Becoming Stronger After Death: I Keep Seeking Death in the World of the Universe.

Chapter 458 Hunting Predators
The Predators are a well-known alien civilization.

It first appeared in the movie "Predator" starring Arnold Schwarzenegger.

They are a unique race that possesses advanced technology while retaining primitive tribal culture.

It's worth mentioning that the title "Predator" was originally used to refer to Dutch, the character played by Schwarzenegger.

"Yautja" is the original racial name of the Predators.

Alternatively, they can be called predators.

But without a doubt, based on the development of time...

The name Predator has been completely transferred from Dutch to the Predator.

Xu Wang also prefers to call them Predators.

Based on Ah Er's description of the unknown creature, Xu Wang roughly guessed that they might have encountered a Predator.

After all, whether it's the fondness for hunting down strong prey or the habit of skinning and hanging up their prey, it's very similar to the Predator.

But in the end, this is still just Xu Wang's guess.

We need to double-check and confirm this.

So Xu Wang drew a rough outline of a Predator on the ground and asked A'er to identify it.

Ah Er peeked out and saw that the Predator drawn by Xu Wang had some differences in details compared to the one he had seen yesterday.

But overall, they are indeed very similar.

He nodded and pointed to the painting on the ground: "That's it! I'll never forget it!"

"Okay, it really is a Predator. This is getting interesting."

A smile immediately appeared on Xu Wang's face.

Now that the Predator has appeared, it's highly likely that the Xenomorph also exists in this world.

Although the Alien movies are relatively independent.

There are basically no Predator elements in it.

In the Predator universe, the Xenomorphs are essentially tied to their race.

Where there is iron and blood, there will inevitably be aliens.

In addition, there are flashing text prompts.

This is the world of Starship Troopers.

This leads to the conclusion that there must also be Araqi insectoids here.

Putting everything else aside, at least we don't have to worry about the universe not being lively enough.

Seeing Xu Wang deep in thought, after pointing out the Predator, A'er suddenly added, "High Priest, there are many women, old people and children in the cave by the river."

"Could we let them join our orc tribe?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Wang looked at A'er and nodded, saying, "That's no problem. Our tribe is short of people, and the more people the better."

"I also wanted to go and see for myself the traces left by the Predators."

"That's really great."

With Xu Wang's consent, A'er breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Without further ado, let's set off now."

Xu Wang stood up abruptly.

The surrounding tribespeople also got up.

But obviously, we don't need that many people this time.

Xu Wang only designated A-Da and Da-Er to follow him, while the rest stayed in the tribe and did whatever they were supposed to do.

They also need to build shelters for the new population that has been merged in.

This will take a lot of effort.

If everyone runs out the door, that's a real waste of resources.

Everyone needs to perform their respective duties.

A'er led the way, and Xu Wang and the other two left the tribe and entered the jungle again.

Inside the forest, the surrounding scenery remained almost unchanged.

It's easy to get lost if you're not careful.

Fortunately, both Ah Da and Ah Er are experienced.

Especially Ah Er, who usually lives by the river in the forest, is quite familiar with the surrounding environment.

Under his guidance, Xu Wang finally heard the babbling of a river in the south.

Emerging from the dense forest, Xu Wang immediately spotted a tribal camp built against a cliffside cave.

A woman is fishing by the river.

Others were smoking dried fish.

They also need to stock up on food for the winter.

Especially in this era.

Once winter arrives, the river water freezes over.

Without ice-breaking tools, they can hardly make a living off the river anymore.

If it wasn't said by Ah Er himself.

Looking at this picture of fishing and weaving, it's really hard to imagine that many of their people were killed by Predators last night.

However, upon closer inspection, Xu Wang also discovered a blood-soaked corpse lying on the ground nearby.

Just as Ah Er described, all the corpses had been skinned.

It looks extremely bloody and terrifying.

In this primitive era teeming with predators, such a strong smell of blood would obviously attract many dangers.

But the people of the Fish Tribe had no other choice.

They are currently unable to dig so many pits to bury their people.

Their traditions also discourage them from burning the bodies of their people.

So all they can do now is wait for Ah Er to go out and establish a new camp.

Then they abandoned the place and used the cave as a burial place for their dead people.

"Ah Er?!"

Just then, a young girl used a spear to stab a large fish out of the river.

Turning around, he saw Ah Er returning with Xu Wang and Ah Da, and immediately exclaimed in surprise, "Did you succeed or fail?"

