Following Dias and Cary's suggestion, Cillin selected three hunting planets. They were more familiar with hunting planets, and they knew which planets were more suitable for the squad's current situation. When the time came, they would choose the most suitable planet according to the current situation.
There were three purposes for going hunting. One was to stock up on food, two was to get some good stuff to sell for money, and three was for everyone to get some exercise and practice.
Due to the current situation, the main targets of hunting had changed a little. In the past, they mainly went for rare species, but now they mainly hunted for meat. After all, not many people liked to eat nutrient pills and drink nutrient fluids all day long.
Due to the current situation, the meat produced by the farms of the large financial groups was more expensive. Even so, the supply still couldn't meet the demand. Armies from all sides needed it. Hunters, on the other hand, were more inclined to solve the food problem themselves. Because of this, fights between hunters often broke out on hunting planets after the situation became chaotic. Many people never returned from hunting planets. Some of them were killed by exotic beasts while hunting, while others were killed by other hunters.
Before they left for the hunting planet, Cillin had asked Cary to explain the situation of the hunting star zone to the newbies and the things they needed to pay attention to once they arrived. During the hunt, not only would they have to face alien beasts that were more cunning than normal beasts, they would also have to be on guard against other hunters that were hiding in the dark.
Since there weren't many people in the team, the demand for food wasn't high. Therefore, they chose a hunting planet with commercial value. Some of the exotic beasts there were more difficult to hunt, but their value was also much higher. Now that there were fewer people hunting these exotic beasts, their prices were gradually rising. For Huimao, this was undoubtedly a good opportunity to make some money.
Silin had asked Huimao if it wanted to visit the planet it used to live on, but Huimao had rejected it decisively. It didn't think there was anything to see there. Moreover, it had only been a few years since they left. It was too short. There was no need.
In other words, there was still a difference in the minds of animals and humans. A person who had been away from their birthplace for a few years might want to go back and take a look, but this cat wouldn't. Right now, it only had eyes for exotic beasts waiting to be slaughtered.
At first, Shusag was worried that Huimao would be traumatized by the idea of hunting exotic beasts, but he soon realized that he was overthinking things.
The starship remained in space outside the planet. Silin and the others took a spaceship to the planet, while the starship hid in stealth mode. There were still quite a few starships outside the planet. There was no need to collide with them.
Sigma and Moon weren't with Silin's group. They had other things to do.
Sigma had set up a small indoor fruit garden on the starship for the sole purpose of enjoying the process. Now that it had followed Silin and the others to a hunting planet, Sigma's goal was to grow all kinds of fruit trees that were highly nutritious and tasty. Once these fruit trees were planted on the starship, not only would Silin and the others be able to eat fresh fruits, but they could also be made into nutrient fluids and used to make their own food and clothing.
That was why Sigma and Moon had gone off to search for saplings and seeds. They would keep in touch with Silin and the others until they had to leave. Moreover, Silin had a feeling that Moon would be able to protect himself. The two robots might look harmless, but they were very destructive. Besides, Moon might be a robot, but he was smarter than some of the old guys. Silin wasn't worried that they would be tricked.
After collecting their equipment, Silin and the others entered the forest. The exotic beasts they were looking for weren't here. Instead, they had to pass through the forest to reach the rocky area. The reason they started in the forest was because they were looking for meat in the forest. It was also a warm-up activity.
Cillin's group was spread out in a specific formation. They would form groups of two or three, and there was a certain distance between each group. However, if a group were to meet with an accident, the others would be able to rush over to their rescue. Moreover, this formation could also warn each other and form a relatively safe area.
Silin and Eudy were in a group. The Miantuan, the little chameleon, lay obediently on Eudy's shoulder. It was the weakest fighter in the team, so the Miantuan, who was always afraid of death, was especially obedient at times like this.
In contrast, Huimao was bouncing left and right like an ADHD patient. Silin told it not to run around and disturb the prey, so Huimao could only jump around Silin's area, roll around, and chew on some grass. If it sensed prey, it wouldn't need Silin or Eudy to do anything.
The others had already started hunting. What Silin could hear wasn't the sound of gunshots, but the soft sound of bullets hitting the bones of the prey. The bullets and firearms used for hunting were different from the ones they usually used. The firearms were well silenced. There were transport robots transporting the prey onto the spaceplane, so all they had to do was hunt.
"What do you think about that incident?" Eudy asked Silin in a low voice.
Knowing that Eudy was talking about the transport ship they encountered not long ago, Silin answered, "I'm not sure yet. The transport ship should belong to the Douance Family, but we have no clue who the killers are. After all, it's possible that anyone could've done it given the current situation. "
"Those lunatics at Sector V. Do you think it's possible?" Eudy asked again.
Among Silin's suspects, the people at Sector V were also at the top of his list. They were a bunch of lunatics. It was fine if you didn't mess with them, but once you did, it was very difficult to shake them off. Moreover, those people were bloodthirsty. They enjoyed the pleasure of killing. Judging from the terrible state of the transport ship, it was possible that they were the culprits.
