Chapter 209 Special Minerals - Lanlu Stone
"Master, I don't know where this little fox came from. Now that its injuries have healed, it's time to let it go." Yun Han looked at the little fox unhappily.
This little fox is very smart and doesn't look like a strange beast at all. Instead, it looks more like a person wearing a strange beast's skin.
Moreover, the little fox was extremely powerful. Yun Han felt that even if a fight really broke out, he might not be its opponent.
"嘤咛" The little fox seemed to understand Yun Han's words. It suddenly buried its head in Ning Xuan's arms and pulled her clothes tightly, as if it was afraid of being thrown away.
"It's just a spiritual animal. The master saved its life, so it must be grateful to the master, so it helped us a lot." Nine-Tailed Fox interrupted.
Seeing Yun Han looking at him with a bad expression, Jiuwei lowered his head and took two steps back in fear.
Although Yun Han was nominally a contracted slave, his personal strength and identity background were there, and Ning Xuan also favored him somewhat, so no one dared to treat him as a slave.
"Do you think it's strange that we haven't encountered any desert beasts after walking such a long distance?" Ning Xuan asked, dragging the little fox lying on her with one hand.
"Maybe there are just few exotic beasts in the desert." Chen Nan guessed.
"It's also possible that it sensed the strange beast in advance and killed it." Yun Han looked at the little fox and said.
Everyone else's attention also shifted to the little fox. Thinking about it this way, it seemed to be true. Since the little fox came to their team, the probability of them encountering strange beasts has been greatly reduced.
On the contrary, the little fox would drag back one or two exotic beasts every once in a while, but this time, it dragged back so many at once.
Ning Xuan waved her hand and put the prey into the ring space.
"Without strange beasts blocking the way, our journey has been accelerated a lot. Let's go. The energy ahead is getting stronger and stronger. Let's go and take a look." Ning Xuan ordered.
They explored the Red Sand Sea, on the one hand to draw a topographic map of the Red Sand Sea and complete the exclusive mission of the S-level team, and on the other hand to find the Spiral Nebula. When they accepted the mission before, they had been prompted that there was a Spiral Nebula in the mission area.
As early as when the graduation examination was announced, the authorities announced that while the nova body was full of viruses, there were also virus derivatives that could improve human physique, mental strength, and genetic bloodline, the Spiral Nebula. This substance was a special energy body that was condensed together, and they certainly couldn't miss it.
Storms in the desert always come suddenly. Although Zhang Nan could sense the coming storm in advance and Ning Xuan and others made a series of preparations in advance, they were still in a mess due to the strong storm.
In the tent buried by sand and gravel, Lin Mo turned on the flashlight, took out a tent light from his backpack, and hung it in the middle of the tent.
Under the protection of Yun Han, Di Youlin and Lin Mo, Ning Xuan still had her mouth filled with sand before she hid in the tent. Everyone's hair became an explosive hairstyle again.
Everyone looked at each other's miserable state and felt helpless. When the storm broke out, the ground where they were suddenly collapsed. If Lin Mo hadn't used the protective barrier, who knows what would have happened?
About ten minutes later, Zhang Nan summoned the golden chinchilla to come out of the sand pile and check the situation. After waiting for 20 minutes, the golden chinchilla finally sent back a message to Zhang Nan.
Zhang Nan smiled bitterly, "Ms. Ning, we are buried under the sand dunes. According to the information fed back by the chinchilla, the height of the sand dunes is very high."
The keel of the tent made a teeth-grinding creaking sound, but fortunately their tent frame was made of very tough high-tech materials, so even though it looked shaky, it did not collapse.
When the chinchilla drilled out of the sand layer, the fine sand that fell fell on the top of the tent. Ning Xuan flicked off the sand on her hair and looked up to find that the top of the tent had been pressed into an arc.
"We've been buried here for a long time and will definitely be short of oxygen. We have to find a way to get out." The height of the tent was only two meters and seventy-eight. Yun Han put the backpack under his feet and checked the bracket on the top of the tent.
Di Youlin suddenly coughed because he had just choked on some sand.
Zhang Nan handed the kettle to Di Youlin and asked him to rinse his mouth.
"Zhang Nan, can you find the shortest route? Or can you calculate the specific altitude?" Ning Xuan asked.
"Hmm..." The little fox scratched Ning Xuan and pointed its claws at the ground.
"Are you saying there is an exit underground?" Ning Xuan asked it.
The little fox nodded quickly.
Zhang Nan also heard the conversation between Ning Xuan and the little fox. He seemed to be thinking about something and quickly took out the map he had drawn before for comparison. He found that there was a deep underground river in this area.
"There's fine sand upwards, and it will collapse if you dig. You won't be able to dig out. Why don't you try downwards?" Lin Mo suggested.
"Let's take a look at the soil quality below first? See if it's easy to dig?" Ning Xuan cut a hole in the middle of the bottom of the tent to check the soil quality.
The bottom is still a sandy structure. Compared with the fine sand covering it, the sand particles at the bottom are larger and more moist.
"Can a strong storm cause the ground to sink? Judging from the water content of the sand, the height we sank to at the beginning of the storm was probably not low." Ning Xuan sighed.
After Ning Xuan and others determined that it would be easier to gain space by digging underground, they waited for Zhang Nan's companion spirit, the golden rat, to return. After the golden rat came back, it went to explore the underground environment again. Zhang Nan sensed the information fed back by the golden rat and drew a map of the underground environment.
Relying on this map of the underground environment and the tools in the space magic weapon, more than a dozen people worked together and dug three or four meters deep in just 13 minutes. After hearing the sound of flowing water underground, the soil layer became extremely hard.
"What kind of rock is this? The color is so beautiful." Chen Nan asked in surprise.
"This is Lanlu Stone. The Federation also has this kind of stone, but the reserves are very small. This stone can be used to refine golden green sand, which has extremely strong conductivity for light energy. It is the main material for large starship light energy receiving panels and is very expensive." Yun Han looked at the Lanlu Stones emitting green light in great surprise.
I didn't expect to find such an expensive mineral here.
"Since it's so valuable, what are you waiting for? Dig it up." Ning Xuan said with a smile of surprise.
Even though these stones are worthless, they have to dig them up to find the underground river.
However, these stones are very valuable, so they are more motivated to dig. Piece by piece, the blue green stone is dug out and put into the space ring.
Ning Xuan and the others worked very hard. Half an hour had passed in the blink of an eye. They didn't feel tired at all and just wanted to dig some more.
