Facing Sheyan's questioning inquiry, the Blackthorn Overmind's greatest advantage was that he had a large group of workers who could work 23 hours without overtime pay, social security or supervision. Hence, he snorted disdainfully and replied.
"Even if there is only a tiny piece of Pandora ore within a mountain, the diligent Blackthorn lads will definitely dig it out! Besides, do our mighty arachnids require any cost for mining? But … …. "
The Blackthorn Overmind replied with a slightly awkward tone.
"We've just reached an agreement with Mother Nature Eywa, she shouldn't condone such actions right?"
Sheyan smiled gently and replied.
"Your agreement is – The Blackthorn territory's current size is the limit, you cannot continue expanding right? Let me see, your current base is roughly 10 square kilometres. If you shrink your base to 5 square kilometres, wouldn't you be able to establish a 5 square kilometre sub-base? "
"Anyways, according to the agreement, you are currently unable to breed high class arachnids. Therefore, you can just let those temporarily unusable organ structures wither away. You can also abandon those larvae spawning lair. In this way, isn't it too simple to reduce your base's size by half? Such an easy matter, do you still need me to elaborate? "
The Blackthorn Overmind was instantly enlightened. If he followed Sheyan's instructions, then he wouldn't be violating their agreement! Mother Nature Eywa wouldn't be able to find any fault even if she wanted to. Furthermore, an additional base would mean an additional path of retreat!
Taking a step back, even if Mother Nature Eywa were to turn hostile, she wouldn't have the ability to directly attack. She could only rely on the beast horde to launch an assault. But if she wanted to amass a beast horde, she would definitely require sufficient preparation time. As long as he utilized a large number of Overlords to properly monitor the situation, he would at least be able to obtain an hour of buffer! Even if he had to temporarily construct structures, he would still be able to make it in time!
Expansion was an arachnid's nature and instinct. Thinking of that, the Blackthorn Overmind hurriedly inquired.
"Where is the place you speak of?"
Sheyan replied.
"It should be quite a distance from here. That place is called the 'Black Sands' … … even if you can use the Overlords to transport them by air, I still suggest you dispatch a troop to escort the drones there. To prevent any mishaps. Besides, the wild beasts of this world are extremely ferocious. "
The Blackthorn Overmind deeply agreed with Sheyan's words. Yet what he didn't know, was that Sheyan still had another sentence he left unsaid.
A straight line distance of less than 15 kilometres to the west of the Black Sands, was the location of the Mosake clan, the Windstone Highlands! If the zerglings sprinted with all their might, then 10 minutes would be enough! If he used the host to transport it, then the time would be reduced by at least half!
However, based on the current relationship between Sheyan and the Blackthorn, even if he wanted to make use of her, she wouldn't have any objections.
*****
Grey smoke billowed in the distance, and the sound of hooves thundered in the distance. All the birds in the forest were startled, and a large group of wild beasts were charging over from the horizon! On the plains that had been scorched by the sun for an entire day, clouds of gray smoke rose up! It rose into the air like a gray dragon and did not dissipate for a long time.
The setting sun cast long shadows of these vigorous beasts on the ground. If one was familiar with the creatures of planet Pandora, one would easily recognize that these were the most commonly seen 6 hooved creatures of the planet, known as the Direhorse.
Normally, a herd of Direhorses would at most number 50. Yet at present, this herd of Direhorses numbered at least 300-400. Within the herd of Direhorses, 7-8 blue-skinned Na'vi riders were sporadically distributed, carrying bows and arrows. Unlike the other Na'vi warriors, their necks were tied with a maroon band. This signified that these Na'vi warriors were affiliated with the Corrupt clan. It seems like this herd of Direhorses was artificially reared, similar to the herds of horses reared by herdsmen of the grasslands. This was also the reason why their scale was so massive.
Amidst the direhorses, there were two gigantic wild beasts that unhurriedly strode forward with swaying steps. One of them was the Sturmbeest, and it carried a cage that was over two meters tall on its back. The other wild beast's eyes flickered with radiance, like dark clouds nurturing lightning, concealing its savage emotions. The concave horn on its head appeared exceedingly bold and powerful. Instead, a Na'vi warrior with exceedingly distinct muscles rode on its back, lazily leaning against its gigantic horn as he rested.
This Na'vi warrior's muscles were exceedingly distinct, appearing like a cheetah that possessed ample agility and strength. He didn't carry a bow on his back, but instead hung two massive bone boomerangs on his waist. The ornaments hanging from the boomerangs seemed to be woven from the mane and hair of his prey. This Mosake clan Na'vi warrior didn't even lift his eyelids as he bluntly declared.
