Li Hua, an adolescent human with a kind heart who met an untimely demise, much like most protagonists in system-transmigration novels, was unexpectedly recruited by the Space-Time Administration af...
Chapter 154 Chapter 154 It’s not wild, it’s domesticated! …
"Don't worry, Li Hua must have just been a little excited. My reaction was even more exaggerated when I drew the Berserk Sumo game card I wanted."
In order to make his friend completely relieved, Benjamin patted his chest and made a promise.
"Don't worry. When I used the Kryptonians to clean up this area, I moved all the snakes, insects, rats and ants here somewhere else."
Of course Jason knew how much noise Benjamin usually made. This guy would jump up and cheer and scream excitedly when watching live games.
But to be honest, Jason thinks Benjamin is okay because he can make a lot of noise to attract attention. Li Hua sometimes keeps silent and suddenly makes a move, which can actually scare people.
For example, when they first started living together, one night Jason got up to go to the bathroom, and when he reached the foot of the stairs he saw a strange creature crawling, twitching, and writhing quietly on the living room floor.
At that time, Jason went back to the second floor, slapped Benjamin who was still sleeping, and went downstairs to check the situation.
Then I found out that it was Li Hua who stayed up late at night and crawled on the ground using his hands and feet to save electricity without turning on the lights. He also said that this was an exercise called "Opening the Dragon's Spine".
Jason wanted to ask, "You can exercise, but can you please turn on the light?", but when he turned around, he found that Benjamin was eager to try and climb with him.
.......Thinking of this, Jason couldn't help but feel relieved like Benjamin, and began to skillfully tease the ice ghost cub.
Li Hua usually does some abstract work from time to time, so this is nothing compared to him.
"Excuse me, this is the first time I've seen the actual scenes of the test points that I have to memorize in the textbook. I'm a little excited."
Li Hua quickly composed himself. Looking at the ice ghost cubs tilting their heads to observe the butterflies flapping their wings, he felt that his body and mind had been cleansed and purified.
"Ben, do you want to conjure up Swampfire? Aliens who can control plants would surely be more integrated into the plant kingdom than Earthlings. Perhaps you could even gain some insights into plant manipulation, and perhaps even turn Poison Ivy's vines against you next time."
"That's a great idea!" Jason said. "We can let the kids play hide-and-seek, and Swampfire will go find them."
This way, Benjamin not only plays with the child but also gains learning experience, killing two birds with one stone.
"You two are really smart," Benjamin praised, calling the children together. "I can't imagine anything better than this!"
.......
Ever since he could remember, he had been told that he had a glorious mission and needed to fight for it.
He started holding a sword before he learned to run, and started fighting before he learned to read. The name he was given was as noble as the mission he was given.
His mother and grandfather told him that his name was "Damian O. Gu".
"Damien," a Latin word meaning "conqueror," represents the man he will become, while "O.G," derived from the "Demon of the Desert" in Arabic legend, represents the great empire he will inherit.
Although Damian is only seven years old this year, he has completed many challenges in order to fulfill the mission given to him, and today is one of them.
Without any water supplies or guide, he needs to survive in this uninhabited rainforest for a week to prove his will and ability to his mother and grandfather.
This vast rainforest is home to some of the richest species in the world, but survival is also incredibly challenging. Not only must you be wary of predators like jaguars, crocodiles, and piranhas, but you must also be wary of poisonous creatures like snakes, spiders, and ants.
At the same time, due to the extremely high humidity and temperature, any small wound may cause serious infection, so Damian not only needs to avoid deadly creatures in the process of searching for water, but also be careful not to get hurt.
But the natural laws of the rainforest are cruel, and even in uninhabited areas, there are always reasons. Even though Damian had been very careful, he still twisted his left foot in the fight with the jaguar last night.
Thanks to the stone spear he had made earlier, although it was not as sharp as a metal knife, it was enough to make the beast realize that Damian was not a "prey" that could be taken down without any injury or even with minor injuries. After feeling the pain, it fled.
After the threat faded, Damian immediately checked his injuries.
The good news: His ankle injury wasn't serious, with no broken bones and no external injuries. It will heal quickly on its own if he doesn't do strenuous exercise in the next few days.
The bad news: Damian can't stay still for that long without food or water.
The Amazon rainforest is most active at night, so Damian stayed in the shelter he built with leaves, branches, stones and vines until the next day, then he went out to look for food and water, leaning on his swollen ankle and holding up his stone spear.
Due to his current condition and the lack of tools, Damian did not plan to go hunting. Instead, he slowly searched around for edible fruits he knew and dew on the leaves of some plants he was familiar with, slowly recovering his strength and condition.
The efficiency of doing this is imaginable, but it is better than nothing.
Just as Damian was about to knock the fruit off his head with gravel, he saw a flash of blue among the leaves.
In nature, blue is an extremely rare color. Animals and plants with this color are often either difficult to deal with or highly poisonous.
Damian hesitated for a moment, but did not pick up the fruit that had just fallen on the ground, and turned away from the tree.
