After burning the swarm of demonic bats to ashes, the Black Birds did not return, but instead flew towards the pack of dire wolves below.
Large swaths of flame rained down, their power no less than that of the magic crystal bombs dropped by the fire crows, continuously burning and reaping the lives of large numbers of dire wolves.
However, the number of Blackbirds was still too small, and the Dire Wolves were too large. The Dire Wolves burned to death by the Blackbirds only accounted for a very small portion of the Dire Wolf pack.
"In the end, we still have to rely on magic crystal bombs!" Ye Chen sighed helplessly.
The seemingly devastating magic crystal bombs are actually becoming less and less powerful. Ye Chen is also constantly trying to break free from the constraints of the magic crystal bombs and rely on his own familiars to fight.
Unfortunately, he had too few followers, and often in the end, he still had to rely on magic crystal bombs to finish the fight, which was quite frustrating.
"Logically speaking, a prodigy lord should have enough resources to raise a team of over a thousand people in the trial space after a year, enough to protect themselves in the darkness. But it's only been a month or two, and wasteland planets are popping up like they're free!" I couldn't help but complain. In previous years, it was the grand finale, but I didn't expect it to appear so early this year. The new lords are not strong enough, so pioneering is naturally much more difficult.
The battle around them continued, but neither the Howling Moon Wolves nor the Dark Demons posed a threat, given Ye Chen's willingness to use the magic crystal bombs. Fourth-tier dark creatures were not yet capable of escaping the "nuclear peace" world.
An hour later, the world quieted down. The clansmen were harvesting the treasure chests around them, while Ye Chen and Jian Mengyi were discussing matters related to this wasteland planet with Fatty and Si Meng.
"The place you landed should be at the equator of the wasteland planet. To the east... well, the magnetic field is chaotic, and you can't tell which way is north, south, east, or west anymore."
“Let’s take the sea as our east! There is a sea to your east, but the sea has dried up and there shouldn’t be much water left.”
"There's a continuous mountain range to the north and west; there should be some good stuff inside."
"As for the south, emmmm, it's best not to go there. There's a volcano there, and right now there's smoke billowing up from above!"
Unlike on Kalan Star, where only a small gap was torn open, this time the dark creatures on the outer perimeter of the wasteland planet have been basically cleared out, so Fatty and the others can get closer and observe the terrain from space for Ye Chen and Jian Mengyi.
"The Dead Sea? An active volcano? They seem like natural disasters, but they're actually full of life!" Ye Chen said with a hint of interest.
They have already gained the approval of the planet's will, so they are not worried about these natural disasters befalling them. Moreover, these places are often the places where the planet's will has the strongest control and where life is most abundant.
"Do you know which gods live on this planet?" Jian Mengyi asked.
When a planet falls, its gods must have already perished, but that doesn't stop them from searching for divine relics and obtaining what they desire.
“No, it’s too far. We can’t see the details on the ground clearly. We can only barely see what’s around you thanks to the light from the Three-Legged Golden Crow!” Si Meng shook her head and said helplessly.
"You said that the three-legged golden crow illuminated the earth, which is why you were able to see the situation around our territory?" Ye Chen asked.
"yes!"
"Damn it, Ye Jun, turn off the lights!"
Ye Chen said irritably, and the area where the two of them were suddenly dimmed.
He was the only one with his lights on on in the entire wasteland planet, wasn't he blatantly telling everyone that he was awesome and that he was right there, so come and get him?
"Um, it looks like we just saw a temple inside the mountains. You guys could try going over and take a look!" Si Meng pouted, a little unhappy that she couldn't see the two of them laughing and joking on the planet.
"Inside the mountains? Okay, got it!" Ye Chen looked northwest and nodded in response.
"By the way, this wasteland planet is huge, and we also need to purify the darkness and save the planet's will. It will probably take quite a while. You guys should find a place to set up camp!"
"Okay, got it!"
After the battle was over, Ye Xi and the others had almost finished cleaning up the battlefield. Back in their territory, they opened the Dark Treasure Chests while pondering their next move.
“The dark creatures in the vicinity have been cleared out, and there shouldn’t be any more coming for a while. Let’s set up camp here! Just like on Kalan Star, let’s send our clansmen out to explore.” Ye Chen looked around at the surrounding environment and said.
“Sure!” Jian Mengyi never had any objections to these things, or rather, with Ye Chen around, she didn’t need to think at all.
Nothing good came out of the dark treasure chest. There was nothing of value to them. They kept what they could use and dumped the rest to Si Meng.
To hold an auction, you always need some items that can serve as the grand finale.
For Ye Chen now, the items from the Dark Treasure Chest are unlikely to cause a qualitative change in his strength. He can only strengthen himself little by little through daily accumulation in order to break through.
The two's familias, in small teams, began exploring the surrounding area, which was also a way to hone the familias' own strength.
Unfortunately, Ye Chen didn't find the divine substance he needed in this batch of dark treasure chests. Otherwise, he might have been able to try to retrieve another ancient book from the river of time.
The proper kind!
In the time that followed, the two seemed to have returned to the planet Kalan, steadily developing their territory, exploring the surrounding environment, and fighting against dark creatures.
Two days later, Ye Xi, who had gone out to explore, finally brought back some exciting news.
"My lord, we've found the temple. There are remnants of divinity inside, so we didn't rush in. Also, it seems that other lords' families have also discovered the temple's existence!" Ye Xi said solemnly.
Upon hearing that the gods were suffering terribly, Ye Chen's face lit up with joy, but upon hearing the second half of the sentence, his expression also became solemn.
Lords are not only allies, but also rivals. While the divinity of a temple may be of little use to an ordinary lord, it is related to the history and past of the planet, and no lord would be uninterested in it.
To maximize your gains on a wasteland planet, understanding its past is essential.
"Very good, notify the others, call Oros, and let's go take a look together!" Ye Chen nodded and gave the order. However, Ye Xi did not rush to leave, but looked at him with a troubled expression.
"My lord, that thing seems to be more than just a remnant of divinity; it also seems to contain a projection of a god!"
