Chapter 103: The Theory of Demonic Evolution
With Rocky's order, the ten floating ships that surrounded the demons in the air immediately began to bombard indiscriminately!
There are only two magic cannons on a floating ship, and even if the cannons are fired non-stop, the lethality is very limited, but the magic cannons of ten floating ships become twenty, and the twenty magic cannons are carried out non-stop, so the effect and scene are absolutely different.
From the first cannon sound, the sound of the magic cannon was completely connected, and the rumbling and rumbling shelling almost never stopped.
And under such a fierce bombardment, a series of dense explosions suddenly appeared on the ground, and in an instant, they inflicted heavy damage on the gathered demons.
It stands to reason that the hit rate of magic cannons is not very high, especially Rocky's floating ships are all old-fashioned magic cannons, aiming is all by eye, and the hit rate can be imagined, but because the hordes of demons are too dense, the gunners don't need to deliberately aim at all, they only need to fire at a range.
Under this incessant bombardment, the gathered hordes of demons roared into the sky at first, but it didn't take long for them to start scattering and fleeing.
Because the demon's body is very strong, the speed of escape is quite fast, from the first demon escaped, that is, a few minutes passed, the gathered group of demons fled in all directions, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Stop shelling. β
Seeing that the demon had almost escaped in the smoke of the cannonball, Rocky ordered the shelling to stop, after all, the magic energy of the magic cannon was not infinite and could not be wasted.
Under his orders, the 10 floating boats stopped firing one after another, and only after more than 10 minutes had passed did the smoke from the artillery fire gradually subside, revealing the potholed surface.
Standing on the bow of the ship, Rocky looked down, and in addition to seeing the chaos of the ground being blown up, he could also see the corpses of some demons.
One, two, three...... After a rough count, more than a dozen demons were directly killed after this round of shelling, and it can be said that the results are quite significant.
But such a good result still makes it difficult for Rocky to stretch his brows.
"Fili......"
Retracting his gaze, Rocky called Fili, "I remember you said that the last time you bombarded these demons, the Ox Armor Demon seemed to be very irritable?"
"Yes. β
I didn't quite understand why Rocky was asking about this, but Filly nodded anyway, and said with certainty: "My lord, I remember very well that the last time we bombed, the Ox Armor Demon roared at the floating ship in the cannon fire, and they didn't leave until all the Black-Eyed Demons had run away. β
"That's ...... How far are we from Beishan Village now?"
After hearing this answer, Rocky asked again.
"It's about eight kilometres. β
"Eight kilometers ......"
Filly's answer made Rocky's brow furrow even tighter as he kept nodding his head.
The reason for his frown was very simple, that is, during this bombing, he made a special observation and found that the Ox Armor Demon did not show the slightest 'backbone', and soon after the bombing began, this kind of demon ran away with the Black-Eyed Demon......
What does this mean?
Is the Ox Armor Demon afraid?
Lodge thought absolutely not, and the fact that the ten floating ships bombed together did not leave a single corpse of cow armor behind proved that this demon was very strong.
This can only show that the Ox Armor Demon has become smarter!
Or rather...... They obeyed some kind of command, knowing that they should run away as soon as the floating ship starts!
At the same time, the demons gathered in different places, what does this mean?
These questions made Rocky groan for a long time, and it took a while for a new order to be issued.
"Order all the floating ships to continue the investigation, and once they find the demons that have gathered together, immediately notify the other floating ships, and bomb them when all the people are ready. β
After giving this order, he asked Fili to sail the floating ship he was in back to Beishan Village.
This personal inspection allowed Rocky to confirm his previous thoughts, the reason why the demons gathered in groups must be organized, and the reason for organizing them was to obey the command!
And if this is true, then it is too frightening, the demon who used to act only on instinct has suddenly become organized, and has begun to obey orders, and the consequences of this are unimaginable, so he must tell the people of Beishan Village about it, whether they believe it or not.
In this way, when the sky was bright, he returned to Beishan Village, and immediately summoned Lin Feng, Lilia, Monte and everyone else!
"Guys, that's all I found out yesterday. β
Standing in front of a tabula rasa, Rocky faced not only Lin Feng, Lilia, and Monte, but also Jack, the village elder of Beishan Village, and the team leaders of the two armies were also called.
In front of so many people, Rocky recounted what he had detected yesterday, and when he finished speaking, everyone was stunned, because his point of view was really unacceptable to everyone.
The demons are organized?
This monster is starting to obey the command?
Is this a fantasy?
No, even if it's a fantasy, it's a little too fast!
"Captain Rocky, everything you've discovered...... Could it be, could it be just a coincidence?"
The oldest of them all was the village elder Jack, who had the most experience in dealing with demons even though he couldn't fight, but even he had never experienced anything like this.
"Your Excellency, I don't think any of this is a coincidence. β
As he spoke, Rocky drew a circle with charcoal on the whiteboard behind him: "This position represents Beishan Village." β
After that, he drew a small circle in front of the circle representing Beishan Village: "This is the place where the Philip Demon first gathered, and this is the ...... It is the location of the demon's second time. β
After drawing a third circle on the board, Rocky said, "You should be able to see that the place where the demons first gathered was about five kilometers away from Beishan Village, but it was soon discovered by the floating boat. β
"But when the float discovered the demon gathering point for the second time, it was eight kilometers away from Beishan Village. β
"If the demons gather in groups once, it may be a coincidence, but what if they appear twice in a row in one day? and the second time the demons gather more in number and variety, is it still a coincidence? I don't think so. β
"And think about it, the place where the demons first gathered was five kilometers away from Beishan Village, but when they gathered for the second time, the distance was even farther away, why do you think that?"
"Could it be...... Could it be that these gathered demons are hiding from us?"
When Rocky's words were over, Lilia opened her mouth in surprise.
"Not avoiding us, but avoiding the floating ship......"
After she finished speaking, Lin Feng, whose brows had already been twisted into a pimple, opened his mouth and said, the demons were not hiding from the mountain villages, but from the floating ships that bombed them!
"That's right, I think the demon is indeed hiding from the floating boat. β
At this time, Rocky also nodded, and then he said the different reactions of the bull armor demon in the two bombings before and after.
And when he had finished saying all this, the dozen or so people in the tent let out a burst of surprised inhalation.
Demon...... Evolved?!
How is this possible!
Although he still didn't believe that this kind of thing would happen in his heart, everything Rocky said just now was reasonable, so that everyone couldn't refute it at all, and it was really pointless to refute it in this matter, because no matter whether Rocky's guess was true or not, it couldn't change the fact that Beishan Village was going to suffer!
In just one day, there were more than forty demons gathered, and there was no sign of stopping at all, so by the time these demons really started to attack Beishan Village, how many would they be?
That's the most important thing to pay attention to!
"ThisβThis is ...... What to do......"
Old Jack, who has been the village chief for decades, his old face also showed panic at this time, he was really panicked, and he should indeed be panicked!
"Your Excellency, the village chief. β
And just when Old Jack was a little at a loss, Rocky said to him: "Your Excellency the village chief, since we have taken over this task, we will definitely complete it, and Captain Lin Feng and I will work together in this regard." β
"So don't worry about that, but ......"
After saying this, he paused, and then continued: "These words may not be said by me, but I still hope that as the village chief, you can make plans for the future of Beishan Village, now the demon is different from the past, if you and the villagers continue to stay here......"
Glancing at Old Jack, Rocky let out a long sigh and didn't continue.
