Picking Up Supreme Treasures in the Dream Realm-Chapter 517 - 351, Xiaoya’s Star Island

The massive collapse caused by Yang Fan taking away the ruins undoubtedly alarmed many entities in the surrounding areas.

Dozens of kilometers away.

A dozen Iron Fist People dressed like tin cans were huddled in an underground shelter, preparing to get through the long, cold night.

The shelter was located more than ten meters below the sand layer.

The space inside the cave was not large, with each tin can having only about two to three square meters of space, appearing quite cramped.

The walls of the shelter were also lined with a soft soundproof material to prevent noises from leaking out and attracting attacks from Death Sand Worms and other monsters.

During the many years of exploring the Black Sand Sea, the Iron Fist People had spent night after night in such harsh environments.

At this moment. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Each tin can sat cross-legged with closed eyes to rest, their weapons placed by their sides, ready to fight at any moment.

A deep voice sounded: "We just found one of their abandoned camps, and from the signs left at the camp, it seems there are no survivors."

The "they" in this sentence referred to an exploration team dispatched by the Iron Fist Civilization not long ago.

This exploration team numbered over a hundred people, making it one of the larger teams in recent years.

Although the Iron Fist Civilization had developed for so many years with millions of Superpower Users, losing all the elite members of an exploration team at once was still a painful loss.

An Iron Fist Person opened his eyes and sighed, "They must have encountered a powerful monster. Let’s hope our luck isn’t too bad."

Another Iron Fist Person also sighed, "Over the years, we’ve lost too many people."

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere inside the cave subtly changed.

The Commander, seeing the atmosphere was off, immediately said, "In the early stages of developing the Primordial World, every Civilization World always pays a heavy price."

He paused, imbuing the exploration team with noble significance: "Without our bloodshed and battles, the Iron Fist Civilization would never have a future."

But this sentence did not boost the team’s morale.

After all, they had heard such "praise for the exploration team" many times since they were young.

They were already immune to it.

Just then.

"Ding~"

A small bell placed in the center of the cave suddenly vibrated.

The bell was connected to a metal wire that passed through the soundproof layer of the cave wall, capable of sensing external vibrations.

The bell had a small amount of Supernatural Power to amplify external vibrations.

This was a very simple but extremely effective small mechanism.

It was also a method summarized by the Iron Fist People, helping them foresee countless dangers in advance.

The Commander immediately changed his expression: "What’s going on?"

He turned to an Iron Fist Person and asked, "Gargate, how far is the vibration from the shelter?"

"Ding~"

The bell rang twice in quick succession.

Gargate quickly touched the bell and reported a distance: "Over eighty kilometers."

The Commander’s face looked grim.

For the vibrations to be felt even from such a distance, something significant must have happened far away.

And the Black Sand Sea was a strange place, with powerful monsters becoming more active at night than during the day.

Such a loud noise would surely attract many terrifying creatures.

A crisis was now impending again.

Everyone in the shelter had thought of this.

Gargate watched the Commander with some nervousness and asked, "What should we do?"

The Commander was indecisive.

If they continued to hide in the shelter, they might still be discovered by monsters.

Because the stronger the monster, the more sensitive its perception usually was.

Though the cave was lined with a soundproof layer, it was absolutely unable to stop a monster’s probe.

If they were unlucky and encountered a strong monster, there might not be many survivors in the entire team.

If the team evacuated the shelter, it would also be an extremely risky move.

"Ding~"

The bell continued to ring.

A team member reminded, "From the sound of this signal, it seems that monsters from within a few hundred kilometers will be attracted. They will definitely try to find the cause of this event around here, so staying here is an even greater risk."

The Commander came to realization: "You’re right!"

He decisively ordered, "All members..."

Before he could finish the sentence.

"Ding-ling~ ding-ling~"

The bell suddenly rang sharply.

The sound became louder and more urgent.

Gargate quickly touched the bell, his pupils suddenly constricting: "Not good, a big one is coming towards us."

Undoubtedly.

The shelter had been discovered.

The Commander felt a chill in his heart and resolutely said, "Everyone flee separately!"

This was the only solution.

Gathering together would only lead to annihilation.

Dispersing and fleeing could allow more people to survive.

The Commander was the first to rush out of the shelter, running while wielding a giant spear to continuously strike the sand, producing dull thuds.

He was clearly creating noise to attract the monster’s attention and cover the escape of other members.

This was a very heroic act.

Soon.

The Commander’s journey through the Black Sand Sea inevitably reached its final moment.

A sharp claw suddenly emerged from the sand, slashing towards the Commander with the force of thunder.

Although the Commander was a High Rank Warrior, he could not react to this strike, and his entire body was cleaved in two.

The sand seemed to turn into soft liquid, and the body sank directly into the sand.

Only traces of blood remained, staining a section of the black sand red.

Nearby.
