116: Chapter 14 Starry Stone 116: Chapter 14 Starry Stone As soon as the name Rebirth Island was mentioned, it immediately gained everyone’s approval.

Yang Yangyang and others, who had been fully involved in the establishment of the Star Alliance and the naming of the island, now felt an even stronger sense of belonging to this place.

Although they had not formally joined the organization yet, Zhang Xiaoman had made it clear just now that he was willing to accept them into the Star Alliance and help them become true Transcendents.

The matter of this organizational setup thus came to a temporary close.

Guided by Zhang Xiaoman, the group returned to the site where they had camped the night before.

Along the way, when they passed by the corpse of the monster resembling a Werewolf, Zhang Xiaoman also took the opportunity to use his newly acquired Skill, the Eye of the Starry Sky, to absorb all the bodies on the ground, ultimately gaining 15 points.

For Yang Yangyang and the others, this was the first time they had witnessed such a scene.

Each of them was captivated by the dazzling Seven-pointed Star Array in his hand, all showing a look of curiosity on their faces.

“Brother Man, what was that move just now?

I always thought that pattern on your hand was just a symbol, but it turns out it’s an extraordinary means!”

Xun You was the first to speak.

Zhang Xiaoman, leading the way, explained:

“This symbol in my hand, called the ‘Eye of the Starry Sky,’ is the most fundamental way to purify Alien Species corpses.

Once you officially join the Star Alliance, you will also have this mark engraved in the palm of your hand.”

“If you kill an Alien Monster in the future, you must purify it within the first available moment.

If you allow it to become contaminated or utilized by other Alien Species, it could lead to unpredictable consequences.”

Seeing everyone nod in agreement, Zhang Xiaoman continued:

“The monster just now, we call it ‘Horror Claw.’ As of the current Stage, its strength is quite formidable.”

“Not only is the Horror Claw very fast, but its claws are incredibly sharp, capable of easily tearing through steel…

however, its weakness is the lack of energy attack capabilities…

Be very careful if you ever encounter one.”

The information Zhang Xiaoman shared was gleaned from his recent battle with the Horror Claw.

The others listened attentively, their faces full of Concentration, for fear of missing any detail.

During the conversation, the group had already reached their destination.

Looking at the messy campsite, everyone felt a bit disheartened.

After tidying up the area and seeing that the supplies were running low, they packed up and prepared to head back.

“What, Brother Man, you’re not coming back with us?”

Yang Yangyang looked at Zhang Xiaoman in surprise.

“After we go back to the ship this time, we probably won’t be coming here for a while.

Everyone needs to resupply and buy equipment before exploring this place again.

Won’t you have trouble being here alone for so long, Brother Man?”

Zhang Xiaoman smiled, waved his hand, and said:

“Even though I’m an Awakener, I still need to eat and drink, and besides, there are many things to take care of in Qionghua City.

Of course, I can’t stay here all the time.”

“Then Brother Man you…”

“Sweater, have you gone dumb?

Brother Man is a Transcendent.

Surely he’s got other ways to get back, like Space Transmission or something…

And here you are, always bragging about how clever you are.

I think even my brain works better than yours!”

Xun You scoffed timely at the side.

Zhang Xiaoman nodded slightly and laughed:

“Indeed, I have my own means to return, but it’s a pity that I can’t take you with me for Teleportation just yet.

Once you gain control over Dark Energy in the future, you’ll be able to travel directly to and from Rebirth Island like me.”

The four were initially stunned, then nodded their heads in anticipation.

After that, they didn’t linger any longer and, after saying goodbye to Zhang Xiaoman, took what little supplies remained and headed back.

Watching their receding figures, Zhang Xiaoman’s eyes also showed a touch of aspiration.

He was more concerned about the development of the organization than anyone else.

Aside from the need to combat Alien Species, wasn’t there a bit of a desire to chase opportunities?

Afterward, Zhang Xiaoman first spent several hours searching nearby to see if there was a Space Node.

However, to his disappointment, he did not find the longed-for purple glow; he then took out the hearthstone, planning to return.

But just as he was about to touch the stone in his pocket, the slightly different sensation at his fingertips made him frown slightly.

When he took out the stone to inspect it, his expression changed immediately.

[Starry Stone]〖third-tier〗

Bound

Use to restore Dark Energy to 100%

Cooling time: 1 hour.

——Using Dark Energy to successfully trace the pattern on it will teleport the user back to the Original Realm Boundary Stone.

“The, the Teleportation destination changed!??”

Zhang Xiaoman stared blankly at the hearthstone in his hand, which had greatly changed its appearance, and his eye twitched violently.

“This is screwed up, how am I supposed to get back now!!”

He saw that the hearthstone in his hands had changed from its original oval shape to its current round shape, and the color had also changed from white to a mysterious black.

The ring pattern had become the all-too-familiar Seven-pointed Star Array, and there was no trace of the stone’s original appearance left at all.

Although, from a results perspective, this change was undoubtedly an epic enhancement.

After all, the recovery of Dark Energy went from the original 2 points straight to 100%, and that difference was like heaven and earth.

However, considering Zhang Xiaoman’s current predicament, this was not at all endearing.

“Dammit, System, I know you made a thoughtful modification to make it convenient for me to get in and out of Rebirth Island, but could you not do it at this time?

I was planning on using the hearthstone to return, but now, Yang Yangyang and the others have already left, and my hearthstone is gone too, so how am I supposed to leave now!”

Zhang Xiaoman wanted to cry but had no tears; if only he had checked the condition of his carried items beforehand.

Now, everyone had left several hours ago, it was impossible for him to catch up.

Moreover, the Final Gate was at least 500 kilometers away from the edge of Rebirth Island.

Apart from the possibility of getting lost, even if he could reach it on foot, Yang Yangyang and the others would have surely already sailed away.

“Am I, could I possibly be trapped here forever?” Zhang Xiaoman’s face was one of despair.

The only good news was that, at least in the Original Realm, he wouldn’t die of hunger or thirst.

But, regarding Yang Yangyang and the rest who might come here next time, he had no idea how long it would be, and he didn’t want to just keep waiting here.

“Wait a minute!

I still have Unlimited Teleportation!!”

Immediately afterward, Zhang Xiaoman thought of the ability he had just acquired.

He involuntarily turned his eyes towards the ring on his hand.

Unlimited Teleportation, allowing him to teleport within a 50-meter range of a Star Alliance Marker or a friendly unit.

Zhang Xiaoman’s eyes lit up as if he had seen the last glimmer of hope.

“Star Alliance Marker, I haven’t even set one of these things up yet…

so, what about ‘friendly units’…”
