119: This time we need to capture them alive.

Secret Realm No. 3688.

The sky-high yellow sand gradually subsided.

As the last Sandworm fell, Lin Xingyu and the others' battle with the Sandworms came to an end.

“Phew, finally done!”

Wang Chiyao removed her mech suit, wiped the sweat from her face, and the excitement had not yet faded.

Fighting these giant creatures was incredibly exhilarating!

“These guys are so big, they must produce a lot of evolution fruit!”

Wang Ledian sat on the ground, examining the Sandworm corpses nearby.

These Sandworms were treasures; not only were they huge, but their drop rate was also surprisingly high.

Almost every single one dropped spirit crystals.

Li Hongyang didn't speak, silently walking to the side and beginning to clear the battlefield.

“I say, Old Ape, can't you rest for a bit?”

Seeing Li Hongyang's actions, Wang Ledian couldn't help but complain.

The battle had just ended, and everyone hadn't even caught their breath.

This guy was too much of a try-hard!

Being with him always gave a strange sense of urgency.

“Let's go, we'll also clear the battlefield!”

Influenced by Li Hongyang, the others also gave up resting and joined the ranks of clearing the battlefield.

They carefully collected the spirit crystals and spirit seeds.

They cut out the useful Materials from the Sandworm corpses, and the rest were thrown to the World Tree to devour.

After a period of busy work, the battlefield was finally cleared.

“Time to call it a day, time to call it a day!”

“It's time to eat the evolution fruit!”

“I want to level up, leveling up makes me happy!”

Wang Ledian and the others cheered, eagerly rushing into their Inner World, heading towards their respective courtyards... By the time Lin Xingyu came back to his senses, he was the only one left.

“These guys...”

He shook his head and smiled, then also entered his Inner World.

At this moment, a large number of evolution fruits had already grown on the World Tree.

Lin Xingyu came to the World Tree and began to consume the evolution fruit.

Halfway through eating, the System's notification sound rang in his mind.

“Ding! Congratulations, host, for reaching the Peak of Tier 3 Nine-Star!”

He was only one step away from Breaking Through to Tier 4!

Now everything was ready, all that was missing was the “secret realm core”!

Lin Xingyu didn't stop, continuing to devour the evolution fruit to strengthen his genes.

As the last evolution fruit went down, his gene value increased to 457.

A crackling sound rang out, and Qi waves surged around him.

“Invigorating!”

Lin Xingyu stretched his body, feeling the surging power within him, and couldn't help but reveal a satisfied smile.

On the other side, Wang Ledian and the others had also Broken Through to Tier 3 Five-Star.

After some mutual boasting, everyone went outside to continue searching for beast groups... High in the sky, a few people advanced in one direction.

During this time, they dealt with several waves of Sandstone Giants, finally leaving the desert area.

“Phew! We finally left that cursed place!”

Looking at the greenery appearing below, Wang Chiyao couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

The environment in the desert was too harsh.

As a girl, she really didn't like that kind of environment.

There was no vitality at all!

“This is much more comfortable!”

Wang Ledian also agreed.

Wang Chiyao and Lin Xingyu were fine, both using ranged attacks.

Melee fighters like him suffered, always getting

dusty and dirty

after every battle.

This lowered his cool factor by more than one notch.

“Boss, something's happening over there!”

Just then, Li Hongyang suddenly pointed at a distant valley and shouted.

Everyone looked in the direction he was pointing and indeed saw a large number of black dots gathered there.

Li Hongyang's eyesight was really good; he could see that far.

“Let's go, let's check it out!”

Everyone urged their mounts, changed direction, and flew towards the valley... In the valley, the members of the Dark Ruins had already assembled.

At this moment, they were launching an attack on the World Purifying Society's team.

“Enemy attack!!!”

“It's the Dark Ruins people! Damn it, how did they get here?”

The World Purifying Society's spirit Formation was only half-etched when they were suddenly attacked, immediately falling into chaos.

“Steady! Don't panic!”

“Put away the Materials and cover the Genius Group's retreat!”

Chen Jiu's voice rang out in the chaotic battlefield.

Now they were outnumbered, and couldn't fight head-on.

This mission was a bust; what he needed to do was minimize losses as much as possible.

Chen Jiu's voice gradually calmed the World Purifying Society members.

They put away their Formation Materials, formed a defensive Formation, and covered the Genius Group's retreat.

However, they hadn't retreated far.

A large number of Black Robed Men suddenly attacked from the side, cutting off their escape route.

“Brother Chen, long time no see!”

As the voice rang out, the crowd automatically parted, and a burly man in black armor slowly walked out.

This person was the leader of the Dark Ruins' current operation: Black Profound.

“We've always kept to ourselves; are you trying to provoke a conflict between our two great powers?”

Chen Jiu's expression was grim, and he signaled his subordinates to form a defensive Formation.

At the same time, he looked around, searching for the enemy's weak point, preparing to break out when the opportunity arose.

“Haha, we are professionals; we won't leave any traces!”

Black Profound's face showed a mocking expression.

He waved his hand, and his subordinates quickly tightened the encirclement, completely blocking the opponent's retreat.

“Actually, we don't need to fight to the death.”

Seeing that the opponent had nowhere to escape, Black Profound changed his tone and began to persuade them to surrender.

“You can join the Dark Ruins, and I guarantee that your treatment in the Dark Ruins will not be worse than before!”

Chen Jiu and his group were quite numerous; if they resisted to the death, it would cause significant losses to the Dark Ruins.

If they could be subdued without bloodshed, that would naturally be best.

“That sounds nice, but isn't it just about signing a Slave contract?”

Chen Jiu's expression grew even more grim.

He knew the Dark Ruins' way of doing things; after surrendering, they would definitely have to sign a Slave contract.

That way, their lives would be in the opponent's hands.

But if they didn't surrender... “I'll give you ten minutes to consider!”

Seeing Chen Jiu hesitate, Black Profound said no more, quietly waiting... On the other side, Lin Xingyu and his group had already arrived near the battlefield.

“This is...”

Lin Xingyu saw the Formation on the ground and was suddenly stunned.

This Formation was exactly the same as the Formation he encountered last time in the Trial Secret Realm!

It was through that Formation last time that the System captured the aura of the “secret realm core”.

It was just that this Formation was only half-finished and couldn't be used yet.

Lin Xingyu turned his gaze to both sides.

One side was the World Purifying Society, and the other was the Dark Ruins.

From the positions of both sides, this Formation was set up by the World Purifying Society.

No wonder the World Purifying Society always said on the spirit net that they blew up the Trial Secret Realm.

“Brother Yu, should we wait for them to be mutually destructive?”

Seeing this situation, Wang Ledian was very happy.

This time, they could again reap the benefits!

“No, this time we will directly participate in the battle; the World Purifying Society members must be captured alive, they have a great use!”

Lin Xingyu shook his head.

He still needed the World Purifying Society members to etch the spirit Formation; he couldn't let them die in battle.

“Chi Yao! Summon the Puppets! Surround this place!”

“Alrighty!”

Wang Chiyao was very excited, waving her hand and beginning to summon Puppets.

Lin Xingyu was also busy; he teleported the Treant Clan over.

The enemy was numerous, and this time they also had to capture them alive, which was quite difficult.

To ensure everything went smoothly, he needed the strength of the Treants.
