After the Hunters Association arrived at the western coastline of the Darkness Continent, they didn't explore further.
One of their goals in coming to the Darkness Continent was to capture Bujand alive or kill him on the spot.
Therefore, the association set up camp at the edge of the forest near the coastline and built a temporary base.
This place was located at the edge of the Darkness Continent and should be one of the places with the lowest level of danger.
However, perhaps because the creatures of the Darkness Continent were more xenophobic or sensitive to the smell of outsiders, ever since the association set up camp in the forest, there would be groups of creatures coming out from the depths of the forest every once in a while and attacking the association's temporary base. To be more precise, they were attacking humans.
The stone beetles Nitro was defending against were actually just one of the many lines of defense at night. The group of creatures coming toward their base wasn't just the stone beetles.
Therefore, when the tremors in the forest subsided, Kang Zai guessed that his colleagues in charge of the other lines of defense should have killed off the threat.
"Judging from the sound earlier, we might be able to have more food tomorrow."
Yin Da said without raising his head as he used the instrument he carried with him to monitor the value of the stone beetle's heart.
"Ha, it's all thanks to this group of people who took the initiative to send food to our door. Ever since we came here, we didn't have to worry about food reserves at all." Kang Zai's eyes lit up. Thinking that he could eat meat again, his mouth watered.
Pijoen took out a notebook and wrote down the numbers of the Stone Beetle's various abilities. He even drew out a specific proportion of its body size. The work experience he had accumulated from taking on numerous private jobs was on full display at this moment.
Nitro glanced at Kang Zai. It was rare that his opinion was the same as Kang Zai's.
Although they hadn't really come into contact with the strange biosphere of the Darkness Continent, they were still able to see the tip of the iceberg even at the edge of the Darkness Continent.
These aggressive animals and plants all possessed a certain degree of threat. At the same time, they also had extremely high nutritional value and delicious taste.
"In a sense, this place is really suitable for retirement."
Nitro sighed inexplicably. He then came to Yin Da's side and asked, "How is it? Can this small piece of meat be eaten? "
Yin Da stared at the numbers displayed on the portable device and nodded. "It's edible, and the quality and quantity of nutrients it contains are very high. No, compared to its size, it can be said to be unreasonably high."
As he spoke, he once again used a pair of tweezers to hold the gray stone beetle heart, which was the size of a quail egg, in front of his eyes. His eyes were filled with curiosity.
Based on his limited vocabulary, the most appropriate words he could think of were — small in stature, big in strength!
Hearing Yin Da's evaluation, Nitro immediately decided to harvest all the hearts of the Stone Beetles.
In such a volatile environment, the association would never let go of any resources that could be used, whether it was for logging information or as food.
Not to mention this kind of ultra-compressed portable material.
"Compared to Norb's four-dimensional apartment, Tocarino's storage capacity is still quite limited. That guy …"
Nitro glanced at the hundreds of stone beetle corpses around him. Although there was very little meat to be taken away, he could not help but think of Norb's fourth-dimensional apartment.
If there was such a convenient ability, the manpower and resource pressure they faced after setting up camp would directly drop from the peak to the bottom.
It could only be said that Law acted too quickly and snatched Norb away before the association.
Thinking of this, Nitro slapped his forehead and said, "According to Yin Da, this small piece of meat is worth harvesting, then we'll harvest it all."
"Understood!"
Yin Da and Kang Zai both responded.
"I need to record the specific value of the stone beetle heart, so you guys can go ahead."
After Pijoen entered into work mode, his usual lazy attitude of playing with his phone suddenly disappeared. He avoided Nitro's orders with an unquestionable tone and took over Yin Da's monitoring device.
After all, they had been colleagues for a long time, so Nitro and the other two were very familiar with Pijoen's behavior. After that, they did not say anything. They all took sharp scalpels and began to cut up the stone beetle corpses.
Less than ten minutes after they started dissecting, a snow-white pigeon flew in front of them.
"Coo coo."
After the pigeon landed, it chirped a few times at them.
This was to inform them that tonight's work was done and they could now return to the camp.
However, Nitro and the others still had to spend some time dissecting the stone beetle corpses, so they asked Pijoen to write a note and hang it on their feet.
Then, the pigeon left and flew in the direction of the camp.
Three kilometers away, the Hunters' Association's camp was rooted in the ground. It faced the forest and was backed by the flat rocky ground, the sea, and the sky.
It was only a few hundred meters away from the forest.
It could be said that the Association did not consider the water source at all when they chose to set up camp. It was really at the edge of the forest.
There were no tents in the camp, but wooden houses built with solid wood were arranged in an orderly manner.
The pigeon flew straight into the camp and landed in the hands of Young Chicken Crook, who was wearing a tube top and hot pants.
She took the note from the pigeon's feet and opened it. Then, she immediately informed Kita Yoshida, who was organizing the log-in information in the treehouse.
After listening to Crook's report, Kita Yoshida looked at the note and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Also, don't let down your guard at all."
"Got it. Naggy. So annoying."
Crook replied in a drawling voice. Then, she opened the door and went out of the treehouse.
Kita Yoshida looked at the closed door and shook her head slightly. She was already used to Crook's attitude.
Outside the treehouse, Crook stretched her body, revealing her alluring curves.
It seemed that she had a habit of dressing like this, so even though she was in the forest, she still did not change her style of dressing. Her fair skin was exposed to the air.
After stretching her body, she whistled softly at the pigeons perched on the treehouse, and the flock of pigeons flapped their wings and flew into the forest.
[Where Letters Return]
This was her telekinesis ability, which allowed her to control ordinary pigeons to deliver letters.
As the hunters in the association were scattered all over the world, their whereabouts and communication were very unstable. Therefore, whenever the association needed to inform everyone about something important, they would use Crook's ability.
Her ability allowed her to send out close to 1,000 letters at once, and she could ensure that the letters would be delivered to the recipient.
Other than this ability, she could also distribute the pigeons to the surroundings of a place to act as a lookout.
She was basically in charge of the operation of the camp's security line. Once she discovered a threat in advance, she would inform the members of the defense team through radio or carrier pigeons depending on the situation.
As the pigeons she controlled were not psychic beasts, the upper limit of her ability's effect was very high. Therefore, she could set up and develop some side functions.
Putting aside the difficulty of nurturing, Crook could extract the information that the carrier pigeons saw and heard. This was also the reason why she could hear Kang Zai complaining about her in the forest.
Other than that, the ability's effect, [Letters Return], was also a crucial weapon for finding people.
The Darkness Continent was so big. If the association wanted to catch Bujand, they would have to rely on Crook's ability.
Crook controlled the carrier pigeons to set up the security line. Soon after, she saw the members of the defense team returning to the camp.
The leader was Porter Bai, who was carrying an unknown humanoid creature in his hand. It looked like a dwarf …
"So ugly, disgusting!"
