The satyr’s footsteps staggered several times.

Hiding your tracks, stepping on pebbles or walking on fallen leaves that make noise.

Then, I went out to an open field where there were no footprints.

“···It might be a trap.”

“I think so too.”

If the trees are tall, small plants cannot grow, and if the trees are low, small plants can grow.

In that respect, the best place to erase footprints is an open area.

However, in the case of open areas, it is easy to be detected by the other person because it is open.

Therefore, soldiers do not really enjoy going out into the open.

This also applies to subhumans living in the wild.

I climbed a tree and looked at the open space around me.

What stands out the most is the various animal paths.

─And a tripwire installed on the animal path.

It was a string made by skillfully weaving reed stems, etc.

‘That’s clever.’

Humans see with vision and perceive objects with other senses.

However, when animals perceive the world, they perceive objects with their sense of smell and examine them with their eyesight.

In other words, it was a trap aimed at me.

In the end, he didn’t trust me.

Even the pretense of reaching an agreement is probably just an excuse to get what you want.

It was a very wise choice.

‘But I’ve met too many people like that.’

He’s determined to hunt me down.

He must be waiting for me somewhere.

I leisurely looked around.

Lexi and Isabel also climbed a tree and looked around.

Just for a moment.

I stole their attention with a hand signal and pointed into the open bushes.

He was down on all fours, lying on the ground, listening.

‘Are you looking for the sound of footsteps?’

It seems that he paid particular attention to the shipyard director.

Now I had to decide.

I am an exception to the prophet who sees the future, and he will continue to search for traces of me.

Therefore, the most ideal way is to obtain the necessary information and kill them.

‘Should I do that?’

Any ordinary person would do so without hesitation.

But I look straight at the object of my hatred.

The guy was strange, but he wasn’t someone to hate.

The moment I was thinking so much.

Rustling─

The sound of grass crashing steals my attention.

Pretend to be popular that is not natural. The satyr seems to have noticed that too.

What stole our attention was none other than a bird.

A bird walking on the ground.

After realizing what it was, I burst out laughing.

‘If something like that exists, all demi-humans would become psychopaths.’

I thought it was a bird.

But it was not a bird, but an ancestor of birds.

It was a theropod dinosaur that you only see in movies.

Sharp teeth and huge jaws like those of a crocodile.

The body had a lot of feathers, but they were not used for flight.

The feathers emit a brilliant light as if warning them that they are very poisonous.

The plumage was similar to that of an ostrich or kiwi bird.

It’s difficult to recognize exactly what that is.

The eyes scanning the surroundings with the characteristic snapping movements of birds were those of a typical predator.

‘···Why on earth are dinosaurs here?’

However, unlike dinosaurs, it did not have a tail.

Moreover, the wings are short.

Everyone looked at the creature in confusion at the appearance of a creature they had never seen before.

The taller an animal’s head, the more likely it is to lose its olfactory receptors.

Therefore, bipedal humans, birds, and high-headed giraffes have a poor sense of smell.

This must be the same for him too.

The satyr who discovered him was frightened and began to run away.

However, animals with high heads generally have excellent hearing and vision.

Caw!

It started chasing the satyr, croaking like a crow.

“Didn’t Callisto tame all the carnivores?”

“I guess not.”

A characteristic feature of theropod dinosaurs is their large heads.

It also had a big head.

The satyr climbed the tree as quickly as a monkey.

The dinosaur, which narrowly missed its food, looked up at the satyr and cried like a crow.

“···What are you going to do?”

“I need to save it.”

“What if that beast is a member of Callisto’s family?”

“If you weren’t crazy, would you force animals to eat people?”

That may be so.

Because less civilized subhumans are no different from primitive humans.

They must not be very welcome in the human world.

‘No way, civilized people would follow eugenics.’

It was a denial that came from the hope that that wasn’t the case.

“Sister, do you remember hunting jumping spiders back in the day?”

When Juul and Hae-su were hunting, we once encountered a large spider.

Jumping like a grasshopper and attacking people!

It was very simple to deal with such a monster.

Not standing in the front.

If you dodge to the side while looking at it, it’s over.

Jules looked at me with anxious eyes.

“That’s not a spider.”

“No difference.”

That vicious beak and skull would be the best hunting tools.

“I will sing the song.”

“No. I will do it.”

Lexi holds her spear.

This was because its appearance resembled a cockatrice.

“Shii, that’s not a cockatrice or anything. It’s much easier.”

“···Easy? And it’s not a cockatrice? Do you even know what that is?”

“Yes. Don’t just stand in front, keep moving.”

He broke a straight tree branch, broke it, and tied a dagger to it.

Its huge snout and sharp teeth are clearly menacing.

But if the opponent’s weapon is too big, it’s just ridiculous.

‘Go for it.’

The weaknesses of large-headed animals remain the same.

It is weak in one-to-many confrontations.

“Ha, he said he would do it first, so let’s leave it to him.”

“What? Do you know what that is?!”

“It’s best to leave seawater hunting to someone you know.”

