"You damned scum!!! I'll tear you to pieces!!!"

The invaders from outside the region, who were still pouring in through the entrance, froze, staring in disbelief at the disheveled figures at the front. Their initial excitement quickly faded, and they became cautiously wary of their surroundings.

What kind of danger could have caused these high-ranking officials who followed the priest to become like this?

The appearance of the ancient ruins was bound to cause a sensation throughout the Burial Grounds. However, the Burial Grounds were simply too vast, and apart from that high priest, it seemed that no one else could use dark power to transmit messages. As a result, it took a full half month for the news to spread throughout the entire Burial Grounds.

One group of people who were still on the battlefield immediately contacted their people on the Western Continent using their special methods after learning the news.

So just as everyone at the first fortress was on high alert, waiting for the next battle to begin, they suddenly discovered that the foreign invaders who were still hiding in the shadows, ready to attack at any moment, had retreated.

"What's the situation? Is it a trap?"

"It's been checked, and those guys have indeed all retreated."

"They came in with great force this time, how come they left so quickly?"

No one could answer this question. Although the retreat of the extraterrestrial invaders seemed very strange, it was good news for everyone in the alliance, especially for the warriors who were fighting on the front lines. They could finally get some rest.

"How is it? Is it really gone?"

Zheng Kun stared at the spirit lamps belonging to his son and nephew in the ancestral hall for a long time without saying a word. The spirit lamps had been completely extinguished three months ago.

After watching for a long time, he turned and left the ancestral hall. "With the destruction of Battlefield No. 1, the Marshal should soon open up a new space. The extraterrestrial invaders failed last time, but they will definitely take action after receiving the news this time. We must keep a close eye on those guys!"

"clear!"

In the distant ancient ruins of the burial ground, perhaps the monsters within suddenly forgot about their presence, they stayed there for over two months without anything happening.

In the past two months, the group has gone from being wary and frequently changing hiding places to now staying in one place for two or three days at a time, although they are still vigilant. It's not that they have no sense of crisis; it's that there is genuinely no danger at all.

Even if they occasionally sensed some powerful and terrifying being watching them, that feeling would quickly disappear, as if that powerful being or monster had no interest in them, these little shrimps.

Over the past two months, everyone's strength has improved rapidly. With the support of ample medicinal herbs, everyone's strength has increased at least several times.

Oh no... there's an exception here.

The exception was Chen Jiaxu, who had long been completely assimilated into an extraterrestrial invader. Over the past few months, Mo Shuwan and the others had indeed been comfortable without any monsters bothering them, but he was different. Every time, he would experience certain physical problems in front of everyone. They had tried countless methods for everyone, but none of them worked.

Chen Jiaxu could only endure it, and as time went on, he got used to it. "Anyway, I've already died once, so I'm not afraid of this little bit of torture."

Mo Shuwan sighed helplessly, "Just bear with it a little longer."

This ancient ruin wasn't particularly large, nor was it small. Over the past few months, the group had explored about a third of it. During this time, they didn't encounter any more invaders from beyond the realm. If they hadn't known clearly what battles they would face after leaving this ruin, they probably would have forgotten that they were still in the Burial Ground, in the territory of the invaders from beyond the realm.

...

Six months later.

The ancient ruins have been thoroughly explored by everyone, and they have encountered many opportunities, both big and small, and have taken almost everything they could.

The reason why they said they had taken everything they could was because there were still some opportunities they couldn't take. Although the palace at the beginning had put them in danger, there were certain places and things that would give them a warning if they tried to touch them. It was a warning that directly covered their souls, making everyone dare not act recklessly.

Of course, there were also brothers who were not afraid of death. They ignored the warning and took things they shouldn't have. In the end, their bodies were dismembered in front of everyone, but they didn't die. They could only feel their limbs separating from them in terror and in vain.

The others were almost implicated by him that time, but fortunately Wen Zuo put the things back, so they were spared. From then on, everyone kept their distance from things that they couldn't take.

Over this period of time, Mo Shuwan has become able to eat medicinal herbs that are tens of thousands of years old as snacks. Right now, she happens to be holding one in her hand, which inevitably draws envious and jealous glances from others.

"Sigh, it's true that comparisons are the thief of joy. I can only barely absorb the medicinal power of half a leaf at a time."

As soon as he finished speaking, he received disapproving looks from his companions, who said things like, "You may know it, but why did you say it out loud? It hurts people's self-esteem!"

Mo Shuwan smiled and stuffed the remaining grass roots into the end. Apart from her cheeks being a little rosier, she no longer had the huge reaction she used to have.

Cheng Hua curiously approached Mo Shuwan and asked, "Captain, what's your current strength?"

"I'm not quite sure." Mo Shuwan shook her head. She really wasn't sure about her current strength. They had been too leisurely for the past six months and hadn't encountered any danger at all. She had no chance to test her strength.

As for using every blade of grass and every tree here to test them? Forget it, what if we accidentally upset some monster? They might just wipe them all out without a trace.
