With the efforts of Shushu, Tianluo, and Shuyibao, the pit they dug became deeper and deeper.
It was already dark, and they still hadn't dug to the bottom of the Star Stone.
Shushu looked at the moon through the hole, then suddenly threw the small shovel aside, plopped down on the ground, and asked Tianluo, who was also digging nearby.
"Tianluo, do you know how big this Star Luo Stone is?"
She estimated that after a day of digging, the amount of star-shaped stones they had unearthed was at least dozens or even hundreds of times the height of her stacked stones.
Looking up at the sky, she could feel the oppressive aura emanating from the towering Star Stone beside her. If she had megalophobia, she would have fainted from fright by now.
This Star Stone is so huge that compared to it, she looks like a tiny human standing at the foot of a skyscraper, seemingly insignificant.
"I don't know, I've never drilled to the bottom of the Star Stone."
Tianluo was also stumped by the question about millet and potatoes. Seeing that the millet and potato stall had been set up, it stopped as well and looked up at the sky, just like the millet and potatoes.
This Star Stone was already here before she even sprouted.
After it sprouted, I instinctively felt that it must be a good thing, so the roots slowly moved towards it, and later they even grew around it.
Unfortunately, the soil around the Star Stone was too hard and lacked the water and nutrients it needed to survive.
It only left a portion of its roots firmly wrapped around the top, while the rest stretched out in all directions to absorb the nutrients it needed.
Over the years, it has become accustomed to constantly expanding outwards, but has never dug around the Star Stone to its bottom.
If it weren't for the fact that it was about to leave with the sorghum, it probably wouldn't have thought of taking the Star Stone with it, thus digging so deep.
To be honest, it knew that the Star Stone's effect on its transformation was almost complete, and it wouldn't need to use the Star Stone for cultivation anymore.
As a Star Stone that had accompanied him for many years and helped him successfully mutate and become stronger, Tianluo also had feelings, which is why he wanted to take it away.
Unexpectedly, this Star Stone was so enormous; it was unclear whether the space within the millet could contain it.
"Shushu, can your space hold this Star Stone? If not, I'll just take the top section."
Thinking this way, Tianluo asked the question.
"You can take it with you. That Tianluo stone is a good thing. Could you give me some later, or we can trade? I have a lot of spiritual fruits in my space. Which one do you want? Can we trade? Or if you want anything else, I can try my best to get it for you."
When Shushu heard Tianluo ask if he could take the Star Luo Stone, he hesitated for less than a second before patting his chest and saying yes, as if he was worried that Tianluo would say no if he spoke too late.
Then, Shushu also mentioned to Tianluo that she really wanted the Star Luo Stone, as it was the key to their ability to leave the Rainy Continent.
Even if we don't need to leave the Rainy Continent, having this shuttle boat will make it much easier to travel to other worlds in the future.
"No need to exchange them. As long as you can get me out of this secret realm, I'll give you half of the Star Luo Stones as a reward. Besides, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to eat such delicious pills and spiritual liquids."
Unexpectedly, after Shushu asked the question, Tianluo was very generous and immediately promised to give Shushu half the amount.
Shushu was almost stunned by the news and asked in disbelief.
"Really? You'll really give me half? Won't that affect your future cultivation?"
The last sentence was also from a genuine concern, after all, the Star Luo Stone must have played a significant role in the mutation of the Heavenly Net.
If it affects Tianluo's future, she can just ask for less.
"Yes, really. Don't even mention sharing half with you, I'll give you most of it if you can really take me out. Don't worry, it won't affect my cultivation."
Tianluo sensed the concern in Shushu's words, and his tone became more relaxed. As long as Shushu could really take him away, he was willing to give him not just half, but more than half.
"Tianluo, can't you leave this place?"
This was the second time Shushu had heard Tianlu say this, and she was now a little curious. Could it be that they couldn't leave this place? Or was this secret realm only for those who entered, and not for those who left?
However, although Shushu thought this way, she wasn't too worried. She didn't feel any pressure from the secret realm, and she felt that she could leave.
Moreover, her senior brother had also entered. He was a major villain who managed to survive until the very end, so he certainly wouldn't be defeated so easily, she believed.
It's been several days since she entered the secret realm, and she's starting to miss her senior brother. She wonders where he is and why they can't contact each other using a communication jade tablet in this secret realm!
The millet and potato are sad, the millet and potato sigh.
Just as Shushu's thoughts were wandering, Tianluo spoke up, answering the very question Shushu had just asked.
“I cannot leave on my own. This secret realm suppresses us. Unless outsiders or beasts enter, we cannot leave. Otherwise, we will die like my mother, our lifespan will run out and our cultivation will be unable to advance.”
After saying that, Tianluo's mood became very low, probably because it missed its mother.
"Shushu, are you from outside?"
However, this low mood only lasted a moment before Tianluo quickly recovered and asked seriously, the entire vine facing towards the yam, probably looking at her.
"Yes, I'm from outside. Don't worry, you'll definitely be able to leave here. I have some very capable senior brothers and sisters. Even if I can't, they'll definitely have a way."
Shushu had originally intended to comfort Tianluo, but Tianluo had already recovered on his own. Seeing this, Shushu didn't bring up the topic again, lest the other person be saddened by recalling it.
"Hehe, I knew it. You don't have any trace of the secret realm on you. I'll definitely leave here. Anyway, I'm going to go dig some soil now. I can't leave it behind."
Having received a definite answer, the last trace of worry in Tianluo's heart dissipated, and he returned to his carefree self, happily working hard to dig the hole.
Seeing this, what could Shushu say? He could only take a pill to replenish his strength and then join the group. After all, the immortal beasts had night vision and could see very clearly at night.
They dug for another day and night, until the third day when dawn was breaking, before they finally reached the bottom.
Upon seeing this, Shushu quickly put the Star Stone into its space and also took Tianluo inside to the location that Shuyibao had planned for it in advance.
Unexpectedly, once inside, Tianluo said she would live there from now on and wouldn't go to the Liuyue Sect anymore. After much persuasion, Shushu finally agreed to let a branch of her plant be planted at the Liuyue Sect.
So, the yam set off again, this time with a tender green vine wrapped around its claws.
