My sampan can be upgraded

Ling Qi picked up two fallen trophies. One of the light clusters was a propeller that was 45% damaged, and the other was some special glass materials. They were thrown into the shipboard space and the damaged propeller was repaired. If you sell it back, you can earn nearly 10,000 credits.

On Grizzly's speedboat, six more standard energy pistols and more than ten magazines were found, and now his weapons became quite sufficient.

This place was no longer suitable for rest, so Ling Qi had no choice but to leave in the Tomahawk and continue exploring. As for the murder scene here, he didn't do much to deal with it. Anyway, the conflict between the two parties was open to the public. As long as he returned safely this time but the grizzly bear disappeared, it goes without saying that the Fire Adventure Group would definitely find him.

"Let's keep it to lure the monsters. It's best to hurry up and drive a third-level yacht!" Ling Qi was looking forward to it.

The Tomahawk now only needs a third-level anti-gravity energy matrix to meet the basic conditions for upgrade. By then, it will have a house and a car...

After exploring a few kilometers back along this main channel, and going deeper into the ground, Ling Qi estimated from the trajectory outlined by the radar that he should have left the island and reached the bottom of the sea. The oxygen here has become extremely thin, and the moss on the cave walls has almost disappeared, leaving it all gray-brown rock, soil and stone. This means there is no ventilation in the front.

The Tomahawk was not yet capable of being deprived of oxygen, so Ling Qi decisively turned around and returned to the air circulation channel to continue exploring.

After another two hours passed, he found a crack and stopped on it to rest. He decided to look for another day tomorrow and retreat if there was still no harvest. This kind of exploration is like finding a needle in a haystack, the process is too boring.

The next morning, we explored several more forked roads, including two times where we found small holes in the ground following the wind direction. When he climbed out hopefully, he found only some unknown plants and was almost attacked by a big snake.

"Look again in the afternoon. If you don't get anything, it's time to go out. Communication is not working here. Maybe other teams have found it." Ling Qi took out several kinds of cooked food for lunch.

Shortly after lunch, Ling Qi discovered a hidden independent space.

Judging from the radar scanning imaging, it was a huge space with a radius of several hundred meters. Apart from a narrow crack connecting it to the passage here, there was no other entrance or exit.

The crack is more than thirty meters long but less than one meter wide. The radar signal propagates through the crack and can barely detect the space on the opposite side.

"When we upgrade in the future, we must not only equip it with a space radio radar, but also find a way to equip it with an advanced radar that can conduct tomography underground." Ling Qi thought to himself.

He told Catgirl to stay on the Tomahawk and walked through the rift alone.

"Is there a faint light ahead?"

The cracks were rough and some places required climbing. Ling Qi relied on his overall 2.1 physical fitness and spent a lot of effort to reach the end.

He was shocked by the dazzling sight before him.

This is a world of crystal! At your feet is a cave wall suspended in mid-air, at least fifty meters above the ground below. Clusters of crystals stand in the vast cave space, and they are colorful, some are fiery red, some are deep blue, some are yellow, pink, black, colorless...

Some crystals contain energy and are rich in radioactive elements. They emit soft light themselves, which are refracted by various crystals and illuminate the cave magnificently. Moreover, the temperature in the cave was very high. Ling Qi felt like he was in a furnace, his whole body burning.

"The captain was seriously injured by radiation and his vitality decreased..."

Ling Qi was startled and quickly retreated into the crack. The blood bar representing his vitality appeared before his eyes. In the few seconds it was illuminated by the light in the cave, it dropped by ten percent. And it is still declining slowly, and the blood loss will not stop until 82% is left.

Looking at the four-dimensional attributes, his physical fitness dropped from the original 2.1 to 1.8, and the other three values ​​also dropped to 1.9, which is equivalent to lowering him by one level.

"It's so scary!" Ling Qi felt a trace of fatigue on his body and quickly returned to the volcano passage through the crack. The anti-radar paint of the Tomahawk has radiation protection function. I will go down in a speedboat to explore it later.

Cat Girl was looking into the crack curiously. When she saw him coming back, she asked, "Is there a gourd over there, brother?"

"There is a ghost who kills people without blood!" Ling Qi briefly introduced the situation on the other side to her, told her to come down, waved his hand to put away the speedboat, and then helped her climb into the crack and reach the area where the radiation on the other side could not reach.

He came to the crack again and immediately released the speedboat in front of him. After entering the speedboat, she no longer felt the burning pain. Ling Qi then called Cat Girl over.

As soon as she entered the speedboat, Catgirl was completely absorbed by the beautiful scenery in the cave, her eyes were blurred and she was speechless.

Ling Qi drove the speedboat down slowly and wandered among the crystals, dizzying. He first made a wide circle and found that the closer to the center, the stronger the rays of light, and the brighter and dazzling the crystal clusters.

But he didn't dare to get too close to the center. The speedboat couldn't withstand the high temperature there, so it could only linger a few dozen meters outside. If he moved slightly closer to the center, the captain's system would prompt him that he had exceeded the physical protection value of the vehicle.

