Chapter 188, Accident, Misstep (Seeking Completeness)

Humans are the most important of all animals, regardless of the season, to store food.

Most animals store food due to instinct as animals store food to survive the winter, whereas humans store food simply because of greed and fear of food.

Because human beings evolved in a different direction from other animals, they produced thoughts, and fear is actually one of the sources of all thoughts, because the fear of food scarcity leads to the habit of human beings to store food quickly.

Moreover, it is unrestrained and greedy to store grain, and because of the unscientific method of grain storage, a large amount of grain rots, which can be called waste.

But even with such waste, humans are unlikely to change this habit.

And not only will it not change, but it will also rob other creatures of food.

After tasting the delicious seafood, everyone looked at the vast sea without any fear, but with red eyes, they rushed to the beach like a bull in heat.

More than 100,000 people gathered into a long dragon shrouded in the coastline, with no end in sight, frantically digging for seafood on the shore.

This makes it difficult for the seabirds wandering the seashore, and the flocks of seabirds, mainly seagulls, are startled into the sky and gather into dark clouds that hover over the heads of humans, chirping angrily and condemning the invaders.

But after discovering that the condemnation was ineffective, the seabirds swooped down from the sky and attacked.

I have to say that at this time, seabirds have not been eaten as endangered animals by coastal humans, and they are still the owners of this land, and the fear of humans in later generations has not been imprinted in the genes to continue, so wild animals at this time are not afraid of humans at all.

Otherwise, how can it be called a 'wild animal'?

Obeying the rules of the jungle by natural selection is the standard of wild animals, even in the face of natural predators, they are not afraid, so there are rabbits and eagles, frogs swallowing snakes, horses stepping on wolves and other miracles of life.

In the eyes of these seabirds, humans are just another species competing for food, and it is good to drive them away, and it is the reproductive instinct of animals to protect food and calves.

It's not the first time that Wang Xu and Mo Wolf have seen such a picture of wild birds attacking people, they have already experienced it in Bird Beach last year, and they have also let Mo Ren and Wang Li and others receive education from nature, so that they can grow up overnight.

However, the flock of seabirds is larger than the flock of birds at Bird Beach, and it seems that they are all converging along the shoreline, and in a short time the sun obscures the area, making the area gray, and there may be more people on the beach than there are on the beach.

Although Wang Xu is not engaged in zooarchaeology, he also studies animal species, after all, zoology and botany also have electives in archaeology.

Seagulls are the best seabirds to identify, but with an average wingspan of one and a half meters, Wang Xu really has a lot of knowledge, and they are comparable to golden eagles and swans in terms of momentum.

Seabirds are more ferocious than other birds because they live on the seashore where the environment is more harsh.

And such a large colony of seabirds can indeed pose a threat to human life.

In the face of such a flock of birds' revenge, sure enough, everyone fell into a short panic.

But it soon began to fight with it.

I don't know if it was because they came to the wide seashore, or because they were suppressed for too long, so these slave-born workers of the city soon fell into this kind of fighting activity, and they used unlit firewood as weapons to fight to the death against the birds.

The chirping of birds and the roars of people drowned out the roar of the rising tide, and blood and feathers soon covered the entire beach, and even the salty sea breeze carried a faint smell of blood.

Wang Xu was also a little surprised, he knew that such a large-scale invasion of seabirds' territory would definitely be retaliated against by these wild animals.

But he didn't expect these seabirds to be so territorial, and there were so many more than he imagined.

Just now, he was leisurely and elegantly taking the ink wolf and others to look for strange stones or shells on the reef on the shore, and in a blink of an eye, the situation changed into a battlefield of slaughter.

Mo Geng and the Shennu had already noticed the abnormality before the seabird riot, and when they wanted to protect Wang Xu to retreat, it was already a little too late, so they could only build a temporary bunker with an explosion-proof shield and protect Wang Xu's ink wolf in it as soon as possible.

Zhai Qiu, who never left Wang Xu, waved his long sword like a dragon in his hand, easily splitting the seabirds that swooped down one by one.

Li Qi's reaction was a little slower, and because he didn't dare to wear a sword, he could only tear off his deep cloak and dip it into water and turn it into a cloth stick, which was a little embarrassed.

"And then." Yu Chun shouted and threw the long sword at his waist to Li Qi, and then pulled out the giant axe he was carrying behind his back, and rounded it like a spinning top, crushing the seabird.

Even the seemingly delicate Qiu He covered his face with one hand, and waved a thin sword with the other hand, although it seemed embarrassing, but the swordsmanship was extremely tricky, and some of them rushed to him and pecked at his clothes, as well as the sound of Jin Ming, and sure enough, he wore soft armor inside.

Originally, they were following Li Zuoche and Zang Di, who wanted to be familiar with each other, because they were naked and defenseless, so they first turned around and ran, but after looking at the other guards who came from afar, they gritted their teeth and turned their heads and rushed towards the birds.

