Chapter 229 Stone Mine Star
"I don't want it either, Bian Qin, you are taking human life lightly!"
"Bian Qin, I'm going to sue you. Let's see how you face the outside world!"
"Bian Qin, if we don't show up for a long time, it will definitely arouse suspicion from the outside world."
…
"Don't worry, I will regularly update the outside world about your recent situation. It's better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. I believe that the outside world will only praise it and will not accuse me of neglecting my relatives."
“You…you…”
"You are so shameless!"
“You’re so cruel!”
"You—" The woman was about to curse when she heard Bian Qin say slowly, "I don't want anything to happen to your child. If your beautiful dream is interrupted, just be quiet.
"From now on, when you go on missions, you should talk less and do more, understand? The place where your children are staying is full of orphans. If anything happens, I'm afraid there will be no one to ask for help."
"..." The women immediately calmed down. It wasn't all for the future, some of them were genuinely concerned about their children.
The defeated always like to make harsh remarks before leaving, "I don't think you dare!"
"Let's wait and see."
“…”
He instantly became as obedient as possible and followed Meng Qin obediently.
"Hey, hey, look, what is that?" Chu Xu's eyes widened, his face pressed tightly against the protective shield of the spacecraft, his facial features were squeezed and deformed, and the breath exhaled from his nose just happened to leave ugly marks on it.
The weather in early spring is still relatively cold, but it should be better after entering the Stone Mine Star, where the temperature is higher.
Everyone looked outside in the direction Chu Xu was looking, and saw that the built spaceship parking platform was covered with densely packed mineral-eating beasts, which made people's scalps tingle.
The stone mining beast was the size of a palm, with gray fur. Its big eyes, as big as copper bells, stared at the spaceship motionlessly, as if it would pounce on it as soon as the spaceship landed.
The Stone Mine Planet is quite far away from the Water Planet. This small spaceship was rented by them from the Mercenary Guild, and Tengchong is responsible for driving it.
Only then did everyone realize that Tengchong was the only one among them who had passed the spacecraft driving license test, and he was truly a treasure boy.
Tengchong stopped the spacecraft in the air and asked, "Do you want to land?"
"Drop! These mineral-eating beasts don't eat spaceships." Xie Yu looked at the spaceships on other parking platforms and found that the mineral-eating beasts just liked to surround the spaceships and did not attack them.
Tengchong heard this and drove his spaceship to an empty parking spot, slowly lowering it. The ore-eating beasts, upon seeing the spaceship, immediately retreated to the edge, leaving the middle space vacant.
These big eyes are not in vain. The empty space is exactly the size of the spacecraft, as if it has been measured. It is even more accurate than a measuring instrument.
If it weren't too cruel, everyone would want to gouge out its eyes for research.
When Xie Yu, Yun Xiang and the others got off the spaceship, the stone beasts stood in two rows, very neatly, and their pairs of green eyes never left them.
Although everyone pretended to be calm, their chaotic steps still revealed their current mood. Holy shit! This is so creepy!
Everyone searches for the mine along the previously planned route, with the mineral-eating beasts following closely behind them. They move when you move, and stop when you stop, just waiting for you to dig out the minerals so that they can grab the food.
Everyone lost their temper after being followed around, and since they wouldn't attack, they just let them be. On the Mineral Planet, no one wanted to provoke these mineral-eating beasts, because they were a single species and they were all assumed to be relatives. If you mess with one, they'll all come.
Yun Xiang is sometimes particularly curious about how mineral-eating beasts reproduce.
The air on the Mineral Planet is particularly bad, due to the numerous mines and the high number of people working there. Dust and ore powder are everywhere. During strong winds, the entire planet turns black and gray, and the dust is rampant, making mining impossible.
The military rarely ventured here, but it was home to small and medium-sized mercenary groups. Because mining the ore was difficult, the large mercenary groups looked down on it, which made it easier for them.
Yun thought that this was the perfect place for their D-rank mercenary group. During this time, whenever they had free time, they would complete quests on nearby planets, finally breaking away from the lowest rank.
"Ouch, my foot!" Tengchong accidentally kicked a stone and hurriedly hugged his foot in pain. "Damn, why are there so many stones?"
"Most of the mountains here are rocky. Although there are some jungles, they are all light forests, and the ground is mostly rocky."
"If you need stones one day, come here and pick them up. I guarantee we have everything you need."
"Who needs these things unless they are building a house?"
"That's true."
"Yun Xiang, what are you doing?" Lin Ziyu saw Yun Xiang staring at a nearly two-meter-tall tree. "This tree looks very vigorous, but it's a pity that it has no fruit." Lin Ziyu looked regretful.
Yun Xiang had a vague plan in her mind, but she would have to wait until she had free time to decide how to implement it. However, that didn't stop her from preparing first.
"This is a pear tree. Let's dig some. It should be useful in the future."
"What's the use?" Lin Ziyu started slapping her. Yun Xiang didn't even have time to remind her and simply stepped back. It's better to slap one person than two.
“Cough cough...ok...cough cough...choke…” Lin Ziyu coughed violently, “Pooh pooh…” It took her a while to recover.
She wiped the tears she coughed up, "What the hell is this? It looks pretty clean."
"Are there clean things on the Mineral Planet?" Yun Xiang pointed to the corner of his clothes and patted it lightly. It was all mineral powder, a gray mess.
Lin Ziyu bared her teeth and slapped the edge of her clothes, leaving a large, gleaming palm print. "Wow, when was this made?"
"The air is full of dust, but you can't notice it if you don't pay attention. You should wear masks."
Yun Xiang put on his hat and mask when he got off the spaceship, but was teased by the group. This must be his retribution. Haha!
No one dared to show off anymore and quickly armed themselves. Tengchong subconsciously touched his hair when he put on his hat. Damn, it was all dusty.
"It's already dirty, I won't bring it anymore!"
"No, it'll be all muddy by the time we get back to the spaceship tonight." Mining is hard work, Zeng Li kindly reminded him. He was too honest and his words were unpleasant to the ear.
Tengchong paused and put it on obediently.
Yun Xiang wanted to find the tree, and everyone decided to stay. The first day was mostly spent exploring the trails, so it didn't matter if they didn't find anything. This made the mineral-eating beasts very anxious.
The mineral-eating beast saw everyone wandering around the jungle, found the pear tree, and took out a shovel to dig. He immediately scratched his head and thought, "Damn... What are these bad guys doing?"
There are no mines underground!
Squeak, hurry to the mine! The mine is right ahead!
If you can’t find the way, we will help you find the way!
Stupid, go! What's so fun about a big tree?
Damn it...
As more people come into contact with them, the mineral-eating beasts become more powerful.
Yun wanted to take out her shovel, step on it, and try to dig down, but she couldn't get any deeper. She had no choice but to shovel away the surrounding grass and clear away the exposed stones one by one.
Then he dug down, but before he could dig in, he found rocks again, making it very difficult to dig. He put down the shovel and took out a pickaxe from the space. It was a bit heavy, and after a few tries, it didn't work. The roots were all broken off. After hesitating for a moment, he switched back to the shovel.
"Squeak, idiot!" The mineral-eating beast on the side was so angry that it jumped up and down.
