136: Devouring spatial energy, the Void-Eating Worm

Chaos spread like a plague, and members of the Gu Family successively met with accidents.

Some were backlashed by their own spirit gear, while others inexplicably tripped.

Some even inexplicably hiccuped during spellcasting, leading to chaotic Qi… “Damn it, it’s a Curse!”

Gu Jingchen finally reacted, roaring at those around him:

“Support professions, quickly use purification skills!”

Upon receiving the command, the support professions released purification skills, but the effect was poor.

At this moment, Wang Ledian had completely exhausted his Qi.

He took out the startling thunder brew, chugging it down to accelerate Qi recovery… “Haha, again!”

After his Qi recovered, Wang Ledian grinned and once again cast the "Curse of Misfortune."

Curses, like maggots clinging to bones, tightly entangled the Gu Family members, and the number of casualties continued to climb… Simultaneously, at the rear of the battlefield.

“Pfft——”

Great Master of Formations, Luo Kongyuan, once again spat out a mouthful of blood, his face as pale as paper.

He collapsed to the ground, trembling as he looked at yet another failed teleportation Formation, his eyes filled with disbelief.

“How is this possible…”

“I used to set up these small teleportation Formations all the time!”

As a Great Master of Formations, Luo Kongyuan had set up countless Formations in his life, reaching a state of perfection.

But today, he had tried five times in a row, and each time it inexplicably failed.

The first time, a Formation pattern was carved incorrectly.

The second time, the Qi input suddenly became sluggish… The fifth time, he didn’t even know what went wrong; the Formation just suddenly exploded!

“Am I old? Are my hands shaking? Is my mind muddled?”

Luo Kongyuan muttered to himself, starting to doubt himself.

“I refuse to believe it!”

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, forced himself to stand, and began setting up the Formation for the sixth time… As time passed, Wang Chiyao’s Puppet production line had already manufactured a batch of small Puppets.

They piloted goblin mecha and joined the battle.

“Damn it, isn’t that a goblin mecha? How do they have them too?”

“Are they colluding with the goblins?”

“Stop with the damn nonsense! Their firepower is too strong, think of a way, fast!”

...Under the attack of Lin Xingyu's side, the Gu Family was gradually suppressed and began to retreat steadily.

Seeing this scene, Gu Jingchen's face was extremely grim.

He gritted his teeth, took out a cyan pearl, and threw it fiercely towards Lin Xingyu.

This was the "Wind-Rending Pearl," containing powerful wind-attribute energy, and it was his trump card.

However, before the "Wind-Rending Pearl" could fly far, it was precisely struck by the star ray shuttle.

“Boom——”

Terrifying wind-attribute energy instantly erupted, forming a huge tornado that spread through the Gu Family's camp.

Strong winds raged, shattered stones flew, and screams rose and fell.

“Not good! Get out of here quickly!”

“Save me…”

The Gu Family instantly fell into chaos, scrambling to escape.

However, the tornado's speed was much faster than they imagined, and a large number of people were torn to shreds.

Gu Jingchen watched helplessly as his own Family members were swallowed by the killing move he had unleashed, his face ashen.

He looked around; the battlefield was a mess, and the Gu Family was completely routed.

“Quickly go notify Great Master Luo to close the Formation!”

Gu Jingchen grabbed a subordinate next to him and loudly commanded.

There was no chance of winning now; rather than retreating, it was better to open the light barrier and let the people outside in.

By disrupting the battlefield, perhaps they could fish in troubled waters.

“Yes!”

The subordinate received the order and immediately ran to the back.

But soon he ran back in a panic:

“Young Master, this is bad! Great Master Luo is seriously injured and unconscious!”

“What? Great Master Luo was attacked?”

Gu Jingchen was greatly alarmed.

Only Great Master Luo could control the Formation; if something happened to him, all the Gu Family members would be trapped within the Formation.

“He wasn’t attacked; people nearby said he suffered a backlash while setting up a Formation!”

The subordinate's face was grim.

He knew that Great Master Luo was usually engrossed in Formation innovation, but what kind of time was this to still be thinking about innovation?

Wouldn't it have been better to use a tried-and-true Formation from before?

Now look, no one can get out, and they might all have to be buried with him… Half an hour later, Lin Xingyu looked at the scene before him, somewhat stunned.

The Gu Family members were waving white rags, indicating surrender.

There were still quite a few people on the other side, so why did they suddenly surrender?

Even if they couldn't win, they could still run away!

“What the heck, we were fighting so well, why surrender?”

Wang Chiyao pouted, her face full of disdain.

The Gu Family was too cowardly, with half their fighting strength remaining, they actually surrendered!

It was said that the Gu Family had a Feng Wang Rank Expert guarding it.

How could a Family of this scale be so spineless?

Seeing Lin Xingyu's side stop attacking, Gu Jingchen stepped forward.

“Lord, we surrender!”

“Please don’t kill us, the Family will pay a ransom!”

He didn't want to surrender either.

But he couldn't win, and he couldn't escape.

Knowing it was a certain death, there was no point in fighting on.

“Forget it, no more fighting.”

Lin Xingyu waved his hand and gave an order to the Grand Elder of the Treant Race beside him:

“Karon, lead your people to escort them into the Inner World.”

Devouring the ore vein was more important now; he couldn't be bothered to waste time with these people.

After the treants had taken all the surrendered soldiers into custody, Lin Xingyu touched the ore vein with his hand.

The System's prompt sounded in his mind again.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for discovering a space stone ore vein. Do you wish to devour it?"

“Yes!”

As his voice fell, an invisible fluctuation enveloped the entire ore vein.

Pure space energy was continuously extracted and poured into Lin Xingyu's Inner World.

After absorbing the space energy, the Inner World changed again.

“Rumble——”

Accompanied by a roar, the expansion speed of the Inner World accelerated again, and new land continuously formed at the world's edge… As the space energy was drawn away, Boulder Valley also began to shake.

The entire valley continuously collapsed downwards, forming a huge deep pit.

“There’s something inside!”

Lin Xingyu suddenly discovered three huge worms, coiled at the bottom of the pit.

"Void-Eroding Worm"

"Rank: Fourth Order Nine Star"

"Introduction: Mutated from ordinary stone worms after absorbing a large amount of space energy, possessing powerful defense."

Seeing the information on the Void-Eroding Worm, Lin Xingyu paused the devouring of the ore vein.

Mutated beasts that absorb space energy must be extraordinary and should drop Advanced spirit seeds.

“Old Dian, your Advanced Materials are here!”

Lin Xingyu shouted.

There were three Void-Eroding Worms here, just enough for one per person.

It must be Wang Ledian's "Lucky Blessing" at work.

“Haha, I can finally Advance!”

Wang Le Dian excitedly rushed up, raising his saber and slashing at one of the Void-Eroding Worms.

“Clang——”

The blade was blocked by a layer of silvery-white light barrier.

“Comes with a shield?”

Wang Ledian was slightly stunned.

This light barrier was identical to the light barrier produced by the space Formation set up by the Gu Family.
