Chapter 312 Potential Crisis
Although Mo Laowu's abilities are diverse, they must rely on a pipe to activate them.
This restriction can be regarded as a manifestation of restrictions and oaths. Moro just took away the pipe, and his method was gentle.
Then he showed his hunter's license, clearly stating his attitude and position.
Even so, Mo Laowu's tense nerves did not relax, and his attention returned to Chimera.
The existence of phantom beasts has always been hostile to humans.
In the long history, although there have been rare cases where phantom beasts have reached communication and even established trust with humans, this is the only case in thousands of years.
The pioneering legendary phantom beast hunter has long since turned into the dust of history, but she once left a sentence in the document: "The origin of the phantom beasts is still a mystery, but one thing is certain, humans can never truly tame the phantom beasts."
So he knew very well that phantom beasts themselves are extremely unstable and dangerous existences.
They are not like Warcraft, which will accept human jurisdiction and are willing to stay in the designated territory.
Even if the phantom beast can establish some kind of connection with humans, without ensuring true taming, no one can guarantee that it will suddenly attack humans based on instinct, or even lose control.
The fishing boat sunk by the Chimera is the most vivid proof.
This time.
Chimera was consciously avoiding the remaining purple smoke soldiers in the air. After discovering that Moreau teleported to the sea ship, it immediately changed its direction and flew towards the sea ship.
Under Mo Laowu's surprised gaze, the Chimera came to the side of the ship and deliberately controlled the strength and frequency of its fleshy wings so that its huge body, far larger than a blue whale, could slowly land on the sea without causing huge waves.
This kind of humane move is undoubtedly to avoid affecting the ship they are on.
Mo Laowu felt that the scene in front of him had subverted his basic understanding and even cognition of fantasy beasts.
His incomprehensible reactions on the surface were all seen by Moreau, and he couldn't help but feel doubtful in his heart.
Based on Mo Laowu's knowledge and ability, it should be possible to judge that Chimera has never shown a hunter attitude from the beginning, at least in terms of aggression and threat, it is far inferior to its appearance.
But even so, Mo Laowu's reaction to Chimera was like looking at a bomb that might explode at any time.
So much so that the Chimera would show an incredible reaction after making a meek move.
There seems to be a cognitive difference that Moreau does not understand.
"My name is Moro, and I am a professional phantom beast hunter."
Moro put away his hunter's license, stretched out his right hand towards the side of the boat, and while watching Mo Laowu's reaction, said calmly: "Can you tell me the reason why you are chasing the Chimera?"
He asked Mo Laowu why. The right hand stretched out toward the sea was like a magnet, attracting the Chimera's head.
Chimera twisted its long neck, stretched out the huge bird head to the deck, narrowed its eyes slightly, and gently rubbed Morrow's palm.
When Mo Laowu saw this, even if he thought it was impossible, he had to believe that the young man in front of him had indeed tamed a fantasy beast.
How did you do that.
He refrained from asking this question. Mo Laowu glanced at the docile Chimera and told the truth: "It attacked a fishing boat, but we did not want to kill it. We just wanted to control it first for safety reasons."
In the current international biological database, only two phantom beasts have been completely recorded.
As for the aquatic phantom beast he had encountered before, there was no possibility of close contact with them, let alone understanding and investigation.
In fact, some of the phantom beasts that have appeared in front of humans are basically like this and will not give humans the chance to approach easily.
Based on the rarity of the phantom beasts, although Mo Laowu is not a phantom beast hunter or a biological hunter, he will not harm the lives of the phantom beasts easily. The purpose of "control" is from the beginning to the end.
After hearing Mo Laowu say that the Chimera had attacked a fishing boat, Moro's first reaction was that there might be a misunderstanding.
"With my order, the Chimera will not attack or contact humans on its own initiative. I mean, is there any misunderstanding?"
...
Mo Laowu was silent for a moment after hearing this.
If he hadn't seen the Chimera's docile appearance and obedient response to Moreau with his own eyes, he would never have believed that there was any misunderstanding about the phantom beast.
In the historical records, it is the most normal situation for phantom beasts to actively attack humans and even devour humans.
In other words, the phantom beast reigns at the top of the ecological chain and will regard any living thing except itself as food.
