Chapter 1133: The Great Riot

Translator: Sean88888  Editor: Elkassar1

The whole valley was in disarray, like a pot of boiling porridge. But two or three minutes later, the high-ranking Buffalo Criminals that lived deeper in the valley finally came outside. With their loud scolding, whipping and even killing, order was gradually restored.

But at that moment, the second trap laid down by Sheyan took effect. From beneath the earth came a deafening roar!

The cave filled with Kurut minerals suddenly exploded upwards like a geyser, shooting straight into the sky. Several tons of Kurut minerals spread in the sky as if the goddesses were scattering flowers, then came crashing down on half the valley!

Although the two Buffalo Criminals Warbeasts who guarded the entrance of the cave were caught up in the explosion, they just suffered some burns initially. Their main injuries came from the objects that rained down on them. From this, one could see the skillfulness and precision in the control of the explosion. The Predator arms, which were meant to be used as grenades, had been turned into blasting explosives!

To control the explosion in such a way was actually quite difficult, but fortunately, Pokan was a Nobel Prize-winning geologist in the real world and had cooperated with the military before in explosion-related matters. Of course, much of the credit had to go to his powerful ability too, or they would surely have been discovered by the Buffalo Criminals simply from digging a hole on the mountain for the explosives.

From how exhausted Pokan was after finishing the job, one could tell that what Sheyan requested was definitely not easy to perform.

Watching a large number of beautiful Kurut minerals shining in the air and falling down like rain on most of the valley, the Buffalo Criminals that had gradually restored their order became dumbstruck. Except for those who had burned their eyes, all of them lifted their heads 45 degrees upwards to look at the sky in astonishment. They stood there motionless despite the whipping and cursing directed at them.

When the Kurut minerals that were still burning hot from the explosion hit them on the face and body, it must have been painful, but they looked as if they were unconscious of that fact. There is a saying that suffering is not caused by poverty; it is caused by inequality. The strict caste system among the Buffalo Criminals was being fully made use by Sheyan at the moment!

Why were those ordinary Buffalo Criminals still hesitating? Of course they wished to eat to their hearts’ content, but the authority of the Boss and the cruel, rigid caste system of the tribe was still repressing their instinct like a mountain. They could only painstakingly hold themselves back.

Suddenly, a piece of Kurut ore fell from the sky into the half-open mouth of a Buffalo Criminal. The guy was hungry to begin with, so when it felt the delicacy delivered into it mouth, it instinctively bit down hard. By the time this guy realised it, it had already chewed and swallowed the Kurut ore down into its belly….

What else could it do after that? It had to die whether it ate one or ten. What’s there to hesitate about? Time to dig in!

Here, it must be mentioned that every Buffalo Criminal was born with about the same amount of strength. That was to say, in a one on one fight, there may be some prodigies who could hold the absolute advantage, but it was impossible for any young Buffalo Criminal to beat two other young Buffalo Criminals by itself.

However, among the mature Buffalo Criminals, the power ratio between different ranks was usually 10:1!

That was to say, 1000 ordinary Buffalo Criminals = 100 Buffalo Criminal Raiders = 10 Warbeasts / 10 Elders = 1 Boss.

Such a huge gap was due to the different intakes of Kurut minerals. The more one ate, the more nutrition one would gain and the more powerful one would be. This theory was equally applicable to humans, but the difference was that the upper limit of human growth was not that high.

No matter how sacred rules and laws were, as long as someone took the lead in breaking them under special circumstances, they would become something that everyone would trample on! For example, right now, some of the more competitive Buffalo Criminals would surely think: If he can eat, why can’t I? And some of the more greedy ones would be afraid that all the Kurut ores would be gone if they did not act fast enough….

Some of the high-ranking Buffalo Criminal Raiders tried to maintain order, but their numbers were limited, so they naturally failed. In the end, they too felt that they had been treated unequally. Don’t forget that above them, there were the Warbeasts, the Elders and the Boss! The Raiders were also the exploited bourgeoisie! Why can’t they eat too?

