I, Yuhaka, am hungry!

"......ha?"

Hearing the lion scorpion's answer, Kal'tsit looked a little puzzled. To be honest, it was the first time she had ever heard of an intruder being a little girl. Kal'tsit rubbed her temples and said:

"Lion Scorpion, did I hear that right? The intruder is... a little girl?"

To Kal'tsit's question, the somewhat aggrieved Manticore clearly told herself that she hadn't seen wrong. After confirming that the person who came to Rhodes Island was indeed a little girl, Kal'tsit couldn't help but wonder if the recent attackers were a bit too strange.

First, the Warfarin convoy was attacked by an infected girl, and now a little girl has arrived on Rhodes Island...

However, after Kal'tsit gave the order to keep a close watch on the little girl, she also planned to go and see the little girl herself to see what was going on.

After Kal'tsit hung up her communicator, Manticore continued her surveillance work. Manticore looked at the black-haired little girl carrying a golden sword not far away and was a little curious about how the child had gotten to Rhodes Island.

..................................

Earlier, in Monster Hunter World...

After Ji Lin and the Merlins cleaned up the ancient ruins that had been destroyed by the Tigrex, Zinogre, or even Ji Lin himself, Ji Lin wiped away his sweat and breathed a sigh of relief, saying to Zelus who was standing beside him:

"Um, Lady Zelus, are you saying that the two berserk monsters were driven mad by some kind of monster?"

Zelus shook her system panel in an affirmative manner and said to Ji Lin:

"That's right, it's an ancient dragon monster with special abilities. It spread something that caused some of the monsters in this ancient forest to become infected with these crazy symptoms. That's why those monsters don't feel any fear of Youyou's scent and have rushed over here."

Hearing Zelus's words, Ji Lin nodded with an understanding expression, and then asked:

"Um, Lady Zerus, what does that ancient dragon monster look like?"

Upon hearing Ji Lin's words, Zelus immediately understood that Ji Lin wanted to deal with that Elder Dragon monster. In response to Ji Lin's question, Zelus quickly answered Ji Lin's questions with some information and data about the Black Eclipse Dragon. Sometimes Zelus felt that letting Ji Lin go hunting might be more obedient than letting Yuhaka do it.

Chapter 299 [Ji Lin's Journey to Rhodes Island]

In the ancient forest, Ji Lin walked alone, searching for the traces of the Black Corrosion Dragon that Zelus had mentioned.

Ji Lin changed out of his casual clothes into a suit of armor made from monster materials, and also carried some tools for auxiliary use.

Ji Lin swung the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand, launching rows of Xuanyuan Sword projections at the little dragons that were trying to ambush him. After eliminating the little dragons, Ji Lin breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"Phew, so the monsters in the ancient forest were also affected..."

Ji Lin looked at the small dragons that had been directly defeated on the ground and said this. After all, those small dragons had glowing red eyes and were breathing black breath. After dealing with the small dragons, Ji Lin squatted down and looked at the footprints left by the Tigrex on the ground and said:

"Hmm...it seems that the crazed Tigrex came from this side..."

Seeing the Tigrex footprints that led them this way, Ji Lin stood up, patted the dirt off his clothes, and followed the Tigrex's footsteps, searching for clues about the Black Eclipse Dragon.

After defeating a dog-dragon clan member who had gone mad, a thousand-bladed dragon that had suddenly attacked him, and a peach-haired beast, Ji Lin finally met the Black Erosion Dragon that Zelus had mentioned.

A dragon covered in jet-black scales. Ji Lin stood on the tree and couldn't see any eyes on the dragon's head, nor did it have a pair of wings that looked like a tattered cloak. After carefully observing these features, Ji Lin nodded and said:

"Hmm, it seems we've found that Black Devouring Dragon..."

As he spoke, Ji Lin took out his Xuanyuan Sword, which transformed into a giant hunting bow. He drew the bowstring taut at the Black Corrosion Dragon and released the arrow, sending it flying. However, at that moment, a void vortex engulfed the Black Corrosion Dragon, and in that instant, Ji Lin's arrow only struck the ground.

