Chapter 573: 559 Park Sudden Change
The injured Linlang Luan bird was taken into the gigantic medical cabin on the Golden Great Sail Ship by Bai Zhongqi, where Zhongqi also moonlighted as a medical worker to obtain the genetic material of the Linlang Luan bird for the Swarm's evolution.
Bai Zhongqi ferociously killed an official's son from the Star Alliance. Originally, Lan Xue had been clamoring to sell the Linlang Luan bird, worth millions, for cash, but now she fell silent, not uttering a word.
Bai Zhongqi composed himself and continued "adventuring" with Lan Xue on this planet. To Bai Zhongqi, the entire Hunting Planet felt like a world of pet sprites, only more ferocious and bloody. People came here with different motives, capturing the living creatures without hesitation to slaughter them.
It was supposed to be a relaxing trip, but after encountering an idiot, Bai Zhongqi faintly felt it was difficult to truly escape the shadows of the duties he was meant to perform.
After nightfall, Bai Zhongqi and Lan Xue sat in a suitable location in the dense forest for making camp, and they lit a bonfire while Bai Zhongqi set up the tents. Seeing Bai Zhongqi do this, Lan Xue completely gave up on the fantasy of resting in her single room with a large bed hidden inside the Golden Great Sail Ship that he didn't know where.
Bai Zhongqi easily caught several big fish weighing around four or five kilograms each, non-aggressive, seemingly low on the food chain in this planet's aquatic environment. While fishing, he also encountered a water turtle with spiny scales trying to attack him, but naturally, Bai Zhongqi killed it with a punch. However, the turtle meat was not good, and the shell was troublesome to handle, so Bai Zhongqi chose to eat the fish instead.
Simplistically grilled with spices and salt grains from several different planets, the taste was still quite good.
"Uncle, we didn't get much of a harvest today other than that Linlang Luan bird. There are plenty of creatures in this forest, but not many valuable ones. The legendary Hydra is said to be over a thousand kilometers away in the Deep Abyss Valley; we should head there," Lan Xue quickly forgot the uncle's terrifying aspect and began whispering in his ear again, urging him to take her to capture a high-level monster.
Bai Zhongqi smiled and asked, "They say that Hydra is huge, hundreds of meters long; even if you catch it, how would you maintain it? Be careful, or you might be eaten by it instead."
Lan Xue, hands on her hips, defiantly said, "Don't underestimate me, uncle. Although that Hydra is big and powerful, it's not as formidable as the big leg I'm hugging. I believe you can definitely subdue the Hydra and make it obey me like a little kitten."
Bai Zhongqi helplessly shook his head, "Let's not dream such wild dreams."
Just as they were talking, Bai Zhongqi's expression suddenly changed subtly.
Lan Xue was curious, "Uncle, what's wrong, did you get a stomachache?"
Suddenly, the ground began to tremble, and numerous monsters living there started howling towards the sky.
Lan Xue's complexion also changed, "What's... what's happening?"
In the night sky lit by the stars, countless flying monsters took off from the ground, emitting sharp cries, covering the sky like a dense cloud. The ground continuously vibrated with the sound of countless animals running.
Bai Zhongqi was able to discern two things from the chaos of screams that had just occurred.
One was a cry of fear, while the other was a voice of vengeance.
Bai Zhongqi wasn't sure why he could discern such meaning, but he knew that something extraordinary was unfolding on Hunting Planet.
"We're moving, no camping, take care to protect yourself and do not let the creatures here harm you," he said.
Aside from the vast number of weak creatures used to stabilize the food chain, Hunting Planet also harbored creatures of considerable strength and rarity. These creatures were inherently dangerous, and even fully armed soldiers had difficulty combating some monsters without a systematic combat force.
Bai Zhongqi jumped into the hover car, picking up the large sniper rifle in his hand, equipment he had obtained from killing that fool. This heavy individual weapon fired electromagnetic accelerated bullets designed for hunting, with controlled power to injure rather than kill the prey outright.
However, after adjustment, it was powerful enough to harm many large dangerous creatures, and its firing rate could be adjusted to at least one and a half rounds per second in semi-automatic mode, making it quite an effective hunting weapon.
As soon as the hover car started, some creatures noticed and charged towards them with blood-red eyes and fierce roars, causing Lan Xue's face to turn pale with fright.
Bai Zhongqi, calm and composed, used the electromagnetic sniper rifle to continuously kill several creatures. Seeing the overwhelming numbers, he extended his left hand and released his trusty single-soldier lethal Flying Knife Mantis.
Lan Xue was slightly reassured, knowing she should be safe with Bai Zhongqi by her side. She worriedly asked, "Uncle, what's happening? Why did the park suddenly become chaotic?"
Beneath the moon and stars, the hover car flew low at just over thirty meters, high enough to overlook the jungle floor, where disturbances continuously arose, indicating that a large number of creatures were going berserk. The unceasing gunfire also signaled that these rampaging creatures were clashing with visitors who had entered the park.
Bai Zhongqi did not answer Lan Xue; he was observing everything himself.
"Ah, ordinary visitors, if they don't have powerful weapons, facing such a large number of rampaging creatures, will die terribly," Lan Xue said, her face deathly pale.
Indeed, upon entering Hunting Planet, the park management made visitors sign a waiver, stating that no matter what happened to them in the park, even if they lost their lives or were eaten by creatures for breakfast, it had nothing to do with the management, as they had signed such a "life and death document" before entering the park.
Still, despite this, many people could not resist the allure of Hunting Planet, preparing a large amount of high-level weaponry, hiring professionally skilled bodyguards, and forming teams to explore new areas.
This did not change the fact that every year, Hunting Planet saw as many as thousands of casualties. Indeed, these real injuries and deaths seemed to enhance the thrill of Hunting Planet, engrossing many people.
Bai Zhongqi still opted to land on a huge tree with Lan Xue. Staying in the air would make them a very large target, and although he could easily handle these creatures, he preferred not to bother.
"These creatures are acting with organization; they essentially split into different species groups, attacking in various directions. Their apparent target seems to be the visitors entering the park, and the effectiveness of their attack appears to be quite substantial," he said.
