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

The process of taming Chu Cige went smoothly. He didn't have the intention of finding the King of Heavy Armor Beasts. After all, it was just a temporary mount, and there was no need to get the best one, which would be a waste of time.

To be honest, experiencing this unique riding style for the first time felt incredibly novel to him. The feeling of being able to control his heavy horse simply by having a thought in his mind was just so cool.

Riding a heavy kayak across the plains, with the surrounding scenery constantly rushing past, feeling the wind brush against your fingertips, the lush greenery and those unique species that can never be seen on Earth, a feeling of freedom washes over you.

The Chu Ci song, now relaxed, gradually came to a stop as he gazed at the distant Stam beast herd.

He was wondering whether to hunt this creature, but after looking at it for a long time, he couldn't find anything special about it. It didn't have the beautiful crest of the Thunder Hammer Beast, nor was it as powerful as a predator.

Hunting these creatures is completely pointless; they are similar to bison herds on Earth, and as long as you don't provoke them, you won't be attacked.

If we were to say which two kinds of prey Chu Ci Ge most wanted to collect, one would be the Leon-type ray that the male protagonist tamed in the movie Avatar, and the other would be the lightning beast that the male protagonist encountered in the rainforest.

Leon-strikers are apex predators. They typically live in caves atop cliffs and mountains. Their bodies are bright red, as if stained with blood, and their size is outrageously large, with a wingspan of over thirty meters, making them practically small flying machines.

The Thunder Beast is similar to the Viper Wolf, but they are two completely different species with a huge difference in individual values.

The Thunder Beast is about five meters tall at the shoulder and more than eleven meters long including its tail. It also has a crest of feathers on the back of its head similar to that of the Thunder Hammer Beast, but it is not as big or bright.

This creature also has six legs, four in the front and two in the back, just like the Heavy Armored Beast, making it very suitable for running in Pandora's complex rainforest environment.

Unfortunately, Chu Cige hasn't encountered even one of these two creatures yet. He absolutely must collect the Leon-Styrax and the Lightning Beast; missing out on these top predators would be like never having been to Pandora at all.

Leaving aside Leon the Stingray, Chu Ci Ge couldn't find any trace of it. He only remembered that when the male protagonist subdued it in the movie, it was on a very high mountain peak.

But the time period he is in now is unknown, and it is unrealistic to rely on his memories to find it. Perhaps if he goes back, the parents of the Leon-the-Style in the movie have not yet been born, and there is only an empty cave.

He now has a clue about the Thunder Beast. He saw the Thunder Beast in Netini's memories. There is an adult Thunder Beast deep in the dense forest where he captured her.

However, because he needs to train Nettini, Chu Cige doesn't have time to go there right now, but he has already had "Alice" send drones to search for it. It shouldn't be long before they find traces of the Lightning Beast.

Just then, Reina's voice came through the communicator: "Chu! Come quick! I found a Slinger (Sling Beast). These guys are hard to come by and are very valuable for research."

"What... I'm coming right away."

Upon hearing this, Chu Cige had no time to care about the Lightning Beast and the Leon-Style, two creatures whose shadows he couldn't even see.

Unexpectedly, Reina was so lucky that she encountered a Slingshot Beast, a species that intrigued Chu Cige even more than the Lightning Beast, a species that defied common sense about biology.

Without hesitation, he urged his heavy armored beast to hurry along, following the coordinates sent by Reina. He didn't know how much he would regret missing this slingshot beast...

A moment later!

We walked through a dense rainforest.

As he approached Reina's coordinates, he gradually slowed down. Only after passing through a thicket of bushes and reducing the obstructions in his view did he finally see Reina's figure.

She was hiding behind a fallen giant tree, her eyes fixed on the distant woods.

Hearing the noise behind her, Reina knew it was Chu Cige coming. Without turning her head, she said, "Come over quickly, it's still there."

Chu Cige slowly approached and looked in the direction she pointed.

Through the gaps between the trees, a reddish-brown figure stood out in the lush rainforest. Although the forests of Pandora are not all green, but often dotted with other colors, making them particularly beautiful, Chu Cige, as a hunter of the Ironblood Clan, still spotted his prey at a glance.

It is not large, not comparable to the enormous size of other creatures on Pandora, but it is still close to three meters tall.

It resembles a flightless pelican, but it is featherless, has six legs, a head shaped like a dart, and two legs on its chest that are curled up, like a spear ready to be fired at any moment.

In Chu Cige's view, the hunting methods of the slingshot beasts were simply child's play. They could shoot their heads out like darts, and their sharp beaks were also poisonous, which could further accelerate the death of their prey.

He found this hunting method of completely detaching the head from the body abnormal. How could anyone shoot their own head off? Wasn't that just courting death?

After the head is launched, how is it retrieved? What happens to the neural connections between the head and body? Is it left exposed? If so, won't it pick up bacteria and other contaminants?

Wouldn't we be doomed then? He thought it was absurd and couldn't understand how such a creature could have evolved.

"Is it hunting?" Chu Cige asked softly, looking at the slingshot beast that was hiding behind the tree just like them, completely focused.

"Hmm! Look over there, there's a herd of peacock deer foraging." Reina pointed to the orchid bushes not far from the slingshot beast, where something seemed out of place.

He then noticed that the patch of blue grass and flowers, radiating a faint blue glow, was moving slowly. Without careful observation, it would be easy to miss the anomaly. If Reina hadn't pointed it out, he might not have noticed it at all in such a short time.

As he locked onto his target, "Alice" automatically displayed information about peacock deer. This is a creature similar to the sika deer on Earth, a small herbivore that is over two meters tall and one and a half meters long.

It has a long snout and a fan-shaped membrane on its head with two dark-colored false eyes. Like the crest of the Thunder Hammer Beast, these are products used to attract mates and serve a deterrent purpose.

Like the Na'vi, their skin is blue with white stripes. This creature has a very graceful figure and is considered the most beautiful species on Pandora that Chu Cige has ever seen besides the Na'vi.

Like deer on Earth, they are extremely vigilant and will flee at the slightest disturbance.

However, they lack any means of defending themselves against predators, and almost always lose their chance to escape if they encounter other predators. It is only through their vigilance, strong survival skills, and powerful reproductive capabilities that they have been able to survive on Pandora.

Chu Cige asked "Alice" to record the slingshot beast hunting scene, and then waited with Reina.

Observing the slingshot beast hunting with its own eyes, seeing how it shoots its head out and how it brings it back, is a rare opportunity that Chu Cige would naturally not miss.

He wanted to see how this strange creature would retract its head.

If given the chance, he would also like to observe how the Slingshot Beasts reproduce. According to the information provided by "Alice," the reproduction of the Slingshot Beasts is completely different from that of other species; it is a strange phenomenon that Chu Cige doesn't know how to describe...