Ever since Silin killed the Lone Hunter Oskulos, the people who were once suppressed by Oskulos were now venting their bloodlust all over the League of Stars. According to Silin's information, similar incidents had happened many times in the League of Stars already. However, Silin rejected this speculation later on.
"They're organized and planned. Also, they made the transport ship's captain and the escort captain disappear to cover up their tracks. If it's those people at Sector V, why would they do that?"
"That's true. Also, the miasma gas doesn't look like something the people at Sector V would use. If it's them, I think it's more likely to be a bomb."
"It looks like you don't think it's them either." Silin looked at Eudy.
Eudy sighed, "Right now, the entire League of Stars is like a shroud of mist. Some people look like they're getting along well on the surface, but who knows how many times they've fought each other behind the scenes. The military, the government, and the big families all have their own trump cards. The chaos might look sudden, but in reality, all parties were prepared for it since a long time ago. The signs were there even before you went missing, and even the tiniest spark could cause a great riot. It was only when Oskulos, one of the Star Rank Hunters, was rumored to be dead that the chaos erupted. "
Silin suddenly remembered something, "Where did the news of Oskulos' death come from?"
"I heard that it's from Sector V, or they wouldn't have attacked us so openly and declared that they've established a Freedom Alliance."
Silin remembered that the only people who knew that he killed Oskulos were Ji Feng, Gadar, and 'Azrael'. The one who spread the news had to be one of them, or someone else. These people were all hoping to reap enough benefits from the chaos. It could be anyone.
"What's wrong? Did you think of something?" Eudy asked.
"I'm trying to figure out who spread the news. The person who spread the news must be hoping that the League of Stars will fall into chaos."
"That's true, and they're using the thugs at Sector V to create chaos."
"If you were in my shoes, who would you suspect if you had to choose from Ji Feng, Gadar, or 'Azrael'?" Silin looked at Eudy.
Eudy paused and looked a little serious, "Do you know something, Silin?"
Silin didn't say anything and waited for Eudy's answer.
Eudy thought carefully for a moment. He hadn't stopped collecting information since he left the Sixth Division, and he had stolen a lot of information from a lot of forces during the chaos. He just hadn't told anyone about it.
"The news of Oskulos' death was leaked by the leader of a violent organization at Sector V, but I don't know who told him. It was a fuse that caused the chaos that had been brewing in the League of Stars for a long time to erupt all at once. As for the people you mentioned, to be honest, any one of them is a possibility. If they really know the truth, they'll spread the news. " Eudy didn't hold back just because Ji Feng was the regiment commander. He told Cillin his thoughts and the information he had gathered in the past, hoping that it would serve as a reference.
After Eudy was done, Silin smiled. "You've said a lot. It sounds like it wasn't easy to get all this information, is it? Then let me tell you something else. Oskulos is dead. I killed him. "
Eudy nearly fell to the ground when his legs gave out. The Miantuan on his shoulder rolled on the ground before climbing back up to Eudy's shoulder in a hurry.
"Are you … serious?"
"It was because of Oskulos that I left the base. That being said, I would've died a long time ago if Czedow and Wheeze hadn't helped me. "
Eudy stuck his fingers through his hair and scratched his scalp hard. Then, he looked at Silin and chuckled. "It looks like I'm following an amazing captain." A thought occurred to Eudy, and he added, "Don't worry, I won't leak this information to anyone. Speaking of which, did the people you mentioned know about it? "
"Yes."
The duo analyzed the current situation for a moment. Then, Shusag sent them a message through the communicator saying that they had run into two heavily injured Hunters.
"What's wrong?" Kari and Xiao Shang ran over to ask Silin.
"It's nothing. Eudy, you head toward the destination with Kari and the others. I'll go check on Shusag."
After informing Huimao, Silin ran toward Shusag himself.
Shusag, Tesoro, and Ba Dao were in the same group. Since they weren't normal humans, they got along pretty well.
Lying in front of the trio were two heavily injured Hunters. Their bones were broken in many places, and their internal organs were damaged to varying degrees. They needed to be treated as soon as possible. Some of their injuries were caused by alien beasts, while others were caused by humans.
It was the younger-looking man who helped his comrade over and asked for help from Shusag and the other two.
"If it's not convenient for you to help, you can sell me some stimulant potions and nutrient pills." The young man took out a blood-stained debit card and slid his finger across it. The amount inside was displayed on the card: 100000.
When Silin arrived, he saw the young man talking with Shusag and Ba Dao about buying stimulant potions, nutrient pills, and some other healing medicine. At the same time, the young man was hinting to Shusag and the others not to think about killing them and robbing them. Though the two of them were heavily injured, a fight to the death might not end well for Shusag and the others.
Silin looked at the young man with an odd expression. What a coincidence. He wasn't sure if he was unlucky or overly lucky.
"Captain."
When Ba Dao saw Cillin, he briefly explained what happened just now and the young man's request. They did have stimulating drugs and nutrient pills, but as a Hunter he had seen too many deceptions and deceptions. Ba Dao didn't know if he should just kill these two people and be done with them, or make a deal with them. That was why Shusag reported to Silin and let Silin make the decision. He didn't expect Silin to come to him directly.
