The next day, on the outskirts of French Fries Harbor, a jungle regiment carrying chainsaws and blasters was on duty.

Although the wild vegetation in the forest has stopped, the danger has not been completely eliminated.

In particular, the wildly expanding vegetation has alarmed the xenospecies that are active in the area, causing the danger factor in the area around the port of french fries to skyrocket.

Several patrolling drones even spotted a large carnivorous xenomorph with a danger level of 60 in the forest!

These dangerous xenospecies, which were originally active deep in the forests deep inland, are now attracted to the vicinity of the port of fries due to the migration of the herd.

This situation is also beyond the control of the brood in the forest, and it cannot directly command a particular xenomorph where to go.

Several gates to the Inland are currently closed, and only players and those with passes can enter and exit.

In fact, at this juncture, with the exception of the Ranger Squad of the Jungle Corps, there are hardly many players who will explore the depths of the forest at this time.

After all, even if you don't really die in the game, death punishment is enough of a headache.

However, even though the official website and VM have raised the danger factor and recommended level of this area, there are still players who don't believe in this evil, and where the danger goes.

For example, at this moment, there are three young players in their early 20s standing at the door of the sentry card.

The NPC officer on duty checked their VMs and confirmed that all three were Vault residents.

However, seeing that they looked stunned, he still reminded them out of kindness.

"The current recommended level of the map has been temporarily raised to level 40, and the player's level is 10 levels lower than the recommended level, and the insurance of the lower 20 levels will only pay a quarter, you have figured it out."

The lead player said with a smile.

"See clearly, brother."

The other two players shouted as well.

"We don't have to worry about you."

"We're responsible."

Hearing this group of people say this, the NPC didn't say much, made an approved mark on their VM, and then gave a military salute in awe.

"Go ahead, good luck."

[Team: I just want to be a dog quietly, I just want to be a quiet dog, and I am so handsome that I drop frames.] (Approved!) ）】

After completing the map registration, the leading captain returned the salute with a smile, and then rushed into the forest with the two brothers behind him, for fear that the baby would be preempted.

Seeing the three of them disappear into the forest, the officer couldn't help but look at the brethren of the jungle regiment on the side.

"Are they okay?"

The guy dressed in a tin can is also a veteran player, and he can guess with his feet what the idea of the three rookies is, and yawns.

"I guess I want to brush up on the contribution points, don't worry about them, just let them play by themselves."

Just taking a photo doesn't really add much to contribute, unless you get high-value specimens or dropped materials.

To put it simply, you have to do it.

These people are still too young, and they will come back to their senses after dying a few more times.

NPC Officer: "......"

On the other side, the three players who passed through the checkpoint had already gone deep into the jungle.

As the old player expected, the three stunned youths were all rushing to brush up on contribution points.

Now affected by this wave of plant growth, many xenos who were originally hiding in the depths of the forest have fled to low-level areas, but from another perspective, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

There is no similar opportunity to allow so many high-level xenos to appear in low-level areas!

In order to reduce the loss of equipment, they carried only LD-47 and a few white phosphorus bombs. As for the protective gear, there is only a stab-proof vest, and there is not even a basic exoskeleton.

This set of outfits can be said to be quite economical, to the extent that other players can tell at a glance that these guys don't plan to return to the save point alive.

However, as they continued to go deeper into the jungle, the group still involuntarily beat drums in their hearts.

"Why is it so quiet here?" Carefully searching the corners of the jungle, the [Dog Who Just wants to be quiet] who didn't speak all the way finally couldn't help muttering, "Didn't you raise the recommended level of the map, and there ......was no movement at all."

"Shut up and listen carefully." [I just want to be a dog quietly] glanced at him, and focused on guarding the surroundings, but the more this happened, the more panicked he became.

It's so wrong.

The map after the recommendation level has been raised is quieter than the previous map.

The xenomorphs that used to be active in this area have disappeared nowhere.

Or—

They hid.

Thinking of this, [I just want to be a dog quietly] only felt that my heart was pounding and my adrenaline was surging.

However, only half of the reason for his adrenaline rush was the thriller.

And the rest half is all surprises!

There is only one way to hide the xenomorphs in the entire forest-

Brush the boss around here!

Looking at the fanatical expression on the captain's face, the passer-by whose ID was [so handsome that it dropped frames] became more and more panicked.

He is the only perception player on the team, and although he is only in his 20s, he is still a passing grade as a scout.

However, even he couldn't sense the presence of xenos nearby......

In this way, there is only one explanation, the trouble they are facing at the moment is far beyond their strength!

