Take the Vampire Empress with you when the game launches!

"All right!"

The distress call had been sent, and the team members breathed a sigh of relief. The astral reinforcements would arrive quickly, and all they had to do was hold out against these guys until reinforcements arrived.

Just then, a figure swayed over. Judging from the person's clothes and appearance, the team members thought he was the person in charge of this place.

"Hey! Get these people to stop right now!"

The team member stepped forward and shouted at the person in charge, but the person in charge stopped in front of the team member, lowered his head, and seemed to be doing something.

"Hey!"

The team member reached out and shook the person in charge's shoulder. Suddenly, the team member's eyes widened as a tentacle emerged from the person in charge's body, piercing through the team member's heart and contaminating it.

The other team members found it strange that the team member suddenly stopped moving.

"Hey! What's wrong?"

They had just asked a question when a sudden attack arrived, blasting the team members apart with a loud bang, leaving them completely bewildered.

What's wrong with you?!

"Wait, look at his chest!"

An octopus-headed creature was crawling into the hole in the chest of the team member who was attacking them.

"...The Star Families".

They realized something was wrong and immediately launched a counterattack, but the other vagrants had already surrounded them, subdued them, and brought them under control.

The squad leader was still praying for reinforcements to arrive, but what he didn't know was that the message hadn't even reached headquarters.

"what!!!"

With the captain's screams, the squad fell, and other squads elsewhere suffered similar fates, with no one escaping unscathed.

Headquarters

The people inside received the information from the investigation, and after questioning and investigating each of the homeless people, they found that there were no problems.

After receiving the report, the Star Council did not pursue it further. The council chairman stared at the report for a while, and although he had doubts, he put it down. Perhaps there really was nothing wrong, and it would be putting the cart before the horse to worry too much about it.

The most important thing now is that the Astral Army has gone to the Star Families' armory, and the battle has begun.

According to the frontline battle map obtained by the Star Council, the Astral Army was overwhelming the Star Families.

In the battlefield

The Astral army was ambushed by the Star Families from the very beginning; they had been lying in wait for a long time.

How did these guys know about us?

The commanders of the forces did not quite understand the behavior patterns of this Star Familia, whose actions were completely beyond their expectations.

"The Star Council should be sending reinforcements to support us soon, everyone hold on!"

If there is danger here, the Star Council will definitely be able to see it, however, this is based on the premise that no one interferes.

What they don't know now is that the battlefield is covered by a layer of imperceptible black mist, severing their connection with the Star Council, and the information they received from the Star Council is also false.

"Foolish creature, welcome the power of the great Savior!"

The octopus-man who commanded this army of Starkin raised his scepter, and countless enormous tentacles suddenly emerged from beneath the ground, not only dividing the battlefield but also sweeping across the Starkin army.

"Damn it! We need to retreat immediately!"

Realizing something was wrong, the commander ordered the surviving troops to evacuate quickly, but the Star Familia certainly wouldn't give them that chance; the Star Familia couldn't reveal their movements yet.

In the direction of retreat, the Star Families' army blocked the Astral Army's escape route, catching the Astral Army completely off guard.

“They’ve calculated everything. The Star Council was probably fooled too. We absolutely cannot let them succeed. We must warn the Star Council.”

The commander decided that even if it meant death, a small group of people had to break through the encirclement and bring the message back, otherwise the Astral Plane would suffer a catastrophe.

Meanwhile, the Star God of Evil led his army to the treasure trove. It would take some time to find the entrance. He had already received news that the army sent by the Astral Plane to exterminate the Star Families had been caught off guard, and a small portion of them had escaped the encirclement.

"Heh, you can't escape..."

The Star God sneered...

Chapter 363 The Third Treasure Site

in the wilderness

A small squad of less than fifty men, heavily wounded, traversed the wilderness; they were the only warriors to escape from the encirclement of the Star Families.

They paid a heavy price to escape the encirclement, and in the end, only they remained. The task on their shoulders was extremely heavy. If the Star Council could not learn of the Star Families' movements, the Star Realm might suffer a catastrophic disaster, and then it wouldn't just be a matter of them dying.

How much further do we have to go before we reach the main urban area?

The exhausted warriors, having been constantly on the move, dared not stop, for fear of being overtaken by the Star Families' army.

"I'm not sure, but we're definitely almost there. We came out by crossing this wilderness area..."

While running away, they did not forget to keep an eye on the pursuers behind them. The Star Familiars seemed to have given up on chasing them and had disappeared from sight.

"It seems the Star Familia haven't caught up?"

"No way, they'll let us go? If we go back and report the situation to the Star Council, they're definitely doomed."

