"Okay." Li Ling nodded, once again amazed by Nayin's language talent and comprehension. Of course, Nain may also be an old rabbit who has followed his human master for many years and learned the human language.

"Interested in having dinner together? Youngster. The long beard on Nain's lips curled up, and it looked like she was smiling.

Li Ling wished he wanted to get acquainted with this new world as soon as possible, and by the way, he would inquire about the news of those human forerunners. And how lucky it was to meet a rabbit who could communicate smoothly - it should be a Busen person! He nodded busily.

"Si Dao - Bi!" Naine's melodious and long voice sounded again. The big hand monster's sturdy body jumped up and down twice, and smashed towards Li Ling again.

Li Ling flashed sideways, his face was extremely pale.

"Gurgling......" Naine made a muffled sound in the Big Brother's ear.

"Roar! Roar! Si Daobi waved his fist at Li Ling a few times, and then obediently followed behind Naiyin, as if he had compromised.

"A strange pair!" Li Ling thought to himself.

Next, Li Ling knew what it meant to be eye-opening.

Naiyin grunted for a while, and after hearing this, Si Daobi violently hammered the ground a few times, plucked a wide and heavy leaf from the big tree in the distance, and put it on Li Ling's head.

Li Ling was secretly surprised that the seemingly docile big rabbit could actually control a strong beast with just a few simple notes.

That must be the power of the spell! He began to wonder if he and his companions could work together to defeat some of the big bunnies who knew magic and spells! He had read novels like that in which the protagonist conquered the wizarding world with martial arts.

"Either way, they saved my life!" Li Ling arched his hand gratefully. Thinking of the purpose for which he and his companions had come from afar, he couldn't help but blush with shame: their group of people had come to help the human forerunners conquer this planet.

Li Ling believed that those forerunners had already done some harm to these intelligent and kind creatures. Otherwise they wouldn't have been so hostile to themselves in the first place.

But there is another possibility: from a distant Earth, the lone human being is the one who is threatened.

If Sirte is a conscious body, then human beings are like bacteria floating in the air, not only fighting for living space, but also avoiding the attack of the immune system.

Looking at these two smart and strong guys, how could a mere hundred or so human forerunners threaten the intelligent beings who have lived here for countless years?

Of course, the jury is still out. Unless he and his companions make it to their destination and see the descendants of the human forerunners with their own eyes, the truth will be revealed.

In any case, Li Ling hopes that the human forerunners will become a relatively strong party. Then the supporters they were invited to suffer less. At least he believed that intelligent and powerful humans would never brutally exterminate these intelligent species, but would leave them with the necessary living space and status.

"Even if it's as a pet or as a slave." Li Ling thought. Stepby's happened to turn his head to look at him. Li Ling lowered his head a little weakly.

The three of them walked a long distance downstream along the creek before finally stopping at a slightly open spot. There is a five-metre-high drop waterfall that forms a small pool below.

Naine muttered a few longer, more complex notes, far more complex than people would have trained their pets or yelled at their animals.

Li Ling began to suspect that it was not a spell, but the language that belonged to the creatures themselves. But the strange thing is that Naiyin and Si Daobi obviously don't belong to the same kind, how can they communicate normally?

Stepby also grunted a few times and jumped into the pool under the waterfall.

It spread its hands and swayed back and forth in the pool. Each hand had about ten long, thick, hairy fingers, like two sieves, that easily scooped up many things that were round like red apples.

Li Ling looked down and found that those things had eyes the size of mung beans and many transparent fins. Well, this is supposed to be a fish.

At the same time, Naine ran towards the mountains and forests in the distance. His cross-legged running posture was somewhat comical, but not much slower than a human. But when he bent down and ran, his speed and agility surprised Li Ling again.

Nain brought back some yellow berries and placed them on a stone slab next to the pool, and surrounded them with dead branches and leaves.

Li Ling thought it was for food. Even though his stomach was rumbling with hunger, he still kept an eye on it and didn't try rashly.

Sure enough, a few minutes later, those yellow berries "poof!" "The ground burst open, and several of them even burst into flames, igniting the dead branches next to them.

……

When it was getting late, Li Ling was lucky enough to achieve part of his ideal: roasting game in the twilight jungle.

But he was not as a hunter, nor with Qin Xiaoyu or other familiar partners, but with the two strange creatures in front of him.

Li Ling imitated the appearance of the big rabbit, and somewhat clumsily threaded those fish together with branches, and then set them on the fire after the fire.

He himself had been trained in survival in the wild, but it was clear that both Nayin and Staobie were experts in this field.

When the body of the fish began to become burnt, Li Ling blew a few breaths before taking a light bite, and the tender fish meat immediately filled his mouth.

"This is food from Sirte!" Li Ling was full of emotion. He looked gratefully at the two eating creatures in front of him. I thought that if Qin Xiaoyu and the others could be as lucky as themselves, they should have tasted the deliciousness of this world at the same moment!

"What? Are these things not to your taste? Nai Yin stared at Li Ling, who was distracted. I've seen your kind catch fish to eat, so guess you like this food too. ”

"It's delicious! But I usually sprinkle some salt and spices on top to make it even tastier! Li Ling said truthfully, thinking that the big rabbit had indeed dealt with the human forerunners, and he must ask him later.

