Chapter 70 First Encounter with Su Tai
Fang Senyan paused, then stopped Jiao Shi, who was eagerly rushing forward to dig.
"Uh, wait, there seem to be beasts guarding this thing. It just doesn't specify what kind. We still need to be careful."
"Boss, the beast guarding it is a viper wolf."
"How do you know?"
"The lie is that I'm very knowledgeable in this area. The truth is that I've already seen those guys baring their teeth and rushing over like their butts are on fire…"
"Damn it, Jiao Shi, drop that goddamn shovel and fulfill your M's duties and responsibilities! And you're not allowed to use a gun. I don't care what you use. Even if you have to poke those goddamn wolves with your broken spear, do it. The sound of your crappy gun will carry very, very far at night. Don't cause us any trouble."
Having experienced the baptism of the beast tide, even without using a gun, Mo Gansha and the others took less than three minutes to deal with these ten-odd viper wolves. Jiao Shi painstakingly dug at that variegated fern for a long time, sweating profusely from the dense roots. Suddenly, his eyes lit up. He directly used the high-quality iron shovel he brought to dig out a cubic meter of soil from under the plant, then casually threw it into his team space… and immediately felt much lighter.
Because they had the guidance of detailed RDA internal information, Fang Senyan and the others didn't expend much effort in completing these twisted missions by following the clues. However, when they were capturing the whirlwind fan lizard, they unexpectedly alarmed a hammerhead beast for some reason.
This creature was somewhat like a stronger version of Earth's rhinoceros. Its head had a huge "U"-shaped exoskeleton, and it had peacock-like plumes as decoration. Its horns were very thick, and its explosive power was amazing. Even an M exoskeleton system armor would be sent flying and damaged if hit by this thing charging at high speed (reference the movie scene).
Fortunately, although this guy was a Tier 1 Legendary creature, it didn't have the extra hundreds of thousands of health points from the beast tide. So Fang Senyan and the three of them adopted a hit-and-run tactic. Although it looked a bit thrilling, it effectively curbed the hammerhead beast's terrifying charge. Therefore, once the situation stabilized, even though this beast roared repeatedly, it could only be slowly worn down.
But just as the three of them were attacking for a while, and even the always calm Jiao Shi was calculating what equipment would drop, they suddenly heard a faint sound in the distance. Immediately afterward, a lithe blue figure, holding vines in both hands, swung over at high speed. It did an agile somersault in the air, then knelt on the back of the hammerhead beast, stretching both hands straight to the sky and letting out a roar!
Immediately afterward, the figure thrust both hands into the hammerhead beast's eyes. The giant beast immediately let out a painful shriek. Having lost its target, it lost its balance and heavily crashed into a nearby tree. The tree immediately cracked and broke in the middle with a loud crash. The severely wounded beast also fell headfirst to the ground, only able to twitch.
The blue figure sprang up from its back, then landed back on the ground, turning around to face Fang Senyan and the others.
Without a doubt, this was a Na'vi. His face was gloomy, and he bared his canines like a leopard at Fang Senyan and the others, roaring loudly:
"Leave here! Outsiders, this place does not belong to you!"
Note: In fact, the Omaticaya clan has always been very friendly to humans. They have also tried to understand humans. The establishment of the Hell's Gate base was once assisted by them, and humans have also built facilities such as schools and hospitals for them. However, later, because the clan's princess, the heroine's sister, burned a forest-felling excavator, it was directly riddled with bullets. This fuse led the Omaticaya to hate Earthlings. Dr. Grace Augustine was expelled from the clan, and the hero's Avatar was also treated coldly when he first saw them. This is an extended version of the movie plot, not original.)
Looking at his appearance, Fang Senyan felt that he looked familiar, and couldn't help but say to Mo Gansha in the team channel:
"This guy seems to be Sutai? That tragic prince who was cuckolded by the protagonist and ended up being brothers with him?"
Mo Gansha immediately revealed a strange, suppressed smile and said:
"Boss, if he knew what you were saying, he would immediately turn against you. Also, Boss, you have to learn to respect other people's customs… I seem to have heard that in ancient China, there was a custom where a princess married a tribal leader, and after the leader died, his son married the princess. That seems even more outrageous."
