Swallowed Star (All Chapters) Volume 2

Volume 9 - Chapter 20: Black Hole

"So many?" Luo Feng was shocked, looking at his surroundings, he could barely make out the silhouettes of two to three teams.

"A large number of teams are close to the Valley, they are all hidden, hence if we don't look carefully, it'll be hard to actually spot them." Babata's voice resounded.

"Understood." Luo Feng said

......

The mountain range was bare, the stones on it were mostly all black, mixed with the occasional silver. Luo Feng's team carefully progressed, the center region of this mountain seemed as though it was struck by a heavenly battle knife, splitting it completely open, creating the Valley.

This enormous valley that seemed to have been split in two by a blade, is the Valley of Wind and Thunder.

With universe energy as it's core and source and the winds blowing violently about, mixed with large amounts of stones, amongst them were wind corner stones, dancing in the wind. And within the valley at the two sides of the mountain, groups from families from the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, various powers and youths from different planets.

They were the younger generation, youths who hadn't yet become true Universe warriors. This time, was their first step and exam into becoming strong!

"Luo Feng, this is the map, on it the location I've marked out is an extremely good spot. It'd be best for your team to hide out there." Babata communicated mentally.

Luo Feng lowered his head and looked at the screen on his arm.

"Follow me." Luo Feng said softly.

Hong, Thunder God and the other two quietly followed, the closer they got to the valley, the more violent the winds got. Luo Feng came to a particular huge stone and fiercely moved it away, revealing a cave, communicating mentally, "Everyone get in, there's a cave within connecting directly to the valley mountain."

"You can even find such a place?" Thunder God couldn't help but compliment.

"Go in." Hong led the way in.

In this World of Thunder, the spirit readers' area of scanning was very small, that was their ability in the air, and for their spirit reading to pass through the universe energy infused stones, Star levels and below weren't able to do so. Without spirit reading to scan, these sort of places were extremely hard to find.

And for someone to actually dig himself? With the mountain rubble that had been strongly grounded and molded for long periods of time by the mad winds, it would take at least one to two days of work to dig through.

"Good thing we have Babata." Luo Feng jumped into the cave, covering it with the boulder.

This cave was within the mountain.

Following the cave, it led directly to one of the Valley of Wind and Thunder's mountain walls, on it was a hole that was about 30cm wide.

"What's this?" Thunder God's eyes lit up.

"Hm?" Hong picked up a smooth little stone that was close to the hole's entrance, it was mostly black, but its membrane seemed to emit a peculiar blue color, the normal stones here were all black, or black stones mixed with a little silver. Only the wind corner stones' surfaces had that layer of blue shine, from what they heard, these wind corner stones had endured the lightning strikes and not get vaporized, absorbing some on the lightning's power and forming the peculiar stones.

"Wind corner stone, it's a wind corner stone." Thunder God said.

"I'd never expect to be able to just pick up one wind corner stone." Luo Feng laughed as he walked towards the hole's entrance, outside, the wind outside howled bloody murder, and as the cave was completely sealed up, the wind inside was very small. Luo Feng turned over to the other four, "The wind outside is terrifying, it'd be hard to obtain another one like that."
