NOVEL WEB Chapter 426 The Dead Hunter
Whether the end of the universe is heat death actually has nothing to do with Fu Han. The sentient beings in the Qixing Land may not even be able to survive the final obstacle, so caring about the outcome of the universe is a bit too nosy.
The Darkborn's ancient inscription tablets were not busy reading. Because there was quite a lot of it, it was difficult to say that it would take several days to finish it. Fu Han still suppressed his curiosity and just took a few pieces of source essence and put them into the treasure box before returning to the contaminated area.
It took most of the day to improve the bloodline of the two star beasts. It was a starry night again when he came out of the treasure house, and he was not in a hurry to set off. Fu Han first sent Qiqilu to the Bear King for a "re-examination". The bear king's state recovered very quickly, and the giant bears also confirmed that the hunters' auras had left the giant bears' territory.
In fact, Fu Han couldn't be 100% sure of Zhang Zhijing's purpose. An ordinary Titan Bear would not enter her plans, but it was hard to say about a mature Bear King. Therefore, Fu Han also intentionally stayed near the giant bear's territory to see if they would make any further moves.
But now that the giant bears have determined that the hunters are gone, Fu Han should continue to chase them.
…
Three days later, Lingju carried Fu Han and Weiwei to the star beast breeding base of Star Chaser Academy.
In the past few days, Fu Han has been traveling non-stop. Originally, I was a little worried that if I walked too fast, I would walk in front of Zhang Zhijing and the others. But yesterday, Fu Han found some traces of human activities.
Following these traces, Fu Han found a campfire that had been buried.
In fact, experienced hunters will not leave traces of their activities. Even if you don't have to be wary of star beasts, you still have to be wary of other people.
However, the surface of the contaminated area has no vegetation and fallen leaves, so the methods used by hunters to hide their whereabouts are not so easy to use. And where they buried the fire, the pit they dug was a bit big. The surface covered with bacteria was bald, and there was freshly turned soil, which was very obvious.
Fu Han wanted to know if it was Zhang Zhijing and his party, so he dug up the campfire pit to check. This dig really made a big discovery...
Not only was there a campfire buried in the pit, but there was also a corpse that had died of orangutan decay. After all, there is the presence of orangutan rot fungus, and this body is almost rotten.
Judging from the fact that the ape rot poisonous mist is still leaking from the body, he died from the ape rot of the disease sect. Not many people in the league can use this thing. In other words, Zhang Zhijing and his party passed by here.
Moreover, the clothes on the deceased looked familiar to Fu Han, and he vaguely remembered that they belonged to the hunter next to Zhang Zhijing...
However, the hunters' clothes were all similar, and Fu Han didn't remember them clearly, so he wasn't entirely sure.
However, if you think about it carefully... those few people may not need Zhang Zhijing to kill a single-handed hunter. So this guy should be their accomplice.
As for why Zhang Zhijing wanted to kill one of his own people... Fu Han could probably guess.
When Zhang Zhijing and the others were fighting the Bear King, a hunter's star beast was instantly killed by the Bear King. In other words, this hunter fell into a weak state of soul.
Fu Han had experienced the feeling of a weak soul. However, Weiwei's evolution caused the soul connection to be disconnected, and the weakness caused was not very serious. Moreover, when it comes to soul weakness, everyone’s situation is different. But weakness and pain are certain, and the hunter must be unfit to continue the long journey.
At this time, two voices should appear in the hunting team.
One is led by Zhang Zhijing, who hopes to leave this hunter and move on to make a lot of money. Second, hunters with reason and conscience will naturally understand. When you give up on others, you also default to being given up on the rest of the journey. Therefore, they will definitely advocate immediate evacuation, as life-saving is the most important thing.
Not only to protect the lives of others, but also to protect your own life.
And Zhang Zhijing definitely doesn't want to turn back, even in her eyes, all hunters will be sacrificed. This is just the first one, why should we give up? Of course not!
So, she took action and killed the hunter.
It's possible that the move was made before disagreements broke out. It is also possible that after everyone decided to turn back, they held hands on the way back.
This is the Alliance after all, and most people have never come into contact with the Fufu Sect in their lives. The knowledge about the notorious orangutan rot is limited to textbooks. Even if these hunters who are active in contaminated areas have indeed seen actual orangutan rot infection, it is still new wild orangutan rot, which will confuse them.
Zhang Zhijing is another saint of disease, and it is too easy for her to show different symptoms after being infected with orangutan. Moreover, the hunter would not doubt her. The term "corruption saint" is indeed too far away for them.
She secretly made it look like the hunter died from a weak soul. Anyway, these hunters are short of money, so they enter the polluted area with all their might, right? Now that the person is dead, there is nothing we can do. We can only bury him and continue on our way.
This time Fu Han was full of confidence in his inference and was inseparable from it. Especially this kind of style is completely in line with the behavior habits of the Fufu Sect.
From this, Fu Han knew that he was looking in the right direction, and their pace was only a day and a half faster than his. So he continued to move non-stop towards the whale's landing point.
The landing point of the whale was actually in the northeast direction, but Fu Han believed that they would go here, so he could only go there.
If we go this way, we will inevitably pass through the star beast wild breeding base of Star Chaser Academy. It was also the place where Fu Han took survival class and made a contract with Boya.
…
The southwest boundary of the breeding base is a river, and behind the towering stone cliffs on the other side of the river is the desert landscape planned by the college.
Here Fu Han discovered some characteristics of orangutan rot bacteria, such as their growth, which is still relatively dependent on trees and soil. Covering the water surface only occurs in small ponds and streams. Therefore, this nameless river is still flowing continuously.
But this time Weiwei said that it would be very dangerous to cross directly from the river.
Fu Han believed in Weiwei's judgment because he knew it. In order to protect the safety of the breeding base, the college appropriately released some ferocious aquatic beasts into the river. They should be ferocious and durable guys. They should be very hungry at this time.
Of course, this little trouble can't stop Fu Han at all. He was just thinking, how did Zhang Zhijing and the others get there?
In fact, the easiest way is to fly over. High-level beastmasters are very enthusiastic about the contracted star beasts. For combat beast masters, the first one or two star beasts are definitely focused on fighting. Starting from the third one, it is basically a "free range" functional star beast. Mounts are the first choice, and those with the ability to fly, glide, and levitate are preferred.
In a high-level team, there will definitely be someone who has contracted a big guy that can carry everyone across the river.
So, that's probably how they got there.
Of course, Fu Han had to rely on Saitama. He could sense Saitama with his soul first and use [Levitation·Freedom] to rise to a high place. Then let Saitama complete his costume, spread his wings and glide over. When we reached the other side, we also climbed up the towering stone cliff.
Under the stone cliff, the original desert landscape still exists.
This illustrates two things. First, the orangutan rot cannot do anything about the hot environment. Even the orangutan rot bacteria cannot survive in the soft sand. Second, the climate tower in the middle of the flower field may still be intact, and the lapis lazuli fairy there may have saved its home.
Fu Han wanted to go over and have a look, as if he had been away from home for a long time and wanted to see if the most beautiful flower in his back garden was still alive and well.
