The apocalyptic livestream attracted a lot of haters, alarming the government.

Looking at the dagger that had been knocked away, Hans swallowed hard, still feeling a lingering fear.

Ye Xiao's gaze turned cold as he warned, "I've said before, don't act rashly. I don't want this situation to happen again!"

Hans silently lowered his head and carefully picked up the dagger from the ground.

William patted Hans on the shoulder, then walked to Ye Xiao's side, scanned the crystal clusters in the canyon, and asked:

"Could these crystal clusters be living things?"

Ye Xiao nodded. "Now it seems so. When I used my mental energy to explore this place before, the feeling was very blurry, but I could vaguely sense something. It seems that it is because of the peculiar shapes of the creatures here."

Boris frowned and stared at some nearby crystal clusters for a while, then said, "They don't seem to be going to attack on their own!"

Ye Xiao didn't draw a conclusion, but said, "It's best not to let our guard down. Lu Zhao, go and test the waters!"

As he spoke, Ye Xiao opened the shop, bought a pickaxe, and threw it at Lu Zhao.

Lu Zhao caught the tossed pickaxe and walked toward the nearest crystal cluster.

Golden scales began to attach to Lu Zhao's arms and body. He carefully approached the crystal cluster, examined it closely, and then suddenly raised the pickaxe in his hand and struck it down.

when!

A crisp sound rang out instantly, echoing through the valley.

The sound of the pickaxe colliding with the crystal cluster echoed through the valley.

Rumble!

In an instant, the entire valley trembled, and the crystal clusters in the crevices began to tremble, as if they had all been awakened.

"Ah oh!"

Yin Yue sighed and glanced at Lu Zhao.

Lu Zhao gave everyone an awkward smile, "No, sorry! I used too much force!"

With a tremor, the crystal clusters rose from the stone wall.

Only then did everyone realize that beneath the crystal cluster was a body and four legs formed from solidified stone, along with two eyes that looked like gemstones.

Raphises exclaimed in astonishment, "This, this is a living being?"

Ye Xiao said, "Every world has its unique ecosystem, so don't be surprised!"

"Boss!" White Fox crouched down, ready to strike at any moment, watching the rumbling crystal cluster monsters converging on them.

"They're coming!"

Everyone became alert and raised their weapons, ready to fight. Ye Xiao looked at the swarming crystal cluster monsters, suddenly raised his hand, and then pressed down.

In an instant, the swarming crystalline monsters were suddenly suppressed to the ground by a tremendous force.

With a loud bang, the crystal clusters seemed to have been slammed to the ground, kicking up a large cloud of snow dust.

The immense gravitational field forced the crystal cluster monsters to the ground, unable to move, leaving Boris and his companions stunned and wide-eyed.

They could sense that the space ahead was being distorted, and a powerful force field had already occupied the canyon in front of them.

“This is…” Boris hurriedly looked at Lu Zhao to the side, waiting for the other party’s answer.

Lu Zhao explained, "It's a gravity field!"

"Gravity field?"

Leo gasped, and Alexander spoke quietly:

"That Smith guy should be glad he didn't fight Ye Xiao, otherwise he wouldn't know how embarrassed he would have been!"

Ye Xiao beckoned to one of the crystal clusters with his finger, and the crystal cluster immediately flew out of the gravity field and hovered in front of Ye Xiao.

Curious, he grabbed the top of the crystal cluster, turned it around, examined it carefully, and then threw it at Lu Zhao behind him.

"Lu Zhao, knock on it and take a look!"

Lu Zhao tossed the pickaxe in his hand, then immediately raised it and smashed it down on the crystal cluster in front of him.

With a snap, as he struck with all his might, a broken crystal fell from the crystal cluster monster.

The crystal cluster monster immediately began to move its stone-like limbs and soon darted toward the stone wall.

Lu Zhao handed the crystal block to Ye Xiao, saying, "The energy inside this thing is somewhat similar to that of a crystal core!"

Ye Xiao nodded, raised his hand to touch his chin, and observed the crystal cluster monsters in front of him. The crystal cluster monsters outside the gravity field seemed to have sensed the power of the gravity field and scattered back to the stone wall and corners.

"These things have extremely hard stone bodies, but they are very timid! Could this crystal be regenerable?"

Upon hearing this, William was startled and quickly asked with delight, "Rebirth? What do you mean?"

Ye Xiao said, "You all know Smith's skills, right? He can condense crystals. Although the crystals he condenses are different from these, it means that the crystals of these crystal cluster monsters are like turtle shells, part of their bodies."

"If collected properly, they should be able to regenerate!"

At this point, Ye Xiao deactivated the gravity field, and the crystal cluster monsters immediately scattered and fled, rushing towards the corner.

The several huge crystal clusters in the far corner are probably quite large, but their movement is likely very slow. To some extent, these crystal clusters are also a burden to these crystal cluster monsters.

Lassis said impatiently, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's collect some crystals and take them back!"

Lan Ling looked at Lassis with a hint of helplessness and said, "Didn't you guys understand what our boss said?"

William, who was also planning to capture a few crystal cluster monsters, asked in surprise, "What do you mean?"

Lan Ling glanced at him, "Since they can regenerate, of course they can't be killed!"

However, at this moment, White Fox and Lu Zhao exchanged a tacit glance. In fact, there was another meaning behind Ye Xiao's words, which probably wasn't just theirs; Boris and the others, whose eyes were shining, had also realized it.

These crystal cluster monsters must have some kind of mechanism or environment that allows them to continuously grow this kind of ability crystal clusters. If we find out the mechanism and raise them, wouldn't we be able to have a continuous supply of crystals?

Ye Xiao waved his hand at the crowd and said, "Ignore these crystal clusters, don't touch them, let's keep going!"

The group followed Ye Xiao forward. Ye Xiao would sometimes lean close to the stone wall to examine it carefully, and sometimes he would squat down to carefully check the riverbed under his feet.

After a long period of exploration, everyone's stomachs were growling with hunger.

They hadn't reached the end of the narrow canyon yet, so Ye Xiao found a more spacious place for everyone to rest.

Boris and his companions were worrying about food when William said, "Why don't we go look for some strange beasts nearby and kill one to fill our stomachs?"

"Need not!"

Ye Xiao interrupted the others and began taking out various pots, pans, and even a gas stove.

To everyone's astonishment, Lu Zhao and his companions had already quickly set up the pot and even poured water, ready to start cooking.

Ye Xiao tossed a pile of ingredients onto the ground and said, "We'll have hot pot for lunch, no objections?"

"..."

The group shook their heads silently and sat down around them, stunned.

Ignoring their stunned expressions, Ye Xiao said, "We don't know the situation here yet. If we eat wild game here, the smell of blood might attract other strange beasts."

William's expression twisted with rage as he whispered to Lan Ling beside him:

"Is that the important point, Ran? Your captain, is he perhaps Doraemon?"
