All my hunting commissions come from another world?

02:23:11: The machine has completed its reboot. There are no spirits on the other side of the spatial rift, which is presumably a new world. It encountered a creature that appeared to be a dragon spirit and was hit by red lightning. The machine was damaged by more than 90% and entered a hibernation state.

05:34:24: The second reboot is complete. The aircraft is in free fall. During the reboot of the flight module, it is hit by a red meteor and the aircraft goes into hibernation again.

08:11:23: Three reboots completed. The machine has been devoured by an unknown creature. Low energy reserves. Armament activation failed. Second reboot failed. Backup hidden energy activation failed. SOS mode activated.

Inside Zhou Si's tent, Melo kept her eyes tightly shut. The horrific scenes described in the machine's log were vivid in her mind. A hint of human confusion appeared in her eyes. This confusion was not imitation or pretense, but rather a genuine lack of understanding.

Was she being targeted by some kind of lucky star? According to her calculations, the probability of something like her happening is far less than 1%.

Melo, designated Bt7274Se01s392, was originally observer number 7274 of the B-Link. Her birth was an accident. No machine-type knew where she came from. She was simply included in the Link after her birth, so it was natural to regard her as a fellow member.

Compared to other mechs, Melo's performance is more balanced, but her individual abilities cannot compare to those of her kind who specialize in that area. The reason she became an observation subject is because she is more interested in observation.

That's right, this is the biggest difference between Melo and other Mechs: she was born with a 'heart'.

Unfortunately, this sentiment cannot be transmitted to other machine types through data; it can only remain Melo's own little secret.

"Analysis: The damage to the body is too severe. This amount of energy is insufficient to repair it. We need to find a substitute energy source."

Melo silently analyzed the current situation. Her situation was too bad, and she didn't even dare to use too much computing power, as that would lead to a significant increase in power consumption.

The energy Zhou Si provided was only enough to keep her running normally; if she couldn't find a substitute energy source, she wouldn't be able to do anything.

However, the danger of this world far exceeded her calculations. The crimson lightning destroyed most of her modules almost instantly, giving her no time to react. Although she didn't know why that being didn't kill her in the end, such power was probably comparable to that of a legendary god.

Besides that, there was the unknown being named Zhou Si. Although Melo's computing power was limited, she still observed that Zhou Si was different from others. Compared to humans, his body was more like those of dragons, not to mention the mysterious Hunter's Book in his hand.

Through calculations, Melo became convinced that Zhou Si was the key to his return to Disboard and rejoin the Link.

[Objective revised; primary objective: to gain the trust of the unknown individual, Zhou Si.]

——————————————————————————————

Meanwhile, Zhou Si and the others finally arrived at Fengyin Village.

"Thank you for your kindness, I am very grateful."

"But the timing is not right now, so please do not approach the village."

The middle-aged man named Zato turned away the investigation team as soon as they arrived, and Zhou Si, who was following behind, frowned.

"Wait, we haven't thanked them yet..."

Isai looked very surprised; he didn't understand why Zato was acting so coldly at this moment.

"Furthermore, the Heron Eagle Dragon is very..."

Zato interrupted Isai, his tone very firm.

Alma and Lone Bird exchanged a glance, and just as they were about to speak, Zhou Si suddenly gasped for breath, then let out a 'uh' and collapsed to the ground.

The lone bird reacted the fastest; she immediately understood Zhou Si's thoughts and pounced on Zhou Si's side.

"Liao Zhou! How could you be so lao Zhou!"

"Don't die! It's all my fault for making you run so far. I deserve to die! Lao Zhou, you must hold on!"

Everyone present was stunned. Alma stared at Lone Bird's convincing acting, her mouth agape, unsure of what to do.

"Brother Zhou Si, are you alright?"

"Brother Yi Sai, come quickly and see what's wrong with Brother Zhou Si."

The innocent children obviously didn't understand what they were doing. When Nuonuo saw Zhou Si 'faint,' she immediately went over and called out to her brother.

Isai quickly moved closer to Zhou Si and placed his hand on Zhou Si's neck.

But who is Zhou Si? Controlling his heartbeat is a piece of cake for him!

"Mr. Zhou Si! Zato, quickly call the doctor, he's dying!"

Feeling Zhou Si's pulse gradually weakening, Isai was shocked and immediately shouted loudly to the middle-aged man next to him.

