"Haha, that's right, it's really at stake. Your Rock City, the lowest-level base city that is not much better than a dilapidated house made of mud, does not need any second-level beast tide, just the wind and rain that has been carried out for many years has already put it in danger. ”

"Humph! The moat, the Urn City, the city wall, the city gate, the city defense of your Rock Fortress is still modeled after plagiarizing the capital of our ancient Korean Empire, 'Seoul'. ”

"Jiang Linyue, it is said that before the end of the world, you were just a school cafeteria guy who couldn't even read a few big characters, presumably you were at the bottom of society at that time, and you could only barely maintain food and clothing, and you didn't have the money to go abroad to witness the impregnable, magnificent, and antique appearance of our ancient city of 'Seoul'."

"Look at your shoddy earthen city of less than ten square kilometers, and what you call yourself 'Rock City', you mud-legged city lord is really a tiger and can't be an anti-dog!"

Park In-hyuk saw that Kim Man-chang's immeasurable value map was displayed in front of everyone, and in front of everyone's eyes, he had to immediately stop his jealousy of the summer night spirit, and his anger suddenly appeared and he couldn't vent directly at him, so he turned his head and sneered at Jiang Linyue, the city lord of Rock City.

As for what Xia Yeling said about the "second-level beast tide", he didn't believe it at all, because even the secret intelligence department of the Jinrong Consortium didn't have any news about this, and he was definitely a powerless hillbilly just now, just to attract people's attention, and after a while, he finished his rhetoric, and then he took out the evidence of the intelligence department to refute his qualification for the Eagle Falcon Medal, and it was not too late to take revenge without scruples at that time!

"Seoul? Hehe, Seoul, right, I've been there personally. On January 4, 1951 in the pre-Gregorian calendar before the end of the world, no one dared to stop your capital Seoul, which was attacked by tanks! Jiang Linyue, who gradually calmed down from the excitement and shock brought by the map in front of him, stabbed at Park In-hyuk with his eyes like a blade, and then turned his head to Xia Yeling on the stage with gratitude, and said in a trembling tone: "The value of this map is really ...... Is...... Such a great favor! I don't know how to thank you, old man! ”

"Regarding this hunting map, after the meeting is dismissed, the old man, I will immediately report to Lanfeng City according to the regular procedures for applying for 'military merit' and 'military rank', so as not to be plagiarized by others!"

"But...... Eidolon, please elaborate on the situation of the 'Tier 2 Beast Tide'. Steel Panther! If anyone interjects again, they will be expelled from the field by force immediately! Now this exciting and tense situation is related to the safety of Rock City, and there can be no slightest concession, and we have to be careful!

For the period of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea before the end of the world, the history of the volunteer soldiers taking the lead in conquering Seoul Xia Yeling had read it from the library before, but today he heard Jiang Linyue's domineering direct counterattack with his own ears, and he couldn't help but feel admiration and sigh......

The noisy and chaotic atmosphere on the field also calmed down suddenly because of the fierce and domineering counterattack of the city lord Jiang Linyue, Xia Yeling nodded with satisfaction, held the [Killing Throat] in his right hand and lightly pointed to a point next to the map, frowned and said seriously: "This is all the data of the fierce beasts hunted in the winter hunting of Rock City over the years, everyone see-"

"Steel-tailed hyenas, one-horned porcupines, saber-toothed snow tigers...... This type has evolved a powerful offensive 'special skill', and there are a total of 476 powerful carnivorous large and medium-sized fierce beasts with strong attack on warriors, high lethality, and high value. ”

"And the purple raccoon rat, the six-clawed rabbit, the colorful pheasant...... There are a total of 117 small ferocious beasts that are mainly herbivorous and have a relatively weak desire to attack human warriors, but are weak and alert by nature, and are difficult to hunt, and their carcasses have very low usable value.

"The huge disparity in the number of killings of the two types of fierce beasts is obvious."

"That's right, Eidolon, that's right. Fur, bones, teeth, flesh, and high-grade spirit crystals on the carcasses of large and medium-sized carnivorous beasts...... These precious materials have extremely high gain value for our martial arts cultivation and equipment forging, and they are also more harmful to Rock City! ”

"And those small ferocious beasts that are mainly herbivorous, in addition to satisfying their stomachs and hunger, other effects on the cultivation of martial artists are actually not very good, and they are alert and dexterous and not easy to find, so in winter hunting, we have always selectively hunted and killed those large carnivorous beasts that are bloodthirsty and ferocious, but have obvious targets and large returns." , Regardless of Park In-hyuk, who was so angry that he was angry at his unjustifiable remarks just now, Jiang Linyue City Lord answered Xia Yeling's question seriously.

"There is always a certain predation and predation relationship between the various organisms in the ecosystem, so that changes in the number of individuals in a certain group often lead to significant changes in the number of individuals in other populations related to it - the most basic principle of the ecological predation food chain must be well understood by all of you."

"Then, the number of such large and medium-sized carnivorous bloodthirsty beasts at the top of the ecological food chain has decreased significantly, according to the normal theory of the ecosystem food chain, the natural enemies of the herbivorous beasts have disappeared in large numbers for a long time, and their populations should have a sudden outbreak according to common sense. But—", Xia Yeling said in a serious tone with his hands propped up on the rostrum.

"Well, the ecosystem food chain, understand, anyway, we are also excellent graduates of Rock Academy! We can all pat our chests and proudly say that the inheritance of civilization, the most precious treasure of mankind, has not been interrupted even in the last days when there is a shortage of materials and the situation is precarious!

