"The Valley of Dead Souls can be called one of the three most dangerous places in this secret realm. It is no less terrifying than the Nine Dragon Gods Burial Array … The reason for this is that a stone man was born in the Valley of Dead Souls!"
Seeing that Qin Fang had calmed down, the Giant Star Beast began to explain.
"Stone man?"
Hearing this name, Qin Fang was slightly stunned. His face was full of surprise and bewilderment. "The legendary … Holy Spirit of the Stone?
Does such a thing really exist? "
Qin Fang had read about the stone man in some incomplete ancient books.
However, those records were vague and didn't describe it in detail. They only vaguely mentioned that the creature born in the stone was a natural Holy Spirit. Its strength was extremely tyrannical, even comparable to the gods!
When Qin Fang first saw this, he only thought of it as a legend. He never thought that such a stone man really existed … Otherwise, he would definitely think that Sun Wukong was real, and not a mythical character made up by Wu Chengen!
However, the Giant Star Beast's words deeply shocked Qin Fang. He even felt that his understanding of the world had been shattered!
"Of course!"
The Giant Star Beast didn't care about Qin Fang's reaction. It expressed its certainty.
"One look and I can tell that you came from a small place … This universe is very big, so big that you can't imagine it!
In this vast universe, there are all kinds of strange creatures. The stone man is just one of them! "
The Giant Star Beast even mocked Qin Fang for being a country bumpkin. "Since you've heard of it, it naturally exists. Otherwise, where would you get this information from?"
However, it wasn't an exaggeration to say that the earth was a remote and desolate place due to the lack of spiritual energy.
Compared to the dwarfs, the humans on earth were on a completely different level … If the dwarfs still existed, any one of them, even if they were just a child, could defeat half of the earth!
Not to mention those extremely powerful dwarfs. Martial Emperors were the basic combat power. Almost all of them were Martial Saints when they reached their peak. It was easy for them to cross Star Fields.
Earthlings were completely incomparable …
Of course, this was a digression. Qin Fang's focus was still on the Holy Spirit of the Stone.
"Stone men are born from natural stones. They have absorbed millions of years' worth of Spiritual Qi before they split apart … However, this process is too long, and accidents often occur, causing the stone men to split apart prematurely. Naturally, they are unable to evolve to their most perfect state!"
"Therefore, some of the stone men tried to make up for their shortcomings and defects …"
"That's how the Valley of Dead Souls came about …"
The Giant Beast of Starry Sky told him everything it knew. Qin Fang felt his whole body convulse. He got goosebumps all over his body. He felt a chill in the air around him.
Thinking back to what he had seen in the Death Soul Valley and the countless corpses, all of which had been caused by the stone man, it could be seen how terrifying the stone man's killing intent was … Millions of corpses and rivers of blood, this was definitely not a joke!
Among the corpses, there were countless Martial Emperors and Supreme Spirit Beasts. There were even some corpses of powerhouses who had leveled up … Such a force gathered together was absolutely terrifying. It was likely that the Dwarf Clan would not have dared to provoke them at their peak.
Even so, they had all become sacrifices for the Holy Spirit of the Stone … In order to repair its flaws and evolve to perfection, they had sacrificed their lives!
Then, how powerful was the Holy Spirit of the Stone?
Even the Giant Beast of Starry Sky at its peak wouldn't be its match … Then, the legendary Holy Spirit of the Stone was comparable to a god. It wasn't a joke at all, nor was it fiction. It might be real!
This also made Qin Fang's mood, which had already sunk to the bottom, fall into the abyss. It seemed that there was no hope at all. It was directly killed by the Giant Beast of Starry Sky's words!
"Wait …"
However, just as Qin Fang was pondering whether to give up on this treasure-hunting trip, he suddenly remembered a very important detail …
Before the dwarfs were exterminated, they had transferred all their treasures from the secret place to the treasury. They also had to pass through dangerous places like the Valley of Dead Souls and the Thunder Valley. No matter how powerful they were, it seemed that it would be difficult for them to escape the clutches of the Holy Spirit of the Stone!
Unless …
"That stone man is still in the Valley of Dead Souls?"
Qin Fang immediately asked cautiously.
"Of course … I don't know!"
The Giant Beast of Starry Sky took a deep breath and then gave an answer that made Qin Fang want to hammer it to death.
"You don't know???"
Qin Fang really wanted to strangle the Giant Beast of Starry Sky. However, after thinking about it, he gave up this idea because he couldn't bear to do it … Of course, the more important reason was that he couldn't do it at all.
"How would I know?"
The Giant Beast of Starry Sky said nonchalantly, "I heard this news a long time ago. After that, I've been living in that endless void for countless years. How would I know what happened outside?"
