118: Purification Society: Begins Formation

"Haha, I get it!"

Seeing Lin Xingyu find the Sandstone Giant's weakness, Wang Chiyao immediately became excited.

She switched her weapon to a rocket launcher and fired a shot at the Sandstone Giant's left chest.

Li Hongyang, controlling his Black Plume Eagle, swooped down, leaped off the eagle as he neared the Sandstone Giant, and smashed his dragon spine staff into the Sandstone Giant's left chest.

Wang Ledian didn't rush forward; he lacked powerful attack skills and stayed behind to buff the others...

After grasping the Sandstone Giant's weakness, combat efficiency greatly improved.

Working together seamlessly, they quickly dealt with the remaining Sandstone Giants.

The Sandstone Giants had a high drop rate, leaving behind a large number of spirit crystals and spirit seeds, as well as those cyan crystal fragments.

Everyone collected these spoils of war.

After dying, the Sandstone Giants left no corpses, only a pile of sand where they stood.

"These big guys look intimidating, but they're pitifully weak; they crumble to dust with a touch!"

Wang Chiyao kicked the sand at her feet, a little disappointed.

They primarily killed monsters for their corpses; what good was a pile of sand?

"Let's see if this can generate evolution fruit?"

Lin Xingyu picked up a few crystal fragments and threw them to the World Tree.

The System panel showed that these crystals were the Sandstone Giant's true body.

The sand was merely an outer attachment.

As soon as the crystals touched the World Tree's roots, they were decomposed and absorbed by an invisible force.

Immediately after, evolution fruit appeared on the World Tree's branches again.

"It really works! Quickly throw all these crystals to the World Tree!"

Lin Xingyu's face lit up with joy.

"Haha, I told you we wouldn't be busy for nothing!"

"We can level up again!"

Everyone was overjoyed, carrying crystals into their Inner Worlds...

As they continuously consumed the evolution fruit, System prompts sounded in Lin Xingyu's mind.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have advanced to Tier 3, Nine Stars!"

Wang Ledian and the others also leveled up, reaching Tier 3, Four Stars.

"Let's go, we'll continue to look for those big rocks!"

"Right, the large rocks are big targets and easy to spot!"

...After leveling up, everyone was full of fighting spirit, teleporting outside to continue hunting Sandstone Giants.

Just then, the ground suddenly vibrated violently.

The sand jumped up and down like boiling water, making a "rustling" sound.

"Look, there's something over there!"

Wang Ledian steadied himself and pointed into the distance, shouting.

A hundred meters away, a huge sand dune was rapidly rising on the sandy ground.

The sand dune moved towards them, leaving a deep furrow behind it.

The next moment, a giant sand worm burst out of the ground, opening its gaping maw and lunging at them.

"Be careful!"

Lin Xingyu shouted, summoning his star ray shuttle, which flew towards the sand worm.

Wang Ledian also held his shield, blocking in front of everyone.

"Haha, another one delivering itself to us!"

Wang Chiyao hoisted her gatling gun and unleashed a barrage of shots at the sand worm.

Under the combined assault of several people, the sand worm quickly died.

However, before they could catch their breath...

The ground vibrated violently again, the tremor even stronger than before.

A large number of sand worms surged from underground, attacking them.

"Here they come again, here they come again!"

Wang Chiyao was exceptionally excited, waving her hand to summon a large number of Puppets.

"Haha, this time I'm going to kill to my heart's content!"

"Stay away from me, I'm about to unleash a big move!"

Seeing so many sand worms, everyone was also happy, rushing forward to engage in fierce battle with the sand worms...

At the same time...

In Secret Realm No. 3688, within a valley.

Members of the World Purifying Society were gathering here.

Large quantities of Materials for setting up formations were piled in the valley, all transported in gradually over this period.

The most crucial Formation Plate was provided by the Three-Eyed God Clan.

It was currently stored in the space ring of their leader, Chen Jiu.

"Boss, the Materials are ready, can we start?"

A subordinate leaned over and asked in a low voice.

"Wait a little longer, start when the Genius Group arrives!"

Chen Jiu shook his head.

He had to confirm the Genius Group's arrival before beginning to inscribe the spirit formation.

If something went wrong with the Genius Group, they could stop in time.

After all, these Materials were very precious, many of them transported from the Three-Eyed Clan World, and could not be easily wasted.

An accident had happened with the Genius Group last time, which made him have to be more cautious.

With everything ready, everyone waited in place.

No accidents occurred this time; at the appointed time, the Genius Group arrived safely under the escort of the World Purifying Society.

"Begin setting up the formation!"

Seeing the Genius Group arrive safely, Chen Jiu breathed a sigh of relief.

However, they did not know that...

On a tree not far from them, a shadow sparrow was quietly observing all of this...

Outside the valley, in a patch of grass.

Several figures were lurking there.

One of them had his eyes closed, communicating with his beast.

His beast was a shadow sparrow; although it had no combat power, it was very suitable for reconnaissance.

"There are quite a few people from the World Purifying Society, they're probably performing some kind of ritual!"

"Immediately report the situation; the enemy's scale exceeds expectations, we need more support!"

...At the Spiritual Energy Research Institute headquarters, in a secluded small courtyard.

Director Ye Linyuan frowned, carefully examining the documents in his hand.

"Has the information been reported to the Federation?"

Ye Linyuan rubbed his temples, looking at his subordinate outside the barrier.

Starfall City had not been peaceful lately.

First, the Dragon Clan appeared, followed by two Secret Realms disappearing consecutively.

He had just carefully read Gongsun Ye's report.

It had to be said that Gongsun Ye's speculation was very reasonable.

The disappearance of Secret Realms was unprecedented, yet it happened consecutively after the Dragon Clan appeared.

Outside the barrier, the subordinate swallowed his saliva and quickly replied:

"It has been reported; the Federation is currently evaluating it!"

He eagerly looked at the bodhi tree inside the barrier, wiping the drool from the corner of his mouth.

The Director's vigilance was growing stronger, giving him no chance to get close to the bodhi tree.

Now there was even a barrier!

Looking at the bodhi fruit covering the tree, his heart felt like it was being scratched by a cat.

"Did the team we sent out earlier have any success?"

Ye Linyuan looked at his subordinate's helpless expression, very satisfied.

It seemed this barrier wasn't for nothing!

"No!"

The subordinate shook his head dejectedly.

That team had been investigating the area near Starfall City but had found nothing so far.

"Have them go to Secret Realm No. 4399 to replace Gongsun Ye's work; the investigation of that area will be handled by Gongsun Ye!"

After pondering for a moment, Ye Linyuan issued the order.

Since Gongsun Ye had considerable insight into this matter, it would be better to let him investigate.

Moreover, the job swap was also proposed by Gongsun Ye himself.

It was said that Situ Jing had recently been running around outside Secret Realm No. 4399, causing Gongsun Ye quite a bit of trouble.

"Yes, Director!"

The subordinate took his leave...
