However, the four of them didn't have many black crystals combined.
But this was clearly no challenge for Mo Shuwan, who had been deceiving people since the very first mission world.
“You can see that the dark essence contained in these crystals is even purer. It’s not that we didn’t collect them, but we changed our method.” After saying that, Mo Shuwan threw all the black crystals in her hand. Seeing this, Qu Dan and the other two also ran towards the monster with their black crystals.
The frantically roaring monster caught more than twenty tiny crystals, which were pitifully small to him. He threw them into his mouth and, even more unrestrained than Boss Yun, swallowed them without chewing.
A series of strange laughs rang out. Although the monster didn't make any move, Mo Shuwan knew that the crisis was temporarily over and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Very...very good...continue..."
Upon hearing the muffled sound of the stone door being opened, Mo Shuwan quickly said, "To collect these crystals that contain the essence of darkness, we need more time. One hour is not enough. Give us three hours. You can summon us back after three hours, which will save us some time. We can use that time to collect more crystals."
The monster didn't react, and the four of them were pushed out of the stone door. After the stone door closed behind them, Qu Dan looked at Mo Shuwan and sighed, "Thanks to you this time. If it were me, I probably wouldn't have been able to resist fighting this guy head-on."
Mo Shuwan shook her head. "Don't underestimate your potential."
Because they were summoned back directly by the monster, and the Black Spirit Clan hadn't returned yet, they couldn't go back to the place where they found Wen Zuo and the others. The contract's connection disappeared after they became spirits; it was unclear whether it was blocked or for some other reason…
"What do we do now? Should we just honestly collect the crystals?"
“Of course not.” Mo Shuwan shook her head. “You all heard what those Black Spirit Clan people said. If we get injured here now, even if we are healed, the wound will be assimilated into our bodies, and the wound will gradually worsen. If our bodies die, we will merge into the darkness.”
Simply put, if they die physically in this world in their current state, their souls will be devoured by darkness and become nourishment for it.
Mo Shuwan even thought that this was the reason why those monsters would decay and disappear; the darkness had made use of them.
Perhaps it was because the most urgent moment had truly arrived that the entire world had no choice but to actively absorb the nutrients from the corpses of those dead monsters.
Qu Dan and the others fell silent. It was impossible for them not to be injured. Although they hadn't seen their own bodies, they knew that the situation was definitely not optimistic.
How do I find it?
Mo Shuwan sighed a few times and shook her head, indicating that she had no clue either.
"Let's get out of here first."
It seems that all means of contacting Wen Zuo and his group have been blocked. Now, apart from the Black Spirit Clan, they really have no other way. But the Black Spirit Clan has not returned yet, and they are still burdened with the task of collecting the Dark Essence for the monsters in the Stone Gate.
It is still a task that must be done.
Just thinking about it makes me feel so frustrated.
They didn't know the location of the stone gate, so leaving wouldn't be easy. Mo Shuwan had come here earlier because of the guidance of the Black Spirit Clan, but now they had been wandering around in this area for a long time without finding an exit.
Fortunately, the previous group of Black Spirits may have notified their own people in their own way, and they were found by a new group of Black Spirits when they circled the area for the twenty-eighth time.
Qu Dan put on a fierce expression, "You delayed our trip to collect the Dark Origin, aren't you afraid it will blame you?! Next time you'd better wait here early, we can go straight back to its side, but you can't!"
The new batch of Black Spirit Clan members immediately agreed with trepidation, probably because they had already been terrified by the monsters inside the stone gate, and were now easily frightened by Qu Dan using the monsters' name.
With the Black Spirit Clan members leading the way, they were no longer worried about not finding Wen Zuo and the others, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.
"Kill as many monsters as you can on the way, so you won't have trouble explaining when you get back."
After quietly reminding her teammates, Qu Dan focused her attention on her surroundings. Although they had just requested three hours, they didn't know if the monster would agree. If it only took one hour to summon them back and they hadn't brought anything back, they might not be able to leave safely and intact next time.
While they were killing monsters, the Black Spirit Clan members stood by and watched. Of course, they didn't get to relax for long before Mo Shuwan sent them off to fight monsters and drag them over to collect black crystals for them.
