Chapter 475: The Entire Army of Sand City is Annihilated
No one knew what the liquid sprayed by the beetle contained, and the blue flame burned for three minutes before it went out.
Seeing that the flames did not burn Xia Xiaoman and the others to death, the beetles flew over and surrounded the observation room.
Seeing the beetle flying over again, Xia Xiaoman realized that as long as they continued to stay in the observation room, the beetle would continue to spray liquid to burn them.
Although I know that the observation room is not afraid of high temperatures, who knows if it will be burned if it is repeatedly burned like this.
Xia Xiaoman asked Su Ran to go back to the cabin with her. Not long after returning to the cabin, the beetles surrounding the observation room saw that the creatures threatening them were gone, so they flew back to the cabin of the Sand City and hid in the dark to reproduce.
Seeing the miserable state of the Sand City Fleet, Xia Xiaoman and his companions became more careful and tried not to leave the cabin if possible. If they wanted to check the situation outside, they could go to the observation room.
…
After another peaceful day, Xia Xiaoman stood in the observation room and took out the map to compare the mountain on the left. After confirming that the mountain was exactly the same as the one marked on the map, he asked someone to drive the boat over and stop at the shore.
As soon as they approached, Xia Xiaoman and his team saw traces of human activity on the mountain. Following these traces, they soon found a pit with two half-dug ore pieces in the pit.
"It should be someone from Sand City who has been here." Li Yu'e sighed. They were still a step too late.
Xia Xiaoman pursed her lips and said, "Use the detector to detect it. If it is confirmed to be ore, dig up the stone and take it back."
Qin Shuyan, who was standing by, hesitated a little, "But Sand City..."
Xia Xiaoman interrupted her and said, "Shacheng found the ore before us, but that doesn't mean the mine is theirs. Whoever sends people to mine first will own the mine."
As long as they return faster and notify Yu Jie earlier to send people to mine, Shacheng will not be able to do anything to them.
After confirming that the stones in the pit were minerals, Xia Xiaoman had people dig the stones out and take them away, and then continued to sail to the remaining two locations.
People from Sand City have also been to the third mine.
Seeing that the people in Shacheng found the mine so easily, Xia Xiaoman suspected that they should have a more detailed map, and Yuan Bing might have concealed some key information. After returning, she reminded Yu Jie and re-examined Yuan Bing and others.
As they approached the fourth mine, Xia Xiaoman prayed that the fourth mine would not be discovered by the sand dust. This fourth mine was a copper mine, and they had not found a copper mine in Fucheng yet.
Just when they were about to find the fourth mine, the ship from Sand City reappeared in their sight.
"It's another ship from Sand City. Judging from their direction, have they found the fourth mine?" Sun Qing frowned as he looked at the ship coming from the opposite direction.
Just as Xia Xiaoman was about to take out the telescope to take a closer look, Maodan's ears moved, and then suddenly his fur stood up and he roared loudly.
Upon seeing this, Xia Xiaoman immediately picked up a telescope and looked towards the Shacheng ship. He discovered that everyone on the ship was very nervous and was hurriedly adjusting the sails. Under the water behind their ship, there was a huge black shadow following them closely.
Xia Xiaoman's face darkened instantly. "Sun Qing, go and inform the people in the cockpit to turn the boat around and run! There's a big creature under the water, twice as big as the sawfish!"
Upon hearing this, Sun Qing immediately jumped out of the observation room and ran to the cockpit, knocked the person who was driving the boat away with her butt, quickly turned the bow of the boat, and at the same time ordered others to adjust the direction of the sail.
The people from Sand City seemed to want to drag Xia Xiaoman and the others into the water and stop the big guy under the water. When Sun Qing turned the bow of the boat, he drove the boat directly over and wanted to overturn Xia Xiaoman and the others' boat.
Xie Yi discovered the movements of the Shacheng fleet and immediately opened fire to prevent Shacheng from approaching.
Hearing the roar of the shells, the big guy under the water became more excited and swam forward faster, and the Shacheng ship was hit violently twice.
When the monster hit the ship, its head emerged from the water, and Xia Xiaoman happened to see it. The monster's head looked a bit like a catfish, with two long whiskers, but its skin was covered with large scales.
Xia Xiaoman walked to Xie Yi and asked him to try to attack the big fish to see if he could kill it.
She did this not to save the people in Sand City, but because there was a mine ahead. If they didn't kill the fish, they wouldn't be able to drive the boat to the foot of the mine.
-------------
Xie Yi aimed at the big fish and fired. At this moment, the big fish suddenly dived into the water and hit the Shacheng boat with its tail. The Shacheng boat blocked the cannonball and the big fish was unharmed.
The big fish dodged the attack and slowly surfaced, staring at Xia Xiaoman and their ship with its huge eyes. Xia Xiaoman saw a hint of resentment in the huge fish eyes.
Xia Xiaoman said in a deep voice: "Don't fight, this monster is intelligent, and it rules the water. We can't beat it. Leave as soon as possible and don't let it catch up!"
"What about the last mine?" Xie Yi asked.
"Let's wait until the lake freezes over, or until the dungeon produces better tracking shells. Now there's no need for us to fight the monster for this copper mine." She came here to find the copper mine, not to die. If she went ahead knowing she couldn't win, she would only sacrifice herself in vain.
The big fish raised its tail and slapped the Shacheng ship hard. After capsizing the Shacheng ship, the big fish sank into the water and swallowed all the people who fell into the water.
After eating the people in Sand City, the big fish surfaced again, twisted its body, and swam towards Xia Xiaoman and their ship at an extremely fast speed.
Xie Yi saw with his own eyes how the big fish overturned the boat with one bite of its tail, and he was immediately glad that he did not stay there for too long, otherwise they would not be able to escape now.
The big fish swam very fast. Xia Xiaoman realized that the monster had not used its full strength when it was chasing the Sand City ship just now. It was just teasing the people of Sand City.
There was no point in competing with the big fish in speed. Xia Xiaoman asked Sun Qing to drive to a place with many hills. With the hills blocking the way, the big fish would not be able to catch up for a while.
As the boat entered the hills, the speed of the big fish behind it really slowed down. Just when everyone was about to breathe a sigh of relief, the big fish suddenly disappeared from the water.
Xia Xiaoman stood in the observation room, feeling a little uneasy. The next second, the ship shook violently, and Xia Xiaoman and Li Yu'e fell directly from the observation room.
Before Xia Xiaoman could get up from the ground, the ship began to shake violently again.
Li Yu'e yelled, "That monster is hitting us under the boat!"
Xia Xiaoman struggled to get up, "Put on protective shields, tie safety ropes, take the bombs and throw them into the water!"
The monster was so huge, and with so many of them throwing bombs under the water, she didn’t believe that they wouldn’t be able to hit it!
