Chapter 1089: There’s a Chicken Under the Money Tree? (6)
★Branch Mission 2: Repair the Golden River on the Road to Destruction of Wealth
The military generals team clears the area and escorts!
"All generals, listen up!" Qin General Meng Tian shouted at the riverbed, "Although there is no water in this riverbed, it is more dangerous than a rapids! Wang Ben, Li Xin! Lead your troops (summon soldiers) to clean up the riverbed surface from the 'space-devouring sandworms' (a low-level monster that can survive on the edge of space cracks and feed on lost energy) that may be attracted by the scent of beeswax! Zhang Han! Lead the elite battalion to guard the Mohist assembly platform and the nanny robot, and guard against attacks from the air or the cliffs on both sides! General Bai Qi..." He looked at the murderous God of Death.
Qin General Bai Qi snorted coldly, "I'll be stationed in the center. If there's any movement, I'll strike with thunder!"
He stood with his sword in his arms, looking as majestic as a mountain. The invisible murderous aura formed a barrier that prevented the sandworms that were poking their heads around the edge of the crack from getting close.
……
Qin general Wang Ben’s brilliant idea: paving the road with an ice bridge!
Just as everyone was preparing to move, Qin General Wang Ben (General of the Water God) gazed at the solidified golden sand riverbed and the deep cracks. He suddenly said, "The riverbed is as hard as iron, making it difficult to climb, and the edges of the cracks are slippery and dangerous. If we could build a temporary ice path across it, it would not only provide a stable footing and reduce the risk of falling, but the cold air might also further inhibit the activity of the cracks."
"Great idea! It's like 'helping someone in need'!" Ming Emperor Zhu Gaochi (the Hongxi Emperor who successfully lost weight) patted his belly and praised. "General Wang's plan is a great example of 'adapting to local conditions'!"
Qin General Wang Ben didn't waste any words. He walked to the edge of the fault zone, formed seals with his hands, and a cold aura emanated from his body: "[Xuanming True Water: Condensed Ice into a Bridge]!"
He pressed his hands lightly, and a stream of extremely cold water emitting a faint blue light poured down like a waterfall. It did not directly hit the riverbed, but as if it had life, it quickly spread and took shape on the hard surface of the solidified golden sand!
Click!Click!
The crystal clear ice layer, emitting a chilling cold, spread across the riverbed at a speed visible to the naked eye!
The ice was not smooth, but condensed into a shape with anti-slip grooves and slightly raised guardrails on the edges. It was like a winding ice plank road flashing with blue light, accurately avoiding the area where Xuantian's power was the weakest, and extending to the three beeswax enrichment points marked by Fang and Du!
Wherever the ice bridge passed, the activity of the space-time cracks below decreased visibly, and even a thin layer of white frost condensed on the surface.
……
Nanny Group·Tango-style collection!
"Sisters! It's our turn to make a 'shining debut'!" Tong Shishan's (nanny robot) electronic eyes flashed with excitement (simulation), and the [Weak Presence Field] blessed by Yanshi was activated. The outline of the entire body instantly became blurred, as if it had merged into the distorted light around it.
"Target locked: the edge of the Eye of the Abyss! Let's go!" Tong Jiaqi and Tong Jiawu responded in unison.
The three of them, like three vague and elegant ghosts, stepped onto the ice bridge laid by Wang Ben.
Their movements are no longer like those of ordinary housekeeping services, but are like those of the most skilled ballet dancers, with the precision and power of tango!
"[Precision Micro-Manipulation Amplification] activated! [Space Affinity Coating] sensing normal!"
Tong Shishan's voice sounded on the communication channel.
Their arms transform, and several slender arms emerge, each equipped with precision drills, suction claws, and energy cutting blades. These arms are called "Thousand-Modular Hands·Gathering Special Type."
Arriving at the "Eye of the Abyss" - the edge of a huge vortex-shaped crack at the deepest part of the fault zone and the most unstable space.
Even with Xuantian's suppression and Wang Ben's ice bridge's coldness, the terrifying suction still made the ice bridge groan "creaking", and the distorted light tried to pull them like a ghost hand.
"Ripples in space! Move three inches to the left and seven points down! Drill power at 35%, cutting angle 15 degrees to the west!" In front of the sand table at the rear, Tang Chen Du Ruhui's instructions came as precise as a scalpel.
Tong Shishan's body was like catkins in the wind, swaying gently along the invisible ripples of space, narrowly avoiding a suddenly intensified suction beam.
At the same time, her three "Thousand Machine Hands" were like poisonous snakes coming out of their holes, with a high-frequency hum, accurately piercing into a slightly raised gelatinous sediment layer at the edge of the crack that looked like a solidified rainbow - [Flowing Beeswax]!
Zhi——!
The drill bit rotates, the energy blade cuts, and the suction claws firmly grasp the peeled beeswax block.
The entire process was lightning-fast, seamless! As soon as the beeswax block was removed, the space there twisted violently, as if enraged.
But Tong Shiyu had already moved like a frightened butterfly, her toes tapping on the guardrail of the ice bridge, and she activated the [Sweeping Leaves and Stepping on Clouds] technique (a skill shared by Ah Cai), lightly retreating several feet and avoiding the obstacle perfectly!
"Collection successful! Eye of the Abyss, point one, 3 units of flowing beeswax!" Tong Shishan's report was filled with a hint of excitement after the "thrill".
On the other side, Tong Jiaqi was on the back of the "Hanging Golden Platform", climbing the wall like a gecko, with his body pressed against the cold cliff (also made of solidified golden sand). His thousand-handed hands flexibly shuttled through the narrow gap, accurately picking out the beeswax embedded deep in the rock cracks.
Tong Jiawu was dancing on the edge of a knife under the relatively flat but cracked "Eagle's Beak Rock", with each step placed on the most stable point of the ice bridge. His Thousand Machine Hands transformed into a phantom, quickly collecting the exposed and scattered beeswax fragments.
Their collection movements brought "fast, accurate and stable" to the extreme, and combined with the precise command of Fang Duyang in the rear and the double suppression of Xuantian and Wang Ben, they formed a thrilling and highly spectacular "space ballet"!
……
Ah Cai’s “Raising Grass to Catch Rabbits”: [Collecting Skill] is fully activated!
Watching the three nanny robots collecting beeswax like dancing on the blade, Acai was not idle either.
"'Catching rabbits while sifting through grass—a side job!' Even though the core of this riverbed is dry, there might still be some 'slippery fish' hidden in the solidified golden sands!"
She stood on the relatively safe high river bank, and her small hands reached out to the empty space on the wide riverbed below!
"[Gathering Technique: Heavenly Flower Scattering]! Start now!"
hum!
An invisible, huge suction force spread out with Acai as the center, covering a large area of the riverbed.
Unlike the precise positioning of the nanny robot, she "casts a wide net to catch more fish"!
I saw tiny specks of faint light being forcibly sucked out from the solidified, dead golden sands on the riverbed!
Some were dull, broken spirit stones the size of rice grains; some were extremely low-quality red gold sand the size of a fingernail; there were even some unknown metal slags...
Although the quality is poor and the quantity is far less precious than the beeswax collected by the nanny robot, it is wide in range and large in quantity!
Like a swarm of golden fireflies, they were attracted by Ah Cai's [Collecting Technique], forming tiny streams of light that flew continuously into her system backpack.
"Mosquito legs are meat too!"
Ah Cai smiled so hard that her teeth showed. "Little by little, it adds up to a lot. 'Sand piles make a tower!' I'll melt them down when I get home and give them to the gold ingots as a snack!"
