When things quieted down again, the worker bees had turned into countless parts scattered all over the ground.

"This is still a no-fly zone!" Zhao Manyan cursed. He was one of only two mages in the team with winged magical artifacts. How could he possibly play after being nerfed like this?

"It seems we'll have to do it manually."

Nan Jue said seriously, "This canyon is more than 300 meters long, and we don't have enough elemental instruments. We need to use a relay method. We need someone to set up the front line and someone to retrieve the items."

“I’ll lead the charge,” Ai Jiangtu said.

“Hmm, the stone elementals ahead aren’t too strong yet. Your spatial magic shouldn’t alert them,” Nan Jue said, glancing at Xu Fang: “Xu Fang, if possible, please cover our retreat.”

Xu Fang nodded indifferently: "Okay."

This mission is quite dangerous; without special skills, anyone would be devoured by the stone elemental beings before the equipment could even be properly debugged.

Nan Jue stood at the valley entrance and demonstrated for Ai Jiangtu. She inserted the elemental instrument into the ground, adjusted it manually, and nodded in agreement only after the elemental instrument began to flash with a green light.

Ai Jiangtu nodded, and with a spatial spell, he flashed into the valley, burying the instrument before the stone man could emerge.

Then came the second and the third.

The group successfully ventured deep into the valley.

Xu Fang walked at the very back, collecting the elemental instruments from before and handing them over to Ai Jiangtu in front.

There were a few mistakes along the way that almost triggered a riot by the stone demons. Fortunately, they were dealt with in time, preventing a major disaster.

Nan Jue said, "Once we turn the corner ahead, we'll be out of the Gobi Valley!"

Everyone was overjoyed. Nima had been living in fear the whole way, and finally he saw hope!

The corner was quite sharp, so Ai Jiangtu and his group turned the corner and went out first.

"You go first, I'll go retrieve the elemental instrument," Xu Fang said.

Jiang Shaoxu nodded: "I'll wait for you."

"You don't need to wait anymore," a cold voice said.

Lu Yilin stood more than seventy meters away from Xu Fang, his face looking as ugly as if he had eaten shit.

Beside him was the second elemental instrument.

"What do you want to do?" Jiang Shaoxu questioned.

"What are you doing, you lowly woman? I told you long ago you'd regret your choice!" Lu Yilin sneered. From childhood to adulthood, there was nothing he couldn't get if he wanted it!

If you can't have it, then there's no need for it to exist!

He reached out, grabbed the elemental instrument, and pulled it upwards sharply!

"Crack~~~Crack~~~Crack~~~~~~"

The stone walls on both sides suddenly trembled, and sharp-featured faces appeared on them, followed by bodies, which were forcibly pulled out of the stone walls.

Warrior-level, Forbidden Moon Stone Demon!

"go to hell!"

Lu Yilin said fiercely.

"Bastard!" If he could, Jiang Shaoxu would have loved to chop off this scoundrel's head with his Soul Cleansing Sword.

I didn't do anything! Just because I don't like you, does that mean I should die?

"Swear all you want, I'll be back with the others to collect your corpses later." Lu Yilin sneered, turning to leave.

"A solar halo!"

Xu Fang raised his hand and cast an instant spell, freezing Lu Yilin in place.

When Lu Yilin finally broke free, he found himself surrounded by the Forbidden Moon Stone Demons.

"You lunatic! You're a lunatic!" Lu Yilin cursed, "You actually harmed your teammates' lives, you all deserve to die!"

He really couldn't understand why there was such a bastard as Xu Fang in the world. He was already dead, but he still had to drag others down with him.

—What came next broke his defenses even more.

Behind Xu Fang, a colorless and formless sound-based star trail flashed by.

"Insect chirp!"

Damn it, don't forget the bond between sound and vibration, you bastard!

The chirping of insects caused the ground to tremble slightly, and countless Forbidden Moon Stone Demons emerged from the stone walls, searching aimlessly for their enemies.

Soon, under Xu Fang's deliberate guidance, they turned their attack towards Lu Yilin—the place where the vibrations were strongest!

"Let's go." Xu Fang and Jiang Shaoxu took the opportunity to leave quickly. Although they attracted some Forbidden Moon Stone Demons, none of them posed a threat.

"help me!"

As they approached the valley entrance, Lu Yilin's desperate cries for help came from behind.

"Save your mother!" Jiang Shaoxu exploded, delivering a mental spell to his head.

Lu Yilin's mind went blank for a moment, and he stumbled back two steps and fell to the ground.

