Monster Hunter: This fire dragon has special characteristics

Chapter 137: Survival pressure, a prelude to relationship collapse?

The ancient tree forest periphery and the wasteland of the big ant family were originally flooded with large monsters because of the fog and miasma, and the bottom-level "food" that was originally sufficient, or even slightly excessive, began to become insufficient.

The living space between the monsters was greatly compressed, and the entire area showed a situation of more wolves and less meat. Monsters fought for territory and food every day.

In some places, because the fighting was too frequent, there was even a trend of non-interference between monsters without too many conflicts.

But with the entry of a large number of high-ecological-niche fire dragons from the ancient tree fire dragon clan, the situation suddenly became more complicated.

The fire dragon's daily hunting frequency is relatively high, and the hunting range is wide, directly covering many hunting grounds in one go.

If it is just a short-term stay, for those large monsters, they can just bear it.

But as the fire dragon stays longer, under the pressure of survival, these monsters have to list the fire dragon as a competitor.

As a result, the fights between monsters and fire dragons began to become very frequent.

Often, every fire dragon would encounter competitors when hunting, and sometimes even a multi-party melee.

This caused the fire dragons' hunting efficiency to begin to decline. Many times, even if they successfully hunted a food,

they were involved in the battle before they had time to start eating.

Relying on air superiority, they can have an absolute upper hand in the battle, but sometimes, the opponent has to forcibly tear a piece of meat from the prey even if he is injured.

Or in a multi-party melee, there is always Lao Liu who takes advantage of the fire dragon fighting and secretly takes the prey away.

Without prey, there is naturally no reason to fight. The fire dragon can only rush to a farther hunting ground to hunt, and then enter this cycle again.

After a day, they didn't catch much prey. Instead, they began to become a little weak due to the large consumption of physical strength. Over time, even the male fire dragon with a high ecological niche began to fall into a food crisis.

In fact, this alone is fine. After all, the fire dragons in the ancient tree fire dragon group are still very strong. Although the hunting process is a bit difficult, with enough strength, they can still survive by gritting their teeth.

But what is really uncomfortable is that there are nearly a hundred fire dragons in the ancient tree fire dragon group, more than forty cubs and hundreds of cats!

So many mouths, and a lot of food is consumed every day.

The prey in the area where they are now is still sufficient. In the early days, the fire dragons tried hard and could barely maintain the overall consumption.

But as time goes by, the growth rate of prey in this area will one day not catch up with the consumption rate.

In short, the increase of the ancient tree fire dragon group in this area has caused the number of predators to exceed the tolerance threshold of the area.

This is not a good phenomenon.

Although the ancient tree fire dragons are now gathered together because of the cats, once they are under long-term survival pressure, the fire dragons will begin to go to other areas alone for survival.

In other words, when that day comes, it will be the moment when the fragile racial concept of the ancient tree fire dragons will fall apart, and it will also be the moment when the new symbiotic relationship that has finally emerged will begin to break.

This matter was not discovered by Luo Yun, but a problem discovered by the wise Detel during his observations during this period.

If you ask who is most unwilling to break the symbiotic relationship, Detel is definitely more anxious than the fire dragon.

Therefore, after discovering that the relationship may break, the wise Detel and the fire dragon Detel leader convened an emergency meeting of the Detels.

Some Detel warriors also began to go out to collect various plants and vegetables and hunt small creatures, hoping to reduce the hunting pressure of the fire dragons and reduce their hunting frequency.

But it is still the same problem. There are too many Detels. They are no longer the small tribes they used to be. Doing so now is just a drop in the bucket.

Finally, there was no choice but to find Luo Yun and tell him the situation.

Compared with the anxiety of the wise man Detel, the leader of the Fire Dragon Detel was actually much calmer.

Although the number of Fire Dragon Detel is indeed much more than that of the past.

But firstly, the Fire Dragon Detel is the most unique branch of the ancient tree fire dragon clan, and they have Luo Yun and Yaji's back.

With Luo Yun and Yaji's wisdom and sense of responsibility, they will never abandon them.

Secondly, their relationship with the investigation team is closer than that of other tribes.

Under the double guarantee, at least it can be guaranteed that the Fire Dragon Detel can still remain the same in this possible crisis.

The idea of ​​the leader of the Fire Dragon Detel is not cold, or he does not regard the cats outside the Fire Dragon Detel as companions, but he has seen many times in his life that in order to survive, the tribe has to use a method similar to splitting up to ensure that more cats can survive.

After listening to the description of the leader of the Fire Dragon Detel, Luo Yun looked strange.

During this period, he and Yaji traveled back and forth between the two places every day, and did not pay much attention to the situation of other fire dragons.

Because the distance was a bit far, he and Yaji's hunting did not overlap with the fire dragons. In addition, due to their strength, they had no shortage of food and could bring back the same amount as before every day, so they did not consider how other fire dragons were doing.

If the leader of the fire dragon Deter hadn't come to tell him about this, he wouldn't have known that the ancient tree fire dragon group was actually having such a hard time now.

As the biggest beneficiary of all the current relationships, Luo Yun really didn't want to let these relationships collapse unless necessary.

But the most critical problem at present is that there are indeed only so many prey in this area. To solve this problem, either reduce the number of hunters or increase the number of prey.

But neither aspect is easy to do.

Reducing the number of hunters means hunting other monsters wantonly. Not to mention whether doing so will cause other monsters to unite against the fire dragon group, just say how many fire dragons will die in such a desperate fight.

It is still unknown how many monsters there are in this area. This behavior is no different from letting the fire dragons die.

What's more, this is just a place to live for a few years, not like the ancient tree where several generations of fire dragons breed. Paying this price is putting the cart before the horse.

As for increasing the number of prey, this is also not easy. The fire dragon's prey is mainly herbivorous dragons or crustacean herbivorous dragons, supplemented by various pterosaurs.

But whether it is herbivorous dragons or pterosaurs, they are also the main food source of other carnivorous monsters. Even if the fire dragons try to reduce the number of hunting, other monsters will not stop.

The herbivorous dragons are constantly moving and are not kept in captivity. The fire dragon can control itself, but it cannot stop other monsters.
