Chapter five hundred and seventy-ninth confusion about hunting instinct
The sea water naturally separated all around, and everyone was standing in a strange oval-shaped vesicle supported by foam and water flow. This vesicle was rapidly moving forward at an incredible speed, while Shakeela and Soma took turns.
Swimming around the outside of the vesicle to maintain the stability of this magic. This experience is different from Hao Ren's previous experience of being dragged into the deep sea by Nangong Wuyue. The only thing in common is that it is equally novel and interesting.
"Gun" stared at this scene with wide eyes and was surprised. She could not find anything to explain this phenomenon in her limited knowledge. She ran around on the "ground" made of foam and water flow,
Occasionally she would see a rapidly passing shadow outside - it was a swimming fish in shallow water or a large cluster of bubbles - and she would excitedly pounce on it, but every time she would be bounced back by the water wall.
Vivian pulled the cat girl to ask her to quiet down for a while, while Hasselblad looked at this strange "alien" curiously: "What is she?"
"A cat that has become a feline," Hao Ren shrugged, "is also an alien according to your classification standards, but a month ago she was just an ordinary house cat - I am very curious whether such a harmless guy would be just because
Does turning into a human form make you your hunting target?"
Tutain pressed his eyebrows and looked at Hasselblad: "The hunting instinct didn't respond?" "I didn't respond either."
Hao Ren didn't pay attention to what the two people were muttering. He just noticed that Tutanin and Hasselblad always kept a distance of three meters from here, and tried to look away when talking to his group. He felt that
This kind of vigilance and rejection is unnecessary when a ceasefire agreement has been signed: "You two don't have to stay so far away, and you still turn your heads. You see, Bai Huo is bolder than you."
Hasselblad said indifferently with a straight face: "Because Bai Huo is a younger generation, she can stand with you without fighting against her strong hunting instinct. And we need to keep a distance from the aliens to ensure that we don't lose control."
."
Hao Ren's eyes suddenly became serious: "Wait a minute, what do you mean by hunting instinct...?"
"You don't even know this?" Hasselblad was a little surprised. "Have you never dealt with a demon hunter before?"
"I have fought a lot, but have few interactions." Hao Ren shrugged, "What exactly is the hunting instinct you are talking about?"
"The instinctive hostility that a demon hunter generates when seeing an alien," Vivian explained on her behalf, "can even directly transform into murderous intent, so the demon hunter and the alien only need to exchange glances to start a fight. This
The process is just like how different groups of aliens tend to fight when they meet, except that the hostility generated by demon hunters is stronger when they see aliens, and it will be directly converted into combat power, so it is called hunting instinct."
Hao Ren's eyes suddenly narrowed: "It's this 'earth-unique phenomenon' again... It's the same as the issue we discussed before."
"Hasselblad. Have you seen that I have a hunting instinct?" Vivian suddenly raised her head and glanced at Hasselblad, "I vaguely remember that I have dealt with many demon hunters, and they were surprised when they saw me.
The hunting instinct is very weak.”
Hasselblad glanced this way cautiously, his voice also a little confused: "Although it is incredible...but my hunting instinct is indeed in an incredibly calm state at the moment, and in my memory...the several times I have had contact with you are quite different.
Peaceful. If this were not the case, the ceasefire agreement between us would not have been so easy to reach. It was the abnormal calmness of the hunting instinct that prevented a fight between the two of us."
Hao Ren breathed a sigh of relief. He finally understood why no aliens on earth had ever reached a ceasefire agreement with demon hunters, but he had stood calmly with demon hunters many times in a row. Including this time—
—Although both parties were still wary, this wariness was simply caused by camp factors. As a result, Hasselblad still agreed to temporarily stay with a group of aliens.
The main reason is not that Vivian is very eloquent or Hasselblad is knowledgeable. This is just a trivial factor. There is only one fundamental reason: some kind of "innate hostility" effective mechanism is controlling everything! And only today.
Under certain circumstances, this effective mechanism has fluctuated.
Hao Ren suddenly realized that if he wanted to crack the law of alien species confrontation on Earth, now was the opportunity.
He carefully pushed the cat girl forward: "Hasselblad, are you hostile when you look at her?"
