Chapter 72 Enormous Open-Air Pi Mine!
Half an hour later, Fang Senyan and the others stopped. To avoid being tracked by the Evil Buffalo, they deliberately waded across a river to mask their scent before choosing a campsite.
To be precise, the campsite was a cave widened by Boqan. The cave was originally only two or three meters deep, but after Boqan widened it, it became quite complex. After entering the cave, one had to walk seven or eight meters, then turn left ninety degrees and continue forward, then turn right ninety degrees again. To put it more vividly, the passage into and out of the cave formed a "zigzag" shape, followed by the cave chamber where everyone stayed.
This setup seemed redundant, but it was actually necessary. After the buffer of the passage, no light could penetrate, and no wind could blow in, yet there was no danger of stuffiness. This greatly reduced the chance of being discovered, even at night.
The two captured Evil Buffaloes were tied up like rice dumplings and thrown aside. There was no need to worry about them emitting a stench at this time, because that smell was only released when they were excited during battle.
Putting himself in the place of these two unlucky fellows, being captured alive by a foreign race and witnessing these guys brutally cutting off the organs of the corpses without even letting them go, Fang Senyan estimated that they were terrified. He doubted he could even smell the stench they emitted, even if he wanted to.
After resting briefly, Fang Senyan put on the Predator mask. This mask had many functions. Along the way, Fang Senyan had thrown it to Artificial Human No. 1 to study. At this time, the translation function had been activated. After a series of analyses of the vocal cords, Fang Senyan finally began to communicate with these two guys:
"What are your names?"
The two guys looked at each other, obviously surprised that Fang Senyan actually understood their language:
"Black Tendril, he is called Meat Beard."
"Are you hungry? Do you want to eat some grilled meat?" Fang Senyan said kindly, and cut off two pieces of greasy grilled meat and handed them over. The grilled meat was made by the artificial human using the strategy of a five-star hotel chef from the database. The fat and lean meat were moderate, the meat was grilled with oil, and cumin, star anise and other spices were sprinkled on top, which truly had a strong aroma that any carnivore would be unable to refuse.
Unexpectedly, Fang Senyan's kindness immediately made the two unlucky fellows widen their eyes, and they looked as if they were about to cry with gratitude. Then...a large amount of filth was sprayed from the depths of their throats. They vomited violently as if they had swallowed excrement.
Of course, the most excessive thing was that Fang Senyan was agile enough to dodge in time. The two streams of vomit sprayed directly onto Paul, who was happily eating grilled meat on the opposite side, covering his head and face.......
The situation suddenly fell into silence, and everyone silently watched. Paul, who was the most bewildered, was stunned. Obviously, he had not yet recovered from the contrast of falling from the paradise of enjoying delicious grilled meat to hell.
Artificial Human No. 1 coughed and said:
"Master, it seems that the Evil Buffaloes are vegetarians...why did you give them grilled meat?"
Black lines appeared on Fang Senyan's forehead. At this time, Paul jumped up as if he had been stabbed and roared frantically:
"Ahhh!! I'm going to dismember these two idiots, rape them first, then kill them, then rape them again, then kill them!"
Everyone widened their eyes at the same time, never expecting Paul to be so sturdy and have such heavy tastes. They hurriedly stopped him, and the two unlucky Evil Buffaloes also trembled in fear and begged for mercy. After this incident, Fang Senyan's questioning went much smoother.
It turned out that these two guys belonged to the largest Evil Buffalo tribe nearby, called the Black Fungus Clan. The number of people in the tribe...the Evil Buffaloes really lacked talent in numbers. Watching Meat Beard and Black Tendril first count their fingers and then their toes, and finally repeat dozens of times over and over again, it was estimated that there were at least several hundred, nearly a thousand.
As for the Beryllium mine problem that Fang Senyan and the others were most concerned about, they received good news!
The reason why the Black Fungus tribe was so prosperous and strong was mostly related to the Beryllium mine, because the leader controlled a secret place, which was said to be blessed by the gods. Once a female tribe member was pregnant, the leader would blindfold the pregnant woman and send her to the "holy land." After recuperating in the holy land, the pregnant Evil Buffaloes could not only ensure a very high safe birth rate, but also often give birth to multiple children.
Fang Senyan and the others already knew at this time that Beryllium could provide additional life recovery speed and mental strength recovery speed, which meant that the leader probably controlled a location of an open-air high-purity Beryllium mine!!
