Wigginton cheered up.
Although he had not worked with Ning Fan for a long time, he was very optimistic about this guy.
Calm, ruthless, and sober.
He has a more multifaceted perspective on things and is more flexible than those old guys who have been in high positions for many years.
So at this moment, he was really curious about what Ning Fan's other reasons were.
"So far, most of the beasts we've seen... or the beasts we've actually fought against, are in the first tier."
Ning Fan had no intention of keeping the secret. "During this period, there were indeed some Tier 2 exotic beasts that appeared, but not in large numbers."
"Of course, there were also some Tier 3 monsters mixed in with the monsters' attacks, but their numbers were so small that they could be ignored."
"We've analyzed this before. These alien beasts will primarily conduct probing attacks. They'll first use a small number of low-level alien beasts to gauge our strength. After gaining a certain amount of information, they'll deploy additional 'troops' on top of their existing base. And if they fail again, they'll analyze the reasons for their failure and dispatch a more targeted force that's better suited to fighting us."
Several people nodded subconsciously.
They had already reached conclusions about these characteristics during their previous combat discussions.
"So what I mean is that during this probing process, it might be that we displayed certain 'characteristics' that made them feel that we posed a greater threat to them, so they began to deploy defenses."
"In the minds of alien beasts, they are stronger than us, so they will come to prey on us. So, is it possible that when they think we are stronger, they will think that we will be like them... and treat them as prey?"
Hearing this, Guan Shanyue's eyes lit up.
It's not impossible.
Even if the strange beasts have commanders, in the final analysis, they still think about problems with an extremely primitive way of thinking.
Whoever is stronger will stand higher in the food chain.
Before this way of thinking, the strange beasts thought it was normal for humans to hunt them.
And if they have this idea, it must be as Ning Fan said, that they are aware of the threat posed by humans.
"Then how did the strange beasts realize that we are stronger than them?"
Wigginton narrowed his eyes and expressed his opinion: "Based on my understanding of alien beasts, they have a unique characteristic of animals, which is the ability to judge human emotions. When humans are afraid of alien beasts, they can sense it."
Such is the nature of predators.
Many exotic beasts, when facing humans, can clearly sense the fear in the other's hearts.
In this case, the strange beast may even choose not to kill its prey immediately, but to play with it.
They enjoy inflicting fear on their enemies.
This will make their hunting process more enjoyable.
And everyone understood what Wigginton meant.
During this period of fighting, although humans finally defended the buffer zone, the fear they showed towards them was very obvious.
It is impossible for the strange beast not to discover it.
In this case, Ning Fan's speculation is unreasonable.
Why do strange beasts have to be wary of their prey?
Ning Fan seemed to have anticipated that everyone would have such questions.
His gaze turned to the side and finally fell on a person.
Malgado.
The eyes of the others also fell on him along with Ning Fan.
Malgado was bewildered.
I was listening attentively to the lecture, so how come Commander Ning suddenly targeted me?
"I?"
Malgado raised his finger and pointed at his nose.
This time, Withers reacted quickly.
"You mean, because of Malgado's attack?"
That's right.
At that time, after obtaining Withers' consent, Malgado walked out of the buffer zone and launched a devastating attack on those strange beasts with the strength of the [Thousand Souls Level].
Let me put it this way, if you were standing in the perspective of the monster at that time, you would be able to feel the despair.
No matter how ferocious the strange beasts are, they are nothing more than a larger number of [single soul level] or [ten soul level].
In front of a Thousand Souls-level master like Malgado, a beast of this level is no different from an ordinary livestock.
So, Malgado had a great time in that battle, but on the other hand...
The strange beasts were also scared!
"I think so."
Ning Fan nodded. "That was the time when the alien beasts realized that we had humans who could crush them."
The conference room fell into silence.
If Ning Fan's statement is true, it can explain the reason why the strange beasts are cautious towards humans.
But the problem is...
"The alien beasts also have a fourth gear!"
Sayev frowned and asked, "And didn't you say before that a Level 4 beast is equivalent to the combat power of our [Thousand Souls]?"
"Have you seen it?"
Ning Fan asked back.
Sayev was startled, then shook his head. "I certainly haven't seen it, but didn't you say before that the information Qianhun Ye Liang gave you mentioned this matter?"
In fact, it’s not just Ye Liang.
Ning Fan had heard from many sources that exotic beasts were indeed divided into five levels.
Even Lu Yiming can confirm this.
Therefore, the fourth-level monster must exist, and it has indeed attacked the [Top Wall] before.
but……
Ning Fan looked at Lu Yiming.
"Uncle Lu, I remember you said before that those Level 5 beasts, for some reason, can't leave their own 'territory', right?"
Lu Yiming nodded.
This news must be accurate.
A fifth-tier beast is equivalent to a human at the [Ten Thousand Souls Level].
And according to Lu Yiming, there is more than one exotic beast of this level.
If they could move freely, the [Top Wall] would have been breached long ago, and what they are doing now would become meaningless.
After all, no one can withstand the power of the [Ten Thousand Souls Level].
"We definitely don't have a definitive answer as to why they can't leave."
Ning Fan continued, "But through this incident, can we make a bolder guess?"
Many of the speculations Ning Fan made at this time were already very bold.
No one present could really imagine what the "bolder" guess would be.
"The distance that each level of beast can move... is limited."
Ning Fan directly stated the result!
After a moment's pause, everyone understood what he meant.
"We are very far from the [ceiling wall]."
Ning Fan's eyes narrowed. "A Level 4 beast can attack the [Top Wall], but it may not be able to reach the Forbidden Wall!"
