On the spaceplane, Shawton looked very happy at the data displayed by the energy analyzer in his hand. He promised repeatedly that he would not mistreat the gray cat as long as it could find the source of the energy. He even promised to give the gray cat tens of thousands of GAL credits. Although this amount of money was too little for the gray cat since it had always measured money in the hundreds of millions, it was still meat no matter how small a mosquito was. The gray cat accepted the money out of respect, and most importantly, Shawton allowed it to give the gray cat special treatment openly.
When he found out that Silin's gene level had evolved to Grade-A, Shotton congratulated him happily and did not ask too many questions.
The first place they arrived at was where the cold beauty Assia's team was. Previously, Assia's team had landed at a place where the rivers crisscrossed. From the sky, all they could see was a green river.
Unlike the creatures in the forest, which had hard skin on their bodies, there were not many animals with hard skin on their bodies in this green river. Some small mammals like rabbits were active in the area around the river. However, they had a special characteristic — their bodies were generally green.
The creatures in the river were not to be underestimated. Just like the green blobs that Kari had encountered before, they all carried deadly toxins. One of the members of Assia's team had almost lost his life in the hands of these small blobs. These green blobs were originally flat like leaves in the river. However, when they discovered prey on the surface of the water, they would fill their bodies with gas and float to the surface of the water. Then, they would swim toward the prey and inject the toxins into the tissues of the prey, causing these parts to become soft and fluid for them to absorb.
There were many hidden dangers in the river, especially a type of large jellyfish. Their long tentacles would extend out of the water to capture the land creatures that were closer to the river. There were also some amphibians that Assia and the rest had been guarding against.
When Silin and Huimao arrived, Assia and the rest were resting at a place far away from the river bank. Shotton asked them to stop what they were doing and wait. Up until now, they had made no progress in their exploration. Moreover, ten minutes ago, they had exchanged fire with more than ten frog-like big guys.
Assia and the rest had been exploring for a long time but they still had no idea where to start. The technicians were sweating profusely and constantly changed the parameters of the detector to better match the situation here. However, the results were not satisfactory. When they heard that Captain Shotton had a solution, they could finally rest more comfortably. However, they did not expect that the "solution" that they had been waiting for was a cat. They had also heard that Dias's team had a cat that always followed the Miantuan into trouble.
Assia looked at Huimao, who was sniffing left and right on Silin's shoulder. She frowned and said nothing.
Shotton said to Assia, "Get everyone ready. We're going to start looking for ores. Those who have hoverboards, get on the hoverboards. Those who don't, get on the aircraft. Also, get your weapons ready in case those things in the river come out and cause trouble again." After saying that, Shotton turned to look at Huimao with a smile. "Wheeze, please."
Huimao ignored him. After sniffing and confirming a direction, it jumped down from Silin's shoulder and ran in a certain direction.
Silin activated his hoverboard and followed behind. Shotton signaled for everyone to follow. However, Shotton did not get on the aircraft. Instead, he activated the hoverboard in his backpack and chased after the gray shadow with Silin.
Huimao only wanted to find the energy ore as soon as possible, so it chose the shortest route — a straight line.
Regardless of whether it was land or a river, Huimao was still traveling in a straight line. Because of this, everyone was surprised.
At first, Shotton was going to ask someone to help clear away the green obstacles next to Huimao, but Silin said that it was fine and that the little guy could handle it. What happened later proved that it was true.
F * ck, this cat could actually swim, and it swam faster than fish in the water!
F * ck, why was the cat covered in those green obstacles? It shook itself on the shore and was completely fine!
What kind of cat was this? It could actually swim in such a dangerous place as if it was playing!
When the jellyfish reached out their skilled hands, the people in the sky fired their guns. Although everyone's target was the jellyfish, it was still a jellyfish and a hail of bullets. If it had been someone else, they would have been scared out of their wits, or at least panicked. However, this cat continued to swim as usual, turning a deaf ear to what was happening around it. It was very calm. Looking at Silin, it was true that the cat was like its owner. It was as calm as the wind without a trace.
Not long after, Huimao stopped on a piece of land at the junction of two rivers. Then, Huimao began to dig a hole. Its two front paws were like drills, and in a short while, it had completely drilled into the ground.
Assia and the others watched with their mouths twitching. This cat … Not only was it good at swimming like a fish, it could also dig holes like a mouse!
Shotton gestured for everyone to wait on the surface. Silin looked around.
There were no trees or tall plants on this piece of land. It was covered with a thick layer of something that looked like moss. A technician used an instrument to measure it. The photosynthesis of this moss-like plant was actually more than two hundred times faster than that of normal moss!
Previously, they had discovered that the concentration of oxygen in the air near the river was very high, but that level of oxygen concentration was still bearable. However, the oxygen concentration here was too high. If this continued for a long time, everyone would suffer from oxygen poisoning. Therefore, everyone put on a mask. The mask would adjust the oxygen concentration in the air to an acceptable range.
After about an hour, Huimao jumped out and spat out a small emerald green piece in front of Silin. Even though it was such a small piece, it seemed to reflect a lush world that was full of vitality.
Seeing this emerald green energy ore, even the usually calm Assia could not help but feel excited. She had never seen this kind of energy ore before. This was the energy ore that they were looking for!!
Although it was only slightly more than an hour, it was enough for Huimao to have a good meal down there.
Since they knew that there was an energy ore here, Shotton, Assia, and the others began to formulate a plan. From time to time, they would ask Huimao about it. Huimao licked his paws and wiped his beard as he answered lazily.
"How does the ore taste?" Silin asked.
Huimao smirked. "The taste is not bad. If the black and red energy ore is meat, then this emerald energy ore is vegetables. Just like how I occasionally eat vegetables. Eating vegetables helps to reduce internal heat, and it's also beneficial to me. "
Indeed, cats would sometimes eat grass.
Huimao jumped onto Silin's shoulder and whispered into Silin's ear, "Swim to the bottom of the river. You'll be able to reach the energy ore."
Silin thinks for a moment, then walked over to Shotton and said, "Captain, Wheeze and I will go down to the river to take a look. It said that we might be able to reach the energy ore from there."
"That's a good idea. Although it will be more difficult to mine from the river, it will be more hidden. Should we send someone to help? "Shotton said.
"No need. Wheeze and I can handle it."
"Alright, be careful."
After Silin and Huimao jumped into the river, Assia said, "You trust him that much?" Whether it was his ability or his character.
Shotton smiled. "I trust Dias."
Assia was silent after hearing that, but her furrowed brows were smoothed out.
