Chapter 252: The Wolves (I)

When it comes to wolves, people's first impression is often that they are cruel, cunning, and united.

This is of course wrong, the vast majority of wolves are not united, but they often go out in groups, as if they are a single group. In fact, a large wolf pack often splits into four or five small groups, each of which has its own small leader, and after they capture their prey, they will not hand over all of their prey to the wolf king, but will secretly leave a part of it.

All of the hidden parts were left to the small leader of his group, so that he could eat more and grow stronger, hoping that the little leader would be able to defeat the old wolf king one day and become the new wolf king. At this time, the subordinates of the small boss will follow and become high-ranking cadres of the wolf pack.

When examined in detail, it is no different from early human society.

No, there's still a difference, and that's ...... Wolves are stupid.

Yes, wolves are not cunning at all, but very stupid.

Their tactics are always the same, that is, roundabout outflanking, to put it bluntly, there are wolves chasing behind, responsible for letting the prey run, there are also wolves on the left and right sides, responsible for driving the prey to run in the predetermined direction, and then divided into several teams, chasing back and forth, not giving the prey a chance to rest, and finally rushing up when the prey is tired, cruel......

Creates scars on the prey.

Although I really wanted to write 'rush up and brutally divide the prey', which is more smooth and imposing, it is a pity that the wolf's tactic, or canine tactic, is to constantly leave scars on the prey, make the other party continue to bleed, and finally kill the prey.

Not any member of the wolf pack is qualified to divide the spoils of war, but every member of the Pack of Warcraft covets the right to covet it. Only the wolf king, it has the right to divide the spoils of war.

At least on the surface, the wolf king has supreme rights, the wolf pack has a strict hierarchy, the wolf king is full, and after it divides the prey into several pieces and rewards it, the small leaders can eat it. As for whether it is aggrieved to eat the tasteless muscles of dried firewood, or to swallow the tender and delicious offal happily, it all depends on the mood of the wolf king.

What's more, wolves don't know how to count, often the size of the distribution is uneven, when the food is abundant and everyone can eat enough, it is not a big problem, once the food is scarce, some wolves can eat enough, and some wolves can not eat enough, which produces internal contradictions. If the food crisis cannot be resolved in a short period of time, the conflict will intensify, and the wolves will have only two options:

Fall apart directly, and everyone in the wasteland will rely on their abilities to see who can survive to the end.

A new leader emerges from the duel, and the new wolf king leads the wolves through this period of time until the next period of abundant food comes.

After listening to Ling Mo's long list of explanations, Zero nodded silently, digesting the information in his heart, and asked with some doubts: "Why can you forcibly survive with the wolves when you elect the new wolf king? Could it be that the new wolf king can still conjure food out of thin air?" Zero felt that the second option was not very logical, so he raised his own questions. ”

"Of course not," Ling Mo didn't speak yet, but the ragdoll bear took the lead: "The new wolf king fights the old wolf king with blood, and the aftermath of the battle is victorious, who dares not to listen to it?" Naturally, there is no contradiction, hunger may not necessarily die, but at this time, when you are the first bird, you will definitely die if you touch the mold of the new wolf king!"

It pursed its lips and 'cut' to express its disdain: "This kind of low-level social form...... Or the creatures of our molten city, everyone is rich and poor, eat a big pot of rice, and everyone gets exactly the same spoils of war when the legion acts, extinguishing any disputes within the mechanical race, and the civilization form is not at the same level as other civilization forms on the mainland, and it has entered the advanced stage of socialism in advance!"

"If it weren't for the fact that I had been to the Molten City and drank with the Archon of Light, I would have believed your nonsense!" Ling Mo casually debunked the Ragdoll Bear: "The Molten City's wealth and poverty and communism are based on the fact that there is a huge energy source that will hardly dry up, and where does this energy come from? It is provided by the self-discipline machines and snot beasts that will never see the light of day and will work until death from birth, thousands of meters underground in the Molten City. Did you ask the poor fellows before you were rich or poor?"

"No matter what kind of work you do, it's just a different position, there is no difference in identity! We are all a screw in the Molten City! Contribute to the construction of a greater Molten City!" Ragdoll Bear said with great righteousness: "Every one of our mechanical monsters has this kind of ideological awareness, and I believe that those self-discipline machines and snotty beasts are the same!"

