When the Violent Beasts left, they even took the corpses of their companions with them, seemingly to prevent Party Ace and the others from getting any loot. But strictly speaking, it was more likely that the Violent Beasts had a habit of treating the corpses of their companions as food.
It was worth mentioning that during the pursuit, the incomparably valiant and ferocious shadows did not appear again. Otherwise, Party Ace would not have been able to retreat so easily. Their attack pattern seemed to be similar to that of an assassin in the dark. Blood would be drawn as soon as they left their sheaths. If they were not confident, they would never expose themselves to the sunlight.
The thought of the Violent Beasts' monstrous strength, and the fact that they had to resort to such a wretched way of hiding and hunting, sent chills down their spines.
After breaking away from the pursuit, the four of them rested on the spot for a while. They bandaged themselves and ate some food to slowly recover their strength. After they had recovered to a certain extent, the three of them looked at Sheyan in unison, their eyes full of inquiry.
Obviously, Sheyan had no choice but to step forward and lead the team now. However, it seemed like Sheyan already had a card up his sleeve. He straightforwardly replied.
He said straightforwardly, "Those Violent Beasts obviously didn't know that we were coming. We're just a surprise to them, so we can be sure that their ambush was not set up specifically for us." “
Based on the reaction of the Violent Beasts, the captured humans should have companions, and there's a high chance that their companions will come to rescue them. So, we just need to go back to their campsite and wait. There should be a high chance that we'll meet the companions of the captured humans. "
After listening to Sheyan's analysis, the four of them had no objections and set off for the place they came from.
It was worth mentioning that when they arrived at the campsite of the captured humans, they found a man who was unconscious and on the verge of death not far from the campsite.
This man was none other than Paul the Metal Sculptor, whom Sheyan had concluded was very likely to survive.
Behind him, the war mechanical puppet, Hercules, had been completely destroyed. It stood solemnly beside its master like a statue, as if it still wanted to protect its master even after its death.
At this time, it could be seen that Hercules was still emitting thick black smoke, and there were traces of fire and explosion on its body. Obviously, this guy had protected its master and escaped to this place. However, a large number of negative conditions, such as acid, petrification, and so on, still shrouded its body. When its master was unconscious, it could not be effectively controlled. Thus, it caused a short circuit in the body, a fire, and finally an explosion, completely destroyed.
As for how Paul managed to escape, Sheyan could tell from his attitude towards Hercules that Paul should have an even more powerful war puppet. It was that thing that carried him all the way out of the encirclement. That thing must have consumed a lot of energy or had a time limit, so it simply disappeared.
Of course, Party Ace would not leave him in the lurch. However, after examining Paul, they found that there was no major problem with him. Other than some external injuries, he had been suppressed to a state of near death because he had accumulated too many negative statuses.
There shouldn't be any battle at the moment, and even if there was, they could escape with him. So, there was no need to waste precious potions to treat him. Basically, when Paul woke up, the duration of the negative statuses would have passed, and he would be fine the next morning.
Aldaris walked around the periphery of the campsite, mainly to prevent the Slaadi from attacking, so he placed four Psionic Guards around the campsite. The Psionic Guards were similar to burning torches inserted into the ground, but the flames were greyish-white. They could shoot fireballs to kill some ordinary creatures, and could also be used as a warning.
At this moment, the group of people were lying around the bonfire. Only then did they feel a deep sense of defeat. Even Aldaris couldn't help but sigh with heartache.
"Those damn Violent Beasts! None of my cyborgs escaped!! My equipment! "
Sheyan replied calmly, "Relax.
The Violent Beasts won't be interested in metals. After the cyborgs discovered that the only thing that could possibly attract these dangerous creatures was their brains, they specially added an isolation membrane to prevent the smell of the protein filled with additives from leaking out. So, in the eyes of the Violent Beasts, as long as the cyborgs don't move, they are as unattractive as the reeds and mud in the swamp. We have to believe in the wisdom of those cyborgs. "
"I hope you're right," said Aldaris resentfully. "But even if you're right, there's no way we can take back what originally belonged to us."
