Chapter 629: Confusion about the hunting instinct

Views:

The sea water is naturally divided around, and everyone is standing in a strange oval-shaped vesicle supported by foam and water flow. This vesicle is moving forward at an incredible speed, while Shakira and Soma take turns Swimming around the outside of the vesicle keeps this magic stable. This kind of experience is different from Hao Ren's previous experience of being dragged by Nangong Wuyue to dive into the deep sea. The only thing in common is that it is equally novel and interesting.

"Roll" looked at this scene with wide eyes in amazement, and she couldn't find anything that could explain this phenomenon in her limited cognition. She ran around on the "ground" intertwined with foam and water, Occasionally, when she saw a shadow darting past outside—it was a fish swimming in shallow water or a large string of air bubbles—she would jump on it excitedly, but every time she would be bounced back by the water wall.

Vivian grabbed the cat girl and asked her to be quiet for a while, while Hasselblad looked at this strange "alien" curiously: "What is she?"

"A perfect cat," Hao Ren shrugged, "according to your classification standards, she is also a heterogeneous, but a month ago she was just an ordinary house cat—I'm curious, will such a harmless guy be so harmless just because he changed into a cat?" Adult form became your hunting target?"

Tutan pressed his eyebrows, and looked at Hasselblad: "The hunting instinct didn't respond?" "I didn't respond either."

Hao Ren didn't pay attention to what these two people were muttering. He just noticed that Tutan and Hasselblad kept a three-meter distance from here, and tried to turn their faces away when talking with his group. He felt that This kind of vigilance and exclusion is unnecessary under the current situation that a ceasefire agreement has been signed: "You two don't need to be so far away, and you still turn your head. You see that Baihuo is bolder than you."

Hasselblad threw a nonchalant sentence: "Because Baihuo is a younger generation, she can stand with you without fighting against the strong hunting instinct, and we have to keep a distance from the aliens to ensure that we will not lose control .”

Hao Ren's eyes suddenly became serious: "Wait a minute, what do you mean by hunting instinct...?"

"You don't even know this?" Hasselblad was a little surprised, "Have you never dealt with a witcher before?"

"I've fought a lot, but I haven't had much contact with them," Hao Ren shrugged. "What do you mean by hunting instinct?"

"The instinctive hostility of a demon hunter when he sees a different kind," Vivian explained on her behalf. "It will even be transformed into killing intent directly, so the demon hunter and the alien can fight with just one exchange of eyes. This process is the same as when different alien races meet, it is easy to fight, except that the demon hunter sees the alien. The hostility generated at this time is more intense, and it will be directly transformed into combat power, so it is called the hunting instinct."

Hao Ren's eyes narrowed all of a sudden: "It's this 'earth-unique phenomenon' again... the same issue we discussed before."

"Hasselblad, have you seen that I have hunting instincts?" Vivienne suddenly looked up at Hasselblad, "I vaguely remember that I have dealt with many demon hunters, and they felt strange when they saw me. His hunting instincts are weak."

Hasselblad glanced this way cautiously. The voice was also a little confused: "Although it's unbelievable... but my hunting instinct at the moment is indeed in an unbelievably calm state, and in my memory... the few contacts with you were relatively peaceful. If it wasn't like this, the ceasefire agreement between us is also It cannot be achieved so easily, it is the abnormal calm of the hunting instinct that keeps us from fighting."

Hao Ren breathed out softly. He finally fully understood why there had never been a ceasefire agreement between aliens and demon hunters on Earth, but he had stood calmly with demon hunters many times in a row, including this time— Although both sides are still full of vigilance, this vigilance is only caused by pure camp factors, from the results. Hasselblad still agreed to go with a group of aliens temporarily.

The main reason is not that Vivienne is eloquent or Hasselblad has general knowledge, this is just a trivial factor, and there is only one fundamental reason: some kind of "innate hostility" effective mechanism is controlling everything! And only in today's case. This validation mechanism creates fluctuations.

Hao Ren suddenly realized that if he wanted to decipher the law of heterogeneous opposition on the earth, now is his chance.

He carefully pushed the cat girl forward: "Hasu, do you feel hostility when you look at her?"