Hasselblad glanced at Hao Ren inexplicably: "No. But does it make sense?"
"It's been a long journey with nothing to do. Just think that I'm full and want to do some experiments." Hao Ren said as he walked up to Hasselblad. "Do you have a hunting instinct for me?"
Hasselblad and Tutanin shook their heads slightly at the same time, but both of them felt more and more baffled by Hao Ren's strange behavior.
Yzaks suddenly understood what Hao Ren wanted to do. He carried his daughter and came to Hasselblad: "Look at us, are you hostile to us?"
Hasselblad immediately instinctively touched the weapon at his waist, but then relaxed: "There is no hostility in terms of hunting instinct, but..."
Yzaks was open-minded and scratched his face nonchalantly: "It's okay. Normal people would basically call the police if they saw me."
"What are you doing, landlord?" Lily came over curiously, so Hao Ren pushed the dog girl forward: "Where is this?"
Hasselblad and Tutanin immediately took half a step back. Hao Ren noticed that the muscles under their skin trembled rapidly as if they were out of control. There was even a ray of silver light floating in Hasselblad's eyes. Although the two did not speak, they were very nervous.
Apparently that weird phenomenon called the hunting instinct has kicked in.
Moreover, Hasselblad's hunting instinct is more obvious with its older bloodline.
The same goes for Lily: the moment Hasselblad and Tutanin revealed their murderous intent, her golden eyes were filled with a layer of blood. Then she shook her head vigorously and said to the two demon hunters sincerely: "
I just wanted to bite you."
Hao Ren pushed Lily back and finally took out Doudou from his arms: "You don't have a hunting instinct after seeing this, right?"
Hasselblad's one eye couldn't help but widen with surprise: "Is this sea monster so big? Why is it only so long?"
Hao Ren: "..."
At this time Tutanin suddenly frowned: "Wait a minute, I feel like this little creature has..."
Hao Ren immediately took Doudou into his arms: "Oh, that's not important."
In any case, it turns out that the demon hunter is not hostile to Doudou: even though this little guy is also a standard "alien" by definition.
Vivian frowned and read the whole process of the experiment. The rules can be easily summarized: "Host, you are a human being, 'Gun' is a cat demon that has just transformed recently, Lao Wang, his daughter, and Dou
The beans come from 'other places', so these will not trigger the hunting instinct of the witcher. And Lily...although the bloodline is a bit strange, it is enough to arouse Hasselblad's hostility, but the degree of hostility is not strong, and both parties can be very
It is easy to control. So the conditions for activation of the hunting instinct are very obvious: "local" natives, and "standard blood" passed down from the dream plane travel ten thousand years ago. Others, regardless of whether they are aliens
It doesn’t work for visitors from the outside world or new exotic varieties.”
"But you are the most inexplicable one," Hao Ren raised his eyes and looked at Vivian, "No vampire dares to compete with you in terms of bloodline, but the hunting instinct triggered by the demon hunter when facing you is even more than
Lily is still weak, you can still chat with them."
Vivian spread her hands: "It's a bit weird to put it anywhere."
Hasselblad looked at Hao Ren and the others' discussion with a blank expression. He was also confused about his hunting instinct, but the information he knew was not enough to analyze anything, so in the end he couldn't help but speak: "You guys
What are you studying?"
Hao Ren looked into Hasselblad's eyes and cautiously raised a topic: "What do you think the hunting instinct is?"
"It is the skill that demon hunters rely on for a living, the key to identifying prey. A strong enough hunting instinct can even replace the hunter's spiritual vision," Hasselblad said, looking at the silent Bai Huo next to him lightly, "Yes.
Without the hunting instinct, no prey can escape the hunter's pursuit."
Vivian suddenly asked with a half-smile: "If I guess correctly, the hunting instinct of the new generation of demon hunters is declining, right?"
Hasselblad snorted, noncommittal.
"You regard this as a beneficial talent, but haven't you ever thought that it might be abnormal?" Hao Rente looked at Hasselblad sincerely, "You have never doubted it...in fact, you are just possessed by something that is not originally normal.
Has the 'instinct' that should exist been controlled?"
A sharp light flashed in Hasselblad's single eye: "What do you mean?" (To be continued...)
