Chapter 28 Canyon Journey
"What about us? Is there a problem with us attacking the unicorn flying ants? Are these unicorn flying ants your relatives that we can't touch?"
Paul was now emitting an incredibly fierce aura! Fang Senyan had even seen this kind of aura on Zi before, which showed that Paul's hidden strength was by no means simple.
Ardaruis continued Paul's words lazily:
"After hearing the news of the deaths of two companions last night, we were very sad and indignant. We were so heartbroken that we couldn't even sleep. So we agreed to run out at all costs to avenge them, because this matter was too dangerous, so we decided that the three of us would bear this danger alone. Now, we have successfully avenged them, are you not happy at all?"
If Paul's words had some aggressive edge, Ardaruis' words were more like a pungent sarcasm that left people speechless!
However, Fang Senyan did not add fuel to the fire at this time. Instead, he said in a timely manner:
"It was thanks to yesterday's fierce battle that the number of these damned unicorn flying ants was greatly reduced. Otherwise, we really wouldn't be able to kill the remaining male ants plus the ant queen."
As soon as Fang Senyan said this, he immediately led the remaining team members to pay attention to the ant queen. Even Aziza couldn't help but say in surprise:
"You can actually kill the ant queen?"
Fang Senyan smiled and said:
"Just a fluke. The corpse is over there."
Undoubtedly, such an answer immediately made the rest of the team members feel awe-inspiring. Their evaluation of Fang Senyan's combat ability was immediately raised by a notch. They thought that they really had the capital to be arrogant.
Then Fang Senyan noticed that the expressions of these temporary companions who came were also a little tired. They were injured, so he immediately guessed one thing and smiled slightly. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Paul arguing with Ronnie again:
"You said we took advantage of the situation? That we have no team concept. Very good! May I ask, when you sneaked out last night, where was the team concept? Did you think your actions were very secretive? You wanted to take advantage of the heavy losses of the unicorn flying ants, and the vacuum period when the powerful foreign creatures had not yet arrived, to hunt well on the plain. Did you think of us at that time?"
It can be seen from the chicken snake beast that Fang Senyan hunted before that even low-level creatures on the Upros planet may have considerable value. For example, the chicken snake beast is not a powerful creature, but its petrification ability is quite rare, so its spoils are also rising.
Last night, both sides had their own plans. They seemed to be sleeping peacefully in the camp, but they secretly ran out. It's just that one side was frightened by the unicorn flying ants, so they could only choose to attack those relatively weak creature groups, while the other side adopted a reverse thinking method and faced the difficulties head-on. Because they believed that the enemy had become a paper tiger...
However, the goddess of luck also favored both sides at the same time, so it seems that both sides have gained quite a bit. However, there is no doubt that for the two MTs, after they returned triumphantly this morning, they originally wanted to use the fruitful results to establish their prestige in the team and completely show "follow me and you'll get the goodies." However, they found that the opposing party who sang against them was also not in the camp, and it was estimated that they had also gone out hunting.
Undoubtedly, at this moment, the disappointment in their hearts was almost tangible, and even some people who wanted to show off would feel as uncomfortable as if they had eaten a fly.
When these people saw the corpse of the ant queen, and of course the benite ore being purified, that complex mood was instantly sublimated strongly. The feeling of wanting to show off their wealth but finding that others' hair was thicker than their own thighs was simply like slapping themselves hard in the face.
Of course, the MTs were jealous and angry, while the neutral guys in the D'Artagnan group who chose to follow the MT faction were full of annoyance, because they couldn't help but think: "If I had shown goodwill to these people last night, would I also have a share of the benite ore being refined at this time?"
Undoubtedly, after being hit by this incident, the prestige of the MT side was weakened again, but just when both sides fell into an awkward silence, Fang Senyan, who realized the danger of this world, took the initiative to show his goodwill:
"Actually, we also found a medium benite ore vein, deep in the ant nest. If it is convenient, you'd better record it, then after returning, it should be able to increase the evaluation."
