The old house of the Su family.

"0~0" Xiu Xue stuffed a large spoonful of beef into his mouth.

“(=▽=)...... "The gourmand gave a short comment and ate it.

Because her human figure was too short, and she couldn't reach the bowl when she sat on the dining chair, Su Lei put another maza on the dining chair, so that she could sit just right.

"Brother Liang, your skills are getting better and better, this beef brisket melts in your mouth, and it is crispy and delicious. The beef tendon is moderately sticky and chewy...... "Sister Chen's mouth is full of praise: "The dried bamboo shoots in here are also delicious......"

Su Lei smiled silently.

What he made today was roast beef with dried bamboo shoots. The main material is the belly of the cow and the meat close to the ribs, which is the soft muscles with tendons, meat, and oil, also called "brisket", and beef tendons. The side dish is dried bamboo shoots and carrots.

There are many side dishes for roast beef, although the potato roast beef is famous, but Su Lei thinks it is very average, he prefers dried bamboo shoots or winter bamboo shoots, followed by carrots, white radishes and soybeans.

If it is an ordinary person who makes dried bamboo shoots, he has to soak them repeatedly, and he has to prepare for at least a day, but the monk is not so troublesome, and he can do it directly with a few spells.

"This soup is delicious when poured into the rice...... "Chen Mei ate another big bowl of rice, patting her stomach and stopping.

She saw that Xiu Xue hadn't eaten, so she asked, "Xiu Xuexue, aren't you eating?"

“0~0...... Not proper!" Xiu Xue firmly refused.

Because her digestion efficiency of starch is extremely low, and her absorption is not as good as the energy spent, she can't touch the starchy staple food of humans. The only exception is starch used as a seasoning and additive. For example, tamales, starch for cooking, batter on the surface of fried food, and so on.

"You guys use it slowly, I'll go to the news first......" Chen Shiyi burped and left the table.

Su Lei also finished eating, and just called someone to clean up the dinner table when he heard Chen Shiyi call him over.

"Brother Liang, come and see, the sea monster battle!"

"Oh......" Su Lei hurriedly ran over.

I saw a war movie being broadcast on the big screen TV in the living room, the war between sea monsters.

"This is rare...... Su Lei was attracted after looking at it twice, and hurriedly sat on the sofa to watch it with Chen Mei.

As for Xiuxue, she doesn't care!

She is a typical creature who thinks with her stomach, and no matter how beautiful the film is, it is just right! She will not move until the pot of dried bamboo shoots and roast beef is all in her stomach.

The video isn't long, less than 20 minutes long, but it's bursting.

The scene was extremely bloody and intense, with all kinds of headshots, chest piercing, belly breaking, and body splitting...... and other restricted-level pictures fill the entire video, and there are many high-level sea monster battles, just by looking at the scenes of their moves, you know that many of them are legendary monsters.

Of course, monsters are not monolithic, and even many monsters have an endless relationship with each other. The kind of thing that people of all races and classes unite to fight against humanity can only appear in literature and anime games, and it is still relatively unimaginative.

Although humans have known this for a long time, it is one thing to know, and it is another thing to shoot it on the spot. Although there are many wars between monsters, it is rare for humans to see them, and it is even rarer to be photographed by humans.

Like the video just now, it can be said that it is the largest and most exciting battle in the monster battle filmed by humans in the past 50 years.

The TV station was also very excited, and after receiving the video transmitted back from this frontline, it showed the highest efficiency. Immediately organized manual editing and processing, soundtrack with subtitles, and quickly invited several experts to do a special topic.

After the video was broadcast, it was time for several experts to talk about their views.

In the live broadcast room, the beautiful hostess turned to the first expert and asked in a sweet voice: "Professor Li, you are an expert in the study of the ocean, can you please talk about this sea monster battle?"

"Well, I'll tell you what I think......" Professor Li was a middle-aged man with a pair of black-rimmed glasses.

Su Lei introduced beside him: "Hey, this Professor Li is the tutor of our Aoshan Prediction Department, and he has also taught our department's classes......"

"Oh, he's good at the ocean?"

"That's for sure, he gave us a lot of examples of marine ......"

I only heard Professor Li say: "...... This sea monster battle, according to my analysis, the reason is roughly the territory battle. We know that not all sea monsters are sapient beasts, many of them are highly intelligent, and some are not even below humans. They also form unique social formations, such as state-like blocs. In such a situation, it is normal for different groups to have wars......"

"According to the reports of the front-line friars, the leader of the victorious side declared that it would be responsible for this passage in the future, and that there would be no further attacks on ships in the future. Does that mean that they are willing to cooperate with humans, like the sharks in the coastal waters?"

