Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and ordinary people still have the short wit of their parents, and they can't talk about likes and dislikes. On the contrary, it is precisely because of this that there is a complex society and a colorful world.

Biancheng is a very mild city, the residents live vibrantly, not poor but happy, ordinary people's rivers and lakes not only do not reduce this mildness, but add a lot of interest.

It's just that when it reaches the upper layer, this gentleness is covered with a thin veil, like a beauty in a dream, hazy and blurry.

After all, they are all people with extraordinary abilities, and when they have great ability, they will naturally think about more things, and they no longer have the rustic atmosphere of the short family, and the pursuit of fame and fortune has become not cannibalism.

It's just that Xu Chen, who is used to seeing these, still feels that the few people in front of him have an unconcealable craftsmanship, and the grade is more than a little worse than the outside world!

It's like a group of half-grown children, learning to speak to adults seriously, and it's indescribably weird!

If you don't understand, don't think about it for the time being.

Detachments of troops gathered from the barracks in various parts of the city towards the defense areas to the west and south.

Biancheng is a ruined city, the eastern half of the city has long disappeared, and now it is a deserted ruined city, and that ruined city is naturally the best defense belt, and no local people or animals can enter Biancheng from that area.

In the past, the annual beast tide came from the west and south, and the defensive positions on these two sides were naturally the most dense.

Yun Ye's gang belonged to the retired troops, and they were not needed for the defensive positions ten miles deep outside the city wall, and like many residents who volunteered to defend the city, they were placed on the tall city wall.

Standing behind the female wall, looking at the ten-mile defensive position outside the city, the dense crowd moved like ants, and for the first time he saw the deployment of more than 100,000 people, Xu Chen's shock was not small.

"Don't be nervous! The official battle will have to wait for a day!" Chen Dong saw Xu Chen looking out of the city in astonishment, so he walked over, patted Xu Chen's shoulder, and comforted: "The beast tide will not arrive on the outskirts of Biancheng until at least tomorrow afternoon. ”

"Then this news is ......" Xu Chen turned his head.

After so many years, we have already figured out the habits and gathering places of these beasts, and the city guards have naturally arranged a lot of sentinels around these places. ”

"If that's the case, then why don't you send some people to exterminate them?" I heard that the beast tide is a mixture of many different types of demon beasts, and different demon beasts have different habits, and the gathering places are definitely not together, instead of waiting for them to gather together to defend passively, why not concentrate all your strength and break them individually?" Xu Chen knew a lot about the beast tide, and there were inevitably some doubts in his heart.

"Alas...... Who hasn't thought of this method you said?" Chen Dong said with a gloomy expression: "Over the years, there have been many bold city guard commanders who have led their troops to clear them, but the gathering areas of those demon beasts are all taboo places that are difficult for ordinary people to enter, and the troops who go to clear them are dead!"

"I don't know how many brothers have died on this over the years......," Chen Dong shook his head bitterly.

"Oh!" Xu Chen replied thoughtfully.

"Let's find a place to rest first! The battle didn't start so quickly, and even if it did, it wouldn't be our turn to do it until the last moment!" Chen Dong patted Xu Chen's shoulder again, and then turned to leave.

"What, is there any problem?" Yang Ziyun, who had been following Xu Chen's side, saw Xu Chen thoughtfully, so she opened her mouth to ask, also wanting to take the opportunity to break the silent deadlock between the two of them that had started just now.

Xu Chen glanced at her, but didn't speak, but turned around to leave.

The girl was annoyed, took a few steps forward, stretched out her hand and grabbed Xu Chen, and said loudly: "Hey!

Xu Chen turned his head and said with his nostrils facing the sky: "I'm such a small chicken-bellied person, what's the matter?"

This is what the girl used just now, and Xu Chen returned it intact at the moment.

Yang Ziyun was stunned for a moment, then stretched out her hand and pointed at Xu Chen's nose, and said in a daze: "The nose hair is out!"

"What?" Xu Chen was startled and hurriedly reached out to touch it.

"Hahahaha!" the girl laughed.

Xu Chen knew that he had been fooled, and looked at the girl angrily, but the girl was still smiling and looking at her proudly.

Xu Chen smiled and shook his head, and between his smiles, the unhappiness just now seemed to disappear, but whether there were still ripples in his heart, only he knew.

"What were you thinking just now?" asked Yang again.

Xu Chen thought for a while and said, "I always feel that this beast tide is a little weird!"

"Oh, what's weird? By the way, what is this beast tide you are talking about?" Yang Ziyun had just woken up, so she naturally didn't know enough about them.

Xu Chen had no choice but to tell what he had inquired about: "This so-called beast tide is a demon beast attack that comes to Biancheng every year, and as for the demon beasts, it is said that they are a group of beasts that have opened their spiritual intelligence. ”

"Lingzhi, can beasts think like humans?" Yang Ziyun wondered.

Xu Chen shook his head and said: "This is not clear, the people in the city only say that these beasts have a lot of wisdom, and as for whether they can be compared with people, they don't know very well." ”

"Hehe, although the demon beast has spiritual intelligence, it is still far inferior to humans!" Yun Ye heard the conversation between the two and walked over with a smile.

