Chapter 95 The Lion Who Can Speak
Hyenas' true home ground is always at night; they can't exert any advantage during the day.
During the daytime standoff and reconnaissance missions, the hyena leader, Slit Mouth, suffered two major losses, all because he chose the wrong battlefield.
It insisted on going head-to-head in a daytime environment that didn't belong to it, and failure was inevitable.
However, once the battlefield switches to nighttime, the situation will be completely reversed, and the results will be incomparable.
Chen Fei went over the matter in his mind repeatedly, without feeling any anxiety. He simply marked the potential problem and kept it quietly in his heart.
He has an absurd number of cards up his sleeve right now, so there's no need to panic.
It has top-notch night vision capabilities, making it as easy to see in the dark as it is during the day.
The scent camouflage is perfectly executed, completely masking the lion's strong body odor and preventing it from being targeted by predators.
His sound simulation skills are superb, capable of replicating the movements of most wild animals on the grassland.
The area to the northeast was firmly guarded by Wandering Armor, the west side was monitored and guarded by Meimei, and the northern edge was guarded by Datou. The defensive layout of the entire settlement was airtight, and the defense range covered all key areas.
On the other hand, the opponent, Split Mouth, had gathered a full fifty hyenas under his command, a force that far outnumbered his opponents.
Nighttime is a natural buff period for hyenas, with their overall scent concentration doubling and skyrocketing; darkness is their best camouflage.
The most troublesome thing is the slit-mouthed hyena itself. This hyena is frighteningly intelligent and can constantly learn and evolve. It knows how to summarize the experience of failure and becomes more and more difficult to deal with the longer it lasts. It is not the kind of stupid thing that just charges blindly.
Both sides' strengths and trump cards are laid bare. Neither side possesses an invincible advantage; each has its strengths and weaknesses.
There was no one-sided domination; it was all a clash of hard power.
The real danger of open-world battles lies in the interplay and tug-of-war between players using their own real resources, where every step must be taken with utmost care.
Chen Fei had just finished simulating the ninth animal cry and calmed down to review all the skill parameters he had prepared that night.
He quickly completed the classification and labeling. There were four parameters that still needed to be optimized and adjusted. Three skill indicators had fully met the qualification standards. There were still two items that required the collection of more field samples before they could be further upgraded and improved.
That's enough, that's perfectly sufficient.
The energy points have increased by another fifteen.
This income comes easily: a stable nighttime meal and a long period of rest will result in a fixed basic energy balance.
In addition, the continuous testing of various sounds throughout the night and the repeated refinement of the sound simulation details have steadily improved my skill level, which has also brought an extra bonus, adding exactly fifteen points to my total.
With 1,015 points of energy in hand, my sense of security is instantly maximized.
The sound simulation skills have now been fully developed and stabilized, and the initial database of exclusive grassland calls has been successfully completed.
There are still four key parameters that need fine-tuning and polishing. Overall, it is not perfect, but it is more than enough for camouflage, deterrence, avoidance, and deception of the enemy in the harsh grassland survival environment.
Living on this grassland where the strong prey on the weak, there is never a need to pursue 100% perfection.
Ultimate perfection is meaningless. What is truly useful is simply something that can withstand pressure and prove useful at critical junctures.
This is a realistic truth that Chen Fei learned through countless trials and tribulations after transmigrating into the body of a lion—simple yet cruel.
He remained quietly lying deep in the low grass, using all his senses to carefully scan the entire wasteland to the south for any fluctuations in atmosphere.
The stench of the hyenas from the Split-Mouth pack still lingered firmly in the southern region. Their intensified, chilling aura, under the cover of darkness, held them firmly south of the raised terrain line, remaining motionless and showing no sign of reckless advance.
The hyena pack was well-behaved tonight, neither advancing an inch into their territory nor launching any small-scale probing attacks.
But being well-behaved is only a temporary illusion.
Choosing to remain patient and observe tonight does not mean we won't quietly test the boundaries tomorrow, nor does it mean we won't launch a full-scale invasion the day after tomorrow.
The hyena leader, with his incredibly cunning and shrewd patience, was waiting for Chen Fei to reveal a weakness from the very beginning.
If Chen Fei makes even the slightest mistake or reveals the slightest weakness, this pack of vicious hyenas will instantly swarm forward, tearing and attacking with all their might.
If they don't find an opportunity to strike tonight, they'll wait until tomorrow night, day after day, until they finally find a chance.
Two kilometers away from their lodgings was Marcus's temporary wilderness camp.
Under the deep darkness of night, the entire camp was quiet, without a sound.
Chen Fei had long since figured out the fixed patterns of the human camp. The satellite communication equipment placed in the camp would start a fixed routine communication once every night at 10 pm.
During the day, when he lay in ambush near the sandbar, he repeatedly and clearly captured the unique radio frequency emitted by the equipment during operation. He had long since memorized that special radio noise.
That unique radio frequency had long been fully recorded into his sound simulation database.
However, this project has not yet undergone any practical testing and is categorized as a project that requires continuous sample accumulation.
Marcus has been alone in this wilderness camp for several days, holding high-end equipment such as a satellite phone and a high-definition thermal imaging detector.
The daily routine communication tasks are unwavering, and there's only a final execution window left, which adds up to about seven days.
Seven days is neither too long nor too short; it's just enough time for him to secretly plot something big and devise a secret plan that belongs only to him.
Chen Fei briefly went through the general framework of the plan in his mind, but stopped halfway through.
He clearly realized that the complexity of the matter far exceeded his initial expectations.
The biggest challenge lies in the limitations of his skills. He can indeed perfectly simulate the chaotic bands of radio waves, but simple noise has no practical meaning; it's just a bunch of illogical noise.
To truly capture the essence of Marcus, who is alone, simply imitating noise is insufficient; complete sound information and effective semantics are essential.
He is currently missing a crucial information delivery method, but he already knows exactly where that method comes from.
Ultimately, the problem stems from a severe lack of collected samples of human language. Marcus himself is aloof and cold, rarely speaking during his time guarding the camp alone, at most occasionally muttering a few words to himself, resulting in a pitifully small amount of information.
Meanwhile, Ella and Caller, two chatterboxes, along with the busy Maurice, all went to London with the team on business.
The three humans who usually loved to chat, complain, and grumble all left this grassland, directly cutting off his main source of language samples.
There's no rushing it; we can only wait patiently.
Once this group finishes their business and returns, the endless stream of human conversations, casual chats, arguments, and complaints will become excellent material for gathering.
At that time, the blank human language section will be completely filled, and the entire layout plan for human camps can be officially put on the implementation schedule.
the most important is.
He, a lion, can finally speak human language!
