded by Renault for eighteen yuan, but its tentacles have not had time to fully survive.

To some extent, three-pronged monsters and five-pronged monsters can be considered to be the same race, because they have exactly the same genes, or they can be regarded as different races, because the gene fragments expressed are different.

What's even more amazing is that this mutation is very consistent, all of which are long tentacles, and there will be no messy mutations. In short, this is an extremely stable "directional" mutation.

Even in the alien world where there are so many mutant creatures like dogs, the ghost claws can be regarded as insulting.

This theory is also applicable to the evolution of humans in other worlds. For example, ordinary people become awakened, and awakened are promoted to transcendents, and this is also inseparable.

The former is a kind of "directional" mutation. The awakened people in the entire human world are all the same, while the latter is a "random" mutation. The extraordinary powers mastered by the extraordinary have different attributes and no longer tend to be consistent.

All of this stems from the magical magic energy, which plucked the string called "mutation" in the gene fragment.

On the coast of Three Claw Island, the island guards had just shot and killed a three claw monster. They were busy breaking down the corpse, stacking the peeled skins aside, and the sea monster meat was cut into pieces and stacked. In a wooden box with ice cubes.

At this moment, in the dim night sky in the distance, a shadow suddenly appeared, and it grew bigger in the blink of an eye, flying over the crowd.

Some of the discerning and clever players heard the wind and immediately looked up. However, most of the people's eyes only caught a huge white shadow falling from the sky, and only a few people vaguely perceived a black shadow that went far away at an extremely rapid rate. .

"boom……"

Bai Ying hit the ground heavily, making an extremely heavy muffled noise, and immediately a puff of dust rose up on the ground, sand and gravel shot indiscriminately, everyone was shocked, and hurriedly began to dodge.

After that, the white shadow rolled a few times, its size was huge, its weight was also surprisingly heavy, and even the ground shook slightly.

After the dust was blown away by the night wind, the team members realized that this turned out to be a huge block of ice with a length of more than 20 meters. It shone under the light of the bonfire, and it was like a mountain of crystals.

"Look, everyone, there is something inside the iceberg..." a team member exclaimed.

Others crowded around after hearing the words and looked at the iceberg curiously.

I saw a lot of tentacles covered with scales in the ice. Everyone killed the three-clawed monster for a few hours and could recognize it with closed eyes. This was clearly the tentacles of the ghost claw.

In terms of size, this ghost claw is much larger than the three claw monster, and the number of tentacles seems to be more. There is no doubt that its strength is stronger than the three claw monster.

After seeing this scene, they still don't understand that this must be the prey killed by Lord Lord. They didn't expect Lord Lord to walk for a few minutes before hunting down a more powerful ghost claw.

Seeing that his subordinates were talking around the iceberg, and even the task of hunting the sea monster was left behind, Moose's face turned black and he shouted:

"During the mission, no unauthorized actions are allowed, everyone returns to their positions quickly..."

The team members immediately ran to their respective positions, and the team leaders hurled the team members to urge them to move faster.

Everyone knows that in the execution of the mission, His Excellency Moose is like a person who has changed. He is so severe that he is scary. He is no longer the usual amiable and extraordinary Lord. If you don't obey the command, there will be absolutely no good fruit.

If it is an ordinary team member who made the mistake, not only the team member will be punished by military law, but even the team leader directly under it will be unlucky and charged with ineffective discipline.

If it is the team leader who made the mistake, the consequences will be more serious and the punishment will be more severe, or the company leader's position will be directly banned.

As a team leader, you can't lead by example. Who do you call if you don't call him?

Seeing that the formation was fully restored, Moose's face was slightly awkward, and he quickly issued a series of orders:

"Stanfield, give priority to Lord Lord's prey..."

"Longstreet, you go to negotiate with the group of civilians and hire 20 civilians temporarily to help dig the ice. This iceberg is too big and we need more manpower..."

After Renault killed two more four-claw monsters, he ended the "fishing operation" hastily.

It's not that he doesn't want to continue to learn experience, but that the hunting efficiency is too low, and it is no different from finding a needle in a haystack.

In the dark sea, no one knows where there are ghost claws. He can only wander around, all by luck. Before killing the second four claw monster, he spent half an hour on the surface of the sea. The wind hit this four-claw monster.

This made Renault couldn't help sighing that if he could create a fishing artifact like a "fish finder", then he could drive a battleship and bring a group of his men all over the world to hunt large sea monsters.

It is a pity that there is no such thing as "electricity" in the alien world, there is no way to make an "ultrasonic generator", let alone a fish finder.

The only hope is to use magic power to create sound waves and develop a magic version of the fish finder.

But the problem is that he has already asked Seth of the Rune Research Institute, the rune magician of the whole world, and he has not been able to find the rune of sound waves. In the discipline of rune literature, the application of acoustics is completely Blank.

In other words, within a short period of time, there is no chance of lighting up the technology tree related to acoustics. Maybe there will be no hope in 5 or 10 years.

Thinking of this, Renault shook his head, holding the ice block containing the four-claw monster and flying across the night sky at high speed.

Forget it, let's go back to supper...

The meat of the ghost claw is sticky, soft and tender. With his experience as a master chef, this is a kind of meat that is extremely suitable for making sizzling meat.

Cut it into thin slices of meat and grill it for a while on an iron plate above 500 degrees. You don't need to add any seasoning, just sprinkle a little sea salt. The taste is so good that you can't wait to swallow your tongue.

Hey, just thinking about it, the saliva can't stop flowing...

Well, make another meat soup, there is soup and meat, this supper is perfect...
