Swallowed Star: Top Comprehension

Chapter 58: Want to cheat me? I'll make you kneel down

Chen Yue explored all the way downwards. Whenever he passed a hidden underground river, he would always stop temporarily, taking advantage of this rare opportunity to rest for a while.

Unlike Luo Feng who possesses the Sky Shuttle that can easily penetrate rocks, Chen Yue must rely on his own strength to continue digging, which will undoubtedly consume a huge amount of physical energy.

In a deep underground river about 10000 meters above the ground, Chen Yue finally smelled a familiar fragrance of rice.

He approached with a curious look, but inwardly he was secretly delighted.

The appearance of the two-headed dragon turtle had already made him suspicious, and now, the familiar smell of rice seemed to confirm his speculation.

He carefully raised the white crystal in his hand to his nose, pretending to be curious and exploratory, and then quickly and carefully put it into his backpack.

Along the way, Chen Yue was lucky enough to find three Muya crystals.

He explored tirelessly and finally reached an underground space of 15600 meters. Here, the rocks were piled up layer by layer, and it was impossible to identify where the Meteorite was.

"Alas! It is worthy of being Babata, worthy of being an intelligent life." He pondered.

Obviously, he still underestimated Babata's ability.

Chen Yue secretly comforted himself: "Forget it, at least I didn't get nothing this time. Three Mu Ya crystals, the owner of the museum will be envious if he knows."

He decided to leave.

Since there is no way to break through Babata's means, staying here will only be a waste of time.

"Squeak-"

Suddenly, the sound of shaking rocks was heard from not far away.

A thick layer of rock began to tremble, accompanied by a faint echo of friction sounds.

"Pfft!"

The rock layers seemed to be blown away by an invisible force, turning into dust and disappearing without a trace.

Where the rock had originally hidden it, a half-open hatch appeared, covered in dust and exuding an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.

"The hatch?"

Chen Yue stopped and paused.

I guess this is where the Yunmo Star is?

It is true that there is always light at the end of the tunnel!
All previous signs indicated that Babata did not want him to find the Meteorite.

Why did Babata suddenly change his mind?
Chen Yue was clueless for a moment.

Now that he was already here, there was no reason not to go in and find out what was going on.

So Chen Yue took a deep breath and stepped through the hatch.

When entering the entrance passage, Chen Yue held the Shadow in his hand and moved forward cautiously.

He noticed that the road was covered with a thick layer of dust and that no one had been there before.

When he reached the end of the passage, he found a wide passage in front of him that branched into two sides.

On the ground of the passage, a huge corpse was lying. Its skin was ink-black, its arms were extremely strong, and it was wearing a special armor with dense patterns.

"Indeed, it is completely consistent with the description in the original book. This must be the place." Chen Yue confirmed silently in his heart.

He did not linger long beside the body, but continued on his way, moving quickly along the passage.

He encountered several forks in the road along the way. Relying on his memory, Chen Yue chose the widest road to continue moving forward.

The passage gradually twisted and turned, and then a huge door came into his sight.

The door was over ten meters high and wide, and was slightly open, as if inviting him to enter.

"This should be the place." Chen Yue thought silently in his heart.

Through the huge door, Chen Yue walked into a huge semicircular hall.

The hall was tens of meters high, nearly two hundred meters long and wide, and six bodies were placed inside.

There was a hint of surprise on his face, but he was calm inside and began to look at it carefully.

The first body was similar to the one found at the entrance, but slightly smaller.

The second corpse was covered in black scales, although its appearance was similar to that of a human.

The third corpse's skin was as hard as a tortoise shell.

The fourth corpse was almost indistinguishable from a human on Earth, with yellow skin, black hair, and was sitting cross-legged, covered in dust.

Of the fifth corpse, only a golden skeleton and twisted horns remained on the head.

These five corpses must have been Huyanbo's slaves and apprentices when they were alive.

The sixth corpse had copper-colored skin and a huge hole in its chest, but no internal organs.

This should be the immortal and powerful one of the mechanical race.

He looked around. The hall was empty except for the occasional dent.

"Just wait here." Chen Yue thought.

At this time, he had no idea what Babata would do.

there is always a solution to a problem.

"drop--"

A slight sound broke the silence.

The dim lights in the hall lit up immediately, and dazzling beams of light poured down from above, making the entire hall bright in an instant.

