"So, is everyone here?"

Jiang Yuan arrived first despite starting later; his speed was even faster than Xiao Pang and the others, leading Ning Yanlan to the buffer zone ahead of Xiao Pang and the others.

"Ouch, this is exhausting! If we hadn't run slower, Brother Yuan, you wouldn't have seen us again!" Little Fatty said, panting and holding his back.

"Captain, how's it going? Have you found out about that mine?" Leng Yue was better at speed, so she wasn't as disheveled as Xiao Pang.

Jiang Yuan took in his two clones and the little dumpling, and then immersed himself in the Heavenly Eye.

However, when he saw the map for the first time, an inexplicable joy welled up in his heart.

"Guess what kind of mineral vein this is?" Jiang Yuan asked, keeping everyone in suspense.

"I hope this trip wasn't for nothing!" Leng Yue said dejectedly.

"Are you silly? Look at his smile, how could he possibly have made a wasted trip!" Ning Yanlan said, covering her mouth with her hand and laughing.

"We are very lucky. This vein is extremely valuable, and the minerals it contains are immeasurable!" Jiang Yuan suppressed a smile. He knew that the Black Stone Vein could not be abandoned because it was related to the defense of the entire South City.

Black amber and sky flame stone can completely replace the main materials for forging and become the mainstream minerals for forging. As long as they take over the black stone vein, they will have no worries about forging.

"Really!" Little Fatty was overjoyed. If he was rich, then he was rich. How could he not be happy?

"The challenge we face now is how to take over the West Gate! As you just saw, the beast tide at the West Gate has spread to such a terrifying extent that the four of us simply cannot clear it out!" Jiang Yuan said.

Human strength has its limits; no matter how strong they are, they cannot fight indefinitely.

“I just took a look, and there are very few low-level monsters left in the beast tide. The vast majority are spirit beasts that have been awakened. In other words, the ninth rank makes up the majority of them. If we want to overcome such a beast tide, we need a powerful army to do so!” Leng Yue was not optimistic about the capture of Ximen, because the combat power of the Oath was simply insufficient to complete such a massive attack.

"Let's go back and make plans later!" Jiang Yuan knew that his team was not strong enough.

Just as they were about to leave, the sky suddenly changed color and the earth trembled.

"What's going on? Is the beast tide catching up?" Little Fatty quickly turned around to look, thinking that the tremors were caused by the approaching beast tide.

However, Ning Yanlan looked serious. Jiang Yuan noticed that she had other thoughts, so he asked, "What's wrong?"

Ning Yanlan slowly said, "The battlefield has entered the second phase of recovery!"

"What will the resurgence of the battlefield lead to?" Leng Yue asked.

At this moment, Jiang Yuan remembered the data on the USB drive. Before the battlefield descends upon a world, it will give the natives a buffer period of novice protection. This buffer period is divided into three stages. Once the three stages of recovery are passed, the battlefield will be fully opened.

The first phase of recovery mainly targets the transformation of the battlefield. Various rare treasures and blessed lands will begin to appear in the world where the battlefield is located, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth will be greatly enhanced, from which all plants and animals will benefit.

The second phase of recovery involves an upgrade to the battlefield rules and the breaking of the spiritual barrier. The upgraded battlefield rules mean that Spirit Awakeners at the current corresponding realm will drop their corresponding level's core upon being killed. Simultaneously, all Spirit Awakeners exceeding the spiritual barrier will be able to break through freely, no longer restricted by the Void Spirit Realm. Of course, the seals within the alien races will also be significantly weakened, restoring most of their original strength.

As for the third stage!

Jiang Yuan dared not think about it, because the rules of the battlefield in the third stage would be fully opened. At that time, alien races descending from other worlds would have no taboos and would completely demonstrate the battlefield law of the strong being respected.

"Look! There are lots of bloody lights in the sky above the south city!" Little Fatty suddenly pointed to the distant sky.

Jiang Yuan looked up and immediately had a bad feeling. After confirming it several times, he sighed and said, "The battlefield has been flooded with Demonic Bloodstones again!"

Here we go again!

Little Fatty was quite helpless. Last time, he and his friends had snatched a lot of Demonic Bloodstones, but he didn't expect that just a few days later, they would start releasing them again.

"It seems that Nancheng will not be peaceful today!" Jiang Yuan did not expect that the release of the Demonic Bloodstone would come at the same time as the second phase of recovery, which is a great test for Nancheng.

"Are you going to rob it again this time?"

All three of them turned their gazes to Jiang Yuan.

"Rob!"

...

"There's a Demonic Bloodstone ahead! Brothers, hurry and grab it!"

"What's the point of fighting over them? They've already made their move, fought off several groups of people, and left with the Demonic Bloodstone long ago!"

"With so many of us, are we afraid of his mere oath?"

"Save your breath. If you're so capable, go and talk to them directly. What's the point of whine and complain behind their backs?"

The struggle for the Demon Pattern Divine Blood Stone has begun in various parts of the southern city, and unsurprisingly, the oath has become the hot topic again today.

Because the people who made the oath had appeared at the scene of the battle many times, and even took away the Demonic Bloodstone despite the anger of the crowd, although many conflicts arose, they all compromised under the strong suppression of the oath.

On the other side, the first person to break through to the Void Spirit Realm without relying on external forces has appeared: Tianlong, the zodiac sign of the Northern City Alliance!

Tianlong's breakthrough was like a domino effect, with a continuous stream of Void Spirit Realm cultivators appearing.

Among the various forces such as the camp, the Heaven and Earth Society, and the Ji and Chen families, Void Spirit Realm cultivators are appearing one after another, thanks to the recovery of the second phase of the battlefield.

Compared to the chaotic battles within the southern city, the fighting outside was much more harmonious. Although a large number of Demonic Bloodstones were also deployed outside the city, the Holy Spirit Clan held absolute control over its subordinate races. As a result, ninety percent of the Demonic Bloodstones were controlled by the Holy Spirit Clan, with only one-tenth being snatched by a few powerful beastmen. Compared to the chaos in the southern city, their battle was clearly much more peaceful.
