When they saw the green bird rushing straight into the crater, Ye Haoran and the other three immediately grabbed the green bird's feathers tightly, afraid that they would fall.
Swoosh!
The inside of the volcano had already dried up, leaving only a dark passage.
The green bird flew down the tunnel nimbly and stopped after a few hundred meters.
Boom!
In front of Ye Haoran was a huge stone cave. Dozens of spiritualists were controlling their contract spirits to bombard the rock wall at the edge of the cave, constantly expanding the space.
"Hehe." The feminine-looking young man sneered and walked to the side with a smile as if his scheme had succeeded. He began to attack the rock wall with the others.
Ye Haoran narrowed his eyes. The feminine-looking young man's expression was enough to show that this was not a good place to be.
"Hurry up, dig. Don't waste our time," the middle-aged man said in a deep voice, pointing to an empty pit.
"I naturally had a purpose for saving you. I never lose out on a deal."
"You are destroying the spirit veins!" exclaimed the extremely weak Yu Fa as he suddenly stood up and pointed at the glowing holes. He continued, "This will destroy this alternate dimension!"
"It's not good to know too much," said the middle-aged man as he stood up slowly, exuding the aura of a great spiritualist. He said to Yu Fa, "I don't like it when people know too much."
Yu Fa was about to say something, but Ye Haoran quickly covered his mouth and said to the middle-aged man calmly, "Noted. We will go and bombard the wall now."
The middle-aged man's stiff eyes swept over Ye Haoran's body. After a moment, he said in a hoarse voice, "There won't be a next time."
After saying that, he hopped onto the green bird again and randomly picked two people to accompany him. The green bird flapped its wings and left the place.
Seeing that the middle-aged man had left, the dozens of people in the pit all heaved a sigh of relief, but their movements did not slow down at all.
"What are spirit veins? Are they important?" Ye Haoran asked curiously as he controlled the Divine Dragon Swinging Tail to hit the rock wall.
When the middle-aged man exuded the aura of a great spiritualist, Ye Haoran knew that the other party had come with ill intentions.
In order to prevent excessive damage to the alternate dimension, experts at the level of great spiritualists were not allowed to enter the dimension.
The other party had concealed his strength and had come to cause trouble in secret. His identity was obvious.
Only the New World Church would do such a crazy thing in China.
Yu Fa's sudden outburst of justice and his desire to fight against the other party clearly showed that the spirit veins were very important.
Yu Fa gently rubbed the stone wall with his palm and explained to them, "The spiritual Qi in the alternate dimension is recycled. After the vicious beasts die, the spiritual Qi they have absorbed will be channeled back to the ground. Then, through a certain underground channel, the spiritual Qi will be condensed and supplied to various kinds of vegetation."
He continued, "The spirit veins in front of us are those underground channels. If the spirit veins are completely destroyed, the entire alternate dimension will be destroyed as well."
Ye Haoran was stunned. He had not expected the veins to be so important.
The terrorists of the New World Church had committed all kinds of evil!
Half an hour passed by in a flash. Ye Haoran and the others had only managed to smash a small piece of the rock wall in front of them into pieces.
Swoosh!
The big green bird returned again, and four wounded spiritualists were on its back.
Two of them were still thanking the middle-aged man, but when they saw the huge hole in the ground, they instantly lost their cool.
"What are you guys doing? Is this a terrorist attack?"
"I refuse to join! Let me go!"
A square-faced man kept shouting, not noticing that the middle-aged man's expression had changed.
Bang!
With a loud sound, the big green bird flapped its wings and turned the square-faced man into a bloody foam. The stench of blood spread in all directions.
"You're a great spiritualist!" said the other skinny man in horror. Just as he was about to run, he was swallowed up by the big green bird.
The remaining two survivors trembled and stood at the side, not daring to raise their heads.
The middle-aged man scanned his surroundings indifferently to see if anyone was slacking off.
Ye Haoran and the others were not suspected.
They were injured to begin with, and their levels were relatively low, so it was understandable that they had made little progress.
In the blink of an eye, a few hours had passed.
Boom!
By now, more than 100 spiritualists had been brought to this huge hole. One after another, dazzling skills bombarded the rock wall, sending debris flying.
The middle-aged man did not leave. Instead, he sat on a boulder in the open space and monitored the crowd to prevent any resistance.
Ye Haoran casually activated a Divine Dragon Swinging Tail and looked back at the passage above him.
The sun had risen outside, and a few rays of sunlight shone in, accompanied by the faint roar of beasts.
Even after a few hours had passed, the beast riot in the scorching field had not stopped.
Occupied by the vicious beasts, no one knew when the spirit guards would find them.
Crack.
Suddenly, a clear crisp sound reached everyone's ears. The spiritual Qi in the air instantly became viscous and scorching hot.
At the same time, a very oppressive feeling loomed over everyone, as if something bad was about to happen.
A spirit vein had been severed!
Ye Haoran and Guan Yueyue looked at each other and sighed.
It was obvious that the New World Church had made many preparations, and they weren't just cutting off the spirit vein here.
Roar!
A deafening tiger's roar suddenly rang out, and the earth trembled violently. The scorching spiritual Qi in the air quickly gathered in one direction.
Outside, 100 kilometers away from the volcano range where Ye Haoran and the others were, there was a huge lava lake.
The surroundings of the lava lake were in shambles. Most of the mountains that had once stood tall around here had collapsed, and huge rock fragments were everywhere.
A few bubbles appeared in the middle of the lava lake, and then a large amount of lava suddenly spurted out. A giant Flaming Tiger stepped into the air and looked around.
After sensing the change in the spiritual Qi in the air, the giant Flaming Tiger roared and pounced forward.
Bang!
The huge impact caused the air to ripple, and a transparent barrier appeared in the air, blocking the giant Flaming Tiger's path.
"Humph, you animal. Can't you just sit still for a while?"
Three figures appeared in the air. The left-most bald man snorted coldly and injected a few streaks of spiritual power into the transparent barrier.
"We've come to destroy its territory. How can it sit still?"
The charming woman on the right chuckled and looked at the giant Flaming Tiger.
"Why don't you be my pet? I'll take care of you."
Roar!
The giant Flaming Tiger was furious and slammed into the barrier a few more times. It could obviously understand the woman's words.
"Alright, enough with the chit-chat. Pay attention to maintaining the protective barrier. Do not disturb the Archbishop."
A young man in casual clothes in the middle stopped the two of them from talking and looked up at the sky at the same time.
One could see a figure in Taoist clothing at the top of the transparent barrier.
The bald man and the woman immediately shut their mouths. They were clearly a little afraid of the figure in the sky.
The three of them silently watched as the giant Flaming Tiger slowly sank back into the lava lake. Its body gradually disappeared.
