Chapter 22 Kulut Minerals

The Kulut minerals were stored in a cave. The cave was long and narrow, small at the entrance and large inside. From the outside, one could see that the Kulut minerals were stored in quantities measured in "tons," glittering like a sand mountain composed of dark gemstones.

However, two dire buffalo war beasts were lying prone at the entrance of the cave! Perhaps there had been previous instances of ordinary tribesmen stealing Kulut minerals, so these strange and powerful beasts were extremely vigilant and showed no signs of resting, giving Ronnie no opportunity to take advantage of!

Upon seeing this scene, Fang Senyan immediately narrowed his eyes. As the black guy would say behind his back, he was brewing up some bad ideas.

Next, Fang Senyan pondered for a moment and immediately had Ronnie return. He beckoned to Bokan, and after a few words of discussion, Bokan couldn't help but reveal a look of surprise on his face. He then carefully observed the surrounding terrain and finally nodded seriously.

It should be mentioned that Fang Senyan and the others were able to successfully sneak into the vicinity of the dire buffalo people's core valley because the recipe provided by the previous indigenous humans to conceal their aura played a significant role. However, this recipe now seemed to have been optimized by the descending spacecraft's optical brain, so the credit couldn't be given to those guys.

After a new round of discussions, Fang Senyan and his group split up again and snuck into the darkness. Ten minutes or so later, the dire buffalo war beasts lying prone at the entrance of the cave suddenly stood up, sniffing nervously. Then they rushed into the cave, but after a while, they slowly walked out again, shaking their heads and snorting from time to time.

Judging from their appearance, they seemed to have clearly heard some bad information, but after checking, they found nothing and must have thought they were seeing things or hearing noises.

About twenty minutes later, Bokan returned, looking very tired, panting non-stop, and his face was very pale. He looked like a chairman who had just had a happy time with his secretary and then been ruthlessly squeezed by a resentful wife at home, demanding more, almost in a state of exhaustion. His fusion with the Stone Blade Lazel also greatly increased his power, but he was still exhausted, indicating that he had consumed a lot of his supernatural power just now.

Fang Senyan also let out a soft breath at this time. Before coming, he had not expected that the camp would store so many Kulut minerals, so he temporarily changed his plan. Now that the first part of the mission had been perfectly achieved, the next thing to do was naturally to aim at the "Black Liver."

It could be clearly seen that there were very few guards around the "Black Liver," probably only four or five dire buffalo people, curled up on the ground, covering their heads with animal skins and sleeping soundly. When Ronnie saw these guys in this state, he immediately felt a lot more relaxed. After greeting them, he quietly disappeared into the darkness again.

Logically speaking, this shouldn't be too difficult a task. However, after five minutes, suddenly, the sentries didn't move, but a huge "Black Liver" suddenly trembled violently, spilling a large number of spores. They immediately floated towards the darkness nearby. The spores had a clear fluorescent glow and all stuck to Ronnie's body, immediately exposing him completely!

"Not good!" Fang Senyan immediately realized that he had made a big mistake, that he had regarded the "Kulut Ore" and this "Dark Liver" as the same thing, even though the latter was a plant and not a mineral! But habitual thinking killed people, feeling that plants were submissive and harmless!

And when Fang Senyan made this decision, he also forgot about the Stairway to the Sun in his body, which was a typical perverted plant!

In fact, from a deeper perspective, there was an even bigger flaw: that was that the "Dark Liver" and the "Kulut Ore" occupied the same important position in the dire buffalo tribe, so why should the former be stored in a secret room, guarded by powerful dire buffalo beasts, and the latter by a few lazy, stupid guards?

The reason was that the "Dark Liver" didn't need any protection at all. It had quite a powerful force of its own!!!

This time it was really Fang Senyan who made a mistake. As the old saying goes, even the wisest of people can make a mistake, so he immediately had to think about making up for this mistake! He immediately said to Bokan:

"Immediately follow the original plan and prepare to launch the first step of the trap immediately!"

Then Fang Senyan stood up at this time and strode towards Ronnie. As an MT, he must not disregard the safety of his comrades in trouble. Whether it was to show others or because of his own principles, unless it was absolutely necessary, an MT abandoning his companions would definitely lead to a loss of prestige.

