"How?"

Zhao Futu looked at the dungeon in front of him and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

He didn't expect this abandoned dungeon to be so big, more than a few kilometers in diameter, just like a big town. Although many of the places have been dilapidated and abandoned, the center is still large, once the seat of the Interior Office, separated by a collapsed building, with the Minotaur's territory on the left and Medusa's lair on the right.

"If there's only one creature, maybe there's really no way. But since there are two different creatures living there, maybe you can find a way to try. Zhao Futu had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he seemed to have grasped something.

In the underworld, all living things are active and form an ecological cycle according to the rules of the food chain.

Just as there are cavemen living in a place where there are a lot of underground mushrooms, these creatures at the bottom of the food chain can be found almost everywhere, and they are huge in number, and their ability to reproduce is far higher than that of humans. The wisdom of cave people is not high, but they only need a few years from birth to adulthood, and their life cycle is even longer than that of humans, and they can live to be more than a hundred years old if they are free of diseases and disasters.

So, if cavemen were not hunted by others, they would have spread like locusts.

The Underground Cavemen are the food source for all the carnivorous creatures in the Dungeon, whether it's the Harpy, the Evil Eye, Medusa, the Minotaur, the powerful sixth-order creature Lion Scorpion, and even the Red Dragon Black Dragon, which sometimes feeds on the Caveman. Because of this, the number of cavemen in each area of the Underworld maintains a delicate balance.

Their habitat is often surrounded by many nests of wild creatures, which then become a regular source of food for people in captivity.

………………

With so many creatures living in this area, it is only natural that there is a need for a regular source of meat.

Therefore, Zhao Futu is completely sure that there should be a tribe of cavemen living in this vicinity, as well as some other underground species, because Zhao Futu recently discovered that the Medusas like to hunt harpies. As fourth-order creatures who are good at bows and arrows, they have a lot of trouble hunting harpy banshees. Therefore, there should also be a large harpy colony nearby as a food source for Medusa.

"Two options."

Zhao Futu led the army back to the location of the abandoned mine, and then said slowly to the girl paladin and Medusa hero beside him: "The first plan is for us to break the nearby ecological balance circle, so that the minotaur and Medusa will have conflicts due to lack of food. ”

"In this way, they are bound to fight!"

"However, this method will take a long time, and we are not very familiar with the situation here, so I wonder if they will have other food sources."

………………

"The second option. It's that we directly provoke their relationship. Speaking of this, Zhao Futu turned his head to look at Melina, the Medusa hero beside him, if he wants to provoke the relationship between Medusa and the Minotaur and make it contradict because of the conflict, then the Medusa hero in front of him must come out. Let her lead her Medusa elite to attack the minotaur who is out hunting.

If they succeed in convincing the Minotaurs to think that Medusa living next door is attacking them, then the plan is half the battle.

"Master!"

"Do you mean to let me sneak up on them?"

As soon as the cold pupils of the Medusa hero turned, he understood what Zhao Futu meant, and said slowly: "A wild lair of this scale must produce a leader with a certain amount of wisdom inside. If it were only to attack them, I am afraid that it would not be able to provoke a war between them. ”

"Still."

"Maybe I have a way to get them to fight!"

After speaking, Melina, the Medusa hero, approached Zhao Futu's side and whispered a few words, and then Zhao Futu's face showed a hint of joy. I couldn't help but nod approvingly.

………………

The next day.

As a new day begins, the various creatures in the dungeon start to get busy again.

Despite being an underworld, there are still many low, stout things that resemble shrubs, and the cavemen are busy cutting down trees. Wild or self-grown underground mushrooms are then gathered, and rudimentary iron pots or stone pots are set up, and some powder is ground off some phosphorescent stones. There is still salt in those powders, which ordinary people will definitely not be able to bear, but they are not much of a problem.

Sometimes, they even put some stones containing certain minerals into a pot and cook them with underground mushrooms!

While the cavemen were busy preparing their food, the other creatures began their hunting journey.

