Chapter 98

Gongsun Murong and Nalasha held up the defensive shield, feeling a lingering fear.

The rocks in this moved-over place were too tightly packed, so tightly that they were no longer ordinary rocks but had turned into jade-like stones.

They almost didn't bounce off; if they had been fused into their bodies, it would have been disastrous. Fortunately, the Fuxi Technique instinctively activated, stabilizing the space in the instant after the movement and pushing the stones away.

Normally, in loose soil, they would first move over, then use other methods to clear the surroundings while the spatial fluctuations were still present, and only then would they truly appear, with the spatial fluctuations stabilizing.

If something wasn't cleared, it would overlap after the spatial fluctuations stabilized.

Overlapping didn't necessarily mean death; it depended on where the overlap occurred. If it was in the brain, it would be fatal, but for them, even if it was in the heart, it wouldn't matter.

Just now, they were about to overlap, though not in the brain. No one would want something extra in their body, let alone have to remove it.

Now that the two of them had squeezed in, they didn't need to worry about other issues and could clear out a larger space.

The method of clearing was still squeezing. The surroundings weren't all like jade; there were tiny gaps between the soil, which they made more compact using earth-based techniques.

In a few minutes, they had squeezed out a large hall. In the center of this hall formed by the cave, there were two objects with special patterns, which they had seen before.

When they were at the bottom of the Soul Swinging Lake and were teleported to the bottom of Lake Virginia in the Mitchell Empire, it was through these objects.

But the two objects with special patterns in front of them, one was intact, and the other was damaged.

The pattern on the damaged one was destroyed, and there were some animal bones on it.

"Didn't we say it couldn't be destroyed? We tried it before." Nalasha looked at the two teleportation objects, thinking that one was for coming and the other for going back. If one was damaged, they couldn't go back.

"What kind of animal is this? Collect all the bones and put them together when we return." Gongsun Murong was now uncertain.

At that time, he and Nalasha didn't use more powerful weapons, so the metallurgical bomb didn't destroy it.

But he also knew that everything in the world has its counter, and perhaps there was something specifically designed to counter the teleportation channel.

The two of them searched around, collected the bones, and then tried the other intact teleportation channel.

Sure enough, it didn't work, no reaction.

This indicated that this channel was different from the one they had encountered before, which could teleport both ways.

The two of them used spatial movement to return, bringing the contestants back to the spaceship.

"Brother Murong, Sister Nalasha, did you find it?" Wan'er's voice came.

Gongsun Murong shook his head and put the bones in a separate cabin: "Wan'er, help us put the pieces together and fill in the gaps. Let's see what it is."

"Sure, Brother Murong, I'll do it right away." Wan'er's cheerful voice rang out, and a 3D image of a creature appeared on the screen, rotating to show every part of its body.

No one had seen it before, but they could guess it was a two-headed, two-tailed lizard.

"Let's call it a two-headed lizard. Where can we find it?" Nalasha wanted to find one to test if it was the one that damaged the teleportation channel.

The spaceship started again, rising to a certain height to scan a wide area below.

The audience outside was already cursing, blaming the creature for destroying the contestants' way back. If it hadn't been destroyed, the contestants could have returned home.

The only regret was that the spaceship couldn't bring it back, as the teleportation area was too small. But who could say for sure? At the time, a wave of fluctuations swept over a large area on the island, and while the adults were fine, all the children were sucked in.

Eleven hours later, the spaceship found a two-headed, two-tailed lizard-like creature.

They were in groups in the swamp, with a powerful beast nearby.

The contestants weren't afraid; no matter how powerful a beast, could it withstand the spaceship's energy cannon?

Before the contestants could provoke it, the intelligent beast ran away, moving its limbs frantically in the swamp.

The small lizards, however, looked up at the massive object above them with their two heads.

Wan'er volunteered to complete the capture mission. She had been getting along well with the contestants, singing with them, dancing on the screen, and even eating with them, appearing as a little girl in the same clothes as Nalasha.

She had also heard many stories.

She always wanted to do more for her family, and now she had the chance.

An energy net went down, capturing ten small lizards. The ship turned around and flew back to the large pit.

Gongsun Murong and Nalasha took one down to the damaged teleportation channel. The lizard, over a meter long, extended its long tongue and licked the pattern.

