Chapter 146 - 146 Brutal Killing
Qian Yu subconsciously narrowed his eyes and examined Aloy.
Aloy smiled as she looked at Qian Yu. She had already thought of how to reply to this kind of questioning. “There are many books about wormholes in the mayor’s mansion. I picked up this knowledge from there. If you’re curious about them, I can make a copy for you when I get back.”
“No, thanks.” Upon hearing Aloy’s words, Qian Yu’s doubts disappeared. He grabbed the reins tightly and led the other two into the deepest part of the jungle.
“Roar!”
!!
“Caw!”
“Howl!”
As soon as they entered the depths of the jungle, the cries of exotic beasts rang out one after another.
“This place is much more dangerous than before.” Shen Fei frowned.
Previously, to save Li Ruoying, he had come here once. At that time, the scene could definitely be described as extremely gloomy. However, this time, the scene was even worse than before.
The jungle, which had once been rather quiet, was now filled with all kinds of exotic beasts with bloodshot eyes. Many different types of exotic beasts gathered together, tearing and biting each other violently.
Bloody and broken limbs were thrown in all directions, falling into piles of leaves and disappearing.
“The scene here is much crueler than I thought.” Aloy observed carefully while she sat on the back of the Elemental Tyrannosaurus.
Qian Yu immediately turned his head and said to Shen Fei and Aloy, “You can come down now. This place is not suitable for the Elemental Tyrannosaurus to move around.
Shen Fei nodded understandingly. He let go of the reins and jumped down from the back of the Elemental Tyrannosaurus. The moment he landed, Aloy followed him and jumped down.
Qian Yu looked around uneasily and reminded them in a low voice, “Keep your voices down when you move. The monsters in this area have super-sensitive hearing. It’ll be dangerous if they discover us.”
“Understood.”
Shen Fei firmly nodded his head. With small steps, he walked around the dead branches and leaves on the ground, and continued walking toward the black shadow in the air.
“Roar!” The exotic beasts around them continued to attack each other even though they had lost their arms and legs.
“Speaking of which, since these exotic beasts are already killing each other like this, why would they still be willing to gather together and attack us after the fighting? Also, how many of them can still fight if they kill each other like this?”
Shen Fei curiously surveyed the surrounding beasts. Although these exotic beasts were very strong to begin with, after such a battle, these guys with missing limbs would probably not last more than ten seconds against the Flame Owl.
“You can think of the exotic beast horde as a bonfire that burns brighter and brighter. Those who fall here, or those who are missing an arm or a leg, are all firewood for the bonfire.” Aloy watched coldly as the exotic beasts fell to the ground as their own kind tore at them mercilessly.
As soon as these exotic beasts lay on the ground, their companions, whose eyes were already red from the killing, immediately swarmed forward without hesitation. They opened their huge maws, cut open its stomach, and ate it. The pungent smell of blood spread wherever the blood flowed.
Aloy frowned and pinched her nose.
“In fact, they didn’t even exist in the last formed exotic beast horde. All we could see was the raging fire. The weaklings die to give birth to stronger beasts, which are the flames.”
At this point, Aloy looked back at the exotic beasts that were tearing at each other. Following their feasting, the missing parts or wounds on their bodies were slowly covered by the flowing blood and flesh.
“Survivors like them are the main force of the exotic beast horde.”
“I see.” Shen Fei nodded. “Now that we have the fuel and the fire, what is the strongest leader that you mentioned before?”
“It’s a ‘woodcutter’ that guards the bonfire and makes it burn even brighter.” Aloy scanned the surroundings. “However, one hasn’t been chosen yet. The quality of the exotic beasts here is too low. They don’t even have the qualifications to be the strongest leader.
“The exotic beasts often have to go through many rounds of fighting before they can choose the strongest one. Moreover, they won’t stop fighting until one of them dies. In this case, the one chosen must have the highest attack power, the best endurance, and even be the smartest.
“Before that, the long period of fighting would probably last two to three days. Only when they have completely survived this difficult period will they be able to form a powerful group under the command of their leader, and launch an attack on us.”
Upon hearing this, Qian Yu touched his chin thoughtfully. “Doesn’t that mean we have plenty of chances? For example, if we encounter such a situation again, we can just send people to interfere with these exotic beasts and kill the chosen leader so they won’t be able to form a group. Wouldn’t we be able to eliminate the danger from the source?”
“The tactic you speak of is useful.” Aloy nodded affirmatively. This was one of the most common moves they would use in the future. “However, it’s very difficult to execute this move. It takes absolute power to crush it.”
There was a hint of sadness in Aloy’s eyes. The people from the future only discovered the problem when the exotic beasts in the wormhole outmatched them.
Fortunately, the wormhole in this world was still in its development stage. Therefore, even a Dragon Tamer like Qian Yu could easily handle the problem.
“In short, we just need to find the strongest one and subdue him. Then, the issue will be solved, right?” Shen Fei directly looked toward the deeper parts of the jungle.
“That’s right.” Aloy nodded her head firmly, but her eyes were filled with worry. “We have to be careful here.”
At this point, Aloy pointed at the Black Sun that was hovering in the sky.
“He’s here, too.”
…
“Is this the place where these exotic beasts have chosen their leader?” Lear frowned, his hand still holding onto the Black Sun’s antenna.
He half-squatted as he carefully observed the exotic beasts in the area.
“Tsk, the quality isn’t very good.” Lear frowned. Most of the exotic beasts here were not even half as strong as the Black Sun.
