Now reading: Chapter 368 - 248: Surrounded by Predators from Starting Cultivation in Wasteland, a Sci-fi novel by Chen Fengxiao.

Qu Jianlei found guaranteed food and drink upon arriving at Blazing Fire, especially after designing the water-powered generator.

His al standard even exceeded the Mu siblings, mainly because he ate quite a lot.

Even though he’s tried to restrain himself, his appetite is easily equivalent to four or five strong n.

This ti Mu Huahua invited him to hunt, and he felt a little embarrassed to decline.

After staying in the camp for so long, he was feeling a bit restless, wanting to see what the wild animals on this planet were all about.

He left so supplies in the house as there was no need to carry too much while hunting—it would be inconvenient and not good for carrying ga.

He brought a backpack, folding it slightly, so it didn’t look too big.

Together with the pair, there were six C-levels and over seventy modified warriors.

Mu Huahua knew Black Heaven didn’t like, so she didn’t choose Sedifei and Gordo for the hunting team. They stayed at the camp to guard.

The worst in the hunting team were modified warriors, and their travel speed was fast.

They applied substances on their bodies to prevent insect bites, and made minimal movents during travel to avoid triggering unknown dangers.

Even with this, they covered seventy kiloters in just two hours.

Upon arrival, two people responsible for lookout ca forward and pointed into the distance.

Qu Jianlei had already sensed that in the grasslands three kiloters away, there were hundreds of animals sowhat resembling cattle.

These animals are slightly larger than the average cow on Blue Star, about the size of Arican bison.

What surprised him was that these cows had thick outer skeletons, resembling so sort of armored creature.

He couldn’t help but ask, "The outer shell looks thick, isn’t it inedible?"

Mu Huahua replied, "The edible parts are the at wrapped inside the exoskeleton, not much, and then there’s the brain slurry..."

The innards of the armored cattle have so toxicity and can’t be eaten either.

But then she added that now with electricity, we can extract nutrients from inside the exoskeleton.

Before the star thieves arrived, the Pioneer Team tried this thod successfully, but abandoned it later due to inefficiency.

Picking it up again actually brings so joy, indicating the impact on quality of life.

Others were sowhat surprised that Qu Jianlei didn’t even know such ’common sense’.

Thankfully, none of them showed it, just puzzled inwardly: Technological mory remains, but no life common sense?

"Let’s go closer to see," Mu Huahua issued the command, "Be careful, go from the downwind."

Armored cattle are irritable and very sensitive to slls, and these guys are omnivores, eating both grass and at.

The Pioneer Team found it easy to deal with armored cattle herds in the past, treating them as extra als when encountered.

Raising multiple machine guns for sweeping fire plus concentrated laser weapon fire, even the fiercest armored cattle herds had to flee in panic.

But now not only must engage in close combat, upwind and downwind considerations must be made.

Stopping at almost eight hundred ters away from the armored cattle herd, everyone paused as getting closer would easily be noticed.

Now everyone began discussing attack thods, and suddenly Qu Jianlei spoke up, "Are there other animals that also feed on armored cattle?"

Soone nearby was holding a telescope, carefully observing all around, but had not yet found anything.

Mu Huahua asked, "Did you find anything?"

"There are several unusual spots," Qu Jianlei pointed out directions, "We can explore them."

Soon, a C-level Wood Elent Warrior followed his directions, using vegetation to perceive.

Since Gordo didn’t co, they had to rely on wood attributes, which didn’t differ much anyway.

Not long after, the Wood Attribute Warrior retracted perception, looked at Qu Jianlei with a peculiar expression, then gestured a thumbs up.

"Black Heaven is indeed impressive; there’s a poison lizard, two sharp-toothed tigers, and one land crocodile."

Mu Huahua knew Qu Jianlei lacked common knowledge, so she explained that these three animals can all hunt armored cattle.

The poison lizard has a sharp tongue which can pierce weak spots on the armored cattle, injecting venom before it flees.

Its land running speed is fast, making it hard for armored cattle to catch up.

The poison lizard just waits for the armored cattle herd to leave; then it enjoys its poisoned prey leisurely.

This might take a day or two, but it doesn’t care because it feeds on carrion.

The sharp-toothed tiger is much stronger than armored cattle. After ambushing and killing one, if the herd retaliates, it will run in circles.

While escaping, if it finds the opportunity, the sharp-toothed tiger will ambush another armored cattle.

The land crocodile is enormous, fiercely powerful, and its shell is sturdy, unafraid of armored cattle herds—even sharp-toothed tigers avoid it.

But the crocodile is slower, making its hunting efficiency extrely low, often relying on camouflage for ambush.

Now with sharp-toothed tigers around, it has more choices to wait for the tiger to hunt down an armored cattle and then snatch.

As for the armored cattle that the poison lizard might hunt, the crocodile won’t snatch them—the toxicity feels bad even for it.

Mu Huahua succinctly explained the relationships, and couldn’t help exclaiming.

"This herd of armored cattle really has bad luck, being targeted by three parties of Hunters."

