Do you believe me when I say I’m not a dragon?

"The natural disaster is in the center, and I don't know the details. As for the forest, we have obtained all the information about the endless sea of ​​trees in the floating island, but for the sea of ​​trees itself, we have only confirmed a part of it. ." Hai Xin took out the hunter's note from her pocket and handed it to her as if she was prepared.

After looking through it for a few times, Kulu nodded with satisfaction: "Having this information is enough - then, what are you going to do?"

"First land the spacecraft in a safe enough place, and then send some people to leave here and go to the center of the sea of ​​trees. We need to find the location of the Serpentisaurus, and then leave here to complete the mission after collecting the materials. It's that simple."

"But it's not easy to do."

"That's true." Hai Xin gradually frowned: "Last time, the old captain told us that there were hunters who were robbing supplies in the direction we came here. Although we didn't meet them, there are others who we can't let down our guard against. That's the one The spaceships that will be traveling with us have been with us for a long time, and I plan to take this opportunity to say goodbye to them, whether they want it or not."

"In other words, someone needs to be guarding this place, right?"

"Yeah, but it's enough. We don't need too many people to collect materials. The rest of us will stay here."

"Well."

——After briefly arranging the plan, Kulu and Hai Xin separated and made preparations respectively.

......

"Huh...huh..."

At the same time, on another spaceship, the hunter who was infected as a black man gasped and held a pen, writing words one by one:

"...After we came to this forest, we had a feeling of being targeted. This is by no means an illusion. It is the same for all black people, so we decided to temporarily stop the action. Please forgive us for our indifference... ..."

Then, a flying bird left the spacecraft and disappeared into the night.

Chapter 332: God’s Rules

......

After the spacecraft found a safer place to dock, everyone rested for a day. Early the next morning, they came under the spacecraft and started gathering.

"Beasts will divide areas among themselves and judge outsiders based on their smell, so we need to make some disguises to hide them."

Before leaving, Kulu took out a small bucket and placed it in front of everyone who came to participate in the mission.

The bucket contained mixed fruit puree, but they couldn't tell if they looked more detailed.

Some of the fruit puree has gone bad and gives off a pungent smell.

"I have selected these fruits, which are enough to hide them from the beasts' noses, but that doesn't mean they can ignore you. It's best to slowly step back and get out of the beast's sight."

Kulu said so, and everyone scooped up the puree without hesitation and smeared it all over their bodies.

They are all experienced hunters, and they feel no discomfort when feeling the sticky and pungent smell all over their bodies. Among them, there are also many hunters who smear their bodies with the excrement of wild beasts for the mission, and they are not repulsed by it either mentally or physically.

But compared to everyone else, Kulu, who was standing in front of them, just put a little puree on her cloak and did it perfunctorily. She also washed her hands in disgust and shook off the sticky feeling in her hands.

"My words... my body is different from yours, don't worry about me." Facing the attention of everyone, Ku Lu looked calm.

She did not lie. As forest people who have lived in the forest for hundreds of generations, they have already adapted to the forest environment. Their body odor will not alert the beasts that smell it. At least it is much more effective than these purees. .

More importantly, as a Mori being, in addition to her keen ears, she also has keen skin to feel the temperature changes and air flow around her. If these are covered by fruit puree, not to mention that Kulu's strength will be greatly reduced. To exaggerate, she might even go crazy because of it.

"Since everything is ready, let's go."

Hai Xin looked at everyone and said.

They didn't have many opinions themselves, they were just worried that Kulu would drag them down because of this, but since she had promised so, everyone naturally left the spacecraft and walked into the depths of the endless sea of ​​trees.

Among these crowds, Kulu walked at the forefront, followed by Hai Xin. Everyone looked around with vigilance.

"The life of the creatures here is very strong, and...the creatures here seem to be avoiding something."

——After observing for a while, Kulu whispered.

"Is it because of a natural disaster?" Hai Xin followed her and looked around.

"Ah."