"Outsider, I've already fulfilled your wish. I respect your formidable killing prowess, but spurn your concealment and assassination style of battle! I'll give you one last chance. If you're willing to fight me face to face, then I'll consider burying you in the belly of my friend, allowing your soul to coexist with its formidable might. "
The one speaking was indeed the formidable Hammerhead-Titanothere rider, Authe. He was also one of the few legendary creature riders in the entire Mosake clan. Moreover, his words weren't a form of ridicule, but carried a sincerity and sincerity within. Just like those ancient China YY novels, heroes battled against heroes and appreciated each other. Therefore, letting you die in my hands is one matter.
Although allowing one's mount to devour the enemy's corpse may sound cruel, but in reality, there were similar customs in the present world. For example, the Tibetan Buddhist religion may sound incomparably sacred, but in reality, it was chopping up corpses and feeding them to birds … … .moreover, unless one was a major character, one would absolutely not be able to enjoy such treatment. However, this outsider obviously had his own plans. After pausing for a brief moment, he spoke with a hoarse voice.
"If you regret your previous promise to me, then you can come over and kill me right now. I definitely won't retaliate."
Authe snorted angrily, probably feeling as though his warm face had been plastered onto a cold chest. He then turned his head and remained silent. Instead, he shouted a few words to the Mosake clan na'vis beside him, brimming with fury. Those na'vis were instantly filled with fear, as they obediently urged their steeds forward.
Not a single cloud could be seen in the sky. The setting sun was akin to blood, and was still a long distance away from the horizon. High temperatures ruled the land, and the scorching air didn't have the slightest indication of flow. Following the galloping of the direhorses, the distant Crane's Orchid pasture was already within sight. The sensation it gave off was tranquility, like the deathly stillness of a tomb, and an intense stifling pressure.
The eyes of these direhorses weren't focused on the refreshing nectar of flowers. After galloping for a while, they couldn't wait to leap into the limpid river and frolic to their heart's content. When they entered the flowerfield, the original formation of the direhorses had already become disorderly. Some of the more irascible direhorses had even started colliding with each other, attempting to be the first to drink the water! At this moment, the human being locked up in the wooden cage suddenly frowned, and let out an incomparably astonished 'eh' sound! Yet he hesitated to speak!
As for those na'vis, they obviously wouldn't notice this abnormality. Because in their eyes, this outsider had already been categorized into the ranks of those who would soon perish. Yet when the direhorses halted, and started bathing in the river; playing with the water, the air suddenly reverberated with fine shattering noises!
These noises were originally extremely soft, but when thousands of similar noises converged together! That was a terrifying sound that directly shook one's heart!
From the dense forest on both sides of the flower field, shockingly at least 700 – 800 incomparably savage zerglings gushed out in a flash (2 zerglings = 1 person). Forming a perfect encirclement, they frenziedly pounced towards the fledgling Na'vi's and Ma'vi's! They bared their sharp fangs and claws, enjoying the joy and fanaticism of hunting! Even though every direhorse was several times the size of the zerglings, these herbivores still revealed fear and clumsiness in the face of such formidable battle creatures!
Suddenly ambushed by such a situation, Authe wasn't enraged but was instead overjoyed. He raised his head towards the sky and laughed wildly. Moreover, from the nostrils of his gigantic Hammerhead-Titanothere, a whooshing sound of excitement gushed out!
Just when Authe was about to raise his bone boomerang and hurl it out, the sand and rocks beneath the ground flew up. A tall and sturdy figure broke out from the ground, brandishing a black lightsaber as it ferociously pierced into the Hammerhead-Titanothere's chest! That gigantic legendary creature instantly released a pained and furious roar. The originally concave horn on its head was already curling with electric sparks, as it abruptly dissipated. Then, it abruptly turned around and roared.
Even though it was only the Hammerhead-Titanothere that was struck, but strangely, Authe actually furrowed his brows. He immediately turned around, as though his mount had met with a calamity, as though he could empathize with it. With a furious roar, he hurled his bone boomerang towards the person who popped out from behind!
The person who popped out from behind was naturally Reef. The trio had painstakingly schemed, yet they weren't willing to reap any benefits. (If they were attacked by the Blackthorn tribe's creatures, then the spoils of war would be greatly reduced to nothing). Therefore, as long as they followed their original plan, if Reef could withstand it, even if it was a simple one, there was still a possibility of exhausting this legendary creature Na'vi rider to death on the spot!
