In the African savannah, under a huge baobab tree, a male lion is lying on top of a female lioness trying to mate. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

This is their 20th mating today, both sides are a little tired, especially the lioness, who is already very impatient, from time to time to turn her head and roar twice, making a gesture to bite, but unfortunately the male lion's mane is too long, it can only bite one hair at most.

At this moment, not far in front of them, a colorful vortex the size of a basin suddenly appeared, and a black pole protruded from the whirlpool, and a complex mechanical body was fixed at the head of the pole, roughly like a Martian rover used by humans.

Lions don't know much about detectors, of course, but they're somewhat accustomed to human prying eyes – humans often use remote-controlled mobile photographic devices disguised as turtles, elephant dung or rocks.

Humans think that animals can't see it, but in fact they understand it, but after a long period of "coexistence", time has proven that these cameras do not pose a threat to them, and they are used to it.

So although the "detector" in front of him is not disguised, but after all, it is still outside a safe distance, although the female lion is vigilant and wants to slip away, but the male lion is unwilling to give up, opens his mouth to bite the female lion's neck to fix it, and continues to mate.

The detector stopped 10 meters in front of the lion and did not move. Various display lights flashed on the mech, as if calculating something, and then a yellow light shot out of the head, scanning the two lions from head to tail.

This time it really offended the "King of Beasts", the female lion struggled to break away from the male lion and quickly ran to the side, and the male lion also because the detector disturbed his "Yaxing", roared at the detector, and then ran wildly, opening its bloody mouth, it was going to bite this thing to pieces immediately!

The probe quickly withdrew into the whirlpool, and the lion pounced, unrelenting, and continued to pounce on the whirlpool, but the whirlpool quickly disappeared.

The male lion circled a few times in the place where the whirlpool disappeared, and then ran to chase the female lion, wanting to continue to "find fun", but unfortunately the female lion has no interest, and today I am afraid that there is no play.

The same thing happened in many parts of the African savannah, where animals including hyenas, elephants, wildebeests, zebras, antelopes, cheetahs, and many more were scanned by "detectors", including, of course, some plants.

At night, a small tribe of several hundred people was woken up by the cry of a baby, the baby was scared to cry by the red light scanned by the detector, but unfortunately when the adults woke up, the detector had been evacuated, and no one found it, and the baby's mother thought he was hungry and desperately breastfed him.

The next day, on the periphery of Yellowstone National Park in the United States, a large colorful whirlpool appeared, and a group of strong figures came out of the whirlpool one after another.

Each of these creatures is more than 3 meters tall, with a hippopotamus-like head, rough skin of earthy yellow, and walks upright on both legs.

Each of them carried a strangely shaped metal weapon, with no wisps on their bodies, except for the leather goods of unknown animals used to hold them in place.

It's hard to imagine why these "hippopotamus" are equipped with cold weapons, which are very different from the "portal" behind them.

There are about 100 "hippopotamus people" in total, and it can be seen from their brief verbal exchanges with each other that they are intelligent creatures that can use language.

After all the hippopotamus people walked out, a huge strange creature emerged from the whirlpool, which looked like a huge slug, about seven or eight meters tall and about twenty meters long!

After the "big slug" crawled out, the whirlpool shut down.

The team of hippopotamus people left a dozen people in place, as if to protect the "big slug", and all the others scattered, they ran fast, breathed normally, and did not wear any masks, it seemed that they were very adapted to the gravity of the earth and the air, and in a short time, they ran away.

The direction in which they run is the interior of Yellowstone National Park.

………………

In addition to being famous for its peculiar geology and huge active volcanoes, Yellowstone National Park is also the largest wildlife sanctuary and famous wildlife park in the United States, with more than 300 species of wild animals, including black bears, grizzly bears, elk, bighorn sheep, moose, coyotes, bison and other large mammals, it can be said that this is the largest wildlife park in North America.

But today, the sudden appearance of the "hippopotamus people" broke the silence here, killing one of each animal, then smearing the blood of the animal on the body and the hippopotamus's large face, and then collecting the "parts" of these animals and hanging them on their bodies.

For example: the ears of bears, the horns of deer and sheep, the hooves of bison, the tail of wolves, etc., they do not kill the animals from which the "parts" are taken, but only string these "parts" and go back.

As a result, you can see some hippopotamus people carrying a big bad wolf with a "necklace" made of bear ears around their necks, and some hippopotamus people with a string of cow hooves around their necks and some with a string of wolf teeth......

