Chapter 1063: Starpower Aboil (2/2)

A pensive Anwen laughed wryly. “This fellow looks dumb, but he’s actually quite smart. His only weakness is being too sentimental. Unless you take his friends and family hostage, chances of him committing suicide are quite low. Perhaps he can utilize the star power?”

“Impossible! Unless his body is even stronger than Basil's. How can a mere vampire do that?”

Anwen said, “Don’t forget that there are ancient vampires as well.”

“Even an ancient vampire can’t be stronger than Basil, he’s a pure-blooded arachne royalty who, according to your classification, can be considered an ancient arachne as well. Even if we take a step back and say that they are stronger, there’s no way they can withstand star power from a primal star.”

Nodding, Anwen glanced toward Qianye and remained silent with a frown on his face.

At this moment, the nine primal stars had been exhausted. The Book of Darkness closed only after the last star had turned dim and faded into the depths of the starry sky.

This entire process was completed in the time it took to brew a cup of tea. Everything happened so fast that many of the Evernight experts had no time to react before the nine primal stars had been plundered clean.

A crystalline gem appeared on the cover of the Book of Darkness. It was the size of an egg with countless edges covering its surface and starlight glistening within.

Qianye’s heart was beating like a drum at this point, which was a sign that he had already spent too much origin power. Knowing that he couldn’t stay any longer inside the well, he flew straight for the entrance. There was no time to check the changes in the book.

The situation around the entrance was fairly delicate. Intentionally or otherwise, the Evernight experts approached the entrance of the well.

Basil was at the front but came to a screeching halt when a red spider lily popped open in his path, his expression sour.

He looked back, and then into the air, before ultimately stopping.

At this point, Qianye had flown out of the well and arrived at the Empire’s side. It was too late to attack now.

Only then did the netherworld flower fade away.

By the time the Imperial group had returned to camp, Basil Shouted, “Now it’s our turn, isn’t it?”

Zhao Ruoxi’s voice echoed in the air, “Go wild.”

“Go wild?” Basil was stunned, puzzled as to what those words meant.

“You may use the well to your heart’s content.”

“Don’t tell me…”

“We’re leaving.”

Basil was startled. The large daybreak stars still had star power left. Why would they leave just like that? Could it be that they had used up the Storm Pearls in their possession?

At this point, several figures could be seen rushing away into the mountains. Qianye’s group had really left.

Basil broke into a laugh. “Haha, then we won’t hold back!”

He walked forward in large strides but was dumbfounded as he looked down the well.

The star power inside the well was rolling about chaotically like a tempest. The space below the Constellation Well was an enclosed environment. The storm of star power had no place to drain, and thus, the reverberations never stopped. The danger level under such circumstances would increase several times—even Basil felt somewhat apprehensive.

“Those human bastards!” Basil couldn’t help but curse. Apparently, the mess inside the well was because of Qianye. No wonder the humans left so generously.

Basil looked back. “Anwen, what now?”

Anwen looked down into the well. “Looks like it’ll take half a month to calm down.”

Basil was stunned. “Then what do we do? Wait?”

Anwen shook his head. “We’re not going to wait, see you.”

With that, Anwen and Eden left the scene.

Basil glanced at the vampire race, but Edward shook his head. “I don’t have anything to do here, either. Let’s just leave.”

The vampire stars had been cleared out by Qianye, so Edward had no reason to remain here. It was just that Basil had a fair number of white spider eggs left, so he was reluctant. “I’ll wait alone then!”

Edward walked a good distance before looking back. “This is human territory. Be wary if you’re staying here alone, they might just come back.”

Basil gazed blankly in front of him for a good while, but ultimately decided to follow Edward. He turned back reluctantly several times as he walked away.

After everyone was gone and the world was calm, a giant, golden-maned wolf appeared near the well. Seeing that there was no one around, he dove straight into the well.