Hasselblad looked at Hao Ren inexplicably: "No, but does it make sense?"

"There's nothing to do on the long road, you just think I'm full and want to do some experiments," Hao Ren walked up to Hasselblad while talking, "Do you have the instinct to hunt and kill me?"

Hassu and Tutan shook their heads slightly at the same time, but they felt more and more bewildered by Hao Ren's strange behavior.

Y'zaks suddenly understood what Hao Ren wanted to do. He hugged his daughter and came to Hasu: "Look at us, are you hostile to us?"

Hasselblad immediately instinctively touched the weapon at his waist, but then relaxed: "There is no hostility in terms of hunting instinct. But..."

Yizaks could see it, and scratched his face indifferently: "It's okay. Normal people basically have to call the police when they see me."

"Landlord, what are you doing?" Lily came over curiously, so Hao Ren pushed Goumeizi forward, "What about this one?"

Hasselblad and Tutank immediately took half a step back. Hao Ren noticed that the muscles under their skin trembled as if they were uncontrollable. There was even a silver light floating in Hasselblad's eyes. Apparently that weird phenomenon called the hunting instinct kicked in.

Moreover, the hunting instinct of the more ancient Hasselblad is also more obvious.

The same is true for Lily: at the moment Hasselblad and Tuttan showed their murderous behavior, her golden eyes were filled with a layer of blood, and then she shook her head vigorously, and said to the two demon hunters very sincerely: " I just wanted to bite you."

Hao Ren pushed Lily back, and finally took out Doudou from his arms: "You don't have hunting instincts after seeing this, do you?"

Hasselblad's one eye couldn't help but widen, and his face was full of surprise: "Is this sea monster so hungry? Why is it only so long?"

Hao Ren: "..."

At this time, Tutan frowned suddenly: "Wait a minute, I feel that this little creature has..."

Hao Ren immediately put Doudou into his arms: "Oh, it's not important."

In any case, it turns out that the witcher has no hostility towards Doudou: although the little guy is by definition a standard "different".

Vivienne frowned and watched the whole process of the experiment, and the rules can be easily summed up: "Landlord, you are a human being, 'Go' is a cat demon who just transformed into a cat demon recently, the father and daughter of the old Wang and Dou Beans come from 'elsewhere', so none of this triggers the hunting instincts of a witcher. And Lily... although the blood is a bit weird, it is enough to trigger the hostility of Hasselblad, but the hostility is not strong enough, and both sides can easily Control it. So the activation conditions for the hunting instinct are obvious: 'local' native, and the 'standard bloodline' handed down from the Dream Plane crossing 10,000 years ago. Neither visitors nor new exotics will work."

"But you are the most inexplicable one." Hao Ren raised his eyes and looked at Vivienne. "In terms of blood, no blood race dares to be more orthodox than you, but the hunting instinct triggered by a demon hunter when facing you is even more powerful than that." Lily is still weak, you can still chat with them."

Vivienne spread her hands: "It's a bit strange who asked me to put it anywhere."

Hasu watched Hao Ren's discussion with a blank expression. He was also confused about his own hunting instinct, but the information he knew was not enough to analyze, so he couldn't help but finally said: "You guys What are you studying?"

Hao Ren looked into Hasu's eyes, and cautiously raised a topic: "What do you think the hunting instinct is?"

"It is the skill that demon hunters rely on for their livelihood, the key to identifying prey, and a strong enough hunting instinct can even replace the hunter's vision," Hasselblad said, and glanced at the silent white fire next to him, "There is Without the hunting instinct, no prey can escape the hunter's track."

Vivian suddenly asked with a half-smile: "If I'm not mistaken, the hunting instinct of the new generation of demon hunters is declining, right?"

Hasselblad snorted, noncommittal.

"You see this as a beneficial talent, but haven't you ever thought that it might be abnormal?" Hao Rente looked at Hasselblad sincerely, "You have never doubted... In fact, you are just being treated by something that you shouldn't be. Existential 'instincts' reined in?"

A sharp light flashed in Hasselblad's one eye: "What do you mean?" (To be continued~^~)
