Seeing clearly that there seemed to be a threatless small animal in front of him, Ethan did not stop there, but firmly swung the energy sword in his hand.

Choke!

Obviously, it was the energy blade that slashed at the body of a kitten cub no matter how it looked, and it actually made a sound of metal striking, and with the piercing sound was a red glow, which burst out from that little thing.

"Energy Shield?"

Ethan smashed the kitten out with a sword, and the energy shield protected the cat-like animal, but the sheer force still smashed the little thing into the air and fell to the snow.

Perhaps aware of Ethan's strength, the little thing stood up immediately after hitting the ground, and then turned its head to run, but was a little dizzy by Ethan's apparent beating, and after staggering a few steps on the snow, it fell headlong into the snow.

“......”

Ethan stood on guard, waiting for a moment to make sure that the thing was really faint, rather than deliberately pretending to be knocked unconscious to trick him into approaching.

After getting closer, Ethan reached out and picked up the little thing, turned it to face him, and found that the little thing had tilted its head, its tongue drooped out, and a pair of round eyes that were out of focus, and should not have come to its senses.

"What is this?"

On Earth, this would undoubtedly be a feline, most likely a kitten, and less likely a cub of some other big cat.

But in this world, the devil knows what it is. The sturdy sword that he had made before didn't leave any scars on it, just stunned it and fainted, knowing that this was definitely not a kitten.

I shook it lightly with my hand, and found that the little thing still looked half-dead. Ethan squinted, he noticed that this guy's gaze was focused for a moment just now, and he should have woken up.

"Ah, I just haven't eaten, it's a little small, but it's meat. ”

Before he finished speaking, the little guy in his hand began to writhe wildly, trying to break free from his hand, Ethan was caught off guard and almost ran away by it, so he quickly grabbed some and put the energy blade on the battle cross against the little guy's neck: "If you move again, I will immediately bleed you." ”

Seeing that this guy really didn't move, but looked at himself pitifully with those big round eyes, as if begging him to let him go.

"This stuff is kind of interesting. ”

Ethan crouched down, placed the small object on the ground in front of him, and put away his weapon, he had the means to prevent him from escaping.

But this thing is very smart, and it seems to recognize the huge gap between the two, and directly squatting in place to Ethan and constantly selling cuteness.

"When you pounced on me just now, you were fierce and vicious, why aren't you arrogant now. ”

This guy actually showed a particularly humane expression, even if he couldn't speak, Ethan understood the meaning: Didn't I expect you to be so powerful?

"What the hell is this?"

Ethan is becoming more and more curious about this thing, it looks like a kitten, but the degree of intelligence is very high, and it can communicate without any obstacles when it is impossible to have a conversation, although Ethan can't use mental power to probe, but he still keenly feels that when this little thing is doing movements, there will be obvious energy fluctuations released.

The scouting glasses worn on the eyes also give data as evidence, but this fluctuation is not obvious enough and can easily be ignored when not specifically probing. It was with this fluctuation that Ethan understood what he meant.

After staring at each other for a while, Ethan suddenly became curious about another question: "Are there any other creatures on this island besides you?"

The little guy shook his head, it seemed that there was only one creature on this island, and he didn't know how it was born.

Plants are easy to understand, the energy contained in the islands accelerates the growth rate of those plants. But how did all kinds of animals come into being? They can't just come out of nowhere, can they? Could it be that some creatures that happened to be 'topped' up from the sea by islands evolved rapidly and then became all kinds of land animals under the influence of some mysterious force?

This seems a bit magical, but none of the things I have experienced in the past few years are not magical, and it doesn't seem to be anything.

Ethan was distracted and thought of something else, and when he came back to his senses, he saw that the little thing was pulling the ground with his head down, and then dug out a piece of ore with a magic stone from the soil under the snow, and used his claws to pick off a red magic stone on it, and held it in his mouth and gnawed it very vigorously.

"You've been eating this all the time?"

The little thing was eating happily, and only gave Ethan a look: what else can I eat if I don't eat this? Then he continued to gnaw on the red magic stone, and he didn't even bother to look at Ethan.

