The stone gate guarded by two stone figures was engraved with a special pattern.
This stone gate had no keyholes or special hidden compartnts. Baiyu’s spirituality swept over it and found that it seed to be completely sealed, with no apparent way to open it.
At this mont.
The little girl slowly drew two crystals from the body of another stone figure and smashed them onto the stone gate.
The energy from the exploding crystals was entirely absorbed by the stone gate.
Three seconds later.
The stone gate slowly opened.
Baiyu looked at the little girl, his eyes full of suspicion, "How did you know how to open the stone gate?"
The little girl explained in a low voice, "The stone-shell species’ treasury generally opens this way, because with their stone heads, they couldn’t think of any complex structures."
"This isn’t your first encounter with the stone-shell species, is it?"
Baiyu asked.
The little girl walked into the stone gate and said in a low voice, "Of course, it’s not the first ti. Although the stone-shell species are rare now, in so remote cosmic regions and on so primitive planets, they still have so communities.
After all.
Many stone-shell species are still maintaining their worship of their gods, offering sacrifices to the Stone Origin God.
Hoping for a day.
These dead deities could return from the Void Realm.
However.
As long as the human deities exist, those Stone Origin Gods can’t return from the Void Realm.
There will be those who keep an eye on their movents.
The Double-Horned Axe strictly guards the gate of the Void Realm."
After the little girl finished speaking, she continued forward, avoiding further discussion on the topic.
Beyond the stone gate.
There was a long corridor, but there were no guards. When Baiyu and the little girl, Huo Dou, reached the end of the corridor, they saw an elliptical exit from which a group of lizards, appearing to be made of diamond, rested.
These lizards were about the size of a waterwheel.
Their bodies, like diamonds, shone with a tallic luster, and they lay on the ground resting, unaware of the strangers’ arrival.
"Diamond Lizards only appear in places with a Heart of Stone. Do not disturb them; each one possesses at least Moon Devouring Tier strength.
Moon Devouring Tier.
That’s already the strongest below the Sun Realm.
The peak of the Eclipse Moon Realm!
The level Baiyu is striving to reach now, but the Moon Devouring stage.
However.
Is still far out of reach.
How could these lizards possess Moon Devouring Tier abilities? You can’t tell at all. Could it be because they’re asleep?
At this mont.
The little girl flicked her fingers again.
Threads of shimring silk spread forward, quickly taking control of a smaller Diamond Lizard.
This bizarre ability was sothing Baiyu had never heard of before.
It seed.
Anything caught by her silk threads quickly beca her marionette, at her disposal.
But for her to control a Diamond Lizard.
It indicates that her strength might also be at the Moon Devouring stage!
Terrifying.
Since when did the Demon Puppet Pirate Gang have such a skilled person?
Baiyu watched as the Diamond Lizard awoke from its slumber, then slowly walked over and even nuzzled against Huo Dou’s palm affectionately.
Huo Dou gestured for Baiyu to sit on the Diamond Lizard.
In such a situation, Baiyu naturally didn’t hesitate; he imdiately sat on the Diamond Lizard, and Huo Dou mounted it as well.
The Diamond Lizard, carrying the two of them, kept moving deeper ahead.
It seed that because both of them carried the Diamond Lizards’ scent, the other lizards remained undisturbed.
Soon.
The two reached yet another descending entrance.
The little girl jumped right in.
Seeing this, Baiyu followed her into the hole.
Darkness...
An endless black.
The interior of this hole was completely devoid of light, unlike the previous rock walls, which were inherently fiery red, illuminating the darkness.
"Do you know any fire Spirit Techniques? Light a fire; it’s too dark here, and being unable to see will be very troubleso," Huo Dou said in a deep voice.
Baiyu snapped his fingers.
Imdiately.
A fla ignited between his fingers.
What appeared before them was a massive stone tree.
The tree was not tall, but its trunk was exceedingly thick, entirely made of rock.
It grew on a massive stone, surrounded by a circle of flowing water, looking very peculiar.
"Aren’t there any guards here?"
Baiyu looked towards the little girl.
She pointed into the darkness, and Baiyu, through the light of the fla, discovered nurous stone guards standing motionless in the dark.
At this mont.
The little girl beca the center, radiating countless transparent threads in different directions.
These threads penetrated the bodies of the stone guards, forming a bizarre equilibrium.
"Ti is pressing; I can’t control them for long."
Huo Dou stepped towards the stone tree.
She clearly didn’t need Baiyu’s help, but she habitually gave a brief explanation.
Baiyu watched the scene in silence.
As a complete novice, Baiyu felt it was best just to observe and avoid creating chaos.
Huo Dou approached the stone tree.
Next.
Transparent silk threads poured from her palms, forming a small knife, "Ordinarily, this stone tree doesn’t need guarding because its defense is incredibly strong, and there’s little that can harm it.
However.
I’ve dealt with these stone trees before.
So I have so experience dealing with them."
She said.
The small knife made of silk threads in her hand sank directly into the stone tree, as if piercing it.
Yet it was clear that the stone tree hadn’t been pierced; the threads had simply entered it.
At this ti.
Huo Dou gently drew the small knife, and surprisingly, she managed to open a wound on the stone tree, revealing a black-brown, rock-made heart within, pulsing beat by beat.
Clearly made of rock.
But it could beat and even had a heartbeat.
For a mont.
Baiyu sensed a peculiar feeling rising in his heart.
After retrieving the Heart of Stone, the little girl quickly pulled a paper-like item from her pocket and with a gentle shake, it transford into a box, encapsulating the Heart of Stone.
"Retreat; this ti we didn’t co out empty-handed. Now we just need to return to the Starship for it to be considered a great success."
The little girl’s eyes glead with joy.
Yet.
At that mont, Baiyu felt the need to remind her.
Within the Demon Puppet Pirate Gang, she should be of factory-level standing.
"The Black Shark has already been destroyed, crushed by the claws of a giant stone crab," Baiyu said gravely. "If you return to the surface now, you might still find so Black Shark debris. As for the other Starships’ status, I’m uncertain."
In that mont.
The little girl’s face darkened, and she said in a deep voice, "I knew that thing would be a constant trouble if left unresolved! But don’t worry, let’s go out and assess the situation first."
