"Rustle" With a small sound in the sand, Lucius quickly crouched down and hid behind a low sand wall, waiting for his prey to take the bait.

Looking at the few crystal nuclei in his hand, Lucius was obviously not satisfied, because the crystal nuclei in his hand were too few, and the energy that could be released by just a few crystal nuclei was not enough to support the steam car for how long, and more importantly, some of the devices on the car also needed energy to drive.

Lucius put away the crystal nucleus, sighed and said to himself, "Hey, it's really a drop in the bucket. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a dull roar sounded from behind the sand wall, and Lucius did not hesitate.

Leaping over the sand wall that covered him, he raised the gun in his hand and aimed it at the sand beast that had been trapped, and it was unceremoniously a shot.

The muzzle of the gun spewed out a cold breath, and in an instant, the struggling sand beast froze.

After the sand beast was frozen, Lucius rushed to the sand beast with a quick step, and was very skilled in breaking through the ice.

Without the need to completely thaw the sand beast, Lucius easily took out the crystal nucleus of the sand beast from the broken opening, and weighed the crystal nucleus in his hand twice.

Using his own mechanical source core to test, he immediately shook his head and said to himself: "Damn, it's this inferior product again, isn't there a more refined sand beast in this area? Or is it that in this sand sea in the Red Heart Empire, the energy of the sand beasts is not pure?"

Lucius had already killed nearly ten sand beasts in a row, and the energy contained in the crystal nucleus of the sand beasts obtained was very thin and not so pure.

Comparatively speaking, it is not as good as the group of sand beasts led by the Sand Beast King before, and even the energy in the crystal nucleus of some sand beasts is very mixed, and it cannot be directly used as a driving energy source at all.

This result made Lucius feel a little depressed, knowing that what he lacked most now was energy. Although there are workshops in the city of Distri that can process parts for steam cars, there is no way to provide kinetic energy, and if a suitable alternative energy source is not found, the steam cars cannot be used after they are assembled.

Lucius said to himself very unhappily: "I still don't believe it, since the crystal nucleus of the sand beast can't work, then I'll find some other crystal nucleus creatures to try." ”

Just do it, and Lucius knows very well that he doesn't have much time now. Because he didn't know what the King of Hearts was doing, he felt that everything had to be prepared in advance to be able to do more with less.

Leaving the sand wall, Lucius looked at the sky, took out his pocket watch to check the time, and found that it was actually early, so he left the town and walked deeper into the sand sea.

Maybe for others. I didn't dare to rush into the sand sea, for fear that I would get lost in the sand sea.

But Lucius was not worried, because he had everything ready and had a special compass. Never get lost in the sand.

Leaving the town of Yellow Sand, Lucius headed straight into the depths of the Sand Sea, passing sand dunes along the way.

It alarmed a lot of sand beasts hiding in the sea of sand, but those sand beasts didn't have much attraction to Lucius.

After all, the energy of the sand beast's crystal nucleus. Not enough to satisfy the needs of Lucius.

Therefore, if the sand beast does not provoke him, Lucius will not take the initiative to attack the sand beast.

Traveling in the sea of sand without danger and looking for a long time. Finally Lucius saw what he was looking for, an oasis of greenery.

Seeing the oasis, Lucius felt very happy, because he knew very well that in the special environment of the sand sea, all the oases had crystal nucleus life, just like those strange vines before, which could form the crystal nucleus life of the oasis, indicating that the energy contained in their crystal nuclei was more pure.

Without the slightest hesitation, Lucius went straight into the oasis, not afraid of the crystal nucleus life in the oasis at all.

The moment Lucius stepped into the oasis, the green grass under his feet suddenly began to grow wildly, and almost instantly the green grass grew taller than Lucius, and the thick grass stems were like towering trees.

I have to say that the plant crystal nucleus life in the sand sea is really different.

Before, Lucius and the others encountered strange vines, but now they encountered green grass that can grow into big trees.

Lucius looked at the stalks of the grass that grew taller and thicker, and couldn't believe that the grass could grow like this.

Soon, the strange grass began to pull out its forks, and those forks turned into a sharp sword, which stabbed directly at Lucius.

Grass thorns from all sides attacked Lucius, completely encircling him for a moment, barely giving him any chance to escape.

Seeing that the grass thorns that were pulled out were about to pierce Lucius, suddenly Lucius was wrapped in metal armor, and at the same time, the metal wings behind him were running wildly, as if turning into a lawn mower, cutting all those grasses in an instant.

In the blink of an eye, Lucius cut off all the thick green grass around him, and shook the metal wings behind him, and the whole person rose into the air and began to rush towards the depths of the oasis.

Despite its tall and thick growth, the grass was still very fragile, and it was quickly cut off by the vibration of the metal wings behind Lucius.

Lecius is like a lawn mower, cutting off the green grass in the oasis in an instant, and in the blink of an eye, the green grass in the oasis is cleaned up.

In the center of the oasis, a vibrant green grass appeared in his field of vision, and Lucius could see at a glance that in the center of the grass stem, there was a crystal nucleus that emitted pure energy.

couldn't help but lick his lips, Lucius smiled and said to himself: "Yes, yes, this is the real crystal nucleus." ”

Shaking the wings behind him, Lucius was like a flying eagle, directly from mid-air, and pounced on the pillar of grass.

However, when he was about to touch the grass, suddenly the green grass around him grew wildly, like a sharp sword piercing the sky.

Forced Lucius back and didn't let Lucius get close to the grass.

Seeing that the green grass began to grow wildly again, Lucius shouted and scolded with some annoyance: "Damn, don't you know that you are wasting energy at all? Obediently hand over the crystal nucleus, I promise not to damage your rhizome, otherwise I will uproot you." ”

The green grass seemed to understand what Lucius said, and after Lecius's threat, those green grasses grew more fiercely.

Obviously angered by Lucius's words, he wanted to prove to Lucius that he was the master of this oasis, and that Lucius, the intruder, would not end well.

Seeing this, Lucius was really annoyed, and the next moment he raised his arms and pointed his gun at the green grass.

As Lucius turned the chamber of the gun and pulled the trigger, flames erupted from the muzzle, and the flames jumped and rushed towards the green grass, and in the blink of an eye, the oasis turned into a sea of fire.

By the time Lucius stepped out of the flames with a turquoise nucleus in his hand, the oasis had been burned to the ground.

Looking back at the scorched oasis, Lucius sighed helplessly: "It's all said, don't anger me, you just have to force me to do this kind of thing that makes you destroy your roots, just leave you a way to live, I hope you can still live." ”

With that, Lucius raised the gun in his hand, twisted the turntable in the middle of the chamber again, pulled the trigger and fired a shot at the skydome, and then a heavy rain fell on the sky, which instantly extinguished the fire in the oasis. (To be continued......)