Zato frowned. How could such a coincidence happen? Moreover, he knew Isai's character very well. He would never deliberately deceive him, much less harm the village.

The sound at the village entrance attracted many villagers, who all looked at Zhou Si lying on the ground with curiosity. Zato gritted his teeth, turned around and walked into the village.

"Follow."

Upon hearing this, Isai immediately ran into the village, found a small cart, and helped Zhou Si onto it.

Zhou Si, lying on the cart, quietly opened one eye and gave the lone bird a thumbs-up. The lone bird returned his approving look.

Alma witnessed everything, but in the end she only opened her mouth slightly before looking away from the two of them.

And so they entered Fengyin Village without incident. Yi Sai led the Lone Birds and pushed Zhou Si back to her home. Hearing the commotion outside, an old woman came out of the stone house.

"Isai, what happened? Why are there so many guests at home all of a sudden?"

“Grandma, they are travelers from the west, and they are my and Nuonuo’s benefactors. Let’s talk about those things later. Mr. Zhou Si seems to be dying. Let’s help him inside to lie down. The doctor will be here soon.”

Isai spoke very quickly, and his mother-in-law saw Zhou Si lying on the board and hurriedly led them into the house.

The doctor arrived quickly. After performing some basic examinations on Zhou Si, the doctor slowly shook his head at Zha Tuo and the others.

"Lao Zhou, don't die!"

Overwhelmed by the role, the lone bird squeezed out a few tears and collapsed onto the stone bed, bursting into loud sobs.

Chapter Thirty-One: The Attack

"This gentleman just fainted due to overwork and a bit of heatstroke. He's fine and will be alright after a rest."

The doctor from Fengyin Village made this diagnosis, which finally put the hearts of Isai's family at ease, especially Isai. If something had really happened to the person who saved Nono, he would have felt guilty for a long time.

The lone bird turned its back to them, not wanting them to see its suppressed laughter.

Back when they were in the Dragon's Recess, Zhou Si jumped around by the lava lake for hours without even breaking a sweat. She would have a hard time resisting heatstroke.

"Alma, I can take care of Zhou Si. We're sorry to bother you, but could you please go and talk to the villagers? Thank you for your help."

The lone bird had not forgotten their original purpose. The Forbidden Land Investigation Team's trip was not only to help Nata find his people, but also to explore this unknown land.

Fengyin Village has been settled in this sandy plain since ancient times. To better understand this land, it is essential to interact with the local residents, or rather, it is an unavoidable thing.

Lone Bird himself isn't very good at this, and if the two of them act together, their goals would be too obvious, so it would be better to leave it to Alma, who is better at communicating with people.

"Then I'll leave Mr. Zhou Si to you."

Alma nodded and left the house with Isai.

"Hunter sister, will Brother Zhou Si die?"

Nono asked with concern, the little girl was obviously terrified, or rather, everyone except Lone Bird and Alma was quite frightened, after all, the skill of controlling one's pulse was still too advanced for humans.

"It's okay, he can usually eat a whole head of boba by himself, he's very healthy."

While comforting Nuonuo, the lone bird took a picture of Zhou Si and sent it to a group chat with only three people.

A passing hunter: [Peaceful.jpg]

Pink Fairy: [? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ]

A passing hunter: [Deduct 1 to clear Zhou Haf coins.]

Pink Fairy: [111111, is this really Qing-mei?]

After casually exchanging a few words in the group chat, Nuonuo was taken out by her mother-in-law, leaving the room to Zhou Si and Gu Niao.

"Lao Zhou, what do you think?"

The lone bird watched Zhou Si, who had opened one eye, but its eyes never left the phone screen.

After confirming that no one else was in the room, Zhou Si sat up from the bed and took out another piece of portable food from her prop bag to eat.

“This village is strange. I’ve been observing them the whole way here. There aren’t any particularly powerful individuals in the village, and there are a lot of women and children. How did such a village survive in this forbidden land?”

"When I entered the village, many villagers looked at my weapon with curiosity. Isai was also very surprised that I was able to defeat the Tethered Frog, which means that the village does not have a way to directly resist the monster."

The lone bird added that their village's location was not suitable for defending against monsters. Based on their apparent defensive strength, let alone those powerful monsters, a few more Entangling Frogs would be enough to wipe them out.

There are many other unreasonable aspects, such as why their resources do not seem to be scarce, even though they live in a desert area.

