Build a ninth-level civilization from the wandering starry sky

Lu Li measured the trajectory of the biological traces, and then concluded that creatures nearly four meters tall had appeared in this basin, and they also used huge metal tools to dig out a basin here.

"Alien creatures?"

"How can there be living creatures in such a barren place?"

Lu Li estimated the distance between this planet and the territory of the Sen Ye Empire. According to the current speed, it would only take one month to arrive.

Could it be that in the Andromeda Galaxy, besides the three great empires, there is another civilization that has not been detected?

This is unscientific.

If a civilization could emerge when they are so close, then why is it that only Earth has life in the solar system, while the other planets are life-forbidden zones?

After thinking for a moment, Lu Li felt it necessary to explore the area carefully.

If there really is another civilization, we have to be on guard against it, because we never know when the Sen Ye Empire might be attacked.

"Silver Scale, can you detect what's down there?"

Lu Li squatted down and turned over some yellowish sand and dust. From his sensory point of view, these sand and dust were just fine dust formed by continuous meteorite impacts, and there was nothing special about them.

However, these sand and dust are not accumulated all year round. Most of them have recently fallen into this basin from sandstorms.

In other words, there were traces of biological activity in this basin over a short period of time, and they cleaned up the sand and dust here.

"The magnetic field here is very chaotic, and many instruments have lost their functions and cannot detect them."

"Lu Li, I'm afraid you'll have to do the manual exploration on your own. Taichu and I can only simply assist you."

Silver Scale said.

"Come on!"

Taichu looks so cute.

Lu Li was helpless. The two artificial intelligences could not help much right now. It seemed that he could only rely on himself.

One could easily guess what secrets were hidden in this excavated basin. Lu Li carefully checked it and cleared away large areas of yellow sand.

After a while, he cleared an area.

Beneath the yellow sand are orderly arranged rock layers, and above these there are other substances.

A thumb-sized diamond-shaped stone rolled to Lu Li's feet.

The stone was black, and the gray light shining on it did not reflect anything. It seemed to be extremely dark, swallowing up all light.

"Is this, some kind of mineral?"

Lu Li picked up the stone. He did not recognize the material in front of him, and there was no record of it in the empire's records.

This should be a new mineral.

"Yinlin, can you analyze it?"

Lu Li asked.

"There are no instruments on site, so we can't do any analysis."

Yin Lin's answer was straightforward.

Lu Li rolled his eyes. If the equipment was sufficient, there would be no need for Yin Lin to analyze it. He could analyze it himself.

I squeezed it hard and felt that the stone was very hard, but I didn't know what kind of mineral it was.

"Take it back and have a look..."

Lu Li collected the diamond-shaped ore and prepared to return to the battleship to study it.

Then Lu Li started to clean up the yellow sand. He didn't clean it very fast, but every time he passed a certain distance, he would see a piece of such ore, as if there was a mine underneath.

"Huh...it seems that this is the biggest gain from this basin."

After a while, Lu Li already had more than a dozen such black stones in his hands.

He planned to go back and see what this thing was. It would be great if it was some kind of energy mineral. He could extract energy from it to build a reactor to power the warship.

Leaping to the remote part of the basin, Lu Li planned to leave.

But at this moment, the deposited yellow sand actually fell down, and there seemed to be a huge space under the basin, swallowing everything.

"Lu Li, something is coming out. It's energy fluctuations."

Silver Scale reminded Lu Li at this time that it had detected energy, which was erupting from deep underground and heading toward the ground.

"Get out of the way!"

The display kept flashing red, reminding Lu Li of the crisis at the moment.

Lu Li was horrified and didn't understand what was going on, but he quickly left his current location and flew away.

The next second, a brilliant red and white light surged out from the ground and rushed straight into the sky.

bang——

Huge waves swept in, and the sandstorm that was originally tearing the rocks apart was now dispersed. Lu Li was affected and could not even keep his balance.

Lu Li's armor is comparable to the Fearless T-1. Apart from its combat power, its toughness is definitely not bad, but it still feels uncomfortable now.

If someone were hit directly by this aurora-like light, he would probably be crippled if not killed.

"What the hell, what the hell, opening fire when there's a disagreement, are you trying to kill someone?"

Lu Li was in a bit of a mess; the attack he just launched was comparable to a positron cannon.

"Lu Li, what's going on there? Why do I see a bright light shooting straight into the sky?"

Carl's voice came from the headset.

Everyone far away on the other side could see the scarlet beam of light and its terrible destructive power.

"I found a basin with traces of living things. I guess that creature has noticed it."

"There is a kind of extremely black stone in the basin. I don't know what it is. I was planning to bring it back, but it was destroyed for no apparent reason."

Lu Li was flying in the air at this time, looking solemnly at the dark hole below. It was made by a red light beam and there was no end in sight.

"We'll be here to support you right away."

Carl said immediately.

"Don't move, support is useless."

"I haven't even seen the enemy, how can I fight? Besides, our energy is not enough to sustain a battle."

"You guys retreat first, return to the battleship. This planet is not safe. I will follow you back later."

Lu Li cursed, then flew in the opposite direction of everyone.

"But......"

"Don't die, you damned one."

Carl said grumpily.

"I'm lucky. I survived the journey through the galaxy from a first-level civilization. How could I die here?"

Lu Li snorted, blocked all outside information, and ran away.

He had no idea what kind of creatures were underground, or what kind of technological power they had, so he could only run in the opposite direction. It was highly likely that Carl and the others would not be affected, unless the technology of those creatures had broken through to the third-level civilization.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to spot the warship anchored in the dust.

Less than ten seconds after Lu Li flew away, the huge basin split open in the middle.

The sand and gravel that were originally deposited on top fell down, and two spaceships like tentacles flew out from the bottom of the basin, following the direction Lu Li left.
