Chapter 59: Charging into the Martian Cave

  On the hard and solid red rock layer, this big hole is very conspicuous. Li Yang's curiosity increased when he saw it, and he commanded the mining ship to turn into a racing car and dash towards the big hole.

  The cave was very dark and deep, straight up and down like a bottomless pit. Li Yang manipulated the mining ship to move forward for one kilometer, but it was still pitch black all around.

  However, at this time, the holographic screen on the cockpit of the mining ship displayed that there were infrared signs of biological activity one kilometer underground. This made Liuyang extremely excited, and it turned out that Mars really had living organisms!

  He had the mining ship accelerate to its fastest speed and in a fraction of a second they reached the bottom of the hole.

  Outside, it was still pitch black, but the space had expanded to about one kilometer in diameter. The entrance of this cave was small at the bottom and large at the top, just like an inverted funnel.

  Li Yang made the mining ship fly up, circled around the bottom of the cave once, felt that the headlights of the sports car were a bit inadequate, and simply let the mining ship return to its original shape.

  His eyes lit up and he found that the mining ship was actually a small flying saucer with a diameter of about 10 meters!

  He liked it at first sight, this shape is much cooler than ordinary vehicles, so he simply let the mining ship maintain its cool appearance.

  The mining ship transformed into a flying saucer shape, emitting a faint blue light from its smooth outer shell, which looked weak but illuminated the entire cave floor.

  Liyang found that the bottom of the cave was surrounded by reddish-brown rocks, smooth and flat, as if cut by a sharp blade, and there were no openings or gates.

  However, on the holographic display of the mining ship, more than ten meters below the rock layer at the bottom of the cave, there is a larger cave, where a large number of humanoid creatures are gathered!

  Although the image was not very clear, Li Yang immediately recognized that they were humanoid creatures. He excitedly ordered the mining ship to dig through the underground rock layer and enter the cave to investigate.

  The mining ship's purple light overflowed, quickly dissolving the thin layer of rock. However, beneath the rock was a strange metallic substance that displayed as "Qīng Jīn" on the light screen, apparently this metal was quite hard. The unstoppable mining ship's movements slowed down significantly, only sinking half a meter in one second.

  Lingyang searched for this kind of cyanine ore vein and found that the entire cave floor was a metal gate made of high-purity cyanine, with a large amount of this metal existing in the surrounding rock layers. The gate is about 10 meters thick, in a standard circular shape, with a diameter of at least one kilometer!

  Through this green-golden gate, below is a super-large cave, where there are a large number of life forms with infrared characteristics similar to the human body.

  Li Yang guessed that Martians should be hiding behind the door and didn't come out to see him.

  Although he didn't understand what nephrite was, he thought that since it was unusually hard, it must have some extraordinary qualities. He had an idea and, driven by the psychology of taking advantage of a bargain, ordered the mining ship to excavate the entire nephrite gate!

  The mining ship was like a worm gnawing at a pancake, slowly moving along the bottom of the hole. Ten minutes had passed, and it had already gnawed through this ten-meter-thick green gold gate, leaving behind a pockmarked surface full of large pits. Through the spaceship's light screen, Li Yang could clearly see that the underground Martians were stirring, seemingly unable to remain calm.

  "Crack!"

  A loud noise, the Qingjin Gate at the bottom of the cave moved, and the originally flat ground suddenly cracked open hundreds of curved moon-shaped metal pieces, rotating towards the wall of the cave. A bowl-sized opening appeared in the center of the bottom of the cave, and it was rapidly expanding, soon becoming as large as a basketball court.

  Liyang was considering whether to open the mining ship and enter through the cave entrance, when a very small black object with an orange-yellow light suddenly came at an extremely fast speed!

  Although he didn't know what this thing was, Li Yang thought that it shouldn't be a welcoming gift for this uninvited guest, so before the mysterious object hit the ship's body, he commanded the mining ship to fly into the pit with his consciousness!

  The mining ship was moving too fast, and before these Martians could react, it flew hundreds of kilometers along a huge cave under the command of Li Yang, finally stopping at a place without Martians.

  Leyang sat in the mining ship, patted his chest and let out a long sigh. Just now when he rushed into the Martian cave, his heart rate was at least 120 beats per minute!

  Calm down and think about the current situation, he knows that going out with a mining ship will definitely be attacked by Martians again, and it's very dangerous for one person to walk out of the mining ship. What should I do?

  Now unable to contact Flying Disc Star Brain, the only companion is the mining ship.

  "Excavation ship... no, since you're so sturdy, I'll call you Iron Head instead." Li Yang communicated with the excavation ship through his consciousness.

  "Yes, master. From now on I'll be called Iron Head." A thick male voice echoed in Li Yang's mind, this was the first time he heard the autonomous voice of the mining ship.

  " Ironhead, what was it that the Martians just fired at us?"

