Swish!

A petite gray shadow galloped through the jungle, bringing with it a whirling breeze. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Knock bang! Knock bang!

A heavy and dense burst of footsteps sounded, followed by dozens of tall and strong brown figures, persevering, every step they fell, the ground trembled slightly, and the large earth at the mouth of the bowl flipped over, but in terms of speed, it was still slower than the gray shadow in front.

"Sokta!"

The brown figures were naturally the pursuers of the forest clan, roaring at an indeterminate syllable as they hurled their spears at Natsu in front of them, or shot wooden arrows with crudely crafted bows in an attempt to slow her run.

However, the gray shadow in front of her seemed to have eyes on its back, whether it was a spear or a wooden arrow, she turned around and dodged it at the last moment, and the situation was not dangerous.

The grey shadow ran and jumped through the jungle, her feet alternating between the ground and the branches, avoiding all obstacles as fast as she could, and even occasionally looking back to observe the pursuers behind her.

"Hmm... This bunch of maniacs... It's really tenacious......"

Although Xia had simply learned how to hide her whereabouts in the forest, she knew that it would be almost impossible to do so in such a fierce chase! Not to mention, she was still chasing by a group of extremely good predators who had been living in this forest?

Therefore, Xia didn't think about hiding from them on the trail, she had no doubt that these strong and fierce predators could even exhaust a strong running buck alive in the forest chase!

For this group of predators, once they follow the traces left by their prey, it is almost determined that the prey cannot run away from their hands, unless they themselves voluntarily give up the pursuit of their prey.

However, want to get them to give up?

No one knows their patience and perseverance better than she does now.

Xia's current situation is equivalent to a prey that has been tracked by this group of tough predators, and they have even taken her into sight!

However, even so, Xia didn't worry too much, because she knew that she was not completely dead.

The best way to hide a grain of sand is to put it in a desert. And the best way to hide a drop of water is to drop it into a vast ocean.

Therefore, Xia, who understands this truth, does not think about how to remove or hide the traces she left behind, and even consciously leaves the traces of her whereabouts along the way more obvious and clear.

Yes, she was consciously adjusting the direction and trajectory of her escape, taking this group of predators of the forest clan around in a large circle in this wide forest.

Everything, just as she had planned!

As time passed, once the trajectories of her escape were set to end, the persevering predators would find that their prey had been lost, and that traces of its whereabouts were everywhere, and it was impossible to find even the source of the traces and the tail of it.

However, everything was unexpected, and only about halfway through the plan, Xia sensed a hint of danger.

She found that the predators' chase style had changed, and it was no longer the one-way chase that they had started with.

Probably you've encountered a lot of cunning prey before, right? The group of predators also became more intelligent, when they found that they could not catch up with her for a long time, this group of forest creatures actually began to consciously adjust the way they chased, in the unknown roar of several forest creatures, they were like wolves hunting, gradually divided into three groups, leaving only one group to follow her, straight line pursuit, the other two groups of predators tried to make a long detour to form a trap on her, in order to tighten and shrink her escape route, so that at the right time, she could be cornered and give her the final fatal blow。

Even, the three groups of predators can replace each other, complement each other, and chase tactics are fierce and dangerous.

After perceiving this, Xia's brows couldn't help frowning slightly, because the actions of this group of predators had affected the implementation of her escape plan.

If this continues, her pre-set escape route will not be able to form a circle like a maze array!

"Hmm......"

As she ran, she watched the movements of the forest people with the rest of her eyes, clarifying their tactics and ideas, and soon she found a way to crack them.

That is, kill!

For the prey of the chased side, it generally has no frontal resistance to the predator behind it, otherwise there is no need to run for its life.

However, she is different!

After all, she is not one of those weak prey who has no power to resist.

She's got a gun in her hand, and it's a long-range, powerful attack, and she's able to crack the hunting tactics of the predators!

Bang!

On the run, she fired.

Although there were some deviations in the accuracy of her shots, any obstacles that affected her intended escape route, the predators who tried to contain the trap and compress her escape route and direction, were killed by her one without mercy.

The forest hunters were undoubtedly even more furious and angry at the prey's rebellious move, and they roared again and again.

But she didn't care about it, and silently continued to carry out her plan.

Finally, the planned circle was completed, and she, because of the sudden acceleration of her escape, chased after a while, and finally completely disappeared from the sight of the pursuers.

"Audaratak... Deta'o Souda ......"

Faced with a jumble of footprints and traces that had no clue and could not track their prey, the forest hunters finally stopped, and after a long period of unwilling roaring and venting in the forest, they finally gave up, and they carried the corpses of their companions whom she had killed with their revolvers, and left in despair.

The forest, which had been lively for a long time, finally calmed down, and all around was silent, silent.

I don't know how long later, suddenly, the roots of a large tree, the clumps of roots beneath it, suddenly made a subtle rustling sound, and a rotten mossy piece of the tree peeled off, and the dead leaves turned up, revealing a petite gray figure hiding behind it.

