“The guide said that he found traces of Star Sand in the lair of an unknown beast. At that time, he was in a state of confusion after being seriously injured. The beast itself is a huge reptilian monster that is good at digging holes,” As Chu Yan explained, he took out the map given by the guide and placed it side by side with the map he snatched from the mercenary team.
Lin Zhen frowned.
“Here was the place where he was seriously injured,” Chu Yan clicked on the red mark on the map, swiped his finger straight, and clicked on the blue mark a little far from the red mark. “He managed to escape using this route. It can be preliminarily judged that the Star Sand should be around this area.” Then he connected the two marks and drew a big circle.
Lin Zhen looked at the general terrain of this area, and said while thinking, “The Star Sand can only be formed in dry soil, so it should be quite far from a constant water source. The southwest area can be excluded.”
“And there must be a volcano near the Star Sand,” Chu Yan added, swiping up his finger to click the upper-right section on the circle. “Here, the guide said that this seemingly normal mountain was actually a volcano in the past. It is currently dormant, and this information is only known by select Planet D28 natives. He also learned about it by accident.”
“Then go to this area first,” Lin Zhen made a decision and asked him to put away the map.
While they were discussing, Qiao Zhiya had been wandering around the area that had been briefly checked. He picked up some stones, plants, and other things that interest him. He put them all away in his storage ring, which made the team members standing by watching couldn’t help but laugh.
‘Why do you look like a child? Picking up a lot of messy things…’
The little snake nestled in Qiao Zhiya’s pocket poked its head out lazily, watching Qiao Zhiya’s behavior of picking up things. Its tail wagging around, looking very happy. If it could talk, it would say: “Hey, these are all good things. Pick up, pick up more!”
Everyone set off again, and Qiao Zhiya was finally assigned a task this time – to be the detection radar. Unlike the spiritual power that might disturb the strange beasts in the forest, magic power, as a part of nature, was gentle and undetectable. It was the best detection tool available.
“The number of beasts in Area D isn’t many, but all of them are powerful. Using the mecha’s radar can backfire, plus it consumes a lot of fuel, so I can only ask you,” Lin Zhen said, handing over a space button full of jade. “Don’t force it, if you’re too tired, we still can use the mecha’s radar.”
Qiao Zhiya nodded, took the space button, and saw that it was full of wood-elemental magic stones. He guessed that it was specially prepared by Chu Rong. His ears twitched happily as he walked in front, revealing his magic power.
AD
After being promoted to a high level, his magic power reserve increased. The area covered by the magic power was also wider, making it very convenient to explore the environment.
Using his guidance, everyone bypassed the main activity area of the alien beasts, walked along the border where the two alien beasts intersected, and arrived at the foot of the volcano in just one afternoon.
“It’s getting dark, we should rest now.”
Lin Zhen ordered, so everyone moved again, found a small space surrounded by huge rocks, and pitched camp inside.
As night fell, the little black snake slipped out of Qiao Zhiya’s blanket. It bit through a corner of the tent, and sneaked out. Qiao Zhiya had spent too much magic power in the afternoon and slept soundly without realizing it.
In the early hours of the morning, Qiao Zhiya was woken up by Chu Yan. Just as he was about to speak, Chu Yan covered his mouth and signaled him that there was something outside.
He was stunned for a moment, carefully stretched out his magic power and went out. Sure enough, he sensed that there seemed to be another group of people moving towards their campsite. Probably because it was dark, the other party didn’t notice them hiding in this area.
“Pack up the tent first and go out.”
AD
Chu Yan whispered, relying on the primary sound insulation function of the tent. Qiao Zhiya nodded to express his understanding. He lowered his head and put on his coat, reaching out to the place where the little black snake was sleeping.
It was empty.
“What’s wrong?” Chu Yan pulled him by the sleeves, motioning him to hurry up.
Qiao Zhiya looked around again, and noticed a hole in the corner of the tent. With a frown, he suppressed his worries, followed Chu Yan out, and put the tent away.