Fang Senyan's show of goodwill undoubtedly buffered the current awkward atmosphere. After all, the ore vein was hidden more than ten kilometers underground. No one would know if Fang Senyan didn't say it, so the other contractors also had to appreciate his kindness. For Fang Senyan, being able to use this kind of beneficial and inexpensive thing to ease the tense atmosphere can also make this temporary team gain a little cohesion.
At least on one point, Fang Senyan and the two MTs had the same goal, that is, before reaching their own goals, this team could not be disbanded. In order to achieve this goal, the disbandment of the team could be used as a threat at certain times.
This situation sounds strange and even awkward, but it is truly a portrayal of Fang Senyan's current situation.
After nearly three hours, a full eight pieces of benite ore were finally extracted. The benite element extracted was only about the size of a finger, and it appeared gray in the sun, but it showed gold in the dark.
If you watch it carefully in the palm of your hand, you may even feel that it is like fine sand floating in the air, and it seems that a breath can blow it away. It exists between solid and gaseous states, but when you pinch it with your fingers, the hard and reliable feeling that comes from your skin clearly tells you that it is a hard metal.
No one can give an answer to such a strange phenomenon that is completely different in vision and touch, but it also directly leads to the inability to find a fake of the benite element. Perhaps this is why it is so valuable.
Since Fang Senyan and the three had pointed out the ore vein and released their kindness, they also proved their strength, so the rest of the people also respected them a lot.
Taking advantage of the waiting period for refining the ore, those unwilling guys turned the ant nest upside down again. They even went to the collapsed place of Mushroom Rock and searched the collapsed nests of the worker ants. In the end, Aziza was surprised to find a piece of benite ore with a content of 3%, probably a collection of a certain worker ant.
After confirming that there was no more profit here, Fang Senyan began to suggest leaving here as soon as possible, because soon those powerful creatures would realize that this has actually become a vacuum area, and the deterrent force that had previously occupied here has disappeared. So if you don't leave quickly, then they may face multiple terrifying creatures, and the power of these terrifying creatures should almost be on the same level as the entire unicorn flying ant group...
Undoubtedly, this should also include the guy who can tear apart the ferocious wolverine alive. At the thought of this, even Ronnie, who likes to sing against him the most, turned pale and supported Fang Senyan's proposal.
A group of people began to walk to the west of Mushroom Rock. There was a deep canyon there, and a long river flowed through the canyon. Fang Senyan's proposal was to enter the canyon and go downstream. Undoubtedly, this can greatly save the time spent on the road and save many unnecessary experiences. More importantly, canyons are often rich in minerals, and there is a higher chance of finding benite ore. Fang Senyan and his party have a detector, so sailing in the canyon is equivalent to increasing the detection area in disguise.
Obviously, the team quickly accepted Fang Senyan's proposal, but some people also questioned whether there would be monsters attacking in the water, and once attacked, if the boat capsized, it would be more difficult to deal with than on land. But at this time, Bokan stood up and supported Fang Senyan's decision:
"This problem can be handed over to me. Even if the boat capsizes, as long as it is no more than fifty meters away from the shore at that time, I can condense a temporary bridge for everyone to escape to the shore."
Since the biggest hidden danger has been eliminated, then there is nothing to say, it is really time to seize the time to act. A group of people moved quickly, felled a lot of trees, tied them into a giant raft, and then began to enter the canyon.
This canyon looks like a deep scar on the plain, which is very abrupt. From the upper end of the canyon to the bottom, there is a drop of at least a hundred meters, but because of the moisturizing of the water flow, the surrounding plants are more lush.
After Fang Senyan and his party found a suitable place to enter the bottom of the canyon, they found that the walls were covered with gray-black moss because of the lack of light, and there were many fungal plants growing, which looked like mushrooms, but they were very large. Slightly touching it will scatter a lot of spores, coupled with the rising air currents that often appear in the canyon, so it looks like a burst of yellow clouds rising.
D'Artagnan, the botanist, warned that these spores may have unknown dangers and are strictly forbidden to actively touch them. Fang Senyan noticed that there were large areas of missing marks on the edges of some mushrooms, which looked as if they had been gnawed by some creatures. He now only hopes that these seemingly vegetarian creatures can be friendly, but reason tells him that this is likely to be a soap-like illusion.
