Chapter 1436: It Seems Like the One-Eyed Species Aren't Very Smart, Huh?

The One-Eyed species looked exactly like in the pictures Jiang Tianchen had shown him before!
Three meters tall, their bodies were packed with explosive muscles!
Their skin was a grayish-blue, covered in lightning-bolt-shaped magical runes!
Their ears were pointed, and their head shapes were unusually ferocious! A single eye occupying one-third of their face was exceptionally striking!
Right now, a full ten thousand One-Eyed species stood neatly at the edge of the pit!
They knelt on the ground at a 45° angle, leaning their upper bodies back, arms spread wide, their single pupils staring directly at the sun!
The lightning-shaped runes on their bodies emitted a faint blue light!
It looked like they were holding some kind of evil ritual!
And the direction they knelt toward was exactly where Jiangnan's crater was!
Jiangnan: (⁎⁍̴̛ᴗ⁍̴̛⁎) "I just came to the moon, you know? Is it necessary to kneel down and welcome me as a group? Should I give them some big red envelopes or something?"
Li Bing rolled her eyes and reached out to knock on Jiangnan's helmet!
"You're the only one with that kind of face. God, it's a kneeling welcome for you? Isn't it some kind of sacrificial ritual or something?"
They had no understanding of the One-Eyed species' habits at all!
In the main control hall, Jiang Tianchen, Yang Jian, and the others were watching the same scene through David's camera!
Jiang Tianchen's expression was serious: "I guess this is a way for the One-Eyed species to replenish their energy!"
"They don't need to eat or drink, but they still need an energy source. Are they absorbing the energy radiating from the star? Replenishing themselves?"
"Look at the other One-Eyed species?"
In the huge Yueyan pit, One-Eyed species were constantly climbing out of it, covered in gray dust!
Their eyes were almost closed, leaving only a slit, their faces full of exhaustion!
They quickly ran to the side, knelt down facing the sun, spread their arms wide, and the lightning runes on their bodies began to flash!
And some One-Eyed species would stand up, their eyes only half-open, turn around, and head back down into the mine pit. Everything was orderly!
Alice tilted her head: (•︠~•︡O) "Is it because sunlight can't reach the bottom of Yueyan, so when the One-Eyed species use up their energy, they need to come out and recharge?"
"Then go back down after recharging? Like how humans need to eat, drink, and sleep when they're tired?"
Jiangnan was stunned: (•'口'•۶)۶ "Damn? So the One-Eyed species are solar-powered?"
Yang Jian's eyes narrowed: "A constantly burning star radiates a huge amount of energy into the universe at all times!"
"It's the source of life. The food we eat, when traced back to its origin, is still the sun's energy, just through a series of complex conversions, it turns into food!"
"Did the One-Eyed species just skip this step and directly obtain stellar energy?"
Just then, Jiangnan's eyes suddenly turned into the shape of money!
٩(¥﹃¥๑٩) "Look, isn't that Origin Spark that the One-Eyed species are carrying on their backs?"
Many One-Eyed species were crawling out of the mine pit, carrying 3m by 3m cubes of blue gemstone on their backs!
They emitted a faint blue light, containing astonishing energy!
Alice was overjoyed: (*⁰̷̴͈⌄⁰̷̴͈) "Yes, yes! And it's not associated ore, it's real Origin Stone Marrow! The kind on the Origin Staff!"
All of it in one piece?
Remember, on the Origin Staff, a piece the size of a pigeon egg had already caused a bunch of Dao Heaven experts to gather and fight!
And the piece this One-Eyed species carried out of Yueyan was worth who knows how many Origin Staffs!
The One-Eyed species that dug out the Origin Spark transported the items to a building near Yueyan that looked like a warehouse!
Li Bing swallowed hard: "The Origin Spark was dug out from Yueyan? So Yueyan is a mine pit?"
Jiangnan drooled: "I don't know about anything else, I only know that warehouse must be full of Origin Spark!"
Excited, Jiangnan wanted to teleport into the warehouse right then and there and pull off a big heist!
But Li Bing quickly pulled him back: "Hey hey hey! Do you want to die?"
"How many One-Eyed species are guarding the warehouse? What if they're really powerful?"
"Sigh~ Look! They seem to be about to transfer the Origin Spark!"
A thousand One-Eyed species walked out of the warehouse, each carrying a piece of Origin Spark on their back!
They all had their eyes half-open, looking listless!
But the next moment, the One-Eyed species' legs turned into blurs as they sprinted in one direction at an astonishing speed!
The movement was just like a ninja run, except they weren't swinging their arms; they were carrying Origin Spark on their backs!
They kicked up a trail of thick dust!
Jiangnan's mouth fell open: ∑(°口°๑) "No way? The One-Eyed species' technology doesn't seem very advanced, huh?"
"They're transporting it by foot? Where are they going?"
Jiang Tianchen observed the general direction of the transport team through the lunar network's Heavenly Eye satellite!
"They should be heading back to the city outpost at the Kilax crater!"
Jiangnan grinned, staring at the Origin Spark the transport team was carrying, his eyes gleaming!
(๑•̀◠•́)و✧ "Let's go! Get in the car! Rob them!"
Chen Daoyi: ???
