Letedoz was currently recuperating from its injuries.
Three months earlier, it had been severely wounded on the battlefield and was now recovering in its lair, Sky-Scorching Lava City.
But upon learning that Su Yu had returned, it became wildly excited and leaped from its sickbed, soaring into the air.
Overwhelmed by emotion, spiderweb-like cracks spread across the rock on its shoulder armor. Fist-sized golden stone fragments trickled from the fissures, revealing the metallic-sheened rock core within—amber-colored stone resin seeped from it like congealed tears of blood, hanging from the sharply angular wounds.

"Could the intelligent machines have reached our star zone?" one of the stone people said despairingly.
"Very likely!" the other stone person guard said. "The clan leader is so badly injured, yet it still has to go out. What else could it be if not an intelligent machine invasion?"
"This is bad! Hurry and notify the Council of Elders!"
The more the two stone person guards thought about it, the more frightened they became. They hurriedly activated their wristbands and dialed their captain, informing it of what had happened and asking it to notify the Council of Elders.
Another hour passed, and
