Tu Guangyun reached out and waved through a patch of dense grass. The elf lizard in the grass was frightened, opened the rotating fan on its back, and danced gracefully in the gorgeous bio-light.
The Elf Lizard is also called the Whirlwind Lizard, and its Na'vi name is Capt.
Their skin is yellowish-brown, and they are forty-five centimeters long when the fan is not turned on, and can reach one meter when it is turned on. They like to live next to ferns in the rain.
"Children of the Na'vi tribe like to tease the resting elf lizards and admire the purple-red carousels they turn into."
As Tu Guangyun spoke, he raised his cane and stretched it towards the elf lizard in front of him.
Snapped!
The elf lizard's rotating fan got stuck and fell down unsteadily.
Tu Guangyun had no idea how much of a psychological shadow his actions would have on this elf lizard.
He said with a hint of obsession: "Pandora's gravity is weaker than that of the Earth, and its air density is higher than that of the Earth, so even unreasonable structures can fly."
After that, he kicked up and kicked the elf lizard that fell to the ground back into the grass.
rustling
The unlucky elf lizard ran away.
"cough!"
Liu Peiqiang, who was standing nearby and on guard, coughed slightly and said, "Doctor, they didn't bother you much, so why are you kicking them?"
Tu Guangyun shook his head: "Didn't you notice?"
"The Pandora creatures don't seem to be interested in us. The heavily armored horses turned and ran away when they saw us. The same goes for the peacock deer. Even the elf lizard just didn't turn around to bite me after being kicked by me."
Liu Peiqiang wondered: "It sounds like they are avoiding us. Isn't this a good thing?"
The herbivores on Pandora are okay, the carnivores are more terrifying than the last, bullets can't even penetrate their skin, and no one wants to encounter them.
Tu Guangyun nodded lightly: "It's a good thing, but I want to know why."
Whether it is the "Avatar" movie or RDA's observation records over the years, all show that Pandora creatures are extremely aggressive towards humans.
But when they arrived, these Pandora creatures seemed to have suddenly changed their temper!
why is that?
Tu Guangyun is a geneticist, and he is accustomed to thinking about problems from the perspective of genetics.
He suspected that the Earthlings wandering the Earth had different genes from the Earthlings in the Avatar world.
But the negotiations did not include human genetic samples, so he was unable to verify this issue for a while.
Liu Peiqiang shrugged: "You scientists still have brains, and you will get to the bottom of the problem when you encounter it. I can't think of this level..."
"Shh-"
Tu Guangyun's expression suddenly changed and he interrupted Liu Peiqiang.
Liu Peiqiang was stunned.
"listen!"
"There is movement ahead!"
Tu Guangyun looked forward, his eyes flashing with excitement, he pulled up his legs and ran forward.
Liu Peiqiang followed closely behind.
"Hey! The great scientist has a very good ear!"
After running a few steps, he also heard movement, which seemed to be the sound of a tree falling, mixed with a few screams.
"PhD!"
"Let's not run so fast!" Liu Peiqiang grabbed Tu Guangyun's arm, "We can't protect you when you are in danger!"
Other soldiers also caught up.
The fire in Tu Guangyun's heart cooled down a little, and he nodded and slowed down his pace.
The group of people gradually approached the source of the sound.
"I'll lure it away! You guys, run!"
"No! Vali!"
"Damn it! Let's fight it!"
"..."
The simultaneous interpretation device produces translated sounds without any emotion.
Tu Guangyun's eyes lit up: "It's the Na'vi! We finally met them!"
One of his tasks is related to the Na'vi people.
He asked the colonel to drop them a little further away from the base for investigation, but maybe it wasn't far enough. They searched for more than a week but found nothing.
Until now.
Liu Peiqiang hesitated and said: "It sounds like they are working with some big guy. Are we sure we want to get closer?"
The creatures on Pandora are too dangerous, often more than ten meters long and six or seven meters high.
