"Damn it!"
Fang Er, a few seconds slower than Xi Tong in jumping down, heard Xi Tong's roar before he could clearly see the situation below.
This made his heart tighten.
But the next moment, he understood why!
He had actually fallen out of the passage!
That's right, he had fallen out!
Not only that, but he was also floating in a void...
Inside Kunlun Star, there was actually a void. This was simply incredible!
At this moment, Xi Tong was floating not far from him. It was worth noting that there was no Dragon Scale Sword under their feet. The reason they could float was entirely due to the environment here!
"Whoosh..."
Something seemed to fly past him, and Fang Er subconsciously reached out to grab it.
It was shiny and turned out to be a piece of crystal!
Using the light, he observed everything around him. This void seemed bottomless, and there was nothing that emitted light.
"Come in!"
Helpless, Fang Er took out a spore-class spaceship and beckoned to Xi Tong.
After both of them entered the spaceship and turned on the searchlights, they both gasped.
"Holy crap!"
"Holy crap!"
Countless crystals floated in this void, shining like stars in the night sky under the illumination of the lights, innumerable.
Controlling the spaceship and scouting the surroundings, it took them a long time to find the passage they had fallen from.
Using the passage as a reference, they were barely able to determine the direction of the core of the planet.
It was only after they piloted the spaceship through this void that they were shocked to discover that this void actually spanned a terrifying two thousand kilometers!
Stepping onto solid ground again, both of them felt as if they were dreaming.
If they hadn't experienced it personally, they would never have believed that such a massive planet as Kunlun Star was actually a ring structure!
And their current location was surrounded by dense, unidentifiable vegetation!
In an environment with no light, these plants were completely unaffected, which was incredible!
"Let's collect some samples first and find someone to study them when we get back."
Fang Er instructed Xi Tong as he looked back, and then they began to split up.
Large amounts of vegetation, along with the soil at their roots, were dug up and thrown into the spatial warehouse.
They stopped digging only when they felt they had enough.
On the surface, the Yanhuang tribe soldiers were still digging three feet deep, searching for them, never expecting that the two of them were already ten thousand kilometers underground.
With no one disturbing them, and separated from the surface layer above by the void, the two of them worked without any reservations this time.
To prevent any accidents while digging, they took out all the modified ion cannons they had brought from the system space, placed one every thousand kilometers, and started them all simultaneously.
After doing this, they dug another large pit and buried the spore-class spaceship inside. They hid in it, coming out periodically to check on the progress of the digging.
Day after day, time passed quickly.
More than a month later, the first passage leading to the planet's core was successfully opened.
After collecting all the equipment, the two stood at the entrance of the hole, both with expectant expressions on their faces.
"Go!"
Fang Er shouted, pulled Xi Tong, and leaped into the hole.
Unlike the void above, within the passage, as they got closer to the planet's core, the gravity increased, and even the Dragon Scale Sword lost its effect here.
To ensure they wouldn't fall to their deaths, the two had to change into their mechs and use the thrusters on their mechs to slow down their descent.
Two hours later, their eyes brightened.
They once again emerged from the passage into a void!
However, this void was no longer dark!
It was filled with light!
This void was about a thousand meters in diameter, and in the center of the void, two massive spheres rotated slowly, with each other as the center.
And the light here came from these two spheres!
"Is this the stellar core?"
Fang Er stood in place, muttering to himself, his face already flushed.
Excitement, anticipation, eagerness...
At this moment, a hundred thoughts surged into his mind.
"It should be!"
Xi Tong nodded.
The two spheres in front of them had a limited diameter, and with her keen eyesight, she could estimate their size with a single glance.
Ninety-nine meters in diameter!
Not a bit off!
The only thing left to do was to identify which one was the stellar core from Earth.
"Let's go take a look!"
Fang Er's restless heart could no longer be contained. He didn't even pull Xi Tong along, but single-handedly piloted his mech and rushed over.
The thousand-meter void flashed by.
Just as he was about to touch one of the spheres, a giant force appeared out of nowhere and threw him flying!
"Bang!"
The mech flew out of one side of the void and smashed into the rock on the other side.
The mech was twisted and deformed by the impact, and Fang Er inside felt like his body had fallen apart. He spurted a mouthful of blood on the spot.
"Big trouble!"
Seeing this, Xi Tong cried out in alarm and rushed over to check.
Straining, she pulled him out of the mech. Seeing Fang Er's condition, her small face instantly turned extremely pale.
"You, you, how did you become like this?!"
Fang Er forced a smile with difficulty. "Cough! Cough! It's... it's nothing..."
But he didn't know his current situation!
The skin and flesh injuries were nothing. The few bone fractures could also be ignored.
What was important was that his once handsome and dashing appearance had completely changed in just this moment!
He looked like an old man past sixty!
His short, black hair had turned into a head of white!
And the skin on his body was visibly shrinking at an alarming rate!
"Stop talking, I'll take you back!"
"What stellar core is this, we don't want it anymore!"
Xi Tong, tears streaming down her face, pulled him into her arms, her heart aching as if cut by a knife.
"No, we can't go back!"
Fang Er tried to struggle out of her embrace, but he couldn't muster any strength...
And as soon as he finished speaking, he coughed out another mouthful of blood.
"What do you mean 'what do you want'? If you try that again, you'll die here!"
"It doesn't matter if I die, we must bring the stellar core back!"
"Pfft!"
Another mouthful of blood spurted out.
Xi Tong dared not argue with him anymore. She gently put him down and quickly rummaged through her spatial warehouse.
Ginseng, deer antler, ageless grass...
Goji berries, lingzhi mushrooms, epimedium...
All sorts of qi and blood-tonifying substances were ground into powder, mixed with water, and poured into Fang Er's mouth.
"Darlang, hurry, take the medicine!"
