One wanted energy crystals, and the other wanted to travel to the small world intact and bring out the creatures inside. The two hit it off immediately and decided to merge into one team and travel to the small world together.
Along the way, Ye Zhen's team was responsible for protecting the airship used for transportation, while they were responsible for providing energy crystals and assisting in clearing out the dark creatures they encountered.
The other party provided both money and effort, making Ye Zhen adept at this kind of freebie. After joining forces with several other starship armies, the fleet of the Primordial Star hardly needed to lift a finger anymore. These kin who directly stormed into space were enough to annihilate the dark creatures.
For them, if it weren't for bringing back the creatures from the small world, the starship would be a burden rather than an asset. Now that Ye Zhen and others are responsible for helping them protect the starship, they are naturally more willing to come out and fight the dark creatures.
Especially the warlike Sky Clan, whose strength is entirely built through battle, are even more eager to fight in space. Having someone look after and take care of their starships is the best thing that could happen to them.
Of course, Ye Zhen had also told them that along the way, they had gathered the forces of several other lords' families, forming a fleet of about a hundred ships. When the group finally arrived outside the small world, there were already five or six hundred starships, plus various races flying around them, stretching for thousands of kilometers.
However, when everyone actually arrived at the edge of the small world, they were all shocked.
At this moment, the small world was already densely surrounded by dark creatures, and even more dark creatures were coming from the depths of the starry sky further away. The entire small world was completely surrounded, and people could not even tell how big the entrance to the small world was.
These were all dark creatures that had come drawn by the scent. To them, this exposed little world, with its rich life force, was like braised pork placed before a group of hungry ghosts or a naked woman placed before a group of lustful men... They simply couldn't suppress the most primal urges deep within their hearts.
"This? Charge in?" Everyone was stunned. The leaders of the various races gathered together and began to think about countermeasures.
"We definitely have to fight our way in, but how do we get in? What's the exact location? We need to confirm these things first!" a leader said. This was a void elf who had the ability to walk in the stars, but unfortunately, to bring people out, they still needed to rely on a starship.
“Our lord can contact them inside and confirm their exact location coordinates, but he needs to bring them out with him!” the leader of the Botian Clan said with a frown.
“That’s no problem. We are all from the myriad races of the heavens, and it is only right that we help each other!” said a leader of the Star Sea Clan, who was also a race that walked in the starry sky. They even had a slight blood relationship with the Star Beasts. However, they were mainly warriors and there were very few mages who were truly skilled in space.
"Then it's settled. Leader of the Botian Clan, go and contact the exact coordinates inside, and then notify the people inside to cooperate. We'll charge in together!" Xu Changqing nodded. Being able to coordinate from the inside and outside was naturally the best option.
After finalizing the plan, everyone quickly began preparations. The Botian Clan contacted the races in the small world, while the others resisted the dark creatures on the periphery and protected the starship from damage.
This place is very close to the small world. Countless dark creatures are pouring into it, and naturally, many dark creatures will also rush towards them along the way. No one would mind having some appetizers before the main course.
Therefore, the fleet is stationed here, and is constantly under attack from dark creatures. If they cannot enter the small world as soon as possible, they will not be able to withstand it in the long run.
Fortunately, the Botian Clan acted quickly. In just over ten minutes, they obtained the exact coordinates. At the same time, the people inside indicated that they would organize a large-scale attack in an hour to bring everyone in.
This news was undoubtedly encouraging. While all races were fighting against the dark creatures, they also set aside some of their forces to make preparations.
The inspection of the starship, the stockpiling of resources, and so on, are all important. After all, once you go in, if anyone is slow and falls behind, no one can come back to rescue you. In the end, you will only become food for the dark creatures.
About forty-five minutes later, the group officially set off, heading towards the location provided by the Botian Clan.
This time, Ye Zhen did not hold back. All the starships unleashed their full firepower, bombarding all directions. Countless dark creatures were pulverized amidst the explosions, and a path was blasted through the dense horde of dark beasts.
As for the various races, they piloted their respective starships while fighting against those who managed to break through the artillery barrage. Among the dark creatures were some powerful units that could withstand the starships' bombardment with their own defenses, or perhaps, by chance, find a weak point in the firepower and break through.
These dark creatures require everyone to work together to kill them, since the starship cannot be easily damaged, otherwise their trip would be meaningless.
"My lord, the energy consumption is quite high. According to the distance provided by the Botian Clan, even with the energy crystals sent by others, we will only have about one-third left after rushing in. And that's assuming we don't encounter any special circumstances on the way!" A black bear spirit walked over and reported in a muffled voice.
"It's alright, as long as we can get in, we'll be fine. Once we get the local creatures, we won't have to worry about them not paying us when we want to get out," Ye Zhen said with a faint smile, not taking the matter to heart.
“That’s right. Compared to the energy consumption, I just hope we don’t encounter a seventh-order dark god. Otherwise, let alone the starship, whether we can even get back is a question!” Tao Ping chimed in, a wry smile on his face.
Among the dark creatures rushing in from all around, he had already seen quite a few sixth-tier dark creatures. After all, this was not far from the source of darkness, so it wouldn't be surprising if seventh-tier dark creatures appeared. However, for them, that would be a catastrophe.
"I think you'd better not talk nonsense. Although everyone knows the truth, saying it out loud often makes it come true! You can't make promises you can't keep!" Ye Zhen turned her head and looked at Tao Ping with displeasure.
"Pah! Pah! Pah! My bad! I'll go back to my room and dust myself off! Just pretend you never saw me today!"
