Chapter 3240: Long-Distance CollectionEditor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Starport.

Fang Heng arrived at the central teleportation passage with Kapa and the others.

An Qian was assisting in arranging spawns to transfer materials into the teleportation passage.

The amount of ore was immense.

As the spawns’ large transport drones gradually arrived, the situation was completely different from what they had anticipated. The ore in the pit showed no signs of decreasing; in fact, it appeared to be increasing.

Seeing Fang Heng arrive, An Qian hurried forward to greet him.

"Mr. Fang Heng."

"An Qian, Kapa told me that the high-value ores on this planet have mostly been extracted," Fang Heng said, glancing at the towering spatial hub and explaining their purpose. "We want to move to the next planet for ore exploration and collection."

"Understood. Let me briefly explain the situation."

An Qian led Fang Heng and the others toward more than ten transport ships docked at the starport, continuing, "We have already conducted preliminary exploration of the forty-two planets surrounding this one, marked key points, and built temporary docking points on each of these forty-two planets."

She gestured for an assistant to hand a star domain map to Fang Heng.

"Elder Ambrose instructed me before he left. These twelve ships will assist us in teleportation, and we can begin at any time."

"Besides these forty-two planets, we can also go to others, but note that spawns guard planets marked in red. Entering recklessly could lead to conflict."

Fang Heng briefly scanned the star map and pointed to the closest planet to their homeworld, saying, "This one. Let’s go as soon as possible."

"Understood. How many vampires and mutant worm creatures do you need on the transport ships? I can prepare them for you."

"No need. Just the few of us," Fang Heng shook his head. "Let’s depart directly."

"Depart directly?"

An Qian tilted her head, blinking in curiosity.

Did Fang Heng not need the lickers and vampires transported by ship? Or was he planning to create a teleportation passage on another planet?

"All right."

Suppressing her doubts, An Qian nodded lightly and signaled the captain to prepare for warp jump.

...

"The space passage is closing... 3... 2... 1..."

"Warp complete."

"Arrived at the designated warp target."

Whoosh!

Since the destination was not far, the spatial warp completed in just ten minutes, and the transport ships slowly descended from orbit to the temporary starport.

Once the ships had stabilized, Kapa, wearing a protective suit, stepped out first, scanning the planet while activating his talent to sense high-tier ores hidden on the planet.

Not bad.

The planet was roughly the same size as the initial small planet, with slightly higher energy.

However, it was shrouded in a layer of poisonous gas, making survival difficult for most races. Collecting and mining in protective suits would consume considerable time and stamina and carry significant risk.

This highlighted the advantage of the zombie team.

Zombie creatures had no such concerns.

Even if they experienced poisoning or other negative effects, their undead traits allowed them to endure.

About 95% of planets in the star domain were unsuitable for habitation. Some, like this one, contained poisonous gas. Others were filled with flammable gases, electromagnetic interference, spatial fluctuations, or corrosive gases, far too many to count.

The spawns’ collection machinery could only operate on about 15% of planets.

On extremely harsh planets, the machines could not function properly.

An Qian stayed inside the main control room, observing through the glass barrier.

The initial planet’s environment had been ideal, which was why the spawns chose it as their base, building the central spatial teleportation hub there.

Now, the real test began.

Could the Licker team maintain high ore collection efficiency under harsh conditions?

"Whoosh, whoosh whoosh..."

As the transport ship’s hatch opened, several lickers emerged, forming a line by Fang Heng. Some scattered to explore, while others quickly formed flesh cocoons on the ground.

"Chi, chi chi..."

After a few breaths, several creep worms crawled out from the flesh cocoons, quickly condensing into normal creep worm nest forms on the ground.

As the creep spread outward, two more creep worms infiltrated the ground layer.

"Gulp, gulp..."

The ground churned.

Two teleportation gates gradually rose from the ground.

Two minutes later, the wormhole fully condensed.

Fang Heng could clearly sense the wormhole creating spatial connections.

This planet was not far from the main star, still within the wormhole’s teleportation range.

With the wormhole, his zombie units could easily shuttle between the two planets.

Dark layers of light flickered within the wormhole.

Whoosh! Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!

The lickers lined up, pouring out of the wormhole continuously.

Done.

Fang Heng clenched his fist.

The wormhole only allowed Seed of Ouroboros mutation units to cross. Even he could not pass, and the distance was limited, but the speed was nearly instantaneous.

Within minutes, the lickers sent signals that they had located a rare ore zone.

It wasn’t over.

Fang Heng closed his eyes again, condensed his godly energy, and spent King of Gods’ points to summon the Pillar of Black Fog, spreading black fog across the planet.

Meanwhile, inside the ship, the captain and the Noel Clan staff watched in astonishment as the mutant worms leaped from the wormhole.

Teleportation across planets?

The Seed of Ouroboros’ ability to transfer quickly between planets had once been a headache for the Seven Realms Martial Capital races.

They hadn’t expected Fang Heng’s controlled Seed of Ouroboros to possess the same capability.

Soon, the creep worms began returning with collected ore, passing through the wormhole and arriving directly back at the main star with the spatial teleportation hub.

"Gulp..."

The Noel Clan staff inside the control room swallowed nervously.

Mutant worms could even transport materials over long distances?

The scene left the crew stunned.

In their minds, a phrase appeared:

Remote collection?

The captain frowned and immediately contacted headquarters on the main star to report the situation.

Through the audio channel, the captain’s voice clearly reached everyone present.

"Yes, confirmed. The mutant worms possess the ability to traverse the wormhole. They are constantly shuttling ore back and forth..."
