"Something must have happened here …" Wang Baole didn't act rashly. First, he carefully observed his surroundings. Then, he used the False Immortal pressure of the Dharmic Battleship to sweep his surroundings. After confirming that there was no danger in the area he was in, his eyes finally fell on the wreckage around him.
Because he didn't understand the culture of this civilization, Wang Baole wasn't able to determine the age of the corpses based on their clothes. At the same time, there was a mysterious force in this star system that could conceal his Divine Sense. It seemed to be able to freeze time as well, causing the corpses to maintain the appearance they had at the moment of death. Even their clothes and accessories remained the same, showing no signs of decay.
The amount of magic power required to do this was beyond Wang Baole's imagination. He couldn't figure out whether this was the work of a cultivator or the strangeness of this galaxy.
"Normally speaking, although this galaxy is remote, it's impossible that no one has come here for so many years. But after they came … it doesn't make sense that the corpses and wreckage are still here." Wang Baole narrowed his eyes. He didn't relax his vigilance and restrained his greed. He didn't immediately examine the floating corpses and wreckage. He was worried that there might be some unknown danger that the compass couldn't detect.
Instead, he waved his hand and released tens of thousands of puppets. He controlled these puppets to spread out and use their eyes to examine his surroundings. In addition, he also separated seven or eight strands of divine sense from his essence doppelganger and placed them in the puppets to act as more accurate eyes.
In this way, the tens of thousands of puppets spread out with the Dharmic Battleship as the center, passing by the corpses. As they spread out, Wang Baole's field of vision grew wider and wider. After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, when the puppets had spread out to a certain range, Wang Baole's eyes suddenly narrowed.
He saw that, amidst the countless corpses and remains, there were some corpses that were clearly dressed differently from the other corpses. This difference wasn't limited to a single area but was scattered in many different locations. Just the locations that Wang Baole could detect now numbered seven to eight.
"These corpses are of a different age from the wreckage that originally existed here …" This discovery made Wang Baole even more vigilant. Some images and judgments appeared in his mind. In the images, cultivators from other civilizations had passed by this place many times and died in accidents after entering.
"Could it be that the corpses that originally existed here do indeed contain unknown dangers?" Wang Baole narrowed his eyes and thought for a while. But he wasn't willing to leave just like that. So he sent out more puppets, and they flew past the sea of stars formed by the surrounding corpses and towards the four planets.
He planned to use the puppets' power to see if there was anything strange about these planets so that he could determine whether to search this place or not...
With that thought in mind, when the number of puppets Wang Baole had sent out reached thirty thousand, a portion of them finally neared a planet. The planet was black in color, and from the cosmos, it looked like a gigantic meteorite. Even when the puppets stepped onto the planet, they still saw the same thing.
There were no plants or rivers. There were only mountain peaks and mountain ranges. The entire planet was extremely quiet. Not a single sound could be heard. Even when Wang Baole's puppets arrived and broke the silence, there were no signs of life.
Wang Baole temporarily put aside the idea of having the puppets continue exploring until the remaining puppets had landed on the other three planets. Then, he simultaneously began to observe the planets. But as he inspected the planets, Wang Baole's eyes suddenly widened. He immediately controlled one of the puppets and directed its gaze to land on a small black bamboo growing on a small mountain on one of the planets!
The bamboo looked like a plant, but in fact, it was made of stone. Even the leaves were the same. At the same time, there was a stream of juice slowly seeping out from the tree trunk and spreading down.
There was no fragrance or any signs of life, but this scene was like a thunderclap in Wang Baole's eyes. It made his heart beat faster instantly.
"Stone Bamboo!"
Wang Baole was in disbelief. In fact, he had seen this item in the ancient records of the Divine Eye civilization. Although the name was ordinary, it was extremely valuable. Furthermore, it had been extinct in the Divine Eye civilization for many years. If he wanted to obtain it, he would have to trade with other civilizations. The price was even more ridiculous.
Stone Bamboo was one of the core materials used to build and upgrade Dharmic Battleships. It was rare and in short supply. Therefore, even a section the size of a finger was often enough to cause a fight. For example, the entire Stone Bamboo in front of Wang Baole … If he took it out, it wouldn't cause the two greater sects to go to war, but it would at least cause a few armies to go crazy.
