Due to the importance of the energy ores, the Sixth Team had even sent out fighter jets this time. There were aircraft and fighter jets in the air, and the birds wouldn't hover above them to inform the red-and-black exotic beasts to cooperate with them. The red-and-black exotic beasts only watched from afar and didn't come over. They knew that it wouldn't end well for them if they forced their way in.
Tang Qiuqiu followed beside Dias. She held a gun in her hand, but her eyes were curiously looking at the plants around her. She had seen some strange plants in the videos before, and seeing them with her own eyes gave her a different feeling. Well, she had to record more videos as souvenirs.
This area was the territory of the red-and-black exotic beasts. No matter which group they belonged to, they wouldn't act rashly if they saw such a situation. It was precisely because they were smarter than the other animals that they wouldn't act rashly.
Without the threat of these two exotic beasts for the time being, Dias's team could spend more energy searching for the energy ores. For the sake of these energy ores, they had even sent out some technicians. They had wanted to send out some robots as well, but the closer they were to the ground, the greater the interference the machines would receive, and their programs would be a little messed up. This was something that would happen in a high-energy field. This was also the reason why they rarely used weapons that could trigger the energy ores here. In the end, they still rejected this idea and sent out manpower to search for the energy ores.
However, even after modifying the parameters and optimizing the detector, it still didn't show any specific information. It couldn't detect the specific location, and it only showed that there were energy ores. If they were to blindly mine, they would probably use up all the energy they brought along. By the time the manpower they had mobilized was almost exhausted, the energy ores might not even show up.
Eudy held the detector casually. Right now, he was only holding it for show. From the looks of it, the modified detector by the technical team wasn't of any use at all. If they were to continue searching like this, they might starve to death and still not get any results.
The Miantuan lay obediently on Eudy's shoulder. It didn't want to be left on the starship, but it was too timid. Once it got out of the aircraft, it stayed close to Eudy. It didn't dare to run around randomly like the Huimao.
Eight hours later, Dias sighed. There was still no progress. If it really didn't work, he could only ask for permission to open a few random holes.
Both fighters and spaceplanes consumed a lot of energy. If they couldn't find any energy here, then they would've suffered a great loss. They still had to stay in Sector Z for a while, and if they couldn't replenish their energy and deplete their reserves prematurely, then they would face a very difficult situation.
Di di di —
The alarm indicated that there were animal lifeforms coming their way at high speed. The members of the advance team, who had similar experiences before, reflexively tensed their nerves and quickly adjusted their state of mind. They ignored the detectors and prepared their firepower first. It couldn't be helped. Once bitten, twice shy. It was just a conditioned reflex. Could it be that there were waves and waves of traps waiting in front of him?
"Wait, it's Wheeze!" Silin motioned for everyone to calm down, "That guy probably found the energy ores."
The first sentence did relax everyone's taut nerves a little, but the second sentence was undoubtedly another bomb. They had wasted eight hours exploring with the detectors. In order to record accurate data and send it back to the starship for parameter calculation and further upgrade of the detectors, everyone was on foot. Not only did they have to be vigilant of the animals and plants around them, they also had to keep an eye on the detectors for minute changes. It was practically exhausting. But the cat that ran away the moment the hatch opened could find the energy ores? If that was true, then they were practically trash compared to a cat.
A gray shadow flashed by and jumped onto Silin's shoulder. It was none other than Huimao's Wheeze.
Silin raised his hand and placed it next to its mouth. Then, Huimao spat out a fingernail-sized black and red crystal with a spit.
After checking the size of the crystal, Silin glanced meaningfully at Huimao. Huimao turned its head and looked at the surrounding scenery with an innocent expression.
It had indeed "eaten" a meal before coming over, and when it came over, it had specifically bitten off a crystal the size of an egg. However, as it held it in its mouth, it had unknowingly absorbed some of the crystal, reducing it to the size of a fingernail.
When Huimao spat out the small crystal, everyone's eyes were focused on Silin's hand. Silin handed the crystal to Dias.
