Crow's Paradise

In addition to these producers of "food" fruits, there is also a category that is specifically responsible for producing young.

At this point, it's a bit close to a bee swarm.

Oh, I should say narrow it down to bees.

Worker bees in a bee colony can also lay eggs on their own, but they are suppressed by the queen bee, and their eggs will be cleaned by the queen bee.

The worker bees themselves are female bees formed from unfertilized eggs, so they should be fertile.

However, because of the developmental mechanism of bees——

If Yao Yan remembers correctly, during the development process of worker bees, most of them will actually have incomplete fertility development due to lack of royal jelly. At the same time, their organs will begin to become specialized, forming bees with specialized functions, so they are worker bees.

If they can continue to eat royal jelly, they will become queen bees.

Some worker bees are actually fertile. Perhaps they secretly consumed royal jelly, causing their underdeveloped ovaries to continue to develop, or it may be that these worker bees collectively consumed royal jelly openly after the colony lost its queen.

There are two situations before and after, so the queen bee will constantly clean the worker bee eggs.

In this demon society, a similar situation also occurs.

Not that the Majin Queen cleans up after her young.

Rather

The current Demon Queen is not only a pheromone emitter, but also a hormone provider.

Another type of demon who specializes in producing "fruits" produces demons that can develop into complete individuals.

The Demon Queen will be responsible for cleaning up those individuals that are deformed and cannot fully develop.

Moreover, she will continuously provide hormones similar to royal jelly to shorten the development time of these demons.

Also, she will provide preliminary guidance on development direction.

If a demon develops on its own, it will develop with a comprehensive tendency to exist independently in the natural environment, but it will appear redundant in a group.

The Demon Queen will guide their development in a certain direction to reduce unnecessary waste.

The more familiar Yao Yan became, the more he understood what an efficient war machine this demon society was.

But it’s only preliminary development——

The Queen's power is not that great.

In this demon city, there are other facilities responsible for guiding growth.

These facilities will guide subsequent development and provide different nutrients to the demons in different directions.

If the Queen is kindergarten, then these development rooms are from elementary school to high school.

The day he leaves the development room, a demon is already a highly specialized individual, embedded in the society of demons as a cog.

No, how can humans compare with these demons?

Yao Yan couldn't help but shook his head.

The level of training of human beings in educational institutions such as schools is far inferior to that of demons.

The devil is directly arranged from birth to death.

Of course, when humans with fuzzy judgment mechanisms hear examples, they often feel "like" them, unable to quantify them in their minds, and further "yes" due to the flaw of fuzzy judgment mechanisms.

Do you think the physical form of the devil is human society? How fuzzy is the judgment mechanism before it is considered consistent?

Yao Yan was not sure. The differences between human individuals are not small, and brainless individuals do not exist.

Humans don't have a structure like the Majin Queen that will directly kill and clean up defective cubs.

There is no such thing as humanism in the demon society.

After taking one last look at the queen's palace and the warehouse storing human relics and other demonic artifacts, Yao Yan decisively followed the other "gene hunters" out.

Yes, the life form of Yao Yan's body is not a "perfumer", but a "gene hunter".

This is Yaoyan’s judgment and naming after accurately understanding his social functions.

Although it is similar to the perfumer and has the same ability to emit pheromones, this body has a few more abilities.

Gene hunting and storage.

It sounds like maybe just collecting flesh and blood and bringing it back?

Maybe, but this body can also form hormone substances that can reverse the differentiation of differentiated cells for certain organisms, and inject them into the target's body.

Then, bring those genes back.

These genes will be targeted and specialized by specialized demon individuals, developing a more powerful differentiation ability than the individuals from which the genes originated.

Rough and raw?

At this time, Yao Yan had already crossed out his initial judgment.

After careful understanding and identification, this seemingly rough social form is just his misunderstanding, and can even be said to be a disguise of a demon.

For example, there is a huge area underground in this demon society, but on the surface it is a small city made up of only one giant tree.

However, his thoughts were soon interrupted.

Either because of what happened with Lijire, or because of the other gene hunters around him.

"There are no creatures worth hunting around here anymore."

Said a demon who looked like Yao Yan.

"Indeed, the previous induced breeding during the estrus period did not produce mutant individuals worth hunting."

Another demon with a similar appearance said.

Yao Yan found what they said from his memory.

For the sake of "excellent genes", the demons performed various operations.

For example, induction can speed up the development of surrounding organisms, increase the number of estruses, and increase the breeding period.

"Gene variation" Sexual reproduction makes it easier to obtain excellent genes and mutations than individual reproduction.

The demon already knows this.

This was already known before they developed a social structure.

It is different from the fact that it took humans more than ten centuries to study it.

Even Yao Yan felt that they would understand it when they were underage when there was no social structure, when they acted alone.

After all, the demons themselves have the ability to integrate genes.

As loners, they rarely have the opportunity to pass on their experience and knowledge.

After collectivization and clustering, their discoveries were spread and continued among the group in various ways.

"Collective" is "experience" and the refrigerator of "knowledge".

"Collective" is "experience" and the petri dish of "knowledge".

He stared at the other gene hunters indifferently.

He was wondering, what kind of culture would develop from a demon society starting from this starting point? What kind of myths and legends will be formed? What will they focus on? If their spirits condense into a trial space, what kind of trial space will it be?

Even though there was no curiosity reward mechanism, Yao Yan also wanted to know.

However, it is not at the forefront.

Immediately, he spoke out:

"So, which demon are we going to hunt?"

These words made the five demons and the five gene hunters turn their attention.

Yao Yan looked at them indifferently.

If you hunt for excellent genes, the demons who can collect various genes will be like treasure chests in the game to their demon society.

I don’t know what kind of treasures can be found.
