Chapter 589 - 429: Divine Hall’s Secret Treasure, Mad Pursuit!_2

And just now, he easily took this Amethyst Ore from the altar platform of that bizarre giant statue right under their noses.

Lin Yue doesn’t believe that these Lizardmen will give up on this.

Their behavior just now proves that they can become even more insane!

For this Amethyst Ore, the Lizardmen will also mobilize more forces and ultimately suppress this side!

This situation cannot continue.

The combat strength at the Petroleum River Sub-Base is far inferior to that of the main base.

What he can do alone is extremely limited, and if night falls, it will be even more limited.

If the Lizardmen continue their assault, even bring in giant creatures for a forcible attack, there’s no telling what unwanted events might occur.

Eye close to the Sighting Scope, in the grass, the Lizardmen appear again, and simultaneously the two Machine Dogs beside him sniped them dead.

And the next second, when more Lizardmen charged out, the Guard Machine Gun Platform roared back to life!

This situation cannot continue.

Lin Yue looked toward the direction of the main Shelter.

Over there, there are more complete defensive forces, and beings like Xiao Meng and Bai can alone be worth a thousand!

It seems there’s no more choice.

Take this opportunity to first deal with the main matter, then quickly leave here!

Once again returned to the oil extraction refinement platform, Lin Yue took out the Mineral Resource Reserve Detector and placed it on the ground.

Connected the power source, Lin Yue quickly started it up.

With a roaring sound, the screen began to display text.

[Mineral Resource Reserve Detector has started]

[Please place this instrument on flat ground to begin detection]

[Please choose the intended use for detecting the mineral reserve, the exploitable years, the mineral resource quality]

[Selected to detect mineral reserve]

[Please maintain stable power connection for this instrument]

[Detection begins]

[Detecting...]

[19%...76%...]

[100%!]

[Crude Oil Mine: 100%]

[Completed]

[Crude Oil Mine buried depth: 1,032 meters underground — 2,887 meters underground]

[Choose to detect quality]

[Detection complete]

[Crude Oil Mine quality: Grade A!]

Lin Yue opened the System Tablet, listening to the roaring sound of the Guard Machine Gun Platform, seeing indeed a new file had appeared on it.

[Southern Desert Crude Oil Mine]

Opened it, all the intelligence was recorded there.

Lin Yue thought for a moment and then used the remaining alloy, Iron Block, and stone in the Storage Space to build a large number of large warehouses underground.

These stones wrapping iron blocks or alloy, the Lizardmen’s tools, cannot possibly break them open.

Of course, this only serves to lessen some pressure from underground.

If the Lizardmen play dirty and dig out from below, all his efforts will be futile.

Soon, the second wave of Lizardmen’s offensive was repelled again, and Lin Yue took this opportunity to start the tactical dune buggy’s engine!

"Red Line, in case you can’t hold here, don’t hesitate, run straight toward the direction of the main Shelter, understand?"

After replenishing the bullets for both the Machine Dogs and the Guard Machine Gun Platform, Lin Yue said to the little ones.

The little ones nodded heavily.

Lin Yue took one last look at them and then drove out of the alloy gate, heading straight north!

Almost simultaneously, a large swarm of Lizardmen charged out from all directions!

Lin Yue floored the accelerator, and after speeding out a kilometer, he began to decelerate, while the terrifying swarm of Lizardmen started charging from all directions!

The machine gun noise behind him roared countless times, but Lin Yue couldn’t afford to worry about that.

The Lizardmen’s target was him!

Lin Yue took out the Amethyst, raised it high, and the closest Lizardmen, just a few dozen meters away, couldn’t help but howl!

Alright, the hatred attraction ends.

Once more placing the Amethyst Ore into the Storage Space, Lin Yue pressed the accelerator, heading straight toward the direction of the main Shelter!

However, he consciously reduced his speed, drawing the attention of the Lizardmen.

But admittedly, the Lizardmen’s speed is not slow; they can dig out tunnels from anywhere and compensate for the immense speed gap with quick runs.

However, no Lizardman charged out from the sides of the path ahead, proving that even if they are indeed powerful, they also have absolute disadvantages in speed.

Lin Yue leisurely kept luring them toward the direction of the main Shelter, and after seeing the main Shelter’s walls, he felt it was enough and directly floored the accelerator to come to the alloy gate.

"Gawooo!" Bai descended from the sky in a spiral dive, and Lin Yue surprised to see the little one had almost recovered after merely a few hours.

"Bai, inform all the Little Ice Lizards to prepare for battle."

Lin Yue suddenly remembered that he hadn’t had the chance to collect those treasure chests and directly gunned the accelerator back to that side.

However, seeing the mountain-like pile of Copper Treasure Chests, Lin Yue was indeed a bit shocked.

"Dear me, this amount...if it turns out to be all good stuff, then it’d really be a jackpot."

The Storage Space, though vast, could not completely hold so many Copper Treasure Chests. However, looking at nearly ten thousand in total in the Storage Space, Lin Yue couldn’t help but be shocked repeatedly.

After a few trips, he transported all the treasure chests and filled both the underground and above-ground warehouses!

"Adding these up, it seems there are already over fifty-three thousand?"

This number is exceedingly large.

So large that Lin Yue already feels hand pain just hearing this figure.

Even if Bai and Xiao Meng enjoy opening chests, it could really end up giving them PTSD.

Looks like all the Little Ice Lizards should get on stage to open the treasure chests?

Lin Yue estimated that there might still be slightly less than ten thousand Copper Treasure Chests not yet dug out from the soil.

If they really are all taken out...

"I’m starting to regret this ability; is there any way to make it only explode Golden Treasure Chests or higher?"

Lin Yue climbed the walls and looked at the southern distance, where the Lizardmen army had already covered the grassland in a dark color, saying helplessly.

He won’t take the initiative unless absolutely necessary.

Enough Copper Treasure Chests.

Cleared the Storage Space, equipped all the alloy and related items, Lin Yue set up six Medium Electric Guard Machine Gun Platforms directly on the surface towards the south.

By the way, he contacted Fei Yue, asked if they had precision electric actuators and small circuit boards over there, and received a positive answer, then exchanged a lot of food with him for quite a few things.

And soon, Lin Yue manufactured 40 Machine Dogs using these!

And 40 Machine Dogs, all equipped with two sniper rifles for long-distance sniping!

"Alright, with the experience at the Petroleum River, facing these enemies, there’s really no need to worry."

Lin Yue was quite confident about the upcoming battle.

Even if the number is greater than the last time, he can ensure these enemies come and never return!

Of course, he won’t act unless absolutely necessary.

The 40 Machine Dogs cannot be immediately used, but Lin Yue has a plan.

Let their charging plugs directly connect to a power strip, operate while charging, convenient and quick.

Just like when his phone ran out of battery but needed to be used back on Earth.

Lin Yue looked again through the Sighting Scope, the distant Lizardmen army was getting closer and closer.

Their goal, undoubtedly, was the Amethyst he took!

"To go to such great lengths for a gem, you really are capable, but we aren’t inclined to let you leave empty-handed."

The Machine Dogs charging up with energy had already loaded their bullets, and their emotionless monitoring devices were observing the enemy three to four kilometers away.

Front legs bent, hind legs straight.

The Machine Dogs, waiting for the moment to fire the bullet!

Lin Yue glanced at the awaiting Bai, Xiao Meng, and Little Ice Lizards below, full of confidence.

"With boundless regret, go to Hell!"
