Subduing the Detel Tribe and Forest Anomaly

A week later.

Suddenly, there was a group of Detel 'guards' for no reason. Luo Yun didn't know what he was thinking at the time to have agreed to it.

Watching dozens of Detel moving in and out of his nest, carrying branches in pairs with grunts, and a mature-looking Detel on a high perch constantly directing the Detel below to adjust the placement of the branches, Luo Yun felt that agreeing wasn't so bad after all.

As it turned out, upon learning that Luo Yun and Ya Ji were outsiders who had obtained the right to nest by defeating the Fire Dragon couple on the same level, the Detel leader immediately declared that Luo Yun and Ya Ji's nest would be built by their tribe!

Thus, under the call of the Detel leader, over ten Detel began to go out to collect branches and started building after choosing a location.

Although only the rudimentary form of the nest had appeared so far, judging by the crisscrossing of these branches and the flat vine mat at the bottom, the completed nest would definitely be much more comfortable than the other Fire Dragons' nests, which could be described as shoddy.

And as the 'protectors' who had received the allegiance of the Detel tribe, Luo Yun and Ya Ji now only needed to provide some insignificant food.

A gust of wind pressure struck, and the Detel skillfully extended their claws to grip the ground, preventing them from being blown away by Ya Ji's unconscious wind pressure.

Thump~

The corpse of a Herbivore Dragon was thrown beside the nest. Having just arrived, Ya Ji and Luo Yun had taken turns hunting for the past two days, familiarizing themselves with the surrounding hunting grounds.

The other one who stayed at home was marking its territory near the nest, which involved casually scratching the ground with its claws or scattering some of its shedding scales around.

The Detel looked at the enormous Herbivore Dragon and swallowed their saliva. However, under the horn call of the 'supervisor' Detel from above, they could only bury their heads and continue working diligently.

Ya Ji habitually rested to the side after finishing her hunt, while Luo Yun ate clean the belly and a portion of the back of the Herbivore Dragon. After a satisfied burp, he went out for his usual patrol of the territory, and also to build a good relationship with the Fire Dragon couple on the slope.

Seeing Luo Yun leave, the supervising Detel looked at the remaining half of the Herbivore Dragon carcass, swallowed its saliva, and then looked at Ya Ji. Finding that she was indifferent and still resting with her eyes closed, it quickly jumped down. It called out to a few other Detel, found bone knives, and began to dissect the Herbivore Dragon carcass. Before long, thick, fresh pieces of meat were neatly piled up on the open ground beside them.

Two strong Detel used ropes woven from vines to divide and package the Herbivore Dragon's skeleton into several small portions. Then, they pulled them to the gap in the platform and threw them down.

There was still some meat scraps on these bones. Attracted by the scent of blood, the creatures in the lower layers of the Ancient Forest would eliminate them completely, ensuring not even a trace was left.

After finishing everything, the Detel carefully took two pieces from the pile of cut meat, dragged them back to their living area, and left the rest as reserve food for Luo Yun and Ya Ji.

Don't think the Detel took too little. For their size, even with the Detel's not-small appetite, those two large portions, if saved, would be enough for their tribe to eat for two days.

Moreover, Luo Yun and Ya Ji went out hunting every day, and there would be leftovers every day. Therefore, those two pieces of meat, along with mushrooms and wild vegetables, were enough for their tribe to eat their fill all day long.

This kind of peaceful life, which didn't require risking their lives and had extremely low danger, made them exceptionally diligent in building Luo Yun's nest, wishing they could work hard all day to finish it sooner so that Luo Yun and Ya Ji could settle down here permanently!

That's right, the situation now was that this group of simple-minded Detel had gone from desperately wanting Luo Yun and Ya Ji to leave to worrying about them leaving.

For creatures surviving in the New World, nothing was more important than stable survival.

Emmm, not entirely accurate.

Certain creatures, such as the Golden Lion, Brachydios, and Fulgur Anjanath, were exceptions.

When Luo Yun returned from his outing, he saw such a bustling scene. He also got along very well with the Fire Dragon couple. After symbolically adding some branches to the dam, they agreed to share a reservoir with Luo Yun's family.

It was absolutely not because Luo Yun's stance of "If you don't agree, I'll fight in your home, and by accident, I might damage the dam" had forced them.

In short, Luo Yun and Ya Ji began their orderly life on the Ancient Tree.

Outside the Ancient Forest, at the Star Base, the Starship Gathering Point.

The Great Leader, who resembled a Golden Lion, was passionately rallying people to go to the Great Antlion Desert.

To say passionately, it was just normal morale boosting, but under the Great Leader's heroic charisma, everyone cheered in unison.

After the meeting, the Felynes packed their supplies and set off first with their carts.

The Hunters and Editors followed closely. Only a few scholars and logistics personnel remained at the Star Base, while the rest were dispatched, determined to uncover the mystery of the unknown creatures!

Meanwhile, deep within the Ancient Forest, Rathians that were expanding their territory stood up. Their eyes, as if smeared with eye shadow and looking rather roguish, searched around. For some reason, this area was unusually quiet today.

Gradually, as time passed, the forest was unknowingly covered by a dense fog.

The Rathians caught within it gradually felt their bodies becoming heavy, their pupils turning grayish-white, and the sounds around them began to diminish. They opened their mouths but couldn't make a sound.

Soon, the Rathians in the dense fog fell one after another. By the time death arrived, they didn't even know what had happened.

In the dense fog, a Heartbeat Accelerating Mushroom was lifted into the air by something, and the next second it disappeared for no reason.

Amidst the crunching of leaves, four-toed footprints stopped beside a dead Rathian. Gradually, the Rathian's corpse seemed to be gnawed by something, and blood splattered in the air, dripping slowly.

Soon, the soft parts of the Rathian were completely eaten, and the footprints slowly moved away from the area.

On the outskirts of the dense fog, a Veteran Great Rathian (Veteran King with Middle Parting), whose massive size far surpassed that of a normal Great Rathian, looked warily at the gradually spreading dense fog with its vertical pupils adorned with black eye shadow.

With a reluctant low growl, it led its tribe to retreat.

Not only the Rathian tribe, but various creatures that once inhabited the foggy areas were also fleeing. Even the Black Wolf Bird, known for its belligerence, was among the fleeing groups.
