Junero and Reyne walked towards the village, but there were primitive corpses everywhere along the way. Junero carefully examined the injuries on these corpses. They were almost all scratched by some kind of wild beast, and there were two types of scratches on their bodies. One of the scratches was bigger and deeper, revealing the bone. The other type of scratch marks were much smaller, so it shouldn't be fatal. However, the blood flowing out from the small scratch marks was obviously black. Junero suspected that these primitive people had black blood. However, the rotten flesh around the small scratch marks was slowly rotting at a speed visible to the naked eye. It was very likely that the small scratch marks were poisoned. These corpses had just appeared here not long ago. If nothing went wrong, the two of them would follow the road leading to the primitive village. It was very likely that they would encounter the two beasts. Junero determined that some kind of beast on the shell of the world turtle was teaching its children to hunt.
"Reyne, it seems like these primitive people were attacked by some kind of wild beast.”Junero rubbed the blood on the primitive man's body. It was still warm, proving that his previous judgment was correct.
"That shouldn't be the case. There shouldn't be a beast of such size in the forest that could injure a primitive man.”Reyne walked over and squatted beside a corpse. She looked at the scratches on the corpse. They weren't caused by some particularly large wild beast. However, a normal wild beast, even a wild beast like a bear, shouldn't be able to hurt this group of primitive people who were full of aggression and were under control. Furthermore, so many primitive people had been killed.
"Are there no wild beasts in the forest that can cause such damage?”Junero was puzzled. After all, he had just climbed onto the back of the World Turtle and did not know anything about this place.
" There aren't any in the forest, but there's a group of 'corpse crabs' living on the edge of the World Turtle's shell. However, they're docile and live almost at the edge of the shell. They look for the shed skin that falls off the World Turtle's body and won't attack other creatures for no reason. Moreover, the wounds they cause are definitely not like this.”Reyne answered. She had come into close contact with the Corpse Crabs after coming to the World Turtle, and she had been quite frightened by them. Although the Corpse Crabs were ugly and even looked a little evil, they were very friendly.
" Reyne, we have to hurry to the village. I'm a little worried about my little brother.”Junero was no longer calm. It was an unknown beast that even primitive people could not fight against. Kite, that little brat, did not know how to fight. Once he encountered it, it would definitely be difficult for him to escape.
"Yes!" Reyne stood up, the heavy armor on her body rattling. For some reason, the originally quiet forest seemed to have been awakened by Reyne's actions.
"Buzz…"
The World Turtle let out a long howl again, and the entire forest trembled. Junero could feel that the World Turtle was a little uneasy or irritated at this time. He did not know what Lanik was doing in the World's Bighead Department. This long howl was probably caused by Lanik.
The shaking of the " earth " gradually subsided, and the voice of the World Turtle also dissipated in the sky. For some reason, the sound of wild beasts came from the forest. Junero thought that it might be the beast that attacked the primitive man, but there were too many sounds. There were wolf howls, tiger howls, and some unknown sounds. The originally quiet forest seemed to have suddenly put on a wild party. Under the guidance of the World Turtle, the forest suddenly boiled.
"What happened?" The originally dark forest gradually lit up. The tree trunks around him slowly emitted a blue light, which became brighter and brighter, illuminating everything around them.
"I don't know!" Reyne didn't know what was going on either. This was the first time she had encountered something like this ever since she came to the World Turtle's Back. She never expected that the trees in the forest would actually emit blue light. It felt like the entire tree trunk was like a light stick.
Sven, who was not far away in the forest, also asked everyone to split up. There was no longer a need to group up and advance with torches. After the World Turtle's inexplicable restlessness, the entire forest became strange. Although there were wild beasts howling around him, he did not see them. Moreover, they did not have any intention of attacking him.
"What did Lanik do?" Junero extinguished the kerosene lamp in his hand. He didn't need it anymore. He could clearly see everything around him through the light emitted by the tree trunk.
"Who is it? Your companion?" Reyne was also a little interested in Junero. After all, the World Turtle wasn't something that just anyone could encounter. She had searched for a long time before finally finding the World Turtle. She didn't expect to meet Junero here.
"Yes, my companion, the ship doctor of our pirate group. He's a guy who's full of curiosity about any unknown creature. I suspect that he was the one who caused the World Turtle's restlessness just now.”Junero said. Ranick must have done something to the World Turtle. After all, he was a doctor, or rather, a biologist.
" It sounds like you pirates are quite interesting. A missing friend and a doctor who actually did something to the World Turtle, hehehe…" Reyne teased.
" Wait…" Junero stopped Rainy. He felt something in front of him, and Junero's face was filled with wariness. Reyne was stopped by Junero, and she looked ahead as well. She could vaguely sense something moving ahead.
After a while, two black shadows quickly shuttled between the trees. One big and one small, they took turns and moved towards the two of them. The two of them took a defensive stance. Junero was now a little sure of his deduction. It was probably a wild beast teaching his children to hunt.
A small shadow jumped out and stood in front of the two of them, hissing in alarm. Junero took a look and saw that it was a cat. It had dark blue fur, a pair of golden eyes like copper bells, and three tails on its butt. This was the first time he had seen such a cat. He could not help but praise the great sea route for its wonders. No wonder Lanik was so interested in the rare beasts here.
"Swoosh!"
"Oh no!"
Junero was attracted by the three-tailed cat in front of him, and he didn't even have time to react. The large black shadow had already circled around the two of them and jumped towards Reyne. Fortunately, Reyne's reaction was still fast. She drew her sword with a swoosh and blocked the black shadow's attack. The black shadow's attack failed to succeed. It hurriedly jumped back, rolled around, and landed steadily on the ground.
Just as Reyne was about to launch an attack, Junero unexpectedly stopped her." Wait, Reyne, he seems to be my younger brother…" The black shadow in front of her was a cat with black fur. It had a pair of big ears and a long tail, but none of that mattered. The important thing was that Junero saw the catman's eyes clearly. It was a pair of blue eyes that were exactly the same as Kate's.
" Kate!?"
Junero asked with uncertainty. After all, Kate had eaten the demon fruit and obtained an ability, but he didn't know what it was. He only knew that after eating it, her eyes became like a cat's and her vision was extremely good. Junero guessed as he looked at the catman's body size, which was almost the same as Kate's. Moreover, the black hair on his body matched Kate's hair perfectly, and his eyes were identical to Kate's.
When the cat man heard the name " Kate," his body trembled.
