Something is wrong with my junior sister after her spiritual veins were destroyed

After noticing Su Zi's gaze, the soft white flesh shrank back in panic and tried to hide.

This caused the entire "Stone Man" to start twitching.

Su Zi found it a little funny.

"Don't hide, I won't hurt you."

Su Zi smiled and pointed at the fruits on the trees.

"Eat it if you want. If it's not enough, I'll grow some more for you."

The twitching stone man suddenly stopped, as if thinking about what Su Zi said.

After a while, one of the stone men shook his body and slowly approached the fruit tree. His stone hand moved upwards little by little, but because the distance was a little short, he needed to remove a few stones from other parts to use as a pad before he could finally touch the fruit on the tree.

Then Su Zi saw a mass of white soft flesh covering the fruit bit by bit.

Within a few breaths, the fist-sized fruit began to shrink until only a core was left.

The "stone man" held the fruit core in his hand and stopped where he was. After seeing that Su Zi did not move, more "stone men" began to use the same method to wrap the fruit with soft flesh, leaves, and branches...

"Wait!" Su Zi said.

This sudden scream frightened the "stone men" so much that they trembled violently. Some of the timid ones even "disintegrated" directly, revealing a mass of soft, flowing matter that maintained a "human shape".

Then in the blink of an eye they attached themselves back to the stone, panicking and piecing their bodies together.

As if they thought Su Zi had changed his mind, the "stone men" remained in place in strange postures.

"I'm not going back on my word! I was wondering if you could just eat the leaves and fruits when you eat? And leave the trunk?"

After understanding Su Zi's words, some of the "stone men" that had just wrapped the tree trunk spit out the trunk and turned to eat other fruits and leaves.

In a short while, half of the fruit tree was gone.

The ground was littered with cleanly eaten fruit cores.

Su Zi raised his hand and used the object control technique, and all the fruit cores returned to his hand.

Then he planted a large area next to it, and this time the spiritual energy ran out.

No longer observing those strange stone men, Su Zi continued to meditate to recover his spiritual energy.

After Su Zi planted another wave of fruit trees before twelve o'clock, he had an hour of electrotherapy.

After the end, I am still full of energy and in high spirits.

And those "stone men" were eating the last batch of fruit trees as if they were hungry.

Su Zi began to refresh his study hours for the day.

After about an hour, the rustling sound in my ears disappeared.

When Su Zi came to his senses, he saw a vast expanse of bare stems, without even a leaf.

Moreover, all the fruit cores were collected by these "stone men" in front of Su Zi.

Not only that, the "stone men" did not return to the underground, but stayed not far from Su Zi like small mounds of earth, neatly lined up one shorter than the other.

"Aren't you full yet?" Su Zi asked.

Her response was a unanimous nod.

"......You guys can eat so much......" Su Zi muttered to himself.

There were at least hundreds of fruit trees planted around Su Zi, but there were only sixteen "stone men". Each of them ate from at least two fruit trees, which meant at least a hundred fruits.

There was no expression on the faces and heads of the "stone men", but Su Zi could see that they looked pitiful, weak and helpless, yet very eager to eat.

"Eh..." Su Zi sighed. What else could he do? He couldn't go back on his word.

It took two tubes of spiritual energy to ripen the fruits in this forest again, but they were eaten up in less than two hours.

She still looked pitiful, staring at Su Zi with her expressionless features.

"..."

Su Zi ripened four batches of fruits in one night, and only then did the "stone men" eat and drink their fill and rest against their stone pens.

However, Su Zi only completed five hours of study in one night.

As the sky brightened again, Su Zi sighed and stood up to continue exploring.

Seeing Su Zi leaving, the "stone man" who was resting also got up and slowly followed Su Zi a few meters behind.

After walking for a long time and still seeing no end, Su Zi could only try to ask the "stone men" who were following him.

After hearing Su Zi's question, most of the "stone men" shook their heads, but one of the "stone men" walked out from among them.

Its body is obviously taller.

The other party couldn't speak, and Su Zi didn't understand what it meant. He could only follow its instructions and walk in the direction Su Zi had just gone.

The "stone man" did not stop until the sky became dark. Even though other "stone men" had stayed behind to eat, it still led Su Zi forward.

Only when there was no more "stone man" behind Su Zi did the "stone man" leading the way turn around and look at Su Zi, then it raised its hand, pointed in a direction, and nodded.

"Is that the place I'm looking for?" Su Zi asked tentatively.

The "Stone Man" nodded again, drew a big circle with both arms, then pointed in that direction, crossed his hands and hugged himself, twitching a few times.

"You mean, it's... cold there?"

The "Stone Man" shook his head wildly, then pointed at that place, and his whole body shook violently and then disintegrated.

Su Zi was amused by this scene and wanted to laugh, but this scene reminded her of when she first met these stone men and she stopped them from eating tree trunks. Several of the "stone men" disintegrated due to sudden fright.

"Where is it scary?" After thinking for a moment, Su Zi added, "Is that place dangerous?"

This time Su Zi seemed to have guessed right. The "Stone Man" nodded frantically and kept gesturing with his hands.

"I understand. Thank you." Su Zi smiled slightly, planted all the fruits on his body around, and then ripened them.

Su Zi didn't plan to wait until daytime to go in, as she had already stayed in the secret realm for too long.

After saying goodbye to the "Stone Man", Su Zi picked a large bag of fruits and walked in the direction the "Stone Man" pointed.

Along the way, Su Zi did not forget to plant a tree at regular intervals to prevent the white fog from blocking the road behind him.

I don’t know if it was Su Zi’s illusion, but the white fog became thicker and thicker as he walked along the way, although the white fog still automatically avoided Su Zi.

Not long after walking forward, Su Zi saw a huge stone gate.

It is at least five or six meters wide, and its height cannot be seen because it is obscured by the white fog, but it is estimated to be more than ten meters.

Su Zi planted fruit trees around to disperse some of the white fog.

There are strange patterns carved on the stone gate, which look like birds, beasts and words.

The material of the stone door is also very strange, and spiritual consciousness cannot penetrate it.

Su Zi tried to inject spiritual energy into the stone gate, but found that the stone gate did not respond.
