However, these stone spikes weren't aimed at Ye Bai, but rather at the segmented body of the Earthworm.

"Haha, as long as the Earthworm gets injured, it will naturally split into countless pieces."

"By then, the skills used by your Space Pet Beast will naturally become ineffective."

Jack the Digger's idea was clever, but the Space Pelican was quicker.

Its beak delved into the void, fetching a beating heart with it.

Embedded within the heart was a large Crystal Core, radiating dense Spatial Energy.

This was the heart of the Earthworm and its control core.

"Thanks, I'll gladly accept it."

The Space Pelican opened its large mouth and completely swallowed the heart.

The Earthworm's pierced body suddenly turned into black ash.

Jack the Digger stared at the ashes filling the sky, utterly stunned.

Was his strongest Pet Beast, the Earthworm, taken out just like that?

"Actually, dealing with your Pet Beast is simple; all it takes is to destroy its core."

"Alright, it's time for you to make your departure too."

Jack the Digger didn't quite grasp the meaning; before he fell into darkness, he saw his own head flying into the air.

His headless body fell heavily to the ground, and the previously blocked space returned to normal.

Since the Pet Beast Master was killed, the items placed in the Pet Beast Space exploded out.

The Clay Giant was also severely injured, its body crouched on the ground.

After sustaining injury, its body automatically transformed into a stone statue, only moving again once fully healed.

The Clay Giant's body was covered in numerous cracks, it was uncertain how long it would take to recover.

At this moment, Ye Bai noticed an ancient wooden box.

He suddenly had a strong intuition to acquire the box.

Could this be the item Jack the Digger had stolen from the Twenty-Eight Constellations?

But why does this thing appeal to me?

"Space Pelican, help me get that wooden box."

The Space Pelican's eyes flashed silver, and the box instantly appeared in Ye Bai's hand.

He could faintly sense that the contents within the box were critically important to him.

Like a bird returning to its nest after a long absence.

His hand suddenly felt a sharp pain, yet Ye Bai saw no wound.

As Ye Bai received the item, Flame Country's Qi Fortune began to surge.

The entire Hall of Destiny emitted rumbling sounds.

The Hall of Destiny was composed of a grand array, formed by the Array of the Twenty-Eight Stars, the Twelve Primordial Stars Array, the Four Symbols Grand Array.

Marshal Qilin was stationed in the depths of the hall year-round, suppressing the national destiny of Flame Country.

Since the constellations of the Twenty-Eight Stars began to destabilize, Marshal Qilin had been stationed here continuously.

Now, Marshal Qilin stationed in the Hall of Destiny was directly alerted.

"What exactly happened?"

Marshal Qilin asked his subordinates.

At this time, guarding the Hall of Destiny was Kuimu Wolf.

"Marshal Qilin Sir, there's a disturbance in the Array of the Twenty-Eight Stars."

"It seems a Soul Artifact has returned to the hands of Flame Country people."

"The previously dispersed Qi Fortune instantly stabilized significantly."

"Simultaneously, quite a lot has overflowed, causing the continual shaking of the Hall of Destiny."

Kuimu Wolf said with great respect.

"The Soul Artifact has returned?"

Marshal Qilin was overjoyed.

The Soul Artifact of the Twenty-Eight Stars must be in the hands of Flame Country people to be effective.

Sixteen years ago, the other half of the Beichen Celestial Wolf Blade disappeared mysteriously, causing disturbances in the Hall of Destiny.

This led to Marshal Qilin spending ten months of the year stationed in the Hall of Destiny.

The Beichen Celestial Wolf Blade is a dual-hand weapon, primarily divided into Sun Blade and Moon Blade.

And the mysteriously disappeared part sixteen years ago was the Sun Blade.

"It appears the Sun Blade has fallen into the hands of someone from Flame Country."

"We must exhaust all efforts to locate this person; they will become the new Kuimu Wolf."

The Soul Artifact chooses its master; only those heartfelt with Flame Country, and with a kind heart, may be acknowledged by the Soul Artifact.

At this moment, Marshal Qilin revealed a cheerful smile.

"Flame Country's national destiny rises again, bringing more talents."

"By the way, how is the global research competition going?"

"What stage is it at?"

"Those people are the elites we've nurtured; they must not fall in Beautiful Country."

Kuimu Wolf took out a communicator and checked: "Currently, the competition is nearing its end, and others have all been eliminated; only Ye Bai remains on the Deserted Island."

"His results were first in the first two rounds; if he performs well in the third round, he'll basically secure the championship title."

Upon hearing this, Marshal Qilin's heart was filled with joy: "For our nation's contestant, we must reward them generously."

When Poisonous Widow and Giant York arrived, they discovered Jack the Digger's headless corpse.

"I didn't expect Jack the Digger to die; he who mastered the Earth Escape Technique died so easily."

"Ye Bai's risk level needs reassessment."

"Giant York, this time we must join forces to face the enemy."

Poisonous Widow considered asking Angelina for help but currently, the entire island was sealed by Space King; no one could break the seal.

Moreover, this would expose their incompetence; upon returning to the organization, they would surely face harsh punishment.

Thinking of this, Poisonous Widow dismissed the idea.

"Let's continue the chase, we must kill Ye Bai here."

Ye Bai, like walking a dog, was leading Poisonous Widow and Giant York.

Until reaching near the Ice and Fire Spring.

The air was filled with the smell of sulfur.

Dense white fog permeated the area, making it nearly impossible to see even one's fingers stretch.

Though it was difficult for others, it posed no problem for Ye Bai, who waved, and the yawning Water Qilin Beast appeared.

"Come on, Water Qilin Beast, guide me a path toward the Ice and Fire Spring."

The Water Qilin Beast was currently Ye Bai's weakest Pet Beast, but it was nonetheless an Auspicious Beast.

As long as the Water Qilin Beast was willing, Ye Bai could walk to the Ice and Fire Spring with his eyes closed.

At this moment, Poisonous Widow and Giant York also reached the Ice and Fire Spring.

Looking at the pervasive white fog, Giant York glanced at Poisonous Widow.

His sense of direction was poor, something useless in this scenario.

"In such heavy fog, the wings of my Highly Poisonous Mosquito will quickly become waterlogged, making them slow to fly."

"Unless a mosquito disaster forms, once we find Ye Bai, my Highly Poisonous Mosquito will have no combat ability left."

Poisonous Widow bit her lip hard, deeply pondering how to locate Ye Bai while minimizing combat losses.

"If only Jack the Digger were alive, he could easily detect Ye Bai's current location."

Jack the Digger, burrowed underground, could hear footsteps from a thousand meters away; he was aware of all movements.

He was essentially the eyes of the entire team.

This vital support personnel was killed by Ye Bai.

Poisonous Widow pulled out a notebook and a round device from the Pet Beast Space.

She tapped on the laptop keys.

Countless reconnaissance balls the size of thumbnails appeared.

"These are reconnaissance balls Angelina gave me before I left."

"They can create a ten-mile radius map."

"But don't optimistic, Giant York; in foggy places, the chance of drawing a map is slim to none."

Poisonous Widow pressed the final key.

Reconnaissance balls immediately started moving, drawing a map on the laptop.

Soon, the map froze entirely, indicating the balls were irreparably damaged.

"These are just for show."

Giant York punched a rock, turning it to powder.

"I reviewed the map of the entire Deserted Island before arriving."

"This area seems like a valley; if I'm not mistaken, when Ye Bai reaches the dead-end, he'll surely return the same way."

"Giant York, should we take a gamble, as we don't have better solutions now?"