  "Master, it seems like a threatening weapon to me. I can only let it hit me once to analyze the composition of this weapon."

  "Oh, since it's a danger to you, let's keep our distance. Now I want to blend in with the Martians and see what they're up to, what should we do?"

  "I can transform into a spacesuit and wrap you up, Master, so you'll be safe."

  "Space suit? I didn't like the ugly design last time on the moon, can you make me look a bit prettier?"

  "Master, I can transform you into a Martian appearance, and you can easily blend in without being discovered by them."

  "But I don't understand their language, if I speak it will be exposed."

  "Master, I can detect the consciousness flow of almost all living beings in the universe, thereby deciphering their language. Our thoughts are synchronized, and it's easy for you to communicate with them."

  "Oh, that makes me feel better. When you probe their stream of consciousness, won't it also be captured by the Martian's counter-plot like how my brain was captured by the Star Brain?"

  "Master, Star Brain will only interface with your brain in case of an emergency. Scanning and interfacing are not the same thing, this situation won't happen."

  "Oh, I'm relieved then."

  Li Yang's eyes rolled around for half a day, and finally, driven by his own curiosity, he let Tie Tou help him transform into a Martian.

  Just after Ironhead entered the cave, he had already captured a large number of Martian appearance features. In an instant, he wrapped himself in Li Yang's body surface, completely changing his appearance.

  This package is arguably the most perfect disguise in the world, Li Yang's body surface was high where it should be high and low where it should be low, his skin and clothes had all changed appearance, he curiously looked at his own appearance, feeling greatly surprised.

  The clothes on his body had turned into a silver-white soft yet hard fabric, which seemed more like a soft metal than a fabric. The upper garment was a tight-fitting structure that clung tightly to Li Yang's body, and when he flexed his arm, the slightly muscular biceps could be seen under the clothing.

  The lower body is a strange costume similar to a Scottish long skirt, only much longer, all the way down to the ankle. The shoes on his feet are a pair of lead-gray shiny metallic boots that fit perfectly. Although it's a long skirt, there's no vacuum underneath, and a tight-fitting long pants wraps around his body tightly.

  As for what his face had turned into, Li Yang couldn't see it himself. He adapted to the new appearance of his entire body for a while before walking forward with a steady pace.

  This is a huge cave, about 20 meters high and 20 meters wide, with round spherical objects emitting soft white light at regular intervals to illuminate the interior of the cave as if it were daylight.

  The ground was covered with dark red stone roads, the same as the walls on both sides, and there were many colorful patterns on top, like a flower, but also like a bird. Li Yang walked along and looked at them, but couldn't make out what they meant.

  When he walked to a fork in the road, he suddenly met a red-haired woman rushing over!

  All that was seen was the dark red clothes on her body, slightly different from Li Yang's. Her head was adorned with bright red long hair. Her figure was slender and elegant, her facial features refined, her skin pale with a hint of green, big eyes, small mouth, except for the overly pale skin and a pair of large ears that were slightly pointed, almost identical to an earthling!

  The woman saw Li Yang and suddenly shouted in surprise: "Ah, are you the messenger of light?"

  What she said was tone obscure and difficult to understand. Although Li Yang had Tie Tou's help, it was still easy to hear what she said, but he couldn't understand the meaning of her words.

  "What is this thing called the Gospel?"

  The voice emitted by Li Yang can also be understood by this red-haired woman through Tie Tou's translation.

  "Sir Bright, you're here to exchange for spirit stones, right? I just dug up one in the past few days. Can we make a deal? Give me two cans of nutrient solution?" The red-haired woman rummaged through an old bag and pulled out a thumb-sized, pale red, four-sided object that sparkled under the light in the cave. Liuyang took a closer look and couldn't help but be shocked - wasn't this a mid-grade diamond?!

  He took it over, took a closer look, and saw that the pink diamond was shining brightly in the tunnel, and he couldn't help but feel very happy. This small piece of medium-quality diamond was worth as much as 10,000 pieces of low-quality diamonds!

  His complexion improved a lot, and he looked puzzled: "What nutrient solution? Is it edible?"

  "Hmm! Lord Lumina, I'm starving, I'm about to die of hunger! I need nutrient fluid!" The red-haired woman nodded.

  It turned out she was going to eat it!

  Li Yang put his hand behind his back and after a moment's thought, he took out one of the hidden meat buns from inside his iron head and handed it to her.

  This was what he had processed in the spaceship today and hadn't had time to eat, Li Yang thought for a moment, then took out a bottle of Lebaishi mineral water and handed it over.

  The red-haired woman looked at the sandwich in surprise, then at the mineral water, and finally back at the man with a bewildered expression. "Sir Knight of Light," she exclaimed, "I need nutrient fluid! I'm really starving!"

  "Right, this is something to eat. You'd better eat quickly! This is called roujiamo, it smells great, try some?" Li Yang stretched out his right hand and gave her a wave of greeting.
