"Yue, let's go. You're going to do me a favor this time!"

Xue Wushu smiled without looking back: "Of course." Hunt a white-ridged beast, and then dig out the crystal horn on its head completely, and give it to Cang as a gift, right?"

"Yes! You promised me. And you also said that you have no idea about Cang, otherwise I wouldn't have asked you for help. ”

The indigenous who spoke to Xue Wusuan was called "Broken", the son of the patriarch. The cultivation is good, it is considered outstanding, and he was also a candidate for the next patriarch before, but after Xue Wushu came, there was no such thing as a candidate. However, the atmosphere here is such that the idea of the strong getting it is very pure, and no one thinks there is anything wrong with it.

The broken sweetheart is the "cang" mentioned by Xue Wusuan, one of the many indigenous women who want to marry Xue Wusuan, and is also one of the people ignored by Xue Wusuan. Broken wanted to win Cang's heart, so he asked Xue Wushu to take him out hunting, he wanted to hunt an extremely rare white-ridged beast, and use the crystal horn on the white-ridged beast's head as a gift to Cang. It is the most precious gift of indigenous love.

Xue Wushu deserved to help with this favor, so he took "Shattered" with him when he went out hunting this time, and searched for the traces of the white-ridged beast along the way.

However, less than a thousand miles after leaving the tribe, Xue Wusuan and his party found some signs of abnormality.

The warriors in the hunting team were all good hands in the tribe, experienced and courageous and careful, especially after these natives learned some tricks from Xue Wusuan, they carried forward and became extremely sharp.

"Month, I think something is wrong. ”

"Huh?"

"There are so few little beasts around. They are usually the most stuff and can be seen everywhere you go. But I didn't find much this time. ”

A small beast is a beast that is no more than one meter in size. These beasts are numerous and diverse, and are a major part of the creatures of this plane. They disperse seeds for vegetation, feed large beasts, and are an important part of maintaining ecological balance.

The natives generally do not hunt small animals. They target organisms that are in the middle and upper reaches of the mammal food chain. But even if the little beast was not the target, after walking nearly a thousand miles, he found that the rating of the small beast's appearance was too low, which immediately attracted the attention of the hunting team.

"You're ruthless. This is indeed an anomaly, but it will take some clues to find out why. Our task also needs to continue. In addition, as you can see, this time the "shattered" came with it, so we still need to hunt a white-ridged beast, which is a bit too much. The abnormality of the little beast can only be checked by the way. I'll report back to the patriarch when I get back. ”

"Well, it's all up to you, Moon. ”

Except for the reduction of small beasts, the rest of the way seems to be normal. The hunting party is also much more vigilant than ever. A lot of prey was hunted, but not a single white-ridged beast was encountered. The most anxious thing is "broken". Before he came out, he boasted to his sweetheart "Cang" that he wanted to give her a crystal horn as a gift, and a dishonest person can't get a wife.

"Don't worry, shattered. The white-ridged beast is a loner, and many people have never seen it alive in their lives. It's only been a few days, and there's still a lot of time, so there's no need to rush. Xue Wushu comforted the eager shredded. At the same time, Shen Nian had actually locked on to a white-ridged beast wandering around the neighborhood early, and he had been leading people to approach it. This requires care and slowness, otherwise it is easy for the white-ridged beast to sense the danger and run away.

However, under the background of this seemingly strange but seemingly stable hunting outing, Xue Wushu still found more information than others: the death bell had already rang.

Not all of those little beasts disappeared, and there were others, but Xue Wushu found that they were all small beasts that were very aggressive and disrupted the layout of the food chain. For example, the kind of small beasts that are super fertile and omnivorous have not decreased at all. And other than that, the behemoths around them don't seem to have changed much, but the fluctuations of their souls are much more unstable than before.

Soul fluctuations generally occur when emotions fluctuate violently and life forms rise and fall. The former "emotion" mostly refers to the highly intelligent beings, while the latter "life form ascent" is mainly the ascent of the spiritual realm. The same is true for many low-level intelligent beings in this plane who have relied on the extra spirit to step into the demon cultivation.

There is also a possibility that some external reason directly acts on the souls of these beings, or persecution or collusion.

Xue Wushu judged that it should be caused by external factors that these living souls fluctuated unsteadily. Then there must be a great mana behind the scenes. In this way, I have to think of the "disaster" he judged before.

The catastrophe is a beast tide, millions of violent beasts pounced together, and there are a large number of immortal-level demon beasts in it, and their attack power and impact power are by no means something that a mere tribe can withstand for a moment.

Therefore, the first place of the Great Sacrifice has already begun to bring evil consequences.

Purge, purge all the "tenants" who have the potential to turn into serfs and sing.

This is an ending that has been set without accident, and it is also caused by the tribe, or in fact, it was caused by Xue Wusuan. After all, without his help, this tribe would not have been able to get the first place in the Great Sacrifice, let alone be favored by this disaster.

On the ninth day, the patriarch's son "broken" finally got his wish. A newly grown white-ridged beast was captured and hunted. The half-foot-high crystal horn was dug out and cleaned like a precious and beautiful work of art.

"Thank you, Moon, and everyone. I'll definitely invite everyone to drink when I go back this time!"

"Hahaha, that's what you said, we'll definitely drink all the wine you hid!"

"Yes, yes, drink it all!"

The task of hunting is complete, and the favor of "Crush" is also completed. A group of ten people returned to the tribe. As soon as possible, Xue Wushu told the patriarch about the anomalies he had found along the way. There is nothing to hide, for these natives, it makes no difference whether they know it or not, it is an unavoidable and unsolvable desperate situation.

Of course, even if the patriarch paid attention to Xue Wusuan, he would not immediately realize the seriousness of the situation. Because logically, there is no danger around their tribe. The chance of a beast tide is extremely small, and there are no events left behind to use as a reference. Therefore, the patriarch ordered all the hunting parties to narrow down their activities, focusing on finding out the cause of the sudden decline in the number of small beasts.

On the other hand, Xue Wushu was speeding up his research, and he still lacked a little bit of perfection. The opposite would be deliberately turned into an instinct, which was a bit difficult, but he was confident that he could complete it before disaster befell the tribe.

Just two months. More than a dozen tribesmen who went out hunting died, which is several times more than normal. And the reason for the large number of small beasts to disappear has not been found, and a dark cloud has been pressed on the hearts of the patriarch and other high-level tribesmen, and there are signs of imminent crisis.
