All Heavens: Starting with the Predator, I'm No Longer Human

The trees are so tall that they almost block out the sunlight. The plants and animals, which are completely different from those on the Ironblood Mother Planet and Earth, compete for beauty on this planet.

Purple, unidentified tree fruits, orange, umbrella-shaped plants spiraling upwards, will instantly shrink into the soil with just a gentle touch, like the mimosa on Earth.

Unlike Reina, Chu Cige didn't immediately try to capture a mount. He was filled with curiosity about everything around him and wanted to observe the strange plants and animals around him more closely.

In the distance, a creature with blue-gray skin, a huge head resembling a horizontal hammer, and colorful, feather-like decorations on the back of its head caught his attention.

This creature looks similar to rhinoceroses and triceratops on Earth, with thick armor on its back and six legs.

This creature is known in the data as the "Thunder Hammer Beast". It has a violent and irritable temperament, especially during its mating season, and it does not like other creatures to approach its territory.

However, Chu Cige was in stealth mode, so it didn't notice him and was still leisurely eating grass, completely unaware of his approach.

When they got closer, Chu Cige realized that the Thunder Hammer Beast was really big. Standing in front of it, he was just a tiny little thing, only as tall as its legs.

As he marveled at the creature's magnificence, he pondered how to kill it with minimal cost and keep it as a collectible: "What am I going to do, the more I look at your big head?"

He didn't act immediately, but the desire in his eyes grew stronger, especially as he examined the fan-shaped multicolored crown on the Thunder Hammer Beast's head up close.

This organ, used by the Thunderhead Hammer Beast for intimidation, defense, interbreeding, and attracting mates, can change according to its emotions—during mating season, the crown will be multicolored and emit a faint glow to capture the gaze of female Thunderhead Hammer Beasts; when angry, it will turn red to intimidate enemies.

At first glance, Chu Cige thought it was muscle or soft tissue or a unique kind of feather, but upon closer inspection, he discovered that it was a hard keratin and bone.

I wonder if it will still have such vibrant colors after being made into a specimen.

"Sigh! I really want to raise one," Chu Cige sighed.

This Thunder Hammer Beast was simply too big; his spaceship couldn't hold it. Besides, it was already an adult and not worth taming. If he had a juvenile one, he wouldn't mind taming it as a pet.

"Never mind, business comes first."

The plasma railgun on its shoulder had already been quietly aimed at the Thunder Hammer Beast. According to Alice's analysis, the power would be precisely controlled to ensure that the beast's body would not be damaged, but to achieve a fatal blow.

"Biu—!"

A beam of eerie blue light appeared out of thin air and shot into the Thunder Hammer Beast's ribs. It only had time to let out a painful screech before crashing heavily to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

The sudden loud noise startled the birds and beasts in the forest, causing them to flee in panic. It also disrupted Reina's ongoing capture and subjugation efforts in the distance, making her stomp her feet in anger.

However, she was now some distance away from Chu Cige. Although she resented him for causing such a commotion, she didn't immediately rush over to cause him trouble. Instead, she began to look for her own target again...

Meanwhile, in the dense forest not far from here, a group of Na'vi, about three meters tall, with blue skin, pointed ears, and white markings on their bodies, were crouching on tree trunks, watching the wolf pack below.

This is a group of viper wolves, similar to Earth wolves, but with incredibly smooth skin. Like Earth wolves, they cooperate as a team and are fierce and cunning.

Some time ago, this pack of viper wolves angered the wrong people. They actually dared to trespass into the Na'vi territory to steal food, almost causing the tragic death of a newborn in the tribe. So today, the Na'vi found an opportunity to give them a ruthless attack—luring the wolf pack to a trap they had set in advance, preparing to wipe them out in one fell swoop…

This Na'vi hunting party consisted of eight people, and they were wearing very little clothing, barely enough to cover their vital parts, leaving the rest of their bodies exposed.

Their hunting equipment was also quite primitive. Wooden spears, bows and arrows, and throwing stones were fine for dealing with small prey, but they were not strong enough for prey like the Thunder Hammer Beast.

Fortunately, although these wolves were clever and cunning, they were no match for the Na'vi who had made preparations in advance, and could only walk step by step toward their predetermined death.

Everything was going smoothly, and the wolves were heading towards the trap as planned. But just as they were about to make their move, a sudden noise disrupted their plans, causing the trapped wolves to panic and scatter in all directions.

The missed opportunity for hunting naturally resulted in a significantly reduced harvest, leaving the Na'vi with mixed feelings.

The leader of the Na'vi looked in the direction from which the noise came, a vague unease creeping into his heart. He had heard the dying howl of his prey in the noise; he recognized the sound—it belonged to the Thunderhammer Beast, a large animal in the area.

They generally don't hunt such enormous creatures. Only viper wolves in this forest can hunt such large animals, but there was still a fight going on until the very last moment when a desperate howl was heard.

"Nek, if we don't deal with these beasts this time, they'll definitely come back again, and then we'll be in trouble," a Na'vi reminded his leader when he saw him staring blankly at the woods in the distance.

"Um……"

As the tribe's best hunter, he naturally knew this: "There's no better way right now than to keep the tribesmen on their guard."

Nek had no time to worry about the wolf pack that might retaliate; what he was thinking about was what kind of creature could kill the Thunder Hammer Beast in one blow.

Leon - Stingray?

Impossible. That creature can't even land in the dense forest, how could it possibly hunt a Thunderhammer Beast? Then what other creature could hunt a Thunderhammer Beast?

Seeing his expression, the Na'vi beside Nek asked, "Nek, what are you worried about?"

He naturally noticed the noise that had disrupted the hunt, but it wasn't strange to him—hunting happened all the time in the forest, a perfect demonstration of the law of the jungle. It was just that the creature hunted this time was a Thunder Hammer Beast, so what was so strange about it?

Nek voiced his doubts: "Don't you think it died too quickly? It couldn't even put up a fight..."

The Na'vi beside him suddenly realized what had happened, wondering what had made their tribe's best hunter look like this.

He said matter-of-factly, "What's so strange about that? Could it be that the Thunder Hammer Beast was old and frail, and didn't have much time left to live? That's why it was easily killed by the Viper Wolf without any resistance. This kind of thing has happened before, so what are you worried about?"

He patted Nike on the shoulder: "Let's focus on the present!"

"That's true!" Nek thought to himself, "He's right." All sorts of strange things have happened in the jungle; one shouldn't let a little unease in one's heart cause one to become anxious and fearful.

The clansmen still need me; I can't dwell on this matter too much.

With that thought in mind, he stopped worrying about it and began to work with the other Na'vi to deal with the wolf carcasses on the ground...