"Brother, do you have a score in your heart, why do I feel a little panicked?"

[I just want to be a dog quietly] narrowed his eyes.

"Have you heard a word?"

[Handsome to drop frame] swallowed saliva.

"What ...... to say?"

[I just want to be a dog quietly] grinned and said viciously.

"The bigger the waves, the more expensive the fish!"

[I just want to be quiet]: "......"

[Handsome to drop frames] said with a sad face.

"Is it too late to quit the group?"

"It's too late!"

It's really too late.

At the moment when [I just want to be a dog quietly] said this, a suppressed roar suddenly came from the front of everyone.

"Roaring ——!"

The roar seemed to shake the whole forest, and even the earth trembled!

The three of them were startled, and before they could react, they saw more than a dozen black shadows rushing from the front.

The black shadow was about three meters long, resembling a cheetah, with sharp teeth turned out of its mouth, like two vertical sickles!

[Handsome to drop frames] recognized the identity of this alien species at a glance, and the whole person was shocked in an instant.

"Shadow Coyote! Level 30 xenomorphs—"

The name was given by the player who first discovered it, and it is usually active in the mountains 100 kilometers from the port of fries. With its sharp teeth that can bite through steel plates and the fact that it often hunts in groups, it can be dangerous even for Ranger Squads!

Before his exclamation fell, [I just want to be a dog quietly] had already raised the rifle in his hand, and the muzzle of the gun spewed out a long tongue of fire, shooting at the black shadows that rushed one after another.

"Don't any more levels, fire now!"

Sudden ——!

The scorching metal shrapnel unleashed a rain of death in the forest, slamming head-on into a shadow coyote emerging from the bushes, killing him instantly with a whiner.

The shuttle bullet hit the head with a critical hit.

"Well done nice ——!"

Seeing that the good brother single-handedly killed a level 30 shadow hunting coyote, [the dog who just wanted to be quiet] suddenly barked excitedly, and then took advantage of the chaos to pick up the human head, and swept towards the black shadow that was fleeing from east to west.

However, the good times were short-lived.

The death of his companion made the Shadow Coyote, who had been scattered and fleeing, realize the threat that was imminent!

The beast's instinct reminded them that if they didn't get rid of the two two-legged beasts in front of them first, they wouldn't have to wait for the predators chasing after them to catch up with them, they would have to die here first!

Prompted by the desire to survive, the wolf king who led the team howled, and the coyotes who had been running away in all directions actually gathered after dodging a round of strafing, and no longer ran away, but swarmed towards the stumbling blocks on the way to escape!

Looking at the black shadow that pounced up, [The Dog Who Just wanted to be quiet] was suddenly stupefied, and exclaimed "", and then freed his right hand to take the white phosphorus bomb on his waist.

However, before he could tear the white phosphorus bomb off his waist, a giant wolf more than three meters long rose into the air, bit his shoulder with a whimper, and swallowed his entire head into his throat.

Poof—

The sound of fangs breaking flesh and crunching bones mingled, and the hot blood sprayed two or three meters high, staining a broad-leaved dwarf wood bright red!

Inspired by the blood, the beast. Sex, the shadow coyote raised its head and howled, and then turned to the other dog next to it.

[I just want to be a dog quietly] The whole person was frightened stupid by this bloody scene, but fortunately, the movement of his hand did not stop, he tore off a white phosphorus bomb and threw it out.

The dazzling white light lit up instantly, and the beast subconsciously closed its eyes.

And at the same time, the scorching flames burst into the air with a little starlight, carrying a thick white smoke that scattered half of its body and ignited the hair on its body!

"Whew-"

The shadow hunting coyote let out a painful wail, and its three-meter-long body fell to the ground, struggling and rolling in the bushes, trying to extinguish the flames on its body.

What it didn't expect, however, was that the more it struggled, the more the flames surged! In just a few breaths, it burned all over its body!

Looking at the Shadow Hunter Coyote who was no longer moving, [I just want to be a dog quietly] didn't dare to take it lightly, and his right hand had already buckled the other two white phosphorus bombs, ready to strike again at any time.

And just as he was close at hand, three shadow hunting coyotes were staring at him with fierce eyes.

If it weren't for the sudden burst of fire, they would have swarmed up and tore it apart.

"Woo......"

The Shadow Coyote at the head of the hunt crouched, grabbing and rubbing against the ground, making a threatening sound from its mouth.

[I just want to be a dog quietly] is not to be outdone, staring straight at it with his eyes, and at the same time glancing carefully to the side, trying to seek help from his teammates, but seeing that the ugly frame drop is gone.

