318: Chapter 320 prepares for the second phase of the game!

Inside the livestream.

After An Ke's explanation, Savage Yi came to a realization.

Pelican Spiders have no concept of a colony; they only consider themselves.

This was evident from how they had unhesitatingly devoured their own severely injured kind earlier.

Thus, it was simply impossible to expect these self-centered Pelican Spiders to unite.

Unless the sun rose from the west.

As if to confirm what An Ke had said.

The Pelican Spiders' unity collapsed before it even began.

Because one of the Pelican Spiders roared at the one trying to organize them:

"Since you're calling for us to unite and break through this situation..."

"...then lead by example and sacrifice yourselves to clear a path for us."

The Pelican Spider who wanted to organize responded with something akin to: "Fuck off!"

"..."

At this point, it was "curtains" for the Pelican Spiders.

On An Ke's side.

Having answered Savage Yi's first doubt, he prepared to address the next one.

That being: if it wasn't targeted at the Pelican Spiders, why set the fire?

But as An Ke opened his mouth, a thought flashed through his mind.

Now that his group was growing larger, he needed to consider finding a few managers.

After all, he wasn't a god; one person couldn't possibly spare enough energy to manage every issue in the Camp.

Right now, Savage Yi was a good choice for a manager.

Among all the savages, he was the smartest.

From the current situation, it was also clear that Savage Yi loved to learn.

As for loyalty, An Ke, who possessed Natural Affinity and Spider Foresight, didn't need to worry at all.

Thinking of this, An Ke changed his approach and smiled at Savage Yi:

"As for why we're setting the fire, you'll understand the reason once you put it into practice yourself in a moment."

"Of course! If you still don't understand, you can come and ask me again."

"I will give you the answer."

An Ke intended to groom Savage Yi.

So, the savages began to burn a Firebreak as An Ke had instructed.

During this time, An Ke tried to help two parasitized savages deal with the Double-Coiled Flukes.

Under the influence of Level 5 Natural Affinity, the Double-Coiled Flukes parasitizing the savages' bodies obediently crawled out.

An Ke had originally thought each person was only parasitized by two Double-Coiled Flukes.

To his surprise, a total of over twenty Double-Coiled Flukes crawled out of the two savages' noses.

Imagine the scene of green-headed, striped worms crawling out of your nostrils one by one.

An Ke forced himself to endure the nausea and didn't back away.

The other animals and savages were also revolted by the Double-Coiled Flukes, but Three Hairs took an immediate interest upon seeing them.

It wiggled its little butt and crawled over: "Master, Master, can Little Mouse eat all these Double-Coiled Flukes?"

An Ke just felt weary. Couldn't it eat something else?

It just had to eat such disgusting things.

But seeing that Three Hairs truly liked them, An Ke let it be.

Eat up, eat up. It's all protein anyway.

"Hehe~ Thank you, Master! Master is the best~" Three Hairs rejoiced, immediately sitting in front of the Double-Coiled Flukes and grabbing them to eat.

These Double-Coiled Flukes were over ten times larger than Three Hairs.

With one bite, Three Hairs made the Double-Coiled Fluke burst with juice.

Various fluids splashed onto Three Hairs' face, and it looked completely satisfied.

An Ke was speechless and silently looked away.

But then, he had a flash of inspiration.

He thought of a brand-new way to attack.

Could the eggs of the Double-Coiled Fluke be stored in the Portable Space?

If he could store the eggs, wouldn't they be incredibly effective at a critical moment?

This method of attack was somewhat similar to Planting Gu.

An Ke was eager to try.

Once an enemy was parasitized by the Double-Coiled Flukes, they would eventually die even if they escaped.

As for his own people accidentally inhaling the eggs and becoming parasitized, there was no need to worry.

An Ke now had "clinical experience."

As long as the Double-Coiled Flukes didn't reach the brain and take complete control of the host, he could make them leave the host's body.

The only issue was that this method of attack was too insidious and underhanded.

However, An Ke liked it very much.

...

As the two fires met, the massive fire in the cave was extinguished.

"The fire... the fire really went out!"

"Unbelievable. Such a huge fire, extinguished just like that."

"Fighting fire with fire really works. The Clan Leader is too amazing."

"Is this making two fires fight each other?"

"..."

At first, the savages didn't quite believe An Ke's method of fighting fire with fire.

Wouldn't merging fire with fire just create an even bigger blaze?

But out of absolute loyalty, the savages still did as An Ke said.

To their surprise, it actually worked.

Watching the extinguished fire, Savage Yi's admiration for An Ke reached an unprecedented height.

"The... the Clan Leader has once again performed an inconceivable feat."

Fire really can extinguish fire.

Could it be that the Clan Leader cast some kind of sorcery on the second fire?

No! Impossible!

If that were the case, the Clan Leader wouldn't have let me witness it and find the answer myself.

This must be a test from the Clan Leader; I must not let him down.

Savage Yi stared intently at the scorched earth before him, trying to find the reason why fire could fight fire.

About ten minutes later, Savage Yi had an epiphany.

He looked excited. "I think I know why fighting fire with fire works."

"The Clan Leader is too brilliant to have thought of such a method."

The excited Savage Yi sprinted toward the waterfall to verify his idea with An Ke.

At the same time, he would report the news that the Pelican Spiders had all been dealt with.

Meanwhile, An Ke's group was leisurely playing and splashing in the river.

Above the Moon.

Looking at An Ke comfortably playing cards with the animals in the livestream, the robot finally snapped.

The hidden creatures it had risked breaking the rules to release... An Ke had wiped them out while playing cards with animals?

Wasn't this a bit too easy?

The robot had wanted to reclaim some dignity for the S-rank difficulty dungeon, but now, not only was its dignity not recovered, but An Ke had even developed a brand-new attack move.

Being able to control fire without a Transcendent Core.

It was too ridiculous.

"Sigh! Oh well, it's just that this human, An Ke, is too powerful."

"It's not that the S-rank difficulty dungeon is too easy."

The robot gave a human-like sigh, then looked at the Control Console and muttered:

"I'd better prepare for the second phase of the game in advance..."

"Which human is too powerful?"

A voice suddenly came from behind.

The robot spun around abruptly.

It saw a robed figure that had appeared behind it at some unknown time.

Beneath the hood was pitch-black darkness, making it impossible to see the figure's face.

Joy was displayed on the robot's screen.

"My Lord, you've finally arrived."

"I suspect one of them is a cheater!!"
