"I don't know. I'll dig around and see where it's easier to dig," the Coiling Mountain Beast replied.
"Do you want me to dig up more for you today?" Shadow Wolf asked.
"Um..."
The Coiling Mountain Beast pondered for a moment and said:
"Okay, please! If I don't find enough, then this will be a good supplement. If I do find a lot, we can find a way to hide the extra Dull Star Stone so we can dig less tomorrow!"
"Hmm." Shadow Wolf nodded.
"In that case, I'm leaving!" said the Coiling Mountain Beast.
"Um."
Shadow Wolf replied.
It paused, watching the figure begin to walk away into the distance, as if remembering something, and reminded it:
"Be careful, don't go near those level Third Tier adults, or they might attack you!"
"Yes, I understand!"
A response came, and the figure slowly walked into the darkness.
Shadow Wolf stood there for a while, then slowly turned his gaze back to the rock wall in front of him.
"Yes, I need to try harder!"
"Clang! Clang!..."
The knocking sound started from the spot and spread outwards.
On the other side.
Shen Heng walked down the mine tunnel.
Along the way, occasionally, Calamity Beast would hear the noise and look at him with suspicion.
However, after only a brief glance, he looked away again.
It's not surprising that there are Calamity Beast roaming inside the mine; after all, everyone wants to find a place where they can better meet their targets.
This situation is even more common when new Calamity Beast are captured and brought in to mine.
Therefore, they didn't sense anything strange.
Shen Heng paid them no heed and continued down the mine tunnel according to the map in his mind.
After about ten minutes, his pace suddenly slowed down slightly.
In their field of vision, a Sickle-Claw Beast looked over upon hearing the noise, then... withdrew its gaze and continued mining.
Shen Heng walked forward as if nothing had happened.
However, his peripheral vision remained fixed on the Sickle-Claw Beast.
"The first one, out of five..."
He opened his mouth, and a very low, barely perceptible voice was heard.
"... affected... the situation at the time... that name... cannot be said..."
"... affected... the situation at the time..."
"..."
After repeating this several times to confirm that the other party would immediately connect the dots once they regained consciousness, Shen Heng increased his speed again.
He moved forward quickly, following the map in his mind.
Soon, a second one, a third one...
The roads inside the mine are intricate, but not to the point where it would take an hour or two to walk through.
Especially for Shen Heng, who is capable of modeling, there are many places he doesn't need to visit in person.
Of course, it's not so easy for ordinary Calamity Beast.
If you want to go up or down, it's quite simple; just keep walking in that direction.
But traversing every path in the mine is not so easy.
This is also why some Calamity Beast will choose to venture deeper into the mine when the mining volume is insufficient.
They genuinely believed that this might allow them to evade the detection of the monitoring Black Rat.
However, none of this has anything to do with Shen Heng.
He kept walking forward.
Soon, her steps faltered slightly, but she continued forward as if she hadn't noticed anything.
Ahead, a Steel-Mane Bear that had been sitting on the ground deep in thought immediately began to pant upon hearing the noise.
It was panting as it turned its head to look in the direction from which the commotion was coming.
Soon, a figure became clear in the darkness.
"What does this guy do? Is he allowed to move around freely while mining in the mine?"
Steel-Mane Bear thought to himself, his gaze silently fixed on the figure that was quickly walking past him.
Its gaze followed the object for a moment before it looked away.
"Forget about that, I need to figure out what's going on first. What's going on in this world? And what about those Black Rat that are monitoring it? If I don't mine, will I...?"
Have any of the Calamity Beast already awakened? Did they notice something and then wake up? Or is it that the time for their influence is approaching?
Several thoughts raced through his mind, but Shen Heng continued walking forward without stopping.
Regardless, as long as the awakened Calamity Beast doesn't utter the name ' Jörmungandr ' on its own, triggering the adaptation event again will be fine.
Soon, he found the fifth one, which was also the last of the Calamity Beast that had suddenly appeared that morning and hadn't caused any trouble.
After instilling the same subconscious idea, Shen Heng changed direction and headed straight down into the mine.
After a while, he paused slightly, then adjusted his direction and headed towards another mine tunnel.
A moment later, a huge black figure slowly walked up from below the mine tunnel and passed by.
After a while, Shen Heng finally stopped near the bottom of the mine.
He didn't move forward; instead, he just stood there.
In my mind, a Tier 3 Shadow Wolf was digging downwards ahead, huffing and puffing.
"Has Stone not woken up yet?"
Shen Heng sensed the figure in his mind.
He thought for a moment and decided not to disturb them, but instead began digging his own mine on the spot.
Soon, another half hour had passed.
Just as Shen Heng was pondering whether he would not wake up if there were no other factors or he noticed anything, the sounds in his ears suddenly slowed down, becoming slower and slower.
"Something feels... off?"
A questioning voice came from ahead.
Are you awake? Judging by the time, it's been about two hours?
Shen Heng pondered for a moment, then looked up.
The triple weakening of his abilities, rank, and spirit, coupled with the large number of Calamity Beast mixed above, made it impossible for him to directly lock onto those few Calamity Beast above.
Otherwise, we can directly judge the impact of the previous adaptation on these alien organisms based on their situation.
Of course, it's still possible to make a judgment, but it requires moving closer to them, which will be a bit more complicated.
Of course, we still have to go up there, but now...
Shen Heng lowered his gaze and looked ahead.
Now, let's go over and briefly explain the situation to the Stone, just in case it causes any trouble later.
Thinking this, Shen Heng lifted his leg and walked forward.
However, before he had taken more than a few steps, his figure suddenly stopped in the mine tunnel.
Then, after a moment's hesitation...
He turned around and slammed his palm down on the rock wall in front of him.
"Clang!"
Before the beast's claws could even lift, its gaze fell upon the forelimbs covering the rock face.
A few lines of text came into his view.
1. You are human, not Calamity Beast.
2. This is a fake world.
3,...'
