Chapter 7: The First Encounter with the Beast Tide

Su Donglai stood on a hill, looking at the spaceship twenty kilometers away, and still had a feeling of shock in his heart. Even though it was twenty kilometers away from the spaceship, even if half of the spacecraft sank into the ground, the spaceship was still a lot higher than the surrounding mountains at a height of four kilometers above the ground, which definitely showed the strength of human intelligence.

Ten wild mastiffs, in an environment of ten times the gravity, also appear to be sluggish, but these genetically recombined mastiffs are much stronger than the native products on the earth, coupled with the overweight environment and digital training methods, they have actually basically adapted to the native, but the bacterial community of the digestive system has not yet adapted to the native species and cannot be digested directly.

Only through a cultivated strain that absorbs the energy from rotting animal flesh and grows into a flesh-red mushroom, which is then eaten by wild mastiffs.

Tightening his backpack, he waved his hand to summon a group of mastiffs, set the transport robot into mountain mode, and began to walk towards the depths of the jungle.

Five days later, Su Donglai was already 200 kilometers away from the earth warehouse, and occasionally looked back, the seventy-eight-kilometer-long spaceship was like a fairy palace floating in the sky, towering high on the top of the mountains. Thinking of his grandfather, aunt, mother and other relatives in the spaceship, Donglai felt full of strength again, and pulled out a simple spear from a vole the size of a puppy, threw the prey aside, opened the electronic map, compared the surrounding terrain, and took a big stride and walked forward.

Two hours later, Su Donglai had come to the bottom of the valley from the halfway up the mountain, the entire valley floor was full of rocks and there was not much vegetation, but Su Donglai always had a strange feeling, and always felt that something had been ignored by himself.

Su Donglai searched and moved forward, while thinking, yes, hoof prints! Whether it is the moss edge under the rocks or the gravel under the ditch, there are hoof prints. This is a passage for animal migration, Su Donglai couldn't help but laugh dumbly. This is a normal phenomenon on earth, but I have never seen it, and it is rare and strange.

Suddenly, the leather rope in his hand tightened, Su Donglai looked down, and the wild mastiff was all lying on the ground, with neck hair standing up, and his waist and back slightly arched.

Su Donglai hurriedly bowed down, listened to it, and there was nothing abnormal, so he quickly took out the life detector and looked at it, startled, it was a cheetah.

This is a carnivore similar to the cheetah on the earth, smaller than the cheetah, similar to the average dog, but the body is longer than the cheetah, the running speed is very amazing, the bite of the mouth is very amazing, when the Oriental wolf was making the roster of animals of the new star, it was directly called a cheetah.

At the bottom of the valley two kilometers wide, Su Donglai is in the middle of the valley next to a stream, life detection shows that there are about 30 more cheetahs, divided into two teams, on both sides of the valley floor, lined up in two columns, are slowly moving forward, the front cheetah, both sides have exceeded Su Donglai three or four kilometers, every two cheetahs are 800 to 1,000 meters apart, the farthest one is more than 10 kilometers away from Su Donglai, in the middle of the two teams of cheetahs, there are four or five cheetahs, in the middle of the two columns, That is, the middle area of the valley floor, smelling in the east and planing in the west, seems to be searching for something, and the nearest one is less than two hundred meters away from Su Donglai.

Su Donglai knew that this animal chased its prey, the speed and lethality were very amazing, two hundred meters, as long as a dozen ups and downs, it would pounce in less than five seconds, and five seconds was not enough to start and sprint by himself.

According to the experience of the Oriental wolf in observing and studying animals for more than ten years, combined with the knowledge on the earth, Su Donglai immediately realized two points: first, what these animals are preparing, probably should be, they are preparing to hunt. Second, animals are generally not interested in food that they don't like, just like lions on the earth are not interested in ants on the ground, the smell of themselves and mastiffs is different from the species here, and the other party may not be able to smell it, as long as they don't move and don't show hostility, the other party should not take the initiative to attack themselves, otherwise even if they hide in the transport robot, they can't withstand the claws of these animals.

In the life detector, the infrared image of the cheetah is getting closer and closer to him, Su Donglai looked left and right, it was too late, although there was a better hiding place in the distance, but it couldn't go, there was a big stone near the water a few meters away on the left, and there was a pit on the side of the back water, which people could hide into.

At this time, it was late autumn, and the wind blowing from the depths of the valley was already cold, but Su Donglai didn't feel cold at all, and a trace of sweat appeared on his forehead due to the high degree of tension.

Su Donglai sat on the back of the boulder with his legs bent, his back pressed tightly against the stone wall, and he quickly adjusted his breathing, loosened the belts on the ten mastiffs in front of him, and stared closely at the life detector on his knees.

