Chapter 370 How Much Can We Consume?

Si Shuo stood up, his hair standing on end. "That is to say, if the beast tide occurs, its scale will be even larger than the one we encountered in Puchang City?"

Ji Liang nodded, "The scale of the forest outside Puchang City is very small. The southwestern forest is endless and sparsely populated. There are not many orc tribes in that area, and there is not much consumption in normal times. Therefore, the hunting tasks shared by each beast city every year are very heavy, which is already the critical point to prevent the beast tide from erupting.

Orcs' laziness doesn't happen overnight. They complete fewer tasks every year. It won't show up in one or two years, but after five, ten, or even hundreds of years, it will start to show abnormalities."

He acquired a lot of information during his several business trips.

Gong You frowned slightly, "In other words, this surge in the number of wild beasts is very likely a sign of the coming of the beast tide?"

"Well, about 60 to 70 percent chance," Wei Ze participated in the hunt last autumn. That was when the number of wild beasts was at its highest point of the year, so it was not easy for them to find abnormalities, but the fighting power of the wild beasts was higher than in previous years. "The last time a beast tide occurred was more than 500 years ago. At that time, the beast tide almost flattened all the beast cities in the Central Continent.

They came with great force and everyone fought hard at the beginning. But after the city fell, everyone lost their fighting spirit and could only flee south and east with the little female and the cubs.

But there are many ferocious beasts gathered in the beast tide. If we don’t destroy them, we, the beastmen, will be the only ones to be destroyed.

And once the beast tide spreads to the seaside or the Dongye Forest, the beast tide will devour the beasts in the sea and the beasts in the Dongye Forest and become their own power.

There was no way to escape, and many older orcs, in order to protect their females and cubs, rushed into the beast tide and blew themselves up. The other males also fought hard, and only after suffering heavy casualties did they repel the beast tide.

The lesson from that time was so profound that everyone has always followed the rules for spring and autumn hunting every year..."

Although he only said a few words, Si Shuo and his party, who had experienced the beast tide in Puchang City, could fully imagine the tragic and tragic scene! "What if we consume them in advance?" Si Shuo asked, pursing his lips. "I think everyone is too comfortable now. For five hundred years, there have only been medium-sized beast tides at most. For well-trained beast soldiers, it is easy to repel them. This has also led to everyone being a little blindly confident. Even if many people have such speculations, I think those people in the City Lord's Mansion will not believe it.

To be precise, they probably don’t want to believe that their luck is so bad that the beast tide didn’t happen for 500 years, but broke out within the 100 or 200 years they were alive…”

Xiao Cheng pursed his lips tightly, "Sister, you have never been to the Southwest Forest, so you don't know how big it is. Every year, those who participate in the spring hunt are not only nearly one-third of the beast soldiers and males in our Guangshou City, but also beastmen from other beast cities, and there are a lot of them. How many people are there in our family? Even if Brother Gongyou activates the law of time, how much can we consume if we kill non-stop for a year?"

When mentioning this, Si Shuo's lips curled up slightly.

Gong You took out a crossbow powered by crystals and waved it in front of him. "Not only have we activated the law of time, but we can also kill them one at a time. This is much easier than our usual fights."

The scale of the beast tide in Puchang City was not small at that time, and time was tight, so they set up many traps and, together with the orcs, harvested the beasts and saved the city.

The cubs looked at the beautiful and compact crossbow with bright eyes. They turned to look at Si Shuo: "Mom, we can help too!"

They are not ordinary human children, but orc cubs. They have strong physique and are stronger than ordinary adults. They also have special powers and their bodies are greatly strengthened.

Wei Ce pinched his chin and thought for a while: "We are invisible and can quietly approach the beasts and attack the cubs. This is equivalent to curbing the size of the beast group to a certain extent..."

"There are also high-level ferocious beasts. Once a beast tide breaks out, the influence of high-level ferocious beasts is huge..." Zhi Le added.

Although their family's strength was small, they could consume as much as they could. Now the beast tide had just begun to emerge. As long as they consumed the high-level beasts and the rampant cubs, they could contain the beast tide.

At least, even if a large number of beasts gather, they will no longer be a threat to the orcs...

Si Shuo was suddenly stunned, and an idea came to her mind. She lowered her eyes slightly and called the system. As she stayed in the Beast World Continent for a long time, her dependence on the system was very small.

So much so that when the system came online, there was a crackling sound of electricity that had not been used for a long time: Host, hello, Peanut System is at your service.

Si Shuo asked: "System, we suspect that there are too many ferocious beasts in the southwest forest, which may induce a group of wild beasts. Can you provide relevant detection data analysis?"

The system was silent for a moment, then a string of data popped up. "This is the total number of wild beasts in the southwest forest in the past ten years, the comparison of the number of cubs born at the same time, and the proportion of the beastmen consumed during the spring hunt..."

Si Shuo looked at these data and found that the changes were not that big, but if we analyze them vertically over the past ten years, we can see that the gap has been steadily widening, and in just ten years, the change has reached 5%. This is just ten years, and if we look at it from five hundred years, this trend is even greater! It seems that their guess is correct, and the beast tide is likely to break out in the next few years.

"System, can you make the Southwest Forest into a dungeon mode where you can level up, kill monsters and get equipment?"

The system is a bit stuck, and this question is beyond the range of its automatic response, so it will report the unrecognizable questions upward.

Si Shuo smiled and counted on his fingers, saying: "Look, the dungeon mode can focus on locking up the beasts. The dungeon difficulty has three levels: easy, medium and hard. It allows the orcs to hone their combat power and participate in the beast tide together.

Think about it, if we avoid a beast tide, the number of beastmen won't be too much reduced. Aren't their ability to give birth to cubs much greater than mine? Even if the cubs' qualifications are not top-notch, or even below average, there are too many of them... And who can guarantee that they won't have opportunities in the future, or that their offspring won't mutate into excellent ones?"

The reason was so sufficient that the system acted as a microphone and relayed her words verbatim.

Soon the system responded: Host, doing so will interfere with the historical process of the Beast World Continent and easily cause time and space turmoil. We invited you here because we cannot participate too much in the Beast World Continent.

Si Shuo chuckled, "Regarding the whole matter of the portal and the isolation of the battlefield, are you still making excuses? From the moment you summoned me and the system accompanied me, history has gone astray!"

After another period of silence, the system said: Host, we suggest that you upgrade your beast husband ability.
