Chapter 405: Seven Luminaries Planet, Another New Card
Boom!
Sound of running came from behind the cliff.
Coupled together were strange roars of excitement.
The two sounds were getting closer.
“There’s movement!”
Nian Shuang’s ears twitched at the right time. She called out to Nian Ling’er, “Let’s go!”
Swish!
Nian Shuang leaped towards the back of the cliff.
“Ah, oh, oh. Brother Kong Xuan, let’s go together.”
Nian Ling’er followed and invited Su Jingxing along.
“Alright.”
Su Jingxing thought for a moment and decided to make a trip with them.
If he wanted to return to Earth Star, he could not do without the planet location device. The Essence Soul was too far away from breaking through to the Life Void Realm. He had to obtain the planet location device first.
Of course, if he followed the sisters to the Heart Moon Fox race, they might not necessarily be willing to give him the planet location device.
The reason why Su Jingxing was heading there was because he had nowhere to go for the time being. Therefore, making a trip to the Heart Moon Fox race wouldn’t delay anything.
…
Swish! Swish! Swish!
His figure flashed as he moved quickly.
Nian Shuang, Nian Ling’er, and Su Jingxing left the cliff one after another and climbed over a mountain.
Then, they each climbed a fiery red giant tree that was hundreds of meters tall and looked at the wilderness in front of the mountain. More than ten strange people who were more than three meters tall surrounded a grayish-brown monster that was ten meters long, resembled a rat, but had no tail. It had a row of sharp horns on its head, and incomparably sharp claws on its limbs.
“Roar! Roar! Roar!”
The strange people held stone spears and attacked the rat-like monster from time to time.
The latter charged left and right, its sharp claws stirring up claw winds, leaving claw marks on the ground.
The stone spears were also very powerful. Every time they shot out from the strange people’s hands, they produced sonic booms.
However, the monster’s skin and hair was extremely tough. Even when it was brushed by the stone spears, it was not pierced through. It only left a mark, and the body was pushed back or turned over.
On the other hand, once the monster’s claws struck a strange person, the person would be sent flying. His body would either shatter into pieces or be covered in cracks like rocks.
That’s right, these strange people had strange bodies. Half of their bodies were flesh, and the other half were rock!
If the rock part was struck by the monster, they would naturally not die.
However, the composition of these strange bodies was different.
Some had stone for their upper bodies, flesh for their lower bodies, and the other way round for some. Some had stone heads, flesh for their chests, or flesh for their arms and stone everywhere else.
There was no pattern to the composition of flesh and stones.
As a result, there were many casualties during the encirclement and suppression of the monster.
While Su Jingxing, Nian Ling’er, and Nian Shuang were watching, three more strange people died. Su Jingxing extracted three more cards.
Standing in the foliage, Su Jingxing looked out as he took out four cards and held them in his hand to read the information.
Soul Separation Card!
The four cards were all Soul Separation Cards.
And unlocking the Soul Separation Card would give a pill called the Spirit Gathering Pill.
The function of the Spirit Gathering Pill was to nurture soul power and strengthen the soul.
In essence, it was similar to the Heaven Essence Pill, but its effects were several grades inferior.
Su Jingxing unlocked a card and quietly swallowed one to feel the effect.
He did some mental calculations. The effects of 10 to 15 Spirit Gathering Pills were equivalent to that of one Heaven Essence Pill.
Su Jingxing unlocked the remaining three Soul Separation Cards and obtained four Spirit Gathering Pills.
Clearly, the number of pills obtained from unlocking a Soul Separation Card varied.
Su Jingxing swallowed all four of them to nourish his Essence Soul.
Just as he was feeling them, in the wilderness, the half-human and half-stone strange people and the rat-like monster ended their fight.
Two stone spears pierced through the monster’s ears and into its head, successfully killing it.

“Roar! Roar! Roar!”
The remaining strange people surrounded the monster’s corpse and cheered excitedly.
As they shouted, half of them picked up their companions’ corpses, chopped off their heads, and dug out their hearts. The rest of the bodies were buried on the spot.
Half of them surrounded the monster’s corpse and began a savage dissection.
Su Jingxing looked into the distance without blinking. He saw them starting from the neck of the monster. They dismembered the corpse, skinned it, and removed the bones. With a stone knife, they cut off large pieces of white meat tissue, collected them, and placed them in beast skin bags.
