Chapter 179 Danger in the Mine: An Unexpected Turn



The group cautiously went deeper into the mine, with the faint sound of dripping water and strange noises coming from afar echoing in their ears.

Mou Xuan's steps were firm and steady, the saber in his hand gleaming faintly, like a cold star in the night.

Chen Yao followed closely, the pistol in her hand ready to shoot at any time, her eyes scanning the darkness vigilantly.

Mechanic Guo silently gripped the wrench, with a hint of determination in his eyes.

The high-energy expert held his "thermos bottle" tightly and looked around from time to time, fearing that he would be caught by something if he was not careful.

"Be careful of your steps, there may be a trap here." Mou Xuan said in a low voice with a hint of warning in his voice.

The forest explorer swallowed and nodded, but there was a hint of uneasiness in his eyes.

Suddenly, a huge black shadow jumped out from the darkness and appeared in front of everyone almost instantly.

It was a huge mutant creature, covered in thick scales, its eyes glowing green, and it let out a low roar.

Everyone panicked immediately. Mou Xuan reacted quickly and shouted, "Disperse!"

Chen Yao and Mechanic Guo quickly distanced themselves from each other, but the high-energy expert was stunned and almost dropped the "thermos bottle" in his hand.

Explorer Lin reacted the fastest and dodged the creature's attack by turning sideways, but his clothes were torn, revealing a bloody mark.

"What kind of creature is this?!" Explorer Lin asked loudly, with obvious fear in his voice.

"I... I've seen this creature. It's a mutated geological dragon. Its weak point is its neck!" The high-energy expert shouted loudly, trying to direct everyone to attack.

However, when the group attacked according to his instructions, the situation became worse.

Not only did the geological dragon not fall down, but it became even more violent, roaring angrily, and the scales on its body seemed to become even harder.

"You idiot! You don't even know the weakness of this thing!" Explorer Lin couldn't help but curse.

The high-energy expert's face turned extremely ugly, and he stepped back in panic, almost falling to the ground.

"Calm down, everyone listen to my orders!" Mou Xuan's voice sounded particularly calm in the chaos.

He quickly analyzed the situation and found that conventional attack methods would not work at all.

At this moment, Explorer Lin made a move that no one expected.

He did not continue to attack according to the instructions of the high-energy expert, but suddenly rushed to the narrow passage next to him and shouted loudly: "Attract its attention, I have a way!"

Everyone was stunned, and the high-energy expert was so angry that he jumped up and down: "You lunatic, you are going to die!"

However, the forest explorer did not stop.

He rushed into the narrow passage without hesitation, and the geological dragon was attracted and turned around to chase him.

The passage was narrow and the huge body of the Geodragon could not move flexibly, so its speed slowed down significantly.

"Hurry, follow me!" Mou Xuan immediately understood Explorer Lin's intention and quickly led Mechanic Guo to approach the geological dragon from the side.

The wrench in Mechanic Guo's hand flashed coldly in the dark. He aimed precisely at the joint of the geological dragon and struck hard.

The geological dragon roared in pain and its body shook, but it did not fall down.

Mou Xuan gripped the saber tightly, his eyes revealing a hint of determination.

He quickly stepped forward and slashed at the geodragon's neck, finally finding its real weakness.

The Geodragon let out a final desperate roar, its body slowly fell down, and finally stopped moving.

Explorer Lin rushed out of the passage with many scratches on his body, but he was obviously out of danger.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Chen Yao immediately rushed over and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"

Explorer Lin smiled and dusted himself off: "I almost lost my life, but fortunately, I escaped unharmed."

Mechanic Guo said calmly: "Old Lin, your trick is indeed useful."

Mou Xuan nodded and said appreciatively, "Well done, Explorer Lin. This time it's all thanks to you."

However, just as everyone was about to move on, Mou Xuan suddenly stopped and looked around with a serious expression.

He turned around suddenly and said to everyone: "Everyone be careful, we may not be out of all danger yet."

Before he finished speaking, he quickly rushed in one direction, and everyone followed closely behind him, but they couldn't help feeling a little uneasy in their hearts.

[Event occurred]

The mountain-like body of the geological dragon collapsed with a loud bang, stirring up a cloud of dust, which looked like the slow-motion special effects after the monster was defeated in the movie.

Before anyone had time to celebrate, they heard a crisp "crunch" sound, as if someone was crushing potato chips, but the sound was obviously more frightening.

"Not good!" Mechanic Guo rushed to the energy extraction equipment that was older than his grandfather, his brows twisted into knots, "This machine... was damaged by our passion just now!"

"What? It's broken?" Explorer Lin's eyes widened in disbelief. "No way, this thing is too delicate. We were just trying to save the world!"

The high-energy expert also came over, pushed his gold-rimmed glasses, and began to "look, smell, ask, and feel" with a serious face.

He knocked and hammered for a while, then lay on the ground listening to the sounds, just like an old Chinese doctor taking the pulse of a patient.

"This...what should we do?" Chen Yao stamped her feet anxiously, her voice almost crying, "Without this machine, how can we extract new energy?"

Mou Xuan also frowned. It was really like a rainy day with a leaking roof. The ship was late and encountered headwinds.

He forced himself to calm down, his mind racing, trying to find a solution.

"Ahem..." The high-energy expert finally finished his "diagnosis", stood up, and cleared his throat. "The 'heart' of this machine - the core energy converter is broken and needs to be replaced."
