“Otherwise, sooner or later, I will see your name on the bounty hunter’s obituary list.”
…
Nan Guo’s death seemed unremarkable, and Luo Qi didn’t mention much. He remained silent after coming up. Jiang Kun and Ah Kang acquiesced that Nan Guo fell behind and was attacked by the giant snake below.
“It’s not your fault.” Ah Kang thought that Luo Qi’s silence was because he failed to save the person, and he moved to Luo Qi’s side to whisper comforting words.
Jiang Kun saw this and said: “Tsk, people like him are not innocent even if they die. Don’t put so much psychological pressure on yourself.”
“It’s you, why are you injured like this? Hey, can you still move your fingers?” His eyes fell on Luo Qi’s right hand. The knuckles of his dominant right hand were bruised and swollen, and it hurt just to look at it.
Jiang Kun’s entire facial features wrinkled up, and he took a breath of cold air as if in pain: “Did you hit that snake too? Did you get wrapped up in that snake? It seems that the snake is not big…”
“No.” Luo Qi interrupted Jiang Kun. He glanced at Lu Liran, but the other party didn’t look over. He was talking softly against Ke Ji’s head.
Luo Qi was a little stunned, and Lu Liran looked like he didn’t take what happened below at all seriously, making him a little distracted.
Those things just now…he would never forget the figure of Lu Liran standing in front of him holding a long sword, and the tip of the blade dripping with blood.
“No?” Jiang Kun didn’t react and subconsciously asked again, “Then how did you get this injury? Don’t tell me that you fell.”
Luo Qi smiled bitterly, he then lowered his voice, and recounted exactly what he had just encountered below.
With Jiang Kun and Ah Kang exclaiming, Luo Qi finally explained all the processes.
“Lu Liran is worthy of you!” Jiang Kun shouted happily, “You shouldn’t be soft-hearted towards that Nan Guo! Luo Qi, if you ask me, you shouldn’t have gone down, look at what you did to yourself…”
Luo Qi smiled bitterly, neither nodding nor shaking his head, but his eyes were a little confused. Did he do something wrong?
Seeing Luo Qi’s distracted look, Jiang Kun shook his head and said “tsk” several times: “I don’t know if you heard, luckily, Lu Liran and the others went down as soon as they heard about you. If they hesitated for even a minute, you would have been ruined by that Nan Guo!”
Luo Qi heard what Jiang Kun said and came to his senses. He quickly turned to Lu Liran and Ke Ji and said seriously: “Thank you, I owe you.”
Lu Liran met Luo Qi’s gaze, and he narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyes clear, as if he had seen through Luo Qi’s thoughts.
Luo Qi was about to look away in embarrassment when he heard Lu Liran say: “You made the right choice. Nan Guo was the one who made the mistake. There is no need to wonder if you did anything wrong.”

Luo Qi was startled and subconsciously raised his eyes to look at Lu Liran.

After hearing Lu Liran’s words, he reacted for a few seconds, and a bulging soreness surged in his chest. The sourness made him blink his eyes several times in a panic to suppress the tears that suddenly popped up in his eyes.
“Yes.” Luo Qi lowered his head and responded in a low voice. He said very little and just murmured again, “Thank you.”
Lu Liran patted his shoulder and said to Jiang Kun: “Rebandage his palm.”
“It’s been bandaged…hey, when did it bleed open again? Hey, I told you not to use force with this hand, so don’t be brave.” Jiang Kun lowered his head and saw that the snow-white gauze wrapped around Luo Qi’s right hand was showing a little blood again.
He desperately grabbed Luo Qi’s hand and bandaged it again patiently.
Ah Lang looked at Luo Qi and Jiang Kun, then at Lu Liran and Ke Ji. No one seemed to be paying attention to the cave under their feet anymore.
He pursed his lips, and after hesitating for a long time, he finally couldn’t help but ask: “The snake is down here, does it really matter if we leave like this?”
“And what do you mean by that?” Lu Liran asked Ah Kang.
Ah Kang clenched his fist and whispered: “Let’s block the hole or blow it up. The gravel will crush the giant snake underneath.”
Ke Ji frowned slightly, but he didn’t say anything. He just gave the right to speak to Lu Liran.
“First of all, this hole is not the only exit for underground cave creatures. Even if it collapses —— even if we are lucky enough not to be involved in the collapse——there is no guarantee that they will never get out again.” Lu Liran looked at Ah Kang and gave a slightly mocking smile.
Ah Kang’s face turned pale when he heard this.
“Secondly, we are the uninvited intruders. This is their home. They can be wherever they like. As long as I don’t endanger myself, I won’t disturb them, and I don’t want you to disturb them either.”
Lu Liran looked at Ah Kang and his voice became deeper, “Because usually those who try to control their life and death are trying to interfere with the rules of nature, and their end will generally not be pretty.”
Ah Kang gritted his teeth, he looked at Lu Liran and asked in a low voice: “What if they come to our world? What if they invade our world?”
Lu Liran dusted off the dust on his palms and body, he stood up and said: “They are not stupid. How long do you think they have been here? Did they just appear?”
He twitched the corner of his mouth: “Snakes can grow and shed indefinitely until the day of death. The size of the snake shedding we saw proves that the giant anaconda is no less than a hundred years old, and the giant spider, the things in the water, and the plants on both sides of the underground river…there are also the xenomorphic creatures we encountered in the heart of this swamp before. What do they have in common?”
