The terrifying fog of the mysterious planet

After Ye Qiu and the female protagonists clashed with the creatures on the mysterious planet, the situation instantly became tense.

These creatures were tall, standing at four or five meters, their bodies covered in a layer of scales with a metallic sheen. Their heads resembled insects, their compound eyes flickering with an eerie red light, and their movements were agile yet filled with power.

"Everyone be careful, these guys don't look easy to deal with." Ye Qiu's expression was grave. While shielding the Four Heroines behind him, he activated the show-off system.

He crossed his arms over his chest, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly, his eyes filled with disdain as he shouted, "Do you alien creatures really think you can provoke us?"

"Congratulations to the host, you have successfully performed a show-off, gaining 60 points of prestige value." The System's notification sound echoed in Ye Qiu's mind.

The alien creatures seemed to understand Ye Qiu's provocation, emitting a sharp, ear-piercing shriek before swarming forward.

Ye Qiu's figure flashed, and he instantly appeared in the midst of the enemy swarm.

He circulated his Star Power, his entire body radiating a brilliant light, and every strike carried the force of a landslide.

With a single punch, he sent an alien creature flying; it slammed into a distant rock with a dull thud and stopped moving.

the female protagonists were not to be outdone and unleashed their own ultimate techniques.

Zi Li manipulated the Water Element, forming massive water tornadoes in mid-air that swept up the approaching alien creatures.

Qian Xue's dark Sword Qi crisscrossed like black lightning, weaving through the enemy swarm; wherever it passed, the alien creatures were injured.

Lia cast wind magic, the fierce gales howling as they blew some of the alien creatures off balance.

Xiao Meng remained in the back, casting healing and buff spells on everyone to ensure they maintained their optimal condition.

However, as the battle progressed, Ye Qiu noticed that these alien creatures seemed to share some sort of mysterious connection.

Whenever an alien creature was defeated, the attacks of the others became even more frantic, and their wounds would heal rapidly, as if a mysterious force was repairing them.

"What's going on? These guys seem unkillable," Lia said anxiously.

Ye Qiu frowned. He activated the analysis function of the show-off system, spending some prestige value to try and find the weaknesses of these alien creatures.

After some analysis, Ye Qiu discovered that the core energy source of these alien creatures was not within their bodies, but hidden in the ground beneath their feet.

"So that's it. They rely on some kind of underground energy network to maintain their self-repair and power." Ye Qiu had a realization and shouted, "Everyone, don't be deceived by their appearance. We need to find the source of their energy and cut off their connection."

Ye Qiu unleashed "Star Domain" again, and the powerful Domain energy instantly enveloped the surrounding area.

Within the Domain, the movements of the alien creatures became sluggish, while Ye Qiu's strength was greatly enhanced.

His figure was like lightning, weaving back and forth through the enemy swarm, and every strike was precisely aimed at the ground beneath the alien creatures.

"Witness my Star Ground-Shattering Fist!" Ye Qiu roared, slamming a punch into the ground.

A powerful force erupted instantly, causing cracks to appear on the ground, and the underground energy network suffered damage.

As the energy network was damaged, the strength of the alien creatures clearly declined, and their wounds could no longer heal rapidly.

the female protagonists seized the opportunity to increase the intensity of their attacks, and for a time, the alien creatures suffered heavy casualties.

Just when everyone thought they were about to achieve victory, a thick mist suddenly surged up all around them.

The mist spread rapidly, enveloping everyone within it.

Eerie sounds echoed from within the mist, as if countless eyes were peering at them from the darkness.

"Be careful, there is something wrong with this mist," Ye Qiu said vigilantly. He held the hands of the Four Heroines tightly, gathering them around him.

In the mist, everyone's vision was severely restricted, and they could only see a few meters around them.

Suddenly, a giant tentacle reached out from the mist, grabbing toward Xiao Meng.

"Xiao Meng!" Ye Qiu shouted. He struck instantly, his Star Power transforming into a beam of light that severed the tentacle.

The tentacle fell to the ground, still writhing continuously and emitting a pungent odor.

However, this was only the beginning. More and more tentacles reached out from the mist, attacking the group.

These tentacles were extremely fast and possessed astonishing strength, causing the group to fall into a bitter struggle.

"What on earth are these things?" Qian Xue asked while fending off the tentacle attacks.

Ye Qiu activated the detection function of the show-off system, only to find that the System was being interfered with by the mist and could not accurately detect information about the enemy.

"No matter what they are, we cannot retreat," Ye Qiu said. He cast "Star Shield" again, tightly protecting everyone within it.

Protected by the shield, the group temporarily withstood the attacks from the tentacles. But the dangers within the mist seemed to be far more than that; from time to time, eerie figures flashed within the mist, making one's skin crawl.

"Ye Qiu, I'm a little scared," Lia said, clinging tightly to Ye Qiu's side, her voice trembling slightly.

Ye Qiu gently patted Lia's shoulder. "Don't be afraid. With me here, I won't let any of you get hurt." Although he said this, he was also extremely vigilant in his heart. This mysterious mist and the unknown, terrifying creatures made him feel unprecedented pressure.

