Shen Heng's gaze lingered on Weeping Cypress Demon's corpse, but he did not reply immediately.
"It would be great if we had something like a spatial ring," Zhou Xuan said as he walked over.
He had experienced this firsthand when he explored the entire Erosion Zone before.
Everything has to be carried on your back, which makes it impossible to carry too much stuff.
"You think this is a TV drama? We're giving you a spatial ring!" Wang Hu grinned.
"But it's so far away, it's really inconvenient to take it with me except through a spatial ring!" Zhou Xuan clicked his tongue.
This time, Wang Hu didn't refute, and looked at Shen Heng.
"You had other teams cut up valuable materials from the Calamity Beast, is there some method involved? We can't possibly carry them to the next Anchor Point, can we? What if we finish dealing with the next Anchor Point? We can't carry them all the way there, can we?"
"Keep the Origin Crystal with you. Bury the rest somewhere along the way, and we can dig them up later when we have time," Shen Heng said calmly.
As he spoke, the armor on his body receded like flowing water.
"That's one way!" Zhou Xuan nodded from the side.
Beside him, Wang Hu's gaze followed the Fluid Battle Armor and retreated to Shen Heng's wrist.
"What kind of armor is that?" Wang Hu asked.
I didn't realize it when I first saw it, but now that I see Shen Heng taking off his armor in front of me, I remember that Shen Heng wasn't wearing armor before!
" Fluid Battle Armor, from the Martial World Easy Exchange!" Shen Heng glanced at Wang Hu indifferently.
Wang Hu nodded and looked away.
Then, he turned his head and glanced at the black gauntlet on Shen Heng's hand, then again, and then again...
Soon, the group began to deal with the corpse of the Weeping Cypress Demon.
"By the way, Captain, how were you able to affect Weeping Cypress Demon just now? Were you holding back?" Zhou Xuan quietly approached Shen Heng.
Shen Heng glanced at Zhou Xuan and said, "No."
"Then how did you influence the Weeping Cypress Demon?" Zhou Xuan asked, his eyes widening slightly.
In the end, he exerted all his strength, but he just couldn't have any more effect on Weeping Cypress Demon.
"I changed my approach; I didn't use Sound Wave Attack in the end," Shen Heng said.
"Not Sound Wave Attack?"
"Um."
What is that?
"It's more like Torrent of Sound," Shen Heng explained calmly.
"I sent all the surrounding sounds—the wind, explosions, roars, battle sounds, and so on—to Weeping Cypress Demon's ears."
"For a short period of time, its brain will be overwhelmed by a massive amount of sound, causing it to fall into a brief state of dazedness."
"It's like you're playing games at home and suddenly you find yourself hearing sounds from the market all around you. You'd instinctively feel bewildered, wondering where you are and what you're hearing."
Is that so?
Zhou Xuan nodded, slightly realizing what was happening.
"Break this piece off!"
Shen Heng to a piece of wrinkled bark that had been cut off at his feet, then walked to the other side.
Zhou Xuan subconsciously walked over and started prying at it, his mind still pondering the question from earlier.
So, what is this Torrent of Sound" really? It's basically stuffing a huge amount of information into someone's brain, causing them to "crash" or "malfunction."
This... seems pretty strong!
Zhou Xuan's eyes grew brighter with each thought, and he turned to ask again:
"Why haven't I seen you use it before?"
Shen Heng glanced at Zhou Xuan, seemingly understanding what he was thinking, and said:
"It didn't work as well as you expected!"
"Well..."
Zhou Xuan opened his mouth slightly, but before he could speak, he heard Shen Heng continue:
"I can only transmit the sound; I can't force the other person to listen to it."
"In this situation, even if one is initially stunned by the sudden influx of sounds, the biological instinct will quickly allow them to filter out those sounds and focus on more relevant information."
"In other words, even without external influences, the affected organisms will recover on their own after a while."
"And if there are external factors, especially life-threatening ones, the time it takes to come to their senses will be even faster."
"I see!" Zhou Xuan clicked his tongue with some regret. "If we could really force it to listen, wouldn't we be invincible?!"
"I want to too."
Shen Heng replied indifferently.
He had thought of the relevant moves a long time ago, but due to what he just said, he couldn't force the other party to listen to his voice, so he had to abandon them.
but...
Shen Heng 'Shen Heng hand, which was cutting the bark of the tree, paused slightly.
In the future, perhaps we could try using our abilities to implant a behavioral tendency in the other person's mind, making them listen to those voices?
Hmm... It's manageable at lower levels, but at the same level, this tendency will probably only delay things for a while longer...
With this thought in mind, Shen Heng's hand holding the knife moved once again.
Outside the valley, in the woods.
The One-Horned Lizard was carrying seven or eight crystals in its mouth as it ran at full speed.
"Ha, I knew those two-legged worms were prepared before they came. Weeping Cypress Demon Yao really can't beat them!"
"Hmm, I shouldn't get punished if I take these back with me!"
"You've worked so hard, you should charge yourself something. Just one, two, three, no, four, please!"
"Then, when you go back, it's best not to be completely unharmed like now. It would be better to inflict some wounds on yourself along the way..."
With a few thoughts lingering, the One-Horned Lizard lizard quickly disappeared into the forest.
Night, somewhere in the mountains.
The faint firelight illuminated one figure after another.
"... That's roughly the allocation plan. Does anyone have any objections?"
After speaking, Shen Heng slowly glanced at the other seven figures sitting around the campfire.
The distribution of post-war spoils was not discussed with every inspector, but rather with representatives sent by each squad.
Of course, this representative is usually the team leader.
The team leaders glanced at Wang Hu and the others, and seeing that they seemed to have no objections, they remained silent.
After a while, the members of the Seventh Advance Team team returned.
"So, how much will we get?" Zhou Xuan asked curiously as soon as he arrived.
"Probably no one has a single Fourth Tier Origin Crystal," Shen Heng said calmly.
"One Fourth Tier Origin Crystal per night," Zhou Xuan tilted his head slightly, "That's almost as much as the first time the Calamity Beast attacked the base, right?"
"Is that so!" Shen Heng nodded slightly.
"If only it could be like this every day!" Zhou Xuan grinned and exclaimed.
Upon hearing this, Zheng Guomin retorted:
"Don't overthink it. You think the Calamity Beast..."
Shen Heng glanced at them, then turned his head slightly.
Han Ling sat on the side, staring into the distance, slightly lost in thought.
Shen Heng followed Han Ling's gaze and saw that many people in the distance also had joy on their faces.
This was indeed the most Origin Crystal they had obtained in a short period of time in recent times.
Moreover, it is foreseeable that this will happen several more times.
"What's wrong?" Shen Heng asked in a low voice.
Han Ling snapped out of her reverie, glanced at Shen Heng, and then gently shook her head.
"No, it's just that things have been going a little too smoothly lately!"
