10. Chapter 10: Men

I immediately put my ear to the ground and sensed where the sound was coming from.

Sadly, the voices are coming from all directions, and there seem to be quite a few people coming.

I glanced at my feet, and thankfully the soil was dry and didn't leave my footprints. Now there may be a huge net waiting for me all around, and I have no way to leave, so I can only climb the tree and cover us with the dense foliage.

The flock of birds perched on the trees seemed to sense something, and after a few chirps, they flew high into the air in fright. It wasn't long before a group of men dressed in tree clothes arrived with guns, bent over, ambushed around the tree hole, cautiously advanced to the edge of the tree hole, and then picked up the laser step. Guns, without temperature, the muzzle is invariably aimed at the hole.

Sharp-armoured soldiers, a special forces force I didn't expect, appeared below me, and the unusually polished armor stabbed my eyes with pain.

Could it be that the Nords have discovered us?

As soon as the thought crossed my mind, the sharp-armored soldiers below took action. The man who appeared to be the captain made a forward gesture, and two sharp-armored soldiers stepped out from the left and right, holding laser steps in both hands. The gun slowly approached both sides of the hole, closing in...... Then, pull the trigger and shoot wildly into the closed hole.

"Boom!"

A large hole was blasted out of the hole by the laser, and the remaining sharp-armored soldiers quickly surrounded the hole, staring ahead with their guns in vigilance.

We are not in the hollow of the tree, and it is clear that their waiting and guarding are in vain.

"Kashi." Relieved and put his arms around my waist and let out a frightened trill, I put my arms around him back, gently stroked his head, and told him in a silent lip voice, please don't be afraid, they won't find us.

The Sharp-Armored Soldiers broke into the hollow of the tree, but of course, they didn't get anything.

The captain said into the communicator on his wrist, "The target is not here, please evacuate." Then he pointed the communicator at the opening, and through the radial scanning light emitted from the communicator, he scanned the image in front of him into the communicator and transmitted it to the communicator.

The other side of the communication quickly replied, but unfortunately the voice was too weak for my ears to be limited and I couldn't really hear it, but judging from the behavior of the sharp-armored soldiers in putting away their guns, the other party should have agreed to their evacuation.

At this moment, the air in the air was unusually stirred, and a gust of wind quickly swept behind me, and almost in the blink of an eye, a behemoth appeared in front of my eyes.

Octopus salamander.

I didn't have time to think about why the "LS" group would have crossed paths with the Sharps, so I held my breath and hugged my grip. The octopus-clawed salamander is exactly the same height as we are, and if it shakes its head loudly, it will crash into our tree. Unfortunately, at its head sat the middle-aged man from the "LS" organization, who made sure to turn the sharp-armored soldier's gaze upwards.

Well, now I have two problems before me, if we move now, it will cause the branches and leaves to shake, and if we don't go, they will find us.

Just as I was thinking about my next move, I slapped my palm, and the two webbed claws and ten fingers were together, and then slowly stretched outward, stretching out a transparent bubble from between the two palms, and the bubble slowly expanded, and then expanded...... until it completely envelops us.

The bright sunlight blurred a colorful circle of light on the bubbles, slowly swinging like ripples, and then there was a wind blowing, and I was worried that the bubbles would be blown away, but I didn't expect that the bubbles could change into a shape that adapted to the direction of the wind, and they were not damaged at all. It's amazing, I feel like I'm not inside a bubble, but in a bouncy jelly.

The sharp-armored soldier's gaze focused on us, and I was so nervous that I couldn't breathe, but strangely, they didn't spot us as I feared, and instead communicated with the middle-aged man normally. I immediately understood the role of bubbles, which make us invisible to others, in short, invisible to others.

I gratefully touched Shi's head, and Shi's ear fins stood up happily and arched his furry head into my palm, as if he wanted me to touch it a few more times. I reluctantly granted his little wish, and then looked down.

Just as we share the joy, there seems to be some friction underneath.

The captain of the Sharp-Armored Soldiers said to the middle-aged man in an impatient tone: "Colonel Chelson, we have completed the task given to us by the government, and it is not our task to continue to hunt down slaves. ”

"Please don't say that," replied the middle-aged man named Chelson, who spread his hands and spoke in a mild-sounding tone, "although we belong to different departments, we are all under the orders of the government. Remember what the government ordered yesterday? The government has asked us to take our fugitive slaves Sals and March back to Cezea by any means we take, and you need to come to our aid if necessary. Now March has been captured by us, but Sals is still at large. There's a terrible mermaid by his side......"

Wait, March got caught?