"Eh eh eh?!"

Seeing the Black Corruption Dragon suddenly vanish from her sight caused Ji Lin to show a very surprised expression. This was the first time Ji Lin had witnessed a void transfer phenomenon, hence her astonishment. Zelus, standing nearby, noticed the Black Corruption Dragon's sudden disappearance and said to Ji Lin:

"It seems that the void transfer phenomenon has moved that Black Corruption Dragon away, and it didn't transfer the target from the other world. That's a bit strange."

Upon hearing Zelus's words, Ji Lin was also taken aback and said:

"Lady Zelus, was that the void transfer phenomenon you always talk about?"

Regarding Ji Lin's question, Zelusi shook the projection panel and said:

"Yes, that's what's called the void transfer phenomenon. Ji Lin, go back and tell Rorota and the others that you don't need to worry about the Black Eclipse Dragon for the time being."

Upon hearing Zelus's words, Ji Lin nodded in understanding, but soon Zelus called out to Ji Lin.

"Uh, Ji Lin, wait a minute..."

"Hmm? What's wrong, Lady Zelus?"

Ji Lin looked at Zelu with a puzzled expression and asked this question. Zelu then explained to her:

"I've found the location of that Black Corrosive Dragon; it's right near Youyou's place..."

Hearing Zelus's words, Ji Lin was puzzled for a moment, then opened his eyes wide and said:

"Is he with Master Youyou?"

"Yes, uh... to be precise, it is indeed near Youyou, but not in the vicinity of Youyou..."

Upon hearing Zelus's words, Ji Lin nodded with a completely bewildered expression and said:

"That's it..."

After Zelus found out something, she said to Ji Lin:

"Alright, go back to the Melu Cat Restaurant first. After I finish dealing with the passage, you can go find Youyou and ask her to help you deal with the Black Corrosion Dragon."

Upon hearing Zelus's words, Ji Lin nodded in agreement and then returned.

................................................

After Zelus said there were no problems at the Melu Cat Restaurant, Ji Lin pushed open the door and entered the world of Arknights.

Where am I...?

Ji Lin looked at the spacious deck in front of him with a puzzled expression. Zelus, standing beside him, answered his question:

"This is a land-based aircraft carrier belonging to a pharmaceutical company called Rhodes Island, and Yuhaka is also here. We can just ask someone about it later."

Upon hearing Zelus's words, Ji Lin nodded in understanding, and then walked out of the store towards the deck of Rhodes Island.

Although Ji Lin hadn't walked many steps, he felt as if someone was spying on him. He then looked around but didn't see anyone, which puzzled him greatly.

However, Ji Lin ignored all that and started looking for a door to go in. Just as Ji Lin was looking for a door, he sensed an unexpected life force, which surprised him slightly.

"Hmm? Is anyone over there?"

Ji Lin shifted his perspective slightly and saw a strange humanoid life form in front of him.

"Hmm... so it was in stealth mode?"

Ji Lin then deactivated his vision and checked, but still couldn't see the person. It seemed that the person had truly become invisible...

"Um... hello, I have a question I'd like to ask you..."

With a "let's give it a try" attitude, Ji Lin asked the invisible figure. The invisible figure twitched slightly upon hearing Ji Lin's question, indicating that it had heard Ji Lin's question.

Upon hearing Ji Lin's question, the Lion Scorpion also showed a hint of panic. Clearly, the Lion Scorpion was not expecting to be discovered by Ji Lin and appeared somewhat flustered.

Fortunately, the Lion Scorpion quickly calmed down and pretended not to hear Ji Lin's words. Since Ji Lin hadn't seen the invisible figure and hadn't answered his question, Ji Lin asked another question:

"Do you know where Master Youyou is?"

Upon hearing Ji Lin's question, the Lion Scorpion clearly showed a surprised expression and looked at Ji Lin, saying:

"You know Youyou?!"

