When Hill, the plastic apprentice, arrived at the alien land for the first time, he looked out through the transparent windows of the transport convoy. In sharp contrast to the solid and smooth road below the convoy was the devastated land covered with gullies and craters. He spoke with emotion.
"Teacher, is this a foreign land? It's even more desolate than the moon..."
"Those are traces left behind when Lord Linn, the Magic Star, fought against the Moon God!" The great wizard named Code explained with a smile, then shook his head. "But other places aren't much better! I heard that this place was once a life star, but it's almost at the end of its life!"
"Even planets will die?" Hill's face showed a bit of astonishment. In her opinion, the main body of the world is made up of some stones and soil. Could it be that even hard stones have a lifespan? "Of course, everything will die one day." The old wizard responded with a smile.
"Will this day also happen in the world we live in?" Hill frowned with great worry.
"This..." The great wizard couldn't help but pause. Hill's question undoubtedly touched upon his blind spot. He coughed twice in embarrassment and said, "Who knows? Maybe! But that should be a long, long time in the future."
Hill couldn't help but wonder how long this long time was, but before she could figure it out, the convoy stopped, and it was obvious that they had arrived!
The great wizard Code was the first to walk down from the transport convoy to avoid being questioned further.
They arrived at an open woodland, surrounded by earth and stone walls created by magic. Although it looked simple, the protection level was actually very high. The entire venue was shrouded in alchemical array.
As soon as they got off the car, they heard bursts of violent roars and the sound of steel being struck.
"It seems these little guys are not very obedient!" Code said with a big laugh.
"Of course, if you can survive in such a harsh environment in a foreign land, how can you be content!" The wizard guarding the entrance also laughed, and quickly led the two into the woods covered with earth and rocks.
Unlike other wizards who came to foreign lands to transport supplies, they came here to rescue foreign monsters.
Because once this world collapses, all creatures living in alien lands will suffer a devastating disaster. It would be a waste to just let them disappear along with this world. So during the previous meeting, Sanchez, who had just become the Speaker, proposed to rescue these alien beasts and bring them back to the Eternal Star to raise them.
This has undoubtedly received strong support from many scholars of shaping, potion, and alchemy. Whether based on practical considerations of enriching magical materials or out of considerations of protecting lives, this rescue plan is necessary to implement.
However, it is not an easy task to capture these exotic monsters. Every monster they encounter either possesses very strong power or has special skills to save their lives and escape.
When Code stepped in, the first thing he saw was a giant beast that was seven meters tall. It was trying to tear open a steel cage with its sharp claws. Unfortunately, the cage was electrified. After a lot of struggling, the violent beast soon fell to the ground, its body shaking with the electric current.
The rest of the monsters imprisoned here were also tightly restricted by magic.
"Isn't this a bit too cruel?" Hill couldn't help but say.
"In fact, we have also tried non-cruel methods." The wizard who led the way shrugged and kept talking about the difficulty of their work.
In fact, when capturing these monsters, members of the Nature Conservation Association tried to use psychic powers to communicate with them, but obviously with little success.
Compared to the calm communication, these powerful monsters who have lived in the harsh environment of foreign lands for a long time know better what it means to have a big fist and a hard truth! Code also knows that it is not realistic to tame these monsters in a short time, and it is already very good to be able to achieve this level of control.
"The people we sent out also found a griffin settlement, but unfortunately they can only stay here forever." The wizard said with regret.
These magical beasts that already exist and have reproduced into tribes on the Eternal Star are not worth spending too much time and energy to rescue.
"We have limited time, so we can only do our best!" Code also felt it was a pity. The reason they were able to do this rescue work was largely based on their love for these creatures.
"Okay, let's get down to business!" Code didn't delay for too long. He ordered the wizards present to work together to load dozens of newly captured monsters onto trucks and transport them away.
Those monsters that are too large can only be equipped with a few wheels under the cage and towed forward by a transport vehicle.
