The light pillar, that is, the space bridge, actually blurs the distance between the surroundings and the Third Eye. Relying on this light pillar, you can directly cross the space and instantly reach the Third Eye.
But at the same time, any space is subject to interference from imaginary defenses, so the specific landing location cannot be guaranteed. Fortunately, Tianmuyi's gravity was weak, and with the assistance of equipment such as jetpacks, Lu Ning and others landed without encountering any danger.
This is a hill made of gravel, standing alone in a wilderness of gravel. The mottled cracks on the ground are like a network and seem to spread to the end of the horizon. The lifeless scenery is always a bit uninspiring.
However, in the interstellar age, people have had some exposure to such scenery. People who often conduct interstellar exploration are even more accustomed to such scenery. After all, living planets like Huanxing are the real "alien" in the universe.
"No life signal can be scanned. It seems that the team that came before has also gone into hiding." Bayonet Hui reported.
"It's normal. Even if we all come here, people are not of the same mind. I have already told you, right? Not only must we beware of Outpost No. 1, but those 'own people' must also pay special attention."
"Captain, two satellites were found in the sky. They were not deliberately concealed, but according to their patterns, they should be offensive." Blue Bird also reported.
"Calculate their route and try to stay away from the attack angle. Although those biomechanical soldiers are commanding, they don't feel tired and there is no need to consider their feelings." Lu Ning waved his hand.
Even though she accepted Mo Ningyan's gift, she didn't consider how to achieve anything with two teams of four hundred troops. One is that she is not in the direction of conducting war command. Even if she has the original memory of Lu Ning, she may not be able to achieve any benefits on the battlefield where every second counts. The second, of course, is that she doesn't believe that Mo Ningyan didn't leave any backdoor for these soldiers. She can check the weapons and equipment at any time. It will not be easy to deal with these soldiers if they rebel on the battlefield.
"Underground... a hole was found, but the details are still unclear." Spades' investigation report also came back.
"Then let's go down as soon as possible." After hearing this, Lu Ning raised his hand to gather a material distortion ball, and opened a hole according to the position marked by the spades.
"Aren't you going to cover it up?" Spider Silk asked.
"No need, everyone knows that people are coming to Tianmu 1 all the time. Even if Outpost No. 1 wants to attack in advance, they have to establish the entire Tianmu 1 observation network. But now the response speed is either too weak or not at all. Ability to observe.”
Lu Ning waved his hand, and the team members jumped down the pothole one after another.
The wilderness formed by gravel is the upper layer of the earth's surface. A little deeper, you can still see the thick sedimentary rock layers. Soon everyone slipped into the underground pit detected by Spades. This is actually a cave, and the water vapor component is very heavy. This is also because the atmosphere is already thin when you reach the third eye, and even now the content has exceeded 50%.
It is no longer particularly rare to find water. What is rare is that the water here can still maintain liquid and gaseous states. On a planet without an atmosphere to insulate, the temperature difference between day and night is extremely severe. The gaseous water on the sunny side will quickly escape, while the shady side will be absolutely frozen in ice. The temperature conditions of Tianmuyi are completely satisfactory.
Yes, after walking a few hundred meters along the cave, everyone saw a small stream. Although it is called a creek, the water flow is actually only as thick as two wrists, but it is already a wonder here.
"How deep is this place from the surface?" Mo Lianren asked.
A team member behind him immediately replied: "We have descended to a depth of about sixty meters. This can only be considered a shallow layer, and the distance from the surface is no more than seventy meters at most."
"It's nighttime on this side." Lu Ning said, taking a look at the temperature reading, "Indeed... the temperature here is around four degrees Celsius, which is not normal. The previously recorded surface temperature was close to minus ninety degrees, so it was so short. Distance, temperature difference changes so much..."
Bayonet has lowered a probe into the stream, which is used to look for microorganisms and large particles. When living water is found, it is inevitable to do this kind of exploration, and the results are obvious.
"The water contains a small amount of microorganisms, which can probably assume the role of natural decomposers. In addition, many large particles of iron compounds and nitrates were found." Bayonet said quickly, and then measured the surrounding rocks. As a result, the rocks are all normal calcium and siliceous, and there are no metal minerals nearby.
