The Gentle Trap of a Weird Planet
After successfully repelling the dark battleship fleet, Ye Qiu and his party continued to drift and explore the Universe.
After one Space Jump, they arrived at a planet emitting a mysterious, eerie light.
This planet was shrouded in a thick layer of mist, and looking out from the spaceship's observation window, one could only see the faint, indistinct outlines of strange terrain, as if it were hiding countless unknown secrets.
"The energy fluctuations of this planet are very strange; it seems some unknown force is interfering with our detection," Flame Princess said, staring intently at the spaceship's detector with a furrowed brow.
Ye Qiu nodded; his intuition told him that this planet was full of danger, but it also held opportunities that could not be ignored.
"We will go down and take a look, but we must be careful."
Everyone boarded a small landing craft and slowly descended onto this mysterious planet.
Upon exiting the landing craft, they were enveloped by a damp and chilly atmosphere.
The surrounding vegetation was a strange purple, with unknown mucus flowing on the leaves, emitting a hair-raising "hissing" sound.
"This place is so eerie..." The newly joined loli, Xiao Meng, clutched tightly at the corner of Ye Qiu's clothes. She had a pair of watery, large eyes, a petite nose and mouth, and pink shoulder-length hair that looked playful and cute, but her face was currently full of terror.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here," Ye Qiu comforted her softly, his gaze scanning the surroundings vigilantly.
The mature woman, Qian Xue, crossed her arms, her eyes calm: "Everyone, stay alert; this place feels wrong."
Qian Xue had a tall figure, with long black hair cascading down her full shoulders like a waterfall. Her deep eyes revealed a mature charm, and every gesture she made exuded captivating allure.
They proceeded along a winding path, the surrounding mist becoming thicker and thicker, with visibility extremely low.
Suddenly, a melodious singing voice came from the distance.
This singing was ethereal and beautiful, as if it possessed an invisible magic that made people want to approach it involuntarily.
"This singing..." Zi Li's eyes were somewhat hazy, and she walked unconsciously in the direction the singing was coming from.
"Zi Li!" Ye Qiu hurriedly pulled Zi Li back; he realized that this singing might hide danger.
However, the singing became clearer and clearer, as if it were summoning them.
"Brother, come here..." Xiao Meng's eyes also became somewhat trance-like, and she murmured to herself.
Ye Qiu was startled and channeled his Star Power, attempting to dispel this hallucinogenic force.
"Everyone, wake up; there is something wrong with this singing!"
Just then, a woman dressed in a white gauze dress appeared in front of them.
Her face was stunningly beautiful, her skin was whiter than snow, and her eyes revealed endless gentleness.
"You have finally arrived..." the woman said softly, her voice like the music of heaven.
"Who are you?" Ye Qiu asked vigilantly, gripping his star dawn sword tightly.
The woman smiled slightly: "My name is Meng Li, and I am the Guardian of this planet. It is very dangerous here; come with me, and I will take you to a safe place."
Qian Xue looked at Meng Li coldly: "Why should we trust you?"
A hint of grievance flashed in Meng Li's eyes: "I have no ill intentions; I just cannot bear to see you fall into danger."
Xiao Meng tugged at Ye Qiu's hand: "Brother, she doesn't look like a bad person."
Ye Qiu hesitated for a moment, but ultimately decided to follow Meng Li.
They followed Meng Li through a dense purple forest and arrived in front of a magnificent palace.
The palace emitted a soft light, forming a stark contrast with the eerie environment around it.
"Please come in; it is very safe here," Meng Li said with a smile, her smile intoxicating and mesmerizing.
Everyone entered the palace, and the interior was decorated magnificently.
Crystal chandeliers emitted brilliant light, and the soft carpet made people feel as if they were stepping on clouds.
Meng Li led them to a hall, which was filled with exquisite food and wine.
"You must be tired; eat something and rest first," Meng Li said.
Xiao Meng's eyes lit up instantly: "Wow, it looks so delicious!"
Although Zi Li and Qian Xue still had doubts in their hearts, they gradually relaxed their vigilance in this warm atmosphere.
Ye Qiu, however, remained vigilant; he always felt that everything was too smooth, and there seemed to be some conspiracy hidden behind it.
However, under the temptation of the food and Meng Li's gentle persuasion, Ye Qiu couldn't help but relax a little.
He ate some food and drank a sip of wine, immediately feeling a warm current surge into his heart.
"Brother, it's so comfortable here..." Xiao Meng leaned against Ye Qiu, her face beaming with a happy smile.
Qian Xue also closed her eyes slightly, enjoying this moment of tranquility.
Zi Li watched Ye Qiu quietly, her eyes full of love.
Just then, the palace doors suddenly closed, and the surrounding environment began to change.
The crystal chandeliers flickered, emitting an eerie light, and cracks appeared on the soft carpet, from which black liquid seeped out.
"Not good, we have been tricked!" Ye Qiu stood up immediately; he tried to wake everyone, but found that they had all fallen into a hallucinogenic state and could not wake up.
Meng Li's face also changed, her originally gentle eyes becoming eerie and terrifying.
"You stupid fools, do you think this is heaven? This is your grave!"
