“I’ll do it. Angels are the bane of these undead creatures!” Jian Mengyi said.
Twenty angels soared into the sky, their dazzling light shining brightly. Sword energies saturated with light echoed through the ravines, instantly purifying a large number of skeletons.
These angels are experts at dispelling undead creatures.
"The presence of so many dark skeletons here is enough to prove that there must be something in this ravine! It's very likely the reason why there are so few dark creatures in the vicinity!" Ye Chen said with a delighted expression.
They didn't come to the wasteland planet for a vacation. If they can't find any dark creatures, it's like they've wasted their time and come for nothing.
"Gurgle?" As the skeletons were destroyed one after another, Hou curiously leaned over to sniff them, then swept away the bone fragments with a look of disgust.
This deathly aura, tainted by darkness, is absolutely awful, let alone edible! Do you really think a bone can be used to make soup?
Despite its disgust at the skull fragments, Hou tentatively sniffed into the ditch.
Its two long ears on its back twitched, and suddenly it plunged headfirst into the ravine.
"Watch out!" Ye Xi exclaimed, but it was too late. When the group reached the edge of the ravine, all that remained besides a few scattered skeletons was the little guy's figure rushing down.
"He must have discovered something. Let's go down and take a look!" Ye Xi said, and immediately led several Yue'e down.
The Hou was one of their kind, and it was also a cute, newly born little rabbit. She couldn't bear to see the little one perish here.
"No rush, go down together and take a look. More people means more strength! Let the angels protect you so you don't fall!" Ye Chen said immediately.
The moon spirits cannot fly. The land gods and mountain gods are fine, as they can use earth magic at any time. However, there aren't many moon spirits that can fly yet. If one of them accidentally falls, they will have to rely on the angels to rescue her.
The angels had no objections to this, as Ye Xi and the others' strength had already been recognized by the angels.
"Roar~~~" Just as everyone was ready, a huge and familiar roar rang out from the depths of the ravine. It was the roar of the Hou that had just charged down.
"Hurry down and take a look!" Ye Xi's expression changed slightly, and she rushed down first, followed closely by the others who fell down.
As the group descended, the area covered by the angelic light grew larger and larger. However, before they could reach the deepest part, they encountered a huge problem: a group of dark crawlers.
"Everyone be careful! If things get too difficult, ask the angels for help. Come in and use ranged attacks and spells to repel these dark crawlers!" Ye Chen quickly gave the order, and Ye Xi and Ye Ling shouted in unison.
Dark Crawlers are a variant of Dark Ghouls, also belonging to the undead species, but they are much stronger than Dark Ghouls, generally possessing strength of Tier 3 or higher, and rarely seen at Tier 2.
However, the growth of these dark creatures seems to be predetermined from the moment they are born. It is rare to see a fourth-order being, or rather, once they reach the fourth order, they have already evolved into another biological form.
"Boom!" Several moon blades swept out, instantly wiping out any dark crawlers they encountered along the way.
The land and mountain gods manipulated the earth, and sections of earth spikes pierced along the rock walls, either piercing through the group of dark crawlers or knocking them to the bottom of the valley.
The Silver Moon Elves, hampered in their movements, had to rely on their agility to hang upside down on the protruding rocks, firing crossbow bolts to hinder the Dark Creepers from getting closer.
Unfortunately, the rock formations on the wasteland planet were too fragile, and many Silver Moon Elves had to seek help from the angels after the rocks broke, which made many Silver Moon Elves feel ashamed.
"Ye Chen, look what you got from that dark treasure chest!" While the battle raged on one side, Ye Ling ran over excitedly, holding the contents of the dark treasure chest she had just opened.
At Ye Chen and Jian Mengyi's instruction, all the dark treasure chests obtained from killing the skeletons were opened and then teleported back via the Treasure Exchange Disc. Jian Mengyi has just been sorting out the spoils from this operation.
"What?" Ye Chen was taken aback, his gaze fixed on the projected image of the battle, and he didn't look over.
"Hehe! It's a metal-type Five Elements Spirit Pearl! Intermediate level!" Jian Mengyi said excitedly. Ye Chen looked back with slight surprise, then continued to stare at the projection on the battlefield.
"Then you can keep it for now. The situation here is a bit dangerous. I'll come back later!" Ye Chen said. Jian Mengyi pouted and had no choice but to put the spirit pearl aside.
The battle was indeed dangerous. There were far too many Dark Creepers, tens of thousands of them. Even with the use of Explosive Arrows, the few dozen Silvermoon Elves couldn't possibly defeat them all. Dark Creepers were breaking through the defenses and rushing in, only to be cut down by the angels who were constantly guarding them.
"Fire Wall!" A raging fire erupted beneath them, Bella's fire magic attempting to stop the dark crawlers from getting closer, but unfortunately, it had little effect.
"Aren't the angels going to help? The situation looks a bit bad." Jian Mengyi ignored the dark treasure chests and stared intently at the projection. She hadn't expected the situation to be so much more difficult than she had imagined.
"No, the angel's power recovers extremely slowly. There are still countless powerful dark creatures below. If we exhaust our energy here, what will we do if we encounter even more powerful dark creatures down there?" Ye Chen shook his head and rejected her suggestion.
Twenty angels, using light magic without regard for cost, could indeed easily kill these dark crawlers, but what followed was a 24-hour rest and recovery period.
Angels are like weapons; when you have plenty of ammunition, it's very fun to fight them, and you can just unleash a crazy barrage of attacks regardless of cost. But once the ammunition runs out, you can only wait for a long recovery process.
Therefore, many powerful clans are particularly good at sleeping, in order to reduce the consumption of energy in their bodies.
"If all else fails, let's use the explosive arrows! Everyone, just charge down!" Ye Chen said through gritted teeth, seeing the group struggling to hold off the enemy.
The explosive arrows will shatter the underground structure, causing the entire trench to sink or even collapse, but by then there's nothing that can be done.
If we don't use the explosive bombs, we'll have to use the energy stored by the angels. Once we're deep underground, without any means of restraint, even escaping might be a problem.
Now we can only hope that the dark creatures underground aren't too strong. Even if there are a lot of them, it's fine. As long as their strength doesn't undergo a qualitative change, their numbers are just numbers in the face of magic crystal bombs.
