On the vast and silent Desert, among the pyramid-like piles of ore, the Belger mine pit was no longer present.
In its place was a large lake constantly churned by the hot wind!
Bai slowly descended and finally stopped at the wide lakeshore. As it looked at the unexpectedly erged lake water, it beca perplexed.
Lin Yue searched around and eventually found the machine dogs under the shadow of a "pyramid." Unfortunately, he saw only two that could still move; the other eight were lying motionless on the ground. He touched them a few tis, but they still didn’t react, seemingly completely broken.
Of the two that could move, he found their control screens were also completely black with no response, and the batteries seed to be low, poised to end up like the others on the ground.
Lin Yue turned back to look at the lake where the mine pit was originally located, lost in thought.
It must have been that these machine dogs accidentally dug into a tumultuous underground water vein while mining, and being unable to escape in ti, were flushed out, consequently short-circuiting due to the water ingress, becoming immobile.
Being able to move here was certainly considered a miracle.
It seems next ti he opens a mine, it needs careful planning. He can’t just let them dig downward; otherwise, such incidents will occur again.
However, Lin Yue also entertained so new ideas.
Nobody can guarantee when they’ll encounter an underground water vein by digging. If one dawdles because of this, they’ll never progress.
Therefore, after this disaster subsides, Lin Yue felt he must invent a waterproof function for the machine dogs.
After putting them into Storage Space, Lin Yue suddenly heard the sound of sloshing water.
Looking over there, it was Bai diving into the lake, happily swimming about, seemingly quite enjoying itself.
No wonder, the lake water temperature would always feel cooler, and that’s especially true for the underground river water gushing out; it’s understandable.
Just when he was pondering whether to dive in too, Bai suddenly plunged down and a few seconds later burst out again!
Lin Yue suddenly discovered that there was a fish with a mouth full of sharp teeth in Bai’s mouth!
Fish?
Does this Otherworld indeed have fish?
Bai quickly returned ashore, shook its body, and tossed the large fish onto the ground. Lin Yue went over to observe carefully and couldn’t help but gasp!
"This... really isn’t a fish! Where would a fish have hind limbs?"
Lin Yue looked at this nearly half-ter-long creature with its small hind limbs, instantly dismissing the notion it was entirely a "fish."
It wasn’t much different than Earth fish, but its eyes were extrely small, its mouth overly large filled with innurable sharp teeth.
The eyes were nearly nonexistent, likely because it lived underground for long periods; these sharp teeth should indicate it is a carnivorous creature.
Lin Yue looked again at its two hind limbs.
Calling these "legs" was giving it too much credit; at least legs have things like feet and so discernible shape; these were just two limbs with fins at the ends.
Lin Yue also discovered so sharp spikes on its hind limbs, appearing like bones.
Had it not resembled a fish with scales, Lin Yue might not have been mistaken at a glance.
Could this be a "stitched" creature? Or is it a native species of this Otherworld?
Seeing a mutated creature in the water for the first ti, Lin Yue was quite intrigued. But such a thing can grow so large... is it edible?
[Blind Hunting Fish: Edible, quite delicious]
Oh wow, not bad.
Lin Yue took out the Outstanding Iron Spear, thrusting it directly into this creature’s head; it imdiately ceased moving, a Copper Treasure Chest exploded out, which Lin Yue soon put into Storage Space.
Another food he hadn’t tried before, and it’s evaluated as "delicious" by the system—I’m rather pleased.
Moreover, its size was more than half a ter long, so it should have plenty of at. Judging from that thrust with the Outstanding Iron Spear, the texture seed substantial, promising a good amount of at.
At this mont, Bai seed to understand sothing and imdiately jumped back into the lake, with one large fish after another soon being thrown ashore!
Good heavens, Bai sure is impressive.
Lin Yue continued to land finishing blows, gaining both fish at and Copper Treasure Chests.
In total, he harvested 36 large fish and 36 Copper Treasure Chests.
Consider it an abundant harvest.
"Gawu." Bai seed to have regarded fishing as a form of bathing too, appearing to be having lots of fun.
However, Lin Yue noticed the Combat Suit Bai wore seed to be quick-dry type, returning dry swiftly from being soaked—a testant to advanced technology.
Bai almost never wore it in the Shelter, but invariably donned it outside, evidently quite fond of it.
Could this Combat Armor prove valuable in defense?
Though wishing not to encounter battle, Lin Yue still desired to test its strength in actual combat.
"Bai, let’s quickly get to the nitrate ore to enjoy so air conditioning, and see what’s going on over there," Lin Yue said, flying into the sky with Bai!
