Summoner, he is never alone

Chapter 291

For a moment, Ye Xu couldn't think of how to politely reject the other party's request, so he stayed there on the spot.

But the Elf Queen is a very decisive person, she directly asked someone to come over with a plate of green fruits with golden patterns.Not to mention, these fruits are very beautiful, with a faint transparent color, and you can vaguely see the little elf babies curled up inside, all of them are delicate and cute with baby fat.

Ye Xu couldn't hold it back, and stretched out his hand to touch the fruit, but the touch of his fingertips was not cold, but rather warm.

Seeing that he was attracted by the elf babies, the elf queen's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly sold them harder: "As long as you want, these babies can become your contract pets! When they grow up, you can send them back! Look at how cute they are, and you won't resist whatever you want, I promise!"

"..." Ye Xu looked at the Elf Queen in surprise, never expecting her to be such a Queen.

But, there is only one pet position left for Ye Xu, and there is no way to contract so many cubs.So he could only shake his head regretfully, telling the other party that he couldn't help.

And even if he has a position, he doesn't know how to hatch elves!

Don't those novels all say that the elf fruit grows on the elf mother tree, and it will fall off automatically when it matures.In some texts, it is set to fall into the spring of the elves under the tree, and then the fruit splits in two and the baby elves fly out, while in some, the elders catch the fallen fruit, and then the babies come out.

In short, when the fruit falls off, the elf has reached the birth point, and it can get out by itself without any external help.In those routines in the past, Ye Xu only saw the mother tree no longer bear fruit, but never saw the fruit grow out and the result was old and not broken.

"Could it be that you picked these fruits yourself?" Ye Xu couldn't help asking.

Otherwise, it doesn't make sense for the fruit to fall off and not break the shell, unless it was pulled down from the mother tree by these silly elves in advance, so the nutrition is not enough.

After Ye Xu asked, he felt that this was too nonsense, and he must have guessed wrong.Maybe these elf babies really couldn't break their shells after falling off, and something unexpected happened.

Hasn't the shark tribe next door already verified the feasibility of the dragon and phoenix tribe using blood to incubate cubs?The elves can definitely succeed if they follow suit. The dog is so lazy in planning, it is impossible to set up a variety of different hatching conditions. If it were him, he would use the whole race in one way, which saves effort.

However, I never expected that all the elves on the opposite side showed awkward but polite smiles.

Ye Xu was startled: "I am Cao?" He guessed right after talking nonsense? !

"What's the matter?" Ye Xu hurriedly asked, "Why did you take them off in advance? Is it because they never fall?"

The elf queen's beautiful face revealed a melancholy expression, and she also felt a little self-reproach: "The thing is like this..."

Since the Dragon Clan and others began to be unable to hatch their cubs, similar situations gradually appeared in other special races in the Commonwealth.Except for the viviparous through union like the human race, which can reproduce normally, the rest of the oviparous races all suffer.

In fact, the six major races, including elves and mermaids, have not had a newborn in these years. Otherwise, wouldn't it be very awkward for mermaid players and elf players?Newborns are all born through viviparous birth without exception, but the player skips the stage from birth to youth.

"You mean, the combination of the elves can also successfully give birth to a child through pregnancy?" Ye Xu asked.

The queen nodded: "That's right, but the children born in this way are not as strong as the ones bred by the mother tree, but they will be more mature mentally. The elves bred by the mother tree are more innocent and simple, while the children born in the viviparous will be more understanding of the sinister heart."

With the expansion of the number of races, the number of pure natural elves bred by the mother tree over the years has become less and less.After all, there is only one mother tree, and how many cubs are rationed each year, but there is no limit to viviparous births. The larger the population, the greater the number of newborns.

The situation is the same with the Shark Clan, except that all cubs of the Shark Clan are conceived through union, and all are oviparous.And these newborn mermaids are all mixed blood, not purebred mermaids.

"The combination of the mermaid clan and the foreign race depends on the suppression of the bloodline." The elf queen knew the news very well, and she patiently explained when Ye Xu was curious, "The bloodline of the mermaid clan is not as good as that of the mermaid clan, and the baby will be born in the shape of a mermaid. It looks like It looks not much different from ordinary merman, but the fish tail will not be as beautiful as purebred ones, and the control of water elements will be weaker, depending on the blood concentration."

Under normal circumstances, the Mermaids like to combine with the Humans, because the Humans control the most water elements among other races, unlike the Elves, which basically have wood attributes.As for the dragons with all attributes, the number is far less than that of humans, so it is convenient and fast to find humans to combine.

Of course, there is another one of them, that is, the blood suppression of the human race is the weakest.They are basically combined with any special race, and the children born will be suppressed by the blood of the special race, resulting in children with the characteristics of that race.

The combination of the mermaid race and other races may not necessarily give birth to mermaids, but they will never overturn when looking for humans.And as long as the pregnant person is not a shark, then a baby-sized shark baby will be directly born in a viviparous way.If it is reversed, it will be a dilemma for the sharks to give birth to normal-sized shark eggs and continue to fail to hatch.

"So over the years, after gradually discovering that cub eggs can't hatch, most races have chosen to rely on viviparous births to solve the fertility problem. There are not a few people like the mermaid race who are forced to find foreign races to combine, and many of them don't really prefer foreign races. At least the Shark Race themselves hope to give birth to purebred babies." Her Majesty the Queen said softly.

In fact, her meaning has been expressed very clearly, that is, the hatching method of cub eggs discovered by Ye Xu is very important to special races, and those races are very grateful to him in private.Don't look at the fact that the Sharks don't show it on the surface, in fact they have already given Ye Xu a very high courtesy.

