My sampan can be upgraded

The center of the floating island is a large mountain, five thousand meters high and covering an area of ​​dozens of kilometers. The grass and vines on the mountain grew surprisingly lush, covering the entire mountain tightly, leaving no gaps at all.

In addition to the dense vines and grass, another feature of this mountain is that it has a very regular shape, as round as a sphere that is mostly buried.

The warships of Qu Shaocheng and Weng Jiahong were wandering on this mountain. They were looking for surprises among the dense plants, expecting to find something strange. For example, Kong Ming grass, according to the information, is easy to grow in such an environment.

This Kong Ming Grass is one of the wonder medicines. Taking it directly can help the peak practitioners of the Star Realm greatly increase their chances of being promoted to the Galaxy Realm. It is a priceless treasure and is the main goal of Qu Shaocheng's adventure this time.

However, in this lush mountain of grass, even if there is a Kongming grass, it is extremely difficult to find. At this time, Qu Shaocheng and Weng Jiahong each brought more than 20 dandies with their eyes wide open to identify them in the location imaging. It would be difficult to gain anything for a while.

Ling Qi drove the maintenance spacecraft over, because at this time the nearest team had completed mining, and the next location was to be explored here.

Qu Shaocheng saw the maintenance spacecraft approaching, glanced at it and stopped paying attention. However, the next moment, a request for dialogue was sent to him from the maintenance spacecraft.

"Why did this guy who hogs the limelight contact me?" Qu Shaocheng was confused. He suddenly remembered that he heard Ling Qi's voice on the fleet channel was familiar. He couldn't remember who it was, so he connected to the radio.

Later, Ling Qi appeared on the communication projection.

"What the hell?" Qu Shaocheng was stunned. Even if he wanted to break his head, he would never have thought that the engineer who stole the show was Ling Qi. This guy didn't have a super battleship, but he followed him in this way, and he made a splash while repairing the equipment.

Ling Qi ignored his shock and asked directly: "What are you looking for?"

"Kong Ming Grass..."

Qu Shaocheng had not yet recovered from the shock. After answering subconsciously, he woke up and said, "Why are you here?"

After asking like this, he felt like he was mentally retarded. He had clearly noticed that Ling Qi had applied for the job as a maintenance engineer, so why did he ask such an uneducated question?

Ling Qi said casually and immediately looked up the information about Kong Ming Cao online. Qu Shaocheng couldn't stand his attitude, his face darkened, and he simply cut off the conversation. Ling Qi didn't care either. After reading the introduction of Kong Ming Cao, his eyes suddenly lit up.

These eyes are really shining. After activating the special effect of the "Treasure Recognition" skill, Ling Qi's eyes shine like golden eyes, but only he can see the effect of this skill.

The camera swept across the mountains below, and Ling Qi kept his eyes on the image while maintaining the special effects of his skills. Since the health bar can be seen on the communication projection and exterior imaging, if there is a Kongming Grass, he believes that he will definitely be able to see the Baoguang.

After searching a large area like this, Ling Qi found nothing. He didn't believe that the skill was invalid, it could only be that there was no Kong Ming Grass in this area.

At this time, an exclamation suddenly came from the fleet channel, and Ling Qi recognized it as coming from the nearest team. They had just finished cleaning up the last insect hole and came to the mountain to start exploration.

"It's strange. The signal of the high-power ground penetrating radar is weakened layer by layer. It only reaches a few tens of meters and then completely disappears. It cannot be transmitted out at all!" The person in charge of the team said in shock. They pulled out the robotic arm and drilled the mountain again a hundred meters away. Then they inserted the huge probe into the mountain dozens of meters deep and sent out detection waves again.

The result is still the same. There seem to be countless layers of protective bodies inside the mountain, preventing the detection waves from traveling deeper.

"Is this round mountain some kind of special structure created after tomorrow?"

"I guess this floating island was once a habitable planet that was invaded by insects. This mountain is the ultimate defense body. Maybe there is also such a defense body on the other side that is submerged by sea water. I don't know about this planet. How was he captured by the cosmic sea?"

"It's possible, it looks like we need to dig a lot!"

…

There was a lot of discussion on the fleet channel, and Ling Qi also believed in this speculation. But if that's the case, what about the ninth-level female insect mucus crystals he needs? Didn't this Zerg race evolve to level nine yet?

"Level 9 is already the strongest level below the god level. It is indeed not easy to reach. However, more than a dozen level 8 worm holes have been discovered and mined before, and more than 200,000 tons of level 8 crystals have been harvested. It stands to reason that there are so many The eighth level means that the resources were extremely rich at the beginning, and it should have been able to evolve to the ninth level."

Ling Qi thought again that if a bug reached this level, he would probably have extraordinary wisdom and strength. Why would he give up such rich resources here and leave?

"Huh? There are bugs!" The team over there exclaimed again, startling everyone. Damn it, are all the bugs on the floating island concentrated here? Everyone looked over nervously, ready to respond at any time.

Qu Shaocheng and Weng Jiahong did not dare to run around anymore, and even the teams over there stopped working on the dozens of other worm holes that were still being mined.

"dead?"

It turned out that when they pulled out the robotic arm this time, a half-meter-long beetle corpse was brought out from the top, and the corpse of the insect had been corrupted to the point where only an empty shell was left.

Something fishy!

Guan Tong looked solemn and ordered the surrounding teams that had not yet completed mining to speed up.

Here, the two escorting warships were at war with each other, nervously paying attention to the mountain below. The spacecraft was replaced with a rake device and excavated directly. Under the powerful digging of the mountain, large chunks of soil were pulled away, and a large pit with a diameter of tens of meters was quickly formed.

Suddenly, the fleet channel went silent, and people looked at the layers of insect corpses exposed at the bottom of the pit in horror. All these insect corpses have only empty shells left, and the supposedly hard insect shells have decayed to a certain extent, which shows that they have been dead for a long time.

Did the bugs burrow into the mountain and die, or were they covered by dust dozens of meters thick after death?

"Keep digging!" Guan Tong ordered.

The results of this exploration have been extremely rich, exceeding his expectations. There are more than 200,000 tons of level 8 crystals alone, and nearly 500,000 tons of level 7 crystals. Although there are many middle and low-level insect caves left, the crystal content in each low-level insect cave is far less than that of high-level insect caves. There are only more than 900,000 tons in total. Even so, he was satisfied, and even if he went back now, his trip would be in vain.

But the current scene made Guan Tong unable to turn a blind eye. Everyone wanted to find out and find out the truth under the mountain.

As the pit was dug deeper and deeper, the insect corpses in the lower layer became larger and larger, and they were piled tightly together without anything else mixed in between them.

"Why do I feel that this round mountain is simply a worm tomb?" Ling Qi swallowed and said.

Suddenly, a strange atmosphere enveloped the mountain.