This girl is naturally summer.

Her expression did not relax in the slightest, and after carefully coming out of the cover, she quickly climbed onto the branches of the great tree, carefully concealed her figure, and began to observe her surroundings.

It took a moment for her to breathe a sigh of relief when she confirmed that the forest creatures had really left.

"Whew...... It's tough!"

In fact, her plan was not an easy one, and she took the group of predators around the forest several times, and even the bullets consumed nearly half of the number.

Fortunately, after losing a lot of their companions, the forest clan finally learned to give up, otherwise, she didn't know how long she would have to be entangled with these guys.

"Well, that's probably the direction, right?"

After carefully identifying the direction between her position and the ruins, Natsu jumped from the tree branch to the ground, patted her cloak with both hands, shook off some of the dust and dirt on it, and decided to go home.

"Fortunately, my sense of direction is not bad, and I haven't been dizzy......"

This time, she muttered to herself, carefully handling the marks she left behind as she walked, until she was sure that she would not be exposed.

To be honest, she didn't want another marathon run away from the predators of the forest.

......

On the other hand, as she made her way towards the ruins, the forest tribes who had chased her returned to their habitats.

They carried the bodies of their comrades who had been shot and laid them out neatly in front of a wooden tent in the center of their dwelling, and they roared and wailed in unison, and the wooden tent looked more stable and large than the other rudimentary tents made of wood and hides.

Soon, a much older-looking forest clan came out of the wooden beast skin tent, and its appearance made the many wailing forest clans even more excited.

The elder forest man looked different from the rest of his kind, holding a strange short staff in his hand, a set of wolf skins with a full wolf head, and on either side of its neck, a long unnamed beast tusk, bare brown skin, and a strange stripe of streaks, as if painted with an unknown crimson thing, very strange.

"Ankubaras Voda... Detao... Smell Karasokta!"

The old forest clan seemed to be startled by the corpses of the dead people in front of it, and then it raised its short staff in its hand and screamed with all its might, shouting a long string of strange syllables.

With this strange act, the forest people who had been wailing seemed to become invigorated, and they also roared in unison, their eyes red.

Immediately afterward, the old forest creature turned and re-entered the wooden tent, and when it came out, it had a bone knife made of beast teeth and the cranial skull of an unknown beast filled with a bright red liquid. It took the bone knife and cut off the left ear from the dead corpses one by one, dipped them in the bright red liquid of the skull, and then, using the ears as a pen, stained with the bright red liquid, began to paint on the corpses of the same kind.

Soon, the corpses of the forest people were covered in a number of strange stripes similar to the ones on their bodies.

"Sowalker Badata ......"

When it was finished, the elder forest clan commanded the forest clan in the prime of life, lifted the corpses of their fellow forest with a wooden shelf, and walked out with him to the outside of the forest clan's dwelling.

After walking for a long time, the forest clans came to a huge dark cavern, and then they laid down the corpses of their fellow people and placed them at the entrance of the cave one by one.

The forest creatures in their prime all knelt down, their hands on the ground, and made a strange gesture of worship.

The old forester, on the other hand, began to dance in front of the entrance of the cave in a very strange manner, holding its short staff in his hand, and some of his hands danced.

An indescribable strange aura began to emerge and entangle on the body of this old forest clan, giving people a very cold feeling.

Whether it's the prime-aged forest people or this old one, they all shout the same syllable in unison---

"Oktara!"

Their shouts resounded through the forest.

Hiss!

I don't know how long later, suddenly, a strange voice came from the depths of the huge dark cavern, from far and near, as if it was responding to the call of these forest people, hissing.

After a while, a huge head stretched out of the cave, and when you looked closely, it was a huge snake, its mouth was constantly swallowing long snake letters, and a pair of cold huge vertical pupils stared at the forest clan who kept worshipping it at the entrance of the cave, and its eyes were scanned, extremely cold.

By this time, the old forest clan had stopped its strange dance, and it held its short staff in both hands, and shouted a long, strange phrase of syllables at the serpent, and the strange and cold aura that wrapped around its body became more solemn.

Hiss!

The serpent finally moved again, but it didn't make a move on the forest people after all, it turned its head to look at the corpses of the forest people placed at the entrance of the cave, its head lowered, its bloody mouth wide open, and it swallowed them one by one as easily as it swallowed a snack.

For this behavior of the giant serpent, the living forest clans did not show any anger at the offending corpses of their kind, but instead showed excited and fanatical expressions one by one.

"Oktara!

The creatures of the forest shouted louder, and they bent down to worship the serpent.

Hiss!

After devouring all the corpses of the forest clan, the giant snake that poked its head out of the huge cavern spat out a long letter, and its scales glowing with cold light began to writhe, and it slowly slid out of the huge cavern...... (To be continued.) )
