Swallowing the Stars: Sacrifice to Become Stronger, Fiancée is Alluring

Chapter 97 Two-Pronged Approach

A few minutes later.

Jiang Lan stood outside a cave and looked inside.

It was pitch black inside, as if there was no end in sight.

But he raised an eyebrow slightly and went straight into the cave.

As soon as Jiang Lan entered the cave, she sniffed.

A unique aroma of rice lingered in the air, which smelled wonderful.

He followed the direction from which the smell was coming, and soon a milky white crystal appeared in Jiang Lan's field of vision.

Jiang Lan stopped and stared at the crystal for a long time.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up.

This is... Muya Jing?

Jiang Lan bent down, picked up the crystal, and put it into the tactical backpack on her back.

This is a good thing; even for him now, it can still be of some use.

After Jiang Lan put the wooden crystal into her backpack, the rice fragrance in her nose did not disappear; it remained.

Following the scent, Jiang Lan continued deeper into the cave.

After walking a few steps, another white crystal appeared in his field of vision.

It's still Muya Jing.

Picking it up again, the aroma of rice still wafted from the depths of the cave, as if deliberately guiding Jiang Lan deeper into the cave.

Jiang Lan naturally knew why.

This Muya Crystal was the bait that Babata used to lure him to the Meteorite Starship.

And that was precisely his plan for this trip.

Everything was progressing exceptionally smoothly, to the point that Jiang Lan felt it was going a little too smoothly.

But this is a good thing.

After picking up about ten more wooden crystals, his gaze suddenly swept towards the right side of the cave wall.

A striking red color stood out in the crevice between two rocks.

When Jiang Lan got closer to the red object, she could see that it was an irregular piece of metal, only about half the size of her palm.

Fragment of red copper mother metal!

Jiang Lan had completely forgotten about this thing, but he was so lucky that he actually came across it.

If he hadn't stumbled upon it, he really wouldn't have remembered that there was such a treasure as the fragment of the Crimson Copper Mother on this Fog Island.

Reaching out and pinching the blood-red fragment, Jiang Lan realized that this thing was extremely heavy; even a small piece probably weighed about a ton.

Of course, although the fragment was heavy, it felt like a child's toy in Jiang Lan's hands.

Holding the fragment, he put it into a special pocket in his combat suit before continuing deeper into the cave.

Muya Crystal +1...

Muya Crystal +1...

Muya Crystal +1...

When Jiang Lan's tactical backpack was almost half full, the path in front of him finally disappeared, replaced by a rock wall blocking his way.

……

……

Inside the spaceship.

The child's eyes were filled with barely suppressed excitement and exhilaration. "It's here! It's finally here! Quick, close the hatch and get invisible!"

After saying that, the child ran off outside.

……

……

"Boom!"

Jiang Lan stood still, looking at the spot in front of her.

At this moment, the rock wall in front of him began to shake violently, making a loud noise.

After the sound, the rock wall suddenly disappeared into thin air without any warning, startling Jiang Lan.

Holy crap, high-tech!

Jiang Lan looked forward again and saw a metal hatch revealed where the stone wall had originally covered the area.

This hatch looks similar to the one at the global headquarters of the Extreme Martial Arts Academy; it is exceptionally large, and one half of it is already open.

The other half, however, remains tightly shut.

The hatch looked like it hadn't been cleaned for many years; it was now covered in dust, and its original color was almost unrecognizable.

Having come this far, he naturally had no reason to back down.

Jiang Lan walked directly into the cabin.

However, as soon as he entered, he was stunned by the scene before him.

All I could see was a passageway, which seemed to be the entrance.

The passage itself wasn't anything special; what was special was that it was completely filled with Wood Crystals. At a rough glance, there must have been at least a thousand Wood Crystals.

However, Jiang Lan did not rush to pick up the wooden crystals on the ground, but continued to walk into the entrance passage.

No one but him will come to this place.

To maintain secrecy, he didn't even fly the smart fighter jet.

The intelligent fighter jet belongs to the Extreme Martial Arts School. Although it is his, the ultimate control is actually in Hong's hands.

If Hong wanted, he could see the location of Jiang Lan's fighter jet at any time, as well as when it went to which places.

Even if Hong finds out, there's a high probability he won't do anything about it.

It's better to avoid trouble than to cause it. If she can completely avoid trouble, Jiang Lan won't bother to create trouble for herself.

Thinking to himself, Jiang Lan had already moved forward about a hundred meters and arrived at the end of the entrance passage.

Upon reaching the end, another passage appeared on his left and right sides.

Unlike before, this passage was spotless, free of dust.

The walls of the passage were all made of a silver metal that Jiang Lan had never seen before.

Looking further ahead, Jiang Lan couldn't help but widen her eyes in astonishment.

On the seemingly solid metal wall, there were huge fist marks, and the indentations were extremely deep.

It's obvious that the force required to blast this metal wall into this state must be extremely terrifying; Jiang Lan definitely couldn't do it right now.

This is the Meteorite Starship. Even if Jiang Lan smashes it against this wall with all his might, he won't be able to leave a single mark.

Looking further down into the depression, one sees a huge corpse leaning against the wall.

The corpse was completely black, with arms thicker than Jiang Lan's waist, and was wearing armor with strange patterns.

Most importantly, the corpse's blood-red eyes were open, and they were radiating an astonishing aura.

Just one glance was enough to send a wave of fear through Jiang Lan’s heart.

There's nothing we can do; it's a difference in the level of life.

The fact that this corpse has been dead for an unknown amount of time, yet still maintains such a lifelike appearance, already indicates that this corpse was an immortal powerhouse in life!

Only immortal beings can live forever. Even if they die in battle, their physical bodies will not change in the slightest without external factors.

Jiang Lan took a deep breath and approached the enormous corpse, her heart pounding violently.

He couldn't be sure whether this corpse, which had been dead for so long, was still within the scope of the system's sacrificial offerings.

If it were possible to offer sacrifices...

Before coming, Jiang Lan had already made two preparations.

First, one must go through the formalities of becoming an apprentice.

The second is the sacrifice of corpses.

It should be noted that there was more than just this one corpse inside the Meteorite Star spaceship.

Moreover, most of these corpses were immortal powerhouses in life.

If he could truly sacrifice the corpse, the benefits he would receive would be unimaginable!