Upon hearing the invisible figure answer his question, Ji Lin immediately perked up and looked at the invisible Lion Scorpion, saying:

"Yes, of course I know Youyou, after all, she's my mentor..."

And husbands and stuff... (blushing)

Chapter 300 [Chapter 300 Achieved]

After Ji Lin told Lion Scorpion that she knew Youyou, Lion Scorpion was initially puzzled. Then, after carefully considering Ji Lin's words to see if there was anything suspicious, and finding that Ji Lin wasn't lying, Lion Scorpion said to Ji Lin:

"Um... please wait a moment, let me ask Dr. Kal'tsit first..."

Hearing Lionscorpion's words, Ji Lin nodded with an understanding expression, while Lionscorpion, remaining invisible, contacted Kal'tsit and said:

"Um, Dr. Kal'tsit..."

While Kal'tsit was gathering manpower inside Rhodes Island, her communicator rang again, startling her for a moment. Then, as if remembering something, she answered the communicator and said:

"I am Kal'tsit."

【Um, Dr. Kal'tsit, that person spotted me.】

Hearing the Manticore's words, Kal'tsit raised an eyebrow slightly. She was well aware of the Manticore's strength; even on Rhodes Island, few could detect a stealthy Manticore. She hadn't expected the intruder to be able to detect it either, which gave Kal'tsit a good assessment of the intruder's abilities. Then, Kal'tsit spoke to the Manticore on the other end of the communicator:

"Scorpion, did you manage to take down that intruder?"

Upon hearing Kal'tsit's words, Manticore also told Kal'tsit about the situation here:

[Um, Dr. Kal'tsit, that intruder said she knew Yuu, and even called Yuu "Master"...]

"Master? Does that intruder know Youyou?"

Kal'tsit seemed a little surprised by Manticore's answer. After all, Kal'tsit had also gathered some information about Ehaka. According to the information, Ehaka was found by Penguin Logistics in the wilderness near Lungmen. Logically, he shouldn't know anyone. Why would a "disciple" suddenly appear?

After much deliberation, Kal'tsit, still unable to figure it out, decided to have Manticore bring the person over. If it really was Yuu's apprentice, it would cause trouble if a misunderstanding arose. Just as Kal'tsit had Manticore bring the person over, Blaze, carrying his large chainsaw, approached Kal'tsit and said:

"Dr. Kal'tsit, we're all ready. Who are the enemies? Watch me tear them apart alive."

Kal'tsit looked at Hoshiguma, who seemed ready to tear the Originium Bugs apart alive, and a bead of cold sweat trickled down her forehead. She then told Hoshiguma:

"Tell ACE to cancel the operation... No, let's be on alert first, just in case."

Upon hearing Kal'tsit's words, Blaze wore a (?ヘ??) expression, clearly not quite understanding what Kal'tsit had said.

............................................................

Inside Rhodes Island, Ji Lin followed Lion Scorpion to the reception room. Ji Lin seemed a little nervous looking at the reception room. In Ji Lin's opinion, this pharmaceutical company called Rhodes Island seemed quite impressive, with its headquarters being a huge mobile facility or something.

Moreover, Ji Lin also saw some children on the way here. By the way, are those children the children of employees of Rhodes Island?

Although Ji Lin also saw a child who looked about her age holding an axe, could Rhodes Island be some kind of unscrupulous company?

And most importantly, do all the animals in this world have animal-like physical characteristics?

"Um, please have a seat..."

The Lion Scorpion waved his hand, signaling Ji Lin to sit on the sofa and wait for Kal'tsit and the others to arrive. Not long after, Kal'tsit brought Amiya and Blaze into the reception room.

Kal'tsit looked at the little girl in front of her, who was about the same age as Amiya, with some doubt. Although she looked no different from other girls, the lack of obvious racial features made Kal'tsit wonder if the little girl in front of her was of the Agor race.

After Amiya and Kal'tsit finished discussing things, Amiya asked Ji Lin:

"Excuse me, did you say Miss Youyou is your mentor?"

In response to Amiya's question, Ji Lin stood up and answered:
