Qian Xiao ran for a ridiculously long time to get the biological and chemical weapons. He didn't slowly return to Qiu Yu until the island was so big that it occupied most of the field of vision in front of him.
Although the patrol boat in front had not found any reefs or dangerous animals, Su Hao ordered the boat to stop when it was nearly one kilometer away from the island, and first used small boats to transport several third-level game participants to the island. , and only after confirming that there was no attack, began to let a large number of people land on the island.
Judging by visual inspection, this island is at least over one hundred square kilometers, and the plants are quite dense. If you want to find a few people in a short time, you need to invest enough manpower.
On the other hand, Su Hao has already investigated the Nine-Tails. He is the number one killer in the world and has excellent survival and fighting abilities in the wild. If he asks for help, it only means that he is in trouble and it should not be fatal. crisis. But now the fleet has arrived at the edge of the island, and so much smoke has been released just now to drive away the giant birds. It is absolutely impossible to lose sight of them as long as they are on this island.
But not coming after seeing it only shows that Kyuubi's troubles cannot be easily escaped. Although Su Hao didn't want to cause trouble, since he was already here, he couldn't hesitate and must use his greatest strength to solve the problem as quickly as possible.
Ship after ship of people were constantly transported to the island, and the final number reached more than 2,000 people. If these two thousand people had not already taken up 90% of the ammunition, considering how many people there were, If there is no ammunition, it will be basically useless. Maybe the number of people who stay on the ship and the number of people who come to the island will be exchanged.
When facing sea monsters, many people are useless because they have no experience in dealing with them. But once they get to the down-to-earth island, their ability to survive in this era is quickly revealed.
The first people to arrive on the island immediately began to build defense points using local materials. Some of them come from the same organization, so the division of labor is even clearer. Those who explore paths, those who are vigilant, and those who make traps all perform their duties, so Su Hao and his men don't have to worry about them at all.
Qiu Yu took a boat to the island with Qian Xiao, Su Hao, and Ordoño when thousands of people arrived on the island. The time difference with the first group of people is only more than half an hour. But in just half an hour, the landing point had become a simple fortress. Although Qiu Yu didn't think this fortress would be effective against those perverted monsters, at least it felt psychologically safe.
"We haven't even seen the landing bay yet. We have already lost 5 ships and 421 people, so we cannot continue to consume them. Even if we rescue people on the island, we must preserve our strength."
While waiting for more people to arrive, Su Hao first expressed his attitude to Qiu Yu.
"Then what should we do?" Qian Xiao said with a wrinkled face, "Even if thousands of people are thrown directly into this dense forest, it won't have much effect. If we also have to consider preventing monster attacks, it will probably take a long time." It’s been too long, I don’t know if our rescue will still be useful.”
Ordoño also said, "The more important problem is that Kyuubi and Qingqiu are both people with legal abilities. If they both need rescue, the people here are too separated, and they will most likely die."
Qiu Yu chuckled, "No, in fact, what they can't deal with is that we find their best marking items and head directly to the center of the island."
"If you are the commander-in-chief, as long as you give an order, I will execute it before asking why, but now..." Su Hao looked at Qiu Yu, "I can't let so many people go just based on your whim. adventure."
"The center of this island is high and the surrounding areas are low. This should be the case for ordinary islands, but if you consider that the closer you are to the center, the less affected you will be by tides and marine animals, then the central position should be the first land creature to land. The best place for development. The strange birds that attacked us had no soil on their paws, indicating that they lived in trees. When they escaped just now, I also paid special attention to them. They did fly back to the center of the island. Location……"
"Wait a minute, trees that allow birds over ten meters long to live in! Don't you mean..." Su Hao was a little surprised and looked at the front covered by layers of plants. "The reason why the middle part of this island is high, apart from the normal In addition to geographical reasons, it’s also because the creatures there are bigger toward the center, right?”
Qiu Yu nodded, "That's probably it."
"But this is wrong. Haven't we encountered many animals from other planets before? And in that small town, both animals and plants are of normal size."
"That's because the creatures on the earth are relatively small. If they are directly put down, they will be tens of meters in size. Just the food for them to grow will be a problem. Therefore, the first step to invade the ground is to use small creatures first. Lay a good foundation, and then you can find normal-sized creatures on the other planet. And this island in the sea, after decades of slow changes, is enough to support those large-sized creatures."
