Logan Clark aimed at the black horn, and with a thought, the black horn appeared in the metallic space.

The surroundings instantly fell silent.

The moment Logan Clark stored the black horn in the space, the vibrations stopped.

What happened?

With limited vision, Logan Clark had no idea what was going on.

He only noticed that within his range of perception, the dull rumbling sound was gone.

The once constantly churning red pool suddenly became still and lifeless.

The flesh slimes froze, as if they had died.

Deep within the arthropod mountain, the endlessly rolling metal spheres lost their momentum and rolled into deep crevices under the force of gravity.

Ryan Clark also looked puzzled.

The moment the black horn disappeared, she had already gotten into the small vehicle, ready to escape.

The current situation was clearly beyond her expectations.

Logan Clark stared at the black horn lying quietly on the ground, hardly daring to breathe.

He felt the air suddenly solidify.

Fortunately, the girl reacted quickly.

After just a brief daze, she drove the vehicle away from the center.

On the outskirts of the mountain, there was still endless dead silence.

Logan Clark had already gotten used to the sound of vibrations, so the sudden silence now felt a bit strange.

Chapter 11: Silence and the Black Horn

===========================

Chapter 11: Silence and the Black Horn

Silence.

Outside the metal mountain, the once gigantic vibration beasts stood still, the flesh on their heads ceasing to throb.

The intertwined arthropod spheres also stopped shaking, even relaxing and scattering on the ground.

It was as if time had stopped.

The small vehicle drove all the way to the edge of the large pit.

Everywhere they passed, not a single vibration beast was moving; the never-ending vibrations had ceased.

The vibration beasts that had once fought desperately to reach the center of the pit had now lost all purpose in their lives.

A few vibration beasts that had just been fighting stopped, still locked in their grappling poses.

The bird-shaped vibration beasts in the air fell to the ground, turning into statues.

The small vehicle stopped outside the pit.

Ryan Clark aimed her instrument at the motionless vibration beasts, turned on the electronic screen, and began recording what was happening inside the pit.

Logan Clark tried peeling the flesh from one of the vibration beasts; the wound was still healing.

He threw the sliced-off chunk of flesh in a conspicuous spot, and Ryan Clark quickly noticed it.

She found the vibration beast that had its flesh peeled, and aimed her instrument at it.

Nothing had changed, except that the vibration beasts had stopped moving.

"Could it be that they've lost their target?"

Why weren't they attacking the location of the cube?

Logan Clark had already considered this outcome before teleporting the black horn.

Teleportation required first storing it in the cube, which should have triggered an attack.

But clearly, Ryan Clark didn't know the principle behind Logan Clark's teleportation.

Logan Clark guessed that Ryan Clark intended for him to teleport the black horn into her hands, then drive away to escape.

But by accident, this unexpected result occurred.

"It's as if I hid the black horn."

Logan Clark looked at the black horn on the ground, curiously picking it up.

The moment he touched it, he saw the pure black surface of the horn suddenly begin to ripple.

It was like a black hole, endlessly collapsing inward.

As if it could lead somewhere.

What is this?

Logan Clark was puzzled.

"I don't get it."

He put the black horn down, and the falling sensation instantly disappeared, the horn returning to its pure black appearance.

Logan Clark planned to teleport the black horn to Ryan Clark, let her check the data, and if anything unexpected happened, he could retrieve it in time.

Since it was something he couldn't figure out, he needed to rely on the database—after all, there was a native human right beside him.

Ryan Clark's face was also full of confusion now.

She was probably wondering where the black horn had gone, and why the valley had suddenly fallen silent.

Duang!

A can-like sound drew Ryan Clark's attention again.

What followed was the black horn stuck in the can, with Logan Clark watching closely, ready to retrieve it at any moment.

Ryan Clark looked at the black horn, her confusion slowly turning to delight.

Boom!

As the black horn appeared, the entire valley began to vibrate again, even more violently!

Seeing this, Ryan Clark quickly grabbed the black horn.

The moment she touched it, Logan Clark noticed that Ryan Clark, just like he had earlier, fell into a daze.

Her eyes widened, staring straight into the depths of the black hole.

She was clearly looking at the object in front of her, but her gaze seemed to be fixed on something far away, as if she was involuntarily lost in a trance.

The vibrations around them grew more and more intense.

Soon, a vibration beast charged over.

A bright red creature entered Logan Clark's field of vision.

It was a torrent formed by countless flesh slimes, surging together at great speed.

Logan Clark hurried to teleport and strip them away, but the process was too slow—like a drop in the bucket.

Fortunately, the height difference at the edge of the pit slowed the tide a bit.

But more and more waves of flesh slimes surged up, wave after wave, more and more of them coming.

They were about to spill out of the pit.

The massive vibration beasts, driven by the surging torrent, charged forward, waving their arthropods and climbing upward.

Sharp limbs hooked onto the edge of the cliff, and in the next second, they would climb up.

Logan Clark anxiously looked at the girl: "Let go already!"

But things took an unexpected turn—Ryan Clark was still holding the black horn.

She was still in a trance, but seemed to be trying to break free from the strange attraction, then suddenly fainted, the black horn falling to the ground.

Logan Clark quickly retrieved the black horn from the ground. He hadn't expected this situation, and it had lasted a bit too long.
