Facing the incomparably domineering Zi's interrogation, Sheyan's reply was exceedingly ingenious. Since the opponent had already arranged a routine, then they naturally couldn't follow their tempo. Since they wanted them to do multiple choice questions, then the wisest method was to directly nullify the question! He sighed and replied.
"What a pity ….. we've just completed our mission and returned."
At present, Brother Black's face was filled with regret as he grumbled.
"Madam Zi! Why didn't you mention such a good suggestion earlier? Sigh! A pity, for the sake of completing the mission, I've wasted several precious one-time use items! "
Hearing Sheyan's reply, the Illume-union members' expressions instantly changed, as they gnashed their teeth in hatred ….. Sheyan's reply was indeed unsatisfactory to them, yet they couldn't find any fault with it! Even more abominable was Mogensha, he actually played the blame game and grumbled with an innocent face. "Why didn't you say so earlier!" Such a slut should be stripped naked, hung upside down and whipped!
While both parties sunk into a deadlock, a glaring light suddenly flashed from afar. Three RDA Swan assault vehicles (a type of armed armoured vehicle) were patrolling along the distant road. Their objective was to prevent some extreme natures Na'vi warriors and wild beasts from destroying the road, and to prevent them from affecting the next day's ore transportation.
Seizing this opportunity, the trio took the initiative to greet the patrol, explaining that they were members of the exploration party who had just completed their exploration mission. Tired and hungry, they wished to hitch a ride back to base. This request was naturally approved. Unless the Illume-union wanted to completely break off relations with the RDA company, they definitely wouldn't dare to forcefully detain them.
Brother Black's face was beaming as he held a cigar in his mouth as he hopped onto the vehicle. Then, he turned around and waved incessantly at the Illume-union members. It was simply like a superstar bidding farewell to his fans. Demondream's fingers had already turned white from gripping her saber hilt. Zi's expression sunk as she muttered.
"There's definitely a problem with those guys!"
Archeaphill squinted his eyes and replied.
"Then now we ….."
Zi coldly replied.
"We'll immediately follow and monitor them closely! Reef and Seaman's speed is ultimately their shortcoming. Without their coordination, even if we can complete the final step of this side mission, our casualties will be disastrous! If they aren't willing to help, then they can forget about gaining any advantages in this world. "
Yet 5 minutes later, Demondream sent a rather depressing message into the party channel.
"Apologies, I lost them."
Even Zi was shocked by this news!
"You lost them?"
In Zi's impression, Demondream was a grandmaster in this field. Nobody had ever escaped her pursuit. Instead, Demondream remained silent for a brief moment, before admitting this unfortunate news.
"You'll know when you're here."
Very quickly, all the members of the Illume-union had arrived at the place where Demondream was staying. It was the edge of an incomparably steep cliff.
Zi gazed into the deep darkness beyond the cliff and slowly uttered.
"Their two choices are to jump down or fly away. My guess is that they'll fly away. Looks like we've underestimated these three from Party Ace … especially that … Seaman!"

Naturally, Sheyan had finally mobilized the arachnid Overlord he purchased from the Starship Trooper world. Now that the contestants were all cleared out, he no longer had any misgivings. This jellyfish-like creature transport tranquilly traversed through the air of Pandora, directly flying towards the Takji clan's location. Sheyan had previously tried using the Overlord's camouflage function by forking out some utility points. Instead, he was notified that the function was unusable in the battlefield.
Yet very quickly, the unlucky incident that Sheyan was worried about happened. As the sky brightened, several Mountain Banshees that believed in 'the early bird gets the worm' soared through the skies. Their outstanding eyesight quickly discovered the arachnid Overlord, a creature they'd never seen before. Instantly, their appetites soared as saliva gushed out crazily, as they pounced over.
Left with no other choice, the trio could only choose to land. After a bitter battle, the arachnid Overlord was torn to shreds. Still, they managed to repel the Mountain Banshees. Fortunately, this location was roughly less than 10 kilometres away from the Takji clan's location on the map. Thus, they managed to save a considerable amount of time.
The forest here appeared rather sparse. Sheyan and the trio already possessed abundant jungle survival experiences. After trekking for a short while, they exited the forest. What greeted them was an exceedingly vast grassland.
There seemed to be Pandora ore veins scattered all over the grassland. From time to time, there would be some floating 7-8 meters in the air that cleverly blocked people's line of sight. The lush green grass on the grassland had just reached people's knees. When the morning breeze blew, it would feel like a sea of grass was rippling, giving off an indescribable feeling of relaxation and joy.