Carrying heavy objects weighing several tons or even dozens of tons, the return journey was much slower than the outward journey. In half a day, they had not yet completed one-third of the journey.
Even though they had given these restless monsters sleeping powder before setting out, there was no guarantee that they would wake up halfway.
"What's wrong?" Code's face changed immediately. He stuck his head out of the window to check the situation. To his surprise, there was no problem with the cages holding the monsters.
"Look up at the sky... look up at the sky!" A witch who was accompanying the car reminded loudly.
The alarm was sounded by a magic detection device placed on the roof of the car, which can detect strong magic reactions within a range of several kilometers.
Code looked up and soon saw the culprit that caused the alarm. It was hundreds of strange monsters with wings and flames all over their bodies, almost dyeing the sky red.
"What is this? Is it another new kind of monster?" Hill said excitedly as he stared at the group of fire demons emerging from the sky.
They came to the foreign land to find those magical beasts they had never seen before and bring them back to the Eternal Star, but the other party actually came to their doorstep on their own initiative.
Code's expression became a little serious. Unlike Hill, who arrived in a foreign land for the first time, this was not his first time to carry out such an escort mission.
They have never been attacked on a large scale before, because the magical beasts living in foreign lands are very vigilant. When so many of them gather together, the magical reaction is very strong, and ordinary magical beasts will not choose to approach, let alone risk harassing them.
More importantly, the appearance of these monsters reminded him of the advance troops from the main world that the Magic Star had mentioned during the last meeting.

During this short delay, hundreds of fire demons swooped down.
Fierce machine gun fire also rang out. In order to ensure that there would be no problems in the transportation of these magical beasts, in addition to the protection of the great wizard Code and a dozen official wizards, the convoy itself was also equipped with some light weapons.
A horrifying rain of bullets swept past, and the fifteen most eager fire demons were immediately beaten into plugs. Then their bodies suddenly exploded, and their molten limbs fell down like erupting magma.
Each fire demon is like a moving barrel of explosives. Their semi-elemental bodies can withstand most attacks. If they encounter a blow that exceeds the limit, they will explode directly. The flames produced by these explosions will not hurt other companions, but will serve as their supplement and source of strength.
Code saw with his own eyes a fire demon whose half body was shattered by the rain of bullets, and it directly merged with the remains of its companion to recover from all its injuries. Facing the continuous rain of bullets, it showed no intention of retreating, as if killing was the only purpose of its existence.
Code frowned. This didn't look like a species that had evolved naturally. It was simply a weapon of war that had been artificially modified.
【Frozen Breath】
Seeing these monsters covered in flames rushing down under the machine gun fire, Code raised his hand, and the frost in the sky quickly condensed in mid-air, and the next moment it turned into a violent cold wave that surged towards the flying fire demon.
The scorching flames and the extremely cold breath of ice collided with each other, causing a violent reaction. All the fire demons that came into contact with the ice crystals first shrank in size, and then exploded.
Code secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the strange monsters that attacked them were not as strong as he had imagined. Their strength was only at the level of the second or third ring. The only thing they had was their semi-elemental bodies and the ability to self-destruct. He could still handle it without asking for support.
Just as he thought of this, Code's face suddenly darkened, because several exploded fire demons were flying at a very low altitude, and the scattered flaming remains actually burned several large holes in the cage that bound the giant beast.
The scene, which was originally under control, immediately became extremely chaotic.
"Damn it!" Code cursed loudly and had to expand his domain to deal with the flying barrels of explosives as quickly as possible to avoid releasing more dangerous monsters.
It took the wizards present an hour and a half to finally resolve these big troubles. As a price, two official wizards and a dozen guards lost their lives, all of whom died at the claws of the monsters that broke out of the prison.
Code's face turned extremely dark, but what worried him more was the meaning of the appearance of these strange monsters.
The originally calm sky had changed color without anyone noticing, and a strong storm seemed to be coming...