"My guess is that it's most likely related to those crystals hanging there. The sound they make when the wind blows them gives me a faint sense of the shadow of some powerful creature."

After thinking for a moment, Zhou Si said, "But even so, it doesn't explain the following questions. You have to know that they not only have enough to eat themselves, but they also raise a large number of Heron Eagle Dragons."

"Trust Alma; she should be able to tell you more."

Although they had only known each other for a short time, Lone Bird seemed to have developed some trust in the girl, and Zhou Si, lying on the bed, felt inexplicably jealous.

"Sigh, they were so wary of me back in the New World, but now they've built such a good relationship with me so quickly. Ultimately, I'm just not good enough for them..."

Hearing Zhou Si's sarcastic voice, a # symbol instantly appeared above Lone Bird's head. Doesn't he have any idea why he's on guard against you?

Even level 5 impact resistance can't stop you. If I don't keep a close eye on things, I'll get screwed over by you sooner or later.

When they first met Zhou Si, they didn't cooperate at all. When Lone Bird hunted with him, he not only had to keep a close eye on the monster's attacks, but also had to be wary of Zhou Si's movements.

Fortunately, Lone Bird had rich combat experience, and although Zhou Si was prone to letting his teammates down, he was truly capable when needed, and there were countless instances of him enduring monster attacks to save her, although most of the time he didn't need to save her.

"Monster! A monster has entered the village!"

Just as Zhou Si and Gu Niao were reminiscing about the glorious days of the New World, shouts from the villagers suddenly came from outside.

Almost immediately, Isai ran into the house. He was taken aback when he saw Zhou Si sitting there, but he didn't have time to think about it and quickly called out to the two of them.

"A monster has invaded the village! Let's take refuge together!"

Zhou Si and Gu Niao exchanged a glance, their expressions turning serious. They quickly jumped off the bed and followed Yi Sai out of the house.

The village was in complete chaos. Although a few able-bodied men were maintaining some order, the villagers of Fengyin Village had never encountered such a critical situation before, and the entire village was in turmoil.

Lone Bird has retrieved her weapon. Because she is traveling light, she is carrying a one-handed sword instead of her usual greatsword and katana.

"Isai, where is the monster?"

Zhou Si knew that the two of them wouldn't be of much use in the evacuation; they should do what they were better at.

"Is that Mr. Zhou Si, looking towards the village entrance...?"

Isai pointed in the direction they had come from, then realized that Zhou Si had just been lying in a hospital bed and was now going to stop the monster for them. His expression was a mixture of gratitude and guilt.

"Take the people from your village and evacuate. Leave the rest to me and Caged Bird."

Zhou Si didn't offer any further explanation. After leaving behind a single sentence, he and the lone bird ran towards the village entrance without looking back.

"Please come back safely..."

Isai prayed for them in a low voice, then gritted his teeth and turned to join the team maintaining order.

"Everyone, prioritize evacuating the elderly and children!"

......

Zhou Si and Lonely Bird ran all the way to the village entrance, where Alma and Tuanzi were hiding behind a rock, nervously watching the direction of the village entrance.

"Alma, what's going on?"

Seeing the unprecedented tension on Alma's face, Lone Bird asked.

"...It's a monster I've never seen before."

Zhou Si looked in the direction Alma was pointing, and his pupils instantly contracted when he saw the true forms of those monsters.

Chapter Thirty-Two: Did We Walk onto the Wrong Film Set?

"real or fake?"

Zhou Si stared blankly at the monster wreaking havoc at the village entrance, wondering if she had transmigrated again.

It was a four-legged monster whose entire body was made of some kind of metallic ore. There was no trace of flesh or blood on its body. All that could be seen were stones that shone with a metallic luster. It didn't even have a head. Instead, it had a pair of ferocious giant pincers that could easily crush rocks.

The monster's long, spiky tail instantly pierced the body of a herbivorous dragon, tearing its body apart with the ore spikes on its tail. Blood and chunks of flesh were scattered all over the ground. Alma and the lone bird behind the rocks frowned at the sight.

"Mr. Zhou Si, do you know what kind of monster that is?"

Upon seeing Zhou Si's reaction, Alma immediately asked.

"If I'm not mistaken, it should be a monster from another world. I remember its name is..."

"Fallen Star Beast".

Zhou Si frantically tried to recall the details about the monster, but it had been too long. It was already difficult for Zhou Si to recognize its true form, and he could only remember very little information in his mind.
