Volume II, Chapter 43: Unknown Lifeforms

Chitaki took a deep breath, this is estimated to be enough if he falls, he stabilized his mentality, and began to continue to climb upward, saying that it is very difficult for the bulky miner to climb this fault.

The whole fault shook more and more severely at this time, and cracks began to appear in the surrounding rock walls, and more and more broken rocks fell off, but fortunately, good luck seemed to miss them, and the entire fault did not collapse in an instant, and the scope of the collapse should end here.

Chitaki raised his left arm of the machine, and the mountain chisel pierced the rock wall above, ready to climb up, at this time, the pupils of Chitaki shrank sharply, and the crack began to appear in the position where the mountain chisel was smashed.

The rifts spread out like cobwebs, covering the area.

Then there was a bang, and a large landslide began to occur throughout the area.

The whole miner began to fall down the sliding rock wall, and at this time, two fixed ropes shot down from above, and in an instant, the Chitaki operator unloaded the mountain chisel and reached out to grab the two fixed ropes.

With a plop, the chisel fell into the hot magma with a clatter.

Standing on the fault, Aina, the whole miner couldn't help but slide forward.

Jones rushed over at this point, reached out and grabbed Aina's miner's arm, and began to pull back.

The miners of Chitaki who kept falling stabilized their figures, and Chitaki operated the miners to step on the rock wall with their feet, adjust their posture from the beginning, and climb up the next time.

A few minutes later, Chitaki climbed up as well.

Aina and Jones breathed a sigh of relief, and the shaking of the earth began to slow down.

The three of them successfully boarded the fault and looked into the distance, and the road they came on had turned into an endless sea of red at this time.

Suddenly, Jones said in fear in the communication channel, "You, what the hell is that?" ”

Chitaki and Aina couldn't help but look over, and the optical imaging began to adjust and expand.

In the boiling magma ocean, a huge black figure quickly swept through the red ocean, stretching for dozens of kilometers, making people's scalps tingle.

Chitaki instinctively shouted, "Go!" ”

The trio drove the miners and ran straight away from the area.

People's habitual thinking is to subconsciously regard irresistible phenomena as natural disasters, if this is not a natural disaster? That is an irrepressible fear, and the best way to face it is to flee!

The three of them drove the miners, and they didn't know how long they had been running forward, but they knew that they were very tired, and they couldn't see the red sea behind them.

Chitaki said tiredly in the communication channel, "Let's rest here for a while." ”

Jones replied to Aina, "Okay. ”

Originally thought that this was a dead and silent world, and the danger they had to face was nothing more than a natural disaster, only to find out that there were unreasonable creatures inhabiting here, Chitaki actually didn't understand until now, how did this place give birth to life, it should not exist, and there are no conditions suitable for breeding life here.

Silence fell back into the communication channel, and none of the three spoke, as if asleep.

After a break of about three hours, Chitaki Operator Miner stood up, unloaded the probing equipment again, and stabbed the probe needle heavily into the ground and began to adjust the mount.

Aina also drove over in a mecha at this time to help adjust the fix.

Jones said tiredly in the communication channel, "Don't take a break? Resources are not something that can be found in a moment. ”

Chitaki replied, "I know, I've been resting for a while. ”

After twenty minutes of fixing, Chitaki clicked on the switch of the detector, and the bottom probe began to rotate at high speed through the surface and drill inside.

After about forty minutes, the probe stopped rotating, and a smaller needle extends from the inside of the probe.

Chitaki continued to collect data with a blank face, and he didn't have much hope, in fact, he did it just to find something to do for himself and distract himself.

Analyzing, analyzing, Chitaki suddenly stopped and looked at the values above suspiciously.

The content of titanium elements is 50%.

So familiar, Chitaki rubbed his eyes, making sure he was not mistaken, he pondered for a few seconds, and asked in the communication channel.

"Titanite is not a resource to look for."

Jones, who was still sitting, immediately got up.

"Titanium? Are you sure? ”

Chitaki began to share the analyzed data with the two of them, and Aina glanced at the detection data and spoke.

"Jones, you go to the west, I'll go to the east, and find out the extent of this mining area."

"Okay?"

"We're not here to find the Energy Crystal Mine?" Chitaki hesitated and asked subconsciously.

Jones coughed in the channel and said, "Big brother, we also have to eat, it's good to find resources, energy crystals are secondary, if the resources in this mining area are large enough, our exploration mission can be regarded as over." ”

Aina spoke, "Get to work. ”

"Okay." Jones seemed to be resurrected.

The three of them were busy for more than ten hours, and after repeated exploration, it was basically determined that Qianlong was an area of 50 kilometers around the center, and the reaction of Dao Titanite could be detected, and it was basically determined that this was a large mining area.

As night fell, the three of them regrouped, and Aina spoke.

"Let's install the signal transmitter, this mission is completed, although we haven't found the energy crystal, but it's also a rich recovery."

Jones nodded and said, "I agree, get out of this place early." ”

Chitaki fell silent at this time, and Aina and Jones asked when they saw that Chitaki didn't speak.

"Chitaki, what's wrong with you?"

Chitaki said, "I want to discuss something with you. ”

"You say." Jones replied with a smile.

"You guys install transmitters here, I'm going to explore other areas." Chitaki said seriously.

"Hey, Chitaki, you have to think about how dangerous it is here, it's stormy and cracked at every turn, and we're still good at completing the task." Jones hurriedly dissuaded.

"Jones." Aina interrupted Jones.

Jones couldn't help but shut up when she heard Aina's words, and Aina said to Chitaki seriously.

"Have you figured it out?"

"I've figured it out." Chitaki replied.

"Be careful on the road, you should have a spare transmitter on you, and if you find something and you don't have time to get back here to join us, use that to inform the Hiboni." Aina replied.

"Okay." Chitaki nodded.

After Chitaki finished speaking, the driver drove the miner away, and Jones couldn't help but say when he saw Chitaki leaving his back.

"Aina, you really let that kid find out on his own, are you crazy?"

"Haven't you wondered why we didn't find resources along the way?" Aina spoke.