Sheyan pondered for a moment.
"Strictly speaking, it's not impossible. Know yourself and know your enemy, and you'll never be defeated. Now that we've grasped the trump card of the Violent Beasts, although it seems that we'll have to pay a huge price for it, it's not impossible with our current strength. "
Pokan interjected.
"It's possible for us to kill all those bastards, but it'll take time. Unfortunately, our main mission on this cursed planet isn't to kill those disgusting creatures. Although those bastards in the space base didn't give us much time, I have a hunch that the sooner we complete the mission, the better. So we don't have much time to squander now! "
"Well said," Sheyan nodded in approval. Sheyan nodded approvingly. "I've been pondering over this problem for a long time, but now I realize that we've made a mistake in our search for ores. Is it really a good idea to blindly search for ores like headless flies?"
"If my guess is correct … … then finding the ore veins won't be too difficult. The premise is that I have to get some relevant information about this world. I think the humans who have been here for some time should have this information. The key is how to persuade them to give us the information. Maybe rescuing their companions can do that. You see, things are back to killing those damn Violent Beasts again. "
Pokan shrugged.
"Well, it seems that you're still worthy of my trust, so I'll support you for the time being."
Since Sheyan proposed to continue attacking the Violent Beasts, the rest of the team also made some calculations in their minds.
Personally, everyone had indeed been beaten into a sorry state by the Violent Beasts before, and they had lost before they could even display their full strength. Naturally, they were extremely indignant. How could the proud and arrogant people swallow this humiliation?
Most of the detectors and extractors were on the cyborgs, and they might even be able to get their hands on the soul equipment of their dead companions. How could they be satisfied if they didn't get back at them? Therefore, they all agreed with Sheyan's proposal.
But at that moment, Ronnie, who had been silent all this time, suddenly revealed a very important piece of information.
"We probably won't be able to stay here safely for more than ten days."
"I've made a deal with the Dark General before, so the information I got from him before I set off was that the Predators will start hunting in the near future, but the first batch to arrive will be the most elite warriors. The first thing they have to do is to clean up the creatures that shouldn't have appeared on this planet! This is to avoid affecting their young nobles' training. "
Sheyan now understood why Ronnie was so hostile towards him. Before they set off, he had taken over the private plane that the Dark General had left for Ronnie, and then he had taken away Ronnie's crushing extractor. With all these factors added together, it was no wonder that Ronnie disliked him so much.
Aldaris said.
"Now that we've decided that our next target is the Violent Beast camp, we have to figure out what the monsters that can travel mysteriously underground are."
Speaking of this topic, Sheyan solemnly said, "That's right.
"If I'm not mistaken, they should be the enemies that the Predators like to mess with the most. The reason why they like this enemy is because the monsters are strong, poisonous, insidious and dangerous. They can force the powerful Predators into a life and death situation. That's also the most exciting moment for the Predators, as if their lives have been sublimated in an instant!"
"Are you saying that those things are Xenomorphs? The kind that can lay eggs in other creatures and then absorb their genes? "asked Pokan in surprise. "But the creatures in the swamp don't look like Xenomorphs. First of all, their heads are very small, and second, they don't match in terms of size or habits."
"In order to reproduce, it's possible that the Xenomorphs let their larvae (facehuggers) parasitize the creatures in the swamp, then evolve into Xenomorphs that meet the special conditions of the swamp," said Sheyan confidently. "In the face of survival, everything has to be compromised."
Surveying his surroundings, he discovered that the others still had a look of disbelief on their faces. Sheyan then said.
"I've already speculated that there are Xenomorphs among the Violent Beasts, but you don't believe me, do you? Although theoretically, Xenomorphs can parasitize and evolve in any creature, there's no doubt that their favorite larval hosts are still humanoid creatures.
