Chapter 545: Chapter 401: Anomaly [Insect] and Treasure
People suddenly became excited, as either possibility meant a huge amount of wealth.
To be honest, the Human 18th Civilization is really a bit poor now.
With the boom of cannons, thousands of gold were spent, and a war consumed a lot of resources.
Treating the Mutated People also cost a considerable amount of Spirit Essence…
Moreover, population growth, climbing technology ladder, raising animals, and cultivating plants all require money.
Even Old Lu himself is terribly poor, calculating in his heart how he might be the first to find the ore and then stash it in his private vault.
...
However, with a cautious mindset, he did not allow everyone to dig around on the mountain recklessly, but instead directed everyone to activate the “Camouflage Engraving” on their bodies and led the team up the peak.
“Always be aware of your surroundings, to know that an unknown civilization exists here.”
“Let’s maintain a steady pace, climb slowly, don’t rush.”
“If there is danger, the Insect Soldiers will issue commands.”
The Sky Fortress kept following from the sky, far away.
This mountain… or rather, plateau has a maximum gradient of 10-degree angle, even vehicles could drive on top of it.
As for the composition of the mountain, it is very complex, somewhat similar to asphalt, and contains a lot of heavy metals and certain radioactive elements.
No wonder there are very few plants on such a huge mountain.
Various deep pits and caves are everywhere.
As the temperature drops and the atmospheric pressure decreases, a large area of ice and snow appears on top of the mountain, making the trail deep and shallow, truly hard to navigate.
“Mind-based radiation is even rarer… It’s really strange; it’s nearly approaching the rules of a purely physical world.” Lu Tiantian rubbed his temples as he looked at the instrument, “Using any kind of superpower here will be slightly weakened.”
“However, the disturbance of microscopic physical parameters will greatly decrease, possibly increasing the yield rate of industrial products like semiconductor chips by an order of magnitude.”
Lu Yuan frowned, activated the “Eternal Spark,” and found that the power of the Spark was indeed a bit weaker.
Of course, as shocking as it is, humans can’t transport a plateau, nor can they settle here long-term.
The development of semiconductor technology in Human 18th Civilization is struggling, all relying on the Universal Factory to replicate a few chips and use them sparingly.
So they kept walking and stopping, conducting inspections for over a month, until they finally arrived at the legendary Grand Canyon.
People were shocked to look in that distant direction; this was not a Grand Canyon, but… it was Hell! An abyss!
The cliffs of the canyon looked like they were cut open by a sword, smooth as mirrors, with the deepest part revealing the red magma.
Various lower peaks, strange caves, and steep cliffs were distributed in this abyss-like scene.
And the width of the canyon… it might be hundreds, even thousands of kilometers!
As for the depth, well, the initial data of 200,000 meters was probably not accurate, as it was too dark below, shrouded in clouds, and not very clear.
The machine measuring the “Hume Index” suddenly started “beeping”! The radiation level of the Mind-based radiation soared rapidly, reaching five times the normal value in the blink of an eye!
This data was shocking to the expert group; theoretically, only in Green Mountain could this value be reached, but Green Mountain was carefully built by humans using many materials!
And such a super canyon could also reach a value five times higher, truly deserving the description “exaggerated.”
“How many Extraordinary Creatures are there inside? It must be a breeding ground created by some top civilization. I finally understand why the radiation outside is so low; originally, it was all concentrated in this canyon.”
Major Lu Ying’s eyes lit up.
His “Treasure Hunting Eye” immediately sensed many treasures.
Thanks to the vigorously promoted “Enhancement Potion,” his eyes were greatly enhanced, allowing him to clearly see even more remote areas.
However, the next second, Lu Ying’s pores shrank, and cold sweat poured out, as he saw some vague figures dashing toward the humans.
“Bad news, danger! Enemy attack!!”
Almost all soldiers were incredibly vigilant at this moment, raising their swords.
Then, in the next instant, a large group of dark figures suddenly surged up from below the cliff!
With greedy compound eyes staring at humans, there were tens of thousands of them, flapping their wings, flying in the air with a “buzz.”
What kind of malice was this, truly hair-raising!
It felt like being in a cold cave, about to be devoured alive by the secreted acidic liquid.
“Protect the formation! Do not shoot rashly! Defend with cold weapons!” Lu Yuan reacted very quickly, shouting loudly.
These weird creatures, they seemed to be a group of—”Insects.”
Yes, with spotted shells, sharp barbs, and purple poisonous liquid, their identity was confirmed.
But this openly displayed malice was completely different from the Insect Race of humans.
The next second, tens of thousands of insects pounced on the frontline, and close combat ensued!
“Kill!”
What happened next was surprising; the red glow erupted by human warriors was like chopping vegetables, and more than a thousand insects were brutally killed in the front line. The sharp swords drew red lights, and the light of the Extraordinary Spark flew around like sword qi.
