Whoosh!
Lu An's figure descended in a straight line. From the surface to three hundred kilometers, from three hundred kilometers to five hundred kilometers, and from five hundred kilometers to eight hundred kilometers. After traveling eight hundred kilometers, the crater around him began to visibly shrink, indicating that he was about to reach the end.
Even so, Lu An still had to fly another fifty kilometers before reaching the bottom of the crater. In other words, the entire crater was nine hundred kilometers deep.
It was too deep.
Not only that, but Lu An was standing on the ground. Although it was called the ground, it was actually a pile of rubble. It was obvious that countless rocks had been deposited here. This definitely wasn't the bottom of the crater. Even if there really was something here, it would definitely be buried under the rubble. As such, Lu An didn't stop. Instead, he immediately entered the rubble and used his power to forcefully open a path through the rubble. He quickly continued to fly downwards.
This time, Lu An flew for another hundred or so kilometers before finally arriving at the true bottom.
A thousand-foot-deep crater!
From the shape of the crater, it didn't look like it had been destroyed by an area-of-effect attack. Rather, it looked like a needle had pierced into the surface of the planet, resulting in this crater.
The reason why Lu An was able to confirm that he had reached the bottom of the crater was because the rocks beneath his feet were extremely hard. It was obvious that they had been compressed by a great deal of force. This planet, on the other hand, was completely different from the surrounding rubble. Lu An immediately spread out his perception, wanting to see if there was anything here that had been left behind along with the power of the explosion.
However … … the reality disappointed Lu An. There was nothing here. Apart from the rocks and soil of the planet itself, there was nothing else here.
The previous planets had water and life, but this one was completely lifeless. There was nothing here.
However, Lu An didn't mind too much. A secret that had been hidden for ninety thousand years couldn't be discovered so easily. Otherwise, his wife wouldn't have remained undiscovered for so long. Otherwise, the Astrals wouldn't have been unable to find her for so long.
Even though he hadn't found anything, Lu An wasn't completely without benefit. Because of the large number of rocks that had fallen down here, a large portion of the aura here had been preserved. It was much clearer than on the surface. Lu An carefully memorized this aura. This could gradually form a comparison of auras after going to many stars, allowing Lu An to connect all the stars he had passed by. Perhaps he would be able to find some clues.
Soon, Lu An flew out of the deep pit and continued to fly forward. Along the way, Lu An encountered quite a number of deep pits, but the deep pits were not very dense. It was just that with the speed of a Heaven Tier cultivator, they did not appear to be rare. Lu An did not enter every crater. Instead, he flew a long distance before entering the next crater. In fact, this method of traveling was a waste of time for Lu An. If he had come to this star by himself, he could have used Space Teleportation to travel. It would have saved him a lot of time.
However, even if Lu An's perception did not detect anyone else's presence, Lu An did not dare to use Spatial Teleportation. Otherwise, the consequences of being discovered would be dire.
Just like that, Lu An continued to fly forward. Within two hours, Lu An had entered four deep pits. Two hours later, the five of them returned to the starting point through the teleportation array. Wang Wei looked at the four of them and asked, "Did you find anything?"
Everyone shook their heads, including Lu An. Wang Wei did not find anything special. Based on her previous experience, it was likely that the chances of this star having an anomaly had become very small.
Just like that, time slowly passed. In the process of searching, another day had passed, and three days had passed for this mission. After searching the previous star, they did not rest. After searching for a day here, everyone was physically and mentally exhausted. Hence, after gathering, everyone was prepared to rest for a while before continuing the search.
The five of them sat on a hill on the surface of the star. There were many exposed rocks on the hill. They could sit or lie down. Han Qing and Chen Wenyuan lay down without hesitation and closed their eyes as if they were asleep. Wang Huan did the same. Judging from the state of the three of them, although they were all in the Heaven Tier, they looked no different from ordinary people when they rested after exhaustion.
