Even the queen in the Demonic City is of importance because she is a "model" of the Demonic Society, not because she is a "mother".

"Producer" or "egg spawners", those individuals who specialize in producing demon cubs do not have the status of human mothers in their offspring.

The reason why humans value mothers is much smaller instinctively. Yao Yan believes that most of the reasons are determined by acquired education, the atmosphere and collective concepts in society.

In this demon society where "culture" and "concepts" have not yet developed, what status can "mother" have?

Yao Yan looked at the forest and made a judgment on the family-style collective formed by "mother" as the bond.

Fragile bond.

As long as there are those who are stronger than the "mother" among the offspring, "power seizure" will easily occur.

This situation is countless among the animals in nature.

The forms, genes and abilities of demons will make it more difficult for them to form a collectivized society.

unless......

Yao Yan had an idea.

What special role does "mother" have in their genes?

There are many ways to "special roles".

For example, a special structure that has been vaguely formed in the demon society now.

The queen can induce the differentiation of demon cubs.

The queen can secrete a large amount of hormones, and pheromones help them.

In short, what is needed is a "functional".

If it is a "tool person".

Or it may extend the growth time of the cubs.

The mother has an important position in human society. One of the main "cause of formation" is the raising period of human cubs.

It doesn't mean physiological maturity or anything.

But "independence".

When human society has developed to a certain extent, the time when the "pup period" ends is the time when they are financially independent and can live on their own.

Compared with primitive society, the "pup period" of human beings has been essentially extended.

In terms of animal description.

If mothers give up on their cubs early and let them live on their own, generally speaking, the premature death rate is often higher than the ones who release their cubs later.

From the perspective of natural elimination selection, the latter has a high "survival rate" and is more likely to leave offspring, so there will be more such individuals than the former.

Of course, this is in the case of controlling variables.

It is not OK to add ambiguous characteristics of better brain and stronger body to the former.

What increases relative to the mother's raising time is the dependence of the offspring on the mother.

This is also an inference drawn from the perspective of natural elimination.

Through this method, the status of "mother" in the group can be enhanced.

A method that says it is simple and difficult.

After the social structure develops and the conceptualization of social behavior, the role will be transformed into concepts, into culture, and into various "traditions" that live in the consciousness of demons.

The collective is a refrigerator and petri dish of "experience" and "knowledge".

However, in this case, there are many things that can be put into it and affect future generations.

The newborn demons' collective is too likely to use "mother" as a bond to maintain the group structure.

Only by using "survival" as a bond and gradually elevating the status of "mother" is feasible.

However, soon, when thinking about the issue related to "mother", Yao Yan realized another problem.

A problem that may soon happen in the Magic City.

Is "production capacity" itself a kind of "redundancy" for the demon society?

In the case where most offspring are produced by producers and incubators, will the "production capacity" be abandoned by individuals who are not responsible for production?

After that, it will be similar to the "bee swarm" or more thorough. Units in the demon who are not responsible for production will lose their fertility organs and abilities.

If the current demons are considered "bi-gender" that can be self-infected, then these will become genderless?

No, this statement is not true.

The genderless individuals in nature during his lifetime were also fertile.

Keep some "universal cells", which can turn these individuals into producers when the demon population loses their special producers.

A social structure similar but not exactly consistent with the bee colony.

Or...

Individuals who are specifically responsible for producing treasure chests?

Bisexual reproduction, exchange of mixed genes is more likely to produce gene mutations.

For the demon society, individuals with excellent genes are "treasure chests".

Yao Yan is not sure whether there will be such structural individuals who are specifically responsible for the production of mutant genes in the demon society, but he believes it is very likely...

However, the chaotic thoughts were quickly interrupted.

“Prepare for action.”

Five gene hunters called him with basically consistent voices and movements.

Yao Yan's thoughts returned. After confirming the action, the six demons were ready to separate, looking for an upward place that could hide their bodies and be suitable for ambushing...

The dense pheromone spread towards the forest.

......

Inside the forest.

Thirty demons were silently staying in place, on the ground without shade, as if they were asleep, like plants.

It is different from the demon society who chose to create "perfect creatures" as a means to "survival".

This demon collective, as a means of "survival" goal, is just a general survival.

During the day, "feed" through photosynthesis, store energy and move yourself towards the next stage.

Go hunting on a cloudy rainy day when there is not enough light.

This is their way of action, basically consistent with the lone demon.

However, because of collectivization, they can hunt larger prey, and during the day they need to be separated by a distance because they take root, and need a relatively large territory.

Apart from these, they are not much different from ordinary demons.

However, at this time, these demons who were like plants, closing their eyes and resting suddenly opened their eyes.

One after another.

The soles of their feet, the roots that spread toward the ground, retracted, and the disguiser's ability allowed them to change their postures from rooted forms to hunting forms.

And their hunting form...

The outline of the body that was originally similar to that of humans had crawled down at this time.

On their feet, there were soft bulges like meatballs of felines, and some things similar to bark were added to the key areas.

As the largest demon body growled, half of the thirty demons rushed out of their habitat.

......

Yao Yan looked at all this from afar.

Nearly twenty demons can't be dealt with alone.

In terms of body shape, in this group of demons, only the leading demon was developed for the third time, just like the gene hunters.

And the others are basically secondary development.

But even so, it is not simple.

It will take a while for the demon to grow completely and then replenish a lot of energy for secondary development.

One month to one year uncertain-

There are no specialized individuals in the demon society who are specifically responsible for assisting the secondary and third development to ensure that they will not die. It is not uncommon for these demons to die due to conflicts in the secondary and third development of the demons.

Some people who are not nutritious may even starve to death during this process.

A group of demons with this number of scales is far inferior to that of demon cities, but it is also a powerful group.

What a pity? I was born at the wrong time?

Yao Yan had no sigh, but just hid his body and stopped the release of pheromone.

Like other gene hunters, this time he released pheromones to interfere.