"Is there a mineral vein nearby? Or... is there a production factory nearby?" Lu Ning didn't believe that she was so lucky to find traces of Outpost No. 1. In other words, she didn't believe that Outpost No. 1 would leave such a person behind. Easily discovered flaws.
"It may be that the team that came before also set up a stronghold underground." Mo Lianren said, "We can't go there easily."
"Simple, Qiu Shu, where is the drone?"
For this trip, Lu Ning released the production line for Qiu Shu. Drone support for land operations is far more reliable than Mo Ningyan's biomechanical force. This also caused Qiu Shu to have all the drone equipment slots on his body except for one gun, and others had to share some of the load for him.
"Captain, I suggest we be more direct here." Qiu Shu said with a smile, "In such an underground environment, if we use drones to conduct reconnaissance and are shot down, we will be held accountable. It is better to just pretend not to know."
Lu Ning thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay, don't worry about what is over there. Dig the ground wider. At worst, we can dig a stronghold for ourselves."
Four round-headed drones rose from Qiu Shu and approached the rock wall in front. Red rays shot out from the movable muzzle at the lower end, quickly cutting off conical stones on the rock formations. This is an excavation drone that was used in mining at a certain period in history. However, it was banned after many accidents that cut miners into pieces. However, the military used it in some war situations.
Although dangerous, it is very efficient. The drone dug more than 20 meters into the cave ahead in five minutes, and even destroyed a stone wall that blocked the stream. The water flow has now increased a lot. The bayonet measured it again and found that the proportion of iron compounds inside had increased. .
Everyone is swimming upstream, which means they are getting closer to the source. As they continued to dig forward, more feedback appeared on the detector. Just as there was a click from the front, flames suddenly appeared in the gaps in the rocks.
A huge red spot suddenly appeared in everyone's energy detection. It was a warning of ultra-high-energy creatures.
"No! Behind this is-"
Before Lu Ning could finish her words, the flames broke through the already fragile rock formations. Qiu Shu quickly retracted the flame drone, and someone immediately opened fire from behind. Four freezing grenades exploded on the wall, and the rocks exploded again. Cracks appeared, but they were instantly frozen by the cold fog and water vapor.
"Trap." Mo Lianren raised his hand calmly, "Everyone retreated. The energy response was very sudden. It may be a phantom beast that has adapted to our detection method. The grade is tentatively B."
"I can't hold it anymore!" The bayonet loaded the second grenade. She kept paying attention to the state of the rock wall. The ice showed signs of melting in just a few seconds, and the heat penetrated into this side of the rock again. , the cold can't stop it.
"At least we know why it's so warm here, right?" Spades added a grenade and froze the rock formation again, "B-class is not that easy to break through the attack of environmentally modified weapons!"
"You want to say this is an A-level fantasy beast? Then how can it avoid detection? The energy on their body is like a light in the dark!" Kong Gu shouted, "Unless it has undergone corresponding evolution! However, A The genes of super fantasy beasts are the most stable and difficult to change..."
"They may have evolved." Lu Ning retreated while paying attention to the surrounding situation. "Outpost No. 1 knows about us. It can even be said that they already had this preparation when they moved to Tianmu Yi."
"They have the ability to cultivate A-level fantasy beasts?" Spider Silk cried out.
"As long as there is time and targeted guidance... Of course, this is just a guess. But I don't know Pang Xu. I only know that he is a genius. Geniuses can easily do some appalling things." Lu Ning raised his hand, and the material was distorted. The bullet charging is completed, "for example, using a large number of A-level fantasy beasts and illusions to set up natural traps."
The inconspicuous sphere floated towards the wall, and the moment it came into contact with the ice, it was involved in the ice. Naturally, the phantom beast behind would not let go of such an opportunity, and immediately crashed into the gap in the wall, and also hit the twisted... Pop on.
The flame was also instantly involved in the twisting vortex, but this phantom beast was obviously different from those creatures that were easily strangled. The distortion effect of the twisting bullet on the material only cut off one of its limbs, and counting this One, it has twelve limbs.
