Oh no! I'm surrounded by the main characters!

But against a monster like Oxser, those arrows were practically nothing more than a tickle.

Luo Chuan stood up, glancing thoughtfully in the direction the group of Phoenix Clan members had just left. Clearly, their purpose in coming in was also for the Phoenix Crystal.

Although he remembered that the Phoenix Crystal in this space had its own consciousness and would actively seek good fortune and avoid misfortune, it could not be like the Azure Dragon Crystal, which contained the Azure Dragon Divine Beast, which could even transform into an Azure Dragon Warrior.

Moreover, the authenticity of Dr. Shi in this world is not so simple. Since he was able to enter this other-dimensional space, if he has other means to find the hidden Phoenix Crystal, wouldn't I have made a wasted trip?

After thinking it over, Luo Chuan put the Qilin cub at his feet back into the backpack on his back, glanced in the direction of the prison cell, and chased after the group of Phoenix Clan members who had just disappeared.

"Alright, Fei, Fatty, you're not in any danger staying in the cell anyway, why don't you stay a little longer?"

"I'll come back and rescue you after I've dealt with things outside."

Chapter 150 The Deal of Magic Crystals

Let's go back a few hours.

Just after Luo Chuan eliminated Cold-Blooded Piccolo and the Oxer he brought, and used the Qilin cub's spatial abilities to enter the Phoenix Sanctuary, a hidden extradimensional space within the totem,

A short while later, another series of hurried footsteps came from the foot of the mountain. Yi Feiyang and the others, who had just escaped down the mountain, returned here with the villagers from the foot of the mountain.

"It's right ahead!"

"Don't let these monsters that have invaded the holy land get away."

Armed with hoes, shovels, and other makeshift weapons, a large group of villagers, led by the old village chief, hurriedly rushed towards the back mountain where the phoenix totem was located.

But when they arrived at the back of the mountain, they found that the battle had already ended. Apart from the messy surroundings, there were only a few crooked and unconscious figures scattered around.

"What about people?"

"Isn't it said that there are monsters inside the holy land?"

Looking at the empty holy site, the villagers who had been summoned by the village chief and others gripped their weapons and gazed around in confusion.

Seeing this, Yi Feiyang and the others looked around. Yi Dashan came to a big tree and looked at the unconscious figure lying on the ground.

"Feifei, village chief, come here quickly."

Upon hearing this, Yi Feiyang immediately ran over. After seeing the person's appearance clearly, he pointed at him and said, "It's him, one of those guys who turned into monsters before."

Then, after glancing around, they ran to several other locations to confirm the identities of the unconscious individuals.

Finally, he looked at Yi Dashan and the old village chief with a somber expression and nodded to them.

"These people are all those guys who turned into monsters."

Recalling the hideous appearance of those people transformed into Oxens, Yi Feiyang, Yi Dashan, and the others couldn't help but shudder.

They never expected that after only a short time away, the once ferocious and arrogant Oxer had turned back into an unconscious human.

"What exactly happened here? Why are they here again like this? Where did Luo Chuan go?"

Yi Dashan scratched his head, his face full of confusion and doubt.

"Could it be that Luo Chuan defeated them? Where did Luo Chuan go? We rushed up from the foot of the mountain, but we didn't see any trace of him."

Yi Feiyang seemed to recall the legends about the sacred land that the old village chief had told them earlier. He arrived at the towering totem that stood in the forest like a phoenix spreading its wings, stroked his chin, and gazed at the totem.

"Could it be that he really entered the 'garden' the village chief mentioned?"

Just as the uncle and nephew were talking quietly, the village chief, who had arrived with the villagers, had clearly realized this as well. He excitedly led the villagers to the phoenix totem.

A group of people instantly knelt down before the totem, their faces filled with the excitement of faith appearing before them.

"It's the 'Garden,' it must be the 'Garden' that has appeared! The people who appeared before must be warriors of the divine bird!"

These are warriors sent by the divine bird we worship to protect us and defeat the invaders of our sacred land!

Seeing the old village chief and the many villagers who were beginning to devoutly worship the phoenix totem, Yi Feiyang and his companion exchanged a glance, unsure of what to say.

Not far from the group, behind a large tree, Ye Qing carefully hid behind the trunk, watching Yi Feiyang and his nephew, along with the many villagers kneeling and praying before the phoenix totem, with an expression of "I knew it."

After learning of Ai Xiaoyu's disappearance, Yi Feiyang and Yi Dashan went up the mountain to search for her, but left her in the village to guard Ao Tian.

When Yi Feiyang and the other person hurriedly returned, she sensed something was wrong. So she decided to secretly follow them up the mountain. As expected, something happened on the mountain that she was unaware of.

Seeing that everyone's attention was focused on the phoenix totem, Ye Qing nimbly moved to the side of the human who had previously been knocked unconscious by Luo Chuan after he eliminated the Oxer virus from his body.

Pinch the unconscious human's chin to straighten his face, and after confirming that she had never seen this person before, Ye Qing frowned slightly, a bad feeling rising in her heart.

