Fierce battles in ruins and warships setting sail

Ye Qiu looked at the Mechanical Beasts, his eyes showing no trace of fear: "Everyone, don't be afraid; this is just a paper tiger."

The System prompt sounded at the right moment: "host successfully gained prestige value, showing no fear when facing the powerful Mechanical Beasts, prestige value + 1500."

As he spoke, Ye Qiu unleashed the Star Rending Void Step and instantly rushed toward the Mechanical Beasts.

His figure weaved around the Mechanical Beasts like lightning, attempting to find their weak points.

The Mechanical Beasts noticed Ye Qiu's attack, turned their massive bodies, and fired their weapons at him.

Beams of laser and energy cannonballs shot toward Ye Qiu, who dodged flexibly, narrowly avoiding the attacks every time.

"Ye Qiu, watch out!" Zi Li shouted anxiously from the rear. She quickly formed hand seals, and Water Element condensed in her hands into a giant Water Dragon.

The Water Dragon roared and charged at the Mechanical Beasts, attempting to disrupt their attacks.

Qian Xue was not to be outdone; her black longsword flickered with an eerie light as she unleashed a powerful Darkness Power skill.

Black energy ripples surged toward the Mechanical Beasts, attempting to weaken their defense.

Xiao Meng fully unleashed her pink magic from the rear, the magical light enveloping the Mechanical Beasts, causing their movements to slow down.

Serena and Vivian also unleashed their own unique skills.

A layer of mysterious energy surrounded Serena's body; she injected this energy into the ground, forming energy spikes that pierced toward the Mechanical Beasts; Vivian used her own mysterious energy to interfere with the internal Systems of the Mechanical Beasts, causing their weapon firing to become chaotic.

Alice observed the movements of the Mechanical Beasts from the side and discovered that the protection at their leg joints was relatively weak.

"Ye Qiu, attack their leg joints!" Alice shouted loudly.

Hearing Alice's reminder, Ye Qiu immediately changed his tactics.

He unleashed the Star Rending Void Step again, instantly appearing at the leg of the Mechanical Beasts, and slashed down hard with the star dawn sword.

A powerful Sword Qi slashed onto the leg joint of the Mechanical Beasts, sending sparks flying.

The Mechanical Beasts let out a roar; after their legs were attacked, their bodies swayed.

But they quickly adjusted and attacked the group with even more ferocity.

"Everyone, focus your fire on their legs!" Ye Qiu shouted.

Everyone focused their attacks on the leg joints of the Mechanical Beasts.

Zi Li's Water Dragon continuously impacted the joint areas, Qian Xue's black longsword stabbed there repeatedly, Xiao Meng's magic made the metal at the joints brittle, and the attacks from Serena and Vivian also caused varying degrees of damage to the legs of the Mechanical Beasts.

Under the combined attacks of everyone, the leg joints of the Mechanical Beasts finally could not bear it, and with a "crack", they snapped.

The massive bodies of the Mechanical Beasts lost balance and crashed to the ground.

"We did it!" Everyone cheered excitedly.

System prompt: "host led the team to successfully defeat the powerful Mechanical Beasts, prestige value + 2500."

After dealing with the Mechanical Beasts, the group began searching the ruins for the energy crystal needed to start the warship.

After some searching, they found the energy crystal in a hidden room.

Ye Qiu placed the energy crystal into the warship's starting device, and the warship's core System began to start up.

Accompanied by a low roar, the warship's lights gradually turned on, and various instruments began to operate.

"Successfully started!" Ye Qiu said excitedly.

Everyone boarded the warship and began to familiarize themselves with its operation.

The Black-Robed Figure had some understanding of this kind of ancient warship and guided everyone from the side.

"The Energy Shield and weapon Systems of this warship are very powerful and should be able to break through the energy barrier of Shadow Star," the Black-Robed Figure said.

Under the guidance of the Black-Robed Figure, Ye Qiu mastered the driving skills of the warship.

He piloted the warship and slowly left the ruins.

While leaving the ruins, they discovered some mysterious figures appearing around the ruins.

These figures wore black robes with their faces covered, and they fired mysterious energy attacks toward the warship.

"Who are these people? Why are they attacking us?" Xiao Meng asked.

Ye Qiu controlled the warship to dodge the attacks while saying: "I don't know, but it must be related to the Mysterious Organization. Everyone, prepare to counterattack!"

The weapon Systems on the warship began to operate, and powerful energy beams shot toward the Mysterious Person.

The Mysterious Person dodged one after another under the attack of the energy beams.

"Their strength is not weak; everyone, be careful," Ye Qiu said.

Zi Li, Qian Xue, and others also unleashed their skills from the warship, attacking the Mysterious Person.

For a time, lights flickered around the ruins, and the battle was extremely fierce.

During the battle, Ye Qiu discovered that the attack methods of these Mysterious Person were somewhat similar to the Black-Robed Figure of the Mysterious Organization.

"These people must have been sent by the Mysterious Organization to stop us from obtaining the warship," Ye Qiu said.

After a fierce battle, the Mysterious Person could finally no longer withstand the warship's attacks and retreated one after another.

"Phew, finally got rid of them," Serena breathed a sigh of relief.

Ye Qiu piloted the warship and headed toward Shadow Star.

During the voyage, everyone had an in-depth discussion about the situation of Shadow Star.