Not only that, the two Warbeasts who were guarding the cave also joined the ranks of those fighting for Kurut ores. Every Buffalo Criminal ended up eating and grabbing as much Kurut ores as they could. Even though there were tons of Kurut minerals, they soon became scarce. Since there were too many monks and too little gruel, it would certainly lead to fierce looting, and maybe even war! As soon as blood flowed, the accumulated resentment and anger would break out.

The situation in the valley was going completely out of control.

“Good….” Sheyan gazed down at the valley and grinned. “Now we can go to the Boss and propose a cooperation. Surely the guy would be alarmed by now. As for the situation here, it seems to be going well. Let them continue. It’s not good to hold their grudges in.”

Because the Boss of the Buffalo Criminals lived in a cave in the deepest part of the valley, it would take some time for him to reach this place even if he rushed here right after he heard the explosion. Of course Sheyan could not let it come here to stop the chaos! He had made an arrangement for that long ago. Ronnie had now completed the task and returned smoothly.

The team swaggered through the valley and entered the gourd-shaped terrain past the valley. There should have been two Buffalo Criminal Warbeasts and four Buffalo Criminal Raiders standing guard here, but those guys had already joined the looting with bloodshot eyes, tearing the flesh of their own kind wildly and fiercely in the fight for the precious Kurut minerals. Some Buffalo Criminals were even thinking of cutting open the stomach of other Buffalo Criminals to dig out the undigested ores.

As for the weird creatures that were Sheyan and the other contestants, since they had no smell of Kurut on them, they were naturally ignored. Who cares about them?

It must be mentioned that there were thousands of Buffalo Criminals fighting excitedly in the valley. If a person was unfortunately caught in the middle of the battlefield right now, the exotic smell could smoke them to death….

After Sheyan and his team entered the inner valley, the path inclined downwards all the way. After making a big turn, they finally saw the huge Buffalo Criminal Boss seven or eight hundred meters ahead rushing towards this side together with four Elders and four Warbeasts.

Sheyan raised his right hand. Pokan, who had just recovered a little energy, took a deep breath. His face flushed a bright red.

A bit over ten meters ahead of them, the earth rose slowly to form a two-meter-high, five or six-meter-wide hillock. The team immediately ran under the hillock to hide.

Sheyan turned to look at Cyborg No. 1 and asked, “Remote detonation should be fine, right?”

“Not a problem,” answered Cyborg No. 1.

Sheyan closed his eyes to concentrate on sensing the movement of the enemies ahead. After less than ten seconds, he suddenly started counting down in a whisper, “Ready… Three, two, ONE!”

Another dazzling flash erupted, followed by a terrible shockwave and a crazy little mushroom cloud. Although the humans were hundreds of meters away and were hiding behind an artificial shelter, they could still feel the gust that swept across everything. The exposed part of their skin felt burning hot, and the heat only dissipated after a long time!

The front part of the hillock which acted as their shelter had been eroded by nearly half a meter!

Sheyan started to get a little worried that their main target might have died in that explosion. That would be terrible news! However, at the core explosion area, a huge black mass shook a few times, and several charcoal-like smoking corpses were flung away.

The Buffalo Criminal Boss emerged with a furious and painful roar. At the moment of explosion, this guy had used a strange ability to pull all the guards to his front to block most of the damage!

As the most powerful creature among the Buffalo Criminal clan that enjoyed the most resources, it was over three meters tall and weighed nearly a ton. It could definitely go on a killing spree if it was left to rampage around!

The Buffalo Criminal Boss’ weapon of choice would either be a glowing purple heavy metal totem or a black giant tree totem.

The former totem was produced using a strange method from minerals found deep in the mountains. It had terrible destructive power. In a tribe, only the most powerful creature could possess such a totem.

The latter totem indicated that the abilities of the Buffalo Criminal Boss leaned towards a mage-type, but if you think its stamina and melee attack power would be weak because of that, you would be making a huge mistake!

The most conspicuous characteristic of the Boss was that it had a large aneurysm on each shoulder. While the two tumors were harmful to the body, they could also provide a function similar to the heart. Therefore, the two aneurysms belonged to areas that must be attacked.