To their surprise, the pattern... actually melted.

Without a word, the two of them instantly moved back.

They handed the small lizard to Wan'er for analysis.

A few minutes later, Wan'er concluded that the substance on the lizard's tongue couldn't be identified.

The lizard's saliva contained a special substance that could decompose the material and was also capable of melting and decomposing many types of metal.

It was a good auxiliary material with broad applications.

How did the elephant die? Because its tusks were valuable; how did the tiger die? Because its skin was valuable; how were the two-headed, two-tailed lizards captured? They didn't understand it themselves.

Wan'er swept through the entire swamp, even taking their eggs.

Wan'er analyzed the lizards' diet and found that their saliva's properties were unrelated to their diet.

Part of the lizards' body tissue was quickly frozen and preserved.

Some were directly killed to extract the salivary glands, and some were kept in the spaceship.

Unless there were any that escaped, they didn't plan to leave any behind.

Gongsun Murong didn't want others to get the same thing.

For his selfish thoughts, the audience outside praised him, as they had been worried the contestants wouldn't think of this.

Good things should be kept in one's own hands, not left for others.

After the excitement, the audience began to worry again. With the teleportation channel destroyed, how would the contestants return?

Gongsun Murong and the other contestants were also thinking about it.

The only option left was to fly back, unless someone could repair the teleportation channel.

After a brief meeting, they all decided to fly.

Fly to wherever they could, better than staying here.

After checking that nothing was left behind and everything that should be taken was taken, the spaceship slowly ascended.

Wan'er didn't need to accelerate to escape the planet's gravity. Once they were out of the atmosphere, the contestants were looking forward to their first space jump when a shrill alarm sounded.

The contestants, now considered crew members, immediately took their positions, preparing for a spaceship battle.

After a while, the alarm was cleared.

Wan'er's voice came from various positions, reporting the discovery of an unknown, non-natural satellite orbiting the planet.

"Go and check it out." Gongsun Murong ordered.

The spaceship adjusted its direction and approached an object that looked like a meteorite. The object still had its edges, similar to a meteorite, but it emitted a continuous energy signal.

"Camouflage." Gongsun Murong said.

"Should we capture it? Several similar meteorites have been found in other positions on the planet." Wan'er's voice came again.

"Capture them, all of them." Gongsun Murong gave the order. Synchronous satellites were nothing to be surprised about.

They circled the planet for six hours, capturing a total of twenty-nine meteorites, which were actually hidden 'man-made' satellites.

They didn't think six hours was long.

But for the audience outside, it felt like six years. They lost the signal, and the screen went black, showing only the black image of the cliff.

Wan'er captured each satellite and threw it into a corner of a cabin with energy interference, a method her creator specifically designed to deal with unknown energies, which couldn't be cracked, so they were just interfered with.

After all the satellites were captured, Gongsun Murong had Wan'er bring them to the hall, where the contestants gathered to observe.

The audience cheered, as they thought they would never see the image again. Some had already lost hope and gone home.

Six hours later, the image returned, and the sound was still clear.

"Brother Murong, Sister Nalasha, the energy from these objects can penetrate my ship's hull and even record the folded space, then transmit it out. The technology in some aspects is even more advanced than the Laralorobians."

Wan'er, after testing and decomposing one satellite to obtain data, came to this conclusion.

The contestants began to discuss the satellite issue.

The audience outside now understood.

The commentator, Harun Harry, spoke up: "We always thought it was a mysterious thing that we could see the contestants' situation, but it turns out to be something orbiting the planet, similar to our recording equipment.

The difference is that it's better than our equipment. According to Gongsun Murong's analysis, the energy of these satellites is very special, capable of penetrating many things.

So, the satellites broadcast the contestants' situation on the cliff, and we transmit it over long distances. It's not a big deal.

Now, I hope Gongsun Murong and the others discover this and move the satellites to a place without interference so we can see them clearly. I don't want to stare at a cliff."

The audience agreed with the commentator, wondering if the contestants had the wisdom to do so.

"Find the direction of the energy signal and track it." Gongsun Murong left one satellite and threw the others back into the interference cabin.

"Understood. Tracking the signal's direction. Spaceship starting." Wan'er controlled the spaceship to head towards a position in space.
