Having experienced the zombie world together, Wen Zuo immediately understood her meaning. He picked up a crystal and examined it for a moment. "The extraterrestrial invaders we encountered before didn't seem to have this?"

Mo Shuwan nodded. "No, but these crystals were indeed what we were trying to find in the heads of those extraterrestrial invaders."

The dark power on the crystal held in Wen Zuo's hand began to slowly writhe, as if it were fighting against something. The dark power was sometimes strong and sometimes weak. In the end, it seemed to have failed in the fight. All the dark power wrapped around the crystal drilled into Wen Zuo's palm, and the pure white crystal that was exposed inside was pure spiritual energy.

Wen Zuo absorbed all the spiritual energy without hesitation.

"grumble--"

"Yes, be careful, they're already on guard."

As soon as Mo Shuwan finished speaking, hope surged out again, and cries of alarm and curses rose up once more outside the light barrier.

When they were trapped in the burial ground, the war outside the first fortress was nearing its end for some special reason. The war had been a heavy loss for both sides, but because Lin Yunluo had finally intervened, the losses of the foreign invaders were even more severe.

In this battle, Mo Wuqiong's name was spread to every corner of the first fortress.

After decades of silence, the alliance has finally attracted a warrior who is enough to strike fear into the hearts of invaders from outside the region.

Mo Wuqiong frowned and wiped his hands. The black mark on his fingertips was still there. If you looked closely, you could see that the black mark was slowly wriggling on his fingertips, as if it were alive.

Squeezed outside by the Alliance warriors who were intentionally or unintentionally protecting Mo Wuqiong, the team members exchanged glances and decided not to join in the fun. They figured their captain would come looking for them after the event. With that in mind, the few who had just been planning to go to Mo Wuqiong's side silently turned and left.

This battle was truly arduous, and many of the trump cards we had accumulated over the years were used up. This time, we not only need to seize the time to rest, but also try our best to make up for these losses.

"Sigh, it was so much easier to complete the mission back then when the bus left me in the small world."

This statement truly reflects the sentiments of all the passengers on the Time Bus who participated in the war. Before they knew about the existence of the extraterrestrial invaders, they thought that being thrown into various cruel little worlds by the bus was already quite difficult. However, after learning the true reason for the existence of the Time Bus, they were forced to join one war after another.

"By now, the Time Bus should have stopped selecting passengers, right?"

"Judging from the trend this year, it is likely that foreign invaders will soon come out in full force. At this time, the passengers selected will not have time to grow. Even if they join the war, they will only become cannon fodder."

"I wonder what's going on with all those incredibly talented young geniuses who have emerged in recent years."

Indeed, the time-space buses deployed in the three thousand small worlds within the jurisdiction of the Western Continent have stopped selecting passengers. They sent some promising passengers to the tenth fortress of the Western Continent, where they were then assigned to the ten legions.

If all goes well, these passengers will train in various legions of the tenth fortress. After accumulating a certain amount of military merit, they will leave the tenth fortress and enter the corresponding legion of the ninth fortress to continue their training. They will advance from fortress to fortress until they are recognized as having the strength to fight, at which point they will be teleported to the first fortress.

That was the very front line where the real battle against the invaders from beyond the borders took place; that was the first line of defense in the Western Continent that could never be breached.

Of course, these are all expected results. If something unexpected happens, like what happened to Mo Shuwan and the others, they will be in a very awkward and dangerous position.

The burial ground is a place where allies never return.

As time passed, the faint light on the shield became almost invisible, but because Hope was constantly killing the extraterrestrial invaders outside, they no longer paid as much attention as before. Most of the extraterrestrial invaders roared and swore that they would tear Hope to pieces.

The dark power did not affect Hope, and it seemed that Hope even used the dark power as spiritual energy. Although the amount of dark power absorbed was small, Hope truly absorbed the dark power and transformed it into its own ability.

More and more crystals were piled up in front of Mo Shuwan and Wen Zuo, and the number of extraterrestrial invaders outside the light barrier was decreasing. However, the group still dared not relax in the slightest. They knew very well that they were probably only at the outermost edge of the Burial Ground, and most of the extraterrestrial invaders who appeared here were not very strong. This feeling would not last long.

Give me one.

Wen Zuo frowned. "Eat?"

"Hmm, I'm a little hungry."

Wen Zuo did not immediately hand the crystal to Yun Chenjing. They had always known that Yun Chenjing could eat crystals, but the crystals here were different. They were full of dark power, like— He suddenly paused and reached out to tap his head with a helpless expression.

The crystal was indeed enveloped in dark power, but couldn't I absorb that dark power now?

Thinking of this, Wen Zuo no longer hesitated and directly absorbed most of the dark power on the crystal before handing it to Yun Chenjing. Seeing Yun Chenjing chewing the crystal with a crunching sound, a long-lost smile appeared on his face.

"It seems we've found another way to solve the problem of spiritual energy disappearing."

Mo Shuwan, nestled in Wen Zuo's arms, heard his slightly joyful voice and tilted her head back. However, the image that appeared in her blurry vision was of the group of extraterrestrial invaders outside. She did not see Wen Zuo as she had hoped.

Although they hoped to bring back a considerable number of crystals, it was still far from enough for them. Moreover, Wen Zuo was currently stripping the dark power from the crystals to replenish Mo Shuwan and the others, making the crystal supply even more scarce.
