Gerald: "I'm still alive, you're dead, thank you."
Brian: "Aren't you annoying?!"
on the screen.
The primary conditions for survival are water, shelter, and food.
[Without a doubt, water, as the source of life, is the most essential necessity, and Black Natsu understands this far better than White Natsu.]
Therefore, upon entering the forest, Natsu's first step was to find a water source.
As for those inside the shelter, we can simply build one.
Having frequented the primeval forests, Natsu naturally knew where to choose a location to build a shelter.
First, you need to avoid the territories of some powerful magical beasts. Distinguishing between these territories is quite simple.
Although they are magical beasts, their lifestyles are largely no different from those of wild animals. Therefore, they also use their scent to mark their territory.
[Similar to urine and feces, and its own odor, etc.]
Once you understand these points, things become simpler.
Dragon Slayer Magic is magic that transforms one's own body into that of a dragon.
In the biological world, the dragon is undoubtedly the creature with the most sensitive sense of smell.
Therefore, upon entering the primeval forest, Natsu skillfully began using his nose to distinguish various scents.
The wider the area affected by a scent, the stronger the monsters within that area.
Using this method of judgment, Natsu avoided almost all the territories inhabited by powerful magical beasts, eventually arriving at a small river.
Makarov: "Hiss, this Natsu is very experienced. He's encountered almost no danger along the way."
Natsu: "I didn't encounter any danger when I got to that river."
Erza: "You're different. Your success back then was purely due to luck."
Yes, luck.
When they were looking at the sky earlier, everyone noticed that Natsu from the White World was indeed incredibly lucky.
At least, it's perfect before we reach the river.
They passed through the territories of two powerful magical beasts along the way.
However, coincidentally, those two powerful magical beasts were fighting over territory.
Naturally, they had no time to pay attention to Natsu, who had trespassed into their territory.
However, things are different for Henna.
He truly relied on his own abilities to avoid the habitats of those powerful magical beasts.
Although the results are the same, the difference in process is immediately apparent.
If it happened again, then Behaz would undoubtedly be discovered and forced into a fight.
Putting aside whether you can win or not, you've already been targeted by a powerful monster the moment you entered the primeval forest. So, how are you going to spend the rest of your time?
Chapter Twenty-Three: Underwater Volcano!
[Natsu stood at the river's edge, his gaze constantly sweeping over the relatively calm water ahead.]
Perhaps because it's a flowing river, the water looks very clear, and you can clearly see the lush aquatic plants at the bottom.
"It's not safe here."
On the shore, Natsu's nose twitched, then he frowned slightly.
Even scents hidden underwater can be detected by a dragon's nose.
Therefore, within just a few seconds, Natsu sensed the danger lurking in the river.
Natsu: "You noticed it already? The crocodile hiding in the water?"
Gray: "Maybe it shouldn't be called an alligator, since whose alligator is that big?"
Makarov: "In short, although Natsu seems confident, he's not blindly arrogant; he's very vigilant."
Inside the Fairy Tail guild, Makarov was speaking when he glanced sideways at Natsu, who was picking his nose.
Finally, he covered his forehead and let out a long sigh.
"Why is there such a big difference between Natsu and others?"
he sighed.
If this Natsu is the same as the Black Natsu in the Sky Curtain, then Makarov must have been many times happier all these years.
Think carefully.
Ever since the day I found Natsu in the forest.
I have hardly ever had a good night's sleep.
When he wasn't yet proficient in magic, I worried that this guy might encounter danger.
Now that work has started, I'm worried that this guy might cause some trouble.
As they grew older, instead of becoming more worry-free, they became even worse, always getting themselves into a lot of trouble at work.
It's either destroying this or destroying that.
Inside the Magic Council, the apologies written by Makarov alone were enough to fill a storage room.
Makarov's heart bled at the thought of all this.
"Why isn't this Natsu from the underworld?"
Makarov sighed inwardly!
on the screen.
Natsu looked around for a while and finally decided to build a shelter on a flat area upstream of the river.
[After all, the location here is indeed excellent. Firstly, its elevated position allows Natsu to easily observe the surrounding area at all times.]
Secondly, the river is right next to it, perfectly solving the problem of water, an essential resource.
Finally, there's food. Since we live near a river, how could we possibly lack food?
In conclusion, there seems to be no better place nearby, and besides, it's getting dark, and there's no time left to look for a new spot.
Countless thoughts flashed through Natsu's mind, and finally, Natsu made up his mind.
However, since we've chosen to rest by the river for the night, we must first eliminate all threats within its depths.
Thinking of this, Natsu went to the riverbank again, then took off his shirt, revealing his upper body.
His upper body was covered in well-defined muscles, with clearly defined eight-pack abs. Most striking, however, were the numerous scratches and scuff marks on his body.
The marks appear to have just scabbed over and haven't fully healed, but this won't affect Natsu's actions.
On the contrary, for Natsu, these marks were more like badges of honor, proof of his contributions.
[After stretching his body and making a crackling sound.]
Natsu took a deep breath, then shut his mouth tightly.
He leaped into the river in front of him.
[Thump...]
With a splash of water, Natsu's figure completely disappeared into the sky.
Lucy: "Huh? Did he... voluntarily jump into the river?"
Makarov: "Good heavens, I was just saying he was cautious, how come he suddenly went in recklessly?"
Mavis: "He must have sensed the presence of some ferocious creatures underwater, but if he sensed them, shouldn't he have moved his position instead?"
Brian: "I remember there seemed to be a group of crocodiles living underwater, right?"
Kebra: "These aren't ordinary crocodiles; at least, I've never seen any of those species before."
Ultear: "But judging from the footage of White Naz before, we can tell that those crocodiles are not weak in combat, and are even quite strong, right?"
Gerald: "So, the best thing to do is to find a safe place to build a shelter, but I don't know what Hennaz is thinking."
Natsu: "Is it possible that the me in that world didn't notice the quantity?"
"However, since the dragon is watching over me, he shouldn't let anything happen to me in that world."
While everyone was talking and speculating.
The calm surface of the river seemed to begin to ripple.
It's like a leaf falling into water, creating ripples.
The image on the screen focused on the water surface.
Only then could everyone clearly see the dense, numerous ripples in the water.
Countless tiny bubbles even rose from the bottom of the water.
