The Na'vi knew the environment around the Home Tree very well. They knew which roads were free of thorns and where traps were set. However, it was very difficult for foreign invaders to enter the Home Tree on foot unless they flew in the sky.
The members of the North Sea team were wandering outside, and their purpose was obvious, which was to find out the surrounding situation. Only the reincarnations who had exchanged for powerful skills could come and go freely in the Pandora jungle, which was called the "Gate of Hell" by the earthlings.
The Na'vi led Meng Xiang and Jie Juan through the jungle, jumping and running on the tree trunks. Meng Xiang had undergone rigorous training, and Jie Juan had angel wings. They followed the Na'vi closely and would not fall behind at all. The Na'vi were originally 3 meters tall, with big steps, and they moved flexibly on the tree trunks. Their endurance was several times stronger than that of humans. It didn't take long for them to run 5 kilometers.
The Na'vi kept an eye on the tree trunks along the way, which were engraved with messages that only they could understand. They slowed down their pace, carefully interpreted the information given to them by their companions, and carefully led Meng Xiang and his companions to search for traces of the Earthlings among the branches and leaves.
It is not easy to find Earthlings in the vast forest, but the Na'vi's means of finding traces are unmatched. They can find the right direction by relying on clues such as footprints on the ground, branches and leaves, or trampled grass.
Meng Xiang has already unlocked his potential and is concentrating on feeling the movements around him. At this time, the time he can unlock his potential has been greatly extended, and the degree of unlocking is not high. He can even continue in this state without any harm to his body.
From time to time, the sound of footsteps could be heard from deep in the jungle, sometimes close and sometimes far away, as if they were scouting. Meng Xiang quickly whispered to the Na'vi, "You two should step back, and don't come out no matter what happens."
Meng Xiang's record of driving away the Thunder Beast had already shocked the hearts of the Na'vi people, and Etukon conveyed the order for his subordinates to obey the orders of the Reincarnationist, so the two Na'vi people immediately hid in the jungle.
Jie Juan leaned close to Meng Xiang's ear and whispered, "The other party is obviously here for reconnaissance, but they are too high-profile and have no scruples. Is the other party too strong, or is he just stupid?"
"I don't know. No matter what, I have to go meet him. You hide in the tree and don't show up. If he's too strong, I can let you take me to escape from the air." Meng Xiang turned back and smiled at Jie Juan slyly. Jie Juan nodded and said sarcastically, "You're thinking about escaping before the fight. You really haven't changed your nature."
Meng Xiang did not refute, but this was just a joke. When he knew that the members of the North Sea team had come to scout, he had already made up his mind to kill them. The reward was secondary. The main thing was that they could not be allowed to explore the environment around the home tree. In the war between the earthlings and the Na'vi, the individual strength of the reincarnations was still insufficient to reverse the situation. However, once the earthlings knew the truth about this area, which could not be scanned by the earthlings' high technology and could only be explored manually, and attacked from the ground, even if the Na'vi had the power to resist in the air, they would definitely be defeated in the ground battle.
Therefore, this time Meng Xiang must not let the other party leave safely.
Jie Juan hid in the tree and followed Meng Xiang from a distance. Meng Xiang continued to walk deeper into the jungle cautiously. After passing through a dense forest, he came to a clearing in front of him. On the ground was a notebook. Not far away, an Asian boy of 18 or 19 years old was fiddling with wires and collecting soil and other specimens. He acted as if no one was around, not only making a lot of noise, but also paying no attention to the movements around him.
Meng Xiang always felt that there was something strange about this boy, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. This boy was of medium build, wearing an orange sportswear, with a small bag wrapped around his feet. On his round face, six cat whisker-like marks could be seen faintly. He was concentrating on fiddling with the instrument, occasionally hitting the keyboard, making a "pa pa" sound. If he hadn't been wearing an air filter mask like Meng Xiang and other reincarnations, Meng Xiang would have thought that this boy was a scientist who loved research.
However, such a high-profile attitude and the way he focused on collecting information were a bit unusual. Meng Xiang was just wondering when the young man turned his head and laughed in his direction as if he had eyes behind him. He stopped what he was doing, put away his notes, and then stood up and waved in Meng Xiang's direction, as if to provoke him.
"Could it be that he has installed surveillance cameras nearby?" Meng Xiang was thinking when he suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis. He realized it and quickly jumped away while shouting to Jiejuan behind him: "There's an ambush, Jiejuan, run away."
"Bang bang!" Two gunshots were heard, and Meng Xiang flashed and jumped between the tree trunks and rushed to a hidden place. However, Jie Juan behind him cried out "Ah", and seemed to be injured.
Meng Xiang was very nervous, and then he heard a "crash" sound, and Jiejuan flapped her wings and flew into the sky.
