728: secretly

“Huh… I didn't see any… Ah! I see them!” Hua Lan was just muttering about not seeing any Foreign Race, but then in a blink of an eye, she saw a group of Foreign Race at the "edge."

And not far away, one of their starships was parked.

The number of Foreign Race looked considerable; currently, thirteen could be seen.

These Foreign Race looked like "stone people," their entire bodies were grayish-brown, somewhat similar to the color of The Ground on this asteroid.

Their bodies were not small; even the shortest was about three meters tall, but their build was not bulky; in fact, they could be described as somewhat slender. The most noticeable feature was their pair of large hands.

Their arms hung vertically, almost reaching their knees, but their palms were very large. When hanging naturally, their fingertips could directly touch The Ground.

Their heads looked both square and round, and they only had a single eye and a large mouth covering half their face. There were no teeth in their mouth, or rather, their mouth was full of teeth, similar to many "protrusions." It seemed that when their food was thrown into their mouth, it was probably directly "ground into powder."

“What kind of Foreign Race is this? I don't seem to have seen them before…” Hua Lan looked at these Foreign Race with some curiosity.

“Didn't you say there were many, many Foreign Race? Isn't it normal not to have seen them before?” Tang Jue said to Hua Lan.

“Hmm, there's also the Foreign Race Records. Most powerful and famous Foreign Race are recorded in it. But I have no impression of this Foreign Race in front of me.” Hua Lan shook her head slightly and said to Tang Jue, “This also indicates that this Foreign Race might just be a small clan, or some unknown Foreign Race.

All in all, whether it's in terms of strength or influence, we can afford to provoke them!”

Tang Jue understood after listening to Hua Lan.

This was equivalent to the human way of first checking your Sect attire to see if you belonged to a famous and righteous Sect!

Oh, no? Then let's see if you're from a small, insignificant Sect. If not, ha! A rogue cultivator? Then you're even easier to bully!

It's pretty much the same meaning.

“So, we can deal with them!” Tang Jue's eyes lit up immediately. He wanted to see what these so-called Foreign Race were like.

“Theoretically, yes, but we can secretly observe from the side~” Hua Lan chuckled and said, “First, let's see what kind of resources they are looking for. If we also need them, then we'll reap the benefits. If not, we'll rob the rich to help the poor!”

“Rob the rich to help the poor?” Tang Jue looked at Hua Lan with some confusion.

“We are very poor, you know~” Hua Lan winked and said.

“That makes sense.” Tang Jue nodded in agreement.

Hua Lan parked the flying boat nearby, then she and Tang Jue got off the flying boat and put it back into the Storage Ring.

Immediately after, she quietly cast several Spells: “These are concealment Spells.”

“Hmm.” Tang Jue nodded. It was very comforting to have such a Great Master of Spells around.

Regardless of how she fought, at least her support was versatile.

Hua Lan and Tang Jue quietly approached the group of stone-like Foreign Race.

The group of stone-like people seemed to be walking aimlessly in this area.

Each stone person, as he walked, would directly "dig The Ground" with his hands, seemingly searching for something.

Occasionally, he would pick up some seemingly different stones, examine them in his hand for a moment, then throw them into his mouth and chew them.

Perhaps it wasn't to his taste, so he would shake his head and continue to repeat the action.

“What resource are they looking for?” Tang Jue looked at their "simple and unadorned" search method. To say it was backward, they had Universe spacecraft; to say it was advanced… “I don't know. The intelligence also doesn't know where it came from, saying that there are Foreign Race here looking for resources, but it's not certain what this resource is.” Hua Lan shook her head slightly and said, “There are simply too many planets. This planet, it looks quite barren.”

And just at this moment, a stone person suddenly raised his hand excitedly.

The other stone people gathered around.

In the stone person's hand was an irregular stone, about the size of a goose egg. The stone was blackish-gray, but it also had dark red patterns visible on it.

“Eh?! This seems to be Red-Veined Gray Stone.” Hua Lan's gaze narrowed slightly, glowing with a faint white light.

“What is that?” Tang Jue asked curiously.

“A type of Artifact Refining Materials. I don't understand the specifics, it's not very common, though not very rare either. It's a good thing!” Hua Lan's eyes lit up.

“So, we can rob them?” Upon hearing this, Tang Jue's eyes immediately brightened. His Heaven-grade sword artifact, the Startling Swan Sword, flew out from his Dantian and materialized in his hand.

“No rush, no rush, let them find a bit more! Then we'll directly attack their spaceship! They won't even have a chance to escape!” Hua Lan said with an excited expression.

Immediately after, those stone people, seemingly because they had found the resources they were looking for, excitedly scattered in all directions, digging The Ground, digging The Ground, and still digging The Ground.

“No matter how many times I see it, it still feels absurd. Don't they have any instruments or equipment?” Hua Lan looked at the actions of these stone people and felt it was truly a bit primitive.

Even though these stone people had very large hands, their two hands were like two excavators, digging away rapidly.

“Hey! Perfect, they're all not by the spaceship. I'll go get some good stuff.” Hua Lan saw that the stone people had all scattered, and there didn't seem to be any stone people by the spaceship, so she prepared to sneak over.

“Be careful, I'll watch out for you nearby.” Tang Jue warned Hua Lan.

“No problem, leave it to me! I'm a professional at this!” Hua Lan chuckled, then cast a Spell, and she instantly disappeared, seemingly invisible?

Tang Jue found it difficult to even detect her tracks. With his Divine Sense fully open, he could barely see Hua Lan's movement trajectory. Her speed wasn't very fast, but once she stopped, she became undetectable. Only when she was moving could her traces be perceived.

Hmph! She even has this hidden skill, quite something. Tang Jue watched with interest as Hua Lan gradually approached the stone people's spaceship.

Taking advantage of the stone people's attention being elsewhere, she quickly took out several Talismans and affixed them to various hidden parts of the spaceship.

Then she quickly took out something, which looked like a Formation Plate or something else, and buried it in The Ground.

The whole process flowed smoothly. In less than ten minutes, Hua Lan returned.

“How was it? What are these things you set up?” Tang Jue asked Hua Lan with some curiosity.

“Hehe~ I set up some good things for this spaceship. Don't ask, you'll know when the time comes! Anyway, these stone people definitely won't have a chance to escape.” Hua Lan chuckled and said to Tang Jue, her eyes full of excitement.

From this point, it was clear that she was absolutely a little devil, the kind who wished for chaos in the Universe.
