135: Break into the barrier

"Let's go, we'll go too."

Lin Xingyu and the others leaped onto their mounts and flew towards the space stone ore vein.

Wang Ledian deliberately controlled his Black Plume Eagle to descend, shouting loudly to the people below:

"Haha, brothers, we'll go scout ahead!"

As he spoke, he even performed several difficult aerial maneuvers.

He didn't miss any chance to show off!

"Damn, I'm so jealous!"

"Who isn't jealous! When will I be able to get a flying mount!"

Watching them speed past, many people showed envy.

Flying mounts were not cheap on the market, and commoners rarely could afford them.

"Hmph! What's there to be proud of!"

"Ignore them, leaving the main group is just asking for death!"

"While flying mounts are rare, they aren't non-existent, and the other few..."

Some people scoffed at this, believing their act of leaving the main group was unwise... Lin Xingyu and his group traveled onward, quickly arriving near Boulder Valley.

At this moment, the entire valley was enveloped by a silver-white light screen, obscuring the view inside.

Outside the light screen, Formation Masters from various forces were gathered, studying how to break the Formation.

"They are too wicked, to actually set up a Formation!"

Wang Ledian looked at the valley covered by the Formation, a look of displeasure on his face.

"Brother Yu, should we give the people inside a Curse of Misfortune?"

His usual style was: whoever displeased him would suffer misfortune!

"No hurry, you all come onto Dark Evil's back, we'll go take a look."

Lin Xingyu stopped Wang Ledian and motioned for everyone to get onto the Dark Fiend Dragon's back.

Activating its invisibility, they slowly approached Boulder Valley.

Lin Xingyu was also troubled by this light screen.

With so many people gathered outside, it was clearly not something that could be broken by brute force.

He controlled the Dark Fiend Dragon to lower its altitude, arriving at a secluded corner.

He pressed close to the light screen, observing carefully.

Just then, a System notification suddenly sounded in his mind.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, for discovering space energy. Do you wish to devour it?"

"Excellent!"

Lin Xingyu was delighted, the System's timing was perfect!

Immediately, an idea struck him, and he asked in his mind:

"System, can I only devour a portion of the energy?"

"Yes."

After receiving a positive reply from the System, Lin Xingyu placed his hand on the light screen and began to devour the space energy.

As the energy drained, the light screen in contact with his palm rapidly thinned.

Eventually, a hole large enough for one person to pass through formed.

"Go! Let's go in!"

Lin Xingyu put away the Dark Fiend Dragon and led his companions through... As soon as they stepped into the barrier, they were discovered by patrolling Gu Family guards.

"Oh no! Someone broke in!"

"There are only a few of them, let's finish this quickly!"

The Gu Family members picked up their weapons, charging over with Killing Intent.

"Haha, it's finally my turn to show off!"

Wang Chiyao excitedly hoisted her gatling gun, its barrels spinning rapidly, and a dense rain of bullets poured out.

Wang Ledian and Li Hongyang were not to be outdone, charging forward and engaging the enemies.

Lin Xingyu, however, stood still, activating "Area Isolation."

While isolating information, it also cut off the spirit net signal, proving more effective than a psionic jammer.

Immediately after, with a thought, he opened a teleportation channel.

Led by the Grand Elder, Treants emerged one after another from the channel.

There were many enemies in the valley, too many for a few people to handle, so Lin Xingyu directly summoned the Treant army...

"Treants?"

Just then, Gu Jingchen, hearing the commotion, walked out of the mine shaft and witnessed this scene.

His gaze fell upon the teleportation channel next to Lin Xingyu, and a sharp glint flashed in his eyes.

"Everyone listen, stop mining, and capture him first!"

Gu Jingchen pointed at Lin Xingyu and sternly commanded.

Not long ago, he received news that the Treant Clan had appeared near Zhu Lang City.

It was said that the Secret Realm where the Treants resided had been refined by a young man, who should be the person in front of him.

