Chapter 17: The Transformed Hare You really didn’t mean it, but you…
Intuitive?
Xu Meng threw the gun to Su Shui and said, "From now on, you can practice on your own. I'm going to eat!"
"Okay, teacher."
Xu Meng stood straight with his shoulders back and strode towards the cafeteria. From his back one could tell that he was a soldier.
Su Shui took out a handkerchief and covered her eyes, raised the gun, and found the bull's eye with her intuition of the direction, and fired a shot. She took off the handkerchief and saw that her gun had hit the bull's eye, and the corners of her mouth curled slightly.
The training mission for the next few days was temporarily changed to outdoor survival. Wen Tianhong said that just practicing shooting and fighting in the Imperial School would not be enough to train flexible adaptability and strong strength. A true warrior must train his survival ability in the wild and rely on himself to survive.
Every student who graduates from the Imperial Academy has to face the cruel reality of surviving a near-death experience.
The place they came to this time was called "Green Forest". The forest covered a very large area, and there lived many small animals and insects and beasts in the Green Forest.
Now all the freshmen came here empty-handed. Except for the teachers leading the Imperial School who could bring supplies, the rest of them didn't even bring water.
All drinks were distributed by the teachers, but for food, they had to hunt for it themselves using shooting skills or snatch food from others using fighting skills.
This outdoor survival training allows students to form teams on their own, with each team consisting of a maximum of ten people. Most of the freshmen carried out the training in dormitories.
But Misa Eijun gave some advice to his roommate, saying that it would be better to bring the people from Su Shui over as well. In case they start fighting over food and have a fight, it would not be conducive to cultivating friendship among classmates.
This proposal was quickly adopted, and Su Shui also agreed. It would be more convenient for eight people to act together.
This operation will last for four days. The teacher in charge gave tents to each new student. Su Shui discussed with everyone and decided to leave two people here to set up the tent, and the rest would go hunting.
The eight people started to divide into two groups to play rock-paper-scissors. The two winners stayed here to set up the tent. According to the results of the rock-paper-scissors game, Misagaia and Zhang Juehuang stayed here.
The remaining six people divided into three groups and rushed into the grove.
Su Shui stopped when he heard the weeds shaking behind him.
A gray rabbit popped its head out, swayed it left and right, observed the surrounding environment, then lowered its head, drooped its ears, and began to eat the tender grass.
Su Shui lay in the haystack, touched the weeds around him, smelled them, and discovered that there was a lot of alfalfa growing in this forest. The Dutch pigs he had raised before ate this grass, so no wonder the rabbits liked to eat it.
She aimed her rifle at the gray rabbit and fired quickly, killing it before it could finish its meal.
The others heard the gunshots and turned around. Misa Eijun saw the body of a gray rabbit lying in the haystack and couldn't help but complain: "Su Shui, you killed such a cute rabbit?"
Su Shui rolled his eyes and said, "How can we let go of the prey that we have already caught?"
Misa Eijun: "You are so cold-blooded."
Su Shui pretended to raise his gun and pointed it at Misa Yingjun, who ran away upon seeing this.
Jin Duobao came over with a bucket of water. "Soda, quick! Put the rabbit in the bucket!"
Su Shui picked up the rabbit and gently placed it in the bucket, not noticing that her actions were being seen by a flying animal that looked like an eagle standing on a tree branch.
Fei Niao took advantage of the moment when Su Shui and Jin Duobao relaxed their vigilance, flapped its wings and swooped down. Su Shui had excellent hearing, and he raised his rifle and aimed at Fei Niao without even turning around.
It must be said that the appearance of this flying bird reminded her of the flying insect beast. The eagle turned in a very clever way, but it seemed that it didn't like the feeling of being threatened. Its sharp eyes became more murderous, but it had to give up the prey in its eyes.
Because of the power disparity, it chose to escape.
Jin Duoling also came over and said, "This is a flying eagle, a weaker version of the flying insect beast we saw last time. It is still in its infancy."
"It will come back again! Once a flying eagle sets its sights on food, it will never give up."
Jin Duoling said softly as he looked at the eagle soaring in the sky.
"But I will never give up the prey I hunted." Su Shui said firmly.
She had heard that the Tibetans had falcon trainers, and wondered if the flying eagles on the planet Romeda could be tamed. She thought of the photon star beast owned by Mu Jingchen and the little white tiger beside the boy in gold clothes, and she also wanted to own a star beast.
Moreover, the flying eagle will evolve into a flying beast and can even carry people to fly, how majestic!
There were several gunshots in succession. Did they find prey again?
"Let it run away!" Misa Yingjun was angry at his poor shooting skills.
Mu Jingchen raised his rifle calmly and shot it. The hare that had just escaped fell on the haystack, but it was only shot in the leg and was not dead.
Mu Jingchen said calmly: "This wild rabbit has mutated. Bring it over here to have a look."
Misa Yingjun trotted over and just as he picked up the hare, he was almost bitten. He saw that the hare's eyes had turned very red, and its grinning expression was full of blood, with blood from its prey still stained on its teeth. It had just had a full meal.
It turned out to be an alienation. Even rabbits started eating meat.