Perhaps sensing that Ethan didn't want to hurt it, the animal that seemed to be a kitten cub gradually revealed its true nature, no longer blindly pleasing Ethan as it did at the beginning, and began to do its own thing - it would tentatively 'ask' Ethan, and when it saw that Ethan did not object, it would gradually expand its range of activities.

"This guy wants to run ......"

The gadget was still fighting with Ethan, but Ethan continued to observe very calmly. The animal that found this suspected kitten specialized in digging up fire-attribute magic stones to eat, and seemed to be using the energy in it to protect itself.

The hair on its body is not thick, and it can not be frozen to death in such a cold environment, relying on the fire attribute energy contained in the magic stone. It's not so much eating magic stones as it is eating energy.

This energy, at the same time, provides what it needs to survive on this island where there is no food.

"Unfortunately, the Floating Island doesn't last forever. ”

When the island sank, the animals on the island had only one ending: they sank to the bottom of the sea with the island that gave birth to them, and their lives came to an end.

If Ethan's previous theories were correct, the Floating Islands gave them new life forms, allowing them to survive after leaving the ocean.

At the same time, when it sank, it destroyed the home on which they lived and the foundation for their continued survival...... It's really a cruel reincarnation.

Seeing the little thing eat so happily, I suddenly felt a little pitiful because it had no idea what kind of future it was going to face.

"With good wisdom, you will be more desperate in the face of desperate situations......

I have to say that appearance is justice, if Ethan encounters a monster that is extremely ugly or huge and not a good thing at first glance, I'm afraid he will think that this thing should die early, so as not to run out and be scary.

Like the cat-like animal in front of him, he is so cute when he holds the magic stone and gnaws on it, and after knowing that it is destined to a tragic end, he will feel pity in his heart.

"If you don't take it away, I'll be on the boat anyway. ”

Ethan saw that the little thing was full and wanted to run after replenishing enough energy, so he rushed over and picked it up, holding it in his hand so that it had no way to break free.

"Don't worry, you'll mess with me in the future. ”

The little thing originally looked desperate, but when he heard this, he just listlessly gave a 'believe in you to have a ghost' expression, and then continued to maintain his desperate face.

"Don't put on that face, you know, I'm saving you. ”

The little thing once again put on a 'believe in you', and then returned to a desperate face.

Ethan didn't bother to explain endlessly, but it soon understood that he was really saving it.

In the days that followed, Ethan built a makeshift camp on the island, using the trees on the island, because the texture of the wood was really good, Ethan eventually overcame all kinds of difficulties and moved some wood to the Aurora, in addition to being able to sell, he sometimes needed some high-quality wood to make things.

Ethan spends most of his time collecting magic stones. The open-pit mine, which was completely exposed to the ground, gave Ethan a lot less trouble, so he collected ore quickly, and it only took a short time to fill the hold of his Aurora.

Even stuff the magazines of those magic stone cannons, so that the cannons on the Dawning Goddess will no longer be a bunch of ornaments, but real weapons that can be used against the enemy.

After filling the cabins of the Aurora, Ethan did not leave directly, but continued to live on the island, using the island's abundant magic stone mines to conduct various experiments on magic stones every day.

He had already incorporated magic stones into the technical system he mastered, but the reserves of magic stones in his hands before were too small, and he didn't dare to mess around at all, and he could only use magic stones according to general means in the absence of a large number of tests.

It's just that he studied and studied, and found that the best role of magic stones is still to provide energy, and it is far better to use them directly than to use them to provide energy for a certain equipment, and it is no wonder that the most common equipment in this world is magic stone equipment...... Magic stone technology, etc., the magic stone always plays the role of an energy source.

"It doesn't seem that the people of this world are too stupid, but that there really is no better direction. ”

Turning his head to look, the little guy no longer wanted to run away. Because it found that it could eat bigger and better magic stones around Ethan, and it didn't need to dig them out of the ground by himself, Ethan could dig magic stones much faster than it, and he could pick and choose what he liked to eat.

In this way, it sleeps when it is full and eats when it wakes up, so it feels very satisfied, and naturally no longer thinks about escaping.

At this time, it was lying on Ethan's table as usual, holding a fire attribute magic stone half the size of it in its arms, but after its ears suddenly twitched during its sleep, its originally closed eyes suddenly opened, and after twitching its nose a few times, it let out a low roar at the place behind Ethan.