Anyone with a little common sense would know that a high-purity mine was already a huge wealth, and it was even labeled with the keyword "open-air," which was completely like a burning coal, scorching everyone and making them want to jump up alive!
The meaning of an open-air high-purity mine was that the crushing and extraction instrument that everyone brought would not lack raw materials at all. They could do whatever they wanted, extract whatever they wanted, as long as they stopped before being checked by the Predators!! At the thought of this, a strong look of greed appeared in everyone's eyes.
However, having a large reserve of open-air Beryllium mine here was not just talk. Obviously, Artificial Human No. 1 had to be brought there to obtain first-hand video data, or a group of people had to bring back enough Beryllium, which would be convincing enough!
However, there was still a huge problem standing in front of them. Obviously, time was tight, and a carpet search in such a complex terrain was definitely unrealistic, so they could only take down the damn leader and get the mine coordinates from him!
So, the prerequisite was to take down the leader of the Evil Buffaloes, but he was the leader of a large tribe of thousands of people! With the strength of Fang Senyan's team, it was no problem to deal with ten or so Evil Buffaloes, but to deal with a hundred or so, they would probably have to do their best. If there were two hundred, the only option would be to turn around and run away immediately!
When they defeated the Berserk Beast + Alien combination that day, to a large extent, Fang Senyan used the Juan Tong tree fruits and the terrain to achieve the attack effect that day. Now, facing these Evil Buffaloes who are good at digging holes and breaking rocks, although they had the information collected by the spaceship, it still seemed far from enough.
Fang Senyan then brought Meat Beard and Black Tendril over again for detailed questioning, but he still did not find any opportunity to take advantage of. Instead, he felt more and more pressure. It turned out that there were also strong people in the Evil Buffalo tribe. The Kurut ore they deducted when mining was used to offer to the higher-level tribe members.
Those stronger than ordinary Evil Buffaloes were called Evil Buffalo Raiders. The biggest feature of these guys was that they could use two pickaxes at the same time! , and their movement speed was faster.
The existence of the Evil Buffalo Raiders alone shattered everyone's kiting tactics.
Above the Evil Buffalo Raiders, there were even more powerful Evil Buffalo War Beasts. These guys took too much Kurut ore, and as a result, they went to another extreme and mutated into monsters. They completely lost their minds and became beasts. Only a few Evil Buffalo elders could communicate with them.
The Evil Buffalo elders could be understood as magic-type professions, characterized by fighting with totems in their hands.
The more he heard these messages, the more Fang Senyan felt the heavy pressure on his shoulders.
At this time, he suddenly thought of something that violated common sense, and immediately asked Meat Beard and Black Tendril:
"Since you are vegetarians and vomit when you see meat, then...why did you rush up at us so frantically? You were so excited as if you hadn't eaten for days."
Meat Beard and Black Tendril were immediately dumbfounded. After they explained, Fang Senyan understood the cause of the matter.
It turned out that the Evil Buffaloes did only eat vegetarian food. Their staple food, in addition to plants, was also a secretion called black liver mushrooms, which required a large number of rotten animal corpses to grow vigorously.
After Artificial Human No. 1 began to query the offline database, he immediately discovered that the so-called black liver was a rare carrion fungus, half a meter high, with a cap reaching two square meters. It secreted liquid from the cap by devouring flesh and blood.
The hyphae of this fungus were usually hidden under the cap. Once a creature passed by, they would spread out like the stingers of a jellyfish, covering an area of twenty square meters. The stems inserted into the shoulders of the Evil Buffaloes when they were young were made of dried fungi, so they could walk here unhindered without being swallowed by the fungi.
The Evil Buffaloes relied on the secretions on the black liver mushroom cap + Kurut ore + common Soso Tower plants for their survival. Among them, although the demand for the first two was not large, they had to be ingested, otherwise, they would die directly in a few days.
The reason why the Evil Buffaloes were so excited when they saw Fang Senyan and the others before was that the "black liver" in the tribe had not received fresh blood food for several days, so after the secretions satisfied those in power, the ordinary Evil Buffaloes did not have enough to drink, and they were in a state of semi-starvation, so they were naturally more active when they saw prey.
"Hmm..." After listening to the two guys' narration, Fang Senyan fell into deep thought. He suddenly felt that there should be a lot of potential to be tapped here. Obviously, the "black liver" was the key to the Evil Buffaloes' weakness, and the key to breaking the situation might be on this thing.
