After dealing with the punishment for the dereliction of duty, Jiawen came to Joe with an interesting thought, and looked at the canine creature that had lost his breath.

Gavin stretched out his hand to play with its claws, slender and sharp, but under the fluffy hair is scaly skin, very rare, such a biological structure not only has a strong warmth effect, but also has a good ability to resist cuts, but this small creature is inherently resistant to blunt injury, so Gavin hurriedly punched its neck easily, but Gavin is also very curious about its bone structure, you must know that ordinary creatures are punched by the Star Marine, Most of them died from a skull explosion and a burst of brains, but the unknown creature only had its neck discounted and could struggle for a while before dying.

If its target wasn't a Space Marine, but an ordinary mortal, Gavin estimated that it would be able to easily confront a company of defenders in this plain meadow, with its lightning-fast speed and sharp claws, as well as its teeth and claws, and wipe out the army in a long sneak attack.

Thinking of this, Jiawen turned his head and waved his hand for Apothecary Andre to come over.

"Andre, come over here and analyze the characteristics of this creature."

Apothecary Andre came over, took the small canine beast handed over by Joe, rummaged through its whole body, groped its whole body carefully, and finally Reverend Andre took off his helmet and dipped his fingers in a little of its venom and blood to taste it.

Then, Pharmacist Andrea, who had come to a simple conclusion, reflexively reported to Gawen.

"Leader, this is a small canine-like creature with a certain amount of intelligence, its complex fur and skin, so that it has a strong ability to conceal, paralyzing venom is not fatal, but can make a sturdy adult mortal after a small injury, in a novel, unknowingly lose consciousness, and finally the heart loses its beating under the effect of this venom. To sum up, this is a small canine-type creature that makes a living by sneaking up on large creatures. ”

"Well, is its venom a threat to Space Marines?"

"Nope!"

Hearing no, Jiawen suddenly lost interest in it and waved his hand.

"This animal is called Grace Snow Fox, take it, it's my prey, it's a little small, barely enough to stuff your teeth, but it doesn't matter, we don't waste food."

After saying that, Jiawen continued to walk forward, and several honorary guards hurriedly gathered up and followed, blocking the side and back of the regiment commander to prevent the regiment commander from encountering another sneak attack.

This time, there was no blind animal sneak attack team, and it took Jiawen and his party twenty minutes to reach the edge of the jungle.

Garvin walked over to a towering tree and looked up and down at the tree that could grow in the snow and ice.

The tree in front of Jiawen was as thick as three people hugging, with a straight trunk of ten meters, rough bark and broad, thick leaves, and the appearance was like a pine tree used as a Christmas tree in the Earth era.

However, Gavin knew that this tree was definitely not a pine, because not only did a pine tree never have such leaves, but it was also impossible for it to bloom yellow flowers and fruits like pine cones in the snow and ice.

Garvin looked up at the woods and saw that the jungle was full of these strange "pine trees", and the ground was covered with all kinds of strange grasses that tenaciously emerged from the snowdrifts.

"Smack~~~~~~~~

Gavin slapped the trunk hard, and the snow pine tree shook, and then a large cloud of snow, yellow flowers, and fruits fell.

Apothecary André leaned over and picked up the six-petaled flower and the fruit with layers of skin, looked at it, and the apothecary put the flower in his mouth again, and after a while, André spit out the chewed flower.

"This flower can be eaten, but it is bitter."

As he spoke, Andre picked up the palm-sized fruit again, peeled off the epidermis with his fingers, revealing the pale yellow kernel, and stuffed it into his mouth again.

"Hey, this fruit is edible, it tastes good, it provides relatively high heat energy, and it can also squeeze vegetable oil. A food that can be used as a staple food. ”

Andrei said as he looked up at the number of fruits on the snowy "pine" trees.

"The fruit yield of this tree seems to be quite high."

Hearing Andre's conclusion, Jiawen touched his chin and walked around the tree, looking up and down carefully.

"I don't know the name, so I'll just call it Grace Pines. At that time, after the training camp is established, a large number of mechanical slaves can be arranged to come to this forest to collect these pine cones as the staple food of recruits and servants, and the use of vegetable oil is also a good choice, but I don't know how big this forest is, and whether the pine cones can support the consumption of the training camp. ”

"Commander, don't worry, judging from the reconnaissance pictures of the Storm, this forest is already about 300,000 square kilometers, and most of the trees in this forest are this kind of Grace pines."

Shabak came up and told him about the woods, and then he said.

"Captain, shall we now go in and investigate the situation in the woods?"

"No, we don't have much time today, just leave it to the fighters to investigate this kind of thing. I'm curious now about what these trees rely on to survive in this dead world. Besides, since there is this forest and fruit, it also shows that there can be conditions for the existence of colonies, why doesn't the imperial government build colonies in this world? ”

Gavin said curiously, looking at the dark spots of light in the depths of the jungle, and at the same time estimating in his heart the possibility of human or subhuman existence in this forest. Those dim points of light, Jiawen knew that some carnivorous animals were looking at his group, and finally thought that these strange bipeds were not easy to mess with, so he quietly left the edge of the woods and hid in the dark woods. From beginning to end, Jiawen didn't see the true faces of these animals, only saw white shadows of white flowers, about a dozen of them.

The honorary guards also saw it, but they didn't care, and they were a little eager to try, but without the order of the regiment commander and their own sense of responsibility, everyone suppressed their urge to hunt and did not rush in, but quietly formed a semi-circular formation, aimed their guns at the woods, and was vigilant against the dangerous animals in the woods.

The Chester Mechanic Sergeant of the Honor Squad didn't get involved, he took out a piece of data and linked it to the Tempest, and after a while, he turned his head to report to Gavin.

"Captain, according to the information on the Tempest, this forest is the only forest of the size of the Death World in Gerson, and the underground of this forest is a thin bottom layer, and the molten slurry flows underneath, providing a lot of heat and hot spring water for these trees to grow. As for why the Empire didn't build a colony here, on the one hand, there were no huge mineral veins detected, the sparse sunlight and long nights were not suitable for habitation, and the perennial cold was not suitable for a garden world. What's more, within the empire, there are a lot of worlds with a better environment than this dead world, and the empire can't spend a lot of effort to transform this world, and the investment is not proportional to the gain. ”

"I see."

Jiawen suddenly realized.

"However, this world of the dead, which is temporarily uninhabited by humans, is exactly the best place I need to set up a temporary training camp, and when the time comes to Terra, I will go to the Asterta Monks to register the information, and if no one owns this world, I will directly apply for the training world exclusive to the Warbor Warband. Let's go, now let's go in and hunt some game, or it's not worth it to go out in vain and get nothing out of it. ”

"Captain!"

Shabak apparently has his own proposals.

"Anyway, if we set up a training camp here, shouldn't we say hello to the governor of this system!?"

"Oh, I was negligent, Shabak, you use the communicator to contact Duncan's communicator and let him handle this matter."

"Yes, your will is everything!"

With that, Gavin led the way into the depths of the woods, followed by the Honorary Guards. (To be continued.) )
