Yu Yuan was currently about fifty ters away from that giant tree.
He had Mie Mie stop, then observed the surrounding environnt, thinking for a mont.
He retreated several dozen ters before saying to Zhi Zhi:
"Zhi Zhi, sweep the surrounding area!"
Zhi Zhi imdiately jumped to the ground, its body enlarging, emitting a "squeak squeak" sound as it began summoning all rodent creatures in the current area.
Soon, rustling sounds ca from the forest as one rodent creature after another, heeding Zhi Zhi's call, began to gather.
These rodent creatures were of various species. So had snow-white paws with a furry tail trailing behind, while others were entirely black but had a white stripe running down the middle of their spine.
There were even so rodents shuttling back and forth between the trees, leaping from the branches of one tree to another with remarkable agility.
In just a short mont, Yu Yuan was surrounded by all kinds of rodent creatures.
So were squatting in the trees, so were lying at Zhi Zhi's feet, and so had just burrowed out of the soil.
Judging by the numbers alone, far more than a few hundred were present.
Yu Yuan's gaze, however, fell on two groundhogs that had just erged from the soil, their fur glossy and sleek.
The reason was that the biological rank of these two groundhogs was clearly—Bronze-tier.
Apart from the Giant Mutant Rat, these were the second type of Bronze-tier rodents Yu Yuan had seen.
Looking at the series of fresh soil mounds on the ground.
"Interesting!"
Since he encountered them, he couldn't let them go.
The Loser's Cube was deployed, and these two Bronze-tier groundhogs were taken inside.
Zhi Zhi was clearly familiar with the routine.
Seeing the rodent swarm fully assembled, it wasted no ti. Standing upright on its hind legs, it pointed at the giant tree a hundred ters away and began issuing orders.
With Zhi Zhi's command, the rodent swarm began to boil.
First ca the continuous chorus of rodent squeaks, then the entire swarm turned in unison and charged toward the giant tree.
In the trees, under the trees, underground.
The vast, surging tide made even Yu Yuan feel a bit numb.
Zhi Zhi also followed behind the swarm, constantly issuing commands from its mouth, directing the rodents' movents.
During this ti, more and more rodent creatures continued to stream in from the distance, joining the rodent army.
For a mont, the entire forest seed to beco a rodent kingdom.
Yu Yuan noticed a black panther, two ters long and completely black, sensing the commotion and casting a watchful gaze from afar.
But upon seeing this dense, swarming mass of rodents, its pupils suddenly dilated, and it turned and left without looking back.
Other creatures did the sa.
This proved that even the weakest creatures, as long as their numbers reached a certain scale,
would undergo a qualitative change through quantitative accumulation.
This theory was validated as traps around the giant tree were triggered one after another.
Sharp blades erged from the ground, huge rolling logs fell from above, and dense volleys of crossbow bolts shot from high up the giant tree.
In an instant, the area within thirty ters of the giant tree was littered with rodent corpses.
But the remaining rodents seed to know no fear, still charging madly toward the giant tree, then running frantically around it, triggering anything that might be a trap.
Ten minutes later, Yu Yuan slowly approached.
The Binding Bramble continuously wove through the rodent corpses, absorbing every body it passed, performing harmless disposal.
Yu Yuan also arrived beneath the giant tree, looking at the door handle on it.
The No. 15 Steam Kinetic Heavy Hamr from the Ruined City appeared in his hand.
Yu Yuan assud a half-horse stance and began to charge power.
Hummm—
The three crystals on the heavy hamr emitted a faint glow. The veins on his arms bulged, and muscle fibers rose beneath the skin's surface.
As the charge ended, a large amount of white steam shot out from the back of the hamr, and the heavy hamr in his hand began its powered acceleration.
Yu Yuan, seizing this force, pushed off with his legs and leaped into the air.
His muscles, enhanced to Bronze-tier strength, allowed him to easily jump to the height of the wooden handle.
The heavy hamr in his hand, trailing a stream of air, smashed toward the location of the wooden handle.
BOOM—
The mont the heavy hamr collided with the wooden handle, Yu Yuan felt a powerful rebounding force.
But it lasted only an instant before a cracking sound erupted, sparks flying.
An alloy door disguised as wood-colored shattered completely under the charged hamr blow.
The twisted, deford alloy door was blasted into the room by Yu Yuan, embedding itself directly into the wall.
The giant tree supporting the 'Firefly Earth Shelter' also emitted a sharp *crack* sound, beginning to tilt from its roots, the soil heaving upward.
Fortunately, it didn't topple over completely but stopped mid-air after leaning slightly.
Yu Yuan landed on the ground, having already stowed the heavy hamr away.
Zhi Zhi, without needing Yu Yuan's instruction, had already directed the rodent swarm to surge into the shelter.
The rodents sward past Yu Yuan, climbed the giant tree, entered the shelter, and began scurrying everywhere.
Several minutes later, after confirming there were no dangers, the rodent swarm withdrew.
Yu Yuan jumped onto the tilted giant tree and crawled into the shelter.
Entering the shelter, Yu Yuan noticed that the interior space was far larger than the tree's actual diater.
Clearly, the 'Firefly Earth' shelter had undergone significant upgrades, possessing an interior space-folding effect.
The shelter walls were also as Yu Yuan had previously guessed. Although the exterior looked like raw wood bark,
the interior was actually a structure of alloy wall panels with soundproofing cotton. The defensive capability was evident from the previous shelter security door.
The shelter's Safety Rating was not low.
Now that the shelter was confird safe, Yu Yuan imdiately began searching for supplies inside.
This shelter had a multi-level structure. Yu Yuan's current location was likely the first floor, with stairs in the corner leading both up and down.
The first floor was probably 'Firefly Earth's' living room. Several animal skulls were placed in the center as decorations.
Yu Yuan looked around but didn't find anything noteworthy, so he didn't waste ti and went directly to the stairs, heading down.
The basent level was likely 'Firefly Earth's' work and exercise area. Exercise equipnt was placed there, and from the signs of use, it seed 'Firefly Earth' used it frequently.
The Workbench, the firefly breeding area, and the Warehouse were all here. Clearly, this was the most important core area for 'Firefly Earth'.
This exercise equipnt was clearly a complete set.
Cardio equipnt: elliptical machine, rowing machine, stair climber...
Strength equipnt: seated chest press machine, lat pulldown machine, leg press machine...
Free weights and functional training: barbells, dumbbells, battle ropes...
All of these were actually Silver-tier equipnt.
When using this equipnt for exercise, workout effectiveness increased by 80%, body recovery efficiency increased by 80%, and there was a 20% chance of obtaining exercise effects one tier higher.
Yu Yuan guessed these were probably items obtained from a Silver Civilization Treasure Chest.
Coincidentally, his construction list included the build path for a Gym. He previously thought building one was unnecessary, but now that he had this set of equipnt,
Yu Yuan naturally wouldn't let it go to waste.
He imdiately opened the Motel Main Guest Room and packed up this entire set of equipnt, not leaving a single piece behind.