"Master, what are you talking about? What is a creature that is tens of meters long and of normal size?" Qian Xiao asked confusedly.
"This is a normal biological situation. On Earth, the largest ones in the ocean are whales. They can grow to tens of meters long because the ocean can support them. But on the ground, because there are not enough food resources in the ocean, are so abundant, so the largest animal is only as big as an elephant... Oh, don't mention the dinosaurs. In the age of dinosaurs, the entire earth was covered with plants, and food was not a problem. Herbivorous dinosaurs had no effective defense means, so they relied on With enough food, they kept growing bigger. And because the herbivorous dinosaurs were big enough, the carnivorous dinosaurs developed two directions in order to hunt, one was to hunt in groups, and the other was to grow very tall themselves." Qiu Yu asked Qian Xiao digested it for a moment before continuing, "To put it simply, how big a creature can grow depends on its living environment, the most important of which is food. The strange bird we just saw obviously cannot eat grass. . And the bigger they are, the greater the consumption. If they are allowed to hunt rabbits, I am afraid that the energy brought by eating a rabbit will not be consumed as much as catching a rabbit. The final result can only be that when catching a rabbit, He will starve to death. Therefore, if you want to raise a bird that is tens of meters in size, you must first have animals that are several meters or more than ten meters in size. And the biological pyramid cannot be supported by one or two species, so the big bird The appearance is associated with at least several, or even dozens, of huge creatures.”
Qian Xiao held his head and shouted, "Those birds can catch fish, such as sharks, which can barely feed them."
Qiu Yu shook his head, "Birds that prey on fish usually live by the seaside, and those strange birds come out from the center of the island. This alone can almost prove that they don't eat fish, at least they don't eat fish." Staple food. Moreover, sharks are creatures on earth, and those birds are from alien planets. They appear because of their original food chain, rather than being established after arriving on earth. In addition, are we not already in the sea? Have you seen many ridiculously large creatures in there? It stands to reason that the larger the animal, the higher the status in the food chain should be, and the so-called high-end refers to the rare number. These we see in the sea Large animals are not rare at all. If you add the sea monster with a body measured in kilometers...its size is completely meaningless except for a waste of energy, unless the size standard on that planet itself is very large, for To survive, it must grow that big.”
Qian Xiao patted his head as if suddenly enlightened, "So, our opponent this time is the Giant Star."
Qiu Yu pondered slightly, "This statement may not be accurate, but the meaning is correct."
"Then can you deduce what kind of trouble Kyuubi and the others are encountering?" Odonio has gradually adapted to Akiyu's amazing reasoning ability, and naturally thinks that he should give more information, and Akiyu does He was not disappointed.
"When Kyuubi asked us for help, his tone didn't sound like he was about to die, especially since Qingqiu was by his side. If the situation was too dangerous, he wouldn't be able to calm down. So this tone also shows that Although the situation is troublesome, they are confident that we can survive until we rescue them. The most suitable situation for this situation is that they are trapped. In addition, Kyuubi is not an unorganized person. If we go to rescue them, there will be danger, he They will explain the situation first, or at least give some brief tips to facilitate our actions. If we don't do this, either it will be so dangerous that we won't dare to rescue them once the situation is explained, or the situation will be too difficult for those of us who are doing the rescue. It's not too dangerous to say. And considering that Qingqiu is by his side and he can't pretend to be calm, it's probably the latter." Qiu Yu habitually gave a few people time buffer before making a conclusion, " The fact that they did not run over after the boat arrived either means that they were in a place where they could not see the boat, or that they could not come even if they saw it. There is only one explanation for both cases, that is, they are in the center of the island As for the reason for being in the center, the most likely reason is to avoid some kind of animal or event that is too big to contend with manpower - the terrain at the seaside is monotonous and the plants are too small, so it is impossible to find a safe enough hiding spot. Just like ants trying to avoid being chased by humans, they are safer in a pile of rocks than on the beach."
After experiencing the huge sea monster that made everyone completely powerless, Qian Xiao was already a little afraid of large creatures. Now after hearing the metaphor between Qiu Yu ants and human beings, he kept wiping the sweat from his forehead and said, "Uh... You are worthy of being a master. It seems that you have thought of everything. Even if I don't follow you, you will not encounter any danger. Then you can set off quickly. I am here waiting for your victorious return."
