Immediately afterwards, a huge humanoid creature broke out of the ground and crawled up. It still had the appearance of a boar-man, but the most eye-catching thing about it was the long bristles that extended all the way to its buttocks! It looked like a hybrid of a porcupine and a human.
The skin on its body was thick, rough and cracked like a tortoise's shell. One could tell at a glance that it had an extremely good defence. Only the temporary crystal between its eyebrows looked exactly the same as the previous Ramtas, but there was still a difference in colour.
Ramtas used this crystal to mobilize the power of nature, so it was pale green in colour, but the crystal between the eyebrows of this boar-man was blood-red!
When it engaged in close combat, it could use a shield and a huge bone club as a shield warrior. However, when it engaged in long-range attacks, it would crouch on the ground, and a large number of bristles on its back would stand up. The bristles were more than a foot long and as thick as a finger. They were sharp and gleaming with a sharp blood-red light, and had natural barbs!
Using the contraction of its muscles, the bristles could reach a maximum range of 150 meters, and their most effective range was between 100 meters and 50 meters. Because the crystal between its eyebrows could adjust its accuracy at any time, the accuracy of its attacks was quite good.
"Master." The boar-man still bowed deeply in front of Sheyan. "I, the mighty Ramtas, have been reborn. I'm ready to fight for you at any time."
Sheyan was surprised.
"You still have your memories from before?"
The boar-man nodded.
"I'm Ramtas! The most powerful boar-man warrior! "
The "native" humans were dumbfounded. In their minds, it was not a far-fetched idea to cultivate a fighting creature through genetic technology, but Sheyan had skillfully used alchemy tools from the 15th or 16th century on Old Earth to create a living fighting creature in just a few minutes in such an environment. This was completely beyond their understanding. They immediately looked at Sheyan with awe.
Sheyan and his party introduced themselves to these people as follows:
"Members of the special forces, possessing extraordinary power. It's a highly confidential secret of the Empire."
Those people didn't believe it at first, because many of them had access to high-level secrets, but after witnessing the power Sheyan had just displayed, they had no choice but to believe it.
However, Sheyan did not seize command of the next operation. Instead, he insisted that Hadrick and the others should be in charge. After all, they should be more familiar with the habits of the Violent Beasts. Leaving things to the professionals was the only way to be a qualified team leader.
At Sheyan's insistence, Hadrick took over the command. Strangely enough, he did not lead the group directly to the Violent Beasts. Instead, they took a detour of at least ten kilometers to reach the surface. To be precise, they went upstream along the river that Sheyan's group came from, but they did not enter the plateau. Instead, they followed a tributary of the river.
"After this tributary flows down, it will reach the territory of the Violent Beasts."
Hadrick straightforwardly explained to Sheyan and the others, and then said,
"According to our previous observations, the Violent Beasts have a very unique habit, which is a very strange autumn hibernation. For example, bears, turtles, snakes and other creatures will fall into hibernation when there is a lack of food in winter and it is difficult to hunt. But why do the Violent Beasts fall into hibernation when there is plenty of food in autumn? There must be a reason behind it. "
Hadrick could not help but grin at this point.
"The doctor finally found out that in autumn, there is a kind of tree called curly paulownia upstream that will bear fruit. The fruits it bears are somewhat similar to dandelion flowers, and when they mature, the seeds will flutter in the wind. The seeds of the curly paulownia will often dissolve when they fall into the water, causing subtle changes in the water flow. When this kind of river flows through the swamps where the Violent Beasts live, the Violent Beasts will show great fear towards it. The main reason is that a very small amount of curly paulownia seeds mixed in the water will produce a strong allergic reaction, causing the Violent Beasts great pain and unbearable itchiness all over their bodies. They will even tear their skin bloody with their claws, but of course, it is not fatal. This situation is equivalent to human pollen allergy. Therefore, the autumn hibernation of the Violent Beasts is actually to avoid the ripening of the curly paulownia fruits that are distributed all over Planet Hunting. "
Sheyan's eyes lit up as he listened to Hadrick's explanation.
"But it should be early summer now …."
Hadrick said proudly.
"The difference between humans and animals, of course, lies in the tools they use. Ever since I learned that Raffel and the others had an accident in the swamps, I brought a bottle of curly paulownia seeds that I collected last year."
Hadrick took out a military-style canned box from his pocket. It was grass-green in colour and contained the curly paulownia seeds. Sheyan took a closer look and found that the seeds were very similar to the parasol tree fruit on Earth.