She was a little unsure of the situation.

Especially Ah Da, the two-meter-tall hulking man behind Ah Er, was quite frightening.

Ah Er patted his chest and said devoutly, "The great high priest has accepted us, and now we can also receive the orcs' blessing and live in the orc tribe."

"what?"

The girl was even more puzzled upon hearing this.

"Go and talk to them in detail, and tell them to pack their things and get ready to move. I'll go check in the woods."

As Xu Wang spoke, he pointed to the dense forest behind the group of corpses: "You saw the Predator there, right?"

Ah Er nodded.

He was initially frightened by the Predator, but after witnessing the miracle that happened to Ah Da, he was now somewhat eager to encounter the Predator again.

Ah Er was thinking.

If he can defeat such a powerful monster.

Surely everyone in the tribe can acknowledge his power?
"I also need to go."

Ah Da and Ah Er had the same idea and immediately said that they also wanted to go and play with the Predator.

Xu Wang refused him, saying, "You should stay and help them move. The current Predators are still too dangerous for you."

Upon hearing this, Ah Da immediately replied, "I am not afraid of danger, I am not afraid of death."

Xu Wang continued, "I know, but now is not the time. Believe me, in the future you will be able to fight without any worries."

According to Xu Wang's plan, he intended to use his mental power to give the tribesmen a buff that granted them a resurrection coin.

To maintain order in the universe like the Land of Light, we need to give our tribesmen a power boost.

However, this still requires some preliminary preparations.

It's not the right time yet.

Before Xu Wang's "Resurrection Coin" buff was stacked.

Every member of the tribe is a precious contributor of spiritual power and should not be sacrificed casually.

Hearing Xu Wang say this, A-Da was somewhat disappointed, but he could only accept the order.

So Xu Wang went alone to the edge of the camp to examine the corpses.

The technique was so skillful that only an intelligent being could have done it.

Following the trails of the body being dragged along, and the bloodstains on the ground, Xu Wang continued forward, entering the dense forest.

At about fifty meters away, the amount of blood splattered around them noticeably increased.

There are still many signs of damage from the battle on the surrounding trees.

It is clear that the hunters of the Fish Tribe encountered the Predator here.

"The bodies were probably intended to be hung here; there were more than a dozen bodies hanging around it."

Xu Wang imagined the scene at that time.

Late at night, more than a dozen skinned, bloodied corpses hung all over the woods.

The murderer is still lurking around, silently observing your every move. If an ordinary person encountered this scene, they would probably faint on the spot.

"Having killed hunters from more than a dozen tribes, he is most likely not a bloodless or new blood type, but perhaps a bloodstained Predator."

If it's a bloodstained Predator, it's most likely still nearby, searching for stronger, more worthy prey.

Xu Wang had a fairly good understanding of the Predator's design and could roughly deduce the Predator's hunting logic.

The mental energy scan spread outwards.

Everything in the dense forest was instantly brought into Xu Wang's view.

Just as Xu Wang had imagined, a few hundred meters away, a Predator was fighting a saber-toothed tiger.

That saber-toothed tiger was probably attracted by the smell of blood from the corpse.

If it weren't for the Predator blocking the way.

The fishermen living along the riverbank might be in more danger.

Now that the Predator's location has been determined.

Xu Wang jumped directly onto a tree branch and rapidly approached the location of Tie Xue.

soon.

From afar, Xu Wang could hear the roar of a saber-toothed tiger coming from the dense forest.

After he got close to the battlefield.

The hunt is drawing to a close.

As the saber-toothed tiger pounced on him, the Predator suddenly slid under the tiger's belly.

At the same time, he raised the wrist blade in his hand and instantly ripped the saber-toothed tiger open.

"Great! A beautiful sliding tackle!"

Upon seeing this, Xu Wang couldn't help but applaud and cheer for this iron-blooded warrior.

The sudden sound made Tie Xue, who was bending down to pick up his spoils, turn around sharply and his gaze instantly locked onto Xu Wang sitting on the big tree behind him.

This also allowed Xu Wang to see its appearance clearly.

This is the standard Predator look.

Wearing a full-coverage helmet, a fishnet outfit, and a small amount of armor on top.

Especially his dreadlocks, which are very eye-catching.

Visually, the Predator gives off a wild and untamed feel.

It actually fits in very well with the tribespeople.

Xu Wang paid particular attention to the weaponry and equipment of this iron-blooded individual.

It seems to be a minimalist.