Ye Qiu glared at Meng Li: "Who exactly are you? Why do you want to deceive us?"
Meng Li let out a sharp laugh: "I am the evil Soul of this planet, specializing in seducing outsiders and devouring their Souls to enhance my own power. You cannot escape today!"
As she spoke, countless black tentacles surged from around Meng Li's body, pouncing toward Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu hurriedly unleashed the God-Tier Star Guardian Shield, blocking the tentacles outside.
"Hmph, just relying on this shield of yours, how long can you last?" Meng Li sneered, increasing the intensity of her attack. The black tentacles constantly struck the shield, making "bang bang" sounds.
Ye Qiu knew well that he could not sit and wait for death; while maintaining the shield, he searched for Meng Li's weakness.
He activated the Eye of Insight to carefully observe Meng Li's body structure.
After some observation, Ye Qiu discovered a tiny bright spot in the area of Meng Li's heart; that should be her weakness.
"Do you think I cannot find your weakness?" Ye Qiu said. He unleashed the Star Rending Void Step, instantly appearing in front of Meng Li, and thrust the star dawn sword toward her heart.
Meng Li did not expect Ye Qiu to find her weakness in such a difficult situation; she hurriedly dodged, but was still scratched on the arm by the sword.
Black blood flowed down from her arm, emitting a pungent odor.
"You dare to hurt me!" Meng Li roared in anger, and a layer of black mist appeared around her body, wrapping her up.
Ye Qiu launched another attack, but the mist blocked his vision, making it impossible for him to accurately locate Meng Li.
"Damn it!" Ye Qiu thought bitterly; he knew that if he could not resolve Meng Li as soon as possible, the consequences would be unimaginable once the effect of the drug took hold on everyone.
Just then, Ye Qiu suddenly thought of the power of the light holy crystal.
He took out the light holy crystal and released the light power.
The light power, like a dazzling ray of light, instantly pierced through the black mist.
Meng Li let out a scream, her body beginning to tremble under the illumination of the light power. "No, don't..."
Ye Qiu seized the opportunity to launch his strongest attack, "Chaos Light Β· Star World Annihilation Slash"! A powerful Sword Qi, carrying the power of light and Star Power, directly struck Meng Li's heart.
Meng Li's body gradually dissipated under the impact of the Sword Qi, leaving only a shrill scream echoing in the palace.
Following Meng Li's disappearance, the palace environment gradually returned to normal.
Ye Qiu hurriedly woke everyone up, and they all sobered up from their hallucinogenic state.
"Brother, it was so scary just now..." Xiao Meng threw herself into Ye Qiu's arms, her eyes filled with tears.
"It's okay now, it's all over," Ye Qiu comforted.
Qian Xue looked at Ye Qiu, her eyes filled with admiration: "Thanks to you this time, otherwise we would all have been in danger."
Zi Li also walked over and held Ye Qiu's hand tightly: "We must be more careful in the future."
After this crisis, everyone was even more vigilant about this planet.
They continued to explore the planet, hoping to find a way to leave.
In the basement of the palace, they discovered a huge teleportation array.
The teleportation array was engraved with ancient runes, emitting mysterious energy fluctuations.
"This should be the key to leaving this planet," Ye Qiu said, carefully studying the runes of the teleportation array.
After some effort, Ye Qiu finally found the method to activate the teleportation array.
He gathered everyone together, preparing to activate the teleportation array and leave this dangerous planet.
Just as the teleportation array was about to activate, countless terrifying creatures suddenly swarmed out from all directions.
These creatures had various forms; some were like giant spiders, others like humanoid monsters. Their eyes flashed with blood-red light as they pounced toward the group.
"It seems we have to have a big fight again!" Ye Qiu said, raising his star dawn sword high, his body emitting a powerful aura of battle.
"Everyone, attack together!" Zi Li shouted, unleashing the power of the Water Element to form a water shield around the group.
Qian Xue was not to be outdone; a black longsword appeared in her hand. Her swordsmanship was fierce, and every swing of her sword could kill a terrifying creature.
Xiao Meng unleashed her unique magic, pink light shooting from her hands to freeze some of the terrifying creatures in place.
A thrilling and extremely tragic fierce battle unfolded between the group and the terrifying creatures!
On the battlefield, the sounds of killing shook the heavens and the earth, and the smell of blood permeated the surroundings.
In this battle, Ye Qiu displayed a heroic posture that surpassed ordinary people!
He was seen holding that divine Sharp Weapon named "star dawn sword", his figure moving freely among the group of terrifying creatures like a ghost.
The sword in his hand was like a bolt of lightning tearing through the night sky, weaving and flying through the enemy ranks with lightning speed.
Every time Ye Qiu swung his sword, it brought up a fierce storm of Sword Qi, and wherever it passed, those terrifying creatures were cut down one after another, instantly reaping a large number of lives.
Blood splattered, and severed limbs flew everywhere, but Ye Qiu was completely fearless, charging forward bravely.
"You ugly and evil monsters, today is your doom! I, Ye Qiu, will definitely eradicate you completely and return peace to the world!"
Ye Qiu's eyes widened in anger, and he let out a roar, his voice sounding like a thunderclap, shaking people's hearts.