Fang Senyan was immediately rendered speechless. Jiao Shi, on the other hand, was more kind. He stepped forward, placed his right hand on his chest, and bowed slightly:
"Thank you for your help, friend."
The Na'vi man was stunned, then continued angrily:
"Killing doesn't need thanks! They didn't have to die! It's all your fault! You killed those viper wolves, but you didn't treat them as food, so why did you kill them?"
Fang Senyan said helplessly:
"Because they wanted to treat us as food."
"Then you shouldn't have come here at all, appearing in front of them!" Sutai said angrily.
Fang Senyan found Sutai's logic difficult to understand, but since there seemed to be no danger at this time, Fang Senyan naturally took a few steps toward the darkness to the side, casually grabbed the Gold Mine hiding there, and promised:
"Get him sorted out, 500 Universal Points."
Gold Mine immediately straightened his tie and walked out with his head held high, then put on a miserable expression:
"Sutai, we were also forced to come here. We are a group of poor slaves. Our loved ones are imprisoned by terrible enemies. They want us to risk our lives to work, otherwise they will kill our fathers, mothers, wives, and children…"
Saying this, Gold Mine even squeezed out a few tears. His dry, orange peel-like old face wrinkled up, and then he rushed forward, hugged Sutai's calf, and burst into tears… Truly, the hardest steel can be turned into the softest touch! Na'vi usually don't consider that there are such heaven-defying things as lies. Sutai was immediately flustered and said:
"Okay, okay, I don't know about your situation, and I don't know how to help you, but please let go of my foot, okay?"
Mo Gansha said in shock in the team channel:
"It seems that there is a big difference between uncivilized and civilized Na'vi. By the way, Boss, can you tell his strength?"
Fang Senyan smiled bitterly:
"One-shot kill of a Legendary creature… although it's a Tier 1 Legendary creature, although that hammerhead beast only had three-quarters of its health left… do you think I can tell?"
Mo Gansha shrugged:
"I understand. I'll turn off my gun's safety."
Jiao Shi said:
"The RDA's information also shows that the Na'vi's brain capacity ratio is even higher than humans. Although they seem savage in hunting, at least civilized clans like the Omaticaya respect life very much. Their personalities are also inclined to be kind and advocate nature. Moreover, they have a great talent for learning languages. They can not only accurately imitate the sounds of various creatures, but also learn human languages. So I think we should be safe for the time being."
Sutai, who had finally used a gemstone pendant to get rid of Gold Mine, ignored them. Instead, he walked directly to the dying hammerhead beast, pulled out his dagger, knelt down, and began to chant:
"I feel your pain, brother."
"Let me end it."
"Thank you for your body providing us with food."
"Eywa be with you."
Then, Sutai stabbed the hammerhead beast's heart with a knife. The giant beast, which was still twitching, died instantly. Clean, neat, and swift, even the group of onlookers, Fang Senyan and the others, felt their hearts twitch as if in resonance. The black guy even muttered:
"Too cool, that line is too cool! Thank you for your body providing us with food. I'll use that line next time I kill someone. Damn, never mind, I don't want to be treated as a cannibal!"
Then Sutai called several Na'vi to carry the giant beast away, turned to look at Fang Senyan and the others, and sighed helplessly:
"The dangers in the forest are everywhere, outsiders. Your lives are so fragile here. The Omaticaya clan cannot provide you with protection at all times."
After speaking, he disappeared into the jungle carrying his prey.
In the next two days, as if to confirm Sutai's words, this vibrant but dangerous primeval jungle showed enough hostility to Fang Senyan and the others. However, in order to complete their mission, Fang Senyan and the others had no choice but to run around in it. The predator often became the prey:
Several times, Fang Senyan intended to take a sip from a water-filled green leaf, but the green leaf suddenly scurried away. It turned out that the green leaf was an extremely poisonous moth similar to a butterfly. Its mouthparts were like those of a mosquito, and it could greedily suck human blood. The venom injected into the human body could quickly paralyze the prey, and this moth was extremely greedy. Fang Senyan even witnessed it sucking blood until its belly exploded.
There was also a mutated fungus that looked like a round stone on the outside, but if you stepped on it even slightly, it would make a loud "bang" and explode, releasing a large amount of pale yellow smoke that covered dozens of square meters. A large number of fungal spores in the smoke would adhere to your body surface… ro@.