All the flesh tissue in the rat-like monster’s body was cut off and taken away.
Finally, they dug out a fist-sized gray crystal that was glowing green.
Seeing this grayish-green crystal, all the strange people shouted excitedly. They jumped for a while before packing up and leaving.
“Rock Core Beast, this big rat is a Rock Core Beast!”
When all the strange people disappeared into the far end and their figures could no longer be seen, Nian Ling’er crawled out from the dense foliage and stood in the air. She looked at the corpse of the rat-like monster that had been dismembered into pieces in the wilderness in front of the mountain and shouted happily, “In the atlas left behind by Grandpa, there was lots of information about strange lifeforms. This big rat is called the Rock Core Beast. It feeds on soil and rocks. And those strange people just now were from the Rock race. Of course, they aren’t real members of the Rock race yet. The bodies of real Rock race are entirely rock!”
“Rock Golems?”
Su Jingxing quietly took out the card he had extracted and held it in his palm to read the information.
Petrification Card!
After the Stone Core Beast died, a Petrification Card was extracted.
As the name suggested, the Petrification Card could turn Su Jingxing entirely into rock once unlocked.
Flesh, bones, tendons, internal organs, and brain, except for the soul, would all become petrified, like real rock.
Of course, this state could only last for five minutes.
However, within these five minutes, the defense would be incomparably powerful. Just like the Rock Core Beast, when the stone spears shot at it with sonic boom, they only left white marks on its body. The reason why the Rock race could kill it was because they targeted its weakness. They pierced through its ears before killing it.
Therefore, this Petrification Card was very good.
Su Jingxing accepted it in satisfaction as a backup.
…
“That’s right. There are as many as a dozen similar strange lifeforms on the Seven Luminaries Planet.”
Nian Ling’er smacked her lips and looked at the sun in the sky.
“Seven Luminaries Planet?”
Su Jingxing’s eyes lit up when he heard the keywords. “You said that this planet is called the Seven Luminaries Planet? Not just four suns? But seven?”
“Yeah.”
Nian Ling’er replied subconsciously, “Most of the information here is recorded in the materials Grandpa left behind about the Seven Luminaries Planet.”
“For example, there are as many as seven suns here, and every one of them is the same size. However, seven suns combined are not as big as one moon!
“…”
All the information about astronomy on Earth Star can’t be applied here at all.
The moon is actually bigger than the sun. Where does the moon’s light come from?
“Found it!”
As his thoughts were overturned, Nian Ling’er suddenly shouted in surprise, “That sun is the Sun of Life. According to the information left behind by Grandpa, the Yuedang Mountain we’re going to is northwest of the Sun of Life!”
“Let’s go!”
Nian Shuang appeared and called for Nian Ling’er to fly northwest.
“Alright,” Nian Ling’er replied and followed behind. “Brother Kong Xuan, let’s go home!”
“…Just call me Kong Xuan.” Su Jingxing coughed lightly and quickly followed.
“Why?” Nian Ling’er asked as they traveled. “You clearly look older than me.”
Su Jingxing opened his mouth but did not expose himself. “…Alright, as you wish.”
Yu Xiangtian had seen Nian Shuang and Nian Ling’er 150 years ago.
Only the heavens knew how old these sisters were.
Devils had a longer lifespan than humans to begin with.
Even though Nian Shuang and Nian Ling’er were only half-devils, their lifespans were not something that humans could compare to.
…
Swish! Swish! Swish!
A human and two half-devils shuttled quickly through the forest and wilderness, heading northwest.
The Sun of Life that Nian Ling’er mentioned was the sun that shone brightly and was filled with vitality.
The reason why they did not travel through space was because Nian Shuang and Nian Ling’er’s grandfather had left behind records that many places on the Seven Luminaries Planet were occupied by powerful existences.
These powerful existences valued their territory very much.
Forcefully crossing space pass them without informing them was equivalent to provoking them. It was very easy to trigger a huge battle.
For this reason, it was best to fly at a low altitude while traveling on the Seven Luminaries Planet.
Nian Shuang and Nian Ling’er naturally followed suit.
When Su Jingxing followed them through a pile of rocks——
