Chapter 156 Heavenly Water Secret Realm
Taking advantage of the chaos caused by the Soul-Devouring Insects, Gu Shihan took a deep breath and used the lightness skill she had learned in the mortal realm. Her figure rose and fell like a ghost, and in the blink of an eye, she landed steadily on a special rock.

This rock stands out conspicuously against the red and yellow background of the entire valley, as it is the only rock in the area that presents a different color.

What's even more astonishing is that within a radius of about three meters around this massive rock, not even a tiny Soul-Devouring Insect could be found. Keep in mind, this is a place teeming with Soul-Devouring Insects!

Gu Shihan put Xingbai down from her arms and asked with a puzzled look, "Xingbai, take a closer look at this stone. Do you notice anything unusual? Those troublesome spirit-devouring insects seem to be filled with fear of it."

Xingbai's bright little eyes darted around, and she exclaimed excitedly, "Oh my, Hanhan, this is no ordinary stone! This is an extremely precious and rare Spirit-Destroying Stone! For the Spirit-Destroying Insects, this is simply the thing they hate and fear the most. No other item can compare to it! Spirit-Destroying Insect Stones are such rare treasures that they are as rare as phoenix feathers in the entire Spirit Realm."

"It would be wonderful if we could get a few pieces and put them in our personal storage space; they might come in very handy someday!"

Upon hearing Xingbai's words, Gu Shihan's eyes lit up, and a smile appeared on her lips as she said happily, "Hehe, since that's the case, how can we leave empty-handed after we've had the good fortune to encounter such a wonderful thing?" Before she finished speaking, she seemed to have forgotten that she was in a dangerous situation at the moment.

And so, the man and the fox excitedly began their work of striking the enormous Spirit Stone with great enthusiasm.

This Spirit Stone is truly enormous; a rough estimate puts its diameter at over two meters. Such a large Spirit Stone is indeed extremely rare.

After some effort, Gu Shihan successfully knocked down more than thirty Spirit Stones, each about the size of a palm, and happily pocketed them one by one.

Just as she was preparing to make a few more pieces, an unexpected turn of events occurred without warning.

The two men, who were engrossed in their work and hammering away, suddenly felt a powerful force surging up from beneath their feet without warning.

This force was extremely fierce, instantly causing them to lose their balance, as if the whole world had turned upside down.

With a violent tremor of the ground, the two felt dizzy and disoriented, then plummeted rapidly downwards into the bottomless abyss like kites with broken strings.
"Ah~~!" Gu Shihan felt a sudden pang of fear, unable to suppress her inner terror, and involuntarily let out a shrill scream.

Just as the screams had faded, a dull thud rang out, and she fell heavily to the ground, landing face-first.

"It hurts! Xingbai! Xingbai!" Gu Shihan ignored the waves of pain coming from her body, her only concern was for her companion's safety, and she shouted anxiously.

After a long while, a very faint response finally came from Gu Shihan's right side: "Hanhan, I'm here!"

Hearing that familiar voice, Gu Shihan felt relieved, but when she saw Xingbai's current condition, her heart jumped into her throat again.

Xingbai's body was being pressed down by a huge rock, and that rock was none other than the Spirit Stone that they had just painstakingly knocked down. Xingbai really is a little money-grubber!

Due to the heavy pressure, Xingbai looked like it had suffered a considerable impact, but it seemed to be in pretty good condition, even though its fox fur was all dirty.

Despite the pain in her body, Gu Shihan quickly got up from the ground.

Fortunately, aside from some scrapes and bruises, she was not seriously injured.

Without a moment's hesitation, she rushed to Xingbai's side and moved the stone that was pressing on Xingbai. Gu Shihan carefully picked up the injured Xingbai, "Xingbai, it seems there's no danger here, go back to your space to heal!"

Without hesitation, he waved his hand and sent Xingbai into the mysterious space he carried with him.

At the same time, the large piece of the Spirit-Slaying Stone was also swept up in it.

Gu Shihan took a deep breath before slowly opening her eyes and carefully looking around.

Her eyes gleamed slightly, and she was secretly surprised: There was such abundant spiritual energy here?! In an instant, joy welled up in her heart, and she couldn't help but show it on her face.

Gu Shihan composed herself and cautiously surveyed her surroundings.

All around was quiet, with only the occasional rustling of leaves in the breeze. It seemed there was no obvious danger lurking nearby.

Just then, a clear and melodious voice came from within the space: "Sister, I want to come out!"

It turned out that Yu Tong couldn't contain herself and wanted to come out and find out what was going on.

Gu Shihan smiled slightly and replied softly, "Okay!"

As soon as the words were spoken, a red figure leaped gracefully out of the space.

Dressed in a vibrant red gown, Yu Tong resembled a blooming flower, delicate and adorable. She blinked her large eyes, curiously looking around, sensing the rich spiritual energy, and excitedly exclaimed, "Sister, what is this place? The spiritual energy here is so abundant, and the air is so fresh, it makes me feel incredibly comfortable!"

Gu Shihan nodded, her gaze falling on the slightly bulky fur robe she was wearing. She frowned slightly and said, "Okay, Yutong, I'll go change my clothes first. Could you please keep an eye out for any noise around us?" With that, she turned and walked to the side to find a suitable place to change.

When Gu Shihan changed her clothes and returned to the original spot, the two exchanged a smile and then began to explore this mysterious place together.

They walked carefully, each step taken with extreme caution.

Along the way, the two walked and observed their surroundings, stopping from time to time to study some strange plants and stones.

Persistence pays off, and it wasn't long before they made a discovery.

First, they found several ancient and high-quality medicinal herbs, which emitted a charming medicinal fragrance and were quite old; then, they unexpectedly found several pieces of brightly colored and hard minerals.

Overjoyed by these achievements, Gu Shihan and Yu Tong eagerly anticipated what surprises awaited them next.