If he hadn't been competing for the ore vein, he would have wished to kill his way over immediately to seize the "secret realm core."

Now, this person had actually delivered himself to their doorstep!

This was a heaven-sent Opportunity!

Compared to the "secret realm core," what was a space stone ore vein?

As for why the other party could open a teleportation channel within the Secret Realm?

Gu Jingchen did not delve deeper; perhaps the Secret Realm he obtained was somewhat special.

With Gu Jingchen's command, the Gu Family members surged out of the mine shaft, charging towards Lin Xingyu.

However, they were quickly intercepted by the Treant Clan.

A great battle thus unfolded... Meanwhile, at the entrance to the Goblin Secret Realm.

Not long after Lin Xingyu and his group left, representatives from various major forces gathered here.

They had come precisely for the "secret realm core."

Inside the Wave-Chasing Battle Group's military camp, in the reception tent.

Qian Ming, the person in charge of the Wanding Chamber of Commerce's Vast Sea City branch, was conversing with Hong Lie.

"Commander Hong, are you saying they might return within three days?"

Qian Ming looked at Hong Lie, a joyful expression on his face.

As a representative of the Wanding Chamber of Commerce, his objective for this trip was clear: to acquire the "secret realm core" at all costs.

According to the Wanding Chamber of Commerce's creed, there were no priceless treasures in this world, only goods whose prices had not yet been negotiated.

As long as a sufficient price was offered, the "secret realm core" could definitely be secured.

Unfortunately, as soon as he arrived, he learned that Lin Xingyu and his group had already left.

Qian Ming had a good relationship with Hong Lie, and upon learning that he had had contact with the group, he specifically came to inquire about news.

"Yes, these individuals are by no means ordinary; my old friend, you must not offend them."

Hong Lie looked at Qian Ming, reminding him in a low voice.

Lin Xingyu and his group had left a very deep impression on him; he had never seen people with such a temperament.

If Qian Ming wasn't his old friend, he wouldn't have revealed this matter.

Hearing Hong Lie's reminder, Qian Ming laughed heartily, patting his chest and assuring him:

"Don't worry, our Wanding Chamber of Commerce always operates on mutual consent."

"As long as the price is right..."

...Secret Realm No. 2500, Boulder Valley.

The battle between Lin Xingyu's group and the Gu Family continued fiercely.

The Gu Family formed battle Formations, and amidst the clashing blades and swirling swords, spirit Qi surged.

They were numerous, three times the number of Treants, and their offensive was like a surging tide, wave after wave.

But the Treant Clan was naturally thick-skinned and tough, their massive bodies like moving castles.

Thick branches swept out, forcefully blocking the Gu Family's charge.

"Boom boom boom—"

One Gu Family member after another was swept away by vines, crashing into the rock wall, causing shattered rocks to fly.

"Old Dian, stop fighting, apply the debuffs to them!"

Lin Xingyu's voice resounded across the battlefield.

Wang Le Dian, hearing this, immediately retreated.

A large amount of spirit Qi was injected into the spirit seed, releasing the "Curse of Misfortune."

An invisible wave spread out, enveloping the Gu Family members.

The next second, the battlefield situation suddenly changed.

"Ah! Why is my spirit Qi suddenly chaotic?"

A Gu Family member who was in the midst of unleashing a powerful attack suddenly lost control of his internal spirit Qi, suffered a backlash, and spat blood on the spot.

"Rumble—"

Another person's feet suddenly collapsed without warning.

Caught off guard, he directly fell into a deep pit, his thigh pierced by sharp stone spikes.

"Be careful..."

A Gu Family member swung his saber at a Treant, but suddenly his direction shifted, and he slashed his companion's shoulder.

"Holy crap! Where are you slashing?"

"I didn't mean to..."

"Bullshit! You definitely did it on purpose, I saw the way you looked at my wife that day..."
