Chapter six hundred and ninety-six monsters spread out
Ah, grunt, grunt...
Bang, Zuo Zhou jumped onto the water with a big jump. Looking down, he saw that the rolling river water had surged up to the shore, and the willow trees on the shore fell into the water due to the collapse of the ground.
He couldn't find the Beast King. Although this beast no longer had the sanity to offer a king, his intelligence still seemed to be online.
While using giant beasts to delay, he asked ordinary monsters to dig out underground rivers and widen passages, and then used the instantaneous backflow of river water to block Zuo Zhou's pursuit.
Caught off guard, Zuo Zhou could only rush up the river, and then he found the Beast King's trace.
Of course, the most important point is that the Beast King can breathe underwater!
This is something that even the most advanced masters cannot do anything about. After all, they are humans, not fish. Recall that when Zhao Ji transformed into a monster and stormed the palace, Song Ci also found organs similar to fish gills on Zhao Ji's body.
"It's a bit troublesome!"
Just when Zuo Zhou was in a dilemma, the monsters that originally resisted the cavalry suddenly fled in all directions. They no longer bit the enemy to death as before, but instead used their bodies to knock out exits one after another, and then countless monsters
They will target these gaps and expand continuously, then scatter into the jungle and disappear.
The whole change process only took a few minutes, and even before She Taijun received the reward from the front line, the monsters were already hiding.
Zuo Zhou and the frontline report came back at almost the same time. She Taijun had also experienced hundreds of battles, and he understood one thing almost instantly. There was an incomprehensible method of long-distance communication between the Beast King and the monster.
"The Beast King can dive, escape from the ground, reproduce infinitely quickly and without harming the body, and can also fire Qi cannons through its mouth. Its aura is not fake, but judging from the strength of the Qi cannon, its strength
It’s not the best in the Earth Ranking. Well, if it’s a duel, Xiongba can hold it down. But its talents are obviously focused on energy absorption efficiency and reproduction speed. Well, maybe it also has resilience!”
Inside the commander's tent, Zuo Zhou brought all the information he knew.
Taijun She frowned and hesitated for a moment before asking: "Is it possible to evolve? Or to become stronger?"
Zuo Zhou shook his head decisively, "I can guarantee that there is absolutely no more. Of course, I am talking about the realm. The Beast King now only has animal nature and no rationality, and everything relies on instinct. In this case, it is impossible for his realm to be enhanced, but considering
If the beast king's offensive mode is supplied with enough energy, its body will become stronger and stronger until its own talent can no longer support it."
Taijun She understood what the other party meant, that is, if they didn't catch this beast king as soon as possible, they would face a body-refining beast at the level of the Earth Ranking in the future.
"How to find it?" Yue Yinping spread out the map on the side.
Yin Man continued: "The Beast King can only act on instinct now, which means he will keep eating, giving birth, and strengthening himself at the same time. Our top priority is to protect the people and evacuate!"
Yue Yinping opened his mouth but felt a little helpless. They only brought tens of thousands of people with them this time. The monsters would still escape, so there was no way to intercept and blockade the entire Gou Wu Mountains.
As for protecting people from evacuating, that is even more nonsense. The location of Gouwu Mountain is a remote but well-connected area. You can go to the Western Regions, enter Daqin, and even go to the Ming Dynasty. Of course, if they can all cross the sea
If so, you can even go to the Qing Dynasty.
How can such a population base rely on tens of thousands of people to be evacuated?
"Urgent report back to the imperial capital. We need reinforcements. I'm afraid the court will have to make a decision on how to destroy the monsters next." Taijun She was a little tired, and the situation was far beyond their control.
Di Que thought for a while and marked an X on the sea area of the map, "The Beast King can dive, but those monsters do not have the ability to survive underwater. If you want ordinary monsters to evolve that kind of organ, it will require a lot of energy and time."
Definitely a lot. It won’t be possible until the Beast King strengthens himself to the limit.”
Zuo Zhou raised his eyebrows, "I can prove this. When the Beast King escaped, all the monsters who helped him open the river drowned."
Taijun She nodded, "Now it means that rivers and oceans can become our natural barriers. Allowing the army to camp based on rivers can avoid sneak attacks by monsters."
Zuo Zhou looked at Taijun She, was he ready to fight the monster for a long time?
Taijun She asked again, "The Beast King already knows, what are the weaknesses of that monster? Now if the Beast King wants to kill him, he can only wait for the court to support more masters from the land list to kill him. Otherwise, if he can escape once, he will be able to escape the second time."
Second time.”
Zuo Zhou rolled his eyes, is it my fault?