At this time, you can't be cowardly, don't be pecked to death by the birds at that time, but be beheaded by the angry emperor with deserters and escorts, it will be too wronged.

Although the two of them have no armor and are unarmed, they are both people who practice martial arts, a pair of iron fists against the beak of a clawed bird, although the flesh and blood are blurred, but one punch can also be seen that there are indeed two brushes, especially Li Zuoche is not only excellent in boxing, but also has an unusually erratic pace under his feet.

Wang Xu was not comfortable being protected by the shield composed of explosion-proof shields at the moment, and the sound of seabirds loading on the explosion-proof shields like cannonballs gave him a little headache, so he could only sit down cross-legged and pull out the fish intestine sword on his waist.

"I have suffered the loss of this group of flat-haired beasts again! Go back and let this group of beasts go extinct! The ink wolf was furious, eager to go out and kill all the seabirds outside.

Wang Xu glanced at him and said with a smile: "Obviously, we are going to steal other people's food, and we have to slaughter people's families to become extinct, this is inhumane." ”

The ink wolf took a deep breath and knelt beside Wang Xu, "The crime of the minister deserves death, the guard work is not handled properly, and the emperor is in danger again." ”

"You must not have thought that this group of seabirds could have such a number and ferocity, this is called experience." Wang Xu smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "The more experienced, the better things can be done." ”

The ink wolf lowered his head in shame and said, "Minister, remember the teachings." ”

"Let's hope the people outside are safe and sound." Wang Xu couldn't see the situation outside through the gap in the blast shield, because the bird corpses and bird feathers were almost piled up outside.

"The Fire Phoenix Army and the Reserve Army are on duty around, and they should be able to drive away this group of beasts soon, but the clansmen don't have weapons and armor, so they may be slightly damaged, and there were wooden armors outside on Bird Beach that were covered in scaly wounds." The ink wolf became more and more ashamed, "But this can also make them have a sense of trust in the army, maybe they will be more active when they recruit in the future." ”

Wang Xu raised his eyebrows slightly, and glanced at the ink wolf in some surprise.

Now the ink wolf has the basic qualities of being a politician, and the way of thinking about things has risen from the individual to the national level, and the judgment of gains and losses is also very accurate.

Such a big progress should have been taught by Qiu He.

Wang Xu narrowed his eyes slightly, and clenched the fish intestine sword in his hand.

The sound of war drums and chirping gold resounded all over the world, making the already irritable seabirds more and more irritable, and at the same time, the sonic boom of countless sharp arrows piercing the sky also sounded, and the stars felt that the chirping of seabirds became more and more poignant.

"It's coming, it's not too slow." The ink wolf let out a sigh of relief.

Wang Xu smiled, stood up, and put the fish intestine sword into the sheath of his waist.

The sound of war drums and sharp arrows gradually overpowered the rampant birdsong, and it was clear from the sound that under the bows and arrows and sharp blades of humans, no matter how fierce wild animals were, they would eventually turn into proteins that humans absorbed.

However, just as Wang Xu was estimating how long it would take to solve the characters, the explosion-proof fortress suddenly opened a corner, and a dexterous figure rolled in like an ape, shouting and asking, "How is the emperor?!" ”

"I'm fine." Wang Xu frowned and walked over, helped Mo Lian, who was half-kneeling on the sand, and reached out to pull away her long hair that was standing scattered, and frowned, "Nonsense, I don't know if you'll look for me when it's over?" ”

Mo Lian didn't have any armor on his body, only a brocade robe, which had been stained and messed up by blood-stained bird feathers at this time, and there were many cuts, so it looked like he should have taken a great risk to get in.

"It's good that the emperor is fine." Seeing that Wang Xu was fine, Mo Lian stretched her brows and let out a sigh of relief, revealing a relieved smile.

Wang Xu frowned and didn't speak, his big hand groped around her, wanting to see if she was hurt.

Feeling Wang Xu's hand on him, Mo Lian subconsciously shrank her shoulders, and her heartbeat, which was originally panicked because of worry, once again jumped uncontrollably, and her face turned red all of a sudden.

"The next time you make such a rash mistake, there will be a heavy penalty." After checking Mo Lian and finding that he was not injured, Wang Xu also breathed a sigh of relief, reached out and pinched Mo Lian's cheek hard, and said coldly.

"Ahh Mo pity's soft cry in pain, woke up from the beautiful panic, covered his face with shame and annoyance, looked at Wang Xu aggrievedly, and then saw the ink wolf pretending to be a wooden man behind him, and instantly became angry again, "Let the emperor be in danger again!" Ink wolf, you deserve to die! ”

The ink wolf shrank back after hearing this.

"Don't blame him, it was an accident." Wang Xu smiled and patted Mo Lian, who was as irritable as an angry lioness, untied her hosta, and helped her recomb her long hair, "I didn't expect this group of seabirds to be so fierce and make mistakes." ”

"The emperor does not have to excuse him, the marshal's dereliction of duty must be punished." Mo Lian frowned and said coldly.
