At that time, one of those flame-toothed gophers finally could not bear it and let out a scream, rushing toward Sebastian like lightning.
The next second, the remaining flame-toothed gophers rushed out of the veins, scrambling to be first.
At a glance, they appeared like a black tide surging out, and their momentum was shocking.
Even the ground was trembling.
If it were an ordinary person seeing these thousands of giant, black mice, they would be so terrified that their knees went weak.
However, Sebastian and Yohan were well prepared, and they kept staring at their front, secretly estimating the distance.
Once the mice were hundreds of meters away from them, Sebastian and Yohan all turned around.
Then, they used their martial skills and ran.
They constantly looked back to control the distance as they rushed forward, ensuring all of the flame-toothed gophers were attracted.
Morine watched as the gophers surged out like a black tide.
Then, they parted into two sides, each running toward Sebastian or Bjorne.
As for Morine and the rest, the gophers did not look at them at all.
After a while, the shaking vines finally calmed down, and it was obvious that all of the flame-toothed gophers were successfully lured away.
“Let’s grab this chance and move!” Heidi ordered and quickly ran toward the vines.
Next, Morine and Nana looked at each other, nodded, and followed Heidi.
Morine had already mapped out the route for picking the fire spirit fruits, so he directly moved toward his target.
The vines in front of him only had three fire spirit fruits.
Morine grabbed one, and he felt his palm warming.
Then, he plucked the fruit.
His movements were agile, and after he placed all the three fire spirit fruits into his storage bag, Morine swiftly proceeded to another area.
Although the fire spirit fruits were scattered all over, Morine had plucked more than a dozen in less than eight minutes.
He looked at Heidi and Nana, and he noticed that the two of them were also moving fast among the vines.
Morine estimated that they would have roughly the same amount of fruits as him too.
Later, Morine turned to Sebastian and Yohan in the distance, and he saw the two of them maintaining the 100 meters distance between them and the gophers.
At that time, the two herds of gophers were crazily attracted by the candles Sebastian and Yohan were holding, and they were unaware that other people were picking their food.
As for the candles Sebastian and Yohan had, it was only burnt less than half, and there was more than enough time for them.
‘It seems that the following fire spirit fruits I pick can be mine,’ Morine thought.
Suddenly, he heard Nana screaming not far away from him.
Morine turned to look at her, and a loud bang sounded as if a bomb exploded on the ground.
Next, billowing airwaves turned into circles, slamming toward the surroundings.
Soon, a large patch of veins was instantly blown apart, falling everywhere.
As Nana suffered the blow, she staggered backward.
Thankfully, Heidi was standing nearby, and she immediately went to pull Nana.
Before the two of them could calm down, they turned their heads to the middle and gasped.
Morine already ran to them, and at a glance, his heart skipped a beat.
“This is…”
Right in the middle of the explosion, a flame-toothed gopher the size of a small calf appeared.
Its eyes were glowing red, and it flashed its fangs as it stared at them.
This flame-toothed gopher was ten times bigger than those they had seen before.
Moreover, its muscles were firm, the eyes slightly popped out, and they could even see undulating bone spurs at its spine.
With its long tail dragging on the ground like an iron whip, it made a loud thud whenever it slapped on the floor.
