Chapter 1269: Breaking through the ordinary way of thinking
The defeat of the dragons shows one thing: the most powerful creatures on the planet have been defeated!
Not one end, but a whole group.
Can fly.
Will breathe fire.
With the strongest bodies and the sharpest claws, such a group can be easily defeated. Moreover, it was just one person, a gold medal hunter with a level 50 magic weapon. When the major forces heard the news, all the Magic Gun Hunters felt that their achievements had fed the dogs. From a normal person's point of view, a level 50 magic weapon hunter will die more than live against a dragon.
Now, there is a hunter who has slaughtered a large herd on his own.
"I guess what we should do now is not to be surprised, but to hand over the hunting mission." The major powers have their own turf, those steel cities.
"That's right. Our best forces are defending against dragons and giants. If Mr. Long can clear a large number of them, we can save a lot of unnecessary troops and deploy them to deal with the herds of beasts near the city. In this way, our city can continue to expand and even add several new cities. "The family forces here are different from the Void, they are mortals.
As mortals, life is limited.
Because of the limitations, they must seize every opportunity. even, risking his life to gamble on the future.
The biggest difference between mortals and mages is that mages like to think, and mortals like to fight. Because mages live too long, they have time to prove right and wrong. But mortals can't, mortals have a short lifespan. For example, whether planting a giant tree is good or bad, mages can experiment, spend a hundred years watching the giant tree grow, and watch it have various effects. As for mortals, they don't wait so long, even if they don't catch it from generation to generation.
"It doesn't matter if Mr. Dragon is friend or foe, the dragon must be an enemy."
"That's right."
In the minds of mortals, bad things should be solved first, and there is no idle time to argue about right and wrong.
Especially in this magic world, arguing about right and wrong is the behavior of fools. It's like a giant beast like a giant dragon that eats people and burns the city, and if it is killed, the sky will fall apart, so it will be killed first. It's not about whether mortals are short-sighted or not, it's about their longevity dictating that they can only 'solve' the problem first, rather than 'meeting' to study it.
Soon.
The Tang Bronze Legion received numerous applications for hunting missions, without exception, either killing dragons or giants.
Everyone in the legion also knew that these tasks were for Mr. Long.
"Yes."
"Mr. Long, it may take a long time, we have to fly everywhere." Tang Tong knew that Mr. Long was mainly 'upgrading' and was not interested in making money. With a level 50 magic weapon, Mr. Long can be promoted to the city lord when he enters any family, and it is no problem to lie down and wait for the money.
"I need materials." Tang Shidao explained.
"Mr. Long, our entire Tang family is doing our best to collect it for you. With the dragons you hunted as goods, we can buy all those cheap materials. ”
"Well, I understand. However, every family and every city has something special. ”
"This ......"
"They don't sell this kind of thing because it's rare, and they have to study it as a collectible. Now, they need me to hunt the behemoth, and they have to take it out. You tell them, "I don't want too much, just a small portion for experimentation." In addition, the discarded magic guns, the mortal prisoners, I want these too. Tang Shidao put forward his own conditions, and I believe that the major families will not refuse.
"Well, you do things, we don't ask." Tang Tong strictly abides by the cooperation agreement.
"One more thing, the planets of the Magic Gun World all have mist, and I don't think there is absolute security. Personally, I suggest that the major families set up a common planetary defense force to work together to eliminate hidden dangers on the planet. Then, train aggressively and wait for unknown changes. I'll be honest, according to the laws of nature, a large number of top predators are slaughtered, and a large number of lower predators will explode. ”
"For example?"
"For example, if you have cats and mice in your house, and if you kill the cats, the mice will definitely explode. If I kill all the dragons, the 'prey' that the dragons will eat will surely increase. It's an ordinary place, but it's not a mortal area, there's magic here. So, I think this biological explosion will happen in a very short time, a year, or even less. ”
"I understand, I will inform the major families and listen to their opinions. However, we are afraid of dragons, not of monitor lizards and giant fish. ”
"Just be prepared."
"Do you have any other orders, Mr. Long?" Tang Tong was not afraid when he heard the big explosion of creatures, because compared to the dragon that could fly and breathe fire, it was okay for ordinary giant beasts to be in groups. The main combat power of the world of Magic Gun is the Iron Airship, which belongs to the aerial turrets and bombers. Without flying dragons, giants are not afraid of disasters. At most, the boats came out together and burned all the wilderness.
"There is indeed a question that remains unclear." Tang Shidao thought slightly.
"Mr. Long, please speak."
"According to you, studying high technology will lead to more powerful behemoths."
"Yes, it will happen. Mr. Dragon, that's no ordinary beast. In the historical record, the behemoth of a few hundred meters is just a small one. The planet has a myth-like record: in a period of ultra-high technology, thirty-six behemoths larger than a planet emerged from the nebula at the dawn of the apocalypse. They destroy all starfleets, they destroy all satellite bases, and everything on the planet is in debris except for a few people who live underground. ”
"And then?"
