"Hmph! It had better be that way!" The Starsea Clan chief sneered, saying nothing more, and wandered around the vicinity with the other races.
The people of Honghuang Star are still loading elemental spirits, so it's not convenient for them to go up and join the fun. They might as well wander around the area and take one last look at the beautiful scenery of this small world. At the same time, they can keep an eye on the Botian Clan and the others to prevent them from causing trouble.
"Hey? Those people really didn't cause any trouble!" Ye Zhen looked at the people around her and smiled at Tao Ping beside her.
"What else can we do? It's already this late, and there are still so many people watching over us. If things really get out of hand, we might end up staying here forever, right?" Tao Ping sneered.
This plan was devised by him and Ye Zhen. They believed that the problem wasn't scarcity but inequality. Those who had obtained elemental spirits would certainly not allow those who hadn't to cause trouble. They would even keep an eye on these people without Ye Zhen having to say anything.
As for them obtaining hundreds of millions of elemental spirits and taking them back to the primordial planet, that's their skill. You'll be envious for a while, but that will pass. It's not like they didn't want to share some with you, but what can you do if you can't take them with you? When the gap is too big, you won't have any other thoughts besides envy; you'll only turn your anger towards those who are inferior to you.
A day passed quickly, and the last of the elemental spirits were loaded onto the truck. They had brought out 99.9% of the elemental spirits in the entire small world. There was simply no time to continue searching for the remaining ones hiding in the nooks and crannies, so they had to give up on them.
"The road ahead won't be smooth, so we must all stick together!" Ye Zhen said to the group as they were about to depart.
After a month, the number of dark creatures outside the small world will only increase. Now, when you look up at the starry sky, you can see countless dark creatures roaring outside. Even the people of the Primordial Star cannot guarantee that they can bring the starship back with their own strength.
"Don't worry, we still need to bring the elemental spirits back, so we definitely won't let anything happen to the starship!" The chieftains of the Starsea Clan and the Ironclad Turtle Clan said, patting their chests.
Compared to them, the Botian Clan and others looked much worse. This trip was not only fruitless, with only some ordinary creatures obtained, but now they also had to help these people fight against dark creatures. They couldn't have been more frustrated.
Although Ye Zhen was speaking to everyone, her main concern was for the Bo Tian Clan and other races that hadn't obtained elemental spirits. She was afraid that these people would just put in the work without putting in any effort, or even betray her at the end.
These clan leaders understood the meaning behind Ye Zhen's words. After a brief silence, the leader of the Botian Clan spoke up, "Don't worry, although we don't have elemental spirits, we still have quite a few clansmen and ordinary creatures here. They won't hold you back!"
"Thank you very much!" Ye Zhen smiled. Regardless of what the other party thought, these words were the best possible outcome.
"Boom!" Countless starships set sail and flew into the starry sky.
The world's membrane is already in grave danger, with many places already ruptured, and dark energy has begun to leak in. It is estimated that it will be breached by dark creatures in the next few days. Everyone couldn't help but feel fortunate that they arrived early, otherwise it would have been difficult to take these elemental spirits away.
However, everyone's expressions quickly turned serious again. The starship was about to break through the protection of the world's membrane, and they would once again be exposed to the endless starry sky, facing countless dark creatures.
"Main gun tuning complete, charging up power!"
"The guard guns are fully tested and ready to fire!"
"The assault ship is ready and will depart in three minutes!"
"The frigate is ready..."
Commands echoed through the starships as these powerful demons piloted the high-tech vessels. Their actions were bizarre yet orderly. One demon, whose true form was a deep-sea octopus, operated eight control panels all by itself and could send commands to others from time to time. On another starship, there was only one vine demon, whose countless vines covered the control panels. They even managed to have one vine for every button, making their work efficiency far superior to that of humans.
"Boom~~~" As the main cannons of the major starships fired, the terrifying firepower blasted through the world's membrane, forcibly carving a path through the army of dark creatures. Countless dark creatures were vaporized under such high-energy bombardment. Subsequently, a large number of unmanned assault ships rushed out to stabilize this star path, preventing the subsequent dark creatures from filling in and clearing the way for the main ships behind.
The roar of cannons never ceased as starships pierced through the world's membrane and ventured deep into space, following closely behind the numerous starships of the Primordial Star as they sped forward.
Even the most important task for the Botian Clan was not to be careless in the slightest. They did not even dare to leave their starships to fight the dark creatures. At this moment, if they were even a step too late, they might end up surrounded by darkness.
"A high-energy source has been detected at the ten o'clock position, suspected to be a sixth-order dark creature!"
"A high-energy source has been detected at the eight o'clock position, suspected to be a sixth-order dark creature!"
"A high-energy source has been detected at the three o'clock position, suspected to be a sixth-order dark creature!"
"..."
The alarm kept ringing, even though it was set to only sound when a sixth-order creature appeared. Every now and then, we could see starships being destroyed by attacks from sixth-order dark creatures.
"Fortunately, the elemental creatures are not large, which freed up a lot of starships. Otherwise, the destruction of one starship would have meant the extinction of countless lives!" Looking at the destroyed starships, Zixuan said with relief.
They placed the starships carrying the elemental spirits in the center, with some unmanned, empty starships surrounding them. Even if they were damaged, it didn't matter, as long as they could bring these elemental spirits back to their territory, it would all be worth it.
Not only them, but other races were in the same situation. The races that followed Zhao Wu all obtained about a hundred elemental spirits, enough to fill a starship. However, their starships were weak in combat and defense, and the damage was much more severe than that of the Primordial Star. Many of their people had even reached the point where they had to rely on themselves to fly in the starry sky.
This was undoubtedly extremely dangerous for them. After all, without the ability to use interstellar travel, the speed of ordinary flight was far slower than that of the starship. They could easily fall behind if they were not careful. They could only cling to the outer wall of the starship and follow it.
