After going deeper into the basin, the number of attacks suffered by Martin and his companions increased significantly. The creatures in the basin seemed to have a strong aversion to outsiders.

Every few steps, various creatures would pounce on him with their fangs and claws bared. After walking for a while, Martin saw a mountain peak. He thought he might find some clues there, so he decided to go up and explore.

Before setting off, Martin solemnly warned Eric and others: "Don't release the golden aura, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble. Find out the situation here first." Everyone kept it in mind and approached the mountain cautiously.

Before long, they successfully reached the foot of the mountain. Just then, a prospector suddenly shouted excitedly, "This is magic crystal ore! And the reserves seem astonishing!"

Upon hearing the voice, the other surveyors looked in the direction he pointed. Sure enough, in the cracks of the mountain wall, the unique light of the magic crystal was faintly flickering.

Everyone instantly became excited and started discussing it one after another. They couldn't wait to find out what was going on and they all crowded in that direction.

However, something unexpected happened. In the sky, a black shadow fell at high speed like a meteor.

The target was the nearest surveyor. Just as the shadow was about to grab the person, Eric acted quickly and rescued the surveyor at the critical moment.

Everyone looked up and saw more and more dark shadows in the sky, densely packed and approaching them. Martin acted decisively and shouted, "Eric, let's get out of here and retreat to the outside of the mountain!"

No one dared to hesitate, and under the cover of Eric and others, they evacuated quickly and orderly out of the mountain.
