If the thing in the skull man's chest looked very disgusting before, and was completely a cancerous organ that only absorbed nutrients from the body, then now that the body was dying, the cancerous organ began to regurgitate the body in order to survive, completely feeding back all the nutrients it had previously absorbed to the body.
However, although this method could prolong life, it could not save it.
Firstly, the cancerous organ was not a perfect and powerful creature like the 'Stairway of the Sun'.
Secondly, Tom's injury was too serious. Even for a contestant whose body had been digitised, it was still a very, very fatal injury. No matter how much nutrients the parasitic organ stored, it would eventually run out.
Surprisingly, after seeing Sheyan, the skull man struggled fiercely, as if he wanted to sit up. He seemed to be trying to say something in his mouth. However, his extreme weakness made everything he did futile.
At this moment, when Sheyan saw Tom's bloodshot but indifferent eyes, as well as that strange expression that was twisted but not in pain, he suddenly had a strange and strange feeling in his heart, as if he was facing a completely different person!
Sheyan immediately considered this inference. According to Tom's injuries, even if he was not dead, he was still in a coma and on the verge of death. Then … with the strange cancerous organ in his chest controlling his whole body, could it be that the guy who wanted to communicate with him was actually the consciousness of this organ?
Of course, Sheyan did not know about Tom's tragic experience, nor did he know that the cancerous organ in his chest was actually modulated by the cells of the Ten Strongest stored in the Nightmare Realm.
But because Sheyan himself was a pervert, he couldn't do anything about it.
Don't forget that his body also contained a strange biological organ like the 'Stairway of the Sun'. With such a preconceived impression, it was natural for him to associate it with this aspect.
So, Sheyan naturally turned to Dardanian.
"Is there a way to replenish his energy?"
Dardanian shrugged.
"Yes, but it's a little expensive."
"Do I look like someone who would go back on his word?" asked Sheyan flatly.
Dardanian only wanted Sheyan to owe him a favour and had no intention of charging a fee. When he heard Sheyan's words, he could only smile wryly and toss out a seed.
As soon as this seed was taken out, a refreshing aroma filled the entire room. It was like the aroma of new tea, which made everyone feel refreshed and refreshed. They couldn't help but take a few deep breaths. Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem As soon as this seed was taken out, a refreshing aroma filled the entire room.
The seed was dark and inconspicuous. It was about the size of a chestnut, but like a dandelion seed, it slowly descended in a strange manner in the air. It hovered above Tom's body for a while, then fell on his neck. It rapidly grew tentacles that looked like tree roots and stuck to his skin.
In just a few short seconds, the seed quickly withered into ashes. Tom suddenly regained his spirit and his rapidly heaving chest gradually calmed down. He panted for a while, then spoke to Sheyan in a hoarse and stiff voice. "That's right. That's right. That's right. That's right.
"You, you have a familiar aura that makes me feel perplexed."
Sheyan listened quietly. For some reason, he suddenly thought of the strange illusion of vertical pupils that appeared in his mind when he was attacked by The Fool's experimental subject! He looked at Skull Man Tom and said,
"What are you trying to say?"
Skull man Tom's breathing suddenly became ragged. He coughed violently as he stammered with great difficulty.
"You must, must go to the Big Ben Research Institute! There, there, there's, there's, there's your, your … "
Before he could finish his sentence, a large amount of blood and fragmented tissue gushed out of Tom's mouth. He even rushed to the ceiling and died. A few drops of blood from his mouth splashed onto the back of Sheyan's hand. The temperature of the blood was so high that it was scalding!
Sheyan turned his head and saw that Cyborg No. 1 was operating the crushing extractor in the distance, so he probably did not see what was going on here. For some reason, Sheyan felt a sense of relief. He repeated the words "Big Ben Research Institute" several times in his heart, then took a deep breath and strode out.

After the extraction of the Pi element was completed and the spoils were divided, it was time to discuss their next course of action. Time was of the essence; they could not afford to waste any more time.
Sheyan turned to look at Cyborg No. 1 with a curious look in his eyes. The old guy bowed slightly.