Ah Kang subconsciously followed what Lu Liran said and thought about his memories. There was a rough map in his mind, but it was not so real.
Jiang Kun next to him said: “Their center points are all on these Luohan grass, and they radiate out from the Luohan grass as the center…”
He entered the Ghost Forest Swamp very early, and the map of the entire swamp was in his mind, and when Lu Liran一一when talking about this, all the abnormal points that have appeared in the past are listed one by one一一 a corresponding map appeared in his mind.
What’s very clear is that they are all gathered around these incredible giant luohan grass.
Lu Liran nodded: “Yes, so in other words, they have formed a symbiotic ecology here for more than a hundred years. They coexist harmoniously with the swamp. Since there has been no accident in communicating with the human world for a hundred years, it will never happen again. ”
After he finished speaking, he paused for two seconds and looked at the drone’s camera, as if looking directly into the depths of someone’s inner soul through the lens and screen——
“Unless,” Lu Liran changed the topic, “There is human intervention. And once humans intervene in the laws of nature, it is unknown what kind of accidents will occur.”
“So my suggestion is to maintain the status quo. Since Luohan grass blooms once every few decades, it is nature’s restraint on this ecosystem. They will not cross the boundary as long as humans do not disturb it.” Lu Liran said.
[I think Brother Lu seems to be giving a warning…so serious]
[Plus one, I feel Brother Lu’s fierceness qmq]
[Ferocious and handsome!! I can!! Brother Lu, please be cruel to me, my legs are weak]
[Here, @CertainResearchInstitute (dog head)]
[Hey, to be honest, the financial resources of our Mythical Beast Institute don’t have enough money to come to such a dangerous place QAQ]
[I think what Brother Lu warned was a certain military research institute that wanted to prostitute Brother Lu for free]
[+1, I feel like they can do anything, and they have military power to back them up, ugh]
[If Brother Lu is really right and everything goes wrong, we ordinary people will be the unlucky ones, ah]
Lu Liran knew very well that an unexpected discovery in a place like this would definitely attract the attention of many pairs of eyes. His warning is not to prevent humans from exploring and being curious about unknown creatures and environments, but to conduct explorations that allow for harmonious coexistence without destroying or disturbing the original biological ecosystem.
He didn’t know if this warning would have any effect, but it was the most heartfelt warning he could give. Whether it would be listened to or not was not up to them.
Lu Liran glanced at Luo Qi and Jiang Kun, who had re-bandaged their wounds, and changed the topic: “Now that you have come out of the underground cave, see if you can contact the rescue personnel.”
Jiang Kun nodded repeatedly when he heard this, and Luo Qi immediately tried to contact the headquarters.
After a while, Jiang Kun finally contacted the contact person of FangYe Group. He proudly threw the collected fruits and fresh flowers in front of the camera: “Open your eyes and recognize what this is.”
“These are my coordinates. Come and pick us up as soon as possible.” Jiang Kun raised his chin and saw that the attitude of the person opposite him instantly became respectful and honest, and he couldn’t help but become more arrogant.
He said to Luo Qi and Ah Kang: “You two, please don’t contact the headquarters. I will take you back together.”
Luo Qi and Ah Kang looked at each other, then nodded: “That’s it.”
Jiang Kun grinned and turned to Lu Liran: “What about you? Will you come with us?”
“No.” Lu Liran said, “My mission is to leave here on my own, so I will separate from you here.”
Luo Qi and Ah Kang were both stunned when they heard this. They clearly had the chance to wait for rescue, but they didn’t leave?
Jiang Kun was not very surprised by Lu Liran’s answer. He stepped forward, touched Lu Liran’s shoulder, and smiled at Lu Liran: “I knew you would give this answer. But I believe you can definitely come out on your own, so let’s part ways here.”
Lu Liran smiled slightly, bumped Jiang Kun gently, and said with a smile: “Well, goodbye, I wish you good luck.”
“How do you guys plan to go?” Luo Qi asked.
Jiang Kun interrupted and looked at Lu Liran: “I know this question. Is the Arlok Glacier over there? The snow-capped mountains are right in front of you. I remember that there are camps set up at the foot of the mountains on all sides of Arlok. If you go there, you can successfully call for help, right?”
“That’s Arlok. The camp information you mentioned is correct.” Lu Liran said, “But one thing is that the distance from here to Arlok is far beyond your visual perception.”
“It's just making the horse run to the far mountains to death, so I will take another way.” Lu Liran did not explain clearly how he would go, and there was no need to explain it so clearly.
He looked at Jiang Kun, with slightly twitching his lips. Seeing that the other party was quite honest and useful in this journey, he added one more sentence: “Your past experience in the field team has given you excellent physical fitness and fighting skills, but there’s obviously a lot more that you need to learn from experienced bounty hunters.”
Jiang Kun touched the tip of his nose and had an inexplicable illusion that he was in the army and was being reprimanded by his superiors.
He was cursing in his heart when he heard Lu Liran continue: “Otherwise, sooner or later, I will see your name on the bounty hunter’s obituary list.”
Jiang Kun: “……”
I was feeling a bit sad but his words ruined the mood :()
I feel like that’s a personal challenge 😂 watch as I become the mightiest bounty hunter!
Lol when Jiang Kun gets out and catches up with the current news, he’s gonna learn exactly how correct his feeling was as well as get started on digging his own grave for the way he flirted with our Commander Meiren~ 🤭😂