Since he could still fly, at least his life was safe, Meng Xiang was relieved. He was very annoyed and blamed himself for being too careless. He jumped lightly and rushed to a place not far from the young man. He looked at the instrument on the ground, got ready, and said indifferently: "It's true. You deliberately fiddled here with the purpose of luring us out and then ambush us?"
"Intentionally? You're just too stupid." The young man looked at Meng Xiang with disdain, then looked at Jie Juan who was still circling in the sky and said, "I didn't expect your companions to have the ability to fly. I underestimated you."
Meng Xiang did not dare to underestimate the boy. He was alert to the movements around him to prevent another sneak attack. On the other hand, the spiritual energy contained in his body was ready to move. He must not let the boy in front of him go. He said calmly: "Where are your companions? Why don't you call them over?"
"Haha, comrade? You are so stupid. Haven't you realized it yet? But your strength is limited to this extent. Well, let me introduce myself. I am the captain of the North Sea Team. My name is Naruto. This is the name I changed after joining the Samsara Team."
"Naruto? Is that the name of the protagonist of a certain comic? You should be Japanese, right?"
"My country is Japan. Geographically speaking, the main team should be the Nakasu team. Unfortunately, I died in a plane crash when I was traveling in Russia, so I joined the Kitayama team, a subordinate team of the Kitasu team. This is also good. It's very interesting to lead the red-haired ghosts to sweep the monkeys of the Nakasu team. You are quite strong. You should be the strongest person in the Nameless Team, right? Tell me your name." Naruto spoke in a proud tone, and he was comparable to Ding Jie.
"Meng Xiang!" Meng Xiang's spiritual energy was already pent up to the point of being ready to explode. If he had not been concerned about the enemies lying in ambush all around, he would have taken action long ago.
"Okay, I'll remember you. The ambush just now couldn't kill you, so I'll spare your life this time. Run away." Naruto's contempt made Meng Xiang furious. He once again sensed the surroundings, but there was not even a trace of murderous intent. That at least proved that the ambushing enemy was far away from him.
"Spare my life? Then I really have to thank you." Meng Xiang was just about to use "Shave" to rush over and attack Naruto, but Naruto seemed to be prepared. He jumped up nimbly, stepped on the tree trunk that was perpendicular to the ground, and jumped onto the tree trunk as if he was walking on flat ground. With his right hand, he took out three shurikens used by Japanese ninjas from the small bag on his waist and threw them at Meng Xiang.
Meng Xiang could even dodge bullets, so why would he care about a mere shuriken? He slightly turned sideways, dodged the shuriken, and then climbed up the tree trunk at high speed.
Although Naruto is quite powerful and is the captain of the North Sea team, the aura he exudes is not enough to intimidate Meng Xiang. Meng Xiang must try his best to test Naruto's strength before the ambushed enemies arrive.
Naruto took out another shuriken from his bag. This time he didn't throw it, but rushed towards Meng Xiang with the sword, as if he was going to die together. Meng Xiang's right hand showed a spiritual sword, which was connected with Naruto's shuriken.
Naruto's strength was not that great, and he was blocked by Meng Xiang's spiritual sword, and his body flew away like a kite with a broken string. Meng Xiang was delighted, because although Naruto's strength was good, it was not enough to pose a threat to him. He was about to burst out with all his strength to give Naruto a fatal blow, but when he glanced at the ground, he saw two people who looked exactly like Naruto had rushed over unknowingly, picked up the notebook and the instruments, and went into the jungle.
"Shadow clone?" Meng Xiang has also read this manga about ninjas. The protagonist Naruto is best at shadow clones. The so-called shadow clone is to create a body that is exactly the same as the caster. The body created by this clone technique is not an illusion, but a real entity. The caster divides an energy called "chakra" equally between each clone, giving the clones independent attack and defense capabilities.
Naruto's goal was obviously to take away the instruments and reconnaissance data. Meng Xiang was confronting Naruto at this time and didn't care about so much. He swung the spirit sword and slashed at Naruto.
Naruto showed a proud and contemptuous smile on his face, snorted, clenched the shuriken in both hands, and rushed towards Meng Xiang desperately.
"Die." Meng Xiang used all his strength to chop Naruto's head with the spiritual sword in his hand. Naruto's body was immediately split into two, but what followed was not a scene of blood splattering, but a "pop" sound, and Naruto's body turned into a puff of smoke and dissipated.
"Another shadow clone?" Meng Xiang secretly cursed, because he had already caught a glimpse of the shuriken that Naruto was originally holding, which was rolled up with a layer of thin paper like a talisman.
Naruto is a shadow clone, but this shuriken and the talisman are real. A strong sense of crisis came over him, and the talisman was already emitting light smoke.
Explosive symbol.
