"Stable."

The two mysterious turtles looked like wooden piles, passively withstanding the bombardment of thunder.

But Meng Zhou had already seen that they seemed to be passively enduring without any change, but in fact, there were powerful yet subtle changes in power from the moment the thunder and lightning touched the turtle's back.

Meng Zhou has basically judged that based on the current scale of the calamity cloud, it will only make two Xuanling turtles "embarrassed" at most.

Their success is unstoppable and a certainty.

"If I had known this, I should have given them more help."

Meng Zhou thought this in his heart.

In the spirit gourd space, before the breakthrough of Gui Da and Gui Er this time, the various spiritual marrow reserves were as follows:

White Lotus Spirit Essence: 371 drops;

Third-level low-grade Qinglian sword marrow: 443 drops;

Third-level mid-grade Qinglian Sword Marrow: 424 drops.

Now, after this consumption, there are still 71 drops of White Lotus Spiritual Essence, and there are still 413 drops of the third-level low-grade Green Lotus Sword Essence.

At this moment, Meng Zhou's heart moved and he looked in a certain direction in the sky.

"Another fish has taken the bait."

Naturally, Meng Zhou had no intention of letting go of such a "big fish" that came to his door.

He headed towards the direction where the "big fish" was coming and took the initiative to greet it.

When the calamity clouds covering Gui Da and Gui Er split the last thunder and lightning, which could no longer be sustained, and slowly dissipated in the void, Meng Zhou's spirit gourd space had once again contained seven third-level bodies.

The corpse of the great demon.

Through the transparent moon mirror, Meng Zhou clearly "saw" that there were many third-order monsters lurking. He was not greedy, but after feeling the strange atmosphere again, Meng Zhou wisely chose to stop.

It was a very mysterious feeling, as if the entire Tianqi Mountain had once again become an ever-tightening string.

This feeling is very wonderful, but if all the monsters within a radius of 500 miles are brought into view through the transparent moon mirror, the "wonderful feeling" will be even more intuitive.

All monsters are becoming more and more restless.

Wildness, animality, and ferocity are gradually covering up and submerging their little intelligence.

Meng Zhou knew that if he did not choose to stop, but continued to hunt down the eighth level three demon and put it into his spiritual gourd space.

The string that is stretched to the limit will break, and all the monsters in sight will turn into complete "chaos".

"Is this the core cause of the beast tide?"

At this moment, Meng Zhou had already embarked on his return journey.

The green wolf turned into a gust of wind, and Meng Zhou, Bai Zhi, and Gui Da and Gui Er, who were all in tatters and with cracks everywhere, stayed quietly in the space of the wolf's belly.

The big turtle and the quiet turtle are because they are working hard to recover.

They had successfully gone through the calamity and completed the second to third-level transformation, but their condition at the moment was not good. Naturally, they had no intention of distracting him.

Bai Zhi's quietness is trying hard to digest this harvest and accumulate resources for her own breakthrough.

Meng Zhou was quiet, but he was thinking about something.

In the traditional concept of the spiritual world, the occurrence of beast tides can basically be attributed to two reasons.

One of the more common reasons is that there are too many monsters in the evil veins, or the number of monsters exceeds the upper limit of the evil veins.

So, there was a tide of beasts.

Most of the beast tides that occur in Qingxuan Territory are due to this reason.

The beast tide is a manifestation of the evil pulse releasing "pressure" from time to time.

In order to avoid the formation of this kind of beast tide, practitioners are organized to carry out large-scale and planned hunting and eradication of the evil beasts in the evil veins.

Artificially controlling the number of monsters is a very necessary and effective solution.

The other is relatively rare, that is, when practitioners carry out large-scale and organized extermination of monsters in a certain area, the emotion of fear and despair is so strong that some kind of qualitative change occurs.

It spreads through the connection at the bloodline level, thus triggering all the monster beasts to make the most intense and crazy counterattack.

At this time, all the monsters seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood and transformed into madness.

Each and every one of them has become fearless of death. Even if they know that there is a cliff ahead of them, they will jump down without hesitation.

Even if they know that there is a strong person in front of them that they cannot deal with at all, they will rush forward like moths to the flame.

At this time, the most basic "survival" instinct of life seems to have completely disappeared.

This situation is very rare, and it is also the most feared by the spiritual community.

Among them, the most famous one occurred more than fifty years ago.

That beast wave directly caused Qingxuan Sect to adjust its strategic direction.

Qingxuan Sect, who originally wanted to develop more spiritual veins in the outer ring area, chose to terminate this plan, run Qinglinfang, and continue to practice basic skills.

At this moment, Meng Zhou recalled these in his mind, coupled with the gains from his two personal experiences and some concepts from his previous life, some understandings that were unique to him arose in Meng Zhou's mind.

In the traditional concepts of practitioners, monsters with ignorant and low intelligence almost represent killing and chaos.

Meng Zhou didn't see it that way. If he only saw different monster beasts in his eyes, that might be the case.

But if you expand your field of view, for example, you can view all the monsters in the third-level evil Tianqi Mountain as a whole.

Then, after careful observation, you can find that behind the chaotic appearance of countless individual monsters killing each other, there is an extremely stable order that is not inferior to the practice world.

Individual monster beasts may continue to die, monster beasts will continue to be hunted and killed, becoming food for other monster beasts, and new monster beasts will continue to be born.

But from a macro perspective, the group of monsters in Tianqi Mountain is very stable.

After thinking of these, Meng Zhou naturally thought of some words.

Ecosystem, food chain, ecological niche...

"All the monsters in Tianqi Mountain also form a complete ecosystem."

"In this ecosystem, all monsters have their own place."

"This position is not fixed, but is in a state of change all the time.

Monsters are constantly dying and monsters are being born, and the ecological niche is changing and updating in real time, but the entire ecosystem is stable."

"Perhaps, this ecosystem that exists in the evil veins and consists of a large number of monsters has some kind of strange 'spirituality' in itself.

Once there are too 'abnormal' changes, such as the death of a large number of first- and second-order monsters in a short period of time, or the death of a large number of third-order monsters in a short period of time... the ecological niche will be filled with a large number of vacancies in a short period of time.

From a macro perspective, it covers the ecosystem of all monsters in the region, so it changes from 'balanced' to 'imbalanced'."

"Ecosystems are capable of self-stabilization and self-regulation."

"It will transmit the signal of this imbalance to all monsters in all ecosystems, and use the power of these monsters to adjust this 'imbalance' and restore it to 'balance' again."

"It is precisely for this reason that I can no longer hunt the third-order monsters in Tianqi Mountain on a large scale in a short period of time."

"Because this will quickly lead to an imbalance in the entire ecosystem throughout the Tianqi Mountains, requiring regulatory intervention."

"But on the other hand, as long as I pay attention to control, I can control this 'imbalance' within the critical range.

Then, the self-regulation and stability of the ecosystem will appear in another form."

…

"Let all the monsters in the area stabilize and adjust themselves in the most decisive and violent way, just like the Seven Injury Fist. It is a last resort method that can injure the enemy a thousand times and damage yourself eight hundred.

Therefore, as long as this critical point is not passed, the ecosystem will not forcefully solve the problem in this way."

"As long as it is not excessive, it will also tend to resolve this imbalance in a slow and gentle way."

"In other words, as long as I control my intensity, cut it day by day, and accumulate it over time, I can continue to reduce the size and number of monster beasts in the area without triggering an intense crisis in the ecosystem due to overly drastic actions.

Bounce.”