So the first thing to do after successfully landing on the moon and setting up the base is to go rob someone?
The lunar rover raced toward the One-Eyed transport team!
They hung far behind, and with Jiang Tianchen constantly relaying information, there was no fear of losing them!
Once the transport team was far from the Aikentuocrater without alerting the One-Eyed species at Yueyan, Jiangnan decided to make his move!
"You drive. I'll be right back!"
With that, he vanished from the driver's seat!
Li Bing: !!!
Startled, she hurriedly climbed from the passenger seat to the driver's seat and grabbed the steering wheel!
Jiangnan teleported rapidly, completely hidden in the dust kicked up behind the transport team!
(Oಡωಡ) "Hehehe~ Let me pick one to deal with first!"
His gaze locked onto the purple-haired One-Eyed species at the back of the team!
This guy had his eyes half-open, head down, just running!
"Space Wormhole•Time Corridor!"
Without alerting the transport team, Jiangnan suddenly opened a Space Wormhole in front of the purple-haired One-Eyed species!
The purple-haired One-Eyed species charged straight into it!
And Jiangnan set the exit right behind the wormhole entrance!
So the One-Eyed species that came out of the exit immediately charged headfirst back into the entrance!
It began an infinite loop. In just a second, it might have cycled seven or eight times!
Moon dust was kicked up everywhere, but the purple-haired One-Eyed species didn't seem to notice!
It kept running with its head down, like a tireless running machine!
By now, the transport team had long since run off, not noticing they'd lost one member!
Jiangnan watched this scene, his mouth twitching!
These One-Eyed species really didn't seem too smart, huh?
But to be safe, Jiangnan opened another pair of Space Wormholes and slapped the purple-haired One-Eyed species on the shoulder!
Leaving a Spatial Mark!
Then, with a Mark Teleportation, he vanished, and the Time Corridor disappeared as well!
The purple-haired One-Eyed species tilted its head to look at its shoulder, found nothing unusual!
It was about to keep running, but then its pace suddenly slowed!
It looked ahead in confusion!
Where did the team go?
...
With a Mark Teleportation, Jiangnan suddenly appeared back in the cockpit!
Li Bing, who was driving, was suddenly jolted up and landed right in Jiangnan's lap!
Li Bing: ???
She let out a scream and struggled!
(ง⋟﹏⋞)ง "Don't just teleport back randomly! It's very scary, you know? Get off me now!"
She told me to drive, and now he's back? What kind of nonsense is this?
Jiangnan's face darkened. He had marked the seat earlier and forgot about it!
(・᷄ὢ・᷅) "Quick quick! Stop the car! Caught one! Get ready to capture it!"
Everyone was startled and quickly did a drift and brake!
They'd only been out for a moment and already caught one?
They quickly got out of the car!
Chen Daoyi's spiritual energy surged as he let out a sinister laugh!
"Just watch! I'll show these One-Eyed species what the might of a Dao Heaven!
Jiangnan grinned: "Spatial Displacement!"
The next instant, Jiangnan vanished from his spot, replaced by the purple-haired One-Eyed species carrying the Origin Spark!
Its nearly three-meter height and rock-solid muscles gave off an extremely oppressive feeling!
The moment the purple-haired One-Eyed species appeared, Chen Daoyi was about to charge!
But the One-Eyed species looked utterly indifferent, its eyes half-open, seemingly confused as it looked at the group of little red figures!
ˀ̣ˀ̣(˶ꆤ˵) "Patata kunsa halibeta?"
Chen Daoyi paused mid-charge!
(ˀ̣ˀ̣꒪д꒪) "What the hell is it saying?"
Jiangnan used a Mark Teleportation and reappeared beside the One-Eyed species!
The One-Eyed species looked at Jiangnan in confusion, as if asking a question!
Surrounded by several of them, it didn't run or resist, just stood there dumbly!
Li Bing kept tugging at Jiangnan's spacesuit!
(ʘ̆口ʘ̥̆˵)☛ "It it it... just spoke!"
Jiangnan scratched his head: ୧(•︠~•︡) "Why does this One-Eyed species seem so dumb?"
While everyone was carefully observing the One-Eyed species, it was also observing Jiangnan and the others with half-open eyes!
Jiangnan rubbed his hands together and walked behind the One-Eyed species!
He reached out, grabbed the three-meter-long Origin Spark, and stuffed it into his Alternate Dimension!
The purple-haired One-Eyed species' pupil immediately locked onto Jiangnan!
(ꐦ˶⚆˵) "Lamasa!"
"Tata buluka!"
[Skill Triggered! Northern Crown Supercluster Common Language (Beginner): LV0!]
Jiangnan: ???
God, Northern Crown Supercluster!
What kind of concept is that?
The entire supercluster speaks this kind of common language?
Whatever language it is, just max it out!
[Confirm Skill Point Addition: 1,111,100 points!]
[Skill Upgraded! Northern Crown Supercluster Common Language (Grandmaster): MAX!]
Countless pieces of language knowledge flooded into Jiangnan's mind!
Jiangnan suddenly understood what this One-Eyed species was saying!
(Confirmed Hostile Intent!)
(Deactivating Sleep Mode! Activating Battle Mode!)
Jiangnan: !!!