As for why the phantom beast shows stronger hostility to humans, just like its origin, it is still an unsolved mystery.
After the silence, Mo Lao said with an eyebrow: "But it sank a fishing boat. This is an irrefutable fact."
"Can you tell me specifically what happened?
1
Morro still does not believe that Chimera will take the initiative to attack humans,
Because the order he gave can be said to go straight to the soul level, and can even completely suppress the Chimera's primitive biological instincts.
This kind of obedience may be the result of the energy of the annual rings.
Mo Laowu then told Moreau what he learned.
Morrow was slightly relieved after hearing that there were no casualties. At the same time, he also understood why the Chimera sank the fishing boat.
"That's it, if I'm not wrong——.""
Morrow raised his hand, patted the Chimera's head hard, and sighed:
"This guy's original intention It was not an attack on the fishing boat, but it happened to be eyeing the catch in the fishing net when it was preying on the bottom of the sea. But no matter what, letting it hunt on its own was the root cause of the sinking of the fishing boat. I am willing to fully compensate the loss of that group of fishermen. "
At this point, Moreau retracted his hand, looked at Mo Laowu, and said seriously: "Can you accept my explanation?"
"Of course."
Mo Luo noticed Moreau's reaction when he heard about the casualties, and Morrow was able to exercise great restraint in the situation just now. Based on these two points alone, he was willing to trust Moreau's judgment.
Most importantly, he adheres to the principle of seeing is believing.
Moroting was surprised by Mo Laowu's straightforwardness, and thought that he might have to waste some time.
But on second thought, this is exactly the bold character of the ocean hunter in front of me.
"If you'd like, you're responsible for contacting that group of fishermen."
Morrow nodded towards Mo Laowu and said: "Once the specific loss is determined, I can transfer the money immediately."
At this moment, Geraqiang jumped on the Shenban.
It's just that it has put away its "hard" state and returned to its usual "tangle" state.
Hence just now, when Moreau teleported to the deck, Glaqiang was indeed startled, and his whole heart was lifted.
But what happened next made him even more unexpected.
So that after he got on the deck now, he did not ask out loud, but looked back and forth at Moreau and Chimera with strange eyes.
Mo Laowu looked at him, took out his mobile phone and dialed the fisherman's number, while briefly explaining the situation.
Hearing this, Geraqiang's expression became even weirder.
Like Mo Laowu, it would be hard for him to believe that a fantasy beast would be so obedient unless he saw it with his own eyes.
Is it really some kind of operating system ability?
Although this young man has a strong release system ability, he does not rule out the possibility of multiple abilities. Furthermore, the operation system is originally adjacent to the release system.
It's just that judging from Chimera's reaction, it doesn't seem to be under the control of abilities.
As for the suggestive operation system ability, which is the least obvious, it is basically impossible to take effect due to the strong hostility of the phantom beasts towards humans.
While Geraqiang was thinking to himself, Mo Laowu had quickly contacted the victimized fishermen.
Under his coordination, the compensation matter was quickly resolved.
At this moment, Moreau remembered that he still held the pipe in his hand. After winking at Mo Laowu, he threw the pipe away.
Mo Laowu raised his hand to catch it steadily. Thinking of the strength that Moro showed in the confrontation just now, he couldn't help but feel a little admiration in his heart.
"I'm sorry, I haven't introduced you formally yet, I am Mo Laowu, a one-star professional ocean hunter."
Mo Laowu habitually put the pipe on his shoulder, and then pointed to his side with his thumb. Companion: "This is Geraqiang, also a sea hunter."
"Although I am not a star yet, I will be soon."
Geraqiang glanced sideways at Mo Laowu and added specifically.
Mo Laowu was amused and laughed.
Morrow looked at the two of them, thought for a while, and asked aloud: "There is something I am very curious about. You seem to know a lot about phantom beasts, but you are particularly surprised by Chimera's behavior."
Mo Laowu and Glaqiang glanced at each other subconsciously, and they could see a hint of strangeness in each other's eyes.
「能不惊讶吗——」
格拉羌目光一转，看了眼正懒洋洋将脑袋搁在甲板上的奇美拉，道：
「就目前人类对幻兽的资料记载，以及我们所接The phantom beasts that have been touched will not be so docile and obedient. On the contrary, they are extremely aggressive. Even if they are not for prey, they will often attack humans actively. "
"Really?" Moro turned his head and looked at the Chimera, with a strange color flashing in his eyes.