A female Modified Warrior nearby smiled and interjected, "It’s not three sides, it’s clearly four."

Everyone laughed softly upon hearing this, but Qu Jianlei asked again, "Which can we eat among the Toxic Lizard, Sharp-toothed Tiger, and the Giant Crocodile?"

"The Toxic Lizard is inedible, and the Sharp-toothed Tiger is tough to eat," Mu Huahua answered promptly.

However, soone cautiously reminded, "The Toxic Lizard’s venom glands are still useful."

Mu Huahua shook her head, "Alright, we’re already down on our luck, no need to ntion it further, right?"

The venom glands were once disregarded, but now they’re seen as "even a mosquito is at."

Qu Jianlei thought it over and spoke, "Then... shall we expose the Toxic Lizard first?"

The C-level Wood Attribute hesitated before softly answering, "But my Vines won’t hold for long."

Another Earth Attribute Warrior stated, "I’m saving my Earth Trap for the Armored Bull herd."

C-level Warriors have poor endurance, best to save their Inner Breath and strength for crucial monts.

Otherwise, Qu Jianlei wouldn’t have been the first to spot these Hunters.

The Warriors are seasoned hunters, their words are spot on.

But Qu Jianlei had a different idea, "Just a slight hindrance with the vines is enough, stopping the Toxic Lizard from escaping smoothly, no need to bind it, right?"

The Wood Attribute Warrior hesitated, noticing Mu Huahua didn’t disagree, he eventually nodded.

"Alright, I’ll give it a try, but can’t guarantee accuracy."

In the next mont, the grass rustled, the Toxic Lizard noticed sothing odd beneath it.

As it cautiously backed away two steps, the grass abruptly tightened, entangling its feet.

In an instant, it was greatly startled, leaping up high and attempting to flee.

Indeed, the Toxic Lizard is a predator, but it’s also on other predators’ nus, its vigilance is second to none.

Yet in the next mont, its body stiffened; it found itself unable to exert force in the air.

Such noise made the Armored Bull herd turn their heads in unison to look.

Seeing it was a Toxic Lizard, dozens of strong Armored Bulls roared lowly, red-eyed, lowering their heads and charging over.

Each Armored Bull weighed over one or two tons, their run shook the earth and mountains.

Even the two Sharp-toothed Tigers and Land Crocodile were shocked at the sight.

They couldn’t have expected anything that would scare the Toxic Lizard like this.

Upon landing, the Toxic Lizard tried to escape, but the grass tangled tightly underfoot.

Moreover, it felt an inexplicable sense of restraint, greatly affecting its movent.

After stumbling a few steps, the Armored Bull herd was already in a frenzy, making it difficult to run steadily on the trembling ground.

In desperation, it wanted to turn and intimidate, but even this usually effortless action ca out awkwardly.

Qu Jianlei squinted at the scene, Gordo with the Wind Attribute hadn’t co, so he used the "Wind Binding Technique" without any reservations.

In the blink of an eye, the Toxic Lizard was stomped into a pulp by the furious Armored Bulls.

The two Sharp-toothed Tigers and Land Crocodile didn’t pay much attention to its fate, presumably they’ve seen this often.

The three of them continued to cautiously look around, a Sharp-toothed Tiger even stood upright from the grass, scanning for nearby dangers.

Its shoulder height was slightly lower than an Armored Bull, but its body length wasn’t much less.

Almost instantly, the Armored Bull herd spotted it, growling quietly.

A dozen strong Armored Bulls that had just trampled the Toxic Lizard turned their mass aggressively.

However, these Armored Bulls didn’t run as fast as before, seeming more focused on intimidation.

The Sharp-toothed Tiger paid little attention to their threats, lazily turning and walking a few steps, continuing to survey the surroundings.

Until the dozen Armored Bulls got closer, the Sharp-toothed Tiger only jogged a few steps, still seemingly indifferent.

This is the confidence of a top predator; maintaining a safe distance is enough, there’s no need to panic.

The Armored Bulls continued to close in, the Sharp-toothed Tiger continued to move away, still unhurried...

"Shall we make a move?" Qu Jianlei was uninterested in the Sharp-toothed Tiger, "Deal with the Giant Crocodile or the Armored Bulls?"

"Let’s handle the Armored Bulls first," Mu Huahua decided, "the Giant Crocodile... not urgent."

Qu Jianlei quickly ford a hand seal and pointed forward, "Silver Snake Dance~"

The Electromagnetic Attribute also has Group Attack Techniques; he had slightly modified this technique.

Anyway, with his A-level cultivation and no other Electromagnetic Attribute Warriors nearby, no one could sense the anomaly.

Over a dozen Silver Snakes descended, hitting the Armored Bulls directly, causing the herd to burst into chaos.

Mu Huahua was well-prepared, forming a hand seal upon seeing this, "Rainstorm~"

As the Armored Bull herd ran chaotically, a drizzle began to fall.

Mu Huahua is just B-level, but this ti the rainstorm’s range didn’t need to be big, nor did the rainfall need to be heavy.

Just soaking the Armored Bulls would enhance the lightning effect.