Although Jiang Shaoxu was furious, she controlled her strength very well. Being stunned didn't hurt her brain, and Lu Yilin quickly came to her senses after a moment of confusion.

—Then, he saw that the area was filled with giant stone golems.

Today, the light of righteousness shines upon the earth once more.

······

As Xu Fang passed a bend in the Gobi Desert, he saw a color on the rock face that was completely different from the orange-red rock.

With its crystal-like smoothness and purity, it looked so unique.

The stone demon's earlier rampage had allowed this thing to shake off the dust and see the light of day again, and Xu Fang could sense a tremendous amount of energy within it.

"Bring it to you!"

Xu Fang swung out an ice chain and forcefully pried the gem out of the mountain wall.

move on.

The scorching sun shone brightly at the exit of the Gobi Valley, where the valley suddenly opened up into a bright and open space.

Ahead lay a flat expanse, just like the land before, except that the soil was still orange-red, and the horizon was clearly visible.

The Forbidden Moon Stone Demons, fearing sunlight, all stood in the shadows, too afraid to come out.

"What happened? Where is Lu Yilin?" Ai Jiangtu, who came to provide support, asked hurriedly.

"That bastard pulled out the elemental instrument, trying to kill us, but ended up getting himself trapped," Xu Fang said. Jiang Shaoxu added, "Serves him right!"

Everyone glanced at the valley and found that it was completely occupied by the Forbidden Moon Stone Demons. The entire valley was surrounded and there wasn't even a gap to be found.

"Lu Yilin is doomed."

"Who the hell could escape from here?"

"So, are we going in or not?"

"Ahem... This matter needs a procedure. How about we report it first and let the advisor decide?"

Everyone had different feelings, their feet rooted to the spot, spouting meaningless nonsense.

Ai Jiangtu said seriously, "I personally am willing to believe you, but I'm afraid the Lu family won't be satisfied with this reason."

"Who cares? I almost lost my life, can't I even defend myself?" Jiang Shaoxu rolled her eyes. "The Lu family? Let my dad talk to them!"

Damn it, if a rich girl doesn't act arrogantly, what kind of rich girl is she!

Chapter 281 The Mineral Vein, the Wrath of the Nazca Lines

No one went to collect Lu Yilin's body; one reason was that they didn't dare, and the other was that they still didn't dare.

The first thing they dared not do was fear the Forbidden Moon Stone Demon in the Gobi Canyon.

The second reason they dared not was because they were afraid of Xu Fang and Jiang Shaoxu, this fierce couple. From murder to cleanup, it was a complete industry chain!

"We'll see the ancient ruins and city in just four kilometers," Nan Jue said happily.

"The wind element has become very strong," Guan Yu said, his eyes filled with anticipation. If he could obtain a wind-elemental soul seed in the ancient city, wouldn't he be able to easily defeat Mo Fan and Xu—but let's not even talk about that...?

"Holy crap, look over there!"

Zhao Manyan exclaimed and pointed ahead. There, a hurricane like a black dragon rose from the ground and pierced through the sky, creating a stunning visual effect!

"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!"

Xu Fang sensed that Whale's Mark was somewhat moved, so he released El Niño. The little guy stood on Xu Fang's shoulder, drooling as he watched the hurricane.

"Do you want to eat?" Xu Fang asked.

El Niño nodded vigorously, then cautiously shook its head. It didn't want to put Xu Fang in a difficult position; it could resist the urge to eat...

"I'll get it for you in a bit." Xu Fang tapped its forehead with his index finger, and El Niño squinted and raised its little head.

Dad is the best!

Xu Fang squinted at the hurricane. "My little one is hungry and wants to eat this precious treasure... I guess I'll just have to make the fish suffer a bit."

Besides the hurricanes that make El Niño's mouth water, there are also streaks of purple-gold lightning, thick as pythons, flying wildly!

······

The wind and thunder roared, creating a terrifying spectacle.

Jiang Yu sent out his giant rock beast, and after seeing that the poor giant rock beast was almost killed on the spot, the others did not dare to make any rash moves.

They set up their tents in an open area, intending to make a decision the next day.

Ai Jiangtu reported Lu Yilin's matter to the National Academy instructors. Xu Fang and Jiang Shaoxu did not stop him. The Lu family's protests and dissatisfaction were naturally handled by General Jiang, so why not use them?

"Look at this." Xu Fang took out the crystal.

Jiang Shaoxu's eyes lit up, and her face beamed with barely suppressed joy: "Where did you get this?"

"We cut it off the mountain wall when we came out of the canyon."

"This is a Yuan Crystal, the most important material for refining the Soul Seed!"
