Under the splendor of the setting sun, Sheyan was still hunting. Exerting strength, he snapped the neck of the peacock deer he had pounced on. Then, he casually tossed the fat deer to the na'vi behind him. He didn't stand up, but instead sat down on a nearby slope. Taking a deep breath, he turned to gaze towards the east.
That was an exceedingly wide river bend. Observing the boundless and mighty grandeur of this river bend, describing it as a lake wouldn't be an exaggeration. The distant sunset glow had already sunk into the horizon and was dyed red. Waves surged across the surface of the lake, as though thousands of golden scales were flickering incessantly.
Mogensha puffed his cigar as he strolled over, vaguely asking.
"Boss, tired?"
Sheyan gazed at the blazing sunset glow, faintly shaking his head. Ignoring the question, he replied.
"It's currently 17 pm right?"
Mogensha was slightly taken aback, glancing at his watch as he nodded.
"It's about time."
Sheyan gently continued.
"The time we entered this world is 17 pm."
Mogensha laughed bitterly.
"Boss, can you finish your words at once?"
Sheyan chuckled, comfortably stretching his waist. Then, he turned to stare at Mogensha.
"That means, if nothing unexpected happens, regardless of whether Zi and the rest completed the final side mission, the majority of them should have already left this world."
Mogensha took a deep breath and replied.
"That should be right ….. don't tell me, boss, you've actually been waiting for the Illume-union to leave?"
Sheyan earnestly replied.
"That's right!! The greatest difficulty of the Golden Side Mission, I'm afraid, is still the contestant's interference! Ultimately, only one person can obtain the reward. That's a restriction, it's hard to make others sacrifice themselves for you! What I want to do, I cannot afford to fail. Furthermore, Zi and her bunch are unstable elements, they are definitely the greatest thorn in my heart. "
"Their combined might is actually extremely terrifying. If they wholeheartedly wanted to stir up trouble, that would be extremely frightening! Therefore, I'd rather wait! I'd rather wait! The Illume-union's greatest strength is their high cohesiveness. Yet, their greatest weakness lies in that. Although Zi's vengeful heart is strong, she will definitely consider the bigger picture and return together. "
Reef then muttered.
"Is it possible that … they successfully completed the final side quest, and at the same time chose to stay in this world for an extra period of time?"
Sheyan smiled and replied.
"Although I will consider small probability events when making plans, it is already a small probability event for them to successfully complete the final side mission … At the same time, choosing to stay in this world for an extra period of time is an even smaller probability event. This kind of situation is too rare, it is almost impossible to consider."
"In that case." Speaking till here, Sheyan gazed towards the distant galloping Muru. His eyes flickered with a raging flame of ambition. "Now is the time for him to fulfill his promise."
After a short while, Muru galloped over with an excited expression.
"My brother, I heard that you're looking for me?"
Sheyan nodded and solemnly said.
"Hmm, I require the assistance of the Takji clan. In the upcoming period, I may be in an extremely perilous situation, and require protection."
Muru said seriously.
"The Takji clan will protect you with their lives."
Sheyan smiled and replied.
"The enemy might be very powerful, possibly even more powerful than the Mosake clan."
Muru chuckled heartily.
"Those Mosake brats are indeed formidable, but their chicks are rather decent. My father's wife was snatched from the Mosake clan. I will do the same in the future! Any dangers are fleeting clouds in front of me! "
The more Reef listened to Muru's words, the more awkward he felt ….. Muru's father's wife, wasn't that Muru's wife? Listening to Sheyan talking about this matter with great relish, it was as though he was flaunting a medal of honour hanging around his neck.
At this moment, Muru leapt down from his horse and walked to Sheyan's side.
"Brother, don't worry. The Takji clan will be your staunch backing at any time and place, as long as you summon us."
*****
Desolate,
Strange,
Warped,
Spacious,
This was the first impression Sheyan and the rest had upon witnessing this scene.
What appeared before their eyes were withered trees growing horizontally on the precipice, spiralling river water flowing from low to high, and strangely fractured tectonic plates forcibly protruding out from the earth. Twisting paths resembling vines, bottomless fissures in the earth, and clusters of sand pits resembling psoriasis.
One could even observe that the soil had formed into gigantic snake-like ropes, with a diameter of tens of metres. Fresh tree branches and broken tree trunks were mixed within, occasionally intertwining, occasionally twisting, as they penetrated deep into the ground. It was as though a formless gigantic palm carrying an irresistible force was wantonly kneading this entire area, before it laughed maniacally and hurriedly left.
Nevertheless, Sheyan and the rest were incomparably familiar with this place. This place wasn't any different from the rest of Pandora; a dense rainforest, bizarre creatures, intertwining vines, damp humus layer …..
