Chapter 8: Humans and Beasts
"Damn...... It's a place like this again! β
It was a white man with curly hair and messy hair, shirtless, a pair of surprisingly fat, torn pants underneath, and no shoes.
If this kind of embarrassment appears in the slums of this country, it is quite reasonable.
But this is the depths of the Amazon rainforest in the "forbidden land for humans", and it is simply boring for an ordinary person who is quite sturdy, but obviously bookish, to appear here.
"The first thing to do is to find the water source......
The man took a big breath, his expression was decadent, but there was not much anxiety, and it seemed that this was not the first time he had encountered such a situation.
He exhaled slowly, carefully discerning the sound of running water, and although the Amazon River lurked with terrifying piranhas, caimans, and forest bugs, he didn't seem worried.
The bearded face was followed by a bland and somewhat indifferent expression.
He didn't care if he made it out of the rainforest alive.
No, it doesn't mean to die.
It's the danger of the rainforest, which doesn't seem to him to be worth mentioning.
Strong self-confidence and great frustration seemed to be intertwined with the back of his staggering forward.
"Rustling ......"
Bruce Banner stopped.
He held his trousers in one hand and a thick twig for pathfinding in the other, and he shook his head with a wry smile.
"So fast this time...... It's not far from the river. β
The thick old trees in front of Banner had fallen into thin vines, and the thickest of them were slowly swimming towards them......
It was a giant snake thicker than his thigh!
It's already close to the riverbank, and this environment is loved by the forest python, known as the "king of the swamp".
However, it was the first time that Banner had encountered such a thick one.
"Roaring ......"
A low roar sounded, Banner frowned, there was a forest snake in front of him, and a jaguar appeared in the back?
The existence of the two major food chains in the Amazon rainforest has been met all at once, and this time I am afraid that there will be a big fuss again.
"Knock, knock, knock......"
As his heart beat faster, Banner clutched his chest and took a deep breath:
"No...... Wait, you have to go to the river to find a human settlement along the river......"
This wasn't the first time Banner had encountered such a situation, and he pursed his lips and continued towards the river, ignoring the threat behind himβthough he clearly underestimated how delicious he was.
The jaguar seemed to be enraged by his ignorance, wouldn't it be nice if the guy in front of him, who didn't seem to have to go through the trouble of tearing his fur, was preempted by the stink worm?
So it attacked decisively!
In the next moment, with an earth-shattering roar, the king of the Amazon rainforest, the predator jaguar at the top of the food chain, flew out upside down like a rag doll.
Before he could howl, the poor little man was hit in the chest with a thick green fist, and his ribs were broken.
So it spurted blood from its mouth and fainted neatly.
"Whewββ!!!"
Hulk punches the jaguar away, and then grabs the scrambled to escape.
"Shhh
The forest worm wails in pain, when has it ever seen such a two-legged animal that treats it like a whip for a rainforest king??!
"Boom!!"
Hulk frantically whipped the vines and tree trunks in front of him with his Mori Bug Leather Whip, and the huge snake body more than six meters long fell apart under the terrifying force.
But suddenly, the frantically whipping Hulk stopped.
He tossed aside the moribund, already dying, and turned to look warily at the clearing next to the bushes.
There was nothing there, but Hulk's wild instincts told him that there was something there!
And...... Can pose a threat to yourself!
After a few seconds, Hulk got impatient, and he took a sharp step and slapped his hands hard!
"Boom ββ!!"
The fierce wind pressure plowed the clearing hard, and the invisible finally revealed its true face......
"Shet! This trick is a scoundrel! β
Oakes was almost blown away by a slap from the Hulk, but it was a few tangled roots that wrapped around his limbs to hold him in place.
But stealth can't be done, and they all go into battle.
Seeing that it was another leopard, Hulk snorted coldly and stepped forward with a punch!
Maybe Banner wonders why the rainforest has cheetahs that are supposed to inhabit the grasslands, but Hulk doesn't care.
But in the next moment, his green eyes widened.
"Boom ββ!!"
A huge bear paw slammed into his fist, and the wind pressure that stirred up cleared a clearing!
"Enough ......"
An eager look flashed in his eyes, Oakes has been dormant for all these years, and he also wants to see how strong he can be in this Amazon rainforest, which is called his home turf!
And the power legend in front of you, Hulk, is the best litmus test!
Oaks' bear form is the largest bear on Earth, the Kodiak brown bear.
However, unlike the real Kodiak brown bear, which can only reach a maximum length of more than three meters and weighs one ton, the Oakes, which has the blessing of the force of nature, has reached an astonishing four meters in form and weighs two tons!
In this state, Oakes and Hulk are simply in the same pattern.
The same super defense, the same super strength, the same wild intuition, the same growth-
The more you are beaten, the more angry you get.
The higher the rage, the stronger the combat power.
So, in the heart of the Amazon rainforest, two behemoths launched a primitive and wild power contest!
Hulk's fists are as powerful as cannonballs, and he occasionally uses tree trunks and rocks as weapons.
And although Oakes' bear form can't use weapons, his pair of claws strengthened by the power of nature is the strongest weapon!
The fur as hard as steel blessed by the power of nature makes the Hulk feel like he is even hitting a pegboard!
The Hulk can quickly break away from the battlefield with great bounce power, and Oaks can also charge at any time to interrupt Hulk's momentum!
In terms of attack power, Oaks is obviously inferior to Hulk, but in terms of defense and dodge, it is surpassed.
Coupled with the application of natural magic, various vines entangle, stun, short-term defense enhancement, and special roars that shake the opponent's spirit and weaken the opponent's attack power......
The green humanoid beast, and the brown beastoid human, poured out their fiery fury on each other.
Hulk's physical strength is infinite, and Oakes can also use rage to restore physical strength, this battle is hearty!
Day passed, night fell, and the sun rose, and in the blink of an eye, this wild battle lasted for almost a day and a night!
A kilometer radius of rainforest has been completely destroyed, and looking down from the sky, you can see the place where they fought, almost as if it had been plowed by the fire of the main battle tank!
Unsheltered by the rainforest, the rays of the morning sun awakened two monsters with near-infinite physical endurance β and they had already gotten carried away.
Since ancient times, the kings of the rainforest, the overlord predators at the top of the food chain, have long since fled with their lives.
For many years to come, this woodland will be a lingering shadow for them.
Two figures full of wild power bathed in the morning sun, quietly confronting each other, and for a while, the air seemed to be about to freeze.