Aside from the shoulder cannons that are standard equipment on almost every Predator.

It was only equipped with a wrist blade worn on its right hand.

Although the equipment looked rather rudimentary, Xu Wang had just witnessed Ironblood's actions.

He was clearly a battle-hardened warrior.

This is most likely the person he suspected was the one stained with blood.

In the Predator's tribal culture, there is a "points-based" promotion system.

Roughly divided into Bloodless, New Blood, Bloodstained, Leader, Elite, Elder, and Ancient.

The Bloodless are children and teenagers among the Predators who have not yet received any combat training.

In fact, at this stage, the Predator hadn't even entered the ranking system yet.

Until they have completed all their training on their own planet and become new blood.

Only then can one be considered to have entered the Predator ranking system.

However, new blood donors can still be considered minors.

To become a Bloodstained One, one must complete a coming-of-age ceremony.

This requires the new recruits to hunt a powerful prey, as part of a mission.

They then smeared their own bodies with the blood of their prey to complete the ritual.

Ever since the Predators discovered the Xenomorphs in the vast universe.

This perfect creature became the Predator's favorite.

Many Ironblood clans began to choose hunting aliens as a symbol of adulthood.

Even some clans that do not hunt aliens must hunt prey that is just as dangerous as the drone aliens.

Therefore, it is clear that anyone who completes the coming-of-age ceremony and becomes a blood-stained iron-blooded warrior is a qualified soldier.

"brush!"

Xu Wang jumped down from the tree, stood in front of Tie Xue, and said with a smile, "Don't you guys really like hunting other people?"
Have you ever experienced what it feels like to be hunted?

The Predator's arm displayed text on a small computer, and it slightly raised its chin.

It was clear that he understood Xu Wang's language.

"Quack quack!"

The next moment, the iron-willed man's shoulders twitched, and he let out an unpleasant laugh.

Then, under Xu Wang's gaze.

The Predator took a small ball from its waist and tossed it into the air.

The ball instantly transformed into a mechanical bird.

After transforming, the bird did not perform any other actions; it simply spread its wings and hovered in the sky.

Xu Wang roughly guessed that this thing was some kind of detection device.

Little did they know, Ironblood had already started a live broadcast.

Hundreds of kilometers away.

Inside an invisible, iron-blooded spaceship.

Several new recruits were completing a survey task assigned by their teacher.

At this moment, the large screen next to them suddenly lit up, immediately attracting the attention of this group of iron-blooded soldiers.

"It's the teacher; he's going to start hunting again."

"Once the survey is over, it'll be time for us to have our coming-of-age ceremony, right?"

These new recruits, in terms of appearance and physique, were actually not much different from the bloodstained individuals that Xu Wang had encountered.

However, they have not experienced the tempering of real combat.

In terms of temperament, they give off a very different feeling.

Watching the surveillance footage of his teacher confronting Xu Wang.

Several freshmen who had just finished their studies expressed great envy.

They also yearn for a life where they can pilot their own spaceships and freely hunt prey in the universe.

"here we go!"

One of the new blood donors opened the wound.

As seen in the surveillance footage, Xu Wang was the first to rush towards the bloodstained mentor.

The man, stained with blood but brimming with confidence, puffed out his chest and suddenly threw a punch at Xu Wang!

"bump!"

The two fists collided in mid-air.

Just listen to a "click"!
The Predator's arm broke instantly, and he flew backward!

After flying more than ten meters, it crashed heavily into a large tree before falling to the ground.

"what?!"

"How can this be?!"

Inside the Ironblood spaceship, several new recruits were filled with disbelief upon witnessing this scene.

Could there be such powerful individuals among the creatures on this planet?

It's just like in Dragon Ball.

Aliens invaded Earth and discovered that there were super Saiyans mixed in with the human population.

But soon, the group of Predators became excited again!
"He's too powerful! I want to hunt him! I want to hunt him!"

"This will be an honor! A great honor!"

In the dense forest, the Predator who had been sent flying by Xu Wang's punch, after being stunned, also had the same thoughts as the group of new recruits.

Such powerful prey, even if it dies at the hands of its opponent, is an honor.

If the hunt is successful.

That would be an immense honor!

This tough guy immediately got up from the ground.

Ignoring the pain in his hands, he searched everywhere for Xu Wang's whereabouts.

But oddly enough.

Xu Wang, who was just standing there, has now disappeared.

Completely oblivious.

A large tree beside it grinned, revealing a set of big white teeth.