Juul also comes down from the tree.

Afterwards, Lexi came down as well.

The shipyard manager was looking at a dinosaur crying like a crow from afar.

“I will kick him out.”

“If that’s the case, wouldn’t it be better for me to go?”

“No. We are enough.”

That guy will run away as soon as the shipyard superintendent shows up.

‘That’s your meal.’

I walked up to him, pretending to be popular.

Because of his excellent hearing, he turns his head and looks at me.

Just for a moment.

“Get ready.”

The guy is running towards me.

I also ran towards him.

I had no intention of stabbing him in the first place.

All I can do is lower my posture and avoid its jaws.

‘If I just bend down, the load on my neck will be heavier than my body weight.’

It is said that when a person bends his head to 60 degrees, about five times more load than usual is concentrated on the neck.

What about creatures with long necks and large heads?

What if it’s running?

─The moment you lower your head, you fall forward.

Moreover, unlike dinosaurs, it did not even have a tail.

If you bend your hips or knees while running, you will fall unless you run faster.

Moreover, animals in solid bodies never welcome falling.

‘Because if you hurt your leg, you’ll die.’

When you see that guy right in front of you.

I lowered my posture as if I was crawling on all fours and snuggled into his side.

Perfect!

The sound of teeth clicking together can be heard overhead.

They couldn’t catch me because my height had dropped drastically.

Fluttering!

Plus, I ended up rolling around because I was overexerting myself.

“True.”

Why are there all these creatures?

The guy stood up as if he was fine, but there was enough of an opening to throw a spear.

Sigh!

Caw!

That’s it.

The spear got stuck in his leg and he fell.

Lexi and Jules rushed in and immediately cut off the man’s life as he tried to stand up.

Theropod dinosaurs gave up everything to stand on their own two feet.

Head, paws, tail… But it hasn’t thrown away its head yet.

‘Well, then I have to die.’

When I watched the movie, I thought the old creatures were majestic and cool.

But in reality, it is just full of flaws.

If dinosaurs had intelligence, they would have snorted and cursed dinosaur movies.

‘If I do that, the disc will explode.’

The eyes of the man who was stabbed in the heart slowly close.

Dimly, like a chick crossing a rainbow bridge.

“···It’s not a big deal, right?”

“What on earth happened?”

Neither of them seemed to understand what that ridiculous creature was saying.

Lexi, in particular, seemed shocked.

This is a man who has tamed a southern cockatrice.

“A long time ago, it was an animal that lived in hell.”

Dinosaurs of old were as helpless as crocodiles out of water.

I tore open the stomach of a man who had died from the blows of two humane people.

It hasn’t been long since he died, but it was to calm my sinister mind.

First, I felt for the intestines, pressed them hard, and then pushed them out as if squeezing them.

Food ─

The sound of excrement exploding is not very welcome.

“···What are you doing?”

“I want to find out if Callisto is really crazy.”

Jules smiled and sat down next to me.

And then he raises his hand.

“Are you ‘finding your nails’?”

“Yes.”

When a carnivore finishes hunting, it eats as much meat as possible.

There is no picky eating.

They eat all parts equally.

However, animals cannot properly digest keratin.

Or even if you digest it, just one.

The nails remain.

Jules frowns and smiles.

Still, he trembled and squeezed out the contents from the guy’s stomach.

“···I never thought I would do this again.”

“You have to see it first and then judge.”

We often took on this kind of dirty work.

To distinguish whether Hae-soo was cannibalistic or not.

The satyr was looking at us from the tree with great interest.

He only wants to know what he wants from me.

‘You’ll want to know.’

How to kill the animals that eat you.

How much was the stool stirred with a wooden stick?

Tuk-

A small hoof was revealed after hitting a wooden stick.

‘It’s the hoof of a satyr’s hand.’

“It’s true that he was cannibalized.”

“This one came out too. ···And would you like to see this?”

The contents that Juul squeezed out of the vesicle and vomited out were full of bone.

Because animals eat bones when they are hungry.

“That’s a horn, right?”

“Yes.”

However, horns are generally not eaten.

If you eat it, you will either vomit it out or die from intestinal obstruction even if you eat it.

I sat down comfortably on my butt.

It’s so absurd that I burst out laughing.

“···Diana’s representative has become a Nazi.”

“Nazis?”

“It’s nothing. Shipbuilding director!”

The shipyard superintendent approaches.

He couldn’t take his eyes off this piece of meat.

“Do you like eating raw food?”

“Do not be a picky eater.”

“You can eat the whole thing, leaving only one leg.”

“Thank you.”

The shipyard manager started to rip him off.

I looked at the satyr on the tree next to the shipyard manager.

“I’ll teach you how to hunt him.”

“······.”

“We have questions for each other.”

He looks at me intently.

It was clear that he was thinking differently.

“If you lie to my question again, then I will kill and eat you.”

The guy trembles at the death threat.

But even for a moment.

“···What are you curious about?”

“Tell me where the Cambions’ village is.”