As I wondered, the voice of the Captain of the Sharps rang out.

"Colonel Cherson, I think I need to repeat to you again, our mission today is only to help you attack this tree hole. Instead of continuing to hunt down fugitive slaves...... Yes! ”

The short scream suddenly disappeared, and the eight-clawed salamander opened its bloody teeth in an instant and swallowed the captain into its mouth!

In the next second, the sound of gunfire sounded in the belly of the eight-clawed salamander, but what was shocking was that the belly of the eight-clawed salamander was undamaged, and it felt like a body armor made of precision particles, completely blocking the high-tech projectile.

The scene fell into chaos, and the rest of the sharp-armored soldiers immediately set up laser steps. The gun was aimed at the body of the eight-clawed salamander, and Chelson used a whip wrapped around the electricity in a panic to whip the eight-clawed salamander's head, and yelled: "Ai God, what are you doing this brute!" Spit people out! ”

The eight-clawed salamander looked up obediently and spat out the captain with a wow.

Oh, the captain looked pretty bad right now, covered in foul-smelling secretions and food residues - like meat foam and stuff - and even worse, the supposedly hardest armor of the Empire had been dissolved into a few holes by the digestive juices.

It's a smug warning to the sharp-armoured warriors that the eight-clawed salamander can easily withstand their high-tech weapons, and not to provoke it.

The atmosphere on the field was getting more and more stiff, the captain was already unconscious, and the rest of the sharp-armored soldiers showed their proud weapons, as if ready to rebuke Chelson for his atrocities by force.

"You damn brute!" Chelson jumped off the eight-clawed salamander, flicked the thunder whip, and frantically whipped the eight-clawed salamander, the hard scales were pulled outward, the blurred flesh tissue was exposed to the sun, and the blood was like a fountain to both sides, and the strange thing was that the eight-clawed salamander was like a lifeless wood, no resistance, no howl, the only reaction was to keep paddling its tail.

No matter how loyal a dog is, when it is abused, it will fiercely resist, and I do not believe that a savage creature will be content to accept any punishment.

Maybe it's controlled by something, maybe it doesn't have pain nerves...... Anyway, this punishment for not resisting seemed to calm the anger of the sharp-armored soldiers. Of course, Chelson's "sincere" apology also played a role. I have to admit that Chelson's acting skills are really good, and if I ignore the schadenfreude in his tone, I must have softened his crying behavior.

The inconclusive dispute ended with the sharp-armored soldiers carrying the captain away. When the sharp-armored soldiers were far away, Chelson finally showed his true expression.

A maniacal laugh of mockery and disdain.

"A bunch of mongrels!"

The shrill laughter is like a howl from a microphone that responds in response, making your teeth ache and tingle.

Gliding the fishtail in relief, a low whisper of displeasure came out of my throat, I covered his ear fins and took him into my arms, keeping him as isolated from the unpleasant noise as possible.

Chelson's laughter was interrupted, and a man in a white lab coat came into my sight as regular footsteps rang out.

He put his hands in the pockets of his coat and walked slowly, the whole person seemed to be very casual and loose, but his steps and demeanor were full of rigor. I couldn't tell what he looked like, but from the way he raised his hand to push the wings of his nose, he was wearing a pair of glasses.

His voice was unexpectedly beautiful, compared to Chelson's voice, it was simply the difference between nature and noise: "Cherson, I think I warned you not to go head-to-head with the sharp-armored soldiers, after all, they are the government's subordinates, and once they target you, your real life will probably be interrupted by the government." ”

"Ben, are you kidding?" Chelson waved his hand indifferently, his tone full of contempt, "Just those bastards with impure blood? Don't forget this year's naval battle, the team they sent didn't even capture the island inhabited by the deep sea merfolk, and they were killed by the merfolk! If they had enough power, the government would not have supported our research projects for so many years. ”

"I guess you don't forget that our research project was not entirely successful."

"Shut your mouth!" Cherson pointed to Ben's nose and gritted his teeth, "I don't need you to remind me." Now, we have what it takes to catch that person, and the research project will be successful! ”

"Well, then, I wish you success." Ben turned around and was about to leave.

Chelson stopped Ben: "Where are you going?" ”

Ben turned to the side, and my eyes ached from the reflection of the sunlight, and he pushed his glasses and said meaningfully, "Of course I want to leave this eerie place, you know, what happened here." Eighteen years have passed, and I didn't expect that this tree hole still exists. It's like ......" He stopped abruptly, looked up at a slow pace, and looked up...... Then, the gaze suddenly shot at us!