At the same time, in the center of the hall, strange light began to gather and gradually formed a black figure.

The figure was only 1.45 meters tall and looked like a child, with two sharp horns on his forehead, bloodshot eyes, and a black robe. It was Babata.

"Chen Yue, you're finally here." Babata's gaze stayed on Chen Yue, and a hint of amusement was revealed in his blood-red eyes.

"Are you finally willing to show up?"

Chen Yue sneered in his heart, but pretended to be panicked.

"Are you a human or a ghost?!"

"Tell me! How do you know the location of the Yunmo Star?" Babata did not answer, but looked straight at Chen Yue.

"Meteorite?" Chen Yue pretended to be confused and repeated it.

Want to cheat me?

"Then why do you insist on coming here?" Babata did not give up.

"I found the spirits of plants and trees and the purple vine on this foggy island. Later, our owner told me that it was the Moyun vine. I thought there might be treasures here."

"Then how did you find me here?"

"I caught your signal."

"Bullshit! How could you?" Babata said angrily.

"Is it difficult?" Chen Yue pretended to be disdainful.

He knew that if he wanted to deal with Babata, he would have to be more arrogant than him.

At the same time, Chen Yue suddenly realized that Babata was circling around, obviously curious about how he tracked him here.

He immediately briefly explained the situation to Babata.

Of course, the whole operation should make him look casual and awesome.

"You're such a freak." Babata became more and more frightened the more he listened.

"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Babata. You can call me Devil Babata."

"I am essentially an intelligence..."

Babata said this and took Chen Yue to a crystal coffin.

"Huyan Bo's body." Chen Yue immediately made a judgment in his mind.

Sudden--

"Kneel down!" Babata suddenly turned his head and looked at Chen Yue.

Chen Yue frowned but did not take any action.

"I asked you to kneel down, just because you are a member of Yunmo Star, and my master is the master of Yunmo Star!"

"pat-"

A clear voice sounded.

Chen Yue casually took out the hexagonal Meteorite Star token and threw it in front of Babata.

"I didn't say I wanted to join your Yunmo Star." Chen Yue spoke slowly.

"You...you ignorant Earth human boy!" Babata grinned.

"Do you know how glorious our Yunmo Star was in the past? My master Huyan Bo is an eternal existence!"

"How many people are there on Yunmo Star now?" Chen Yue said seriously.

"..."

After a quarrel, neither Chen Yue nor Babata could do anything to the other.

"Hmph! You already know the secret of Yunmo Star. Since you don't want to join, don't blame me for being rude." Babata raised a cunning smile.

"You want to kill me?" Chen Yue's expression froze.

"I won't kill you, just stay with me. I closed the hatch when you came in, hehe."

Babata's mouth curled up into a mischievous smile, with a cunning gleam in his eyes.

Chen Yue didn't care at all.

Chen Yue sighed, with a hint of helplessness and sadness in his voice, "Alas! I was careless. It's just that I won't be able to see my apprentice Luo Feng again..."

"Wait...you said Luo Feng? He is your apprentice?" Babata's eyes widened instantly when he heard that, and then he was ecstatic.

"Of course, we have a very good relationship as master and disciple. What are you going to do?! I would rather die than let you hurt my disciple." There was a hint of caution in Chen Yue's words.

There was a hint of excitement in Babata's voice, and he said eagerly, "I won't harm him. Call him here quickly and I'll let you out immediately."

"Don't even think about harming my disciple!" Chen Yue's voice suddenly rose. He quickly clenched the shadow in his hand and pointed it directly at Babata, his eyes flashing with unquestionable determination.

"Don't worry, I will never cause any harm to Luo Feng. Please believe me!"

There was a hint of anxiety in Babata's voice. Tens of thousands of years of waiting made him eager to complete his mission.

Chen Yue remained vigilant and asked coldly: "How can I believe you easily? What evidence do you have to prove your sincerity?" His voice was as sharp as a sword.

"Wow--"

Suddenly, the floor of the hall was covered with translucent white crystals with a rice aroma.

Babata pointed at the crystals, his voice filled with pride and anticipation.

"Now, you should believe me, right? All of this is prepared for Luo Feng. Each crystal is enough to drive you Earth's strong men crazy. How could I possibly harm Luo Feng..."

He did not notice the slight upward movement of Chen Yue's mouth corners, revealing an almost imperceptible smile.
