Realizing this, Georgia was shocked and hurriedly moved closer to Chu Rong to feel it carefully. His brows furrowed - it was actually coming from the white-haired monster. Could it be that the white-haired monster was infected by those crimson minerals?
"Don't walk around, follow me closely."
Seeing him approaching, Chu Rong tucked him behind him to protect him, then shone the flashlight around.
Everywhere they looked, there were tilted and broken furniture; they seemed to have landed in the middle of a room.
The influence of the mutated red tin ore gradually disappeared, the headache eased, Chu Rong felt much better, and began to consciously gather the chaotic mental power that was scattered outward.
After stabilizing his mental strength, he looked up at the hole opened by Georgia above his head, walked to the wall and touched the metal wall, thinking - it was all equipped with radiation isolation layer, which means that the red tin mine here already existed when this building was built. And judging from the wall structure and the furnishings in the room, this building should have cost a lot of money.
——An expensive building that appeared on an uninhabited and remote mineral planet and was deliberately built in the middle of a red tin mine in a radiation-stricken area?
There is a problem.
He frowned and walked around the room again, trying to find some clues about the building.
Georgia followed him like a little tail, probing with her magic again and again, very confused. Strange, how come the uncomfortable feeling suddenly disappeared, could it be that he was wrong, and the violent discomfort was actually the aftereffect of the red ore?
While he was thinking, he seemed to step on something hard. He lowered his head and moved his feet. With his excellent night vision, he immediately recognized that the item lying on the ground was a storage item commonly used here. In the past few days, he had paid close attention to the various items used daily by the white-haired monster and his group, and now he could roughly distinguish the types and appearances of the daily necessities here.
He bent down and picked up the storage item that was only the size of a palm and looked very much like a button. He tried to look inside but to no avail. He then noticed a broken string hanging from the bottom of the item. He remembered how the white-haired monster had removed the top-level earth magic stone from the storage item. His eyes lit up and he quickly bent down to search carefully on the ground.
A faint magical feedback came from the corner, and he was delighted. He hurried over to move a tilted sofa stool and took out a small golden petal-shaped pendant from underneath.
There really is one! It's a high-level gold magic stone! Although he can't absorb it, the gold magic stone is a must-have for dwarves to refine ores and make tools! It's also very useful!
"Space button?"
Chu Rong appeared behind him at some point, reached out to pick up the space button, turned it over and took a look.
Georgia came back to her senses from her surprise, looked up at him, hesitated for a moment, and still reluctantly handed the magic stone she had just picked up to him - the white-haired monster helped him improve his aptitude for magic practice, which was a great help to him. As a result, not only did he fail to help the other party get the crimson stone, but he also caused the other party to be trapped here. He was embarrassed to take the magic stone he had just picked up.
Chu Rong, who was trying to destroy the mark on the space button, glanced at the hand he stretched out, and noticed that he occasionally stole glances at the decorative pendant with reluctance. His heart skipped a beat, and he stretched out his hand to pinch his ear: "Country bumpkin, you only know how to like these flashy things. What you picked up is yours. After I finish looking at the things in this space button, I will return this to you."
Seeing that he did not take the Philosopher's Stone but pinched his ears instead, Georgia's breathing became gentler and a light of hope lit up in his eyes. He hurriedly and tentatively put the Philosopher's Stone into his pocket, moving very slowly, his eyes always paying attention to Chu Rong's expression, as if he was ready to offer the Philosopher's Stone as soon as the other party showed the expression he wanted.
Chu Rong was almost about to laugh at his stingy and tentative look. He pinched his ear again with a cold face, and simply turned sideways and stopped looking at him. He fixed his eyes on the space button in his hand. He first violently destroyed the fingerprint mark on it, and then endured the pain like a knife scraping his brain and the slight backlash when he used his mental power, and forcibly broke the mental mark on the space button.
Georgia, who was happily putting away the magic stone, suddenly pricked up her ears on alert. She looked at Chu Rong with a tense face, and her magic power quickly probed over - that strange feeling of discomfort appeared again.
Noticing his gaze, Chu Rong turned his head to look over and snorted coldly: "What a promising person! If I said I would return it to you, I will definitely return it to you. There's no need to be so pushy." After saying that, he withdrew his hand and checked the things in the space button.