"Master, the three requirements you mentioned before are: First, a race with the intelligence of a human child no less than ten years old. Second, a race that is good at living underground or building nests. Third, a distance of no more than 300 kilometers from here. Based on the spaceship database I obtained, I've selected two targets. Please make your choice."
As Cyborg No. 1 spoke, he shared the information with Sheyan.
[Race A: Black-Striped Mole Insects]
This was a creature with the characteristics of mole crickets on Earth. It had no eyes and relied on five infrared sensing glands growing on the surface of its body to detect the world. Its length was about one to two meters. The females were larger in size, and their powerful forelimbs made it easy for them to move through the soil.
The brain capacity of the Black-Striped Mole Insects is very high, even higher than that of apes. Judging from their hunting and reproduction, it can be judged that they have intelligence and can communicate with the outside world. So far, it has been discovered that the Black-Striped Mole Insects will try to trade with vultures with dried plant roots.
[Disadvantage: The Black-Striped Mole Insects may not be interested in the bargaining chips we can offer. More importantly, they only like to move on the soft plains and are helpless in areas with rocks.]
***
[Race B: Buffalo Criminals]
This is a ferocious humanoid creature. It has four symmetrical eyes, two of which are slightly higher than the cheekbones. It has its own simple language.
Its characteristics are very obvious. The most striking feature is the huge aneurysm on its right shoulder. The aneurysm has a clear pattern of fangs on its surface. This is because every Buffalo Criminal fanatic has to sharpen the stem of a plant on its right shoulder after birth. As a result, the aneurysm slowly mutates into this aneurysm. Its mouth is similar to that of a cow, horse, or sheep. It feeds on a plant called "Haloxantha", which usually grows in moist valleys. Its staple food is a milky white liquid secreted by the top of a Buffalo Bacillus.
Their whole body is covered with thick black hair. They are no more than 1.5 meters tall, but their muscles are very obvious. The ratio of their legs is obviously shorter than their upper limbs. When they are excited or angry, their teeth will make a clear grinding sound, and they will growl like a dog from their throat.
These guys were natural miners, and it was reasonable to assume that they had mastered a certain level of forging skills. Every member of the Buffalo Criminal you could see carried a sharp axe on their back. Coupled with their abilities, rocks were as easy as tofu for them to cut through.
They dig wherever there are rocks, looking for a mineral called "Kurut". This mineral is as important to them as salt is to humans. The more of this mineral a monster ingests, the stronger it will become.
Judging from their robberies and hunting, there is no need to doubt their intelligence. The key is how to come up with something that can catch their eye and make them obediently trade with it.
[Disadvantage: This is a ferocious creature. First of all, they are natural robbers and robbers. Only then can you talk to them. The Predators probably took a fancy to the strong fighting power of many Buffalo Criminals when they joined forces, so they brought them to this planet. The rich "Kurut" mineral on this planet makes these guys even stronger.]

After reading this series of descriptions, it did not take much effort for Sheyan to decide to go to the territory of the Buffalo Criminals. They were not afraid of danger, but they were in a hurry. There was no doubt that the Buffalo Criminals, who were good at dealing with rocks, would have more information about the Kurut mineral veins.
Thus, Party Ace left the unfriendly human settlement. The map they were using had been upgraded to the standard version of the Empire's map drawn by the ship's detection system. Every route, river, and mountain range could be clearly seen on the map.
According to the map, the camp of the Buffalo Criminals was located in a mountain range 70 kilometers away from here. Because they were like pile drivers, destroying all the rocks in their path, they had a large range of activity. After they arrived, they would probably have to slowly find the specific location of their camp.
For contestants like the contestants, a distance of 70 kilometres was not a short distance to traverse on foot. Especially when they had to traverse through the jungle and wilderness.
Fortunately, they had the Iron Golem and Ramtas to clear the way. Otherwise, their speed would have been reduced by at least 30%. As for the possibility that the remaining Predators might follow them like shadows, Party Ace was not too worried about that. This was because, in principle, the Predator's invisibility could only distort light. It could not eliminate sounds such as their breathing and movements.
On the way, Sheyan noticed that he was being watched by two Predators, but he remained calm and collected. When they entered a narrow valley, he suddenly asked Aldaris to unleash a 'Psionic Storm'! The Psionic Storm covered the area where the Predators were located! (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it at qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