She Taijun added: "The top priority is that our ordinary soldiers are no match for the monsters. If we cannot find the monsters' weaknesses, then we will need at least five people for each monster we deal with. In this case, we also need to protect civilians and retreat, which is too heavy a task.
If it is a street fight, then our small army will have no chance of winning. What's more, we can't even send out scouts, because the scouts can't escape, so there is no point in investigating."
Di Que shook his head in embarrassment, "These monsters don't have any obvious weaknesses. Their skin is almost bronze, their muscles are solid and tight, and their bones are very hard. Unless you are using magic weapons, ordinary weapons will not have internal energy attached to them."
It is impossible to cause harm to them."
Everyone's expressions turned ugly as soon as these words came out. Those monsters were as big as elephants, and each of them had super strong attack power and desire to attack. If there was no weakness that they could defeat, we couldn't keep sending troops everywhere to put out fires.
"Is it possible to kill the beast king with bait? For example, poisoning their food!"
A general suggested that this seemed like a good idea, but it was a pity that Dique rejected it, "It's useless. I can guarantee that this method can make the Beast King eat poison, but it will not kill him. Because there are two ways of eating for the Beast King,
One is to eat by itself, and the other is to be fed by monsters. When there are monsters around, it will never eat by itself. The monsters themselves also need to absorb some nutrients from the food, which means that these monsters will become a
There is a layer of filtration system. All poisons will be blocked by this layer of filtration system and cannot reach the Beast King at all. What’s more... what kind of poison can poison a monster at the Earth Ranking level?"
These words made the proposed general a little embarrassed. The method was a method. Although it could be successful in theory, it was not necessary to implement it in reality.
"Report!"
Just when everyone looked sad, someone outside announced loudly.
She Taijun took the scroll and followed Tie Qing. A nearby town had been attacked by monsters. Fortunately, there were only three monsters that attacked. They had been eliminated by the young people in the village. However, because no one had destroyed the monsters
The villagers and towns paid the price of twenty-five lives. It is difficult to estimate the remaining casualties, both minor and serious, and it is even more difficult to estimate the damage to the houses.
"These should be the monsters that ran out."
"This is even scarier. These monsters are hunting separately in twos and threes. It's impossible for us to follow them. That would be giving up our advantage."
This is a very real problem. If a group of monsters encounters a regular army, then the human side will definitely win when the two sides charge. But if they are scattered and entangled, the strength of the individual monsters will prevail.
"So, unless we give up some people and then concentrate our efforts to move the rest..."
"..."
…
Xinying was very fast and had already sent the news back to the court almost on the third day.
At this time, all the ministers of the court gathered in the main hall. In the past, this was the place where Hu Hai went to court. Now Fusu moved a table in front of the dragon chair, which was regarded as the supervisor's position.
Although Fusu has no status now, no one would be foolish enough to get into trouble at this time.
"What do you think it should be?"
"The monster is located close to the Western Region. That is the garrison area of General Wang Jian. The garrison can be mobilized to help evacuate the people."
"But the Western Region is vast and covered with deserts, neighbors and other terrains. The people's settlements are also relatively scattered, making it difficult to evacuate!"
"What's more important is that our education in the Western Regions has just been on the right track for a few years. Many people are afraid that the imperial court may not stop moving away from their hometowns and are concentrated in big cities."
"And how should the people be resettled after they are gathered together?"
"There are too many various problems. If we want to cure the root cause, we still need to solve the Beast King."
"What if we could build a huge protective wall to defend the controllable area?"
"It's useless. Didn't you read what the intelligence said? These monsters can escape underground. It's very troublesome for us to control the underground every day. Building a defensive wall is just thankless."
"These monsters have also been wreaking havoc in the imperial capital. They are really difficult to deal with. I think we should first..."
There are some words that the ministers did not say clearly, but everyone understands their meaning to some extent. They all know that treating the symptoms without treating the root cause is of no use, but there is no way to cure the root cause, so we can only choose to treat the symptoms. But... the number of troops is not enough, and some of the people have to be given up.
Who can say it?
"Okay, my lords, please go back and think about this matter. We will decide on this matter tomorrow morning. Let's go back now."
After the ministers bowed and left, Fusu suddenly smiled bitterly while sitting on the chair, "There is no free pie in the world. It seems that this cause and effect still fell on me."
"I have long said that the kind of pill that can improve strength without side effects is definitely not simple."
Bai Qi's figure appeared behind him in a flash, and Fusu didn't look back, "Do you have any suggestions?"
Bai Qi thought for a while, "How about you take Gongshu Qiu with you? I think the machine beast seems to be very useful against monsters."
Fusu rolled his eyes at him angrily, "How can I have time to build a government tower for Gongshu Qiu!"
