CHAPTER 996: CHAPTER 415: DIRECT CONFRONTATION (5-IN-1)

Little Grey immediately flapped its wings and flew towards the planet.

Su Ming controlled the Shadow Lord to follow behind Little Grey.

One after the other, they drilled into a large hole and entered a passage.

Su Ming turned on the spotlight to carefully observe the inside of the passage.

These passages were drilled out by large excavation machinery, with widths that can reach up to hundreds of meters, and are completely winding in direction.

The remnants of minerals exposed on the passage walls are the most common iron ores, holding no significant value.

Su Ming continued to follow Little Grey flying inward, along the way passing through some Black Dust.

Time passed bit by bit.

Little Grey led Su Ming wandering inside the planet for half a day, finding nothing.

It couldn’t help but stop, looked around bewildered, scratched its head with its little paw, its Cartisan eyes filled with confusion.

Seeing Little Grey like this, Su Ming also felt it was very strange.

How on earth did this Amis Prince hide, to make Little Grey hit a wall time and again.

"Alas!"

Su Ming sighed, then controlled the mecha to fly over, opened the cockpit, and let Little Grey in.

Little Grey flew in, bowed its head in grievance, looking doubtful of life.

Ever since coming to this place to search, it repeatedly hit walls!

Clearly feeling there was something here, but just couldn’t find it.

"It’s okay, let’s go see if anyone else has found something."

Su Ming reached out to pat its head to comfort it, then turned around, controlled the mecha and left.

Soon after, Su Ming flew to the exterior of the planet.

Rhein and the others gathered around, shouting.

"Boss, did you find anything on your end?"

"No, how about you guys?"

Su Ming calmly asked everyone.

"No, we spread out so much that we’ve practically turned this small planet upside down. But found nothing, maybe we’re searching in the wrong place?"

Zhang Yi replied with a sigh.

"Boss, how about asking Queen Hai Lan if it’s really this planet?"

Rhein hesitated to ask.

Upon hearing this, Su Ming sent a communication request to the Wind Moving.

Quickly, the communication was connected, and Timi respectfully spoke.

"Officer Su Ming."

"Timi, is Lady Hai Lan beside you? Let her come by, I have something to ask her."

Su Ming said to Timi.

"Okay!"

Timi promptly stepped aside.

Soon, Lady Hai Lan appeared before Su Ming, her expression tense as she asked.

"Mr. Su Ming, is the search going poorly?"

"Yes, Lady Hai Lan, are you sure the planet with Red Rock is the hiding place? Could it be a cover? The real hiding place isn’t on this planet?"

Su Ming asked tactfully.

"Impossible, my husband wouldn’t lie to me."

Lady Hai Lan said with certainty.

Ankaga, hearing this, interjected.

"Boss, if that’s the case, why don’t we just blow this planet up, surely we can find it then."

"Makes sense!"

...

Rhein and the others echoed.

"No, who knows what’s hidden inside, what if there are piles of High-level Energy Crystals and fragile items?"

Su Ming directly vetoed Rhein and the others’ proposal.

"Then what now? We’ve turned over this planet several times, found no treasure, not even a Ghost Shadow."

Rhein and the others asked anxiously.

Su Ming was also troubled; under normal circumstances, he could take his time, but he’s most short of time now.

Who knows when the Mechanical Clan might return.

Little Grey watched Su Ming in distress, also feeling downcast as it looked towards the starry sky outside.

At this moment, bits of Black Dust floated past the front of the mecha.

Ding!

Little Grey’s eyes suddenly lit up, as if recalling something, it excitedly flew over, continuously tapping the cockpit wall with its little paw, calling out to Su Ming.

"Squeak squeak!"

Seeing Little Grey’s unusual behavior, Su Ming immediately reacted and opened the cockpit.

Little Grey flew out excitedly and flew towards the small planet.

"Follow along!"

Su Ming controlled the mecha to follow.

Rhein and others were also delighted, quickly controlling their mechas to catch up.

Little Grey led Su Ming and the others into a large cavity and flew along the passage.

Soon they arrived deep within the passage.

At this point, Little Grey stopped.

Su Ming and others stopped along with it, turning their heads to look around but saw nothing unusual.

"There’s nothing here!"

Rhein and the others said bewildered.

"Squeak squeak!"

Little Grey made special calls toward mounds of Black Dust on the passage floor.

Looking at the Black Dust that resembled a sea of sand, Su Ming immediately responded and said.

"Wait, could the treasure be hidden beneath the Black Dust?"

Rhein and the others were stunned upon hearing Su Ming’s words, then exclaimed in shock.

"Damn, could it be?"

"If it’s really underneath, how do we handle it?"

"How about, I go down to scout."

...

"No, too risky. Shouldn’t there be mechanical equipment for extraction on the Wind Moving?"

Su Ming’s expression shifted as he asked.

"There is."

Rhein replied confidently.

"Go, bring it over, and invite Lady Hai Lan here as well."

Su Ming ordered Rhein and others.

"Yes!"

Rhein immediately took people and flew out.

Not long after, a large extraction mechanical device, rectangular with large-caliber ducts extending on both sides, was transported over.

Rhein and others swiftly installed it, then activated the equipment to start extracting the grey sand outside.

At this moment, Lady Hai Lan’s nervous voice sounded on the communication channel from Ankaga’s icon.

"Mr. Su Ming, have you found it?"

"Not sure yet, but there’s hope; however, we need to wait until the grey dust is extracted to know the result."