"Hmph, I'd like to see what secrets are hidden in this mist." Ye Qiu activated Show-off Mode, and the Star Power on his body shone brightly, illuminating the surrounding area.

"Congratulations to the host, you have successfully performed a show-off, gaining 80 points of prestige value." The System's notification sound rang out.

Under the illumination of the light, the group could barely see some of their surroundings. They discovered they were in a huge circular area, with the ground around them carved with strange runes. The runes flickered with a faint light and seemed to have some connection to the dangers in the mist.

"These runes seem to be maintaining the existence of this mist and the monsters," Ye Qiu said. He decided to risk approaching the runes to see if he could find a way to break them.

As Ye Qiu approached the runes, the tentacles in the mist suddenly became even more frantic, attacking him violently. Ye Qiu unleashed "Star Storm Sword," and beams of Sword Qi crisscrossed, severing the tentacles one after another.

He arrived in front of the runes and carefully observed their patterns and markings. After some study, Ye Qiu discovered that these runes were related to an ancient Formation he had previously seen in ancient texts. This kind of Formation could summon powerful evil forces and manipulate the surrounding environment.

"So that's it. We need to destroy these runes to break this bizarre situation," Ye Qiu said.

He circulated his Star Power and pressed his hands onto the runes, attempting to forcibly destroy them. However, the runes emitted a powerful rebounding force, knocking Ye Qiu back a few steps.

"Ye Qiu, are you okay?" Zi Li asked anxiously.

Ye Qiu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said, "I'm fine. The power of these runes is stronger than I imagined."

He activated the show-off system and exchanged for a skill called "Formation-Breaking Power." This skill could briefly enhance his ability to break various Formations.

"Witness my Formation-Breaking Power!" Ye Qiu arrived in front of the runes again, his body emanating a powerful aura of breaking Formations. He pressed his hands onto the runes. This time, although the rebounding force of the runes was still strong, Ye Qiu, relying on "Formation-Breaking Power," forcefully withstood the rebound and began to destroy the runes bit by bit.

As the runes were destroyed, the mist gradually dissipated, and the tentacles vanished without a trace. Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ye Qiu, you're amazing!" Xiao Meng said excitedly.

"This is just a small matter," Ye Qiu said with a smile. He had successfully performed a show-off once again, gaining a certain amount of prestige value.

However, when the mist had completely dissipated, they discovered they were in a huge underground ruin. The walls of the ruins were carved with various terrifying images, depicting strange creatures and bloody sacrificial scenes.

"This place looks so terrifying. I have a feeling something bad is about to happen," Qian Xue said, frowning.

Ye Qiu nodded. His intuition told him that huge secrets and dangers were hidden here.

They continued to explore the ruins and discovered a massive stone door. The stone door was carved with some ancient characters and patterns. Relying on his knowledge of ancient characters, Ye Qiu barely managed to decipher the text on it: "Awakening the sleeping evil will inevitably bring destruction."

"What exactly is hidden behind this stone door?" Lia asked.

Ye Qiu did not answer; he carefully pushed open the stone door. The stone door opened slowly, and a pungent odor rushed toward them. Inside the door was a huge space, with a massive stone coffin placed in the center.

The stone coffin was covered with runes and mysterious symbols, the runes flickering with an eerie light. Various strange artifacts were placed around the stone coffin, and these artifacts emitted an evil aura.

"It seems like there is something in this stone coffin," Ye Qiu said, a sense of foreboding rising in his heart.

Just then, the stone coffin suddenly emitted a violent vibration, and the light of the runes on it shone brightly. Immediately after, the lid of the stone coffin slowly opened, and a powerful evil force surged out from it.

A huge figure slowly stood up from the stone coffin. The figure resembled a human, but it had huge wings and sharp claws. Its eyes flickered with blood-red light, and it emitted a suffocatingly evil aura from its body.

"You tiny creatures, how dare you disturb my slumber." A low and evil voice echoed in everyone's ears.

Ye Qiu's figure flashed, moving like lightning to stand in front of the Four Heroines. His tall and upright figure was like an unbreakable mountain, steadily shielding them behind him. At this moment, Ye Qiu's face was full of determination, and his deep, bright eyes flashed with a resolute light, as if nothing could shake his resolve to protect his companions.

He held his head high, staring fearlessly at the figure in front of him that exuded an evil aura, and shouted righteously, "No matter what kind of monster or demon you are, today you shall not harm those behind me in the slightest!" The voice exploded in the air like thunder, echoing endlessly.

Hearing Ye Qiu's tough words, the evil figure could not help but let out a cold snort. Its face, shrouded in shadow, revealed a trace of ferocity and disdain, and it sneered, "Haha, truly a bunch of ignorant ants who don't know the height of the sky and the depth of the earth! You actually dare to try to stop my footsteps? You will surely pay a heavy price for this foolish behavior!"

Before its words had finished, the evil figure suddenly spread its huge black wings and flapped them forcefully. In an instant, a gale howled, and sand and stones flew. Accompanied by a powerful impact, it rushed toward the group at an astonishing speed like a meteor, and wherever it passed, the air seemed to be torn apart, emitting sharp, explosive sounds.