The hippopotamus moves quickly and walks back with his "prey", humming a strange intonation as he goes, as if singing.

Although it is a paradise for wild animals, it is still a "large zoo" and is managed by humans, and the zoo soon discovered the anomalies of the wild animals, and then the traces of the hippopotamus people.

Although it is said that the hippopotamus people did not kill many animals directly, they were cruel, and after removing the body tissues of the animals, many animals lost too much blood and fell to the ground and died.

The park acted immediately, but unfortunately the hippos were too fast for them to catch up, and the incident happened suddenly, even if the helicopter was called, it would take a while to arrive.

Of course, not all of the staff did not meet the hippopotamus, but those who met were killed, decapitated and hung around their waists.

They're hunting!

Soon, the "fully loaded" hippopotamus people rushed back to the place where the "big slug" was, and the two tentacles on the head of the "big slug" flashed electric light, and the green electric light converged between the two tentacles to form a large lightning ball, and then, a huge colored vortex appeared around the lightning ball, and the "portal" opened!

The hippopotamus people collectively shouted something, and then one of the largest hippopotamus people took the lead in drilling into the whirlpool, and at this moment, the colorful whirlpool suddenly shook rapidly, becoming bigger and bigger, like a giant mouth, swallowing the "big slug" in one bite, and then dissipated directly!

The hippopotamus people who were left alone stared inexplicably.

In the distance, the sound of a helicopter was heard.

………………

Antarctic subglacial base.

The space distorted, and a "big slug" appeared.

"Intruder Found, Captured Successfully"

"Invasive Species: Godsoids"

"Species Grade: Rare"

"Species Ability: Encroaching Plane Barriers"

"Associated Race: Undocumented, preliminarily judged to be an inferior civilization race"

"Destroy Companion Races: No"

"Search the inventory balance of the Protoss in this base: 77"

"Whether to seal: Yes, 100 can only be traded in the [upper domain]"

The "Great Slug" was locked in a translucent black area, and there were 77 "Great Slugs" like it, the largest of which was comparable to a mountain!

However, if you look at it from the outside of the black area, this black "cuboid" is only the size of a matchbox!

On the "matchbox" there is an icon of "slug", and the number is shown below the icon: from the number "77", jump to "78"!

Around this "matchbox", there are tens of millions of similar "matchboxes"!

These "matchboxes" come in all colors, yellow is the most, green is second, red is less, and the box like the "big slug" trapped is black, much less than the red one, and at a glance, there are purple boxes that are rarer than black, and next, even rarer is the golden "matchbox" that shines brightly, and finally, there is a small colored box that may be the only one in this pile of "matchboxes"!

………………

These "hippopotamus" are naturally creatures from the outer plane, although they have intelligence, but because of their strong physique and good combat effectiveness, they have no will to develop technology.

They don't have the habit of recording history, but the ancient legends passed down from generation to generation mention that a long, long time ago, their ancestors one day hunted a strange creature, because although this creature has no ability to protect itself, but it can take this ancestor to many interesting places to hunt, so that ancestor became the most powerful and prestigious hunter of the year, and the things it hunted are always something that no one else has ever seen!

Later, that ancestor formed his own tribe, which continued to expand, and finally unified the entire "Hippopotamus" clan, and the strange creature was worshipped as a "sacred relic" by the whole clan, and passed down from generation to generation.

I don't know how many years have passed, but in addition to growing in size, that "holy relic" will not age, let alone die, only the best hunters in the clan are qualified to drive the "holy relic" to hunt in the "outer lands"!

And in return, the "hippopotamus" must protect the safety of the "holy relic", after all, it has no means of self-preservation.

Before setting out, every hippopotamus who "goes out" with the "holy relics" must make a poisonous oath to the spirits of their ancestors and the "god of hunting" they believe in, and they will definitely protect the "holy relics" safely, even if no one can return, they must let the "holy relics" return.

As for the "probes" on the African savannah the day before, they did not invent them, but the loot obtained after hunting a technological civilization, and with this trophy, they can more accurately judge whether the unexplored "outer land" has hunting value!

But now, the "holy thing" is gone right under their noses!

So, the overwhelmed hippopotamus people went berserk, they drew their weapons, formed an array, and they slaughtered while looking for the "holy relics"!

Only slaughter can hide the panic in their hearts - in all the generations that the "hippopotamus" have passed down, nothing like this has happened that makes them feel powerless! (To be continued.) )