"Don't let your guard down, keep going, ignore him."

Whether they pursue us or not, we must send the intelligence back.

The pursuing Star Familia is gone, but they still cannot stop. The battle situation is constantly changing, and even a minute's delay could be fatal.

On the other side of the battlefield, the Star Familia army did indeed stop pursuing those Star Races and began clearing the battlefield.

The corpses of those astral forces are seen as very useful vessels by the Star Families. A major goal of the Star Families is to parasitize the astral races and thus force them to extinction.

That's how they did it in the old era, and that's how they do it in the new era. If it weren't for the Titans they encountered in the old era, they would have already manipulated the Star Races to wage war against the outside world and eventually ruled all the worlds.

The corpses were resurrected after being parasitized by the Star Families, and they were able to use their original powers.

Near the border of the main city area, the escaped team could finally breathe a sigh of relief; having entered the main city area meant they were safe.

"Phew... We've finally arrived. Can we take a break now?"

The soldiers who could no longer hold on collapsed to the ground. A perfectly good army of ten thousand men was wiped out in an instant. In the end, it was still these ordinary soldiers who survived. Sometimes being strong is not a good thing; it makes you more vulnerable to being targeted and killed in the first instance.

"Let's rest for a bit, it should be safe here now..."

The team sat down to rest for a while, intending to set off again later, when suddenly a group of figures appeared in the distance.

This immediately put them on high alert again, even though they had just had a short rest and their nerves hadn't had time to relax.

"What are you doing? Those coming from over there definitely aren't Star Familiars..."

A more composed warrior pointed out that the direction was towards the main city, and unless the main city had already fallen, those coming were definitely their own kind.

"Those people look like homeless people..."

The soldiers recognized the people by their clothing and appearance.

"The homeless man should be alright. Let's continue resting. If they can help, that would be great..."

The soldiers didn't intend to pay any attention to these vagrants, thinking they were just out looking for something and could be ignored.

However, the group of wanderers had their sights set on these soldiers who had escaped from the encirclement.

"Wait! Something seems wrong!"

When the soldiers saw the wanderers surrounding them, they immediately warned the others to prepare for battle. However, the wanderers had already surrounded them and trapped them in the center.

"What do you think you're doing! We've returned with vital intelligence! If you delay us, the entire Astral Plane could be in danger!"

The soldiers tried to use the severity of the situation to force the homeless to make way for them, but the homeless stood there blankly, staring at them without moving, as if they couldn't understand them.

Thump, thump...

The hearts of the surrounded soldiers pounded.

The wanderers surrounding them all took a step forward, one step after another, and the squad, realizing something was wrong, immediately tried to break through the encirclement.

"Let's fight our way out!"

The squad launched an attack on the vagrants, attempting to fight their way through, but just as they passed one of the vagrants, a member of the squad was captured and shot through the body.

One soldier after another died, and the last remaining squad was wiped out. The news never reached the Star Council.

The third treasure location

The Star God and his army were still searching for the entrance to the treasure in the dune region, and Qin Yu and Yin Feixue also spotted the Star Familiars in the distance.

"Wait, Xiaoxue, let's move away from that guy..." Qin Yu locked onto the powerful evil god. If they got too close, the evil god might detect them, so they had to keep their distance.

"He feels stronger than the Evil God King..." This was Yin Feixue's immediate impression. She didn't know why, even though he was called the Evil God King, every evil god that appeared afterward was stronger than him...

“They must be searching for the last treasure just like us. Let’s not move and wait for them to find the entrance first.”

As the saying goes, it's better to wait for the enemy to tire themselves out and let these Star Families work for us to find the entrance to the treasure.

Luna then appeared. She glanced into the distance and sensed the familiar presence returning. The third treasure was nearby.

"Luna, can you sense the treasure again?"

"Ok!"

It seems that two of these three treasures are related to Luna, an ancient astral being, and the other is related to the Titans but also has connections to the ancient astral realm.

"Resolved, very good. The people of the Astral Plane should once again feel the fear that the Star Familiar instilled in them..."

The Star God of Evil was overjoyed to learn that the last survivors of the army had been wiped out, bringing him one step closer to his plan to control the Astral Plane. Once he found the treasure here, he could return to command the army and, together with the forces in the Astral Plane's main city, launch a deadly attack on the Astral Plane.

After a thorough search by the Star Families, they finally found a very hidden entrance, which was actually under quicksand and would normally be completely undetectable.

Qin Yu and Yin Feixue watched as the Star Familiars jumped into quicksand one by one, and the Star Evil God also entered it.

"It seems the entrance is in the quicksand..." Qin Yu