This was the place where the mighty Growth-hunter Makaji had perished. It was also the place where the mighty Illinois clan had thoroughly perished. Similarly, it was also the place where the Kiwatakin clan had met their end …..
Sheyan folded his arms across his chest, maintaining a relatively calm appearance. Yet as he observed this grotesque and variegated scene, he couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine. When he was burying the explosives beneath the Hometree, he hadn't considered that after the Hometree collapsed, it would result in a violent magnetic storm that would break the relative balance of the magnetic field!
Naturally, if he was unlucky enough to be swept into this destructive force, even a 100 points physique expert wouldn't be able to survive. Most likely, he would be insta-killed.
The deeper they ventured into the core of the magnetic storm, the more bizarre scenes they witnessed. Everywhere were suspended high up in the air, obstructing their line of sight. Moreover, the creatures of Pandora seemed to be stupefied by this frenzied and ferocious force.
At present, even though the magnetic storm had subsided, the creatures were still trembling with lingering fear at the edge of the magnetic storm zone. They didn't dare to enter, as though any living being that dared to enter would be cursed. As for Sheyan and the rest, they felt as though they were walking in a desert of life. Their surroundings were truly deathly still. If not for the trio being contestants who were several times stronger than ordinary humans, they would've felt as though they couldn't move a single step.
After trekking arduously for an entire half an hour, Sheyan suddenly halted his footsteps and muttered.
"It's here."
As they neared the core of the magnetic storm, the terrain instead became flatter. This was because the frenzied might of the magnetic storm had directly disintegrated everything into fine powder. Following that, under the influence of gravity, it naturally settled down. At present, even without Sheyan's reminder, everyone could clearly see that the original location of the Hometree had shockingly transformed into a terrifying sinkhole that was at least 70-80 metres deep.
The sinkhole's bottom was extremely flat and spacious, at least the size of 2 football fields. At the bottom of the sinkhole, densely packed clusters of Pandora crystals were present! They were densely packed together like coral reefs at the bottom of the sea. Moreover, these coral reefs were translucent and sparkling, appearing incomparably gorgeous and dreamy.
Sheyan couldn't help but take a deep breath upon witnessing this scene. Then, he rapidly climbed down along the walls of the sinkhole. When he reached the bottom of the sinkhole, Sheyan suddenly took a deep breath and said, "That's right.
"Do you guys know why I wanted to blow up this Hometree that day?"
Reef curiously asked.
"Isn't it to plot against the Takji clan's reinforcements?"
Sheyan earnestly replied.
"That bomb was actually able to trigger such a terrifying magnetic storm. Indeed, I didn't expect ….. my main objective, was to settle this once and for all!"
Speaking till here, Sheyan's eyes flashed with a trace of fanaticism!
"You guys should know how important this Hometree is to the Na 'vi race. Once a Na' vi discovers this ownerless Hometree, then they would very likely come forth to reclaim it. That would be extremely detrimental to my plans! What I requested was exactly like this! A tranquil piece of Pandora crystals, devoid of any life! The greatest extent to prevent other creatures from sensing any traces of it. Only then can we prevent our ally from being strangled to death at its embryonic stage when it is at its weakest! To provide it with the greatest and safest environment for its growth! "
At this moment, Sheyan was already standing ramrod straight on his original spot. Both his hands were raised high towards the sky. The winds and clouds were surging, as though even the deep darkness was emitting faint sighs. Then, Sheyan turned his head and gazed towards Mogensha and Reef. His lips curled into a mysterious smile.
"Next, is the moment to witness a miracle!!!"
In this instance, 5 mounds of roughly a metre in diameter suddenly protruded out from the hundred square metres of soft soil beside Sheyan's body. Faint yet vigorous heartbeats could be heard from within. Following the elapse of time, soft and fine sand rustled and scattered. The winds and clouds were surging in the sky. It was as though the entire planet of Pandora was using this method to resist their appearance!!
In a short span of a minute, several mournful howls resounded through the air. The soil on the two mounds had thoroughly scattered, revealing incomparably tough eggshells. At this moment, the two eggshells had already shattered, as the pungent stench of amniotic fluid assaulted their nostrils. From within, four fierce and vigorous shadows leapt out, instantly surveying the surroundings with incomparable vigilance.
These were indeed zerglings! Savage species from the Milky Way world!!
Beside the zerglings, there were still 3 unhatched oocysts that were in the midst of rapidly arching … …. If you like this work, I welcome you to donate your recommendation votes or monthly votes to me. Your support, is my greatest motivation.)