Relying only on ordinary underground mushrooms, maybe the cavemen can guarantee that they will not starve to death, but if they want to advance themselves and make the race more powerful, they also need to hunt other creatures, they need to eat meat and collect rare resources, because if you want to advance to the level of hell cavemen, even if you eat mushrooms for a hundred years, it is not possible.

So, while the old and weak women and children began to cook mushrooms, the other cavemen warriors also set out in groups to hunt other species.

Their targets are mainly focused on some of the same low-level creatures, but even if they hunt harpys, they will have to pay several times the casualties, and then return to the tribe with a few hunted food, leaving a large number of corpses of their kind to serve as food for other creatures. This is an invisible ecological balance, and the composition of the food chain maintains order in the area.

But.

Something must be different today.

Because there was a group of more than a dozen minotaurs when they came to the vicinity of the cavemen's lair, which usually fought in the autumn wind, they were surprised to find that all the cavemen had died.

Even if it is an ethnic group, it is also divided into small collectives.

In other words, the minotaurs form small family units in a large tribe according to their bloodline and so on, so the minotaurs usually come out to hunt for food, at most a dozen of them act together, and only when they encounter special circumstances will they gather more companions. The minotaur elite at the head had a puzzled look on his face, as it didn't know who had killed their regular food source.

You know, even if they hunt cavemen, every time they hunt cavemen, it's just enough to eat!

And now they've been killed!

What to eat after that?

The Minotaur elite led by him lay on the ground and sniffed, and suddenly a trace of anger appeared on his face, because it smelled a familiar smell, which was the smell left by Medusa!

"Moo!"

The Minotaur Elite let out an angry roar, and a pair of bull's eyes the size of copper bells couldn't help but turn red, and it roared in a language that no one else could understand.

It probably means that the bastards Medusa! They've crossed the line!

All along, Medusa and the minotaur have not been at peace, but both sides can't help each other.

In the battles, the two sides finally reached some compromises, which were nothing more than dividing their own territory and then taking what they needed. The source of food determines whether the group can grow, and Medusa's behavior of crossing the line is undoubtedly a naked provocation for them, and it is the kind of behavior of standing at the door of other people's houses and slapping their faces!

So, the minotaur who went out hunting did not hesitate to quickly track the traces left by the group of Medusa.

A moment later.

They caught up with the group of medusas who had crossed the line, but after seeing these medusas clearly, the minotaur elite led by them couldn't help but shudder.

Because there are too many enemies!

All twenty or so Medusa elites did not hesitate to mount their bows after seeing them, and then a rain of arrows came over.

The first wave of arrows has just fallen, the second wave has already hit, and the third wave is already being prepared.

Maybe the minotaur really had rough skin and thick flesh, but in the face of the enemy's dense long-range fire, five or six of them fell at once, and the wounds of the other injured minotaurs couldn't help but flow a dark cyan blood. Melina, the Medusa hero, seems to have the ability to teach skills to other Medusa, and she can get some of the elite Medusa to master the same poison arrow skills she had in the first place.

Before the fight started, half of his side had already fallen to the ground.

Even the Minotaur, who often has high morale, is a little guilty at this point.

And.

The number of the other party is obviously a lot more than his own, even if he forcibly rushes in front of the enemy, I am afraid that it will be the life of a dumpling.

The Minotaur may be simple-minded, but it's not stupid at all!

So, under the shouts of the minotaur elite at the head, the minotaur around it ran away again.

Heroes don't suffer immediate losses!

When the other brothers are gathered, come and kill this group of Medusa who have crossed the line!

The Medusas didn't seem to have any intention of letting the minotaurs escape, and after a few waves of arrows, there was not much left of the minotaurs.

Several of them were poisoned and couldn't run, and Medusa, who was caught up, was directly dismembered.

………………

From the beginning of the battle to the end of the battle, it was only a few minutes, and there were more than a dozen minotaur corpses left on the ground.

The only Minotaur elite who ran away also fled with seven or eight arrows on his body.

Even if it makes it back alive, it probably won't last long!

It's not that the Medusa can't keep it, it's more like they received some kind of instruction to deliberately let the minotaur elite escape. (To be continued.) )
