Chapter 373 The Golden "King"
After finally confirming that there were no survivors left, the injured were placed in the Marutori car.
The hunters left quickly.
No one questions Gordon's decision. The most taboo thing in the hunting ground is disputes and hesitation.
Only Ancil, who was riding in the same car with Gordon, asked in a low voice, "Did you notice anything that made you leave in such a hurry?"
Gordon nodded his chin invisibly and said to him softly: "It's been almost two days. The smell of blood is so strong that the corpses are starting to stink, but there are still no scavengers like dogs and dragons coming over.
There must be a thunder wolf dragon that left its urine and marked that area as its territory. I Worried that they will come back."
Anhil looked at the two injured people in the car and said, "I understand."
With the strength of their two teams, they can deal with them at the same time. Three-headed Thunder Wolf Dragons will not be a problem, and if the tactics are arranged properly, four-headed ones are also possible.
According to Gordon's past temperament, the number of Thunder Wolf Dragons has not yet been determined, so they will not retreat so easily.
It was this guy's style to stay here and wait for the Thunder Wolf Dragon to come back so that the two sides could fight.
But they found the seriously wounded, so everything could only be done conservatively.
On the way back to Jieyun Village, the hunters were on alert, fearing that several thunder wolf dragons would emerge from the deep forests on both sides of the forest road.
Fortunately, that terrible situation did not happen, and the group returned to Yuyun Village without any danger.
The village chief’s lady, who had been waiting anxiously at the entrance of the village, quickly came up to her and asked, “How are you doing, are there any survivors?”
"We found two people, one was seriously injured, and the other little girl was mentally stimulated." Gordon briefly explained the situation.
The village chief's lady immediately arranged for villagers and doctors to carry away the middle-aged man who was seriously injured and in shock.
When everyone got out of the car one after another, the little girl who was hugged by Feng Ying and had no reaction after teasing her all the way suddenly made a move.
She grabbed the short tail of the pork chop.
“Meow!”
Pork Chop, who was jumping off Marutori's back, lost his balance and landed on his face on the ground.
Pork Chop shook his head and climbed up, tugging on his tail but it didn't move. Just when he was about to pull harder, Gordon spoke up to stop him.
"Let her pull it first. For her, your tail may be the only light in life."
".Meow?"
Pork Chop He didn't know what the charm of his tail was, but he had no choice but to let her hold it for now.
Xianglan ran over and shook her tail in front of the girl. Unfortunately, the girl didn't respond, which made Xianglan feel aggrieved.
Obviously I am cuter.
Gordon withdrew his gaze from them, "Ms. Village Chief, we do have some findings that we need to communicate with you and Mr. Administrator.
It would be best if the Scrivener Team Mr. Scholar also called, the problem of Thunder Wolf Dragon may be more serious than we thought.”
The village chief lady nodded, found a room suitable for conversation, and asked someone to manage the guild. The scholars who stayed in Jieyun Village from the Scrivener Team called over.
Members of the two hunting groups and even Pig Chops were involved. During the previous search and rescue process, everyone had discovered something more or less.
The little girl still refused to let go of Pig Chop's tail, so Feng Ying hugged them both on her lap.
"This attack was not a survival behavior such as predation or territory invasion. I think it was a revenge killing." Gordon directly stated what he believed to be the most important discovery.
"What's the reason?"
The scholars of the Scriveners Team asked seriously: "It is very common for injured monsters to attack and retaliate against creatures that invade their territory, but this time it is obvious that Not the same.
The multiple Thunder Wolf Dragons appeared without warning. They must have invaded from a more distant place, right?
It is organized, has a clear purpose, and attacks the village from a long distance. This is the first time that a monster has been found. Why do you think this is a retaliatory attack? "
"After inspecting the scene and the body, I found that the Thunder Wolf was bitten to death and after killing the villagers, there was no trace of eating or taking away the body, so predation can basically be ruled out.
