Chapter 2840 Disappearing
"There's one more thing I need to report, sir."
"Go ahead."
"We compared the current energy field in the psychic mining area with that from five hours ago, and we found that the energy field intensity has dropped by one-third."
Zoran's expression changed slightly.
"Impossible!"
From the energy reaction of the ore in the mining area, its reserves were far greater than any previously mined.
Even if the entire mining area consisted of high-concentration crystals, which are very easy to mine, the energy reaction should not have dropped so drastically in such a short amount of time.
The biggest question was, how did they manage the transportation?
The energy fluctuations did not disappear for no reason!
Zoran said in a low voice, "Continue observing."
"Yes! Understood!"
...
From dusk to dawn.
An entire night passed.
The Bone-Eating Fungal Ants continued to launch relentless attacks on the desert.
The Licker groups relentlessly slaughtered.
The corpses piled up in rows on the desert became obstacles for the advancing ant groups. After being devoured by the rear ants, the corpses continued to be used as fuel for further attacks.
The terrifying mutant worms!
A whole night of fearless charging.
The desert mutant worms were equally terrifying, slaughtering frantically throughout the entire night!
Wayne and his subordinate team tirelessly sorted the ore throughout the night.
They were exhausted to the point of collapse.
Finally, when the sun rose again, the ore sorting work was temporarily completed.
"The sorting work is temporarily finished. Thank you all. You can rest now until Mr. Fang issues new instructions."
The players raised their heads to look at Arkley, who spoke, their faces somewhat dazed.
Huh? It's over?
Great...
Finally, a chance to rest.
After sorting continuously through the afternoon and night, the players were mentally numb.
Wayne, physically and mentally exhausted, stood up with the help of his subordinates from a small stool, regretting it in his heart.
Why had he angered Fang Heng for no reason?
Wayne's lips curled in bitterness as he glanced at the scanning device. His eyes suddenly showed a look of astonishment.
The energy reactions in the entire mining area had dropped significantly.
What was going on?
The energy reactions had dropped to less than one-tenth of the initial amount.
In just one night, the mining area had actually been completely mined out!?
They had only done the sorting work; the rest—digging, collecting, transporting, transferring, refining, etc...
Had Mr. Fang taken care of all of it?
Wayne couldn't help but look toward the center of the forest, his eyes filled with shock.
There were too many things he couldn't understand.
At the edge of the desert, on a cliff, Joachim and a few subordinates had spent the entire night waiting, enduring the cold wind.
One of the mercenary group's trusted men once again lowered his head to check the data on the scanning device. With concern in his heart, he couldn't help but whisper, "Boss, we..."
Joachim raised his hand to interrupt, saying, "Don't you find this interesting?"
"Hmm?"
"I admit, Fang Heng is very capable. He can control the mutant worms in the desert through some method we haven't figured out yet. He can even mine the ores quickly and has used some method to cover up the fluctuations in the ore..." Joachim coldly gazed at the distant center of the desert and continued, "But all of this is in vain."
"The Bone-Eating Fungal Ants seem to be blocked by the desert mutant worms, but did you notice? Right now, the entire desert region is completely locked down by the Bone-Eating Fungal Ants. I'm really curious how they plan to escape from so many ant groups."
One of his subordinates looked toward the distant desert.
At the desert's edge, piles of mutant worm corpses had accumulated, causing even more ant groups to be blocked behind.
Now, the entire desert was tightly surrounded by the Bone-Eating Fungal Ants!
Not a single person could escape, let alone transport any materials out.
The subordinate immediately said, "Boss, you're brilliant!"
Meanwhile, deep within the iron mine.
Fang Heng clenched the spirit gemstones in his hand, one by one slowly cracking and turning to dust.
[Hint: The player's zombie clone (transformed body) kills the Bone-Eating Fungal Ant, player gains battlefield contribution points +82.]
[Hint: The player gains master level psychic experience points 2990...]
[Hint: The player's zombie clone (transformed body) kills Bone-Eating Fungal Ant...]
[Hint: The player's current master level psychic skill level rises to maximum level.]
Fang Heng opened his eyes again.
Done!
Absorbing psychic energy involves the sea of consciousness and cannot be done through the zombie clone; it requires personal absorption.
Fortunately, the absorption efficiency of the S-level spirit gemstones is very high. After one night, he had absorbed enough.
Fang Heng got up and checked the game hints.
Huh?
Why did his battlefield contribution points suddenly increase so much?
It was only then that Fang Heng noticed the large number of kill notifications on his retina.
What was going on with these Bone-Eating Fungal Ants?
How did he gain so many contribution points out of nowhere?
It seemed like this started happening after his retreat yesterday, with contributions constantly piling up.
That was good news.
He had been quite far from getting the grandmaster level advancement book.
Even after a whole night of Licker kills, he had gained over a hundred million contribution points.
Free stuff, why not take it?
However, the entire mining area had already been emptied, and there were not many spirit gemstones left for cultivation. Even if he converted all of them into contribution points, it wouldn't be enough to buy the grandmaster-level psychic advancement book.
He would have to find another place to mine.
Thinking about this, Fang Heng stood up, leaped out from the center of the mining area, and called for everyone to gather to discuss the next course of action.
"Mr. Fang."
Although he hadn't gone offline the entire day yesterday, Zaka was an old player, and overseeing the work was easier than sorting ores, so he was still in good condition.
When everyone had gathered, Zaka quickly reported on the mining area's situation: "We've successfully completed the mining and refining process, but we encountered some trouble during the process."
"Is it related to the Bone-Eating Fungal Ants?"
"Yes, yesterday we found infected worms in the forest..."
Zaka quickly recounted the encounter with the Bone-Eating Fungal Ants outside the desert and continued, "Now, all our external routes are blocked, and a large number of combat shovels can't be delivered."
Fang Heng listened thoughtfully, stroking his chin.
"Infected worms... pheromones..."
Good stuff!
Wasn't this the perfect tool for monster farming?
Before he went into seclusion for cultivation, he had issued a command for the Licker groups to protect the advancement zones around the desert's edges, which led to the current situation of being seemingly surrounded.
Given the strength of the Lickers, dealing with the Bone-Eating Fungal Ants was no problem at all.
If he could gather more pheromones, wouldn't that speed up the monster farming?
But there was no need to rush.
For now, he would focus on gathering elite energy to max out his psychic skills.
Su Guantong said, "Fang Heng, we suspect someone is secretly targeting us, intentionally injecting pheromones into Wayne's subordinates to cause the mutant worm creatures to attack the mining area."