"According to what the wise man said, Shadow Star is shrouded in Darkness Power; we might encounter many dangers when we arrive there," Qian Xue said.

Ye Qiu nodded: "That's right, everyone must be fully prepared. We not only have to face the Mysterious Organization but also deal with the various dangers on Shadow Star."

"Brother, Xiao Meng is not afraid of danger; Xiao Meng will always support you," Xiao Meng said firmly.

Zi Li looked at Ye Qiu, her eyes full of love: "No matter what difficulties we encounter, we will face them together."

Alice also looked at Ye Qiu, her eyes revealing a trace of firmness: "I will also do my best to help everyone."

With everyone's mutual encouragement, the warship gradually approached Shadow Star.

When they approached Shadow Star, they indeed saw a powerful energy barrier.

The energy barrier emitted a black light, and mysterious energy patterns flowed on it.

"This energy barrier looks very powerful; we must be careful," Ye Qiu said.

He activated the warship's Energy Shield and then piloted the warship to charge toward the energy barrier.

When the warship made contact with the energy barrier, a powerful force came, and the warship shook violently.

"Everyone, hold on!" Ye Qiu shouted, increasing the warship's energy output, attempting to break through the energy barrier.

The energy barrier and the warship's Energy Shield collided, emitting a dazzling light.

During the fierce collision, the warship's Energy Shield showed some fluctuations.

"This is not a solution; we must find the weak point of the energy barrier," Vivian said.

Ye Qiu nodded, activated the warship's detection System, and scanned the energy barrier.

After some scanning, they discovered that the energy fluctuation in a certain area of the energy barrier was relatively weak.

"That's it; let's focus our fire on that area," Ye Qiu said.

The warship adjusted its direction, focusing all weapon Systems on that area.

Powerful energy beams and cannonballs shot toward the energy barrier, and cracks began to appear in that area of the energy barrier.

"Keep attacking!" Ye Qiu shouted.

Under the continuous attacks of everyone, the cracks in the energy barrier became larger and larger.

Finally, with a loud "boom," the energy barrier was successfully broken through.

"We successfully broke through the energy barrier!" Everyone cheered excitedly.

The warship successfully entered the atmosphere of Shadow Star.

The surface of Shadow Star was pitch black, filled with a thick aura of Darkness Power.

The ground was covered with various strange buildings and twisted landscapes.

"The environment here is so oppressive," Zi Li said.

Ye Qiu nodded: "Everyone, stay vigilant; the Mysterious Organization might be nearby."

They piloted the warship to search on Shadow Star and soon discovered a huge black castle.

Many Black-Robed Figures from the Mysterious Organization were patrolling around the castle.

"That should be the stronghold of the Mysterious Organization," Ye Qiu said.

He piloted the warship and flew toward the castle.

When the warship approached the castle, the castle's defense System activated, and black energy beams shot toward the warship.

"Everyone, prepare to defend!" Ye Qiu shouted, controlling the warship's Energy Shield to resist the attacks of the black energy beams.

At the same time, the warship's weapon Systems began to counterattack, and powerful energy cannonballs shot toward the castle.

The castle's defense System and the warship launched a fierce exchange of attacks.

During the battle, Ye Qiu discovered that the castle's defense System was very powerful, and it was difficult to break through with simple attacks.

"We cannot fight head-on like this; we must find a way to infiltrate the castle," Ye Qiu said.

He controlled the warship to look for a place around the castle to infiltrate.

Finally, they discovered that the defense at one corner of the castle was relatively weak.

Ye Qiu piloted the warship to approach that corner and then lowered a small landing craft.

"Alice, the Black-Robed Figure, and I will go down to scout the situation first; you stay on the warship and wait for orders," Ye Qiu said.

Zi Li looked at Ye Qiu with some worry: "You must be careful."

Ye Qiu nodded: "Don't worry, I'll be fine."

Ye Qiu, Alice, and the Black-Robed Figure boarded the small landing craft and headed toward the corner of the castle.

When approaching the castle, they avoided the patrolling Black-Robed Figures and successfully landed on the outer wall of the castle.

They carefully entered the castle; the interior of the castle was dark and humid, filled with a foul smell.

The walls were hung with various strange portraits, and the content in the paintings made one's hair stand on end.

"It feels so eerie here," Alice said softly.

Ye Qiu nodded: "Everyone be careful, don't make too much noise."

They walked along a corridor and suddenly heard low conversation coming from ahead.

Ye Qiu carefully made a gesture to everyone, signaling them to stop for a moment.

Then, like a ghost, he tiptoed slowly toward the direction of the two Black-Robed Figures ahead.

When he was close enough, Ye Qiu held his breath and focused, pricking up his ears to listen carefully to the conversation between the two.

He heard one of the Black-Robed Figures lower his voice and say: "The leader has already started preparing for that crucial ceremony."

As long as this ceremony is successfully completed, we will be able to completely control that powerful power capable of destroying the heavens and the earth, and shaking the Universe!

By then, the entire Universe will become our possession, left for us to be the Dominator and rule!"

The other Black-Robed Figure echoed: "What you said is very true! It's just that I heard there are a group of reckless guys attempting to obstruct our grand plan."

I don't know what the situation of these people who overestimate themselves is at this moment?"

The Black-Robed Figure who spoke earlier snorted coldly and responded disdainfully: "Hmph! Who cares about their current situation!"

With their meager Dao, how could they stop our pace of advancement? It's simply wishful thinking!"
