"Unscientific."

"Speaking science in another world!"

As the two were standing there, the seagull suddenly struggled violently, its wings flapping wildly, and its third eye suddenly emitted a strong golden light.

Michiru was so startled she almost jumped: "It really does glow!"

Kato Megumi pulled Michiru behind her while simultaneously raising her bamboo spear in defense.

But the seagull did not attack; it only struggled incessantly, its sharp beak wide open, emitting a low, rapid cry.

"Are you scared?" Michiru peeked out.

Kato Megumi looked in the direction the seagull was struggling.

They were trying to get away from the cave and away from the camp.

More precisely, away from the direction of the stream.

“East,” Kato Megumi said softly.

"?"

"Being afraid of things to the east."

Michiru followed the gaze and looked towards the depths of the forest to the east, an area she had not explored before.

"Is it to the east?" Michiru asked.

Kato Megumi shook her head: "I don't know."

The seagull's struggle gradually weakened, and its golden third eye slowly dimmed, returning to its previous state.

He lay on the ground, his chest heaving violently, as if he had just struggled and exhausted all his strength.

Michiru crouched down to look at it, then looked at Kato Megumi, and suddenly revealed a meaningful smile.

"benefit."

"Ok?"

"exist?"

Kato Megumi's gaze lingered on the forest to the east.

He didn't answer immediately, but after several seconds he spoke softly: "It's on... an island."

Michi stood there, brushed the grass clippings off her clothes, and put her hands on her hips.

"That's not simple!"

Kato Megumi turned her head to look.

"I'm exploring it slowly!"

Michiru's smile was radiant.

"With this here, we can catch three-eyed seagulls, four-eyed dinosaurs, and five-eyed goblins one by one!"

"A goblin with five eyes?"

"Huh? How many eyes do goblins have?"

"Two."

Michiru scratched her head: "Whatever, with Megumi around, I'm not afraid!"

Kato Megumi glanced at it, said nothing, and turned to walk towards the cave.

Where did Hui go?

"Deal with the seagulls."

"Deal with? Kill them?"

"Do not."

Kato Megumi took an empty bamboo tube out of the cave.

"Close, observe."

Michiru followed up: "Observe?"

"The third eye."

Kato Megumi put the seagull into the bamboo basket and sealed it with rattan.

"If its eyes can sense heat, or have such a function, it would be useful to me."

"for example?"

"For example, it can give an early warning if something is approaching at night."

Michiru's eyes lit up: "Like a sentry?"

"Ah."

"That's a good feeling!"

Michiru excitedly patted the bamboo, and the seagull on the other side made a disgruntled cooing sound.

"From now on, give my sentinel a name."

"Three-eyed guy?"

"It doesn't sound nice... How about Little Gold? Because its eyes are golden!"

Kato Megumi ignored it and fixed the bamboo tube in the corner of the cave, away from where she was sleeping.

Michi stayed to the side, amusing herself as she continued naming things: "Three-Eyed Bird? No way, that's too childish!"

"By the way, Hui, is this male seagull female?"

"do not know."

"Then how should I judge?"

No need to judge.

"What if it's the female, and then she lays eggs?"

Kato Megumi stopped what she was doing and turned to look at Michiru.

Her expression remained calm as always, but there was a hint of helplessness in her eyes.

"Michiru."

"Ok?"

"The bird eggs weren't finished being sorted today."

Michiru immediately responded, "Ah...yes, there are twenty bird eggs."

He squatted down beside the wicker basket and began wiping the bird eggs one by one, humming a tuneless little tune.

"This guy..."

Kato Megumi watched the retreating figure, let out a soft sigh, and continued working on the rattan in her hands.

Chapter 346: Green Mountain's Second Evolution of Life!

At dusk in Crescent Bay, the campfire blazes brightly.

Green Mountain feeds on the mutated creatures it hunts, sensing the ever-increasing source of life.

"This serpentine fish is today's biggest find."

After finishing the last bite, Qingshan clapped his hands and looked at the virtual panel.

[Eat and Transform: Basilisk Fish (Mutant Creature)]

[Life Source Absorbed: 30%]

[Life Source Reserve: 185%/200%]

[Reserves sufficient for the current stage of evolution: 200%]

"arrive."

Aoyama's lips curled slightly, and he could feel a burning, warm current surging deep within his body.

Yukinoshita Kiyomi noticed something strange.

As she squatted by the campfire processing fish, she looked up after hearing Qingshan's words, a hint of surprise flashing in her gentle eyes.

"Aoyama-kun? Your face is red?"

"It feels... a bit hot."

As Qingshan moved his shoulders, a faint golden glow began to emanate from his skin.

"hot?"

Saeko Busujima put down her hunting knife, her purple eyes narrowing slightly.

"Aoyama-kun, could it be that..."

Before he could finish speaking, the golden aura around Qingshan suddenly became brighter.

"Om-!"

A surge of immense life energy erupted from within him, sweeping across the entire beach like an invisible storm.

The campfire blazed fiercely, sending sand and dust flying.

Everyone's hair was blown backward by the gust of air.

"...!"

Eri Kisaki suddenly stood up, her long brown hair flying in the wind, and subconsciously raised her hand to block her eyes.

"The second...evolution!"

An expression of disbelief appeared on Yukino's cool face, and her calm eyes widened slightly.

Shawu stood by the fire, her light blue eyes wide open.

Her long, silvery-white hair was disheveled by the wind, her small mouth was slightly open, and she was completely stunned.

"Brother Qingshan has evolved again?!"

"It's only been a few dozen days since the last time..."

Eriri's golden twin tails swayed violently in the wind, her azure eyes filled with shock.

"It's evolved again so quickly?"

Qingshan stood in the middle, the golden light growing brighter and brighter, enveloping his entire body.

His bones made a faint cracking sound as his muscle fibers rapidly split and reorganized.

The skin surface becomes smoother and tougher at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Um…"

Qingshan let out a low groan and clenched his fists.

"This feeling is even stronger than last time!"

Every blood vessel is dilating, every muscle is being remodeled, and the internal organs are undergoing deeper strengthening.

The ability to see everything suddenly surged.

All living things, terrain, water flow, and air flow within a radius of one kilometer flooded into my mind.

The spider's ability to sense silk has also increased to a terrifying level.

It can even sense the faint vibrations produced when ants crawl under the sand.

"Boom—!"

A burst of golden light erupted, creating a visible shockwave.

The campfire was instantly extinguished by the wind, the windows of the cabin rattled, and the dried fish hanging under the corridor were blown into the air.

"Absolutely outrageous!"

Everyone instinctively took a step back and covered their eyes with their arms.