“...... Well, that's a good question!" Professor Li thought for a moment: "As far as I know, before that, sea monsters almost didn't communicate with humans. Or rather, they disdain to communicate with humans. At most, there is swear and threats, and there has never been such an exchange before. So it's very valuable, as long as you are willing to communicate, then you can negotiate, so there will be the possibility of cooperation. ”

The moderator asked again, "So." Will they evolve into pirates, charging protection money to our passing ships?"

"Well, it's not impossible. Just as we, human countries, impose a transit tax on foreign goods passing through our territory, it is understandable if they consider the sea area to be their national territory, then it is understandable to impose a transit tax on passing ships......"

At this point, another expert spoke: "I don't agree with Professor Li's point of view. Sea monsters and humans think differently, and humans can understand humans, but it may be difficult for humans and sea monsters to understand each other. So I don't think there's anything to work with the sea monsters. They didn't attack us this time, simply because their enemies hadn't been destroyed yet, and they didn't want to fight on multiple fronts. If they purge the ocean of enemies, it's time to attack us......"

This is a pessimist, and he thinks that it would not be good if the sea monster was dominant. When the time comes, the integrated sea monsters will pose a greater threat to humans. So he thinks that the weaker side should be supported.

Professor Li spit out and said, you don't even know which side is weak and how to get in touch, and what do you talk about to support the other party? Even if you get in touch, the other party is willing to communicate, and if someone fights a decisive battle under a thousand meters or even several thousand meters under the water, what do you do to support it?

Then several experts argued about this issue, and whether the winner should be given a transit tax, and what means of payment should be used.

This kind of air-to-air mouth cannon, Su Lei and Chen Shiyi are not interested. Maybe the average audience likes to listen to their, but when they were in school, there were fewer similar cannons?

"Brother Liang, what do you think of these sea monsters?" asked Chen Mei.

"I don't think so, I'm not familiar with the field. Anyway, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, so many big guys are on top, what can I do as a little nine-rank monk?"

Su Lei was very salty: "For me, as long as the shipping route remains open, it is enough that import and export goods will not be affected. I'm an ordinary friar, and I'm most concerned about prices, as long as the prices are stable, and it would be better if they were lowered. ”

Chen Shiyi also agreed: "Yes, we low-level little monks still don't think so much, this kind of big thing is decided by the big guys......"

Su Lei looked at the time and said, "It's almost time, I'm ready to cultivate...... What about you?"

"Of course I want to, I can't slack off in this cultivation, I'm just from the ninth grade......"

"Okay, let's go, let's go......"

............

At this time, the bigwigs in Su Lei's mouth are having a headache.

It is reported that similar behavior has occurred on other routes. According to the information we have gathered so far, the earliest one was at half past ten last night, on the Western Ocean route from Sailu to Nanluzhou......"

The Secret Service official reported as he pointed to the form on the projector.

“...... So far, in less than 25 hours, there have been a total of 32 similar sea monster civil wars in the vicinity of various shipping lanes around the world, most of which have been fierce, 17 of which have ended in the total destruction of one side or most of them, and 10 have ended in the loss of more than half of the side...... Most of the winners were the later ones, and they were only repulsed twice and won the second time ......"

At this time, someone interrupted his report: "Report, there is a sea monster war in the eastern channel of the North Stygian Ocean, and the intelligence has been confirmed......"

The bigwigs looked at each other.

"What the hell is going on? Could it be that the sea monsters also have a world war?" a big man frowned.

Another sighed: "Why can't there be? It's just that this is a multi-party scuffle, or is it a war between two sides? We don't know anything about it, and we can't intervene if we want to......

"No way, we still can't do anything about the ocean, it's far beyond our strength......"

Xiao Yuke asked, "Have you consulted the merman?"

"It has been consulted, they don't know what is going on at the moment, they are investigating...... However, they said that they had some impressions of the monsters that came later, and it seemed that they were mainly active in the Southern Ocean. Several of the monsters that lead the way are quite powerful, equivalent to our first pint, or even higher......"

Xiao Yuke frowned: "This is troublesome, the sea monster is enough to compete with our three monks of the same level in the environment of the ocean......"

"Have you tried to communicate with them?"

"We tried, but they didn't want to say anything more to us. ”

"Then inform the Navy and Air Force to be combat-ready, increase alert, and increase reconnaissance and patrols in and around the near sea zone. The other party's attitude is not clear, and we can't be careless. ”

Everyone talked about it all night, but it still didn't come to fruition, mainly because humans are really too unfamiliar with the ocean. I don't know anything about the ecology and social forms of sea monsters.

In short, I don't know what to do, and I can't respond positively, so I can only deal with it conservatively.

During the meeting, several more information was received about the sea monsters going to war......