Kulu squatted down, observed the dry and hard feces in front of him, and smashed it into pieces with a piece of wood: "Combined with the palm print just now, it is definitely a baby of the silver-maned beast. This ape-like creature eats trees as food, and also There are broken tree trunks as a form of expressing strength during conflicts among ethnic groups. But there are no broken tree trunks around, only a few traces of gnawing."

"This means that the silver-maned beast is avoiding breaking the trees?" Hai Xin thought thoughtfully after hearing this.

"I think that's right." Kulu frowned and looked around: "I think this forest should have a 'rule' - the creatures living here can kill plants for survival reasons, but they can do so at will. Damaging plants is not allowed."

Kulu's tone was determined. She came to this conclusion after confirming it many times. The same was true for other biological territories that she passed before. Considering the ability of Mao Shelong, this is indeed the case.

"In other words, Mao Shelong can feel the surrounding trees? It's like... plants have become its senses?" Hai Xin asked incredulously.

If this is the case, it means that their next actions must be more cautious - of course, the premise is that the Mao Shelong will care about these little humans.

"This is the only way to explain it."

Kulu stood up and walked forward.

"But then again, the food here is simply too rich, but it is kept to a moderate extent." Kulu raised his head and looked at the fruits above his head. The red fruits were scattered around. You must know that in his original home Here, these are rare delicacies.

But if too much of this fruit accumulates, it will fall to the ground and turn into rotten pulp, which will then pile up layer by layer to form a foul-smelling quagmire.

But it maintains this balance very well. Even if some fruits occasionally fall to the ground, they will not fall too much and remain at a level that can be absorbed by the land.

The longer he stayed here, the more Kulu felt that this place was full of traces of the Serpentine.It is like a god here, every corner is full of its gifts, and every living being lives according to the rules it sets.

"This is really incredible." Hai Xin let out a sigh, and everyone continued to go deeper.

——But after a while, Kulu suddenly discovered a trace that could not be ignored.

"This is!"

She walked forward quickly and came to a relatively spacious open space.

There was a small mound of earth, which when dug up revealed the remains of bones and ashes.

"It's a sign of humanity."

"What..." Something unexpected happened in front of everyone. Hai Xin looked surprised, but he still came to her side to observe these traces.

"This method... the other party is also a hunter. Judging from the bones, this should have been left a week ago." After a while, she came to a conclusion.

"But if you are here to collect supplies, just one week is not enough, not to mention that the life here is very active. The real situation is that it may be five days or four days ago." In this regard, Ku Lu had other ideas.

"...You are right, but now we can only hope that they will not have any impact on our behavior."

Looking at the traces in front of him, Hai Xin took a deep breath and looked around again.

No trace of departure was found...Is it because the plants are growing too fast?

"Since there are traces of hunters, there must be a spaceship docking nearby. Do we need to search for it?"

Kulu asked as she looked at Hai Xin.

"No. No need, it's important to carry out the mission."

The words of the old captain flashed through Hai Xin's mind. Although it was difficult to accept it, Hai Xin admitted that she was already resistant to strangers. If possible, she would just leave this place after completing her mission and ignore any strangers. hunter.

"I see."

Kulu had no objection, buried the traces with soil again, came to the front row and continued the investigation.

Chapter 333: Robber

Just when Kulu, Haixin and others were heading to the center of the endless sea of ​​trees, Xiyin was standing by the railing of the spaceship, turning his head boredly and looking at the dense forest.

"Little ancestor, are you thinking about it again?"

On the side, the crew member was taking care of the ship's plank with a mop, while smiling at Heidi.

This crew member was the one who guarded the spaceship last time. He was shocked when he learned that Xiyin jumped off the ship. Later, he gradually used this as a topic to tease Xiyin.

"No..." Xiyin looked in the direction of the woods and couldn't help but sigh. It was so boring. How long would it take for the instructor and the others to come back?

"It won't take long. They have been out for a few days. Counting the time, they will be back soon."

"yes."

After hearing this, Xiyin still had no energy, so the crew member asked: "If you're bored, how about I teach you about the great sword? I heard from Captain Haixin that you like to hear this the most."

