In the dark and humid rainforest, an orc soldier who was transferred from the old outpost to the new one was on his way to fish.
There was a relatively spacious area far away from the banks of the Wunu River, where he often took shelter and rest.
It's still early now, and through the tiny gaps between the leaves, you can see that the sun is still a long way from reaching its highest point.
So when the soldier arrived at the "holy land" of laziness, he was all alone.
The beastman was happy to enjoy this moment of peace and quiet, so he picked a tree root that he liked and sat down.
But he didn't notice that a light black feather began to flash on his fur near the hem of his clothes.
The soldier felt that the atmosphere of the rainforest was inexplicably weird.
His subconscious uneasiness was warning him that danger was approaching, but his habitual laziness made him lose motivation.
It must be an illusion.
He shook off the goosebumps and thought indifferently.
But the next moment, something strange happened!
He Yu pierced into his flesh, and before he could react, a space wormhole opened in his body.
The beast soldiers were drained of their energy in an instant, and then their empty bodies were shattered by the unstable spatial fluctuations.
Immediately afterwards, a mass of flesh and blood mixed with smoke, dust, and carbonized traces fell among the bushes and soil.
The wormhole quickly collapsed, and He Yu used his remaining energy to smooth out the turbulence in space to prevent any harm to the humanoid figures on the ground.
Zi Sui collapsed to the ground. His severe lack of spiritual energy made his self-repair extremely slow, and he was unable to open the alien space and move.
In fact, it is impossible to think at all.
The important organs and some tissues composed of RC cells are still tenaciously alive and dividing at an extremely slow rate.
This allowed Zi Sui to still breathe.
The bloody body instinctively began to absorb the spiritual energy in the air. It was a drop in the bucket, but better than nothing.
Fortunately, his semi-comatose state at least allowed him to avoid being tortured by the ghoul's horrific hunger.
Thus, the unbridled consciousness began to float in the itchy pain like being bitten by ants.
After an unknown amount of time, Zi Sui's consciousness was still not fully awake, but his body was no longer heavy and he began to move.
As his eardrums finally returned to normal, the dark world suddenly became noisy.
The sound of half-inaudible conversation began to fill my ears.
There was a rustling sound.
The dense pain caused by the gradual recovery of his nervous system made him very irritable.
Finally, at a certain point, strength began to return to his body, and He Bao's existence became clear.
Zi Sui's outer skin has not yet begun to repair, and his insides have only recovered to a state where he can move.
But that's enough.
A large crimson figure on the ground moved, causing the grass to rustle slightly.
Then, what followed was the return of consciousness and the overwhelming feeling of hunger.
I just restarted, and my blank brain was instantly filled with the word "hunger".
His stomach roared as if it was being torn apart, and the burning heat burned all the way from his digestive tract to his brain, almost making him fall unconscious again.
"Hey! Stop slacking off and get to work!"
In the distance, the shouts of the beastmen could be heard, followed by the voices of two people talking closer.
The hungry ghoul instantly locked onto its prey!
The Yuhehe bag located near the shoulder mobilizes the few RC cells that can be called upon.
Then, a steel feather slowly formed outside the body.
"brush!"
"No! Get down!"
The sharp steel feathers were like a blade drawn from its sheath, and the cold light passed through the gaps in the tree trunks and cut towards the direction of the sound in the distance.
"Bang!"
The sound of steel feathers hitting the ground was heard along with the sound of someone falling to the ground.
And before that, there was a slight "Shh!"
The first prey was caught.
But this is far from enough.
Zi Sui's brain was still occupied by hunger and appetite, and he was unable to think. What drove his body at this moment was only instinct.
He instantly exerted force from his legs and rushed towards the location of the prey with a "whoosh".
Then, he put his knuckles together to form a knife, raised his hand and chopped off the prey's head.
The sweet and fishy smell of blood surrounded Zi Sui's body, some of it his own, and some of it his prey's.
The ghoul opened his mouth and bit off a large piece of spiritual energy. The muscles in his body recovered visibly as he moved.
“Crack, crack…”
Intensive tearing and breaking sounds were heard in the quiet jungle.
After a moment, the chilling sound stopped abruptly and the forest became quiet again.
The flesh and blood monster no longer existed, and all that remained were the flattened weeds and the remaining crimson on the grass.
In the distance, noisy voices came from the outpost, and the bright lights were particularly eye-catching in the dark rainforest.
At this time, another cargo ship passed through the control range of the outpost.
The beast soldiers came out in full force, and the huge iron net blocked the ship going down the river.
This kind of interception happens almost every day.
This is also why more and more people are now smuggling themselves across land.
When traveling by land, ships can take detours and hide, but on the open river, ships have nowhere to hide and can only be seized and then forced to pay tolls.
Just like this ship fleeing south now, it was forced to dock.
The surrounding beast soldiers narrowed the encirclement and controlled the cargo ship to the shore.
As a last resort, the captain had to lead a large number of passengers on the ship ashore to "pay the fee."
For a moment, the banks of this section of the Wunu River became particularly lively.
The beastmen, humans, and even some demons were all crowded together on the flat ground by the river.
In addition to the group of illegal immigrants detained by the outpost last night, this area is home to at least several thousand intelligent species.
This is a good thing for a certain ghoul who is in a state of starvation.
"Stand still! Line up! Don't even think about slipping away!"
"Everyone come ashore, all of them..."
"Bang!"
A black shadow smashed into the noisy meat, and the loud noise extinguished the soldiers' shouts.
Immediately afterwards, smoke and dust mixed with fine feather powder swept across the entire venue.
Accompanied by the crisp sound of gnawing, the space is blocked and activated!
Zi Sui's body, which had not yet been fully repaired, was twisted and deformed, and transformed into a state more suitable for hunting.
The absorbed energy is used to feed the growth of the predatory organs, and the claws gradually wrap around the bloody body.
A huge eating organ was formed, and the next moment it pounced on the prey in front of it.
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!”
I don't know who screamed first, but it took the lambs outside a long time to react.
No one wants to face an unknown life that is twisted, terrifying, and beyond their realm of perception.
As expected, routs and stampedes followed.
But when they want to stay away from the center of the incident, they will find despair.
I have been surrounded by more and more feather fans.
They have no way to escape, and as soon as they are discovered by hungry predators, they are already on the table.