Misa Eijun threw the rabbit into the bucket in Jin Duobao's hand without mercy, cursing: "I was almost bitten by it. This mutant rabbit eats meat."
"Meat eater? There's another rabbit in the bucket."
Su Shui took the bucket and took a look. As expected, the alienated hare had almost eaten up the gray rabbit in a short period of time.
"Nnnd, the rabbit I shot was eaten by it!"
Su Shui raised his head and glanced at Misa Yingjun with his sharp eyes, "Is this what you did? It's time for dinner, and you want us to eat this mutated rabbit?"
Misa Eijun shook his head and explained, "I didn't mean to do that."
Jin Duobao interrupted: "You really didn't mean it, but you are stupid."
Mu Jingchen looked a little solemn. "It seems that there are many mutated hares in the Green Forest. These hares are bloodthirsty and have strong attack power. Their blood is poisonous. If you encounter them, you must not eat them."
Jin Duobao pointed at Misao Yingjun and said, "It's all your fault. It's not easy to find a normal rabbit here."
Misa Hidetoshi was speechless after being accused.
Su Shui noticed that Xiao Bike, who was alone and away from the crowd, was casually folding a mecha out of weeds...
I formed a team, thinking that I could take advantage of them, but I didn't expect that among these four people, only Mu Jingchen and Zhang Juehuang were useful, and the remaining two were one a drag and the other a living god.
No, we need to assign them other tasks so that their labor cannot be wasted.
"Misao Eijun, you carry this bucket."
"Why?" he asked unconvinced.
"Hmm?" Su Shui raised his eyebrows.
"Okay, no problem." He immediately became frightened.
As for Xiao Bike, Su Shui had not yet thought of what to let him do.
The six people continued to look for prey in the woods. They didn't hear any gunshots along the way, and they guessed that the others didn't find any prey either.
Almost two hours had passed, and they had no other prey except this mutated, inedible rabbit.
Jin Duobao took out his sickle and cut the grass as he walked. "I have been walking for so long, why haven't I encountered any rabbits or pheasants in this forest?"
Jin Duoling continued, "It's a bit strange indeed. This is a primeval forest, so there should be a lot of animals here."
Su Shui vaguely sensed that they were getting closer to a mysterious force in the woods. She turned her head to look at Mu Jingchen, and seeing his serious expression, she knew that her intuition was correct.
Su Shui walked to Mu Jingchen's side, and before she could speak, Mu Jingchen asked, "Did you sense it?"
Su Shui turned his head and looked up at Mu Jingchen. He happened to meet his gaze, which reminded him of how he had teased him before. At this moment, a tiger roar came from the woods!
"Damn! There are big insects and beasts here!" Misa Yingjun shouted!
Su Shui narrowed his eyes and said, "What's there to be afraid of if there's a big insect beast? Just knock it down and use it as your mount!"
A roar similar to that of a tiger came from the forest. It sounded like the momentum of the king of beasts. Now that they had come here and were discovered by the giant beast, they could not run away and could only fight.
Misa Eijun punched the tree and said, "I'm not afraid! It's a good opportunity to practice boxing with the big insect beast!" He grinned.
Su Shui turned around and saw that Jin Duobao and Jin Duoling were ready to fight the giant bug monster, but Xiao Bike...he actually disassembled the mecha and put it in his backpack...
Wait, how did he get his backpack in there?
Why didn’t I see him bringing a bag just now?
......
Su Shui could see with his own eyes the speed at which Xiao Bike assembled the mecha, which was much faster than the last duel. This time, he only took three minutes to assemble a flying mecha.
He walked straight into the mecha, and then Su Shui watched helplessly as the mecha kept getting smaller and smaller... until it became as small as an ant.
Su Shui: “…” What? Is he going to hide himself?
Suddenly, a pair of fierce eyes appeared among the swaying branches in the distance. When the leaves were peeled away, Su Shui saw the true face of the giant beast, which looked like a tiger but was not. It bared its fangs and looked very ferocious.
Mu Jingchen was relieved to see the giant insect beast. He said calmly, "If we defeat it, we'll have food for the next few days."
Su Shui was unwilling, "No, I want him to be my mount, I can't eat him!"
Mu Jingchen smiled warmly, "This one can't be used as a mount."
Su Shui asked, "Why?"
Mu Jingchen: "Because it has no perception, it does not have the ability to evolve into a star beast. What you want to subdue should be a star beast with perception."
Su Shui frowned, "The photon star beast you released last time that can emit light is a star beast with sentient abilities?"
Mu Jingchen nodded, "Yes. What you see is just a smaller version of him."
Su Shui's eyes lit up. "It can also enlarge its size at will?"
Mu Jingchen replied: "Yes."
Su Shui wanted to ask another question, but at this moment, the giant insect beast came towards them.
Mu Jingchen did not give the giant insect a chance to attack, and fired five bullets in a row, each hitting the vital point. But the giant insect did not retreat, and rushed towards Mu Jingchen even though it was injured.
Su Shui has always admired big cats. Seeing the insect-like beast that looked like a big cat rushing towards Mu Jingchen fearlessly, she felt a little admiration and a little heartache. To be honest, she really didn't want to see it die.
After all, he looks like the king of beasts. It would be a pity if he died!