After walking for approximately a kilometre, Mogensha's fleshy nostrils suddenly flared as he abruptly exclaimed.
"There's a stench of blood to the west!"
The trio hastily approached. After circling around a roughly 100 metre floating rock mound, they witnessed a large herd of creatures sprinting over at high speed. These creatures had curved horns growing from their heads, while a thick lizard tail grew behind their buttocks. Their sprinting appearance was rather bizarre, but their speed was exceptionally quick.
According to the RDA company's records, these creatures were known as lizard sheep. They preferred to live in moist swamps and grasslands. Behind these creatures, 5-6 na'vi cavalry mounted on direhorses were shouting out for their hunt.
Their hands were currently brandishing a peculiar weapon. This weapon appeared rather crude, and was made up of a 2 metre long rope with round rocks tied to both ends. Then, it would swing and toss out. Once it came into contact with the prey's buttocks, it would automatically revolve and bind the prey.
Sheyan also noticed that there weren't any robust youths among these na'vi cavalry. Instead, most of them were elderly and children. Hence, their coordination and strength were rather rusty. Moreover, the lizard sheep they were hunting seemed to be much more tenacious and savage than the gazelles of earth. Once it suffered an attack, its eyes would turn scarlet as it roared ferociously! Thus, the 5-6 na'vi cavalry could only capture one.
At this moment, Sheyan gestured to Reef and Mogensha. Then, he abruptly charged towards the lizard sheep flock. Leaping into the air, he actually used his arms to clamp tightly around the neck of a lizard sheep! The lizard sheep's neck was shockingly covered with thick armor like the direhorses. Yet under Sheyan's brute strength, it rapidly cracked apart like porcelain! Blood like liquid sprayed out from within. Nevertheless, its strength wasn't weak. It didn't topple after being clamped by Sheyan, and continued sprinting forward after staggering a few times.
Even so, the lizard sheep was instantly tormented by agonizing pain. It shrieked mournfully as it swiped its tail wildly! The grass, soil, and humus within a radius of ten meters were rolled up crazily and whipped on the head of its own kind beside it.
The unlucky one that was whipped instantly lost its balance and rolled away; successfully becoming a stumbling block. The rest of the fleeing lizard sheep weren't able to evade in time, and were successively tripped; forming a domino like chain effect.
Sheyan exerted strength in his arms, and with a muffled groan, he broke the lizard sheep's neck. Then, he somersaulted in midair and landed steadily. Lifting up the dead lizard sheep, he tossed it towards the incoming na'vi cavalry. Yet when the lizard sheep soared through the air, a sudden gust of wind assaulted their faces. A massive Mountain Banshee flapped its wings and swooped down, opening its jaws and biting down with force!
This Mountain Banshee was actually pure black from head to toe. This terrifying carnivorous beast opened its jaws, and viciously bit down on the lizard sheep. Its throat squirmed incessantly as it sucked in fresh blood. Flapping its wings, the Mountain Banshee actually dragged the lizard sheep as it spiralled through the air. Following that, it twisted its robust neck, trying its utmost to rip apart half of the mournful shrieking beast.
From afar, one could see that the Mountain Banshee's ferocious maw was even more terrifying. Two rows of incisive curved teeth protruded from within, each of them 20-30 centimetres long. Once bitten, even a direhorse with tough bone armour wouldn't be able to withstand it. Although the lizard sheep was a robust creature, such a bite would be hard to escape!
At this moment, Reef had already charged into the midst of the tumbling lizard sheep flock. Raising his head to the sky, he released a furious roar, instantly stunning the fleeing livestock into a deceleration state. From afar, Mogensha was already half kneeling on the ground, his head leaning against his rifle butt as he took aim; executing a standard battle stance. Simultaneously, his rifle muzzle spat out tongues of flame. With the combined efforts of the trio, slaughtering the dozen lizard sheep was merely a short span of 10 seconds.
Facing such a situation, the 5-6 na'vi mounts hesitated, as they hesitated to advance. Instead, the Mountain Banshee swallowed the lizard sheep in the air, before spiralling down. A relatively tall na'vi stood atop its back, as he shouted loudly.
"What do you outsiders intend to do?"
This na'vi appeared rather aged, the wrinkles on his face deep as though carved by a knife. His forehead was adorned with a rather precious ornament, as two streaks of red paint were smeared across his face in a crisscrossing pattern. It exuded a dignified and murderous aura.
