Star Farming, the eldest lady relies on alchemy to counterattack

Chapter 246 Black Fault Space
"In the early stages, we need to explore the patterns of the Dark Forest. We must not be greedy for quick success and act rashly. If we find any abnormalities, we must return immediately. Safety is the top priority. Do you all remember that?" Although there are indeed many dangers on the new planet, Ning Xuan hopes that everyone can return safely.

"Min Wu, you stay in the middle. If there is any danger, lead them back immediately," Ning Xuan instructed Min Wu.

“Yes, Miss Ning,” Min Wu replied politely.

Di Youlin, Zhang Nan, and Min Wu entered the forest area together. The three of them wore night vision goggles. After entering the dark area, they found that the night vision goggles automatically adjusted their state, changing several modes, and finally adjusted to a level where they could barely see the scene in the forest.

Although I could barely see some things, it was still mostly dark.

Looking at the perfectly straight trees in front of him, Di Youlin felt that something was not quite right. The trunks of each tree were about the same thickness, and the trees were growing too uniformly. Even the direction of each branch seemed to follow a certain pattern.

Di Youlin tapped the sensor area on the side of the night vision goggles three times with his fingertip, and a pale blue energy pattern immediately appeared on the surface of the lenses. After energy calculation, these trees were confirmed to be real plants.

Di Youlin reached out and touched it; it was indeed hard wood. The tree was too tall, so he spread his wings and flew upwards. Although he could feel a force resisting him, trying its best to suppress his flight, Di Youlin was strong enough to break through the suppression and fly to the top of the tree.

Di Youlin tried to uproot the tree, but failed several times. Finally, he broke off a branch with leaves on it, which fell to the ground.

"Young Master Di, are these trees real?" Zhang Nan asked nervously when he saw Di Youlin break off a branch.

“It’s true. Let’s go, let’s keep going.” Di Youlin said to the other two.

The three continued walking forward. About ten minutes later, Zhang Nan's companion spirit, the golden hamster, suddenly squeaked. The tree trunk closest to Zhang Nan suddenly cracked open with a vertical pupil-shaped slit, spewing out blue-purple mist.

Caught off guard, Zhang Nan was hit squarely by the blue-purple mist. Enveloped in the mist, Zhang Nan's face quickly turned blue-purple, and blue-purple mist also appeared around the squeaking golden hamster.

At the same time, other trees also began to spray this mist.

"What's wrong, Zhang Nan?" Min Wu asked anxiously, while avoiding the area in front of the trees.

Zhang Nan clutched his head and howled, but no sound came out. His face was contorted in agony, as if he were enduring immense pain.

Di Youlin pulled Zhang Nan back, away from the area in front of the tree trunk, took out an antidote from his pocket, pried open Zhang Nan's mouth, and poured it down his throat.

"Young Master Di, it's no longer safe here. Since Zhang Nan has been poisoned, let's go back first," Min Wu suggested anxiously. He was also feeling a little dizzy, perhaps due to his own mind.

“We’re not far from where the accident happened. I’ll walk a little further and take a look. You take him back first,” Di Youlin said.

"That won't do. We should go together. What if you encounter danger if I leave? Let's go quickly," Min Wu said disapprovingly.

"Without you dragging me down, I wouldn't be in danger," Di Youlin said with a hint of arrogance, glancing back at them.

The squeaks of the golden hamster grew increasingly agitated. Min Wu felt dizzy and lightheaded; he could sense something invading his mind and body. If this continued, he feared he wouldn't be able to remain conscious. Seeing Di Youlin walk forward without hesitation, he had no choice but to grab Zhang Nan by the back of his collar, activate his skill, and return to the outside of the forest.

When Ning Xuan saw Zhang Nan and Min Wu suddenly appear, she knew that Min Wu had activated his skill. Seeing that both of them looked unwell, she immediately checked their bodies.

Ning Xuan fed the two antidotes and mutation-removing agents, and then used acupuncture to clear their restless mental seas. Min Wu inhaled relatively less poison gas, and he was the first to recover.

As for Zhang Nan, his entire body was still shrouded in a distinct bluish-purple hue, and apart from the color being slightly lighter, there was no other significant improvement.

"This poison is quite stubborn," Ning Xuan said after checking Zhang Nan's pulse.

"Why didn't Di Youlin come back with us?" Ning Xuan asked Min Wu.

“Young Master Di said we’re not far from where the accident happened and he wants to go further ahead to take a look,” Min Wu replied.

“He dared to act on his own.” Ning Xuan frowned. Although Di Youlin’s strength was indeed far superior to Zhang Nan and Min Wu, Ning Xuan had asked them to go in together to explore so that they could look after each other. Now that Min Wu and Zhang Nan had returned, Di Youlin refused to come back. This meant he didn’t take her instructions seriously.

"How did Zhang Nan get poisoned? Didn't you bring gas masks?" Ning Xuan asked, looking at the gas mask hanging around Min Wu's neck.

When Min Wu and Zhang Nan returned, they were indeed wearing gas masks, which they had just pulled down.

"This poisonous gas should be able to enter the body through the pores. Zhang Nan was standing in front of the big tree and got sprayed all over." Min Wu told Ning Xuan and the others what he saw after entering the forest.

After hearing his description, Ning Xuan and the others became somewhat nervous. Although they knew that Di Youlin was very powerful, she couldn't help but worry about Di Youlin's safety.

Di Youlin looked at the black barrier in front of him, which was at least two meters high, with a solemn expression. This was the Black Fault Space. Once you entered the Black Fault Space, all objects, whether living or non-living, would immediately and automatically decompose.

Black fault lines are a common phenomenon in star systems, often appearing before black holes occur. However, they generally only exist in star systems and not inside stars.

How could a black, fractured space appear on this celestial body?

Di Youlin was completely baffled. He walked along this space to the right, wanting to see if this space had an end. As he walked, suddenly, the rope tied to his wrist tightened.

It looks like they've used up all the 3,000 meters of rope.

Di Youlin looked ahead at the endlessly extending black fault space, turned back, and walked to the left. As he walked, the rope tightened again. This time, he felt a distinct pulling force when the rope tightened. This was Ning Xuan urging him to go back quickly.

However, there is no end in sight on either side. Should we untie the rope and continue walking forward to see what happens?
The thought flashed through Di Youlin's mind, and he was somewhat tempted to act. However, the drag from the rope in his hand was getting stronger and stronger, and his movements were becoming more and more urgent. Di Youlin decided to go back first.