Ronnie, who was infected with the "Dark Liver" spores, looked very painful. Not only that, but several thin, white hyphae shot out from the ground below, reaching straight for his nostrils and lower body. The hyphae were different from the tentacles of the Stairway to the Sun. The tentacles of the Stairway to the Sun reminded people of octopus limbs, while these hyphae directly reminded people of those disgusting, twisted horsehair worms!

However, at this moment, Ronnie's whole person suddenly became blurred for a moment, and in that instant, a full seven Ronnies were scattered around an area of more than ten square meters. The spores originally attached to him suddenly lost their target and shook and scattered again.

Shadow clone!

One of the seven Ronnies quietly disappeared into the darkness, but Fang Senyan noticed that the Ronnie closest to the "Black Liver" was holding something dark, which was the left hand of a Predator, and then this Ronnie rushed towards the "Black Liver" and was instantly pierced by the hyphae flying in the air, dissipating into a phantom.

Before the Predator's left hand could land, it was also entangled by the hyphae. After being stabbed and "identified," it was determined to be organic matter, so it was unceremoniously slapped onto its own pileus, seemingly to accelerate ripening and decay, and specially turned the corpse below and covered it on top... Lack of culture is terrible.

"Beautiful!" Fang Senyan, who was rushing down, couldn't help but praise. He didn't know if he was praising Ronnie or the formidable "Black Liver." At this time, the valley had obviously been alarmed. A large number of dire buffalo people poured out of the many huts like a tide, shouting loudly, almost filling most of the valley in an instant.

Fang Senyan only made one move at this time, because he saw Ronnie making the same move, leaping behind a nearby stone! Although there were no stones next to Fang Senyan, there was a big tree!!

Just as Fang Senyan landed behind the big tree and curled up his body, an extremely dazzling flash of light burst out from the collection of "Black Livers." Next, a large group of bright white, semi-circular, high-energy shockwaves spread rapidly in all directions. When they reached a diameter of more than twenty meters, they suddenly exploded!

A small mushroom cloud rose up. The large area of more than twenty "Black Liver" giant fungi encountered a catastrophe. Terrible photothermal radiation, shock waves, and induced radioactivity caused terrifying killing effects. The giant fungi close to the epicenter of the explosion were instantly charred by the amazing high temperature, and the remaining ones were either torn apart by the shock wave or scorched by the light radiation.

Only two or three "Black Livers" on the edge survived by relying on their tenacious vitality, making extremely shrill cries. Hearing them almost made one feel like they were in a ghost realm.

The dire buffalo people also let out large swaths of screams. When the explosion occurred, they foolishly turned their heads to look, so their eyes were almost all burned by the strong light in that instant. Because the dire buffalo people were good at digging rocks underground, their eyes had extremely high light sensitivity, which caused some weak guys to even make terrifying screams of pain, and their eyes exploded directly.

At this time, Fang Senyan suddenly felt a throbbing from the Stairway to the Sun. It instinctively wanted to have a close encounter with the "Black Liver." Fang Senyan looked at the chaotic situation in the field and still rushed over decisively. Fortunately, most of the flesh and blood corpses had been gasified by the high heat at this time, otherwise, Fang Senyan's biggest enemy would have been the terrifying stench.

A "Black Liver" with most of its pileus blown away by the shock wave was shaking madly, secreting a large amount of liquid to try to block the wound. At this time, Fang Senyan had already rushed to the front.

This Black Liver immediately released a small number of spores, wrapping Fang Senyan tightly, and then more than a dozen white hyphae simultaneously pierced into Fang Senyan's body! The Stairway to the Sun in Fang Senyan's body remained silent until the hyphae directly entered his body, then it launched a fierce counterattack! Not only did it instantly devour the hyphae like a hot knife through butter, but it also counter-attacked into the interior of the "Black Liver" along the hyphae, actually causing the plant to wither and turn to ashes in an instant!

After the Stairway to the Sun succeeded with one blow, it fully contracted and curled up behind Fang Senyan's sternum, seeming to have gained some benefits and begun to evolve.

The others were fine with this scene, but only D'Artagnan, who had a deep understanding of plants, suddenly widened his eyes. He deeply understood what this meant!! And he suddenly understood that the extremely terrifying force that he vaguely felt in Fang Senyan's body was definitely not some damned illusion!