The two who did not lie down were Wang Wei and Lu An. Among them, Wang Wei sat on a rock very close to the three of them. The four of them were in the same area. Lu An was the only one who sat far away, at least 300 meters away from the four of them.
Han Qing, Chen Wenyuan, and Wang Huan looked as if they were asleep. Wang Wei, who was sitting alone, was also very bored. She turned to look at Lu An in the distance and found that the man was sitting on a rock and playing with two stones in his hand.
After thinking about it, Wang Wei moved toward Lu An.
Wang Wei did not disturb the three lying down. She moved very slowly, and Lu An could sense it. When Wang Wei came to Lu An's side, Lu An turned to look at Wang Wei but did not speak.
Wang Wei looked at the very solitary man in front of her and then looked at the two stones in his hand. She asked, "What are you doing?"
"Waiting," Lu An said faintly.
"Aren't you tired?" Wang Wei asked again.
"I'm fine," Lu An said. "Why? Is something the matter?"
"Nothing," Wang Wei said. "They're all lying down, but you're still sitting. I'm looking for you to relieve my boredom."
Lu An looked at Wang Wei. He knew that the people of the Spirit Race were more proactive than the people of the Sengoku civilization. It was the same for the opposite sex. It was very common for women to take the initiative to strike up a conversation with men. Lu An did not refuse or agree. Instead, he continued to play with the stones in his hand.
Wang Wei sat down on another rock and looked at Lu An. She asked, "Three days have passed. How do you feel?"
"Boring," Lu An said. "I didn't discover anything."
Discovery was not only to complete the mission but also to satisfy one's curiosity. This was the mentality of many people who carried out special missions. Because of this, Wang Wei was not surprised by Lu An's answer. She said, "There are always very few discoveries."
Lu An's expression was slightly hesitant, but he still asked, "Have you found any strange phenomena before?"
Wang Wei was stunned when she heard this. This kind of question was crossing the line. People who were carrying out missions should not ask questions that were unrelated to the mission. However, in Wang Wei's opinion, it was normal for Lu An to ask such a question. Han Qing and Chen Wenyuan had also asked such questions before, so it was normal for them to do so.
"Yes," Wang Wei said.
Lu An's heart skipped a beat. A curious expression appeared on his face as he asked, "What strange phenomena?"
Wang Wei thought for a while and said, "Actually, it's not a secret. So far, I've only encountered two stone tablets and a huge rock."
Stone tablet?
Huge rock?
Lu An frowned slightly and asked, "What's that?"
"I can't tell you," Wang Wei said. "We just found it, but it was taken away by Fourth Young Master. I can't understand the words on the stone tablet, and the huge rock is very big. No one can understand the secret behind it for the time being. Our mission is only to find the item. Don't think about things that we shouldn't think about. Otherwise, we will be killed. "
Killed?
Lu An frowned even more and asked, "Has anyone been killed because they asked too many questions?"
"I don't know," Wang Wei shrugged and said, "But some have gone missing. As for whether they are dead or alive, who can say for sure?"
Lu An nodded slightly and did not ask any more questions.
"Since you've asked so many questions, it's my turn to ask you." Wang Wei looked at Lu An and asked, "I heard that you live alone?"
"Yes," Lu An said.
"Don't you find it boring?" Wang Wei asked again.
"I'm used to it. It's noisy when there are too many people," Lu An said.
"Is that so?" Wang Wei smiled and said, "I admire people like you. If I live like you, I'm afraid I'll go crazy in a month."
Lu An nodded slightly but did not speak. He did not know why this woman suddenly came to talk to him. Moreover, when they first met, this woman's attitude towards him was very cold. It was not like this.
It was so abnormal that Lu An could not help but be vigilant.
Wang Wei did not pay much attention to Lu An's silence. After a while, she asked, "I heard that you have a feud with Jiang Xin?"
Lu An looked at Wang Wei when he heard this and said, "Yes."
"She's not to be trifled with," Wang Wei said. "And with her personality, even if Fourth Young Master comes forward, he won't let you off."
