We hid in a dark corner, keeping a distance of about twenty meters from the Haru team, which was the closest we could get.

By the way, we conducted an experiment using Top. Top's hearing is so good that it is basically undetectable from 20 meters away unless a very loud noise is made.

However, just to be on the safe side, we kept a greater distance, retreating to a distance of about 25 to 30 meters to track them.

Along the way, we encountered several more groups of Haru who were also rushing back.

They did not gather together to travel, but instead proceeded from different directions along the routes closest to them. However, one thing was certain: they were all heading in the same direction.

We continued to follow these Haru discreetly, encountering some Haru who were stopped and questioned along the way, but their checks were far from effective.

If I were looking at these employees from the company's perspective, I would definitely fire them all.

These guys, I don't know who they learned it from, as soon as the Haru team came to be checked, the other party would immediately go and check other teams as soon as they saw a red gorilla from afar, so that its position was left vacant.

Even if a group of spies were to pass through here right now, they might not be detected.

Perhaps due to a lack of manpower, or perhaps because the officers in charge of the checks were incompetent, we narrowly escaped several waves of investigations.

As we ventured deeper into the area with these Haru, a large open space gradually appeared before us.

Here, there is a cone-shaped thatched hut like the one I encountered in the Mila tribe almost every one or two meters.

Looking around, the ground was covered with these houses, densely packed like anthills. At this moment, many Haru could be seen going in and out of the houses, so it seemed that this was a dwelling they had built themselves.

Before, we could follow them all the way through the jungle, but now they walk past these houses without looking back. Occasionally, when they encounter their companions passing by, they will wave and give a brief greeting.

They can swagger in like that, but we can't. Those Haru are just careless; they're not all nearsighted.

If we go straight in, given what we've done to Haru, they certainly won't mind playing with us until we're half dead before killing us. Before that, I saw the skeletons of some humanoid creatures nearby.

No one knows how many years those skeletons have been here, but judging from the various scars on the bones, they were not humans who died naturally here.

For everyone's safety, we had no choice but to take a detour. But after taking this detour, those Haru had already left us far behind.

Fortunately, it wasn't just this one group of Haru heading to that mysterious location. We lurked nearby and soon spotted another group of Haru arriving.

Judging from their hurried appearance, they were probably also heading to the place we wanted to go.

We followed closely behind again, continuing our journey. As we ventured deeper, the environment changed once more.

This time we can no longer see any other trees. Looking around, we see mostly tall cypress algae, but the density is much higher than what we saw at the sinkhole.

Not only that, I think we're currently on a subtle downhill slope. I've noticed the clouds overhead are gradually getting thicker as we get here.

Because the sun overhead was blocked by clouds, the light that could get through was relatively limited, and the view of the jungle here was not as bright and open as before.

In some of the dark jungle, the birdsong seemed to have become weak and listless, with only one or two birdsongs coming from time to time.

This place seems even more oppressive than the sinkhole we saw before.

This feeling made me very uncomfortable, so I lowered my voice and said to Su Su and Dante beside me.

"Everyone, pay attention, things don't look so peaceful here."

Susu and Dante nodded, each gripping their weapons even tighter. Even though this was Dante's second time facing such terrain, the previous trauma still left a deep impression of the threat he had felt.

Su Su looked better, after all, we were better prepared this time. We hadn't encountered the kind of fear we had experienced before here.

However, this idea shouldn't be taken lightly. As Dante and I were still thinking this, a roar like that of a bomber came from not far in front of us.

"Buzz buzz buzz..."

We could hear that familiar voice from a great distance; it was these guys who almost killed us back then.

Seeing that Dante and I suddenly changed our expressions, Su Su asked in a low voice,

"Master, what's wrong? Why do you all look even worse than when Haru attacked you before?"

"Susu, we need to get ready to escape. Those Haru guys probably won't live much longer."

I said casually, "Back then, our sinkhole paid a huge price to get rid of these deadly vampires."

"Ah! Master, look what those Haru are up to!"

Hearing Su Su say that, I quickly turned my attention to the group of Haru ahead.

It's clear that Haru is also very anxious and terrified in the face of these deadly giant vampire mosquitoes.

Although they were anxious, they didn't lose their composure. Clearly, this wasn't the first time they'd encountered such a situation, as several Haru immediately let out a low, guttural growl.

This roar is highly penetrating through the air, comparable to that of the howler monkey, one of the loudest animals in the world.

This seemingly low sound can actually travel several kilometers and is an important means of communication for animals.

They are calling for reinforcements from their nearest companions!

But the situation is urgent now, and it will take some time for their companions to arrive.

If they cannot save themselves at this moment, I dare say they will become mummies before their companions arrive.

However, I clearly underestimated these creatures' adaptability. Since they can survive in such a treacherous place, how could they be ordinary beings?

They immediately showed me in their own way that they were another intelligent species besides humans, capable of conquering nature.

Two Haru skillfully removed a large bundle of dry grass tied to their rear ends, and then began drilling directly into the ground using a stick.

Dante couldn't help but feel disdain upon seeing this. These guys wanted to learn how to make fire by rubbing sticks together; it would be a miracle if they could actually ignite dry grass by rubbing it directly together.
