Don't run, there are monsters everywhere.

Recalling the scene when he saw these mantises, Lin Yi remembered it very clearly.

From the moment they saw the mantises around Hua, these guys with spikes just kept imitating what Lin Yi and the others said.

Even if they felt angry, or felt hostile and began to intimidate, they just kept repeating these words.

They seemed unable to express what they thought in the right language. Compared with the mantises in the city, this way of parroting was like an uneducated child who could only babble.

Their mimicry was exactly the same as the strange trees in the woods, which showed that they had lived here for a long time, so they used this method to avoid danger and facilitate hunting.

If Hua was raised by these aliens, then her lifestyle should be the same as these aliens.

However, Hua not only could speak, but even in the communication just now, she could fully express what she thought in her heart.

Even though some of her words were a bit strange, it did not prevent her from communicating normally with Lin Yi.

This was abnormal. A person who had lived with aliens for a long time would not feel that he was a human being from the moment he could remember.

She would regard herself as an alien, as one of these mantises.

Then, she would learn the mantises' lifestyle, disguise herself, and learn their hunting skills.

However, Hua was not like this.

Not only could she express herself normally, she would actively understand the other party's behavior, and even consider Lin Yi and the others.

Her way of thinking was completely different from these mantises.

This girl named "Hua" really looked like a person.

This was a good thing, but once combined with what Hua said before, it would be found that she had been lying from the beginning.

When thinking of this, Lin Yi had a bad guess in his mind-

If Hua was indeed a person raised by mantises, the reason why her way of thinking and living habits were different from those of mantises was because someone was teaching her.

Or, she had contact with normal humans.

So, could it be that the aliens captured humans here, but because they did not reach the time they wanted to eat, they temporarily locked up these captured people.

During this time, these people saw Hua.

Hua's way of thinking and living habits were learned from these imprisoned people during this period.

Of course, this speculation is unfounded, and there are many things that don't make sense.

For example, if these mantises like to eat people like the mantises in the city, then why didn't they eat Hua?

If it's just because of the time of eating, then among the people they caught, there should be people who are about the same age as Hua, or even younger, so where are these people?

Moreover, Hua said before leaving that if Lin Yi and the others want to leave, they can leave at any time.

If they really leave now, how will Hua and those aliens deal with them?

Lin Yi couldn't figure it out for a while.

"Lin Yi, what are you daydreaming about?"

While thinking about these questions, Lu Linhai's voice came to his ears.

Turning back, Lu Linhai came over with a string of roasted mice.

"I've been calling you for a long time, why don't you pay attention to me?"

"You don't fall in love with that girl, do you?" Lu Linhai said with a smirk.

"Could it be that this is the legendary love at first sight? Tsk tsk tsk——"

Lin Yi glared at Lu Linhai.

He walked out of the cave and looked around. After confirming that Hua and the strange creatures were gone, he walked back again.

Lin Yi lowered his voice and whispered, "I think Hua is problematic."

"Her behavior is a little strange."

"I think she's strange, too." Lu Linhai nodded and continued Lin Yi's words.

"You don't know, when I woke up, she wasn't wearing any clothes. She stood there naked and talked to me. I was scared to death."

"I'm a gentleman. Don't look at anything inappropriate."

"No clothes?" Lin Yi was stunned.

Lu Linhai woke up earlier than him and had more contact with Hua than Lin Yi.

"Yes, she wasn't wearing anything." Lu Linhai continued.

"She didn't care at all, just like nothing happened."

"I was embarrassed. I really had no choice but to give her Xiaoyun's clothes."

As he said that, Lu Linhai handed over the roasted mouse in his hand: "Eat something."

Lu Linhai's words dispelled some of Lin Yi's doubts.

Aliens are different from humans. They are more like creatures living in nature, just like the animals that Lin Yi knows.

Therefore, they don't care about clothes or dressing up, and only follow the most primitive habits.

Of course, this does not include the aliens in the city.

Compared with the aliens around Hua, the aliens in the city are more like domesticated animals.

Just like the wolves in nature, after more than 10,000 years of breeding and domestication, although they still retain a small part of the nature of wolves, they eventually become dogs around humans.

The aliens around Hua are like wolves. They are covered with spikes, which can not only help them camouflage themselves, but also strengthen their own defense.

They can spray sticky silk threads to help them catch prey.

They have insect wings, which allow them to fly into the air and observe the movements of prey.

The reason why they are not as big as the mantis in the city also shows that the living environment outside the city is more difficult.

But if this is true, Hua, who has lived with aliens for a long time, will not have the current thinking mode.

Even if Hua has a strong learning ability, without anyone to teach and guide, Hua can't communicate with Lin Yi normally like just now by relying on these parrot-like aliens around her.

"Do you want to eat it?" Seeing Lin Yi silent again, Lu Linhai urged.

"I sprinkled a little fruit juice on it, so it won't taste so fishy."

Lin Yi took the mouse skewers handed by Lu Linhai and turned his head to look at Zhou Kai and others who were sleeping.

Even if he was full of doubts, considering that they hadn't woken up yet, he could only stay here for the time being.

You know, it's not easy to carry An Chengdao alone.

Even if they were forced to take them out, they couldn't go far.

It was late outside the cave. If they left now, they would be in extremely dangerous situations if they encountered mice and strange birds in the forest.

So, the question about Hua and when to leave had to wait until others woke up before deciding.

After telling Lu Linhai and Zhou Yun about their doubts, the three decided to take turns to keep watch.

On the one hand, they were wary of Hua and the aliens around her, and on the other hand, they were worried that other creatures would sneak into the cave while they were asleep.

They had to remain vigilant. After all, based on the information they had obtained so far, this world was too different from what they knew.

If they were not careful, they might die here.

When it was Lin Yi's turn to keep watch, he stood at the entrance of the cave holding Lu Linhai's steel stick.

To be on the safe side, he also used his ability to connect the thread of fate to Zhou Kai.

In fact, Zhou Kai's ability was a torture for Lin Yi, because he could not use it as skillfully as Zhou Kai, and his keen senses made Lin Yi feel a little uncomfortable.

However, at least this could ensure their safety.

Moreover, Lin Yi did not keep the thread of fate connected. He used Zhou Kai's ability to observe the surroundings. After confirming that it was safe, he would immediately break the thread.

This would not only allow the sensory organs to rest, but also explore the upper limit of their abilities and better understand the burden brought by their abilities.

However, just after Lin Yi connected the thread of fate to Zhou Kai for the third time, Lin Yi suddenly heard a series of strange noises.

"Crack-Crack-"

As if something was broken.

"Squeak-Squeak-"

As if something was dissolved.