The parasol tree fruit on Earth looked like a ball when it ripened, but if you pinched it, you would find that there was a small hard core inside, surrounded by dense, fluffy seeds that resembled dandelions. The curly paulownia seeds were slightly larger than the parasol tree fruit on Earth, about the size of a goose egg. They were also much fluffier and would fly everywhere when the wind blew.
Sheyan watched as Hadrick grabbed two or three pinches of curly paulownia seeds and sprinkled them into the water. The seeds quickly dissolved in the water, like sugar and salt mixed in water. Hadrick then carefully put away most of the remaining curly paulownia seeds.
Ronnie frowned as he looked at the black water flowing slowly into the swamp. He asked doubtfully, "That's right.
He asked doubtfully, "Will such a small amount really work? Should we sprinkle a little more? "
Hadrick was already shaking his head like a rattle.
"That's enough. I've already increased the amount. If I put any more, it will cause panic among the Violent Beasts. They will gather together and then forcibly move away. That's not worth the loss!"
The group waited for half an hour. It was now the darkest time before dawn. They quietly crept behind the swamp where the Violent Beasts were entrenched. Although the contestants were still quite vigilant, it was obviously no longer necessary.
This was because the Violent Beasts had all run to the island and stayed there. Most of them were tearing at their own skin with their claws, even though they were dripping with blood. At the same time, they let out indescribable roars. In such a situation, they could not even maintain their basic rationality, let alone keep watch.
From the high-powered binoculars, Sheyan could see that most of the Violent Beasts had many soybean-sized rashes on their skin. The rashes looked like the skin of a toad, making one's scalp tingle and itch unbearably. Some of the Violent Beasts even began to attack each other frantically, seemingly hoping to suppress the uncomfortable allergic reaction on their bodies with the severe pain on their bodies.
"It's really effective," murmured Paul.
However, Hadrick shrugged his shoulders and said,
"Unfortunately, this is all I can do. I can only make them feel uncomfortable. There's nothing I can do to kill them."
Sheyan suddenly asked.
"The curly paulownia seed doesn't seem to be of any use to the Xenomorphs, right?"
Hadrick nodded.
"The Xenomorphs are very powerful creatures. Their genes evolve very quickly, so it's useless."
Sheyan looked at the Violent Beasts crowding the island from afar, then turned to look at Aldaris.
"If you can get close and unleash a 'Psionic Storm', we'll be rich."
By now, the contestants had already obtained some relevant information from Hadrick. The relationship between the Violent Beasts and the Xenomorphs was not that of slave master and slave, but a peculiar symbiotic relationship.
On Earth, many ants and aphids would choose to live in symbiosis. The ants liked the sweet secretions of the aphids as food, and in return, the ladybugs that fed on the aphids would be besieged by the ants.
Similarly, the Xenomorphs would secrete a special acidic mucus. Even if the mucus had been diluted with water, it would still have a miraculous effect on a parasite and completely kill it. This parasite was quite fatal to the Violent Beasts.
Therefore, the average lifespan of the Violent Beasts living with the Xenomorphs would be extended by 50%. This led to the fact that the number of Violent Beasts living in symbiosis with the Xenomorphs was often much higher than normal.
According to Sheyan's calculations, the number of Violent Beasts living in symbiosis with the Xenomorphs must be more than a thousand. After the conflict last night, the contestants had killed two or three hundred Violent Beasts. If they could take advantage of this opportunity to kill another two or three hundred Violent Beasts, the following operation would be much easier.
Sheyan looked at Aldaris. If Aldaris could unleash a 'Psionic Storm' on the island … they would reap amazing results. However, Aldaris decisively refused this unreasonable request. Given his casting distance, he would have to risk being ambushed by the Xenomorphs in the swamp.
More importantly, 'Psionic Storm' was a spell that required continuous casting. If it was interrupted midway, it would lose its greatest power.
Sheyan thought for a moment, then pulled Hadrick aside to discuss the matter. Hadrick told him that it was night time, and their plant juice had a very strong covering effect. It could allow Aldaris to approach the island without being detected, but that was the best they could do.
After pondering for a while, Sheyan pulled Aldaris aside and explained for a while. Then, he repeatedly emphasized several details. Finally, Aldaris stared blankly at the pitch-black swamp for a while. Finally, he reluctantly nodded his head. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it at qidian.com.
