Its name is "Elpis", and once it grows, it is an A-class creature.
The name "Elpis" is taken from the goddess of hope in Greek mythology. She was once locked in Pandora's treasure box. When the box was opened, all kinds of disasters flew out of it. Only Elpis remained in the box. inside.
As a Nibelungen A-level creature, it has extremely rich nerves. Although it does not have the so-called "brain" of humans, it has the ability to think and perceive complexly. When Zhou Qing saw the information about this creature, he had a feeling that it would become a breakthrough for curing his brain tumor.
Juli Group has been working in Nibelungen for many years. This particular plant, Elpis, has always been one of the focuses of their research, but not only have they never had the chance to get its fruit and seeds, let alone sample it.
And at this moment, Zhou Qing actually held its fruit in his hand
It wasn't an illusion just now.
That S-class creature really came!
But why is he helping himself in this way
Well, no matter what his purpose is, he has nothing to be taken away by the other party.
If it was for his life, he could give it to him... no injustice and no pity.
Instead, he appreciates him.
The fragrance emanating from Elpis seems to have a soothing effect. Zhou Qing felt that his mind was galloping on a field, galloping with the wind, boundless freedom.
He fell asleep.
"Zhou Yu! Zhou Yu! Wake up!"
Someone was slapping Zhou Yu's face, and Zhou Yu sat up abruptly, almost knocking Wu Yun's nose off.
"My God, you slept really hard. Even Dr. Daniel woke up earlier than you." Wu Yun looked at Zhou Yu and put his hand on his forehead.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Yu asked.
"It's nothing, I thought you had a fever. But your temperature is very normal."
Wu Yun got up and woke up Han Li and Li Qian.
Zhou Yu pressed his face, he felt incredible.
How is this going? Did you sleep so deeply
He's obviously a very alert person, but after closing his eyes last night, he wasn't even a bit wary.
Looking down at the little thing again, it was sleeping soundly and didn't respond at all.
"Hey, if you think there's something wrong with it..." Wu used his gaze to hint at Zhou Yu's gun.
"I thought you'd say you have to take it back to base for research."
"I mean this. Even if you think there is something wrong with it, we have to bring it back to the base. It has high research value." Wu Yun nodded.
Zhou Yu didn't want to pay attention to him, and put the little thing directly into the silk scarf, tied it to his waist, and continued to walk forward. He looked at Zhou Qing.
I don't know if it was because of a night's sleep, Zhou Qing's spirit seemed much better than yesterday. Not only the spirit, but also the complexion is no longer so pale.
"Professor Zhou, you can give me something. I'll help you carry it." Dr. Daniel suggested.
"No, thank you. I think it's fine today." Zhou Qing not only respected Dr. Daniel, but was even more grateful.
Li Qian and Han Li's spirits were obviously not as good as Zhou Qing's. Both of them lowered their heads and rubbed their eyes.
Wu Yun came to them, clapped his hands and said, "Hey! Cheer up! Try to get out of here today!"
"Actually we were really lucky. We didn't get attacked by dangerous creatures all night," Dr Daniel said.
Li Qian and Han Li nodded and felt that their luck was very good, but Wu Yun and Zhou Yu looked at Zhou Qing.
Zhou Qing knew very well in his heart that most of the safety that night was because the S-class creature was protecting them, but he couldn't tell everyone.
First, it will cause panic, and second, with Zhou Yu's character, he will definitely want to protect him and interrupt his communication with that S-class creature.
But Zhou Qing didn't want such a thing to happen. He wanted to know more about that S-class creature.
Not only because of the scholar's thirst for knowledge, but more because he longed for each other in the depths of his mind.
There seemed to be some kind of resonance between him and that S-class creature.
He wants to keep this unique tacit understanding all the time. Even if the ending is that he becomes the opponent's prey.
"Probably because we were all injected with inhibitors and did not emit any hormones marked as prey." Zhou Qing replied.
"Maybe." Zhou Yu retracted his gaze.
"Okay, don't waste time, keep going." Seeing that Zhou Yu didn't seem to plan to pursue the answer, Wu Yun didn't want to pursue the answer, so it would be pointless to persist.
"Are you sure we're heading in the right direction?" Li Qian asked Wu Yun unsurely while walking.
Wu Yun raised his hand and glanced at his watch. A special compass was installed on his watch, which, in conjunction with Nibelung's magnetic field, could tell the direction.
"Our direction is right, but in order to avoid the two-headed tarantula, we took a detour." Wu Yun replied.
