Chapter 16 Strange creature

The girl was stunned and watched Renault eating like a ghost, turned her head and said to Moos: “It seems we have to hurry up to hunt, otherwise Renault will starve to death by night…”

Moos couldn’t help showing a smile on his face. He nodded and walked forward first. Renault and Angela followed closely behind, and the three began to walk through the towering trees.

In the jungle, most beasts have a fixed range of movement. When they move between foraging locations, water sources, and nests, their routes of action are often relatively fixed, leaving many traces.

So hunting in the jungle, the most important thing is to find these traces.

For example, many animals that like to gnaw on the tender stems of plants will leave corresponding tooth marks on the plants, and there will also be gnawing and scratch marks on shrubs and trees.

There are also footprints, which are also the most obvious animal traces in the jungle. Animals of different sizes leave different footprints. Large animals have much deeper footprints and larger footprints, while small animals have the opposite.

In addition, the freshness of the footprint is also different. The fresher the footprint, the clearer the edge. In a very humid place, there may even be a little water in the fresh footprint. The clearness of the footprint can determine the time when the animal passes.

While recognizing the various animal tracks on the ground, Moose looked around from time to time. He wanted to find a larger prey, because Renault’s appetite was so terrifying that the small prey couldn’t withstand his terrible appetite. .

Before long, Moose found what he wanted-a line of deep hoof prints. He also squatted down to touch the hoof prints. There was a slight wet mark on the bottom of the hoof prints. Obviously the owner of the hoof prints was not long ago. Just passed here.

After traveling in the dark forest for more than half an hour, Renault suddenly felt a strange feeling.

Since killing the group of black orcs who were pursuing, his mental power has improved a lot, and his perception of the external environment has become more acute inexplicably. When he concentrates, he can even vaguely feel that one in the air. A strand of frenzied will-that is frenzy.

If there is any disharmony in the environment, he can quickly notice it. At this moment, he just has this kind of disharmony, just like a smudge suddenly appeared in a delicate scroll.

Renault looked up at the surrounding environment as he walked.

This place is the very deep part of the Black Forest. It is inaccessible all year round. It is surrounded by giant trees with a diameter of more than 8 meters. Numerous branches of different thicknesses lie in the air. With the addition of layers of leaves, the air is like a green curtain. Very little light penetrates down.

The surrounding area was even more quiet. I couldn’t hear any birds or insects at all. It was quieter than the other places I passed by before. There were only the footsteps of the three people walking, and the sound of the body rubbing against the bushes and grass.

Renault suddenly found a strange place. In the surrounding giant trees, many of the thick branches had several broken branches, and the branches were bare.

At a glance, he saw at least more than 20 broken branches, and I don’t know how many there were further away, but he hadn’t seen such a sight before passing by.

After seeing the broken branch, the sense of disharmony in his heart became clearer. He couldn’t help but look up and carefully looked at a branch, and his feet slowed down unconsciously.

Staring at the branches at the first glance, a warning sign suddenly appeared in Renault’s heart, as if there was some unknowable danger, which made him a little suspicious.

“Strange, what is the danger of branches?”

“Why is it just this kind of broken branch that makes me feel dangerous?”

“Why do I have no feeling for the other parts of these giant trees?”

Various thoughts flashed quickly in his mind, and then a word jumped out-mimicry!

Renault suddenly realized that these broken branches were not branches at all.

They are clearly some kind of creatures disguised as branches!

And it’s still a gregarious creature!

“They disguised themselves as branches and concealed their bodies, either to avoid predators or to hunt prey. Which kind of creature would this be?”

“Looking at their size, they don’t seem to be predators.”

In the next moment, Renault’s face suddenly changed!

“No, their mimicry is not to avoid natural enemies, but to lure prey into a snare!”

“They are not big. Small insects are definitely on their diet. There are a lot of them, so larger beasts are not their opponents!”

“So any creatures that enter this area, beasts or insects, are killed by them!”

“Because of this, this place is surprisingly quiet.”

He overturned his previous conclusion!

These creatures can survive in more dangerous places like the Black Forest, and they can also occupy a territory. Obviously, their strength is not weak.

Although there were a large number of dangerous creatures around, Renault was not afraid at all. Instead, another strange thought emerged in his mind uncontrollably: “Are they… delicious?”

Although he had eaten a lot of jerky just now, he was not full at all. Under the fire of endless hunger, Renault’s perspective on the problem had a strange shift.

At this moment, in his eyes, everything in the world can only be divided into two categories, one is edible, and the other cannot be eaten!

So the expression in his eyes looking at those creatures gradually became a little wrong.

Angela, who was walking in the front, heard his footsteps slow down and couldn’t help but look back at him. Seeing him staring straight up, she couldn’t help asking strangely: “Renault, what are you looking at?”

After hearing the girl’s question, he didn’t even move his eyes, and replied without thinking: “There is food on it, a lot…”

Soon he added another sentence: “Angela, Uncle Moos, there are many strange creatures on it, which may be dangerous. Be careful…”

Moose immediately became alert when he heard the words, drew out the two giant swords behind his back with both hands, and assumed a vigilant posture. Angela did the same and picked up her one-handed sword and light shield.

The movements of the two completely broke the silence, and there was an astonishing change in the quiet forest.

In the gloomy canopy, a pair of light spots appeared. Looking up, at least a few hundred pairs of light spots appeared on nearby trees.

The three quickly realized what these light spots were.

They are eyes!

Each pair of eyes represents a creature, that is to say, there are at least a few hundred creatures around!

And these creatures are observing the three of them.
