“Alright.” Yi Qing nodded and stood up. As long as he would not have to leave his master’s side, he was willing to do anything.
Lonemoon and Shen Ying exchanged glances and stood up as well.
“Oh, that’s right!” Shen Jing suddenly added. “Little Ying, you’re not allowed to go!”
“Why?”
“Your situation now is special. If you help them, there will be no need for them to go through the test.”
Shen Ying frowned. She whined, “Older Sister~”
Shen Jing pursed her lips and her attitude changed. “Alright, alright, alright. You may go, but promise that you would not help them, alright?”
“Yes, Older Sister! No problem, Older SIster!”
Lonemoon: “…”
Yi Qing: “…”
Shen Jing’s weak spot for Shen Ying’s cuteness had not dissipated.

They were at an absolute wasteland. There was nothing but dried up soil on the ground, and the animals could do nothing but swallow their own saliva. They kept trying to tear at each other’s skin and looked like that was all they had been doing the entire time. All around them, they could see fresh and rotting meat. The air had an intolerable stench.
Lonemoon immediately understood why this was called the Planet of Death. Not only was there no one around, it was a wasteland for corpses. Nothing looked lively there.
The moment Chef and Lonemoon landed, they began to clean up the crazed plants and animals. Given their cultivation level, it was easy to deal with beasts without any intelligence. The only thing was that there were way too many beasts there. The more they killed, the more there were.
“Shen Ying, how big is this Planet of Death?” Lonemoon looked at the new herd of beasts charging toward them.
Shen Ying kicked a stone. Something flashed across her eyes as she answered, “A hundred times as big as Earth.”
“What!” Lonemoon’s eyes widened. How long would they take to clean this place up? Shen Jing was clearly cheating them! “If all the living beings on here have been infected, how can we clean all them up in a day?”
More and more beasts were gathering around them, and they looked stronger by the minute. In the beginning, they could find a spot to stick their feet on the ground. As time went by, they took more and more breaks in mid-air. Even so, there were a significant number of beasts that could fly in mid-air as well.
“What should we do?”
“Fly toward there,” Shen Ying instructed as she pointed toward her right. “There should be some clues for us there.”
Lonemoon paused and stabbed the great bird beside him. Without any hesitation, he sped toward the right for a full hour. By then, there was a huge group of crows following behind him, and they did not look like they were about to be tired out anytime soon.
“What are we looking for?” Lonemoon could not help but ask.
“Some information,” Shen Ying replied. Suddenly, she pointed ahead. “RIght there!”
Lonemoon looked up and found that a triangular structure was floating in the air. It was made up of several smaller squares. The outside of the structure was covered in silver. Yet, when the sun shone upon it, it disappeared.
“What is this?”
“An abandoned supervision station,” Shen Ying responded. She gestured for Chef to fly over. She did something to it, causing a door to open on the triangular structure. Inside was just enough space for three people to sit.
“What are we doing here?” Lonemoon asked, confused.
“We’re looking for more information about this planet.” Suddenly, she tapped on the corner of the wall to her right. A hologram of the planet bounced up between them. Beside it was a bunch of strange numbers.