As for the elves, the supreme ruler, the elf queen, personally received them.

Ye Xu was a little curious: "Aren't the elves born from the combination of elves also pure blood elves? For you, the natural elves bred by the mother tree should not be as precious as the shark eggs of the shark tribe?"

"No, on the contrary." The queen shook her head. "It is because of the scarcity that it is more precious. And the mother tree is the belief of our family, and the status of children born from the mother tree is different."

It's hard for the Queen to elaborate on how different they are. This is an internal secret of the elves.Of course, Ye Xu didn't ask any more questions, but just nodded to express his understanding.

But after talking for a long time, the queen still didn't explain why she picked the elf fruit in advance!Ye Xu stared at her, signaled her not to talk nonsense with his eyes, and hurried to the point.

The queen gave a dry cough, and the following narration was obviously not as vivid as before. She just heard her say: "Although everyone has guessed why the dragons cannot hatch their eggs, there is actually no evidence. Why can't the elves hatch our own eggs?" But I know it. Because the mother tree has withered a lot, it is obviously not as lush and green as before."

Fearing that Ye Xu would not understand, she took out three paintings, which were the mother tree in the prosperous period, the later mother tree and the current mother tree.Ye Xu took it and inspected it one by one, and found that the mother tree was very luxuriant and huge at the beginning, and it looked very majestic, with dense elf fruits hanging on it, obviously it was the glorious period of elves.

The second picture showed obvious changes. The leaves of the mother tree were thinned by at least half, and the leaves also changed from emerald green to yellowish, just like a patient suffering from hair loss.Apart from the leaves, the branches also looked less healthy than before, and the elf fruits hanging on the tree also became sparse.

However, it is worth mentioning that even though the mother tree itself seems to have suffered from diseases and insect pests, the elf fruits are not much different from before.Obviously, even if the mother tree sacrificed itself, it did not treat the children badly, and ensured the nutritional supply of the cubs, but it did not have enough energy, and no matter how frugal it was, the children could not get enough energy to break the shell.

The last chapter is that the mother tree has regained its glory. Although it is not as good as the beginning, it is much better.There is no fruit on the tree, but it doesn't look like something is wrong and can't give birth to new life. It should be that the babies have broken their shells, so the tree is temporarily empty, waiting for the next batch of cubs to appear.

The Queen of the Elf confirmed Ye Xu's guess: "We used the blood of the elves to make nutrients and irrigate the mother tree regularly. With the supply of these abilities, the mother tree has regained its vitality, and there is still room for the fruits on the tree to break their shells normally. .”

Ye Xu understood, the cubs that hadn't been plucked in advance had already been born, and only the ten cubs in the tray that had been separated from the mother tree in advance could not break their shells.This is the same as a fetus that is cut off from the mother's body halfway through pregnancy. Even if you find a way to provide energy to them now, you can't guarantee that the child will be completely healthy. After all, nothing can compare to natural pregnancy.

"We have tried soaking these ten fruits with nutrients, but although they have absorbed enough energy and have reached the stage of breaking their shells, they have been unable to come out." The queen was very worried that these ten babies would suffocate themselves in the fruits Something went wrong.

Ye Xu looked at the ten cubs again and again, and couldn't help asking: "So why did you pick them up early? You've been avoiding this question for half an hour."

The elf queen froze for a moment, and explained dryly: "Just... I just felt that the mother tree couldn't hatch, and it might need to be hatched in some other way, so after discussing with the elders, we decided to pick a few fruits for experimentation. Can it be hatched manually?"

Because they knew from the beginning that it was due to the insufficient nutrition of the mother tree, the elves were not as clueless as the dragons and did not dare to mess around. They began to replenish energy for the mother tree with a purpose.But it's a pity that they didn't think of using the elf blood. Instead, they went outside to find other treasures full of wood-type energy, and tried to extract the power from it to irrigate the mother tree.

Obviously, this method failed, and the mother tree was completely unable to absorb the energy.Only elf blood, which is born from the mother tree, can flow back to the mother tree. Even if they don't use blood, burying the elves' remains under the tree is more useful than those wooden treasures.

Of course, the elves can't do this kind of thing. They feel that the dead body will pollute the mother tree, and they have always been buried far away.

The elves who failed the experiment mistakenly believed that they could not artificially provide energy for the mother tree, and could only let the mother tree accumulate by itself, so they came up with a genius idea - to pick off the fruits individually and feed them energy one by one.

The mother tree is so big that the energy fed into it does not know whether it can reach the fruit, so it is better to feed it in a targeted manner.Moreover, the mother tree has paid too much to provide energy for the fruits, making itself bald. If these fruits are picked off, the mother tree can save a lot of energy supply, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.

But picking it in advance is a very dangerous behavior, and they are not sure whether it can be successfully conceived, so they didn't pick all of them immediately, but picked ten fruits with different attributes, which corresponded to the ten elements one by one.If it succeeds, it won't be too late to pick other ones. If it fails, they won't be able to hatch after so many years anyway, and the loss is not that big.

In the end, they chose the oldest batch of ten fruits. These fruits are likely to be at the end of their lives. If they have to sacrifice, sacrificing them is the best choice.

The result became the current situation, their experiment was ineffective, at most it ensured that the babies who were picked did not die because they were separated from their mothers.After getting the best method provided by Ye Xu, these ten cubs could not be hatched, and the other cubs hanging on the tree were successfully born without any side effects.

The elf queen felt very guilty because of this, and felt that she had done a hugely stupid thing, and she was very sorry for these cubs.The queen is willing to pay a huge price for them to break out of their shells intact.
