Clearly, the benefit of the tremendous noise generated by the forced landing was that it scared away nearby fauna, but the drawback was that it might also attract creatures confident in their own strength. Thus, Fang Senyan needed to act fast.

He first opened the hatch and ejected the three androids, folded neatly like suits, from the cabin. Then, he administered a high-energy protein injection to each one.

The substance rapidly filled the dehydrated muscle fibers of the androids. Their eyes snapped open, and they weakly extended their arms to grab nearby canteens, drinking large quantities of clear water.

Soon, the three androids stood upright, appearing as saturated as sponges. During their transport state, their internal water content was below 15%, and their brains were fully supplied with hibernation fluids.

Now, after rehydration, their water levels approximated that of a human at 70%, making them visually indistinguishable from people. “Master, what do you require of us?” The leading android, Unit 1, stepped forward respectfully.

Fang Senyan gestured toward the cargo bay: “Take out the equipment inside, and figure out how to conceal our ship… Oh, and first, hand me the portable scanner!” “Yes, Master.” When Unit 1 presented the portable scanner to Fang Senyan, his eyes widened with excitement! The screen on the device was faintly glowing green, indicating that, by external standards, the element Thorium was practically ubiquitous here, even in areas that would be considered barren mineral deposits elsewhere—rich enough to mine.

However, when Fang Senyan adjusted the concentration index upward, the faint green light vanished. This meant that within a ten-kilometer radius, there were no medium-grade Thorium veins, which was within Fang Senyan's expectations.

If the better Thorium deposits were that easy to find, why would his group even be here? The wide range of the detector was both a blessing and a curse.

The good news was the increased detection radius, which certainly aided in locating deposits. The bad news was that the portable scanner, constrained by its size, couldn't provide precise localization.

Once it lit up, it meant they would have to comb every inch of the ten-kilometer area to pinpoint the exact location of the vein… That was no small task. Fang Senyan set the three androids to work, confident in their efficiency—they possessed the obedience of the Japanese, the physique of the Americans, the meticulousness of the Germans, combined with the creativity of the Chinese.

Meanwhile, Fang Senyan had a more critical task. He dug a pit in the damp earth, soil so moist it seemed ready to drip, and began pouring in cultivation agents.

This time, the four vials of agents he added were extracted from two incredibly robust German Shepherds and two massive, enraged wild boars weighing over five hundred kilograms. These two animal types possessed the combined traits of agility and power; their shared characteristic was an astonishingly acute sense of smell.

Yes, in this kind of dense terrain, Fang Senyan felt that the nose was often more reliable than the eyes or ears. While the Carbon-Based Lifeform Detector Type III he acquired in the last world would be perfectly suited for this, this wasn't Earth; it was the Predator's playground, a hunting zone.

Being overly reliant on that device and being ambushed by silicon- or sulfur-based lifeforms would be utterly devastating. Therefore, Fang Senyan needed to quickly forge his own helper, creating a dual safeguard that complemented his own detector through superior olfactory senses.

That was the optimal solution. After burying the cultivation agents, Fang Senyan reluctantly poured the milky-white nutrient solution over them.

This substance cost close to five hundred Universal Credits per gram to synthesize! Although it had an accelerated hatching effect, Fang Senyan would have let it incubate naturally had he not been surrounded by peril.

As the nutrient solution seeped into the soil, the surrounding vegetation began to rapidly wither, creating a massive black circle spanning at least ten square meters. Then, the soil within that circle quickly became barren and dry, resembling the cracked surface of a dried-up riverbed exposed to the scorching sun.

Immediately following this, the ground within the black circle rapidly swelled upward, forming a massive mound. During this mounding process, immense root-like structures could be seen snaking outwards in all directions—this was the process of data collection from the surrounding environment, allowing the hatching creature to evolve in a targeted manner.

Then, a monster over two and a half meters tall issued a grunting snort and crawled out of the dirt. Likely due to the larger initial mass of the wild boar, this monstrous pig exhibited distinct features: a huge snout and face, but on the back of its head grew stiff, steel-needle-like cyan bristles.

Its thick outer hide naturally formed a formidable armor protecting its vital points. However, a temporary crystal seemed to have condensed between its brows, adding a touch of mystique to its savage and frenzied aura.

Upon appearing, this behemoth snapped a nearby tree in half and, in just a few strokes, fashioned it into a crude staff. It was evident that while this object vaguely resembled a staff and emitted faint elemental fluctuations, its primary function was likely brute-force combat.

This was exactly the type Fang Senyan desired: a large brute akin to a Shaman, possessing auxiliary abilities, sufficient toughness, and formidable melee capabilities. This creature approached Fang Senyan like a small hill, knelt, and kissed the top of his boot.

“Master, what do you require of me?” Fang Senyan first made the behemoth remain kneeling, then blew a sharp whistle. “Unit 1!

What time is it now?” Unit 1 immediately responded: “If you are asking for the local time on Eplos, it is currently four o’clock in the afternoon.” (This site... Your support is my greatest motivation.).RT