"Brother, that crystal can move." Cat Girl suddenly pointed outside and said.

"Huh?" Ling Qi turned her head, looking away from the exterior imaging projection and looking at the side she was pointing to. Through the cabin glass, he saw a red crystal lying next to a cluster of colorful crystals. It was about the thickness of an adult's thigh and more than one meter long.

"Moving again!" Catgirl yelled.

Ling Qi also saw it, and quickly adjusted the angle, using the high-definition imaging of the photoelectric camera to zoom in and observe.

"No, that's some kind of animal. It just has a crystal-like body." Ling Qi saw it arch its body like a caterpillar and move a small step away.

"It's eating crystals!" Catgirl covered her mouth in shock.

"To be precise, it chewed up the crystal and was eating some substance inside!" Ling Qi added.

The pointed end of this animal, tentatively called a "crystal worm", is the tail, and the thick side is the head. Except for the mouthparts, no eyes or other organs can be seen.

Ling Qi adjusted the angle of the speedboat again. From its open mouthparts, you could see several rings of teeth inside, like a circled saw.

He turned on the sound collector on the speedboat, which was actually a hidden microphone, and immediately heard clicking sounds from time to time. This shows that there are more than just "crystal worms" chewing crystals in the cave.

"Click"

The crystal insect opened its mouthparts again, gnawed a gap in the root of a crystal, picked out two pieces from the broken crystal blocks and swallowed them into its body.

Ling Qi saw that what it was swallowing was the radioactive material that continuously released energy in the crystal.

"It's amazing. There are actually animals that feed on radioactive materials. It's incredible!" Ling Qi was extremely shocked. He explored carefully and soon found a dozen of these crystal worms eating in the periphery.

Finally, he returned to the crystal worm he first discovered and wanted to continue observing, but found that it was lying motionless on the spot, as if it was resting and digesting. The strange thing is that when it is motionless, it is no different from other crystals.

"It's incredible. Is this a disguise, or is it actually a living crystal?" Thinking about its ferocious mouthparts, Ling Qi gave up the plan of getting close to it even though there was no blood strip on its head. Who knows if it will suddenly turn around.

But Ling Qi was unwilling to do anything. He returned to the crack, found a few boulders as big as a human head, and put them into the ship's space. Then he flew above the crystal worm again. With a thought, he dropped a piece and hit it on the crystal worm's head.

"Bang"

The boulder rolled away, and the crystal insect shook its head as if nothing had happened.

Ling Qi dropped another piece, this time hitting the middle part of its body. After the stone was rolled away, the crystal worm remained unharmed. However, after being hit twice in a row, it arched its body high, suddenly bounced, flew out with a bang, and fell heavily to the ground more than twenty meters away.

"Try to see if it eats meat?" Kitty Girl suggested enthusiastically.

This is a good suggestion!

Ling Qi moved a piece of barbecue from the captain's space to the ship's space, came to another crystal worm that was eating, and threw the barbecue to its mouth.

The crystal bug went its own way, continuing to chew up the crystal and swallow a few pieces, and had no reaction at all to the barbecue.

At this time, the speedboat was a little stuffy, because there was no air circulation in this space, and there was too little oxygen coming in through the cracks. They could only rely on the air in the speedboat cabin for support, and they began to lack oxygen.

"You have to keep oxygen bottles in the future. No matter what, let's try to collect some crystals. You can't go back empty-handed!"

Ling Qi drove the speedboat to a cluster of colorful crystals that were more than two meters long. After touching it, he had a thought in his mind and wanted to put the crystals into the shipboard space.

"The vehicle is not equipped with grabbing facilities and cannot collect items..."

Ling Qi suddenly felt the alpaca galloping, but he didn't dare to reach out and collect it directly.

withdraw!

Tomahawk ascended. At this moment, under a cluster of crystals nearby, a crystal worm bounced up and landed on the front deck of the Tomahawk, motionless.

"Capturing the living body of rare biological crystal worms can be integrated into the main body of the vehicle to improve the vehicle's resistance to high temperatures and radiation..."

Ling Qi's eyes went straight, someone else came to her door unsolicited?

He immediately issued the fusion command, and saw the crystal worms on the front deck melting like ice and snow. Without any struggle, they turned into the tiniest material units and immersed in the deck, and then spread throughout the hull, causing some strange reaction with the hull material.

At the same time, the captain's system prompts that because his vehicle is fused with special materials, its high temperature resistance is increased by 10% and its radiation resistance is increased by 10%.

"Ah, why did it melt? Is the temperature of the food too high?" Kitty Girl asked in surprise with her imagination wide open.

"Haha, Xiaorou is so smart!"

They quickly returned to the fissure and crawled through it back into the volcano tunnel.

Next, Ling Qi asked Cat Girl to stay in the crack and did not let her follow her in. He could stay for a longer time by himself with the full cabin air.

The system prompts that the resistance is increased by 10%. He has no idea of ​​the specific effect, and the system does not provide digitized information. Since fusing a bug increases it by 10%, and I don't know if the resistance will be reduced when upgrading to an air yacht in the future, so Ling Qi hopes to fuse a few more.
