Spiral leaves were similar to earth's mimosa plants. Because they couldn't move freely, their extremely quick reactions could protect them from being harmed by other creatures. Furthermore, other animals in the forest relied on spiral leaves to guard against dangers in their surroundings! Furthermore, when small creatures fell into their leaves, they could swiftly retract them, trapping and digesting the small creatures within; obtaining additional nutrients.
Of course, when the na'vi needed tents and burlap sacks, the stem of spiral leaves could be used as an exceptional raw material. If they were crafting gorgeous ceremonial robes or other attire, then after killing a peacock deer and burying it beneath the roots of a spiral leaf, it would only require a week before the spiral leaf would wither and bear fruit.
Then, when it withered and aged, the leaves it shed would be exceptionally gorgeous and exquisite, as though it was commemorating its own withering. This was the final raw material used to craft garments. It was said that in the avatar world, the na'vi extracted the orange essence of spiral leaves and used it as a pigment.
Hence, upon seeing spiral leaves, it was like seeing a farmer's field. One could almost confirm that the na'vi's were within reach, or at least had already entered their circle of life.
38 seconds after Makaji's warning, this temporary squad suffered an ambush!
The one who suffered the ambush wasn't anyone else, but Makaji himself.
To be more precise, the one who suffered the ambush was the PVB polycarbonate fibre thermoplastic glass window of Makaji's' AMP Suit '. According to the instruction manual, this glass window could effectively defend against 14.5mm bullets.
A genuine long arrow accurately struck the glass window, and bluntly ricocheted off. However, the rigid arrowhead still left a thumb-sized crack on the glass window. Roughly 8 cm behind the crack, was Makaji's left eye.
7 seconds after the arrow landed, Lille picked it up, and a minute and 13 seconds later, it was passed to Reef.
The arrow was at least 2 metres long. The arrowhead had already shattered, but one could still vaguely see that it was crafted from volcanic glass.
To a human, to fire such an arrow was truly a difficult task.
But to the Na 'vi who had an average height of 3 metres, and strength 4 times that of an average human, drawing a bow made from the branches of the Hometree and shooting out a 2 metre long arrow was as natural as breathing, eating or sleeping. It was as adept as a butcher cutting pork. Because to them, failing to hit their target was a matter of life and death – truly a matter of life and death.
A life of starvation.
People often said that certain hobbies were like their second lives. For example, Edison to photography, Jordan to basketball, Rolling Earth to writing, Sarido to post bars, or Er Wa to lolis. But to a na'vi, their lives depended on archery … … .this was the frightening aspect of a na'vi's archery skills.
Perhaps the contestants present hadn't just thought of this point, but there was always a gap between imagination and reality. When a living example was placed in front of their eyes, the persuasiveness was as clear and distinct as a D * * * in tight clothes. For a moment, everyone in the team felt like they were in a dilemma.
"They're afraid, they're worried. If not, that arrow would've been aimed at you guys and not me. "The ambushed Makaji suddenly spoke out.
"When a dog sees a tough opponent, it will bark especially loudly. When a cobra sees a tough opponent, its neck will swell and erect. This is actually a form of deterrence and warning. Have you ever seen a dog barking threateningly at a bone? If it has absolute confidence, why would a cobra erect and swell? To scare away its prey? It would then unhesitatingly chomp down on its prey! "
One had to admit, Makaji's words came at the right time. His words caused the declining morale of the party to slowly rise. In actual fact, no matter who it was, once they thought of the words' the enemy is afraid of me ', their spirits would be invigorated and their morale would multiply.
After trekking for 70-80 metres, the party's vision suddenly cleared up. They could distinctly see the forest ahead had thinned out. Even the little grass on the ground seemed to be prostrating themselves in reverence.
What was even more strange was that some of the seemingly heavy stones were actually floating in the air. They even floated with a sense of righteousness, and it was difficult to press them down with force. A large amount of soil had even accumulated on the stones, and some moss and lush shrubs had even grown on them. Such a scene couldn't help but remind them of Nagrand … … (Those who don't play WOW can ignore this sentence).
Naturally, this was the miraculous aspect of Pandora's Superconducting Crystal. Not only could such an expensive mineral maintain its superconducting properties under normal temperatures, it could even resonate with the planet's magnetic field to form a permanent magnetic vortex that floated in mid-air. This signified that the party had arrived at their destination. But to obtain the item they wanted, they still had to continue advancing into the core region.
After walking for less than five minutes, they could see a towering tree standing in the middle of the dense forest. This tree had luxuriant branches and leaves, and was nearly a hundred meters tall. Its chest was so wide that it would take at least forty people to wrap their arms around it. The first branch that was 40 meters above the ground had a diameter of 4 meters! At the roots near the ground, a large number of huge plank-like roots were embedded deep into the soil like tentacles. The soft and tough bark on the surface had another characteristic: As the trunk thickened, it could regularly split into deep grooves, up to half a meter deep!
Such a colossal tree, just by looking at it from the side, it gave off an awe-inspiring and solemn feeling. It exhibited a slight spiral growth, and the parts of the tree near the ground were already adorned with numerous decorations. This should be the na'vi's indication that they had already occupied it. Moreover, at the base of the tree, one could already see a lofty entrance and exit cave. From this, one could infer that its interior must be hollow. Although there was still a considerable distance between them, everyone could sense a solemn divine might emanating from this colossal tree. They couldn't help but prostrate themselves in worship towards it.
In this instance, 3 arrows whizzed in from the heavens!
Sheyan and Reef appeared relatively calm. Because they were fortunate enough to witness the archery skills of the uruk-hai leader, Lurtz, they couldn't help but feel as though they had seen the vast ocean before. More importantly, these 3 arrows weren't aimed at them. Instead, they were aiming for the 'AMP Suit' that Makaji had probably spent a huge amount of time and money to exchange for!
Naturally, these 3 na'vi had definitely fought with humans before, and had even suffered greatly from the 'AMP Suit'. Therefore, they had listed it as their primary threat. Their choice couldn't be said to be wrong, but the cruel reality was:
In this dense forest, the greatest threat to them definitely wasn't the fully armed 'AMP Suit'. Instead, it was Lille, a close combat agility specialist whose speed was even faster than them!
In the instance of the enemy's assault, the tensed up contestants simultaneously did two things. Firstly, it was to evade, and secondly, it was to counterattack. Moreover, Uzel had once again proven his worth. A clear 3D image was transmitted to everyone through the nightmare imprint.

*****
Although Makaji was a genuine biologist, he was also a genuine contestant. Moreover, he was a contestant who was able to survive into the realm war. This signified that he had definitely undergone sufficient trials of bloodshed and violence.
Hence, after successively receiving 4 arrows, the glass of the 'AMP Suit' cockpit started to crack like a spider web. Without hesitation, he controlled this formidable machine from the future, and raised his ferocious firepower GAU-90 30mm rapid-fire cannon to aim over. Then, with a pained and vengeful fury, he forcefully pulled the trigger.
Massive amounts of 'Scorching Depleted Uranium' armor-piercing bullets dragged along a long trail of flames as they flew out. Piercing sonic booms resounded through the air, as they struck the primitive forest's branches and leaves, filling the air with smoke! (To be continued.)