"...... Passers-by just can't be trusted. He complained in his heart, completely giving up the idea of relying on his teammates to help him get out of trouble.

But that's when things seemed to turn around.

The three Shadow Coyotes who were confronting him suddenly seemed to smell danger, their hair rose all over their bodies, and they roared and retreated a few steps back.

Then, without warning, they turned around and re-entered the bushes behind them.

After confirming that the voice of Xi Suo Suo really ran away, [I just want to be a dog quietly] breathed a sigh of relief and let go of the tense nerves in my body.

"...... It's been a bit of bad luck today. ”

I actually encountered a herd of migratory beasts, and it was a shadow hunting coyote!

However, what made him wonder in his heart was what it was that made these wild dogs who even dared to bite armored vehicles be afraid like this.

Just when he was confused, the roar of the earth shaking the mountains sounded again.

And unlike before, the roar was accompanied by a scorching wind.

The scorching air flow was like the snort of some giant beast, which made him tense the nerves of his whole body again for a moment, and he tore off two white phosphorus bombs and turned around.

However, the moment he turned around, he was stunned on the spot as if he had been struck by lightning.

It was a lizard about five or six stories tall.

It is covered in colorful scales, and its two large eyes are like the dial of a bell tower.

Standing half straight in the forest, it is like Godzilla, and every inch of the scales on its body exudes a suffocating coercion!

"It's ...... What the hell?! ”

[I just want to be a dog quietly] The whole person was dumbfounded, and for a while he even forgot to record this shocking moment with VM.

The lizard didn't seem to see him, just a slow step forward. And as he walked forward, the whole forest shook as if the mountains were shaking.

But at this moment, as if summoned by a voice, the lizard did not continue to move forward, but turned on the spot.

It doesn't matter if it doesn't turn around, this big ass twisted, and the tail as thick as a bucket suddenly swept like a sweeping long whip, scraping through the hundreds of meters wide woods in an instant.

"Sleep—"

[I just want to be a dog quietly] didn't have time to react, and before he even had time to scream, he was thrown out by the devastating tail, and disintegrated with countless crumbling sawdust in the air.

At the same time, [Handsome to Drop Frame], who dug a foxhole on the spot and stuck his head to the ground, survived.

He didn't know what he was thinking at the time, and the first thing he thought of when he saw the fleeing beasts was not to fire, but to instinctively find a place to hide.

Whether it was because of cowardice or because of the perceptual attributes, in short, he survived by luck.

Looking at the mess around him, his eyebrows couldn't help twitching violently.

"Mom...... Is this a typhoon?! ”

He smacked his tongue and lifted his head, but held his breath for a moment.

I saw a huge lizard standing in the middle of the messy woods, its crown-like head emitting a colorful light in the afternoon sun.

It's so huge, you might be like an ant when you put the garbage in front of it!

Dragon lizard!

The word "handsome" instantly popped up in my mind.

He raised his trembling hand, grabbed the camera headset next to his ear, and took several pictures of the incredible creature in a row, which he uploaded to the VM.

Data archiving.

Heterogeneous naming......

Get!

Looking at the "Named Successful" pop-up window popping up on the VM screen and the huge reward for unlocking the Pokédex, [Handsome to Drop Frames] finally breathed a sigh of relief, this adventure is worth the trip.

I'm afraid that a creature of this level is not something that a single player can hunt, so it will force the alliance to use strategic-level weapons.

Just when [so handsome that it dropped frames] patted the mud on his pants and was about to slip away from the neighborhood, he was quickly shocked by the scene in front of him.

I saw that just behind the crooked woods, a majestic giant tree was standing in the middle of the forest!

It didn't seem to be one tree, but a lot of different kinds of trees growing together!

It was the only lizard taller than the gigantic lizard in the entire woods.

Even more surprising was yet to come.

I saw that the huge dragon lizard came to the side of the majestic giant tree.

Like the latter's child, it snuggled up to the latter's side with its cockscomb-like head, licking the roots of the tree with the tip of its forked tongue and purring from its heaving cheeks.

Looking at that incredible scene, [so handsome that it dropped frames] lost his words for a while.

He suddenly remembered a post he had read on the official website forum.

It was the Ten Night's Men who wrote about the planet Gaia in the South Gate II system.

The giant tree seems familiar......

When he came back to his senses, his eyes widened for a moment.

"......"

Could this be......

The sacred tree of the Thomas?!

It's actually reproduced on Earth!
