(p)Yang Xiao and the others were on a small spaceship where only the cockpit had a view of the outside; other places were not visible.(/p)

(p)The cockpit was isolated separately.(/p)

(p)Luo Meng walked to the back of the cockpit and shouted into an instrument resembling a microphone:(/p)

(p)"Turn on the video; I want to see what's happening outside. Have the spaceship circle above the mining field first, don't rush to land."(/p)

(p)"Yes."(/p)

(p)Soon, Yang Xiao saw a curved screen about one meter long and half a meter wide at the front of the cabin, displaying the scene of the ground mine.(/p)

(p)First, he saw smoke rising from the mine shaft.(/p)

(p)Yang Xiao looked anxiously, wondering if the mine shaft had caught fire. How were Du Tianxing and the others?(/p)

(p)However, the view shifted, and he saw in the center of the mine, Gu Beifeng and the others standing together, surrounded by thirty or forty tall so-called indigenous residents.(/p)

(p)These people had distinctive features, only wearing beast skin to cover their lower bodies, with their upper bodies exposed.(/p)

(p)These locals were tightly surrounding Gu Beifeng and the others but did not initiate any fight.(/p)

(p)Gu Beifeng and his group seemed very tense, each holding weapons, yet they appeared afraid to fight.(/p)

(p)The spaceship circled above the mining field,(/p)

(p)Upon seeing the spaceship, Zhao Benling and others frantically waved and shouted: (/p)

(p)"Help, help!"(/p)

(p)Yang Xiao glanced at Luo Meng,(/p)

(p)"Captain Luo, what's going on? Why aren't those savages attacking?"(/p)

(p)Luo Meng frowned slightly and explained:(/p)

(p)"These savages are very cunning; actually, their combat power far exceeds that of the ground miners. They first used smoke to force the miners out of the tunnels and then trapped them.(/p)

(p)These miners are definitely no match for them, otherwise, they wouldn't stand there not daring to fight, looking scared."(/p)

(p)"Why did the savages surround them but not attack?"(/p)

(p)"The savages' targets are not the miners, but us."(/p)

(p)Yang Xiao was startled,(/p)

(p)"Us?"(/p)

(p)"To be precise, the Purple Origin Crystal Stones."(/p)

(p)"Purple Origin Crystal Stones?"(/p)

(p)Luo Meng nodded and yelled towards the cockpit:(/p)

(p)"Choose a landing spot about a hundred meters away from the savages, everyone prepare for battle."(/p)

(p)"Yes!"(/p)

(p)Nearly thirty Iron Tower Warriors and about ten men in black capes in the cabin responded in unison.(/p)

(p)The spaceship slowly landed,(/p)

(p)the cabin door opened,(/p)

(p)Iron Tower Warriors holding longswords charged out, setting up a defensive formation around the spaceship.(/p)

(p)Following them, the men in black capes stepped off the spaceship,(/p)

(p)leaving only Yang Xiao, Luo Meng, and Yuri inside.(/p)

(p)Luo Meng hesitated, then said to Yang Xiao:(/p)

(p)"Young Master Yang, you should not go down for now,"(/p)

(p)"Me?"(/p)

(p)"Yuri, you stay as well, remain on the spaceship with Young Master Yang. If anything unexpected happens, take off immediately and return to the base with the spaceship to bring reinforcements."(/p)

(p)"Yes."(/p)

(p)Yuri responded.(/p)

(p)Yang Xiao initially insisted on going down with the others, but eventually gave up. He decided to wait and see, as his current cultivation was too low to be of any help.(/p)

(p)After Luo Meng descended from the spaceship, Yuri closed the cabin door, and the spaceship once again took off, hovering in mid-air.(/p)

Yang Xiao and Yuri watched the situation on the ground through the cabin's screen.

Luo Meng led the group over, radiating a killing aura.

Three or four leaders from among the forty or so savages immediately stepped forward several meters and blocked the front.

The screen in the cabin had no sound, so Yang Xiao could only see their gestures.

Luo Meng walked out from the crowd and talked with the leaders of the savages for a while. The savages appeared angry, pointing at the sky and then stomping on the ground, occasionally roaring fiercely and then pondering.

Finally, Luo Meng took something out from his Space Ring and gave it to the savages.

After receiving the item, the savages immediately burst into loud laughter, waved to the people behind them, and all quickly ran into the nearby forest, disappearing from sight.

Yang Xiao, not understanding the situation, asked Yuri,

"Why did the savages leave?"

"The savages came for the Purple Origin Crystal Stones. They threatened Luo Meng to give them the crystal stones or they would kill the miners. Captain Luo gave them some crystal stones, so they ran away."

"What do the savages need the crystal stones for?"

"Crystal stones are a type of evolutionary energy source that can help all living beings accelerate genetic evolution. This planet contains Purple Origin Crystal Stones underground, which is why the flora and fauna here undergo constant evolution."

Yang Xiao was stunned and asked:

"How do the savages use the crystal stones? Do they eat them directly?"

"The savages have their own methods of using the crystal stones,"

Yuri suddenly stopped, realizing he had said too much, and quickly changed his tone:

"The specifics of their usage are unclear to us. Alright, the savages have left, we can go down now."

The spaceship landed again, and Yang Xiao and Yuri disembarked.

Yang Xiao ran over.

Zhao Benling and others, seeing Yang Xiao approach, all embraced together.

"Is everyone alright? Did anyone get hurt?"

"No, everyone's fine, just got a little scared by those savages."

Yang Xiao let out a sigh of relief. Now, there were only fifteen fellow countrymen, each one precious.

"Are the savages very formidable? Why didn't you fight back?"

"It was useless. We were woken up by smoke at dawn and surrounded by them as soon as we ran out of the mine. We did resist, but it was futile; their cultivation was clearly higher than ours. Even a single one of them could take on several of us, and there were more of them. They also had several monster pets; how could we dare resist?"

"Monster pets? I didn't see any?"

"The savages controlled us and then hid the monster pets in the nearby mountains."

Yang Xiao nodded, seeing that everyone was mostly fine, which eased his mind somewhat. He approached Luo Meng and said:

"Captain Luo, thank you for saving my brothers."

"Heh, it's a minor thing. These savages have come before, mostly for crystal stones, and they only occasionally harm people. Once, we attacked a few of their tribes, and they killed several of our mine workers."

"Captain Luo, can't you send more spaceships to pick up all the workers every day?"

"We've considered it, but we only have a few spaceships and can't manage. Moreover, the base doesn't have enough space to accommodate so many miners to rest. Constantly traveling back and forth is a huge waste of time."

Yang Xiao fell silent, knowing that, in the eyes of Luo Meng and the others, the miners from Earth weren't valued much.

However, a question suddenly arose in Yang Xiao's heart; who was mining here before they came?

Could it be Luo Meng himself?

That's impossible.

Based on Yang Xiao's observations over this period, Luo Meng and his team were only responsible for management and defense; they wouldn't engage in the actual mining work.

Another critical question was, although these Purple Crystal Stones had been studied by Yang Xiao and others and couldn't be used directly, how did the savages use these snatched Purple Origin Crystal Stones?

From Yuri's recent hesitant response, they were afraid of Yang Xiao and the others knowing how to utilize the Purple Origin Crystal Stones.

Yang Xiao said to Luo Meng:

"Captain Luo, my brothers have been startled. I'll stay here for a few nights to comfort them so they can mine peacefully."

Luo Meng was taken aback, looked at Yang Xiao, hesitated slightly, and then reluctantly nodded.

"Alright, you can stay with them for a few days. Those savages, having robbed once, will take at least 2 or 3 months before they come again."