"The group of helpers the professor mentioned...could it be these guys?"

She suddenly recalled that when she last contacted Dr. Shi, he had told her that he had sent a group of people to assist him and Ao Tian.

But there had been no news for a while, and she had even forgotten about it until she saw this group of people today.

After glancing at Yi Feiyang and the others in the distance to make sure he hadn't been discovered, he took out a communicator that resembled a makeup mirror from his pocket.

As the communicator connected, Dr. Shi's figure appeared on the communicator screen, and his voice came through it.

"Ye Qing, why are you contacting me all of a sudden? Is something the matter?"

Over the communicator, Dr. Shi, who was currently in his villa, frowned slightly at Ye Qing's sudden contact and asked, gripping his scepter.

"Doctor, there's an emergency here, and I need to confirm a few things with you."

"Unexpected situation?"

Upon hearing Ye Qing's words, Dr. Shi suddenly felt a sense of foreboding. Ye Qing then briefly recounted to Dr. Shi everything she had heard and seen while following the group.

Inside the villa, after listening to Ye Qing's concise and clear account of everything, Dr. Shi's face instantly darkened.

"Doctor...so those people were sent by you?"

Seeing Dr. Shi's face, which was almost as black as the bottom of a pot, through the communicator, Ye Qing had a basic guess in mind, but she still cautiously asked to confirm one last time.

Upon hearing this, Dr. Shi took two deep breaths to calm himself down, then stood up and pondered for a moment before pacing around the villa.

Based on Ye Qing's description, he was now certain that the guys Ye Qing had discovered were the Oxer test subjects he had sent from Nanbo City.

Because the characteristics of those experimental subjects at this moment are exactly the same as those of the Oxens that were destroyed in Nanbo City.

This clearly indicates that all the Oxer test subjects he sent out had been eliminated.

Thinking of this, Dr. Shi gripped the scepter tightly with his right hand, gritted his teeth, and his eyes showed anger.

Although the Orks he sent were only the lowest-level Orks born from inhaling the zombie virus and combining it with violent genes in their bodies, they were still beyond the capabilities of ordinary humans.

Moreover, even if something unexpected happened to that Oxer test subject, there was also the even more powerful Cold-Blooded Piccolo among them. Cold-Blooded Piccolo's strength was such that even the super armor developed within the Tian Tian Hao Group was no match for him. How could he be eliminated along with those Oxers?

"Who exactly is it?"

Dr. Shi paced back and forth in the villa, scepter in hand, his brow furrowed, pondering who possessed the power to eliminate these Oxens in one fell swoop.

Suddenly he stopped, a hint of suspicion flashing in his eyes, as a face that had troubled him recently came to mind.

"Could it be that kid again?"

Dr. Shi's eyes narrowed slightly, but he then shook his head. More than figuring out who had dealt with the Oukers, he had another question.

Originally, he wanted these Oxer test subjects to find the hidden alternate dimension behind the Cheshi Ancient Road and try to find the Phoenix Crystal hidden there.

Now that these Oukers have been dealt with, how do I open the gate to this other-dimensional space and find the Phoenix Crystal within?

Is it possible that after finally finding the whereabouts of a Four Spirit Crystal, I'm just going to watch it slip through my fingers?

Thinking of this, Dr. Shi gritted his teeth, his face contorted with anger.

Just as Dr. Shi was filled with anger, as if sensing the anger in his heart, ripples spread across the space inside the villa, like the surface of a lake being splashed.

The next moment, a dense shadow power emanated, and a dark magic crystal broke through the air.

"Hehe, Doctor, you seem quite troubled."

A dark green magic crystal appeared inside the villa, emanating a sinister energy fluctuation.

The deep, hoarse voice of Evilwood emanated from the magic crystal, and its seductive tone made Dr. Shi, who was already worried, frown even more.

"Hmph! What, are you here to make a fool of yourself?"

Upon seeing this, Dr. Shi snorted coldly, his eyes fixed on the magic crystal not far in front of him, a smirk playing on his lips, his tone seemingly extremely displeased.

"Haha, Doctor, don't misunderstand."

The magic crystal trembled in the air for a moment, then slowly floated to Dr. Shi's side.

"We're here to help you."

"help me?"

Upon hearing Evilwood's words, Dr. Shi's tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly, but his gaze towards the magic crystal still held a deep sense of suspicion.

"Yes."

The voice of the evil wood within the magic crystal continued, "If I understand correctly, Doctor, you want to open a portal to another dimension, right?"

Upon hearing Evilwood's words reveal his true intentions, Dr. Shi snorted coldly but did not deny it.

He used to be angry that the evil tree was secretly investigating him, but now that he is getting closer to the evil tree, he finds that his anger is useless and no longer cares about it.

"What, you mean you can help me open the door to that other-dimensional space?"

Dr. Shi sneered, seemingly back to his former self as a powerful business director. He walked to the sofa and sat down, raising an eyebrow as he looked at the magic crystal.

"good."