…and that strange feeling of discomfort disappeared again.
Georgia looked Chu Rong up and down suspiciously, thought about it, and simply started searching the room again - the uncomfortable feeling suddenly appeared when the white-haired monster took the storage supplies and opened them, so he had to try again.
After erasing the owner's mark, the contents of the space button were clearly displayed.
Some clothes, some daily necessities and tools, a small box of cosmetics and jewelry...all very ordinary things. Putting them together, we can only roughly draw the useless conclusion that the previous owner of the space button was a girl, and a wealthy girl, who wore and used good things. There are no useful clues at all.
Chu Rong frowned, put down the space button, and was about to look somewhere else when a white little hand stretched out in front of him, with a slightly larger space button lying on it.
"Picked up another one?" He was surprised, picked up the space button, and casually warned: "Don't run around. Although I didn't detect the breath of other people here, it doesn't prove that this place is safe." After saying that, he thought that the other party didn't understand what he said at all, so he shut up unhappily.
Georgia had no idea of his psychological changes. She was only concerned about that strange feeling of discomfort. At this moment, she was staring at him and the space button in his hand. Magic power was swinging around her, ready to take off.
Chu Rong looked at him once, then looked at him again, took out a green fruit with a sullen face and stuffed it into his hand, then turned around.
As the fruity fragrance filled the air, Georgia, who was emitting magical power, immediately shifted her attention and was surprised to find that there was a strong wood magic element floating on the green fruit.
In the past, his magic power was very shallow. He had never felt the wood magic elements emitted by plants as directly as other dwarves and elves, and he could not use magic to distinguish whether plants were poisonous or edible. For this reason, his father took the trouble to find him a magic plant ball to fill this shortcoming.
Now that his magic pool was deeper and his magic storage was greater, and he was no longer affected by the discomfort of the ore, he suddenly gained the survival skills that the dwarves should have been born with, which was like opening the door to a new world.
...With the blessing of magic, the green fruit seems to become more fragrant.
He almost couldn't wait to put the fruit into his mouth and chew it comfortably.
When he finished eating the fruit and finally remembered the important matter, Chu Rong had already opened the second space button and was carefully looking through a stack of manuscript-like things he took out from it.
"!!!"
Greediness led to mistakes, and he felt ashamed of his own instability.
Chu Rong's expression became serious after he finished reading the manuscript. He picked up Georgia and strode out of the room. The place they were in was not a building, but a warship! It was an imperial warship!
Damn it! On the territory of the Federation, in the mineral planet of his Chu family, there is actually an imperial warship buried! This is a provocation! A provocation to the Federation and the Chu family!
Georgia looked at Chu Rong, whose aura suddenly became stronger, in surprise. She did not move, but her eyes darted around and she carefully spread out her magic power, trying to find other storage supplies.
“Don’t run around.”
After walking out of the room, Chu Rong put Georgia down, turned and went into the next room, and began to look for other manuscripts.
Georgia turned her head, quickly followed him, and turned to the closet in the room - there was a magic stone fluctuation here, which seemed to be of the wood type.
The white hand reached out again, revealing another space button with a jade pendant hanging on it. Chu Rong paused in searching the room, then stood up and looked at Georgia who was approaching.
Georgia looked back as if presenting a treasure.
The not-so-good mood strangely eased a little. Chu Rong picked up the space button, pulled off the dark green decorative pendant on it and put it in his hand. He patted his head and praised him, "Very good. I'll give you a reward when I get back."
Georgia twitched her ears and looked at him expectantly.
Chu Rong paused, took out another green fruit and gave it to him, then put away the space button and picked him up to go to the next room.
Georgia was confused. She looked at the magic stone and fruit in her hand, then at his slightly hurried steps, and frowned in distress. Why didn't he open it this time? Did he think the storage item was too broken and not worth opening? Also, could she not hold his collar? It was a bit uncomfortable for his neck.
Room after room, the two of them swept through all the space storage items within their sight like locusts. In the end, Chu Rong simply handed the task of finding the space button to Georgia, who seemed to be particularly good at searching for such items, and concentrated on looking for other valuable clues.
After searching this floor, the two went up the stairs and continued searching.
