Chapter 9 They've found the origin of the wind!! ...
Ai Ying listened anxiously to the thuds of the Zerg behind her, her short blade almost sparking as she swung it.
He was terrified that if he was even a little slow, these inexplicably crazy Zerg would notice him and kill him under their pincers.
Just as her hands began to tremble from exhaustion, the sounds behind her grew fainter and fainter until they disappeared from her ears.
Ai Ying looked at the stone wall, which no longer reflected the shadows of the insectoids, and silently exhaled. The hand that had been holding the short blade, now raised, smoothly transitioned into the most effortless arc.
They're finally gone!
If these Zerg continue to stay here, she, a lazy Gu Master, will soon become a model worker in interstellar mining!
but……
Although she could tell that most of the Zerg had left, she had studied the art of deception for a long time, and while being cautious, she was also well aware of the preferences of various superiors and overseers.
There might be a few overseers secretly monitoring them, or the Zerg might launch a surprise attack.
So although Ai Ying's stone-carving movements were a little less strenuous, she still looked like she was working hard and enthusiastically.
The stone wall in front of her had been almost completely explored and excavated by her mental power, and there were no high-grade calo stones present.
While using her mental energy to probe the last rock, she also took a moment to observe the chisel marks on the stone wall in front of her.
Huh?
Ai Ying stared brightly in one direction:
This chisel mark looks like a ladybug resting on a rock!
As one's mental strength is continuously refined, when there is a subtle connection between emotions and insects, the Gu technique silently integrates into the outward manifestation of mental strength.
Ai Ying looked at the chisel marks, but before she could examine them closely, she caught a glimpse of two Zerglings standing up fiercely.
Ai Ying's breath hitched:
She knew it—
Sure enough, there are still Zerg here who are not at ease!
A professional smile curved her lips, her eyes filled with determination:
Work, work, work!
She loves her job! She loves her job! She loves her job!
The already sparse Gu magic in the air dissipated with the wind, leaving no trace.
The two Zerg guards at the mine also disappeared from everyone's sight.
But everyone knew they hadn't left.
In the silence, everyone worked desperately to chisel the stone, no longer daring to be distracted.
Soon, the last rock in front of Lali was also explored.
Urged on by the electronic shackles starting to discharge, he had to find the next section of the rock face as soon as possible to continue his exploration.
Otherwise, he might be led by the shackles into an even more dangerous cave.
But when he looked up, he saw Ai Ying not far away also searching for the new stone wall, and his eyes turned sinister.
They dared to snatch the repair fluid from him.
Does he really think that just because the Zerg are here, he can't do anything to her?
He pretended to be diligently investigating the stone wall, subtly approaching Ai Ying's direction.
After figuring out the location of the cave, he squeezed hard against her.
Ai Ying never expected that someone would dare to make a move under the watchful eyes of the Zerg, and was pushed to the cave entrance without any preparation.
The shackles on her feet sensed the presence of the unexplored area and continued to pull her deeper into the cave.
When she realized she couldn't leave, she immediately reached out and grabbed the wrist of the person in front of her tightly.
She exerts tremendous force when she suddenly pulls on something, and before Larry could react, she had dragged him into the cave.
Charlotte, standing to the side, watched this scene unfold, unable to react in time, and could only watch helplessly as the two were swallowed by darkness.
She gripped the short blade tightly in her hand:
Ai Ying was resented by Larry because she helped Larry steal that bottle of repair fluid.
She raised her head, her body trembling slightly, yet she resolutely walked into the cave:
Since they had agreed to leave this place together.
Then she naturally had to keep a close eye on Ai Ying.
Tell her not to break her promise.
Inside the cave.
Larry looked at Ai Ying, who was standing to the side, smiling at him, and suddenly clenched his hands, suppressing the urge to beat her to death.
How dare she!
He was breathing heavily through his nostrils, but the emotion in his eyes was more fear than anger.
Everyone knows that chiseling stone in the cave can, to some extent, avoid the Zerg's gaze and perhaps even escape a Zerg riot.