At the same time, the appearance of this Stone Bamboo was exactly what Wang Baole wanted and needed. After all, he currently only had a half-Ddharmic Battleship. Once he added enough Stone Bamboo, there was a high chance that it could evolve into a true Dharmic Battleship!
"A single Stone Bamboo …" Wang Baole's heart raced, but he still hesitated because of the danger he sensed. While he was hesitating, the other puppets began to survey the four planets. One Stone Bamboo after another appeared like cabbages. On the third planet, there were as many as a hundred Stone Bamboos!
There were dozens of them on the other planets as well. This intense stimulation caused Wang Baole's eyes to redden, and his breathing quickened. Beside him, the donkey and Little Wu couldn't see what was going on, so they didn't know why Wang Baole was behaving like this. However, Little Wu quickly realized that he had discovered a treasure.
As for the donkey, even though it didn't know what Wang Baole was thinking, the temptation of this place was no less than that of the Stone Bamboo to Wang Baole. After all … the countless corpses and Dharmic treasure fragments outside were all food to the donkey!
And some of them looked like they would be delicious …
Therefore, as Wang Baole's breathing quickened, so did the donkey's. In the end, Little Wu looked at Wang Baole and the donkey with trepidation. After thinking quickly, he forced himself to breathe faster in order to keep up with them.
"There are so many Stone Bamboos. I can go take a gamble!" After a long while, Wang Baole gritted his teeth and took out the compass to inspect the four planets again. When he found that there were no fluctuations of other colors on the four planets, he didn't hesitate any longer. He immediately ordered all the puppets to mine the Stone Bamboos. At the same time, he took out thousands of warships and had them approach the four planets to serve as transportation for the puppets!
Even though this was a gamble, Wang Baole remained vigilant. His cultivation was at full power, and his Dharmic Battleship was at full power. If anything were to go wrong, he was confident that he would be able to escape unscathed. He was at the edge of the galactic civilization, which was why he was confident that he would be able to escape unscathed.
Therefore, as he was nervous and vigilant, time slowly passed. It wasn't easy for the numerous puppets to mine the Stone Bamboos. The rocks on the four planets were extremely hard, and many puppets had to work at the same time to loosen a small part of the rock. Therefore, despite the large number of puppets and the passage of time, only one Stone Bamboo had been dug out and sent to Wang Baole's location on the warship.
"There's no rush. I can take it slow …." Wang Baole was anxious, but he knew that if he panicked, he would lose his composure. It would be hard to avoid carelessness, which would lead to unfavorable developments. Therefore, even as he comforted himself, his eyes burned with passion as he looked at the galaxy.
But just as Wang Baole's eyes were burning with passion, suddenly, the ground of one of the planets trembled slightly. Wang Baole immediately noticed this, but before he could take a closer look, the tremors grew stronger. Even the other three planets were the same. Instantly, it was as if an earth dragon was rolling and shaking violently.
As the ground quaked and the mountains swayed, the rocks, mountains, and mountain ranges on the four planets began to emanate shocking auras. As the auras appeared, wild colors flashed in the sky, and a wind kicked up. The starry sky of the entire planetary system began to tremble as the rocks, mountains, and mountain ranges … began to rise to their feet!!
They were not rocks, mountains, or mountain ranges, but … majestic stone golems of varying sizes!
They seemed to have been sleeping, but after being awakened by the movements of Wang Baole's puppets, they seemed to be in an extremely bad mood. When they opened their eyes, revealing red pupils, they all looked in the direction of the puppets and let out crazed roars that shook the entire galaxy!!
Wang Baole's face fell. He wanted to recall the puppets, but the stone golems' roars were too powerful. As they swept through the galaxy like a hurricane, rumbling booms rang out continuously. Half of the 30,000 puppets were swept away by the hurricane and turned into dust!
That wasn't all. What really made Wang Baole, the donkey, and Little Wu tremble in fear was the fact that a large number of stone golems had awakened within the four planets. Each of them had seven to eight Spirit Immortal realm auras, and they were erupting from within the four planets!
"What kind of joke is this?!" Wang Baole wailed. Without hesitation, he maneuvered the semi-magical warship to escape.