Glancing at the young man on the ground, Silin sat down on a piece of dirt nearby. "Repeat what you just said."
The young man repeated his request patiently. He didn't mention anything about their identities or the reason why they were in this state. As a fellow Hunter, Ba Dao didn't ask for the details because he knew he wouldn't get any useful information even if he forced it.
"Yeah," Silin replied noncommittally. "How many stimulant potions and nutrient pills do you want?"
The young man was about to answer when he sensed something and turned his head to look. He saw a fat cat with a sparrow in its mouth running towards him at a speed that did not match its size. It was even running and jumping, jumping from tree trunk to the ground, then to the trunk of another tree. It looked like the fat cat was in a good mood.
However, because of this cat, the young man's words stopped abruptly. His face contorted into a grimace.
Shusag and the other two, including the young man's companion, didn't understand why the young man looked like he wanted to sh * t when he saw Huimao running toward him with a sparrow in its mouth. His entire body stiffened.
Huimao didn't look at the others when it ran over with the sparrow in its mouth. It jumped onto Silin's shoulder and was slapped down by Silin.
"If you want to play, go play somewhere else." Silin knew Huimao well enough to know that the cat only caught the sparrow as a toy. If the sparrow was still alive, it would swallow it. If it was dead, it wouldn't eat it.
The sparrow in Huimao's mouth was still kicking. Its wings, which were pinned down by the cat's teeth, didn't vibrate much, but it seemed to be alive and well.
With the sparrow in its mouth, Huimao was about to go play on the grass when its eyes swept across the stiff young man who looked like he wanted to stuff his head into his pants. Suddenly, Huimao's eyes lit up.
"Meow! Aren't you the Ghost Butterfly kid who owes me 1.1 million yuan?! "It emphasized the words" he owes me 1.1 million yuan. "
Guidie Shiqi roared in his heart, "What the f * ck! Why did I run into it again?! "
Guidie Shiqi lay on the ground and didn't say a word. He had already roared in his heart countless times. At the same time, he thought that if the cat was here, the kid had to be nearby as well!
Seeing that Guidie Shiqi didn't say anything, Huimao thought that he still wanted to deny it, so he told him about how Guidie Shiqi owed Silin 1.1 million yuan for a bottle of stimulant potion and a nutrition pill.
In less than two minutes, everyone knew that Guidie Shiqi owed Silin 1.1 million yuan, and that he had been tricked.
"I've already paid back the money!" Guidie Shiqi said through gritted teeth.
"You did owe me, anyway." Huimao ignored the sparrow that had already flapped its wings and ran away. He looked at Guidie Shiqi and the people around him with glowing eyes. "You want to buy potions again?"
Guidie Shiqi didn't say anything, and the people around him were also unusually quiet.
Shusag wanted to laugh. However, he felt that it wasn't the right time to laugh, so he held it in until the muscles on his face twitched. Since Guidie Shiqi didn't say anything, Huimao asked Silin.
"Silin, are they buying potions and pills again? How much do they want this time? Let me calculate the price."
Hearing Huimao's words, Guidie Shiqi suddenly looked up at Huimao, then followed Huimao's line of sight to the person sitting on the dirt block.
"Silin?"
"That's me." Silin nodded. "You can't recognize me now that I've changed my appearance."
Guidie Shiqi felt that his luck had been very bad lately. When he decided to ask for help, he had thought of many scenarios and how he should approach the hunters, but he never thought that it would be this person in front of him! Silin looked different from before, but the way he spoke was very familiar to Guidie Shiqi. Coupled with the cat, Guidie Shiqi was sure that it was the person in front of him.
Guidie Shiqi had experienced that kid's character first hand. He was definitely a scumbag! That cat was a scumbag too!
Although Guidie Shiqi looked like he wanted to puke whenever he saw Silin and Huimao, Shusag could tell that Guidie Shiqi was a lot more relaxed than before. After all, they knew each other very well now.
Meanwhile, Sigma had found a few good seedlings, but they were surrounded by thorny bushes. Although it and Moon tried to fly over, the thorny bushes were so thick that they completely surrounded the seedlings. It would take a lot of effort to get them out.
Sigma was about to start when Moon stopped him.
"What's the point?" Moon raised an arm and pulled back his fingers, turning his palm into a cannon.
Boom!
When the dust settled, all the thorny bushes were gone except for the seedlings at the center. Although they were still entangled by some thorny vines, they were a lot easier to deal with than before.
"See? It's so much easier this way!"
Not far away from them, the hunters who thought they had hidden themselves well were also pondering whether they should make a move or not. The two robots before them seemed to be even harder to deal with than those ferocious beasts. Should they make a move or not?
Before they could make up their minds, however, Moon pointed his cannon at the bushes they were hiding in.
After a brief moment of silence, Moon turned to Sigma and said, "Come on, let's keep looking for seedlings and seeds."
Sigma: "..."
Ah Yue's actions kept Cary and the others busy for a while.