"Oh, those self-discipline machines, and those snot beasts are represented like this?" Ling Mo tugged at the corners of his mouth, and was about to continue to uncover the bottom of the Molten City, when suddenly Zero pulled Ling Mo's trouser leg, looked up and said:

"Stop talking about the things in the Molten City, it's too far away. Let's continue to talk about these Cangyan wolves in front of us, right? I just heard my father's description, I think these wolves are very smart, they can divide labor and cooperate, and they also know how to play tactics, and the success rate of predation is quite high, which is already relatively smart in the Warcraft community......"

"A smart fart! A fart with a high success rate! The success rate of predation by wolves is low, only a pitiful 10 percent! A pack of wolves can only harvest one or two small animals after running away ten times! This situation is all due to this so-called 'smart' roundabout tactic!" Ling Mo interrupted Zero's words and scolded directly:

"You think this tactic is for the success rate of predation? What a big mistake! Dividing the originally superior forces into many groups, so that creatures with slightly larger size and strength can wantonly break through the encirclement from any direction, so that the level of prey that the wolves can catch is always much smaller than the strength level of their own species. ”

"This disadvantage is more obvious in the higher level of the battle, the high-level Warcraft often has one or two hands of hole cards at the bottom of the box, and the strength of the whole clan may not be able to stop it, scatter the troops...... The biggest advantage of this hunting method is that for each individual, the strength of the huntable object is greatly reduced, and the risk that he needs to bear is reduced.

After all, every wolf can say something like this:

It's not my fault that I can't stop my prey, it's that you don't choose a good target!

The target we chose was perfect, but the wolves on the flanks didn't contribute!

The prey is so tired from being chased by us, why don't you go up and bite its throat, it's all your fault no matter what you think!

Now that everyone is hungry, I fell into deep thought, this must be a problem of the system, it is the wolf king who is not good!

You can pass the buck whatever you think, and you can comfort yourself, in the final analysis, this is an inevitable result of the dispersion of responsibility. ”

"Decentralization?" the Ragdoll munched on the word, a curious look in his eyes.

After all, the responsibility of helping the old man is shared with every witness, and if you go forward to help, the responsibility for the follow-up problems is all your own?"

"Corresponding to the wolves, in fact, it is 'whether or not to catch the prey is everyone's business, I just need to make sure that I don't get hurt, not to mention that even if the hunt is successful, I can't get a few mouthfuls of meat'! Driven by this kind of thinking, the success rate of predation must be particularly low! And the feline that lives alone, all the responsibility is their own, there is nowhere to shirk, as long as they can't catch the prey, they will be hungry, so they can achieve more than 50% of the success rate of predation! Zero suddenly realized, and cast an adoring gaze on his knowledgeable father. ”

Therefore, the old man who fell to the ground on the street has no one to help, it is not that the people of that country have low quality and low moral level, it is just an inevitable social phenomenon, from primitive society to modern society, it has nothing to do with physical constitution and national quality. Ignoring Zero's sycophant, Ling Mo sneered and said:

"A few years ago, when I was still able to gain a foothold in the civilized society of the mainland, I wanted to say that those who learned bullshit wolf pack tactics in society didn't even know what wolf pack tactics were, and they didn't even know the garbage success rate of wolf pack tactics, so they learned wolf pack tactics blindly, and if you really learned wolf pack tactics, you will not be able to eat enough in your life!"

"......" The Ragdoll Bear was silent for a while, and whispered: "Watchman, I don't think there are those taboo things, you can't stay in modern human society, your character is really a bit anti-social......"

"Okay, okay, don't talk about it anymore," Seeing Ling Mo raise his eyebrows, Zero quickly turned the topic back, pointed to the figure that was getting clearer and clearer in the mist, and asked: "I already know what kind of problem the wolves have, but these Cangyan wolves belong to the sixth-level demonic beasts, so they have to be much stronger than ordinary wolves, otherwise they wouldn't be called 'mobile natural disasters', right? Zero stubbornly changed the subject, but he definitely sincerely asked his father for advice. ”

