Turning their heads, they saw several mountain giants striding toward them with huge strides, their expressions filled with panic.
Having just withstood the surging dark sewage, Ye Chen, who hadn't even had a chance to catch his breath, was suddenly stunned. But he couldn't care less about anything else, so he called to his fellow clansmen and leaped forward using the high platform.
Behind the towering figure of the mountain giant, pairs of scarlet eyes gleamed in the hidden darkness.
Although they didn't know what it was, any random group of dark creatures would be beyond their current capabilities to handle.
"What's going on? Didn't you say they wouldn't leave their territory easily?" After releasing the power of the hilltop platform, Ye Chen and his many kin leaped over the black water beneath their feet and asked Zhou Wenbin and Gao Caidie, who were fleeing in panic.
"How would I know? We were about to find a place to wait for you when suddenly a lot of dark creatures jumped out of the darkness, which scared us so much that we ran over here!" Gao Caidie replied quickly, ignoring Zhou Wenbin's stuttering voice.
"Damn it~~~" Ye Chen couldn't help but curse. These people's words were really unreliable. However, before he could speak again, there were more roars of beasts coming from ahead.
"Roar~~~" The successive roars were terrifying, and the mountain giant and the mountain god paused in their tracks.
"This way!" Ye Chen shouted, turning around, and the group avoided the pursuers who were attacking from both sides, running to the left.
"Roar~~~" Just as the group passed by, the dark creatures in front of them rushed out of the darkness.
They were a group of night demons, true dark creatures, possessing strength starting from the 3rd tier. They originally mutated from dark ghouls and slowly evolved into a completely new race.
Although lower-level creatures are generally weak, they have the potential to mutate and become higher-level dark creatures, an ability that ordinary races do not possess.
"Woo~~~" Looking in the direction Ye Chen and the others left, Night Demon paused slightly, a moment of hesitation in his eyes, but in the end he still ran in the direction he had chosen.
The shattering of the source of darkness unleashed a deluge of its own dark essence, a feast for them that few lives could not compensate for.
Seeing that neither of the two dark creature races behind them had chased after them, Ye Chen and the others breathed a sigh of relief and paused slightly in their steps.
"Huff...that was Night, Night, Nightwalker, right?" Zhou Wenbin asked breathlessly, the aura emanating from those creatures almost suffocating him.
"Yes, Nightwalkers, at least Tier 3, with Tier 4 and 5 as the core force, and the leaders are mostly around Tier 6." Ye Chen nodded. The appearance of the Nightwalkers startled even him. If they were really targeting them, they probably wouldn't even have a chance to escape.
"This is too, too, too terrible! We should hurry, hurry, run!" Zhou Wenbin said. Ye Chen nodded; this place was indeed not a safe place to stay.
However, at that moment, Gao Caidie suddenly clapped her hands and shouted.
"That's right! I remember now, the location of the high-level spirit orb that Lu Ziang mentioned before, isn't it not far from the Nightwalker Demon?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Chen and Zhou Wenbin, who were both about to leave, were stunned.
"You mean the location of the high-level spirit orb is next to the Nightwalker Demon's territory?" Ye Chen asked, slightly excited. A high-level spirit orb is something that ordinary lords can't obtain.
"Yes, he told me that if Wenxuan hadn't been corrupted and there hadn't been a group of Nightwalkers next to the high-level spirit pearl, he would have gone to check it out no matter what!" Gao Caidie nodded. Despite her constant bickering with Lü Ziang, they were actually very close friends, sharing everything.
"This?" Zhou Wenbin swallowed hard, looking at Ye Chen. The temptation was really too great.
“The Nightwalker Demon has left, so there shouldn’t be any other dark races there right now. We can go and take the high-level spirit orb, but how to deal with the leaked dark energy is a problem!” Ye Chen said in a deep voice.
He didn't want to end up like Zhou Wenbin and his group, simply taking the Holy Light Stone while leaving the source of darkness behind, ultimately leading to the widespread spread of darkness.
This situation is quite common, both on Earth and in the Trial World. Sometimes it's due to an irresponsible lord, sometimes it's because the lord is simply not strong enough, and more often it's because of lords like Zhou Wenxuan who are corrupted by darkness after taking something.
Every spread of darkness is a huge disaster.
If it weren't for the special rules suppressing the trial space, a large number of high-level dark creatures would probably have already emerged from this spatial rift.
For the new lords, it will be a catastrophic massacre.
"If we use the suppression array, I should be able to obliterate the source of darkness within the seal!" Ye Xi suddenly said.
"You can obliterate the essence of darkness?" Everyone was stunned; this was something they never expected.
The book describes only a few methods for eliminating the source of darkness: violence and holy light, followed by expending great effort to purify the dissipated dark energy.
But now Ye Xi suddenly says that she can use the suppression array to directly obliterate the source of darkness, which is beyond their understanding from books.
"It should work. When I retrieved the stone cup just now, I glanced at the suppression array nearby. Although it was no longer effective, it felt familiar."
"Give me some time, and I should be able to do it!"
Ye Xi's words shocked everyone. If that were true, they could make a fortune here!
"You mean, that magic array looks very familiar to you?" Ye Chen asked, frowning. Seeing Ye Xi nod affirmatively, he immediately had the answer in his mind.
As a member of the Moon Goddess clan with primordial blood, although she is not good at magic arrays, who in the primordial world doesn't study array pattern refining and such?
Although they weren't particularly skilled at it, those array patterns were far more profound than the magic arrays in this world, often pointing directly to the Great Dao.
Therefore, seeing the magic circle on the ground at this moment is equivalent to asking an amnesiac adult what 1 plus 1 equals.
He might not know why, but he could instinctively give the answer because it was the simplest thing for him.
"You guys go back first, I'll go find that high-grade spirit pearl!" Ye Chen said immediately, patting the mountain god beneath him, and turned to run in the direction the Nightwalker Demon had come from.
Zhou Wenbin and Gao Caidie raised their hands, but it was too late to stop it. The mountain god was very fast and disappeared into the darkness in no time.
"Sigh... It's too dangerous, I hope he's alright!" Zhou Wenbin sighed, and had no choice but to turn around and retreat with Gao Caidie towards the territory.