"What is salt?!" Before Li Ling could speak, Nai Yin asked suspiciously.

"Uh...... It is a colorless and transparent cubic crystal, and its scientific name is sodium chloride! Li Ling replied casually.

"What is sodium chloride?!" The rabbit's mouth stopped chewing, and it looked like it was eager to learn.

"Uh...... It is...... It is...... An ionic compound with a salty taste. Li Ling felt that if he continued to talk about it, let alone the big rabbit opposite, he would be stunned.

"Ionic ...... Compound ......" Naine tapped her fingers lightly on the stone slab in front of her, falling into deep thought.

After a long time, Nayin pulled a few handfuls of grass and spread them beside him, and then said, "Come, tell me about it carefully!" What are ionic compounds? ”

"Shhh...... This one...... It's a long story! Li Ling took a breath of cold air. How to explain ionic compounds to a big rabbit in simple terms is not what he is good at.

"It's okay, the Busen people have patience!" Nain's body shrunk and turned into a fluffy mass.

Li Ling has the feeling of a three-year-old child asking a housewife to explain how to repair an aero engine. And he worries that the big rabbit has the intention of stealing human knowledge. Although he does not know as much as the experts and scholars who come with him.

He was about to fool around, so he deliberately slurred his words, and quickened his voice: "Okay, that's a compound made of cations and anions, over!" ”

"Wait, what are ions?!" Naine asked, looking up. He seemed to see Li Ling's perfunctory, so he reminded: "Don't skip every detail!" ”

Li Ling secretly blamed himself for being too talkative, and at the same time reluctantly drew a circle on the ground, and said with a bitter face: "As far as I guess, they are some very small balls......"

This time, Naine finally nodded and didn't interrupt him.

Perhaps out of arrogance and pretentiousness, or perhaps because the big rabbit was too focused and modest, Li Ling quickly opened up the conversation, and even spit on the earth's cultural and technological achievements, of course, it was made up.

It wasn't until his mouth was dry that he came back to his senses and awkwardly pinched his throat, which was about to smoke.

Nayin grunted a few times, and Si Daobi, who was sleeping next to him, immediately brought Li Ling some water with leaves.

"I'm sorry, I seem to be off topic." Li Ling took the water and drank it all.

"It's okay, you're talking about a lot of fun! And you humans all sound smart and brave! Nayin looked at Li Ling carefully with its two round eyes.

Li Ling puffed up his chest proudly, thinking that the days of human beings sleeping in the open like big rabbits, gathering and hunting had become history tens of thousands of years ago.

"There's one more question." Still not satisfied, Naine continued to ask, "You don't look like any other human I've seen, how did you get to this neighborhood and almost drown?" ”

"Of course it's different, I'm new!" Li Ling replied subconsciously, but he didn't notice that Nai Yin was talking about "you".

The big rabbit didn't deliberately trap him, but he was able to take the initiative to talk non-stop, and Li Ling began to have a feeling of being peeped at.

Li Ling secretly swore that he would not divulge any secrets again, so he shifted the topic to the other party: "How did you communicate with Si Daobi?" Is it a spell or a reflex – the kind of tacit understanding that has been cultivated through pet training? ”

"Spells? Reflection?! No, no, no...... I know what humans mean by pets, and our relationship isn't what you think! Naine shook her head. We are equal, and all creatures on Sirte are equal! We only have a cooperative relationship! ”

"Big joke!" Li Ling thought to himself, but he didn't rush to refute, but listened patiently like a big rabbit.

"Plus, of course, we communicate in language—the language that Stepby's is proficient in."

"Do you mean...... You know a lot of languages?! Or even the languages of different species of organisms? Li Ling said dumbfounded.

"A lot!" Naine replied in the affirmative. "As long as the difference is not too big, and I have the same long, soft tongue, I can quickly understand and remember the meaning of those special syllables, and communicate with them!"

"But how did you do that?! It's also too ...... It's unbelievable! Li Ling once shocked those who could speak multiple foreign languages, but now he saw an even more bullish one.

"It's a talent from the Busen people, I'm just a little bit better at it!" Naine said in a flat tone. "Just as you humans use force and knowledge to win, we use our tongues!" With that, Naine opened her mouth and stuck out her long tongue.

"But when you're in danger, you can't just rely on your tongue, right?!"

"I'll do my best!" Naine replied.

"Why don't you use your fists...... Li Ling glanced at Naiyin's arms and legs, and changed his words: "Scratch it with your claws?" ”

"That's the rule of your world! But on Sirte, intelligence and impulse are inversely proportional! ”

"We're not as rough as you think. But I wonder if you've tried to solve the problem by force? Li Ling said curiously. I thought that if all the intelligent beings on Sirte Star thought so, the human forerunners would have already gone sideways.

"Giggle...... Of course, even the docile Busen people always have a few who are different, even outstanding. That's what they suggested! It was also strongly advocated. ”

"Then they ......"

Nain's eyelids drooped, and her tone was soft and slow: "Crazy, no exceptions!" They all went crazy in the end! ”

Li Ling was a little confused and wanted to ask again, but found that Nai Yin was motionless as if he was asleep.