The others had all gathered together. Lin Zhen waited for Qiao Zhiya to come out and motioned for them to come quickly. He then opened a small protective shield to cover everyone, and said after cutting off the sound, “The group outside are the ones who caused trouble in the afternoon. That group, they seem to have just gone through a fierce battle. They looked quite rugged.”
“Are you sure it’s the same group?” Chu Yan immediately raised his eyebrows, and his eyes showed a fierce look.
Lin Zhen nodded. “Sure, the mechas they were driving were exactly the same as the ones scanned in the afternoon. I found that the tents they took out also had a red mark on them, which was the same as that on the clothes of the mercenaries who attacked us earlier. “
In other words, since they entered the adventure zone, it has always been the same group of people who kept harassing them.
“What kind of luck is this!” Chu Yan was so stunned that he wanted to go out and beat up all those people. He wanted them to taste their own medicine.
Lin Zhen glanced at him, and added. “I also found out that they’re looking for the Star Sand.”
AD
He asked, “Are you sure? The guide clearly promised that it would not be…” He trailed off, as he finally understood that the guide must have duped him on some level. His face darkened as he sulked.
Qiao Zhiya gave him a worried look, then reached out and patted his shoulder.
“When they camped just now, I eavesdropped on them. I did hear the words “Star Sand”. Their route is highly overlapped with ours, so this should be the case,” Lin Zhen explained as he tapped on the eavesdropping device.
The device made a “bzzt” sound, and it prompted Lin Zhen to make a silencing gesture. He also amplified the sounds from the device.
From the small device, a slightly rough voice came out, swearing, “Damn, I said that the information given by the guide is not reliable! Where the hell is that ten-level material! We’ve been walking around in the damn woods for a week now, and we haven’t seen a thing! The supply team sent here doesn’t know what’s going on, and they haven’t arrived yet. What a bunch of trash!”
“Enough , shut up! If you don’t want to continue looking, get out now, don’t start a fire here!” Another lower voice sounded, they sounded very impatient. “There is news from the third team, it seems that a foreign ore-hunting team has entered Area D. If you are as reckless as in the afternoon, you leave this team and search it alone! Stop harming us!”
“Didn’t I lure that strange beast to the passing mercenary team in the end…” The rough voice became weaker. They then made a guess, “Do you think that team we met earlier is actually a vanguard of a rich mining corporation or something? Their mechas aren’t special at first glance; but with that evasion speed, they are definitely high-end modified products. If we robbed them at that time—”
“The fuck are you talking about?! Don’t cause trouble for me!” The deep voice reprimanded him again. “For now, keep a low profile. I heard that a group of rich and powerful students from the Capital Planet came here to practice. Martial law has been fully enforced, and if there is any movement, we will all be in trouble! As for that ore-hunting team, we can’t afford to provoke them, especially seeing the techs of their mechas! We must avoid them as much as we can.”
Then the two continued their discussion to less important topics. After a while, their voices weakened, so they should be ready to rest.
Lin Zhen put away the device with a serious expression on his face.
“The guide actually lied to me!” Chu Yan gritted his teeth, feeling the dangers of society.
“We have to find a chance to leave before dawn. It’s too easy to be discovered here.” Lin Zhen looked around the protective circle surrounded by stones and felt a little misguided. This was indeed a good place to camp, but they are surrounded, it is difficult to get out.
Qiao Zhiya’s face was tense, and he was also very worried; not only because of everyone’s current situation, but also because of the missing little black snake. Area D was full of powerful beasts – it was too dangerous for a powerless baby snake to run around.
Just when they were worrying about finding a way to get out, a sudden roar snapped them all out from their discussion. Then a strong light shone down from above, illuminating the entire area – including their campsite.
Lin Zhen was startled, and hurriedly adjusted the protective cover to adapt to the environment. His team also immediately jumped into position, protecting Chu Yan and Qiao Zhiya as their top priority.
AD
The mercenary team that had just rested outside immediately became agitated and looked up warily.
