Shifting the perspective to a mountainous area, Prince Xingde is observing the situation outside.
The guards around him were fully armed, all equipped with top-tier technology from the Apocalypse Civilization.
The fleet commander cautioned, "Your Highness, please don't act rashly. Those creatures outside are even more ferocious than star beasts."
Prince Xingde rolled his eyes and said, "I'm not that stupid. I was just checking to see if the other party had left."
"However, these creatures called dinosaurs are really too abnormal. Only our top-of-the-line dark matter fission gun can break through their defenses. We need to gather our firepower to kill them."
The fleet commander hesitated, but Prince Xingde said directly, "Just say what you have to say. There's no need to hide it here."
Upon hearing His Highness speak, the fleet commander said, "Actually, we don't need to focus on these dinosaurs. Our goal is to find the treasure box."
"We can use all kinds of drones, aircraft and detectors to search for it. We just need to wait in the base."
"Even if all our drones, aircraft, and probes are destroyed, we can afford the loss."
"Anyway, there are so many raw materials nearby, we can build it on the spot."
"Use the mechanical legion to find something that is much faster and safer than ours."
Prince Xingde fell silent for a moment, while the fleet commander began to sweat profusely.
Ever since he read some books about political intrigue, he had assumed that he was the one who had embarrassed the prince.
After all, His Highness rarely has this kind of experience. If I say everything that needs to be said and His Highness has nothing to add, won't that lead to the Dragon Kingdom saying that his achievements are too great and threaten the master?
Just as the fleet commander was panicking, His Highness the Prince suddenly laughed and said, "You're really something else, I like you."
Seeing the prince smile, the fleet commander finally wiped the cold sweat from his brow.
Seeing this, Prince Xingde thought to himself, "What I'm looking at is several versions ahead of yours. Let's see if you dare to be so smug these days."
Then he said, "Commander, sometimes you should read more literary works, such as 'Jin Mei,' to cultivate your mind and body."
Prince Xingde had to step in and teach him a lesson; he had read too many books on political intrigue, which had changed his original personality.
He became increasingly cautious in his actions, fearing this and that, completely unlike the fleet commander he once was.
After reprimanding the fleet commander, Prince Xingde ordered, "Release all our unmanned mechs, aircraft, and probes."
Soon, operators released their detection equipment.
The dense array of detection equipment spread out in all directions like locusts.
However, they lost many probes after only flying a short distance.
For example, some unmanned aerial vehicles were treated as toys by pterosaur pups in the sky.
Some drones were even swatted and destroyed by the tails of herbivorous dinosaurs on the ground, who mistook them for mosquitoes.
Even though these aircraft are highly technologically advanced, the losses were still severe in this terrain and environment.
Suddenly, a large area of their screen went black, and Prince Xingde quickly asked, "What's going on?"
The soldier reported, "We encountered an abnormal magnetic field; all aircraft in that direction have been destroyed."
Prince Xingde's expression was solemn. He hadn't expected the surroundings to be so dangerous. Fortunately, he hadn't carelessly rushed out.
"Let's pull up the footage before it disappeared and see what kind of creature was so powerful!"
In the vanished scene, an Allosaurus appeared, surrounded by a unique magnetic field. All the aircraft that touched it were destroyed.
Prince Xingde swallowed hard. This kind of superpower was too much for them. Fortunately, the other party did not come in their direction.
At that moment, another soldier suddenly stood up and reported, "Your Highness, we have discovered a golden treasure box."
Prince Xingde was overjoyed and said, "Quickly, bring that golden treasure box back."
In a distant valley, a drone shot out a beam of light and began to suck the treasure box into its cabin.
Then they quickly headed back to the base!
Prince Xingde was already standing excitedly outside the door. Since arriving on Blue Star, he hadn't opened too many treasure boxes.
So every time he opened a treasure box, he would get very excited because it would enhance his strength.
A short while later, the aircraft returned with the treasure box.
Prince Xingde accepted the treasure box, then followed the procedure by rubbing his hands together, offering a silent prayer, and opening the box.
Inside was a crossbow made of wood.
The fleet commander was greatly disappointed to find that it was just a crossbow made of wood.
To the Blue Star people, such weapons were primitive, let alone to them.
Prince Xingde was startled, but he did not give up and instead checked the information.
[Zhuge Repeating Crossbow: A weapon from the mythical Three Kingdoms period, the first of its kind invented by Zhuge Liang, and imbued with boundless fortune!]
The Zhuge Repeating Crossbow can fire ten arrows at a time; both the crossbow and the arrows are made of special materials.
[It is inscribed with various formations, possessing extremely strong energy-breaking power, and it also carries the power of the Three Stars of Killing, Breaking, and Wolf, making it infinitely powerful. Once fired, it is unavoidable, and even a Celestial Realm expert would find it difficult to stop.]
Prince Xingde smiled as he held the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow, never expecting such an ancient weapon to be so powerful!
It seems that whatever comes out of the golden treasure box should not be underestimated.
The fleet commander swallowed hard, recalling the moment when the arrow of the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow was unintentionally pointed at him.
I felt a chill run down my spine, and my back was soaked with cold sweat.
That feeling of being locked on by an arrow is absolutely agonizing!
Prince Xingde wanted to try it out on the spot, so he took the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow and shot it at an Ankylosaurus.
In an instant, the scissor shot out faster than the speed of light, and before the Ankylosaurus could react, it was pierced through.
He didn't even realize he was being pierced; he was still eating grass with his head down.
Suddenly his body froze, a spurt of blood gushed out, and his entire body crashed to the ground, raising dust in the air.
The fleet commander was dumbfounded; he knew all too well how thick the armor of these ankylosaurs was.
Even the weapons they brought might not be able to penetrate the armor, but unexpectedly, this ancient weapon pierced through the armor instantly.
Wouldn't that mean their starships are like sitting ducks in front of these crossbows?
And the arrows that were shot could return automatically, which was terrifying.
"Commander, come and help me up quickly. Using this skill almost drained me dry," Prince Xingde said weakly.
The fleet commander quickly helped Prince Xingde back to the base, as carnivorous dinosaurs would soon be arriving.