A cheetah showed its head among the gravels a few meters away, and glanced at Su Donglai unhurriedly, only at this moment, Su Donglai felt that the world had stopped, but the cheetah just looked at him, and looked away indifferently, then sniffed and looked, and continued to walk this way.

Bypassing a stone, the cheetah suddenly seemed to have found something, jumped suddenly, and rushed straight towards Su Donglai, Mr. Donglai was helpless, so he had to pull out the ancestral kitchen knife and put it in front of his face with both hands, hoping to resist it.

The strong wind of the cheetah pounced, so that Su Donglai's eyes could not be opened, a gust of wind swept in front of him, but there was no pain in the whole body, there was a sound next to him, he opened one eye slightly, Su Donglai saw: a few meters away from the stream on the left, there is a half-human tree, among the sparse yellow leaves, there are more than a dozen pomegranate-sized fruits, red, at this time, the cheetah, is using its long tail to poke those fruits.

A heart eased slightly, Su Donglai still didn't dare to move, and the ten mastiffs also lay on the ground, not daring to move, only the cheetah was there poking the fruit with its tail one by one.

It seemed that the tree was poisonous, the cheetah's tail was very flexible, and it did not want to touch anything except the red fruit, and after a quarter of an hour, only three of the fruits on the small tree were removed, and the cheetah seemed to no longer get it, and picked up the fruit with its claws to a flat ground by the tree, and smashed the fruit with its front paws, and the red juice splashed out, and a peculiar fragrance came out.

Su Donglai's heart beat violently, for a long time, the people of the earth warehouse have been looking for a suitable food source, due to the difference in genetic composition, there has been no major progress, the fragrance of this fruit can be smelled, which proves that its genetic composition is the same as that of species on earth, or, at least, it is approximate.

After the cheetah smashed the fruit, it still didn't pay attention to Su Donglai, who was close at hand, and even ignored the wild mastiffs that were similar to its size, but the juice of those fruits, as if it was very annoying, rubbed the front paws stained with juice on the ground, and ran into the stream, jumping vigorously in the water until the juice marks on the paws disappeared completely, and then went ashore, shook their fur, and slowly walked to the depths of the valley, and the other cheetahs did not pay attention to Su Donglai, He continued to walk unhurriedly, and soon disappeared into the depths of the valley.

The peculiar aroma of the juice lingered in the air for a long time, and Su Donglai smelled this fragrance for a long time, and he actually felt slightly drunk. After seeing from the life detector that those cheetahs were indeed far away, they quickly ran to the small tree and observed carefully.

This little tree is so ordinary, dark brown bark, tiny branches, and leaves similar to maple leaves, it is difficult to say what kind of tree on earth it resembles. Su Donglai took out a spectrum analyzer probe, inserted the tail end into the life detector, and converted the mode of the life detector to the analysis mode, and then carefully dipped the probe part with a little red fruit juice, and after a while, the results were displayed.

Most of the fruit is made up of ordinary matter on new stars, that is, DNA is organic matter with multiple helix structures, but there are also some organic matter with double helix, quadruple helix, and even hexahelix structure. After testing several fruits separately, Su Donglai found that the proportion of organic matter in each fruit with double helix structure is different, and the more ripe it is, the higher the proportion of double helix structure substances.

Su Dongnan immediately turned on the communication system and got in touch with Dongfang Wolf, who could use the spectral map transmitted back and the large computer on the earth warehouse to make some corresponding speculations: this fruit contains a special enzyme, which can make some substances with multiple helix structure degenerate and decompose, and eventually become the lowest double helix structure substance. This enzyme is highly toxic to most species of the new star, which is also a kind of protection for this small tree!

According to the instructions of the base, Su Donglai transferred three small drones from the transport robot, each loaded with three freshly picked fruits, and returned to the base. He sat down behind the boulder again, talked to the communicator, and talked to his grandfather about what he had seen outside.

Suddenly, Su Donglai felt the ground shake slightly, and soon, there was a rumbling sound in the distance of the valley, very light, very heavy, but very clear.

An ominous feeling spread in Su Donglai's heart, he looked at his watch, it was already more than six o'clock in the afternoon, and there was still more than half an hour, and it was completely dark, and now he needed to find the camp immediately, set up the tent, set up the cordon, and prepare to spend the night.

Su Donglai quickly picked the remaining more than ten small fruits on the tree, whistled after wrapping them, and rushed to the transport robot three hundred meters away with ten wild mastiffs.

However, before he could rush in front of the transport robot, the robot had already issued a danger warning: there were groups of animals more than ten kilometers in front and behind, rushing along the valley and rushing towards this side, please choose the corresponding measures.

At this time, the sound was already deafening, Su Donglai looked back, in the distance of the valley, there was already dust in the sky, in front of the dust, countless animals, are rushing forward, in the blink of an eye, the distance between animals and Su Donglai, is less than a kilometer.
