Chapter Ninety-Three: Jungle Crisis

Although the probes and the six squads scattered around the area did not find anything related to the mechanical civilization, the people were still heavily armed, and sometimes the indigenous flora and fauna were more difficult to deal with than the mechanical ones.

Sirin and his entourage were led by Dias to walk in the jungle. The reason why the planet looks green is because there are so many jungles. There are many and dense trees, many species have never been seen, the collection and analysis of plant species is done by detectors, and Xilin and his party will collect animal information according to the situation. You know, even if it's just information, as long as the species is special and has never been discovered, information about them will be worth a lot of money.

The result of sensor sensing is displayed on the mask, and the surrounding air humidity, air temperature, and air pressure are displayed.

Birds flew over the woods, they were very fast, and through the instantaneous capture and analysis of the images, it can be known that these birds resemble eagles, but they are slightly different, and their calls are high and low, sharp or low, long and short.

Stepping on the thick fallen leaves on the ground, the group walked carefully.

Cillin loosened his mask and breathed in the air around him, discerning the mixed breath in the air.

The main tree species in the woods is a large tree that has never been seen before, and Dias cut down a large tree that grows relatively well, and the hardness of the tree is very good, which would be suitable if it was used in some manufacturing industry. Its growth rings can be seen from the transverse surface of the trunk incision, which are dense and there are not many intervals between each round. Dias sends the cross-sectional tree-ring image to the aircraft, and then the people on the aircraft transmit the information to the starship outside the planet, and there will be special personnel to collect and analyze it.

"Yo, the flowers on that tree are beautiful." Someone said.

Not far away there was a tree, not too tall but very thick, about five meters in the center, but the diameter of the trunk was about one meter. There are many branches, like open wings distributed on both sides, the leaves are thick, and there are some small dark brown dots on the trunk of the tree, one vertical strip after another.

Strangely enough, there are some cane-like things on the trunk of the tree, one end of which is attached to the trunk, and the other end is a bright red and white flower.

The red and white petals seem to be made up of a thin layer of scales, and the sporadic light that falls from the leaves above shines on the flowers, reflecting them like the bright stars shining in the universe, and just looking at them makes you feel the urge to reach out and pick them.

Xilin sniffed the air and there was a slight smell of licking, like a temptation, if it was an ordinary person, without a mask, he would definitely not be able to resist this temptation and walked forward.

Although the flowers are beautiful, but no one stepped forward, although those flowers make people have a sense of amazement at first sight, but, based on experience, the more bewitching the flowers, the more hidden murderous intentions.

Carry cut down another section of the tree that Dias had cut down and threw it at the tree. Almost at the moment when this section of the trunk touched a flower, the surrounding branches that opened like wings closed together with lightning speed, imprisoning the "prey", and at the same time, in the swishing sound, Xilin and others saw that a row of spikes pierced the trunk.

Those spikes were the dark brown dots that had been seen earlier on the trunk. And this series of reactions can be seen that these arrangements are simply a natural trap!

The group shuddered, the hardness of the trunk was very good, but those spikes pierced it as easily as poking tofu, which showed its extraordinary hardness.

Dias waved his hand, and the group continued on their way.

The more people walked, the more they had a strange feeling, except for a small number of lethal plants, this forest is actually quite safe, and there are not many poisonous plants, but, except for some small insects, it is inevitably too quiet, this quiet is not to say that the sound is quiet, after all, there are occasional insects flapping their wings and flying birds in the sky from time to time that are obscured by more and more dense branches. This kind of silence means that after walking in this forest for so long, I haven't seen a single slightly larger animal!

Rabbits, monkeys, wild boars, rats, and nothing I saw! Based on past experience, the group also looked for some places where there might be animal caves, but there was still none!

There are no animals in such a good environment? Impossible, I have seen several large and ferocious animals in some images taken around the planet by probes in space before, and it can be said that although this planet has not developed a mechanical civilization, the evolution of species has also evolved to a relatively high level.

Dias was puzzled in his heart, and he had an inexplicable sense of crisis. He had always trusted his instincts, and their instincts told him that the situation was bad. They were now deep into the woods, and the further they went, the more they felt a large mouth waiting for them.

As they pondered, the sensor sounded an alarm, and through the scanning area displayed on the mask, everyone noticed that there were some things coming towards them, more than thirty of them, three times their number, and very fast.

Without Diasto speaking, the crowd formed a formation, their weapons ready.

Closer, even without a facial scanner, you can hear the sound of those things running and their abrupt growl.

Bang bang!

The crowd fired before they were fully in sight, and it would be too late to wait until they actually saw it.

Everyone is an experienced hunter, even the new members like Xilin, Badao and Xiaoshang have a lot of experience, so in this case, there is no panic in the slightest, the hand holding the gun is very steady, the accuracy is also very good, there is the signal positioning on the mask, not to mention 100%, 99% is absolutely achievable, and the display of the heat signal allows them to grab that gap and shoot when those things are not blocked by thick trees.

Minimizing the waste of ammunition was what they had learned over the years, but this time they had to do it, because they didn't die after a shot hit those things, and although there was a moment of stagnation, they were still full of momentum, and it seemed that they wouldn't give up and sprint this way until they took their last breath.

Dias did the math, it only took about five bullets to kill one, he could be sure that he had hit those things in the head every time, but they didn't die, they didn't really stop until the fourth, fifth bullet, maybe dead, Dias wasn't sure.

Depending on the speed of those things, the gap of four or five bullets was enough to get them a lot closer to this side, not to mention that there were only twelve people on their side, and not everyone could kill three of them before they could rush over.

Cillin had already killed two, and his bullets were fired so fast that others suspected that the kid was wasting ammo.

In fact, according to the heat signature, if the thing is not blocked by the tree, even if it is only for a moment, Cillin will shoot, and he even calculates the speed of the bullet and the speed of the thing's running, which is almost accurate. And Cillin locked three at the same time, and when the others killed one, he was already hitting the third.

Finally, the first one jumped out of the bushes and was shot by Xilin and Xiaoshang almost at the same time, probably before being shot, and the thing was shot twice before and died.

He didn't have time to take a closer look at these things, and with just a quick glance, Dias knew why these guys were so resistant.