Speaking of which, he doesn’t know much about fantasy beasts.
I simply feel that this kind of creature that only appears in fabricated myths is most likely coming from the Dark Continent. Now it seems that the phantom beast seems to be a particularly aggressive existence.
But after he hatched the Chimera with the energy of the annual rings, he never felt any hostility or aggression from the Chimera.
Let alone realize the difficulty of taming the phantom beast.
Graqiang looked at Moreau's reaction and couldn't help but ask: "I'm even more curious about how you 'tamed' the Chimera. According to classic records, even the legendary phantom beast hunter only established a relationship of equality and mutual trust with the 'Pegasus phantom beast'. "
"Gelaqiang."
Mo Laowu touched his companion's shoulder with his pipe at the right time. It was really inappropriate to ask such a question involving core secrets to someone who had just met him for the first time.
Gela Qiang felt slightly comfortable, and then naturally added: "Suddenly I am not curious anymore."
Mo Lao Wu raised his hand and raised his forehead speechlessly. Mo Luo could understand Mo Lao Wu's character based on the original work, but he knew nothing about Gera Qiang, so it was naturally impossible to reveal these things.
He just smiled and did not answer.
Graqiang was a little disappointed because he could not satisfy his curiosity, but he did not force it.
Mo Laowu suddenly thought of something and reminded: "Moro, although the Chimera is indeed unique, I suggest that we try to avoid exposing it to the public eye."
"Oh?"
Morrow raised his eyebrows in surprise.
“This is not alarmist. As a marine hunter responsible for ecological protection, I am very clear about some of the conditions in the black market.”
Mo Laowu took back his pipe and put it on his shoulder again, and said seriously: "In that place, the bounties related to fantasy beasts have long been at the top of the list.
Some buyers may just want to make the fantasy beasts. It was collected as a specimen, but mostly to eat it. "
"I understand, thank you for reminding me."
Moro was slightly stunned, but inexplicably remembered that Chimera had appeared in Youkesin before.
At that time, many guests attending the auction and gang members should have seen the existence of Chimera.
Later, I left You Kexin and followed Jin to the ruins. After that, I devoted myself to training for a year. Until now, the hunter test has ended, but I haven’t encountered anyone who came for the phantom beast.
But if you think about it carefully, with Jin's ability to keep information secret, even if someone is targeting Chimera, it is basically impossible to know the whereabouts of him and Chimera.
Morrow's conjecture is correct.
All previous actions in the ruins were kept strictly confidential.
In the previous You Kexin incident, the ten old men and the hunters of the phantom beasts targeted in the black market, no matter what their motives were, they did think about taking action against Moro.
It’s just that the whereabouts cannot be investigated,
On the contrary, Kurapika, who left the ruins half a year early, was quickly targeted by the people in Meteor Street in the process of searching for the eyeballs of his compatriots.
So in theory, as long as Moreau takes common means of transportation such as airships and trains, or appears in some crowded city streets and other areas, it is very likely that the ten old men and others will know his whereabouts in a very short period of time.
Morrow doesn't know about these potential crises that may come from the Ten Old Men, and even if he knows, he won't care too much.
However, Moreau still listened to Mo Laowu's reminder and did not stay any longer.
After exchanging contact information with Mo Laowu Geraqiang, he left with Chimera and flew to the direction of Whale Island.
Two days later.
Morrow came to Whale Island.
Whale Island is as its name suggests, looking like a whale from a distance.
At the head, there is an active volcano.
The secret book of the divine word strategy that Jin mentioned is in an inconspicuous cave on the cliff at the tail of the whale.
After Moro arrived at Whale Island, he directly asked Chimera to go to the active volcano.
There was almost no one there, which was suitable for Chimera to hide.
After placing Curious Mela, Moreau went to the tail of Whale Island alone.
When he arrived, he saw a woman standing on the edge of the cliff facing the sea breeze.
The wind blew that beautiful short hair.
The woman seemed not to notice the arrival of Moreau behind her, and raised her hand to tuck her hair behind her ears.