But why didn't anyone choose to enter the cave?
Of course, it's because the dangers inside the cave are no less than those outside.
Some of the excavated caves, since it was confirmed that no karostone existed there, became resting places for many humans on the planet Karo.
There are also some caves that have not been explored, but there is a very high probability that karochons can be found there.
But how could precious karos be mined so easily?
Due to the unique nature of caves, human spiritual energy can easily resonate with karochas.
After the resonance, the entire cave will collapse, and everything inside will be submerged in rock, with the karos stone disappearing once more.
Therefore, when everyone was chiseling the stone, they collectively avoided the cave.
He spent a long time on Carlo Star and witnessed many people being forced into caves in shackles, never to emerge again.
Thinking of this, Larry gritted his teeth and stared intently at Ai Ying in front of him.
If he gets out of here, he'll definitely make her pay!
Facing Larry's angry glare, Ai Ying waved to him as if he were a friend.
Seeing his chest heaving violently with anger at her actions, she blinked indifferently.
The Zerg are still outside, and he doesn't dare to make a move anyway.
She knew that this person had long held a grudge against her because of the repair fluid incident.
There's no use in her hiding; trying to please him will only make him take advantage of her.
It would be better to let him know from the beginning that he is not someone to be trifled with.
That way, he'll have to think twice before he tries to harm her in the future.
As the two stared at each other in silence, footsteps approached.
Upon seeing the figure appear in her line of sight, Ai Ying's smile suddenly froze.
She looked at her in disbelief, silently questioning:
Why did you come in?
From Larry's expression, she knew how dangerous the cave was.
In such a dangerous place, most people would run for their lives, so why did she...?
Charlotte didn't answer, but walked steadily to her side.
She shook her head, signaling Ai Ying not to move, and whispered to her the precautions she needed to take in the cave:
"Kalok stones can easily resonate with human spiritual energy."
"When using mental power, you should be as gentle as possible, otherwise it can be very dangerous."
“If we stop any longer, the shackles will punish us.”
She walked very lightly, and as she passed Ai Ying, she reminded her, just as she had when they first spoke:
"Get to work."
Ai Ying stared intently at Charlotte, but still didn't make a move.
Charlotte, seeing the worry on her face, smiled reassuringly at her:
"Didn't we agree to leave together?"
"Have some faith in us."
"We will definitely get out safely."
After hearing her words of comfort, Ai Ying pursed her lips and nodded vigorously.
Larry, listening to their commotion, glared at them both fiercely until the shackles stung him, then he turned back and fearfully began chiseling at the rock face in the cave.
He would pause for a long time after each chisel stroke, and only begin the second chisel stroke when he had no choice but to continue.
They feared that the mental energy they used while chiseling the stone would resonate with the karos stone and destroy the cave.
Hearing the faintest sound of chiseling stone not far away, Ai Ying's gaze gradually darkened.
If it weren't for him, she wouldn't have come to the cave.
Charlotte wouldn't be here to accompany her; she should have stayed in a safer place.
This was the first time she had ever hated someone like this.
Feeling the stinging pain in her ankle, she snapped out of her daze, and gently touched the stone wall with the short blade in her hand, which was imbued with a faint spiritual power.
She pursed her lips, reflecting on her behavior:
She should have been more careful.
Apart from her and Charlotte, all the humans on Carol are evil.
At this moment, she increasingly missed the time when she lived with all kinds of insects.
A simple insect that will cling to her as long as there is food, and will never harm her.
This time, a gentle breeze, carrying the essence of Gu magic and an almost imperceptible longing, flowed out from the dimly lit cave.
Outside the cave.
The other insects hurried back to the vicinity of the mine.
Before they could even stand still, they felt a gentle breeze that soothed their hearts.
This time, the source of the wind was so obvious.
There it is!!!
All the insects stared intently at the direction of the cave, their bodies trembling with excitement.
They've found the origin of the wind!
