Chapter 1177 Critical Situation (2/2)

However, these people's equipment was more advanced. Their detector could do more

than only eliminate the target signals. It had three groups of coil internal distribution,

including the central transmitter coil, which connected the oscillator to generate the

high-frequency variable magnetic field. Different metals had different influences on the

magnetic field; the detector would eliminate changes of the magnetic field and reserved

its action for the magnetic field induction.

Meteorites were often rich in iron, nickel, and other metals, and different content would

give different impact on the current magnetic field.

Other hunters have brought out a radar vibrator, which worked by sending radar waves

down from the earth's surface through tiny vibrations and receiving feedback.

Because vibrations traveled through ice, earth, rocks, and meteorites in different ways,

the signals could be used to determine what lay beneath.

Li Du was empty-handed, with only a coil of rope over his shoulder. Seeing this, the

meteorite hunters showed derisive expressions.

The Big Beard guy passed by him and said, ”What are you going to use to look for a

meteorite? I suppose you have a magic eye that can see through ice sheets, don't

you?”

Some meteorite hunters laughed, and Newman Ford shouted, ”All right, guys, don't be

funny, just do your job! Can you find a meteorite?”

Myron Ford came over, put his arm around Li Du, and said, ”You are shameless to

laugh at my friend. He does not have your set of tools, but he found a meteorite, so I

think your joking is out of place.”

The hunters' faces darkened, and their eyes became even less friendly.

The Ford brothers were not as kind as Steve. They were the elite offspring of a big old

family, proud and powerful.

Newman and Myron appeared to be standing up for

Li Du, but in fact, they were just using him as an incentive out to make the hunters work

harder. The hunters understood this and saw it none too kindly.

However, Li Du didn't care. He was waiting for a chance.

The opportunity came quickly. The hunters walked along the coast. It was the warm

season, and the ice on the coast has melted, revealing the land below Some of the

places were still covered in ice, though.

When Big Beard came to a ledge of ice, he lowered his probe into the water to see if he

could discover something.

Seeing this, Li Du immediately released little bug to absorb the energy of time in the ice

under his feet.

These ice sheets have been melting a lot, and their strength enduring weight was

reduced. With the little bug's time absorbing ability, the ice became vulnerable in an

instant.

Big Beard weighed at least 120 kilograms, and when he walked on the ice, it could not

bear his weight.

With a loud crash, the ice broke, and Big Beard had no time to jump aside. He fell into

the icy water with a mighty splash, yelling for help.

Despite the warm season, it was still the coldest region on earth, and falling into the sea

was no joke.

The bystanders ducked, then shouted for help, ”Come here, quick, Hankway fell into the

water!”

Big Beard reached for the ice and tried to climb up, but it was too slippery to hold on to.

On the other hand, the ice was so fragile that as he grabbed at it he made it break

further, making his situation even more dangerous.

The hunters who wanted to help were so taken aback that they stopped and hesitated,

not knowing what to do.

As the situation grew more critical with every second, a rope flew out and landed

precisely in front of Big Beard.