"Well, yes, the theory of ecosystem predatory food chains is correct even in the last days, Ereital, please keep going......"

"That's right...... Could it be that what you want to say is that small herbivorous beasts that have been overbred due to the disappearance of natural predators over the years will form a beast tide because of this?! ”

"Isn't that right?! I had just gone out of the city to hunt once, and there was no ...... in the shadow jungle at all."

Looking at the crowd who suddenly started to discuss in the audience, Xia Yeling pressed his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then raised his tone again: "Yes! That's where it doesn't make sense! Under normal circumstances, after a large number of natural enemies disappear, the sudden explosion of the number of herbivorous beasts will cause obvious 'over-cultivation' of trees and vegetation in the shadow jungle! ”

"However, judging from the latest information marked on this map, the 'Snow Ridge Spruce' is vigorous and lush, and the vegetation such as moss, pine grass, and pearl bud knotweed on the banks of the 'Jade River' is growing well in a continuous manner......

"The vegetation in the Shadow Jungle, our main hunting area in Rock City, is lush and well-grown, without even the slightest sign of over-cultivation! What does this mean?! ”

The group of warriors in the audience, the blue tendons on their foreheads suddenly protruded, their faces were hideous and distorted, and their breathing instantly became heavy, and under the prompting of the Summer Night Spirit, they couldn't help but think of a truth that made them shudder and couldn't believe it......

"That's right, it's because, after so many years of winter hunting, the herbivorous beasts and their natural predators, the large and medium-sized carnivorous bloodthirsty beasts that exist on the outskirts of Rock City, have not even reduced their overall numbers to the slightest extent!"

"No, it can't be at all - small herbivorous beasts, natural predators disappear, forming a beast tide!"

"Based on the information summarized on this map, we can analyze the age of the beast, the soundness of the limbs, the combat effectiveness of the beast, and the health of the flesh and blood...... Over the years, the group of fierce beasts that we have hunted and killed in Rock City, a large part of them are some old, weak, sick and disabled, with extremely low combat effectiveness, and their lives are short! It's safe to say that our winter hunts have been doing useless work all these years! ”

"Be bold and be careful! Based on the above data analysis, I think there is at least a ninety percent chance that in the Broken Ridge Mountain Range of the Hunting Forbidden Land, there may be a 'Beastmaster' who can lead the entire beast herd at the top level, and the level is at least the second-order king level! ”

Ignoring the noisy discussion that suddenly erupted from everyone in the audience, Xia Ye's spirit face continued to extend downward and analyze, "It has given birth to a powerful intelligence, and it has been accurately controlling the entire large and medium-sized carnivorous bloodthirsty beast population for all these years, as well as the population distribution!" ”

"Obviously, the so-called 'great results' of our winter hunts over the years are all caused by this 'beastmaster' who is emitting smoke - fog bombs to confuse us!"

"And the main force of that large and medium-sized carnivorous bloodthirsty beast population that can easily inflict a devastating blow on Rock City, under the control and leadership of that 'Beast King', there is a chance that at least ninety percent of them have been lurking in our Rock City's hunting forbidden land, the [Broken Spine Mountain Range], accumulating strength and multiplying!"

"And this year, the number of times we go out of the city to hunt has not decreased, but frequently increased the scale of the number of times out of the city, as we all know, this is because every time we go out of the city to hunt this year, the harvest is the lowest in the history, and most of the hard hunting is rats, rabbits, pheasants...... This kind of small herbivorous beast can't even satisfy its most basic stomachs and hunger, and I won't say how many people we have starved to death in Rock City this year......"

"And! This year, the Shadow Jungle overgrown its vegetation at the bottom of the food chain, and its natural predators, the herbivorous beast population, in the middle of the food chain, suddenly disappeared for unknown reasons...... What does this anomaly indicate?! ”

Xia Yeling suddenly raised the [Killing Throat] that was clenched in his right hand and covered the scabbard, "Qiang! With a bang, he shook his hand and knocked on a point on the map representing Rock City, and shouted: "To sum up, there is only one truth - at the end of this year, after all these years of hiding in the [Broken Ridge Mountain Range], which is a forbidden place for us to hunt, under the leadership of that 'Beast King', this group of the most fierce, powerful, fierce and bloodthirsty top predators at the top of the food chain has accumulated strength in a large number of herbivorous beast populations in the lower layers of the predatory food chain, and they have finished breeding, and they are going to launch a devastating [Beast Tide] attack on our Rock City, and they will go out in their nests, It's all in one battle! ”

Xia Yeling stood on the rostrum of the council hall with a heroic figure, and pointed with his backhand to the two sisters and brothers hanging on the tactical panel, the latest version of the wild hunting map of Rock City that had been drawn by countless days and nights of painstaking efforts over the years, and confidently made a final summary in his tone, and said in a deafening voice: "At least the massive destruction [Second Tier Beast Tide] led by the second-order king-level 'Beast King' has carried out a surprise sneak attack on our Rock City!" ”

"Rock City is in danger!"

"However, regarding this damp attack, next, I have made two parallel tactical arrangements in advance, hoping that all of you here with the most powerful combat power and the most rich experience in Rock City can work together to correct and analyze it, and together we will defend and defend Rock City in the beast tide, and even carry out a lethal counterattack against the incoming beast tide, and formulate the most perfect tactical plan——"

Wow! As soon as the words fell, an unprecedented uproar suddenly broke out in the council hall of the City Lord of Rock City!

――――――――――――――

Happy National Day, everyone, delicious food, drink and fun!

Alas, I really had a brain twitch to write this thankless plot......