"I don't think about it anymore." Xiyin curled her lips and said.

"Oh? Three minutes of heat is not a good thing." Hearing this, the crew member said with some surprise.

"No! The instructor told me that there is nothing more to talk about. The rest is to wait until I am old enough to learn how to use weapons."

"In this case, do you want to try other weapons? Before I became a big sword hunter, I also systematically learned the double sword?" Seeing that Xiyin seemed to be only interested in big swords, the crew member imagined her as a small person. He looked like he was wielding a big sword and suddenly became happy.

However, what the crew didn't know was that Hai Xin used this to tease Xiyin about her height, causing her to not like the double swords now.

"Then forget it..." She decisively refused, stood up slowly, touched her collarbone, and felt a little uncomfortable: "I'm a little sleepy."

"Okay, now is the time for children to get more rest."

——Just as Xiyin was walking towards the cabin, he suddenly felt a wave of heat coming over him.

"Eh..." She stopped and looked above her head. Reflected in her eyes were the flames burning on nearby branches.

"Is it on fire? How could it be!"

The crew members on the side also noticed the changes there and looked in that direction with wide eyes.

The air here is not dry, so there is basically no possibility of spontaneous fire. Under the watch of the crew, he indeed discovered the arrow that appeared at the location of the fire.

"——Did it be done by humans?"

The crew immediately protected Xiyin and looked around nervously.

Time only happened in an instant. He didn't understand why others did this and who did it.

But the crew immediately thought of what the captain Hai Xin had warned him about: the bandits who abandoned the dignity of hunters and made a living by robbing others.

"Whoa! Whoa -" Thinking of this, the crew member immediately bit his lower lip and blew a sharp and short whistle.

The tones cycle repeatedly, one short and one long. This is the most intuitive meaning among most professions such as hunters and adventurers - be alert!

The spacecraft immediately became active. Many crew members held weapons and dispersed in various positions of the spacecraft to look around and became alert.

At the same time, the crew members who were protecting Xiyin looked to both sides and glanced at the spaceship on the side. The people there also showed expressions of surprise and uncertainty.

It's not them...then who is it?

——According to the burning degree of these flames, they are not enough to cause a large-scale fire, nor can they cause any damage to the spacecraft. Who wants to do this?

Is it just a prank?

"Xiyin, go back to your room first. You must not come out unless someone tells you. Do you understand?"

"Um......"

Xiyin, who encountered an unexpected scene for the first time, could not restrain her nervousness. She nodded obediently and trotted back to the cabin.

Then, the crew took a deep breath, came to the bow and shouted:

"We are members of the Star Hunting Group. I wonder if it was that friend who gave us a meeting gift? Why don't we come out and meet him?"

He was extremely awkward when he said this, because 90.00% of the strange things they encountered on the earth were part of the ecology, but this time, the flaming arrows hanging on the branches told them that they were definitely human. Handwriting.

After saying these words, the spacecraft became quiet and the forest became quiet as well.

For a moment, the atmosphere on the two spaceships was a little solemn. People scanned the surroundings with slight movements. Only the trees not far away were still slowly burning and making crackling sounds.

——But not long after, they heard some restless sounds.

grumble!Chichi!grumble--

Rapid, sharp, and obvious panic can be heard in the voice.

People opened their eyes, and almost everyone subconsciously raised their weapons after hearing this voice.

A large number of apes ran out, came to the burning branches, tore off the branches and threw them on the spacecraft.

Some apes did not catch the branches and fell down, screaming at the people on the boat, showing their thick fangs.

"Ouch!"

Then, the apes rushed towards them, showing five clawed fingers.

"what!"

When they attacked, the crew members had already put their big swords on their shoulders. The moment they pounced on them, with loud shouts, the hunter carrying the big sword gave the apes a hard push and raised his other shoulder towards the apes. Bump away.

The sword hunter is an expert in the use of strength. He puts the heavy weapon on his shoulders and lets the weight of the weapon turn into resistance against the enemy. With such a blow, the ape's body is immediately knocked away.

"Ouch! Ouch!",