Although it was not clear whether the blue he saw was the blue poison dart frog, a highly poisonous frog that lives in the Amazon rainforest and is active during the day, Damian did not want to take the risk to verify it, as the fruit was not only on that tree.
Not long after, Damian heard the rustling sound coming from the bushes above his head again, and it kept moving as he walked, and the noise became more and more frequent.
Something was targeting him, and it wasn't just one thing.
Damian realized this but didn't show any reaction. He just gripped the stone spear in his hand tighter and continued to move forward.
Fleeing without a fight and waiting to be slaughtered was not his style, nor was it the style he had been taught.
The vegetation here is too lush, blocking his vision and affecting his attack with the stone spear. Damian needs to find a place where it is more convenient to dig into the ground and fight back.
And judging from the movement and noise, the noise was not made by a large animal, but probably a group of curious monkeys.
Wild monkeys generally do not actively attack humans. The reason they are following Damian now may be that he has entered their territory. If the monkeys leave the area with dense vegetation, even if they do not leave, they will be exposed to Damian and their fighting ability will be restricted.
During the evacuation, Damian was also wary of the movements around him, so when he heard a sound coming from the grass in front of him on the left, Damian immediately stopped and assumed a fighting stance with a spear.
Unlike what Damian expected, what emerged from the bushes was not a monkey, and might not even be a mammal.
It was a hairless creature shaped like a moth, about the size of a human baby. The pair of antennae on its head and the two pairs of wings behind it that resembled both moths and butterflies were black and blue, and with the pair of green-silver eyes that occupied most of its head, it looked like some kind of insect.
"grumble."
The little blue creature didn't attack. It tilted its head to look at Damian's swollen ankle, and let out a soft cry from behind its teeth that were exposed due to its lack of lips... It must be its teeth. Damian felt that there shouldn't be any creature in nature with a mouth that looks like the blades of the air vent.
"Go away!" Damian waved his spear, trying to drive away the unknown creature.
An insect with blue-black markings on its body, found in the Amazon rainforest... Damian reasonably suspected that this was a new and extremely poisonous species that he had not yet learned about or had not yet discovered and named.
Considering the movement behind him, there must be more than one creature. Since it did not actively attack, Damian did not want to go up and fight a group of unknown creatures that might be highly poisonous.
At this moment, Damian suddenly felt something cold brushing against his left ankle and left leg. He subconsciously stabbed with his spear, but the dark blue translucent figure that was pierced by the spear just flapped its wings indifferently and dived into the mud without a trace of movement.
Before Damian had the chance to think about whether he was poisoned, he heard all kinds of chirping sounds coming from the surrounding woods. The frequency and timbre of those sounds were almost the same, obviously belonging to the same species.
I am surrounded, this is a joint hunt.
Damian acted decisively and tore open the cloth covering the injured area, then tied a strip of cloth over the area that had just been attacked, in an attempt to delay the onset of the poison by slowing down the blood circulation.
But within five seconds, Damian felt the stone spear being yanked, knocking him to the ground. Looking up, he saw a vicious, blue, poisonous moth holding the other end of the stone spear in its claws, trying to pull it out.
It was hard to imagine how this tiny creature, only the size of a human baby, could burst out with such tremendous strength. If Damian hadn't used vines to wrap the stone spear around his hand to prevent it from slipping out, the stone spear would have definitely been pulled out.
Damian was about to take back the stone spear when he felt a chill in his left leg again. He turned around and found that his swollen ankle had been frozen into a lump of ice by the mud on the ground.
Besides being extremely poisonous and ghostly, it can also spit ice?! How on earth did such a creature grow?!
After doing all this, the moth that was originally holding the stone spear let go, and retreated to a farther place with the other moths, watching this side quietly.
Damian stood up cautiously, and after a while he noticed that the moths did not continue to attack or approach, their eyes fixed on his left ankle.
Damian squatted down again cautiously and touched the ice block on his ankle. He found that the ice block was not actually stuck to the skin. The area close to the swollen skin was filled with fine ice fragments. He could even rotate the ice block with a wave of his hand.
My swollen and hot ankle felt much better after being iced.
Feeling the pain in the affected area lessen, and looking at the group of blue moths that began to fly in the air, Damian finally realized that they were not hostile creatures and that they had a certain level of intelligence.
"Damian" means conqueror, and the object of conquest can be the world, an organization, a person, or of course the wonderful blue moth.
In order to better complete the next trial, it would be great to be able to tame a few indigenous companions. After these few days, I will return to the Alliance, and they will return to the deep forest where they will be undisturbed.
Damian planned carefully, maintaining his crouched position, reaching out to the fluttering moths, and whispered softly:
"Suck, suck, suck."

The author has something to say: Benjamin: Hey! These kids are not wild, they are domesticated! ! ! !
Damian's way of addressing the Ice Ghost Cub changes based on his own opinion:
"Unknown creature" - "Unknown creature that may be highly poisonous" - "Evil blue poisonous moth" - "Blue moth"
