Chapter 272 Sound of Resonance

  Chi Yao waved his hand to restore the rock wall that was squeezing the troll mole's body to its original position, and began to speak.

"I don't know much about underground creatures. Judging from Johns's performance and what you just said, normal troll moles can't breathe fire?"

Seeing that Chi Yao had skipped over his own abilities, Tonino Harvey did not delve further into the matter and pointed at Johns and said.

"I have only read about the underground creatures in the No. 6 ore vein in the data. This is the first time I have seen the true situation of the troll mole rat today."

"You'll have to ask Johns about this. As the strongest team, they must be very familiar with the giant mole."

Johns, who was standing by, also came back to his senses from his shock. Hearing the two people talking about him, and having just witnessed how terrifying Chi Yao's casual attack was, Johns immediately lowered his head respectfully and answered.

"Your Highness, our team has been to the mines countless times, and the troll mole is a common underground creature. Under normal circumstances, with the cooperation of our team, we can easily kill it."

"But the giant mole we encountered today seems to be extraordinary. Not only is it much stronger, but it can also spit fire."

"In my fifteen years of business, I've never come across a giant mole rat that can breathe fire!"

Listening to Johns' explanation, Chi Yao's conjecture gradually became more complete.

'It seems that my previous guess was correct. Normal troll moles do not have fire abilities. This troll mole that was catalyzed by the round sun stone is most likely to have developed an abnormal condition due to the appearance of the fire ants.'

Chi Yao turned to look at Babbitt, the doctor in the team, and asked.

"Babbitt, do you know anything about the physiological structure of the giant mole?"

After the battle just now, the sadness on Babbitt's face was a little less. He touched his head and said hesitantly.

"I am better at human body structure. I only have a superficial understanding of the physiological structure of underground creatures."

"No, but I can try to do an on-the-spot autopsy."

While speaking, Babbitt crossed his hands in front of him, looking a little embarrassed. He couldn't help but steal a few glances at Chi Yao from time to time, as if he was shocked by the strength Chi Yao had just displayed.

Chi Yao nodded, walked to the side of the troll mole, stretched out his hand to control the rock to lift up the body of the troll mole, and signaled Babbitt to start.

"Then thank you for your help. Let's get started."

Babbitt straightened his expression, walked up to the troll mole, took out a special knife from his backpack and started working.

As Babbitt raised his knife and chopped it off, the troll mole's skin was quickly cut off, revealing the bloody muscle tissue.

After peeling the skin, everyone present discovered the peculiarity of the troll mole corpse in front of them. A familiar warm light was faintly glowing on the skull bones of the corpse.

This is the light of the round sun stone! The round sun stone is fused with the head bones of the giant mole!

With a clear goal, Babbitt speeded up his actions and quickly peeled off the muscles on the mole's head, revealing the mutated bones.

It was a round yang stone about the size of a palm, pierced across the upper jaw of the troll mole. One could clearly see several veins emanating from the round yang stone, which seemed to be in the process of fusion and had not yet been completely integrated.

Tonino Harvey couldn't help but say as he looked at the mutated corpse of the troll mole.

"Is this a mutation caused by the Round Sun Stone? But why? This shouldn't be the case. These underground creatures have lived in the mine for so long, and there has never been any news of such a mutation happening!"

Chi Yao's face darkened slightly. He crossed his arms over his chest and expressed his guess.

"Havi, it's not that there aren't any. Have you forgotten that two months ago, in the No. 6 mine, red fire ants that could use the round sun stone to evolve themselves appeared."

"And just after the fire ants appeared, we encountered this group of giant moles that were influenced by the round sun stone and evolved the ability to breathe fire."

"The fire ants are closely related to the occurrence of this mutation."

Listening to Chi Yao's words, Tonino Harvey's expression became solemn and his tone became heavier.

"Second brother, do you mean that the mutation of this giant demon mole is not an isolated case?"

"And this mutation was caused by the fire ants?!"

Chi Yao raised his hand and caused the rock wall on the left to surge, directly burying the body of the troll mole inside.

"This is just speculation. After all, you said before that the fire ants appeared two months ago, and before that you had never seen this kind of mutated underground creatures."

"Moreover, the process of mutation also takes time. Two months is too short according to common sense, but the facts just now have shown that the mutation situation cannot be delayed."

"In these two months, we still don't know how many underground creatures have been affected by this mutation!"

"So next, we need to hurry up. The sooner we reach the area of ​​the fire ants, the better it will be for us to get intelligence."

Tonino Harvey felt that Chi Yao's guess made sense, and immediately ordered Johns' team to move on.

"Keep going, Easley. Don't worry about safety anymore. Just choose the shortest route."

Easley wanted to persuade Chi Yao and Tonino Harvey, and his tone was very helpless.

"Your Highnesses, if we choose the shortest route, we will encounter several underground creatures' activity areas along the way, and there is a high possibility of conflict with these underground creatures."

"If too many fights occur on the trail and a lot of energy is consumed, it will be quite disadvantageous for us to reach the area of ​​fire ants."

Tonino Harvey narrowed his eyes and spoke in a tone that brooked no refusal.

"Easy, your mission is to lead the way and do your job with peace of mind! As for the battles on the road, leave it to Huiyao and me to handle!"

Seeing that Tonino Harvey's tone was quite firm and he had issued an ultimatum, Isley stopped arguing, walked to the front and began to lead the way for everyone.

Under Tonino Xavi's requirement to move forward at a high speed, the group moved forward a lot faster, but inevitably, they also encountered many various underground creatures.

It was Chi Yao's plan to let Tonino Xavi face off against the underground creatures. It was a good opportunity to see his true strength, so Chi Yao still concealed his detection ability and let his team directly crash into them.

When facing underground creatures such as mud salamanders, rock-armored earthworms, rock lizards, etc., Tonino Harvey took action.

Tonino Xavi's ability is similar to creating overclocked sound waves, which can form resonance in the body of underground organisms, directly destroying the relatively fragile internal organs of the opponent and causing internal injuries.

In front of Tonino Xavi, the underground creatures with solid and thick shells were as fragile as crispy skin even with rock armor.

Contrary to Chi Yao's expectations, Tonino Xavi's abilities were mastered very well, and it seemed to be his true strength.

Chi Yao realized that his previous guess might have been a misunderstanding.

"It seems that my previous guess was a misjudgment. That's right, as the first heir to the kingdom, even if he is not as powerful as Tonino Carlo, Tonino Harvey must at least have some strength."

"The reason for my previous misjudgment was probably because Carlo and Harvey's abilities were both sound-related, but I couldn't tell the difference when I first came into contact with them."

'It now appears that Carlo and Harvey's abilities are roughly in the same category of sound, but in fact they are quite different and belong to different branches.'

Watching Tonino Harvey smash a rock lizard that was blocking his way to pieces, Chi Yao had already thought of a way to deal with it.

"However, since it is a sound system, it is easy to deal with. Vacuum is still the best way to deal with it."
