Chapter 206 Evolutionary Choice
Hu Qi ignored the fallen white-backed black bear and instead focused his attention on the three bear cubs that were being closely protected by the female white-backed black bear.

A trace of spiritual power quietly stretched out and penetrated directly into the bodies, bones, and flesh of the bear cubs like an invisible silk thread.

After a few seconds, he withdrew his mental power and turned to look at Dai Shu on the side thoughtfully.

"Comparison of the various numerical values ​​of the alien beasts on the surface and in the inner world, have you found any abnormalities?"

Dai Shu shook her head slightly.

“There is not much difference, at most there are some differences in habits.

However, according to the latest research results, it can be determined that these strange beasts should be primitive creatures that existed on the surface of the earth billions of years ago."

Hu Qi raised his eyebrows. This was within his expectations. The mental scan just now did not reveal anything special.

The surface of the earth is different from the center of the earth. The strange beasts found on the former are individual cases and cannot reproduce with their ordinary counterparts.

In this way, the possibility of bloodline dilution due to hybridization, which in turn leads to a reduction in the number of exotic beasts, is eliminated.

If exotic beasts cannot reproduce with ordinary creatures, then how did exotic beasts like the camphor tea duck come into being?

That could only be due to gradual evolution due to changes in the environment.

Evolution is the change in the genetic characteristics of biological populations over generations, which is usually due to factors such as natural selection, genetic drift, and gene flow.

Evolution is the result of random mutation and natural selection, without a predetermined 'good' goal.

Some evolved traits may be advantageous in the current environment, but changes in the environment may make these traits disadvantageous.

For example, before the Industrial Revolution, the white birch looper had an advantage in camouflage on tree trunks, but as industrial pollution turned tree trunks black, the black birch looper gained a survival advantage.

The same is true for strange beasts. The living environment in the inner world is different from that on the surface, so these strange beasts are extremely aggressive.

But after coming to the surface, some exotic beasts evolved and became the common creatures we are today.

This phenomenon is somewhat similar to a rumor that Hu Qi saw in his previous life, that is, the ancestors of birds and chickens were the former overlords of the blue planet - those dinosaurs that were several meters or even dozens of meters tall and weighed hundreds of tons.

It's just that with the passage of time, the oxygen content in the air has decreased, and the living environment has changed, and it is no longer suitable for such a large body size.

This is how it evolved into what it is today.

It is not the case that organisms will become stronger simply by evolving.

Because the ultimate goal of evolution is just to survive.

As for the strange beasts of today, they are caused by some kind of atavism.

After that, Hu Qi took a quick tour of the place and prepared to leave.

Before leaving, he had someone chop off one of the male white-backed black bear's front paws and took it back to use as a snack with his wine.

The loss of a bear paw does not affect the other party's reproductive function, but can also make the other party less irritable, which is simply killing two birds with one stone.

……

In the evening, the golden crow descended and the sky turned red, filled with sunset glow like fiery clouds.

Inside the courtyard, Hu Qi sat in front of a wooden table.

On the plate on the table lay a large piece of sizzling bear paw.

He picked up his knife and fork, cut off a piece, dipped it in a little pepper, wrapped it in lettuce, and put it in his mouth.

The moment you bite down, you first feel the crisp texture of the lettuce, followed by the tender and juicy grilled meat.

The unique fragrance of the alien beast spread in his mouth, mixed with the freshness of the lettuce, making Hu Qi breathe a sigh of satisfaction.

The days during this period were surprisingly dull for Hu Qi.

When I have nothing to do.

Tasting the soul-enhancing tea, eating the flesh of exotic beasts, searching for the vital points in the body, and collecting and inheriting secret martial arts, life is very fulfilling.

Especially the inherited secret martial arts. Over the past two months, he has collected all the inherited secret martial arts of the lower-level schools, and most of the middle-level schools, with only a few left.

With his current strength, it is easier for him to collect the inherited secret martial arts.

Combined with his hypnosis, even an airway master is nothing more than a puppet that can be manipulated at will in front of him.

It was fine before, but after experiencing the power of the Venerable Soul Refiner, Hu Qi understood that it was not impossible for the Shia Federation to collect and inherit secret martial arts.

With the spiritual power of the Soul Refiner, even if he doesn't have hypnosis skills, he can still completely crush the Qi Dao masters and those martial artists.

Even if some of the masters of some schools are stubborn and would rather perish together with their enemies, what can they do?
The Soul Refining Master can control your thoughts with just a thought.

The only reason why it remains like this is that I don't want to.

As for why, Hu Qi also has some guesses.

The seven major factions that may control the federation do not want to see this happen.

After all, once the secret martial arts are passed down and made public, the number of secret martial artists will skyrocket, and the consumption of precious medicines and spiritual materials will certainly increase.

This will to some extent squeeze the survival and development space of the superior schools.

For the Soul Refining Venerable, no matter how many ordinary secret warriors there are, they are of no use.

Just like a group of ants, you can kill a large number of them with just a slap.

Of course, Hu Qi didn't know whether there were other reasons.

……

Hu Qi collected his messy thoughts and looked to the side.

I saw a snake and a duck playing happily in the lake.

Before, Hu Qi also brought some medium-range black blood to feed the camphor tea duck. After all, the other party was an old employee who followed him, so he naturally couldn't treat him unfairly.

Unfortunately, nothing has changed. The only difference seems to be that I have become smarter.

As for Xiaobai, under the sweep of Hu Qi's mental power, there was no need for dissection at all.

You already know roughly what you need to know.

For him, the biggest use of these two exotic beasts now is to keep them as pets.

Shaking his head, he looked at the panel.

"It's almost time to continue improving my strength!"

"scarlet!"

Bloody words appeared before his eyes, and the panel had changed significantly compared to before.

The most obvious one is the [Taiyin Mingqiao Tulu Divine Attraction Method].

In addition to the Silver Frost Life Acupoint, three other life acupoints, namely Moonlight, Flowing Light and Night Sea, were opened.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to open more. It’s not difficult for him to activate the life orifice. The difficulty is that the location of the life orifice is too hidden.