"Even the news of the dwarfs being exterminated was brought to me by you …"
It said this confidently. It had been trapped in that endless void for too long and was very inaccessible to information. It was already considered good that it knew about the Valley of Dead Souls.
As for more important information, the Giant Beast of Starry Sky knew nothing about it. Moreover, the dwarfs would definitely not casually reveal such important information. They would rather hide it from the public!
"However, according to my estimation … that stone man has already left this place!"
However, the Giant Beast of Starry Sky expressed its opinion immediately.
"I even suspect that the dwarfs were able to come here because the stone man left a crack in the void when he broke through it and left. This gave the dwarfs an opportunity to take advantage of it!"
Of course, this was only the Giant Beast of Starry Sky's own guess.
"That's very possible …"
Although the Giant Beast of Starry Sky's guess did not have much basis, Qin Fang felt that it was very reliable. If such a tyrannical Holy Spirit of the Stone was still in this secret realm, the dwarfs' extermination battle might not have been so tragic.
Why did they have to lure that evil star into the Nine Dragons Gods Burial Array?
They could have just lured the Holy Spirit of the Stone out …
Not only would the Dwarf Race be completely annihilated, even their souls would not be left behind. It would be absolutely cleaned up, not leaving a single trace behind. If it was done well, it could even save the lives of many Dwarves and preserve a large part of their strength!
However, the truth was not like that …
The Dwarf Clan hid all their treasures in their treasury, and then the entire clan was annihilated!
"The Holy Spirit of the Stone should really not be in the Valley of Dead Souls …"
After thinking carefully, Qin Fang could basically confirm that his guess was 99% correct.
However, there was still another problem in front of Qin Fang. "But even without the existence of the Holy Spirit of the Stone, I can still go through the Valley of Dead Souls with the corpses of Supreme Spiritual Beasts and Martial Saints …"
There might be more than a hundred Martial Emperors and Supreme Spiritual Beasts, and at least a few Martial Saints' corpses … This was only Qin Fang's guess based on what he saw at the entrance of the valley. After all, the Valley of Dead Souls was not small and could accommodate so many tyrannical existences.
A Martial Emperor could easily kill Qin Fang, let alone a Martial Saint …
Even if they had already lost their souls and were not at the peak of their strength, their physical strength alone was enough to kill Qin Fang hundreds or thousands of times. They were not something that Qin Fang could contend against.
Thinking of this, Qin Fang's gaze subconsciously shifted to the Giant Starry Sky Beast.
"I say, why don't … you help me go in and explore?"
Qin Fang said with a smirk.
"Dream on!"
Unfortunately, the Giant Starry Sky Beast did not give him face and mocked him.
The relationship between the Giant Starry Sky Beast and Qin Fang was not a simple soul slave relationship. It was more of an equal contract. Both parties were equal in status, so Qin Fang's orders would be greatly reduced.
If the Giant Starry Sky Beast was willing, it would definitely take the initiative to help.
However, if the Giant Starry Sky Beast was not willing, Qin Fang could not force it to do anything …
Obviously, the Giant Starry Sky Beast was not willing to be a guinea pig … If its strength was still at the peak of its strength, it could still go in and explore, and there would not be too much danger.
However, its strength had dropped by a lot, and it only had the strength of a half-step Supreme Spiritual Beast. If it entered the Death Soul Valley, it would be like throwing a meat bun to a dog, and it would not be able to return … No matter how strong its physical defense was, it would not be able to withstand the siege of a large number of experts' corpses!
"Actually, you are giving up what is close at hand to seek what is far away …"
The rejection was very straightforward, and it hurt Qin Fang. However, the Giant Starry Sky Beast soon said calmly, "If I am not wrong, you should be carrying the Purple Jade Dust Magic Stone … That thing has a strong restraining and suppressing effect on the undead creatures. With it, you will be able to pass through the Death Soul Valley safely!
The premise is that … you will not be killed by the spirits in the Death Soul Valley! "
"Purple Jade Dust Magic Stone?
What is that? "
Hearing this awkward name, Qin Fang was also confused. He didn't have such a thing in his memory!
Although Qin Fang had collected a lot of rare materials, such as some rare meteorites and so on, the one mentioned by the Giant Starry Sky Beast was obviously not included. Even Qin Fang himself had only heard of this name for the first time.
If it was in his hands, Qin Fang would not have been able to detect it …
"If I say it is in your hands, then it is in your hands. Perhaps it is because this thing is too high-end, so even if you have it in your hands, you will not be able to recognize it!"
The Giant Starry Sky Beast did not give him any face and mocked him!
