XXVII. Elimination
"One, two, three, four, five...... Six...... Seven! Woo meow, there are seven salons in total! ”
Xiaohu held a telescope and looked at the salon group swimming in his own territory in front of him from a distance, the hot weather did not affect their frolicking mood at all, considering that there may still be the king of the salon group "Sharon King", Hongxing and Xiaohu want to pass from here safely, I'm afraid it's just a delusion.

"Meow, Red Star, what are you going to do?"
Of course, Xiaohu's simple head couldn't do anything about this situation, he looked at Hongxing and asked.
"How many sonic booms do we have left?"
Red Star's face was full of unwillingness, he had already traveled here, and if he returned without success, it would deal a huge blow to his momentum.
But if you want to make a detour, not to mention the problem of easy disorientation, the size of the territory of the Sharon group is quite large in the barren land of the desert, and the supplies he and Xiaohu carry cannot support it at all.
If you want to wipe out this group of salons, once you open the bow, with the swimming speed and pursuit ability of the salons, there will be no turning back.
"Meow...... There are five left. ”
Xiaohu counted the number of sonic booms and replied.
Before departure, Red Star prepared a total of nearly thirty sonic boom bombs, and along the way, he basically didn't need to use them, but for Xiaohu, the hyenas in the desert were still too threatening to it, and the sand fish was unguardable attacks, and it was difficult for Red Star to take care of Xiaohu, at this time, Xiaohu could only use sonic booms to relieve his crisis.
"Not enough." Redstar shook his head, then made a decision, "Go back." ”
There is no reluctance, because he has warned himself countless times along the way that he is not fighting alone now, and he is still following Xiaohu by his side.
If it were a person, he would be bewitched by the desire to die, but he would probably have fought to the death with this group of salons without hesitation.
……
Ga! Rattle!
Compared with the way over, the way back is of course much easier, whether it is physical or psychological, the so-called return to the heart is like an arrow, which is the mood of Xiaohu.
"Wait! Fast! Find a place to hide! ”
However, Hongxing had to pull Xiaohu's footsteps like an arrow, he looked around, but did not find obvious shelter, in desperation, he had to first throw a deodorizing jade to eliminate the smell on their bodies, and then dig a sand pit, spread a blanket in the sand pit, separated the hot sand, and then took Xiaohu, a person and a cat into this sand pit, and finally gathered the surrounding sand and buried the two of them in the sand pit, only revealing the hole for the eyes to see and for the nose to breathe.
This method of concealment is more useful in the desert, whether it is to avoid the pursuit of monsters, to avoid the scorching sun, or even to use it as a makeshift bed for a short rest.
Not long after Red Star finished this series of actions, in Xiaohu's still puzzled gaze, a group of yellow dragons appeared in their line of sight.
"It's Huang Sulong!"
Xiaohu covered his mouth with the claws of the meat ball and shouted in a suppressed voice.
"Hmm."
Red Star nodded, and on the way back, he encountered this group of evil wolves in the desert again, which was also within his expectations, after all, the route they took did not deviate too much, and it was normal to pass through the territory of this group of yellow dragons again.
"What are they doing?"
Although he saw the true face of the enemy, Xiaohu was still puzzled.
These creatures living in the desert, even if they adapt to the desert environment, but in the face of the high temperature of the desert during the day, the same action will still consume more physical strength, therefore, most herbivores, as well as carnivores, will choose to come out at night to forage.
Among them, of course, Huang Sulong is also included.
Because even if you go out to hunt during the day, there is no prey at all.
"I don't know, is it chasing the prey you found?"
Red Star is not an all-knowing and all-powerful god, and he certainly can't guess the movements of Huang Sulong Qun who doesn't know the cause and effect of the incident.
"Meow, there's something again!"
"Huh?"
Hearing Xiaohu's words, Hongxing also looked out, and sure enough, the fins that were showing on the sand were swimming around were not the same sand fish that Hongxing and Xiaohu had seen before and Huang Sulong cooperated to hunt gerbils!
"Are they going to cooperate to hunt any prey? Meow! ”
"No, I'm afraid they're ...... Xiaohu, take a closer look, there is something abnormal about the sand fish group and the Huang Sulong group. ”
In this situation, Red Star's rich knowledge made him think of the answer immediately, but Red Star, who just wanted to say the answer, changed his mind, and was ready to slowly guide Xiaohu to come up with the answer by himself.
"Anomaly?" Xiaohu stretched out his cat's paw and scratched his head, his brain was a mess, he opened his eyes for a long time, and even his eyes were a little red, but he still couldn't see the so-called abnormality.
At this time, the number of sand fish and yellow speed dragons appeared more and more, and the number was increasing compared to the last time I saw it.
"Don't you think there are too many of them?"
Red Star had no choice but to give a hint.
"Meow! yes, a lot! ”
Little Tiger almost jumped.
"And then, do you think of anything?"
Red Star urged, if you don't hurry up, the answer will come out by itself.
"Meow, a lot of it...... Lots of ......"
Xiaohu tried hard to think.
"Woo meow, I can't think of it!"
Xiaohu turned his face and looked at Hongxing with pitiful eyes.
"Alas," Red Star sighed, feeling that there was still a long way to go in cultivating the little tiger, "the number of a biological population is not as large as possible, in the desert, food is scarce, and the larger the population, the more difficult it is to get enough food, if you ignore it, the whole population can only starve." Just like the last time we saw the Huang Su Dragon Group and the sand fish group cooperating in hunting, and finally got more than ten gerbils, this is already a rare harvest in a year, but these more than ten gerbils, for more than 30 Huang Su Dragons and Huang Su Dragon King, how many meals can they withstand? ”
"Meow, so they have to come out to hunt even during the day in order to get enough food?"
Xiaohu seemed to have thought of the answer and couldn't wait to answer.
"That's not the case," Red Star shook his head and continued, "There is not enough food, and the entire population has been starved for a long time, and its combat effectiveness has been greatly reduced, resulting in a lack of competitiveness of the population, and eventually the population will gradually be eliminated naturally. The way you said is to treat the symptoms but not the root cause! The easiest way to really solve the problem of food in an area like the desert is to ...... Internal elimination! ”
"Internal elimination?!"
"That is, cannibalism, removing the old, the weak, the sick and the young, leaving the strongest part, which not only solves the problem of undernourishment, but also enhances the competitiveness of the population."
"It's cruel...... So are they going to kill each other now? ”
However, Red Star shook his head again and said, "No, they have a better way than to kill each other! ”
