Chapter 169 Popcorn x Peng Si
"I can't find it." Neferpitou tried to search for the human again, but found that he could no longer sense the other person's presence.
This is completely different from the previous situation where they wanted to announce to the whole world, "I am here."
"Was it a deliberate attempt to lure me there?"
But he didn't kill her, and he was quite familiar with the two people around the Queen.
She thought for a moment and decided to return to her nest first.
Let's play with stronger humans next time~
……
Small villages dot the NGL landscape, and some of them were already deserted when Su Wu and his group arrived.
Some villages still exist because of their remote location and small population.
However, the lack of information dissemination meant they remained unaware of the existence of Chimera ants.
The people here even travel by horseback or by pushcarts made of wooden planks.
Aimei and Ai Li, these two non-humans, remained by Su Wu's side, quiet and still, without speaking, and without any footsteps, breathing, or even heartbeats.
It doesn't look very human, and it's not human in essence.
Shouldn't these two follow that cat-like chimera ant back to continue observing the ants?
Su Wu felt that the two siblings were like the kind of kids who would squat by the roadside to watch ants move house or snails slowly crawl along when they were young, and might even lend a hand to help the snails move faster.
"Shouldn't you two be following the ants?" Su Wu glanced at the two guys with annoyance.
Why follow him? Do you think it's more interesting to observe him?
"You're more interesting than chimeras and humans. We want to see what you'll do," Amy said seriously, dressed in a strange purple robe.
It's like he's not human...
Su Wu thought to herself, but then turned to look to the side.
In the corner, a few bees flew shakily; they looked like ordinary bees.
However—there was residual gas on those bees.
Bees kept by hunters? That doesn't seem like something a local resident of NGL would do. So, it must be a hunter entering the country?
Oh, a hunter has discovered NGL's situation and is coming over.
But this has nothing to do with him...
Until Su Wu returned to where the airship was, and saw Maro and Kong waiting there, and—
A girl with blue hair wearing a pink and white patchwork hat was frozen in ice.
And the boy with a purple hat and light flaxen hair who was pinned to the ground by the white tiger and pushed around like a toy with its claws.
Even the bow and arrows, which were used as weapons, were left aside.
The two of them are quite good at finding things to pass the time.
"Let me go." Poku'er struggled, but due to the size difference, she couldn't escape the claws of the white tiger beast.
"..." The white tiger beast, which had been easily pinned down by one of its front paws, lazily yawned with its tail wagging. Suddenly, it froze, quickly closed its open mouth, withdrew its front paw from holding down Baokuer, and pounced in one direction.
Taking advantage of the moment, Popcorn rolled over, grabbed a bow and arrow from a short distance away, and crouched down to prepare to shoot.
The arrow pointed directly at the direction of the monster. The next second, Boku saw a figure. Immediately, his pupils widened, but he did not put away his bow and arrow.
"You guys... had a lot of fun?" Su Wu looked at Maro and Sora with an ambiguous expression, and patted Sora's head.
Kong squinted, shrank his head, and obediently took the beating. His head was slapped repeatedly, but he didn't dare to bare his teeth.
Seeing this, Maro released the frozen girl beside him and made her stand quietly behind Su Wu, like a silent shadow.
"Pons." Popcorn breathed a sigh of relief as she watched the girl break free of the ice.
"This person..." Peng Si approached Bao Ku'er, her expression wary yet somewhat strange.
They just saw someone they knew and a familiar... tiger, so they came to say hello and exchange information.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they appeared, the man and the tiger didn't give them a chance to speak and arrested them directly.
It's just too much.
"You're here at NGL to investigate?" Su Wu turned to look at the two men. "You two look vaguely familiar..."
These two people look like I've seen them before.
"Does this look familiar?" Kong lay on the ground, resting his chin on Su Wu's shoe, blinking and wagging his tail.
I don't feel anything for them, and I don't know them.
"Is it someone we know?" Maro also looked somewhat puzzled and hesitant.
Really? I don't think I've seen this before. I have no recollection of it.
Baokuer and Pengsi were taken aback.
Huh? The Hunter Exam examiners have no recollection of them?
This is truly...frustrating news.
"We are candidates for the 287th Hunter Exam," Pokkuru said.
"Ah, I remember now, it seems like there were two of you." Su Wu suddenly realized.
I knew it looked familiar, so that's perfect, no need to go through my memory.
"I'm working as a Beast Hunter," Popcorn explained.
Why come to NGL? Is it because of its simple and unpretentious scenery or authentic food? Of course not.
I came here because the environment in NGL is undisturbed and has abundant biodiversity.
"It's you, the beekeeper." Su Wu looked at Peng Si thoughtfully.
He remembered that there was a beekeeper among the candidates, and there was also someone who kept snakes.
Then the beekeeper killed the snakekeeper? Anyway, it was quite a dramatic process.
"..." Peng Si, who had no idea when she got the nickname "beekeeper," had a subtle expression.
"You guys...don't you remember us at all?" Popcorn hesitated, then stopped herself from speaking.
"Well... is there anything about you that I should remember?" Su Wu asked in return.
Maro and Sora, who were initially filled with anxiety, instantly breathed a sigh of relief. Right, even if they didn't remember these two people, it wasn't a big deal.
There was nothing about these two people that they should remember!
It's not their fault! It's simply that these two people weren't memorable enough!
"This place is not suitable for the weak to survive. You'd better run away quickly," Su Wu rarely reminded him.
In fact, most of the time, he thought of himself as a good person.
"..." Pokokul and Pons looked dejected.
No one would be happy to be called weak to their face.
But the person who said that was already their examiner two years ago.
"Oh, now you can't leave even if you want to." Su Wu suddenly looked up at the sky.
Everyone looked up, but saw nothing.
"Is there anything there?" Pokkuru asked warily, gripping the bow in her hand tightly.
"Just a bunch of flying ants," the white-haired boy said casually.
"Let's go." He walked into the tent he had set up.
Pokkuru and the others tentatively followed forward, and then... they bumped into it.
"What...is this?" Pokokul and Pons touched the air in front of them.
Even though there seemed to be nothing there, they touched something like a wall that blocked their path.
The two examiners and the monster walked past them without any hindrance, and their figures disappeared before their eyes.
Pokoo and Ponce, along with the two siblings outside, looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Ah, I forgot about you guys." Su Wu looked at the four guys who had been blocked, snapped her fingers to dismantle the current tent, and set up a new one.
This time, Pokkuru and the others were also enveloped in the tent's area.
They saw the airship that had been right in front of them, but they had never seen it before.
"This is..." Popcorn's eyes were serious.
Is this... that white-haired boy's ability?