When encountering a powerful predator, unless you can put a bullet into the opponent's eye socket or throw a grenade into the opponent's mouth, you will have no choice but to run away.
Although humans have a lot of equipment that can fight Pandora's predators, they are too heavy and not suitable for carrying on long-term inspection missions.
Of course, they are not without safety measures.
They can call for reinforcements from the bridgehead base. As long as the signal is sent out, more than ten amp mechas will descend from the sky in less than ten minutes, killing Pandora creatures like melons and vegetables.
But now that they have to make contact with the Na'vi people, it is obviously not suitable for people from the bridgehead base to show up.
Liu Peiqiang is not afraid of death, but he is worried that something will happen to Tu Guangyun.
"Of course we have to get there!" Tu Guangyun said firmly, "Time is tight and the task is heavy, we can't miss the opportunity!"
Task!
Upon hearing these two words, Liu Peiqiang pursed his lips and stopped talking.
They advanced quietly.
Vali and her companions came from a small tribe nearby. Their tribe had been raided twice by the RDA and was severely weakened. There were less than a hundred Na'vi left in total.
As a last resort, even underage children like Vali were sent out to hunt.
Vali was very unlucky today. Not only did she not gain anything, she also unfortunately ran into one of the most terrifying predators on Pandora.
Lightning Beast
Thundermon is also called Deathmon, and its characteristics can be known from its name.
Moving like lightning, angry like thunder.
Death in the rainforest.
The adult Thunder Beast is 5.5 meters long and 2.2 meters high. It has six muscular legs, fangs more than 20 centimeters long, ten sensitive feathers on its head, and its whole body is covered in thick armor.
It causes panic wherever it wanders, and even the bravest warriors among the Na'vi are unwilling to face it.
Vali has been forced into a desperate situation.
"Roar!"
The ten sensory feathers on the head of the Thunder Beast were spread out like a peacock's tail. It stared cruelly at Vali, who was leaning against a tree hole with no way to escape. It opened its bloody mouth and let out a violent roar.
Fear filled Vali's body.
Vali sat stiffly on the ground, unable to move even a finger.
She was extremely frightened.
Am I...am I going back to Ava?
Whoosh——
At this critical moment, a bone arrow accurately shot into the eye socket of the Thunder Beast.
It's a pity that it is so weak, the Lightning Beast just closed its eyelids and easily bounced the arrow away.
"Monster! Stay away from Vali!"
A thin Na'vi man poked his head out from behind a thick tree root not far away. He waved his arms like a monkey to attract the attention of the Thunder Beast.
"Roar!"
The lightning beast fell into a rage.
It jumped up, easily knocked down the Na'vi who shot arrows at it, and then opened its bloody mouth cruelly.
Tear--
An arm flew up and sprayed a series of blood drops in the air!
"ah!!!"
The horrifying screams resounded through the rain forest. If you hadn't heard it with your own ears, it would be difficult to imagine that this was the sound that an intelligent creature could make.
Blood poured onto the face of the Lightning Thunder Beast, seeping into the gaps on its face.
It became more excited, and the feathers on its head trembled.
Then it opened its mouth again, preparing to tear off the Na'vi man's other arm.
"No!"
Vali was awakened by the screams of her companions.
The drifting soul returned to Vali's body. The worry for her companions overwhelmed Vali's fear of death. Vali crawled out of the tree hole on her hands and knees, picked up a stone and ran towards the Thunder Beast.
She wants to save her comrades, but this is tantamount to death.
If nothing else happens, she and her companions will not escape death today.
It will then turn into the excrement of the Lightning Beast within twenty-four hours, and appear as a name in the next sacrifice of their tribe.
Fortunately, an accident happened.
Chunk! Chunk! Chunk!
Without warning, intensive gunshots came from a nearby hiding place, and dense sparks jumped from the biomass armor on the Thunder Beast.
miss
miss
miss
The Thunder Beast roared and turned its head.
In the dim shade of the trees, Liu Peiqiang looked at the gun in his hand, and then at the unharmed Thunder Beast.
