Chapter 1229: Chapter 1215: Rocky Planet
Baiyu observed these special insects for a while.
He took a deep breath and named these insects "stone-segmented insects," because their appearance resembled segments of stone.
Quite descriptive.
On the bed beside him, the pirate’s breathing gradually stabilized, averting the initial danger of death.
Baiyu carefully placed the bodies of the stone-segmented insects in a box, returned to the ship, opened his diary, and began recording information about these insects.
Although proper people never keep diaries.
Baiyu habitually recorded the information of these extraordinary creatures, a practice he developed during his student days.
Such records.
Would continuously enhance his knowledge of Extraordinary Biology.
And the knowledge grew.
Faster than usual.
Baiyu took a deep breath, writing swiftly in his notebook when suddenly, with a loud bang, the entire starship violently shook.
His pupils contracted, and he reflexively stood up.
The starship shouldn’t experience such violent shaking, as no external protective layer was damaged, which would normally prevent any shaking.
Yet.
The current shaking was extremely intense.
Clearly indicating a problem with the starship, plunging it into crisis.
Beep beep.
The alarm sounded relentlessly.
Baiyu frowned and rushed out the room door without hesitation, relying on his memory to run towards the starship’s deck corridor.
As long as he reached the deck.
In the event the starship’s shield shatters, he could immediately leave.
However.
Given the oxygen-less starry sky, descending to the surface posed another problem.
He remembered that the place where the Demon Puppet Pirate Gang docked should be in this planet’s near orbit.
From the near orbit to the planet’s proximity.
It was a long distance, seeming endless to a human.
Yet.
Under these circumstances, Baiyu had few choices, uncertain about the cause of the starship’s shaking; escaping was his sole option for now.
Otherwise.
If the starship exploded, he would become fireworks in the sky alongside the exploding flames.
Even a Saint.
Couldn’t withstand the energy shock from a starship’s explosion.
Baiyu swiftly exited the corridor, forcibly dismantling the starship door leading to the deck, proceeding to the deck.
The pitch-black star river quietly shines within the universe.
Baiyu glanced around.
The shield outside the deck had broken, directly connecting the deck with the universe, akin to being in space without atmospheric protection.
Baiyu already felt the pressure from the vacuum environment on his body.
The reason changes hadn’t occurred.
Was due to his strong physique and robust Blood Qi supporting his current state.
But.
This situation wasn’t sustainable.
Leaning against the deck’s edge, Baiyu turned his head and saw a giant insect waving its forelimbs towards the starship.
It resembled a giant crab.
Unlike a crab, its forelimbs were more like two enormous hammers rather than pincers.
The creature’s size far surpassed the starship, making the massive starship appear as a child standing before an adult.
Baiyu took a deep breath.
Observing the giant insect’s body covered with stone-like armor, he realized it was certainly related to those insects.
Possibly of the same species.
Despite the difference in size and appearance, both shared unique stone composition.
Baiyu didn’t hastily attack the giant insect.
The opponent’s target was the Black Shark.
Not himself for the moment.
He didn’t want to attract the attention of such a colossal creature and be smashed to death with two hammer blows.
Glancing at the blue expanses below.
Baiyu took a deep breath and leaped, heading straight down.
Honestly.
He previously thought his body could withstand the combination of gravity, atmospheric friction, and an oxygen-deprived state during high-speed movement.
But now realized.
He was overly optimistic.
Under such conditions, his skin turned fiery red and hot, as if covered in lava, releasing heat inside and out.
Faced with this.
Within seconds, Baiyu had to burn his Blood Qi to counteract the falling speed and atmospheric friction.
This planet’s atmosphere.
Was much thicker than that of Canglan Star.
Baiyu continually burned Blood Qi to unleash substantial power, resisting the natural force.
Eventually.
After his clothes were largely worn out by friction, Baiyu finally landed on the ground.
Upon setting foot on ground.
He took a deep breath and looked around.
Finding no vegetation, nor any green plants.
Neither trees nor grass existed.
At a glance.
Only charred soil and yellowed rocks could be seen.
Bare mountains loomed one after another, and signs of volcanic eruptions were evident in the distance, indicating the planet still in a geologically active phase.
Apart from erupting volcanoes and gradually forming oceans.
There was essentially nothing else.
At that moment.
Debris rained down from the sky, much of it vanished entirely due to atmospheric friction, but large pieces still landed.
Baiyu could recognize.
These were remnants of the Black Shark.
If he hadn’t escaped earlier, among the debris falling down now, would be his ashes...
Knowing the Black Shark was destroyed and the return path to orbit was blocked, Baiyu had to continue moving forward.
After advancing a distance, he discovered.
The planet was not only composed of volcanoes and lava; there was also a... special creature.
The same type of insect he had seen before!
These insects were everywhere.
In the lava, on the ground, in the rocks.
It seemed there was nowhere they couldn’t survive.
Baiyu cautiously avoided these insects, choosing not to make contact; the situation of that crew member earlier was witnessed, possibly caused by these insects.
Progressing onward.
The landscapes Baiyu saw held only dead silence.
This was indeed the norm for a primitive planet, unlike the cultivated primitive planet Lilith and the others occupied—clearly handpicked by the City Lord—with a fully developed ecological environment.
However.
As he continued exploring the planet.
An extensive sea of lava blocked his path.
An ocean of flowing lava, bubbling with scalding bubbles.
Just as Baiyu intended to advance.
The lava sea suddenly stirred, and a huge stone dragon emerged from the sea.
It freely swam in the ocean.
Baiyu narrowed his eyes, observing the stone dragon, realizing it showed no signs of life.