"Cangyan wolf, before the wolves fell apart, their cooperation was still very tacit, and the general small weaknesses were covered up by the team......" Ling Mo thought for a while, and said slowly: "The only serious weakness after all, the relatively low defense is also made up for by that Cangyan." This kind of cangyan is strongly corrosive, and a considerable part of the blows from the outside will be counteracted. And once the prey is stuck to the cangyan, it will continue to absorb its physical strength to the canine wolf, making its physical strength more abundant, and giving full play to the greatest advantage of canines - endurance. ”

"But ......" Speaking of this, Ling Mo smiled mysteriously: "Cangyan wolves have a magical characteristic that causes them to greatly reduce the team's combat effectiveness at a certain time, and become very easy to capture, after all, excluding the point of living in groups, they are just ordinary sixth-level demonic beasts, and there is still a gap between their strength and seventh-level demonic beasts like you." ”

"What characteristics? Zero is hungry and can't wait to know the other party's flaws, so he hunts for it!"

"That is, in the wolf pack, not every wolf has the right to mate, to be precise, the entire wolf pack, only the two strongest male wolves and female wolves, can mate and give birth, and the other wolf members, regardless of male and female, do not even have the right to mate!" Ling Mo said in a shocking voice:

"The wolf king is generally male, and nominally, he has the right to mate with every female wolf in his family. However, the strongest she-wolf does not know whether it is out of jealousy or simply for the sake of offspring, as long as the wolf king has a tendency to mate with other female wolves, it will make a cruel mess so that it cannot carry out, and although the wolf king himself cannot communicate with female subordinates, he does not allow other male members to communicate with females! Once discovered, it is light to bite off the leg!"

The Ragdoll Bear was stunned by this custom: "This ...... Isn't that what and what?"

"That's right, but this ensures that every litter of offspring of the wolves is a crystallization between the strongest individuals, with a very high survival rate and stronger strength. Answering the question of the ragdoll bear, Ling Mo continued: "Especially for high-level magical beasts like the Cangyan Wolf, in order for their offspring to reach their own strength, or even to the next level, they are more strict with this mating method. ”

"But when animals are in estrus, it is very difficult, although the Cangyan wolf does not swell a hundred times like birds, but it is also hanging and throwing around all day long, and the pain is very great, every time it is in estrus, the wolf king has to forcibly suppress those male wolves under him, and the trust between them is gone, not to mention the tacit cooperation to hunt! Therefore, if you choose to attack in estrus, it is the time when the wolves are the weakest, and the combat effectiveness is even one-tenth of the usual one-tenth of the usual. ”

"Although I understand what Dad means...... Zero hesitated, but still said: "But I have the impression that the estrus period of the Cangyan Wolf is in March, right? ”

"You're wrong, wolves can come into heat at any time, but they conceive in March, and the cubs are born in the autumn when the food is most abundant and the climate is most suitable, and they are most likely to survive, and nature has forced them to make such a choice. After finishing speaking, Ling Mo smiled and pointed to the ragdoll bear and said:

"As for how to make these cangyan wolves come into heat, you have to ask this ragdoll bear friend. If your designer didn't make your design an aphrodisiac, it wouldn't make sense for him to set the oil to contain the key information that prompted the evolution of Warcraft. Am I guessing right?"

"You, you, you!" Thinking that even this would be guessed by Ling Mo, the Ragdoll Bear suddenly panicked: "I'm not! I don't! Don't talk nonsense!"

Looking at this reaction, the answer couldn't be more obvious, Zero was already hungry at this time, her chest was pressed against her back, she was still a little rational about Ling Mo, and she didn't have such good patience in the face of the ragdoll bear. I saw her instantly approaching the Ragdoll Bear, lifted it up, and said faintly:

"I'm hungry now, you'd better not say another nonsense, if I can't eat the wolf, then I'll have to reluctantly take you to eat, understand? ”

Looking at Zero's hungry dark green eyes, the Ragdoll Bear nodded his head again and wanted the chicken to peck at the rice.

"Very well, what's the way of aphrodisiac? smell spreading? long-range shooting? close contact?"

"Sticky, close to the touch, but ...... Ah——!!h

With a scream, before the Ragdoll could finish speaking, he felt like he was flying up like a cloud, piercing through layers of mist like a cannonball, and with a click, it smashed on the back of a giant wolf six meters tall and spitting cyan flames from its mouth!