“Fuck, a small modified ship! Isn’t this too arrogant?” Chu Yan looked at the small ship. He had a rather dramatic guess, “Could it be that the enemy of the mercenary team came to seek revenge? A dog biting dog situation?”
Lin Zhen watched silently. He felt a little headache incoming.
Chu Yan’s guess was actually a little too optimistic. One group of hostile mercenaries was more than enough, and now there’s another unknown group coming from somewhere. No matter who the other party is, their situation will only get worse. Most likely, they have been found by this group.
The ship stopped more than ten meters above the head of the mercenary team, and then a lazy voice came out from the ship’s loudspeaker. “We need to use this place, and I will give you five minutes to leave. Run now and you can preserve your life.”
The members of the mercenary team looked at each other in surprise. They estimated the strength of this unknown party, and immediately ran away in record speed.
Chu Yan was dumbfounded, and said in surprise, “Who is this? Why can they just intimidate that group until they become so obedient? What is the origin of the ship crew?”
“They’re prospectors1,” Lin Zhen had already seen the logo on the ship, and he knew of it. He became more relaxed, wondering, “They are members of the Yun family. How could they appear on this D-class planet?”
Chu Yan, who knew little about this ore-hunter, immediately became curious. “The Yun family? Which Yun family? Are they particularly powerful prospectors?”
“They have been in this business for a long time. Also, they have cooperated with the Chu family before,” Lin Zhen explained. He stood up, and went out with a small flare in hand. He ordered them, “They’ve spotted us, retreat.”
Chu Yan was startled, and before he could say anything, he was led by other team members to the shadow of a big boulder nearby.
The ship over there had already landed, and the lazy voice sounded again, saying, “Five minutes are coming soon! Why don’t you leave?”
As they spoke, a plethora of guns and other lethal weapons came out from the ship. They aimed directly at the boulder, their intentions were crystal-clear.
Sure enough, they have been discovered, and their way of “greeting” was too cruel.
Qiao Zhiya tightened his hands. He began to think about the possibility of letting Qiuqiu enlarge, wrap them together with the boulder, and then “roll” away.
“Don’t move, don’t worry, it will be fine, “Lin Zhen comforted the two juniors. He then opened the protective cover directly, went out alone, and released the signal flare that he took out.
A black ammunition rose silently. It exploded into a special, easily-recognizable pattern. It flickered faintly under the light. light.
“Huh? “
A voice came from the ship again, and then the weapons were put away one after another. This time, the lazy voice sounded apologetic. “It turned out to be Marshal Chu’s group. I’m sorry for being rude. Please continue to rest. For this offense, the Yun family will apologize to Marshal Chu in person.”
Chu Yan, who thought he was going to have a fierce battle, was dumbfounded again. He blurted out, “Erge is that powerful??”
Little stars lit up in Qiao Zhiya’s eyes.
Lin Zhen retreated back to the protective cover, glanced silently at the two “innocent” children. He shook his head, took out the tent and said, “Let’s rest, they won’t bother us anymore. No one else will come over, it’s completely safe here. “
This situation made them confused!
Chu Yan and Qiao Zhiya looked at each other. Tacitly, they peeked from a gap in the boulder.
This was unbelievable. They saw a group of people suddenly appear in the brightly lit forest. As the front gate of the ship opened, a group of people went in, quickly turned off the lights and left.
“That’s… Ning Kongran?” Chu Yan was completely dumbfounded.
Qiao Zhiya was also a little dazed, carefully recalling a certain figure among the group of people just now, and nodded. “It seems to be him.”
Now, they both have the same question echoing in their heads–
How could Ning Kongran have anything to do with this ore-hunter?
1a person who searches for mineral deposits, especially by drilling and excavation.
“The guide said that he found traces of Star Sand in the lair of an unknown beast. At that time, he was in a state of confusion after being seriously injured.

It is currently dormant, and this information is only known by select Planet D28 natives. He also learned about it by accident.”
“Then go to this area first,” Lin Zhen made a decision and asked him to put away the map.
