Chapter 191: Chapter 114: Tree Branch, Poison Tongue, Threats

"Uncle Hei! Tree Man Beta and Shaman have left the plane."

"You take care of it; I have a work meeting. In principle, as long as they don’t harm the humans inside the Fortress, surveillance is sufficient,"

Instructor Hei’s voice faded away.

Wang Jixuan, with his Spiritual Sense, found that the elderly gentleman was tapping his fingers in the air, yet there was no projection screen in front of him.

’Is it another interface that only Uncle Hei can see?’

’Uncle Hei, being a Half-human Mecha, is fundamentally different from Mu Dan’s fully autonomous Mechanical Body, but their forms are quite similar.’

’Marvelous technology.’

Daoist Wang quickly put on the X armor and activated the Invisibility Device.

He was not very interested in Shaman but was very intrigued by Tree Man Beta.

If possible, he would try to intervene and collect some of Tree Man Beta’s pruned branches and leaves to ascertain their specific value.

Wang Jixuan had just stepped out the door...

Huh?

He turned his head to look at the Loyal Wingman R99 Mu Dan with its dark golden long hair and perfect female figure, squatting honestly outside in the sandpit, vigilantly watching the surroundings...

’Doesn’t seem too bright.’

Daoist Wang dismissed the idea of taking a wingman on the mission and scurried towards the desert.

Mu Dan turned its head toward the direction Wang Jixuan had left, then continued to carry out its previous orders, squatting in the sandpit and standing guard.

The core logic of a Loyal Wingman includes three points:

First, to protect the superior.

Second, to obey the superior’s orders.

Third, in the event of a conflict between the first two points, to prioritize the first point as the core principle.

This is distinctly different from the core principles of civilian autonomous machinery, namely the famous Three Laws of Robotics.

...

The desert was dry with little rain, mostly leaving the sky perfectly clear. At night, stars scattered across the heavens; during the day, the sun blazed fiercely.

Shaman glanced at the sun in the sky, pursed her lips, furrowed her brows, and muttered a few words of complaint.

As neither of them was adept at infiltration and investigation, they were only equipped with a Holographic Belt and a spiritual power shield device. Now they just needed to get a bit closer to the ground camp of Fortress 82 to facilitate her investigation with her abilities.

"Let’s do it here; the distance should be enough,"

Shaman wiped away the sweat from her brow, her voice filled with grievance:

"Such a meager allowance for a month, and yet we have to risk our lives, it’s so uncomfortable!"

Tree Man Beta asked, "Are you sure this is the spot?"

"Yeah."

"Then I’ll start rooting, gugu gugu gugu."

Tree Man Beta’s legs merged and slowly inserted into the sand. In just a few breaths’ time, a network of root-like capillaries had formed underneath the sand dune.

The roots continued to spread downwards and outwards.

This was Tree Man Beta’s Third Ultimate Skill!

By this method, he could detect any disturbances within a range of three hundred meters, and as the roots developed over time, they would become more numerous and his survey range would extend even further.

This might sound somewhat unimpressive; the preparatory time was rather long and it only worked on natural ground. Faced with concrete or metallic surfaces, he was out of options.

However, when investigating Blade Beast Group’s underground caves, Tree Man Beta’s Third Ultimate Skill often produced unique effects.

His First and Second Ultimate Skills were even more ’impressive.’

[First Ultimate Skill: Photosynthesis].

As long as there was light and air, he wouldn’t feel hunger and would even improve the oxygen content of the environment.

[Second Ultimate Skill: Emergency Food].

And it wasn’t about him plucking some tree bark to boil with water.

Tree Man Beta could sprout branches on his head, arms, and back, grafting fruit tree branches or vines. He could nourish these with Spiritual Energy to make them quickly flower and bear fruit, harvesting a large amount of fruits and vegetables in two hours, providing a sustainable supply of food for later.

These three skills were Tree Man Beta’s main arsenal, letting him secure the position of First Logistician in Dragonfly Lady’s investigation team.

—Even though he was the only logistician.

"The soil moisture content is so low,"

Tree Man Beta took out a bottle of mineral water he carried and gulped down two mouthfuls. Then he squatted down, deactivated optical invisibility, and maintained spiritual power shielding.

Branches began to grow rapidly from his ’hair,’ soon forming a miniature willow tree, spreading a canopy of green shade overhead.

Tree Man Beta took out a cushion from his backpack and gestured for Shaman to sit.

Shaman grumbled, "Do you have to be so well-prepared?"

"I’m the logistician; it’s only proper," Tree Man Beta hastily explained, "Please don’t misunderstand, I have no interest in normal human females. My current method of reproduction is asexual."

Shaman rolled her eyes, crossed her legs, and sat on the cushion, facing Fortress 82’s surface camp across from the dune.

Her hands played with a crystal ball, her movements graceful and smooth, her beautiful face took on an air of sanctity as she continuously hummed.

Not far behind them, Wang Jixuan silently approached within ten meters.

Wang Jixuan squinted his eyes at Shaman... and the figure of Tree Man Beta beside her.

Branches full of Spiritual Power!

He only wondered if plucking those branches from his head would cause the Spiritual Power to disperse immediately.

Daoist Wang pondered silently for a moment, squatting there deep in thought.

That Shaman...

A few glances with his Spiritual Sense, and Wang Jixuan understood everything.

She was one of the four major classes of Telekinesis Spirit Ability Users. At this moment, her brow shone with ripples; some merging into the crystal ball, amplified, and spreading towards the Fortress surface barracks.

Suddenly, Shaman’s slender body trembled lightly and she began muttering endlessly.