"We don't know, because the technical record has been disconnected, and only the oral accounts of the survivors remain. According to the oral account, the beasts were destroyed, and the roar disappeared after 100 days. No one dared to go out of the ground, and no one saw with their own eyes whether they were dead or not. After surviving silently in the cave for more than ten years, it has become a jungle wilderness when it is rediscovered. ”
"The mist has always been there?"
"Yes, it's always been there. After that 'myth' that I don't know whether it's true or not, no one tries high technology anymore. There is also a small rumor that there was more technology before that apocalypse, and more than once. But the result was the same defeat, and each time it was close to extinction. We don't know why the Behemoth didn't destroy the planet, but we can guess that even if we win them, there will be a stronger group next time. ”
"Is there a planet that is completely destroyed?" Tang Shidao suddenly asked.
"Yes. There are some planets where there are not many people left and they can't survive underground. Even if everyone has a magic weapon, the underground monsters are powerful. The most shameful thing is that some people also deliberately develop technology, resulting in countless terrifying monsters appearing underground. ”
"All the results?"
"Yes. Internal strife, malicious technology, or environmental discomfort, many planets have been wiped out. Of course, there are still a large number of creatures on it, and the natural environment will not be destroyed at any time, and it can be reborn even if it is destroyed. ”
"How are these planets now?" Tang Shidao already had an idea.
"Some of them were settled by powerful families and built a small number of steel cities. Some are vacant, and some are waiting for the natural environment to be restored. ”
"Entering through the Magic Gun Teleporter?"
"Yes."
"Okay, Captain Tang, you send someone to find a deserted planet, and it's best to be deserted."
"It's easy."
"Then you send for some scholars......"
"Mr. Long, you want to develop technology?"
"Yes, but not here, but on another uninhabited planet......"
"No, no, Mr. Long, it's useless. Even if you're researching and crafting it over there, you can't take it back here and use it. The manufacture and use of high-tech items have the same result, and they are bound to attract monsters. The higher the technology, the more monsters you attract. Mr. Long, I don't know what you want to do, but it's definitely not a good thing to study technology. Tang Tong almost prayed.
Originally, I didn't ask why.
However, he could not agree to the development of science and technology, nor did he agree to give up cooperation.
"You misunderstood, Captain Tang. I asked someone to study it, not for manufacturing and use, and if there is a finished product, it will be left on that uninhabited planet. You can understand it, I'm making bait, and I need a powerful monster to show up. ”
"I'm afraid our military strength is not enough ......"
"No, it's my business alone. Both you and the scholars need to prepare the fastest airships and flee back in case of danger. If the monsters can chase you, you can destroy the portal. Dealing with monsters is just my business, and it has nothing to do with you and your planet. ”
"......" Tang Tong understood.
Really understood.
After slaughtering the dragon, Mr. Long has no 'opponent'.
Right now.
He needs stronger opponents.
"Mr. Long, have you ever thought about one thing: you can't fail. Once you are defeated, you will not survive. Against a beast more powerful than a dragon, you can't escape. Tang Tong was silent for a while before speaking.
"Well, so I need to keep winning."
"......" Tang Tong was completely speechless.
This second.
Tang Tong truly understood the difference between mortals and gods: the latter never took danger in his eyes. When he mentioned the 'planet-sized giant beast' just now, Mr. Long's reaction was like hearing a big ant, and he didn't have the slightest fear. As the patriarch said, you can't persuade these travelers, because the thinking of the two sides is too far apart.
At last.
Tang Tong nodded: "We need a guarantee, if the giant beast may invade our planet, we must blow up the abandoned magic bolt teleporter." ”
"Of course, I'm very appreciative of you doing that."
"Then I'll inform the patriarch?"
"You can tell everybody, I don't mind."
“……”
Tang Tong was speechless, Mr. Long had already made up his mind, and if the Tang family didn't help, he would find another way to achieve it.
Two days later.
Truthfully return to the patriarch of Tang Xiu.
Very surprised, the old patriarch looked 'natural': "Mr. Long is not the first traveler to do this, and I believe it is not the last. ”
Tang Tong didn't believe it.
The old patriarch smiled and shook his head: "Really, the patriarchs of the family know about it, but ordinary people don't know it." In order to prevent travelers from doing their own research, we will also take the initiative to do it for them. Because it's better for them to make trouble on an uninhabited planet than on our planet. Of course, there are not many travelers with such guts. Go ahead and prepare, this kind of thing can't be done in a year and a half. We Tang 100% agree with the matter of the Planetary Defense Force, and I believe that everyone will not object. ”
"After Mr. Dragon clears the dragon, will there really be a big explosion of creatures?"
"Yes, definitely. But, as you know, we're afraid of dragons, but we're not afraid of other, weaker monsters, even if they're numerous. Tang Tong, you can't stop what the travelers want to do, because they are gods. Limiting their power, they are still gods. People like them won't stop 'climbing higher'. ”
"Yes." Tang Tong listened to the order and passed the word.
Less than a day.
The whole planet is surging.
In addition to the exclamations of major families and major cities, the travelers who practiced silently also 'woke up'...... The hunting season that truly belongs to them is coming.
