Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Steel of the Heart

After circling the entire spaceship, Xiang Bei returned to the spaceship's entrance.

He had already looked through the entire spaceship, and apart from the exit at the very top, Xiang Bei had not found any other exits. This meant that if he wanted to get out, he would have to find a way through that underground water vein.

In any case, Xiang Bei would definitely not wander aimlessly through the yellow sand before he was completely desperate.

When navigating waterways and underground rivers, you can use the lights in your combat suit to orient yourself. But if you wander aimlessly in the yellow sand, you can't see anything and can't orient yourself at all. It's easy to get lost in there, and you'll most likely suffocate in the sand.

Unless absolutely necessary, they would never venture deep into the yellow sand.

When we passed through the two gates and returned to the underground cave.

Xiang Bei spotted a familiar figure at a glance. It was a two-tailed scorpion about the size of a calf, but its body was still grayish-white, indicating that it had not been born for long and was not even a beast general yet!

"Looks like you're the culprit who dragged me down," Xiang Bei said in a low voice, looking at the little guy. "Should I thank you, or should I kill you?"

Clearly, the two-tailed scorpion couldn't understand what Xiang Bei was saying, but it answered him with its actions.

Upon seeing Xiang Bei, the two-tailed scorpion charged towards him without hesitation, assuming an attack stance!

Clearly, this two-tailed scorpion had long considered Xiang Bei an enemy, and the reason it dragged Xiang Bei down was probably just its instinct to store food.

"Looks like I don't need to make a choice." Xiang Bei smiled calmly and thrust his hands forward in a powerful horizontal thrust!

Although he cultivates halberd skills, it doesn't mean he can't use spears.

Moreover, once his skills reached a high level, he could unleash the full power of both spears and halberds.

"A colossal engulfment!"

The terrifying force struck the Twin-Tailed Scorpion instantly, blasting it into pieces before it could even react.

At the same time, a warm current surged through Xiang Bei's body again, but compared to Xiang Bei's current physical condition, the increase brought by this warm current was negligible.

But even a small mosquito is still meat! Xiang Bei doesn't mind!

After eliminating the culprit that trapped him underground, Xiang Bei ignored the insect eggs, large and small.

Instead, they began searching for a downward path.

The location of the spacecraft's exit and the location where Xiang Bei discovered the groundwater are at different altitudes by nearly 100 meters.

If he can't find a pair of pants leading down, he'll have to dig one down himself.

However, it seemed that fate did not intend to make Xiang Bei exert too much effort. Soon after passing through a relatively narrow rock crevice, Xiang Bei discovered a staircase!

That's right, stairs!

Although it looks almost completely worn away by time.

However, Xiang Bei could still tell that these were stone staircases, and he could even find some scattered traces of metal.

Judging from the architectural style and the height of the stone steps, these buildings were clearly not built by humans on Earth.

It is very likely that it was the alien human structure that was buried deep underground with the spaceship.

Descending along the severely damaged steps, some sections are even broken or buried and collapsed.

However, none of these posed any obstacles for Xiang Bei.

He easily leaped over the broken section.

They used weapons to clear a passage through the collapsed and buried areas.

Ordinary stones are no different from tofu in the face of Xiang Bei's weapons.

Soon, Xiang Bei wandered around in the underground cave and arrived at the cave where he had seen the glowing pool of water.

"What is this?"

Xiang Bei walked up to the pool and found that it was not very big, no more than five meters long and wide, and no more than ten meters deep.

To Xiang Bei's surprise, the so-called pool was formed on a piece of machinery.

On the pool, Xiang Bei could clearly see the mechanical structure above, and there were even metal boxes of various sizes scattered on the machine. One of the metal boxes had been opened, and its contents were scattered all over the ground.

The light that Xiang Bei saw was emitted by the crystals that had scattered from the metal box.

It is about the size of a thumb, has a prismatic structure, and emits a white light.

Xiang Bei thought about it carefully and was certain that this thing did not exist in his database.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. There are countless organizations in the Swallowed Star world, so why would Xiang Bei think he could know them?

However, the most important thing now is to confirm whether these things will cause harm to my body.

If this thing is harmful, then we obviously can't walk along this path to the pool!

After thinking for a moment, Xiang Bei carefully took a drop of water from the pool and dripped it onto his fingertip.

He would not hesitate to cut off his own finger if it posed a danger.

However, as time went by, he did not feel any obvious changes.

Everything seemed normal.

However, Xiang Bei was not careless. This time, he directly inserted one finger and then quickly pulled it out.

I waited and nothing changed. Then came a hand, which I soaked for a while longer before taking it out.

After observing for a while longer and finding no problems, Xiang Bei finally breathed a sigh of relief.

There was no problem with the water, so he could safely enter and explore it.

Xiang Bei is a swimmer. Kyoto Base City is located near the sea, and every year, monsters from the ocean would unleash several beast tides that would threaten the safety of Kyoto Base City.

To ensure the safety of Kyoto base city, the warriors of Kyoto base city are sometimes forced to engage in water combat.

Therefore, from a very young age, the Xiang family would arrange for their younger generation to learn swimming and even underwater combat.

Xiang Bei is considered one of the best swimmers among the younger generation.

Xiang Bei didn't even take off his heavy combat uniform before leaping into the pool.

The combat suit provides effective protection, and its weight is negligible even underwater for the God of War.

After jumping into the water, Xiang Bei ignored the crystals scattered all over the ground.

This thing doesn't seem like much now, and it can even provide light, but who knows what bad things might happen to it once it's out of the water.

Xiang Bei thought it best to be cautious and leave these unfamiliar things where they were.

Upon venturing deeper into the pool, Xiang Bei discovered that this mechanical device, submerged beneath the water, extended far inwards.

It was pitch black and he couldn't see anything in the distance, but since this was the only way, Xiang Bei swam across quickly.

The God of War has a strong physique and can hold his breath for forty minutes or even longer, but who knows how long this waterway is, so it's best not to waste time.