Chu Rong was very familiar with the basic structure of the warship. After discovering that there were no valuable clues in the accommodation floor, he took Georgia to the warship's main control room and the floor where the captain lived, while roughly simulating the internal structure of the warship in his mind.
This was a small warship that could accommodate about two hundred people at the same time. There were no corpses inside, proving that when the warship was buried, all the people inside had escaped.
All signs indicate that this is an abandoned warship that has been abandoned by its owner and is not intended to be recycled. Even if some important information was once stored inside, it has most likely been taken away by those who fled.
Soon, his guess was confirmed.
Chu Rong stood in the main control room, looking gloomily at the control console that had obviously been blown up by the self-destruct device, with a surge of anger in his heart - whenever he thought of the bugs from the Empire doing something on his Chu family's mining planet and then running away successfully, he wanted to mount his mecha and bomb all those despicable villains from the Empire!
Just when he was so upset that his mental strength was almost out of control, the fair little hand that he had seen countless times today stretched out in front of him again. On it lay a charred space button and a cracked fiery red decorative pendant.
His eyes focused, and his anger instantly faded. He reached out and picked up the decorative pendant - this badge mark...
Georgia was stunned. Why didn't the white-haired monster take the Fire Magic Stone instead of the storage supplies? Although the top-grade Fire Magic Stone was cracked, it didn't cause any problems. It was just right for lighting the magic furnace...
Chu Rong, who finally found some clues, felt better after meeting his reluctant gaze. He stretched out his hand to push aside his bangs and said almost gently, "I'll take this. I'll go back and give you a better one."
Georgia glanced at him and saw that he was really not going to return the Philosopher's Stone to her. She moved her ears and handed the space button over again - the Philosopher's Stone was taken away, so could she open the space button again? He was very concerned about the uncomfortable feeling.
The space button was charred black, and the items inside were likely destroyed, but the space button that fell in the main control room must have been left behind by a senior warship official, and there might be clues inside, so we can try to find someone to repair it.
Chu Rong also took the space button. The more he looked at Georgia, the more satisfied he was. He took out another green fruit and handed it to him in appreciation, patting him on the head: "You are very good." If it is confirmed to be harmless, he can consider absorbing it into the Chu family.
Georgia was disappointed again. The white-haired monster actually didn't intend to open the space button again. It seemed that she could only find another way to get rid of that uncomfortable feeling.
Afterwards, Chu Rong used the equipment that had not yet been destroyed in the warship to send positioning and distress information to his own warship in code, and then took Georgia out of the main control room and found a room where the furniture was not completely destroyed to rest temporarily.
About an hour later, digging sounds were heard from the outer layer of the warship. Chu Rong, who had his eyes closed to rest, immediately sat up, picked up Georgia, who had fallen asleep on the sofa, and walked towards the place where the sound came from.
In his dream, wood and earth magic gently floated around him, slowly nourishing his tired body. Just as he was feeling comfortable, a ball of white and black light suddenly appeared beside him, and then more and more of them appeared, baring their fangs and claws, looking very ominous.
The magic power that came into contact with the black spot in the light ball fed back a vaguely familiar feeling of discomfort. Georgia frowned and instinctively manipulated the powerful wood magic power to surround the black spot, dragging it over, devouring and purifying it bit by bit.
"ah!"
A familiar female scream came from the side, and her consciousness returned. Her magic power quickly returned, and the mysterious feeling in her dream disappeared. Georgia opened her eyes, was stunned for two seconds, then sat up and looked towards the place where the black spot appeared in her dream.
Next to the instrument where he had been lying, Zhuang Yu was looking at the data detected by the instrument in surprise and confusion, with an excited expression. Fan Xiangnan was standing aside with a worried look, holding a medicine in his hand.
Suddenly there was a dripping sound, the light on the instrument flashed, and then the lid of the cabin was lifted. The naked Chu Rong sat up from inside, took the medicine from Fan Xiangnan's hand, tilted his head back and drank it, then raised his hand to rub his forehead.
"Sir, how do you feel?" Fan Xiangnan handed over a bath towel and asked nervously.
"It feels... not bad." Chu Rong put down his hand, frowned and knocked on the instrument under him in confusion, looked at Zhuang Yu and asked, "Did you change the type of repair fluid? This repair chamber that has been unused for a long time actually has a little repair effect on my mental strength."