If it is to invade the territory, it is unreasonable to kill all the villagers. After all, in the eyes of monsters, humans and orcs are similar to the race group, and they belong to the category of 'little threat'.
In addition, we have been hunting frequently recently to clear out the Thunder Wolf Dragon near Jieyun Village. Just after the clearing was completed, there was an attack on the village. This time is a bit perfect. ”
What Gordon said can only be regarded as inferences and is not logically rigorous.
The scholars of the Scrivener Team subconsciously wanted to refute the logical loopholes, but suddenly came to their senses. They were not conducting a rigorous academic discussion now, and this kind of refutation was meaningless.
He rubbed the corners of his eyes and said: "Whether it is an act of revenge, I reserve my opinion, but one thing that is certain is that the social nature and IQ of Thunder Wolf Dragon are higher than we thought.
This kind of swarm attack that leaves the original territory has only appeared in two highly social creatures, one is humans and the other is ants
If the purpose of hunting is excluded, there are only humans. , an act of war."
"Aren't the wolves the same, attacking the sheepfold or something?" Ted asked doubtfully.
Anhil on the side explained helplessly, "Wolves have territories. Unless food is so scarce that they have no choice, they will not leave the territory collectively to hunt.
And The wolves attack the sheepfold for prey, and killing a few more is just incidental. Didn't Gordon just say that this time it is not a predatory act?"
Ted touched his scarred bald head. Think again.
Anhil wanted to say that you should give up thinking, but unexpectedly this guy suddenly came up with an interesting concept.
"I don't know much about that, but after listening to what you said, I suddenly felt that those guys are very similar to humans.
You just always emphasized 'leaving the territory', is it possible that in their eyes? , They didn’t leave the territory at all?”
The scholar of the Scribes team frowned, “You want to say, Thunder Wolf Dragon Clan? Like wolves, packs delimit a very large territory shared by each group?
But various sources of information confirm that their gregariousness is far less than that of wolves, which is determined by their food intake and feeding habits.
The range of activity of the individual is also very fixed, which is also proof that the individual Thunder Wolf Dragon has an independent territory.”
"Yes, that's why I said they are like human beings, just like a kingdom, with a king and lords. The lords from different places usually do their own thing and don't visit each other.
But one day the king discovered that in a certain area, Several lords were killed together, so they angrily led other lords to kill them."
The scholars of the Scribes team were stunned when they heard this.
This concept similar to "enfeoffment" has never appeared in monster ecology, but in a species like Thunder Wolf Dragon that has both "high sociality" and "strong individual strength", perhaps Surprisingly reasonable?
"The lord who came first was blue, and the king who came later was golden!" The little girl who was about to pull off the tail of the pig and became bald suddenly said this sentence.
Everyone looked at it.
Feng Ying quickly asked softly, but the little girl stopped talking again.
The girl's words were like gibbering, but everyone couldn't let go.
Since the Thunder Wolf Dragon group is highly social, it is natural to have a group leader, or king.
Like the colorful Velociraptor King Dog Dragon King.
If you think about it this way, how strong should be the leader of the Thunder Wolf Dragon Clan who can subdue him? !
"The reconnaissance must be reorganized, and we can only do it. Hunters below four stars may not even have a chance to escape when they encounter the 'Thunder Wolf Dragon King'." Anhil said immediately.
"I will take the lead in the charge!" Ted kneaded his fists and made a crackling sound.
"No."
Gordon crossed his arms and frowned, "The target's strength is unknown, and there is a high probability that there will be other Thunder Wolf Dragons accompanying him. Considering the difficulty of retreat, the scout must be strong enough. And the speed can’t be too slow.”
Ted's eyes widened, "You fucking think I'm weak?"
Gordon stared back unceremoniously, "I fucking think your legs are short!"
>Ted: "."
Hayata felt that she was quite suitable. Just as she was about to speak, the door of the house was suddenly pushed open from the outside.
The silver-haired swordsman walked in.
"Perhaps, I should recommend myself." (End of Chapter)
