will of the planet

Chapter 124 Chapter 192: Molluscs

"careful!"

A soldier next to him reacted and quickly blocked the hole in the space suit of the explorer, but his speed was still much slower.

Because the detectorist was too flustered, he took a breath of turbid air before realizing something was wrong.

Small green dots appeared on his face, spreading rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning his entire face green in a few seconds.

"What's wrong with my face?" The probe felt that his face became unbearably itchy, and he suddenly became tense.

"It's okay, it's just a little green, let's go back and talk about it." The team leader comforted.

For this kind of poisoning situation, none of the people present knew anything about it. Scanning with the IX bracelet can only tell that this is an unknown bacteria. The obvious condition after poisoning is that the face turns green. Let's talk at the site.

In order to prevent the spread of bacteria, they did simple preventive work, and lifted the explorer to the tracked exploration vehicle loaded with equipment.

But this is not over. There were more than one kind of thing just now, and the sandstorm surprised them all. After walking a few steps, one would pop up from the ground. Fortunately, the group had already prepared themselves, and it was difficult to be caught hit.

Not only that, someone even captured one alive, and took a look with a clip. It was a soft light brown thing that looked like a piece of meat. It had no eyes, only a mouth full of teeth and a chrysanthemum-like XX with a little green inside. The liquid is sprayed out by breathing in the stomach, thereby driving the body, but it takes a long time to accumulate energy.

It means that after this kind of soft-bodied insect completes an ejection, there is basically no threat thereafter.

The degree of danger of this unknown mollusc immediately reduced a lot in everyone's minds.

But this also made the group vigilant in case other dangerous creatures appeared, but this planet is very barren, and they didn't see any creatures other than molluscs along the way.

A group of people also returned to the site smoothly. Lin Xiao noticed that their group was the first to come back, perhaps because they were lucky, after all, they found a vein of minerals without going far.

The other 5 groups also returned to the site one after another. Among them, some of them turned green. It seemed that they also encountered a sneak attack by molluscs. Members of the Blue Maple Group and the underground organization were all recruited, adding up to 10 people.

These 10 people were sent directly to the simple infirmary at the site for treatment. Lin Xiao was not very interested in these.

As time passed, the temperature on the planet also dropped sharply. Even people with strong physiques would not be able to bear such a climate. Creatures that can survive in this environment can still bear it.

After paying attention to these a little bit, Lin Xiao found a place to continue reading. He doesn't know much about aliens now, and needs to replenish his knowledge reserves as soon as possible.

One night passed, and the news from the infirmary was not very good. The 10 poisoned people had not recovered and had a fever, which made them weaker.

There are no other symptoms yet, and the Blue Maple Group is not very worried. A minor illness like this is not worthy of their attention. The only strange thing is why the faces of these patients turn green.

The next day's operation was not interrupted because of the poisoning of these 10 people, and the five groups of people moved one after another to expand the scope of the search.

The weather this time is better, there are no sandstorms, and there are no more dangerous molluscs, but the ore veins are not as easy to find as yesterday.

After running for hundreds of kilometers, Lin Xiao and his group discovered a cave in which there was a new ore vein, which was also a shallow ore vein.

"Ice crystal veins?" the thin man next to him muttered.

Lin Xiao is no stranger to crystals. A small piece of high-quality imitation ice crystals is worth more than 20 yuan, while natural ice crystals cost five times as much.

The ice crystal vein in front of him, from the surface, is at least worth hundreds of millions, and many members of the underground organization directly flashed their greedy eyes.

Of course, they are not stupid. The value of natural ice crystals is very high, but mining is very difficult, otherwise it would not be so expensive.

Even if they know about this ice crystal mine, there is no way to mine it, and they can't stay here forever. Even if they are willing, it is not certain whether the Lanfeng Group will agree.

Compared with the hired members of the underground organization, those scientific researchers are more disappointed. They want to find valuable ores for research, but these ice crystals are very valuable, and the Blue Maple Group cannot give up, so they have to stop Footsteps to mine.

But this time, the members of the underground organization came to help with 'very good intentions', and they couldn't be chased away like flies.

People from the Lanfeng Group also know that now is not the time for internal strife, so they can only compromise and let them in.

Lin Xiao also followed. He is also very short of money now. If he digs out a small piece of ice crystal, it will be a fortune.

Those members of the underground organization, without exception, had the same mentality as him, looking for opportunities to dig out the ice crystals on the stone wall.

but……

Ice crystals are not so easy to dig. They are very hard. At the same time, the stone walls inlaid are not much different. They cannot be drilled with a drill bit. Using tools with stronger destructive power will destroy the stone walls and ice crystals together. Otherwise, Its mining difficulty will not be so high.

The people from the Lanfeng Group obviously knew this, and they started laughing when they saw a few people slumped on the stone wall. Now they understand why the people from the Lanfeng Group let themselves in.

Seeing that everyone was helpless against the stone wall, Lin Xiao suddenly thought of the highly corrosive liquid in the mollusk, which might be able to destroy the stone wall.

It's a pity that no one carries this liquid now, and even if they want to, there is nothing to carry it.

This is not difficult for Lin Xiao. He secretly left the mine and came outside. After making sure that there was no one around, he held his breath directly. He didn't want to test whether he could withstand the poisonous gas. Take the helmet off and finally put your ears on the ground.

Lin Xiao's hearing is very sensitive. After some searching, he finally heard something. He shoveled it suddenly, and a mollusk jumped out in fright. It didn't come out.

Lin Xiao took the mollusk's corpse and quietly returned to the mine, found an empty corner and squeezed the liquid from the mollusk's corpse onto the stone wall.

As soon as the green liquid touched the stone wall, a puff of white smoke rose from where the two sides touched, and a pitted wall appeared in front of them, and an ice crystal and the surrounding stones fell off the stone wall.

Using this method, Lin Xiao quickly obtained several relatively large ice crystals. In order to prevent being noticed, he continued to dig without greed, and then returned to the team.