Dias carefully took the small black and red crystal. It was obviously a deep black and red, but it gave off a sparkling and translucent feeling. At the same time, it was so deep that it was full of fatal temptation.
Dias slowly brought the small black and red crystal in his hand closer to the detector. When it was about five meters away, the detector suddenly had an abnormal reaction. As the distance got closer, the detector's sound became more rapid and sharp. After a rapid high-frequency sound, the detector exploded. At this time, the crystal in Dias's hand was still more than three meters away from the detector. Only less than two meters could cause such a huge change. It had to be said that this energy ore was amazing.
"What a powerful energy field!" Everyone's eyes shone. An energy ore of this quality only needed a cube that was about a meter long to make up for all the energy they had used up since they entered Sector Z.
"This reminds me of those black and red alien beasts, and those horny skinned beasts with slightly black keratin and bony plates on the front half of their bodies. Maybe it's because of this energy ore buried under the ground that the high energy field produced by this energy ore had stimulated them to develop hard epidermis even when they couldn't sense the existence of the energy field. After a long period of evolution, this hard epidermis gradually developed completely." Eudy analyzed.
"Other than the animals, the plants in the forest are also slightly hard. Maybe it really is because of this energy ore. If this guess is correct, then we have truly found a treasure!" Dias looked at the black and red crystal in his hand and said excitedly.
The appearance of every new high quality energy ore would set off a wave, and the Sixth Team's trip this time was definitely not in vain. As long as they could get their hands on this energy ore, their Sixth Team would be able to stand tall in the entire Vanguard Hunter regiment even if they didn't gain anything else in Sector Z.
"Wheeze, you really are the treasure of our squad! Haha! "Kari tossed the detector aside and walked over to scratch Huimao's chin.
Huimao narrowed his eyes in enjoyment, but Silin knew that it wasn't Kari's praise or chin scratching. It was because the cat had eaten its fill and was thinking about sleeping!
"Heh, Wheeze, where did you find this? Bring us over to take a look." Dias spoke to Huimao in a tone one would use between friends. He didn't mean to order it at all. He knew that this cat was special.
Huimao swatted away Kari's hand, tilted its head and scratched its neck with its hind legs. Then, it yawned and stuck out its butt, stretched its waist and smacked its lips. Finally, it said slowly, "Sure."
It jumped down from Silin's shoulder in a flash and ran in a certain direction.
"Hurry up and keep up!"
Dias directly used his hoverboard. Those who had hoverboards behind them also used theirs and flew over. Those who did not have hoverboards returned to the aircraft and followed the people who were in front of them.
Huimao led them through a series of twists and turns until they reached a certain part of the forest. The density of the trees there was very high, and the trunks of the trees were getting thicker and thicker. Everyone had to squeeze in one by one. Those who were slightly fatter or those with more developed muscles might not be able to make it through. When Dias wanted to use his knife to chop off a few branches, he realized that the trees there looked similar to the trees in the forest, but they were at least ten times harder!
Dias didn't order them to cut down the trees on a large scale. His intention was to first find the location of the energy mine and then deal with it according to the situation.
Just as Dias felt that his bones were starting to deform from being squeezed, Huimao turned to look at him. "You can't squeeze in anymore? That's fine, that's fine too. There are energy ores all over this area. "
After taking two deep breaths, Dias asked, "The range of energy ores … starts from here?"
Huimao had an innocent look on his face. "No, it starts from the place where some of you with more developed muscles couldn't squeeze in."
Dias: "…"
His eyes nearly rolled back and he vomited blood. Dias was filled with regret. The place that Huimao had mentioned was more than 500 meters from where they were. In other words, when he had squeezed so hard that his internal organs were about to deform, he was told that he had squeezed for more than 500 meters for nothing!
"Why didn't you say so earlier?" Dias gritted his teeth.
"Because the quality of the energy ores there was not good. The one I gave you is better than the one there. However, you still have to go further in." Huimao didn't seem to have done anything wrong.
Beside him, Silin shook his head. This cat was really slow. It just looked smart.