"You won't be able to go out before tonight, right?" Han Li asked worriedly.
"Probably."
Wu Yun thought that his answer would make everyone nervous, but he didn't expect Li Qian and Han Li, the two people with the most emotional ups and downs, to be calm.
They walked for a while, and the little guy on Zhou Yu's waist arched and seemed to wake up. It stuck its head out of the silk scarf, opened its wide eyes, and looked up at Zhou Yu.
"Hey, it's awake!" Han Li walked over to Zhou Yu and touched the top of its head with his fingers.
It turned its head to look at Han Li, and the expression was like a smile. The tip of its tongue licked the back of Han Li's hand, and then rubbed its head on it, like a lazy cat.
Han Li was also amused by it: "Do you think we should name it?"
"Look at it's black body, why don't you call it black briquettes!" Wu Yun solemnly suggested.
Han Li rolled his eyes at him directly: "What kind of name is this."
"Just call Xiao Hei." Li Qian also came over to join in the fun, "Xiao Hei, are you hungry?"
After finishing speaking, Li Qian also stretched out the half of the compressed biscuit that he had not finished eating in front of it and shook it.
The little guy's head moved to the left and right along with Li Qian's hand for a while. Every time Li Qian put the biscuit to his mouth, he opened his mouth and closed his eyes, but Li Qian would move his hand away again, repeating several times. After that, it simply turned its head away, with its small head against Zhou Yu's waist, ignoring Li Qian to show its dissatisfaction.
Zhou Yu's palm rested on its small head: "It's better not to give it a name. If you give it a name, you will have feelings. If you have feelings, you will no longer have the heart to hand it over to those researchers for research."
Zhou Yu's words made everyone suddenly silent.
The little thing seemed to understand what Zhou Yu said, and showed him a completely different expression from pity, dissatisfaction and grievance.
That is disappointment.
At that moment, Zhou Yu wondered if it could understand human language
Before he came, he had heard that many creatures in the Nibelung had intelligence, and a few of them...even surpassed humans.
Zhou Yu teased it with his fingers, but it didn't react at all. Zhou Yu slid his index finger along the soft fur on the top of its head, but it stretched out its wings and wrapped its head, preventing Zhou Yu from touching it. In this regard, Zhou Yu was inexplicably amused.
"Do you want a name that much?"
The little guy exposed his head from under the wings, glanced at Zhou Yu, then shrank back and continued to be angry.
After walking for more than an hour, the humidity in the air was significantly higher than before.
"I seem to hear something..." Wu Yun turned his head.
"It's the sound of water." Zhou Yu replied.
Everyone turned their ears and listened carefully, the sound of the water became more and more obvious.
"Is it a waterfall?" Dr. Daniel asked.
"Seems to be… "
"Suddenly a little curious, what is the difference between the waterfalls in Nibelungen and our world..."
As Li Qian said that, he noticed that Wu Yun's face seemed to darken a lot.
When they saw a huge stream of water from the gaps between the branches and leaves, as if falling from the ceiling, they all raised their heads, and invariably let out a "Oh..."
The water flow of this waterfall is huge and deafening.
"If I guess correctly, this should be the largest waterfall in this virgin forest, and it is also the source of the river in this forest, Angel's Corner." Wu Yun said.
"This is Angel Corner? It's so spectacular..." Zhou Qing sighed, "According to the research data of Juli Group, the ecological diversity of Angel Corner is not inferior to our Amazon!"
"So... there are piranhas in there?" Li Qian swallowed and asked.
"Piranhas are already very gentle." Zhou Qing replied.
In the Amazon ecosystem, there are many more ferocious creatures than piranhas, not to mention Nibelungs.
Li Qian's face suddenly turned pale.
"Then let's not approach this waterfall!"
Wu Yun didn't say anything, just kept walking forward. Everyone followed him in silence. Li Qian didn't know what to do, so he tugged at Han Li: "Aren't you afraid?"
Han Li said with a wry smile: "Are you afraid of being useful? Wu Yun knows a lot about this place. If we can go around, how could he not take us around. It must take more time to go around. And the inhibitor in our body I can't support that time."
Hearing what Han Li said, Li Qian lowered his head and remained silent.
The closer you get, the more you can feel the mist from the waterfall coming towards you. With that kind of impact, Li Qian has no doubt that if he is hit by the water flow of the waterfall, he will definitely be shattered.
Under the waterfall, is the longest river in the forest here - Angel Tears.
