The powerful Star Wanderer was quickly reduced to a pile of corpses.
Although no magic crystals were dropping, Ye Chen still collected the corpses, as many of their parts were good materials.
Refining weapons, alchemy, enchanting... His inheritance stele has more than ten auxiliary professions, so he will never waste these corpses. Even the flesh and blood can be used as fertilizer for the territory.
These corpses, purified by the flame of hope, can improve soil activity and have a certain chance of advancing the soil's level.
Moreover, it is also the best fertilizer for the four-leaf clover, the nemesis of darkness. Long-term use of the corpses of high-level dark creatures for nourishment may increase the value of the four-leaf clover, although the possibility is extremely low.
This battle brought Ye Chen over 100,000 merit points, which seems like a lot, but in reality, he can't exchange them for much. A Tier 4 weapon or equipment blueprint would cost hundreds of thousands of points, which isn't even enough for him. He can only exchange them for some Tier 3 items.
"Hopefully we won't encounter any powerful dark creatures next!" Ye Chen thought helplessly, while controlling the planet to continue flying towards the predetermined coordinates.
It was an abandoned planet, the largest one left near the coordinates the group had set. If the fat man had left any message, it must have been on this planet.
It's easy to imagine that the planet is far from peaceful, with a large number of dark creatures roaming freely. Any low-level lord would have to be on high alert and pray that they don't encounter any high-level dark creatures.
For the remaining distance, space travel would be difficult to use, so Ye Chen could only let the planet fly slowly. No one knew how many days it would take, since the planet itself was moving and the coordinates on the star map were not accurate.
The search lasted for three whole days, and Ye Chen successfully recruited the Ancestral Witch of Gold, Ru Shou; the Ancestral Witch of Water, Gong Gong; the Ancestral Witch of Thunder, Qiang Liang; the Ancestral Witch of Wind, Tian Wu; the Ancestral Witch of Poison, She Bi Shi; and the Ancestral Witch of Rain/Ice, Xuan Ming, from the Pangu Palace.
The six Ancestral Witches were all of similar strength, only differing in the laws they mastered. However, to Ye Chen's surprise, Gonggong and Shebishi, whom he had recruited, were both women, which was different from his impression of them. Nevertheless, he still bestowed upon them the title of Ancestral Witch according to the pre-arranged plan.
Whether they can ultimately uphold their respective titles of Ancestral Witches depends on their future growth.
"Boom~~~" The planet's advance gradually came to a stop. Even before it got close, one could almost feel the dark aura emanating from ahead.
Ye Chen arrived at the Baixiantai once again. Now that he possessed the entire planet, he naturally couldn't simply transfer his territory to the planet like ordinary lords.
In such situations, either a subordinate territory is used, with the lord personally descending; or a large force is gathered, and the kin are allowed to explore on their own, as in the Dark Origin.
He clearly chose the latter, as a lord would not normally risk his life personally.
"Taishan, Yeling, and Bifang, each of you take your own teams and head to that planet. Make sure you find the message left by Fatty! If you encounter any danger, call for help from the territory. I will have Oros on standby!" Ye Chen said to the group.
Taishan led the Primordial lineage, including Yue'e, the Mountain God, and the Witch Clan; Ye Ling led her Silver Leaf Moon Elf clan; and Bifang led a flock of Fire Crows.
Ye Xixuan Bird and the others remained in the territory, as this was their base camp and they needed to maintain sufficient defenses.
Especially after Ye Chen established the Taiyin Star and the Taiyang Star, Ye Xi and the Three-Legged Golden Crow rarely took action anymore. Most of the time, they needed to maintain the normal operation of the "Sun" and the "Moon" and maintain the day-night cycle on the entire Primordial Star.
"Yes, sir!" The group nodded. This time, under the protection of the Baixiantai and their territory, they left the Primordial Star and quickly descended towards the planet. Ye Chen kept a close eye on their situation through the star map and projection.
"Caw! Caw!!" The noise of the fire crows was still quite loud. Before they had even truly entered the planet, a chorus of caws had already begun to ring out.
Through the projection, Ye Chen could see that the place where everyone had landed was a plain, which was also the gathering place of a group of black demon horses.
These are a group of Tier 2 dark creatures, weaker than even dire wolves. They only pose a certain threat when herds of horses are galloping. Naturally, they pose no threat to Taishan and his companions.
Even a single burst of fire from the fire crows had already burned the group of black demon horses to a crisp, and the group successfully landed on the plain.
"The meeting is on the highest peak of the planet, which should be to your left if I'm not mistaken, about two days' walk away!" Ye Chen's voice came through the wristband in Taishan's hand. Everyone received the message, and the army immediately set off towards the location Ye Chen had indicated.
"Roar~~~" As a planet that has fallen into darkness, it is a breeding ground for dark creatures. Since the army broke camp, the battle has never stopped. If these dark creatures were not weak, Ye Chen would have almost ordered everyone to retreat.
"Damn it, once Fire Raven's strength improves, we must first scout out the road conditions!" Ye Chen cursed inwardly. Rushing in rashly like this was a huge waste of time.
Unfortunately, the strongest Fire Ravens at present are only at the peak of the third tier. It is too difficult for them to break out of the territory's shield and roam the starry sky on a large scale, which also makes reconnaissance extremely difficult.
Unaware that their lord had already set his sights on them, the fire crows, led by the divine beast Bifang, spewed their flames with abandon, burning everything in their path and clearing obstacles for Taishan and his companions.
However, when they finally arrived at the high mountain that Ye Chen had indicated, they searched the entire mountain inside and out, but found nothing.
"How could this be?" Ye Chen was stunned, his face filled with disbelief. In the past few days of their journey, he had even circled this planet several times. There shouldn't be any mountains higher than it, right? Could it be that Fatty really didn't leave any clues here?
"Boom~~~" Just then, the highest peak, which had been searched by Taishan and the others several times, seemed to be unable to bear the weight and suddenly collapsed.
Everyone was stunned by this scene. Ye Xi, who was standing next to him, turned his head stiffly and looked at Ye Chen with a puzzled expression. "My lord, could it be that the highest peak has... collapsed?"
