Even though the entire journey was filled with strong winds and sandstorms, and even rocks the size of fists shot at it like cannonballs, it remained unaffected.

The soldier controlling the transportation drone was steady and not impatient.

Finally, after five to six minutes, the large transportation drone arrived above the power lava pool.

At this time, Jia Weixin and others could see clearly.

Because the light was sufficient here, they could all see through binoculars the massive sandstorm swirling and sweeping around.

It seemed like the whole world was in such an atmosphere.

"This... it truly looks like an apocalyptic scene!"

Chen Xianzhi marveled, although he had seen the vanished land before, observing from this perspective still shook him to the core.

This was merely caused by killing a single Celestial-level Creature.

"How's it looking?"

Jia Weixin looked toward the soldier controlling the drone, "Can the drone go down?"

"Currently no problem!" The soldier respectfully replied.

"Then keep getting closer."

Yang Yuan said, "You should be most familiar with this kind of drone. My enhancement only improved its original functionalities, making it more efficient. All you need to do is place that Spirit Monster Core into the box, and bring the box back."

"Yes!"

The military bodyguard had no extra words, silently controlling the drone.

Under the gaze of a few people, the drone arrived above the Drought Fiend Core, about five hundred meters above the lava pool.

Suddenly, the soldier controlling the drone's face changed slightly: "The drone's vision is affected, the drone's camera is showing signs of melting... the drone's framework might not withstand it."

Jia Weixin, Chen Xianzhi, and Yao Jun were all worried and looked at Yang Yuan.

Yang Yuan's heart sank: "Finish quickly, don't worry about damage, don't linger there."

"Okay."

The soldier's face was serious as he skillfully controlled the transportation drone to descend.

As the twenty-meter-long drone descended, through binoculars, Yang Yuan and others saw that the drone's surface coating was actually turning black at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It was being scorched.

"Materials reinforced by Mr. Yang Yuan can't be that fragile; it must be the heat dissipated by the Drought Fiend Core acting up!"

Chen Xianzhi said heavily.

Yang Yuan didn't speak, silently watching, feeling some concern in his heart.

If it doesn't work this time, then they have to wait for a while longer.

Because without better materials, they can only wait for their own level to improve before they can enhance better items.

And the best material currently available to the thirteenth team is the Star Blue Alloy.

Unless they use Star Blue Alloy to create such a transportation drone, it's just unknown if there's enough Star Blue Alloy.

'Hopefully the Isolation Box can withstand it.'

He prayed in his heart.

Finally, the transportation drone came to within twenty meters above the Drought Fiend Core, and two mechanical arms quickly reached toward the Drought Fiend Core.

One mechanical arm held an open Isolation Box, while the other extended like lightning toward the Drought Fiend Core, directly gripping it.

"Got it!" Chen Xianzhi said nervously and excitedly.

In an instant, through the binoculars, Yang Yuan and others saw that the mechanical arm was melting at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Quick..." Jia Weixin was even more anxious than Yang Yuan.

Luckily, the soldier operating the drone was calm enough and was skilled enough with such drones, finally managing to successfully place the Drought Fiend Core into the box.

But at that moment, the mechanical arm completely melted, thoroughly destroyed.

Not only that, but the mechanical arm holding the Isolation Box also showed signs of melting.

He hurriedly extended the third mechanical arm that was previously retracted and quickly closed the top of the Isolation Box.

"Sizzle—"

However, at that very moment, the massive transportation drone suddenly began to smoke, and sparks flew everywhere.

"Not good, the transportation drone is severely damaged, bring the box back quickly!" Jia Weixin's face changed.

The soldier responsible for operating the drone hurriedly directed the drone to fly back quickly, no longer pursuing stability, only seeking to return with the box at the fastest speed.

During this process, Yang Yuan stared intently at the box, worried that even the level-22 Isolation Box couldn't withstand the Drought Fiend Core's scorching.

Fortunately, although it appeared distorted all around, obviously at high temperature, it never deformed or melted.

Clearly, the quality of the initial materials was high enough, and it conveniently had heat resistance and anti-radiation properties, thus the box ultimately held up.

And the Drought Fiend Core, after all, was just a Spirit Monster Core, not a Celestial-level Creature.

Otherwise, if it were a Celestial-level Creature, they would have fled as far as possible, never possibly getting it into a box like this.

"Bang..."

Just as it moved away from the lava pool, the massive drone suddenly exploded, and the Isolation Box fell to the edge of the lava pool.

Everyone present, including Yang Yuan, had a change in their expressions.

The soldier bodyguard in charge of controlling the drone was also taken aback, quickly reporting: "The drone has crashed, please instruct!"

Jia Weixin looked toward Yang Yuan.

Chen Xianzhi continued to look in that direction through binoculars, saying: "The Isolation Box made by Mr. Yang Yuan has fallen outside the lava pool, not into it, and the Drought Fiend Core hasn't fallen out. The previous situation should be that this drone was already in a scrapped state, not attacked by external forces. All it needs is another ordinary drone to go over and retrieve the Isolation Box."

Yao Jun also said, "Without the influence of the Drought Fiend Core, an ordinary transportation drone could briefly withstand the high temperatures above the lava pool, as long as it doesn't linger, it should be fine."

"Then let's do that, take out another of those drones." Jia Weixin said.

Yao Jun immediately took out another transportation drone. This time, Yang Yuan did not upgrade it, directly handing it over to the previous military bodyguard for operation, and also handed over the second Isolation Box he had made before, instructing him on what to do.

This Isolation Box was larger than the first one, able to completely fit the first Isolation Box inside.

Although this Isolation Box was also level-22, its material quality was far inferior, so it was placed on the outer layer, otherwise, it couldn't withstand the power of the Drought Fiend Core.

The soldier responsible for operating the drone immediately carried out the orders, heading out with the second Isolation Box.

"Boom—"

What happened took them by surprise again; as soon as the second drone left the Ancient Ruins, it was suddenly blasted by wildly flying stones outside.

A stone the size of a human head, swept up by the raging wind, ricocheted everywhere with power comparable to a cannonball, directly exploding the drone mid-air.

As for that level one Isolation Box, it was also swept away by the gales.