"Oh, dare to ask Yun Ye, is there really not a single one of these demon beasts that can match the wisdom of human beings? If this is the case, then why would the demon beasts actually unite to attack Biancheng? And the time of year is not much different?"

The Biancheng Beast Tide has obvious regularity and unity, and these obvious characteristics are obviously beyond the instinct of animals, so Xu Chen has to guess that there may be artificiality in it.

Yun Ye still just smiled and replied: "If it is said that 10,000 years ago, there was a tribulation and transformation among the demon beasts, and it is possible to survive the thunder tribulation and transform into a human when the cultivation reaches the Yuan Infant Stage, and naturally has the same wisdom as a human." It's just that in this era, the aura is thin, and there has long been no thunder tribulation between heaven and earth, and the amount of aura consumed by the advancement of demon beasts is much more than that of human beings. The appearance of spiritual intelligence among demon beasts is extremely accidental and rare, if you don't even open spiritual intelligence, you don't even understand cultivation, where can you talk about advanced and transformational? As early as thousands of years ago, when the masters of demon beasts withered, they had already been wiped out by the united human beings, after all, no one wanted to share this thing with others. Now what is left is just some chaotic little demons, at most the cultivation of the Jindan period, it can only be regarded as the beginning of spiritual intelligence, and the basic instructions can also be issued, but if you want to have the wisdom of a human being, it is delusional!"

"There are always exceptions to everything, right?" Xu Chen still didn't give up.

"Hehe" Yun Ye smiled, and then replied: "If the thunder tribulation moves, the aura of the entire heaven and earth will be disordered, of course, this is also the reason why the aura of the world is too scarce. And the human thunder tribulation at least after the god transformation period, there have not been a few times in 10,000 years, once there is a sign of the thunder tribulation, it must be a demon beast! The whole process of the thunder tribulation will last for a few days at the shortest, with this kung fu, the masters of the human race have already rushed over, do you think the human race will allow a metamorphosis to appear again in the demon race? You must know that the lifespan of the demon clan is generally much higher than that of humans, and once such a existence appears, it means that the demon clan can flourish for at least a while, and it is not impossible to revive the grand occasion of the demon clan back then. ”

Hearing this, Xu Chen understood! That is, because of the change in the general environment, the originally thriving demon clan gradually withered, and later the human race found an opportunity to wipe out all the demon clan masters in one fell swoop. And the advancement of demon beasts is already difficult, even if they reach the level of Cheng Dù, who can transform into shapes, the movement is too big to hide. If you change the original vast world, there is enough aura, and the reaction is not big, even if it is detected by humans, for a while, the human powerhouses will not be able to catch up, but now each domain is such a palm-sized place, and a few days are enough for these powerhouses to run back and forth. In this way, the demon race, which is more dependent on the environment in terms of survival, can only be gradually eliminated by the environment......

In the final analysis, it is still the possession of resources, the demon clan has extraordinary strength, a long lifespan, and a lot of spiritual energy resources consumed, under the same conditions, the number of clansmen who can feed must be very small, coupled with the difficulty of spiritual intelligence, the withering of masters has become inevitable. And the humans who live together in this world naturally don't want one more population to compete with them for limited spiritual energy resources, and it is not surprising that they are suppressed. Or, even if it is not suppressed, the demon clan that cannot adapt to the new environment is doomed to decline.

Xu Chen didn't know why Yun Ye wanted to tell him in such detail, just as Yun Ye didn't understand why the city lord would give him an order to explain a qiē to Xu Chen.

After Yun Ye finished speaking, he didn't leave, but still looked at Xu Chen, as if waiting.

Although Xu Chen was puzzled, he continued to ask: "If that's the case, then wouldn't it be enough to kill the few leading ones in the demon beast group?

"Alas...... How easy it is to talk about!" Yun Ye sighed.

"Why?" asked Xu Chen.

Yun Ye shook his head and said: "These beasts are now living more and more shrewdly, although their spiritual intelligence is not high, but they are becoming more and more cunning! In the past 10,000 years, due to the decreasing number of demon beasts, human beings' understanding of demon beasts has also become increasingly rare, and some of the classics that have been handed down back then are very different from today's demon beasts......

Xu Chen understood and asked, "You can't find them?"

Yun Ye nodded and said with a wry smile: "It's funny to say, it is precisely because we humans have exterminated them that we have no object to understand the situation of high-level demon beasts now, and now we don't know how they cultivate, nor do we know how to distinguish their cultivation, and we can't even sense the amount of aura in their bodies!"

"I can't find a specific target, and among the countless demon beasts, how easy is it to find the ones with the highest cultivation?"

"I see!"

Xu Chen understood that although the demon beasts had a hard time, they still survived tenaciously, and at the same time slowly adapted to the new environment, and gradually gained some new abilities in the process to ensure that they could continue their lives and races.

Natural selection, survival of the fittest, is indeed the unchanging truth!R1058
