Just a few days after planting the four-leaf clover, Ye Chen and Jian Mengyi finally encountered trouble.
This trouble is none other than that brought about by Chris, Lin Hu, and other proud lords.
With Chris's departure, Ye Chen and Jian Mengyi's territory was exposed. After clearing out the low-level dark creatures on the wasteland planet, Lin Hu and the others finally had time to deal with Ye Chen.
"Your Majesty, a violent energy fluctuation has been detected from the north. Upon investigation, it has been determined to be a sixth-tier Ice Demon Spirit!"
"A beast tide is surging to the west; it's a fourth-tier dark demon!"
"A group of abyssal sea beasts have emerged from the east, and their strength is above level 4!"
“A level 6 Flamebird also flew over from the south.”
...
Suddenly, messages came back, and Ye Chen and Jian Mengyi realized that they were surrounded by dark creatures, and these powerful dark creatures were heading towards their territory.
"Wow! Aren't they afraid we'll just quit and walk away?" Ye Chen said with a surprised look. With such a big fuss, he could just burn his magic crystals and take off and leave, no matter how many dark creatures came.
"They're afraid, so all the remaining dark creatures from outside the wasteland planet have gathered above us. If we take to the sky, we'll be lambs to the slaughter!" Jian Mengyi raised her wristband; this was the message Si Meng had just sent back to them.
"Wow, now they really have no way to escape!" Ye Chen said with a shrug.
"So, what's next? Find a way to break out? Or wait here to die?" Jian Mengyi asked with a light laugh.
Although the enemy's lineup is large, it won't be easy to deal with them. At least the group of dark creatures in space can be cleared out, and there are basically no high-level creatures among them.
"We can't fly away, but we can go underground! If we can't go to heaven, we can go underground! Once those dark creatures have finished fighting each other, we can come back up and be the fishermen in peace!" Ye Chen said with a relaxed expression.
“That makes sense!” Jian Mengyi nodded.
The two then began to withdraw their kin, and all those who had gone out to explore returned. Subsequently, both territories sank into the ravine they had previously crossed under the magic of the land and mountain gods.
Moreover, a large amount of soil above the ravine moved up and down, gradually sealing the opening and making it look like a flat piece of land.
The natural underground barrier meant that the land and mountain gods didn't have to exert much effort, and the dark creatures were still far away, giving them ample time to prepare.
Even after sealing the cave entrance, they still had time to reinforce it to prevent it from collapsing during a fierce battle and destroying their territory.
After finishing these tasks, Ye Chen and the others waited peacefully underground for the arrival of the dark creatures.
"Boom~~~" This time, it didn't take long before a slight tremor came from above. This was caused by a large number of creatures moving around above. Fortunately, the rock layer created by the mountain gods and land gods was thick enough that there was no risk of collapse, and not even many rocks fell.
Feeling the vibration above, Ye Chen pursed his lips and didn't rush up. Instead, he continued to look through the exchange list in the inheritance stone tablet.
There aren't many items here, but there are some commonly used magic crystals, spirit springs, and spirit soil. One kilogram of Tier 4 spirit soil requires a full 1,000 merit points. If you add Tier 4 spirit springs, it's no small amount.
Based on the conversion rate of five four-leaf clovers, it would take at least 200 hours, or more than eight days, to accumulate 1,000 merit points, which is only enough to exchange for one kilogram of spirit soil, and not even enough to plant a single crop.
"This is too difficult~~~" Ye Chen sighed helplessly. At this moment, the tremors above began to gradually intensify, as if a battle had begun. Not only that, but there were also alternating waves of warmth and cold coming from the rock strata above.
"Let's go up and take a look!" Ye Chen summoned the land deity, and then led Ye Xi, Ye Ling, Tai Shan, and the others to ascend above the ground. How could they possibly miss such a grand battle between dark creatures?
"Boom~~~" Instead of appearing directly from above, the group was led around by the land to the edge of the battlefield.
At this moment, a fierce battle was raging at the intersection of numerous dark creatures.
Dark demons and abyssal sea beasts clashed, while demonic flames and frost danced in the sky—the battle between ice demons and demonic firebirds.
The combat power of sixth-tier creatures is extremely strong. Even the seemingly huge dark demons and abyssal sea beasts below are instantly killed by such attacks.
"Chirp~~~" The Flame Bird cried out, spewing out scorching black flames that burned towards the dark blue Ice Demon Spirit.
"Whoosh~~~" The Ice Demon on the other side was not to be outdone. It condensed a thick ice spear, which directly dispersed the flames and stabbed towards the Demon Flame Firebird.
"Chirp~~~" The ice spear, weakened by the demonic flames, was easily dodged, and the two launched another counterattack.
Although the name "Firebird" sounds ordinary, it is actually a famous phoenix in the West, an embodiment of evil like the dragon, and possesses the ability to be immortal.
Of course, after the phoenix fell into the Demon Flame Bird, its immortality was greatly weakened, and it would be extremely difficult for it to survive if it were killed.
As for the Frost Demon, it is the most primordial Frost Spirit that fell from grace after gaining sentience. It was once a true Frost Elf, representing the most primordial power of Frost.
The two clashed like natural enemies, their battle raging fiercely without any exchange of words, each determined to melt the other's ice or extinguish its demonic flames. They were true nemesis.
As for the Dark Demon and the Abyss Behemoth, they were forced to fight each other under the command and orders of the two powerful figures, each contributing their strength, shedding blood and tears for one side.
"Wow, this is really intense!" Ye Chen exclaimed as he watched the fierce battle. The power of the Flame Bird and the Frost Spirit also shocked him. Even from a great distance, he could still feel the high temperature and coldness emanating from them.
However, high risk also means high reward, and some dark treasure chests have begun to appear on the edge of the battlefield.
"Ye Ling, bring out more agile Silvermoon Elves and search the edge of the battlefield to see if there are any other lords. Those bastards are definitely waiting nearby, trying to kill two birds with one stone! They want to wipe us out along with the dark creatures!" Ye Chen looked at the surrounding darkness and said to Ye Ling beside him.
He didn't believe that those arrogant lords wouldn't want to see the outcome after luring the monsters. They might be waiting in some corner right now, waiting for Ye Chen to come and die!