This is very much like a burning spider, except that its body is not like a spider, but irregular stone-shaped, with three mouthparts and three tentacles protruding from the front end of the body. It has no eyes, but it is clear He knew the direction of Lu Ning and others.
The good news is that the energy feedback has not yet jumped to the area of the A-level phantom beast, but the bad news is that another fire appears behind this phantom beast.
"I never heard that spiders live in groups!" Spade screamed.
"That's because you are ignorant! And this is not a spider!" Spider Silk yelled angrily, "Captain! The B-level phantom beast expeling medicine is no longer effective. We should retreat temporarily! We still have to block their actions. It can be done.”
"Mercy?" Lu Ning hit a liquid ball on the ground in front of him and turned to ask Mo Lianren. Mo Lianren also looked cautious: "We shouldn't spend too much here, let the soldiers do it."
Lu Ning nodded, and the two opened their personal panels and issued orders.
It only takes a few minutes for the mechanical soldiers to rush here from the surface to support, but at this moment, Blue Bird suddenly shouted: "Captain! Reaction from the ground monitor! There is a long-distance attack approaching, you must have noticed it. The energy here is alive!”
"Then let's go further away."
Lu Ning watched as the fire spider stepped into the ground and fell directly into the softened rock hole. It would take some time to climb up. The people behind quickly blocked the one behind with grenades, and then moved forward quickly. retreat.
There were soldiers on the road to respond, but the unknown attack from afar was still blasted directly into the ground. Everyone felt the ground shake. When they climbed up from the twisted entrance, they found a large pit with neat edges in the gravel wilderness.

"Shot."
In a distant desert, the giant gun barrel protruding toward the sky slowly shrank. In a building on the side below the gun barrel, Chen Han looked at the data in front of him and reported to Zhao Xihuahui.
“How effective was the Tunguska cannon?”
"Uh...nothing to say." Chen Han saw the shooting results and the satellite pictures of the scene, "It's just that this is too sensitive, and it's a little bit to use it against my enemies..."
"You are the one who insisted on asking me to do this for you. You are killing people for fear of insufficient firepower. Unless he doesn't come to Tianmuyi, the Tunguska cannon can be aimed at any position on the planet." Zhao Xihua took a piece of information with some boredom. "To be honest, this thing is just a little fight between the two of you. The weapons brought by the technological tourists are the real monsters. I doubt whether Tianmu Yi will still be there after this war is over. "
"Uh...what?"
"Excluding those who plan to use scene information to cause trouble, my opponents must have prepared dark universe-level weapons. The Lost Paradise in the hands of AL-007 and DU-014 is not hidden. HJ-013, like us, is not through ink. Those who came to this planet using Ningyan must have found weapon relics on the way. The Rangers themselves are also a dark universe-level civilization." Zhao Xihua quickly flipped through the information in his hand, "Understand? We are now in a state of mutual nuclear deterrence. , Outpost 1 probably really has mastered the A-level fantasy beast, otherwise we would have no place to do our final hunting mission. In addition, Mo Ningyan must also have such a regular army in her hands. Some kind of back-up weapon, the kind that can knock over a table."
"Then can we win?"
"Let's see if Qingyu can send me what I need in time." Zhao Xihua put down the information, "We came here in a bit of a hurry, and it was precisely because of my lack of preparation that I had time to get the Tunguska cannon for you, but This is the greatest help I can provide. If you ask me, you'd better not participate in the fight between gods later."
Chen Han's face turned a little blue. He knew that what Zhao Xihua said was true. Among the third-level tourists, he did belong to the category of neither above nor below, and he had no ability to intervene in a war of this level.
"Captain Zhao, I know how capable I am, that's why I'm asking you for help... Thank you very much, I will make this cannon work to its maximum effect."
"I don't need you to express your determination. After all, you have kept your promise and provided me with a lot of help...Infrastructure, contact, and exploration, these all require manpower. It is your ability to recognize your own abilities and maximize their effectiveness, otherwise you will not Maybe at the third level." Zhao Xihua waved his hand, "I wish you success."
Chen Han nodded vigorously, then stood up and left the room.
