"..."

Everyone's heart sank; the outside environment was countless times harsher than they had imagined.

It's fair to say that a battlefield that exterminates Celestial-level Creatures wouldn't be that simple. It's very likely there's still residual energy from a Celestial-level Creature here.

Everyone looked at Yang Yuan.

"Let's go down. I'll reinforce one more drone, but during this time, could the box be blown away by the wind and become untraceable?" Yang Yuan asked.

"Probably not. I noticed the air around the box is distorted, indicating that it hasn't completely isolated the Drought Fiend Core. It contains strong radiation, so it shouldn't be hard to find," Chen Xianzhi said.

Moreover, I discovered there wasn't any strong wind around the box, likely preventing the wind from approaching it.

This was truly remarkable.

"That's good. Let's go down then," Yang Yuan nodded.

It's expected for the Drought Fiend Core not to be easily obtained. Hopefully, good things come with effort.

However, this time, since we only need to bring back the isolation box containing the Drought Fiend Core, there's no need to directly contact the Drought Fiend Core itself.

Therefore, the transportation drone doesn't need to be upgraded to Level 22.

Level 11 is sufficient.

During the process of having soldiers gain experience for the drone, Yang Yuan made another slightly inferior isolation box, as the previous one certainly couldn't be found, and there wasn't time to search for it slowly.

With such strong winds outside, by the time we were ready, who knows where that box would have been blown to.

More than an hour later, the transportation drone reached Level 11, with a size of only five meters in length and width.

"Let's give it a try."

The group ascended into the sky once more.

Because this type of transportation drone is paired with a unique remote control, it cannot be connected to the Power Armor.

So Yang Yuan didn't operate it personally and still had the military bodyguard control the drone.

"Buzz buzz buzz..."

The five-meter-sized drone left the Ancient Ruins, somewhat unstable in the strong wind, but it held on eventually.

"Thankfully," Jia Weixin let out a breath of relief.

It wasn't long before the drone reached the edge of the magma pool.

The box containing the Drought Fiend Core was indeed still in place, like a stabilizing force, calming the wind around it.

Even though in other places the wind and sand roared, creating an apocalyptic environment.

But at the box's location, it was calm and tranquil, indescribably mystical.

The soldier controlling the drone used the previous method to place the box containing the Drought Fiend Core into the secondary box, closed the lid, and then quickly maneuvered the drone to fly back.

"It seems to have held on," Yao Jun said happily.

Yang Yuan, Jia Weixin, and Chen Xianzhi remained silent, all holding binoculars and watching intently.

Finally, under their watchful eyes, the drone arduously flew back into the Ancient Ruins.

"Fantastic!" Minister Yao excitedly shouted, more delighted than Yang Yuan.

This time, Jia Weixin and Chen Xianzhi's faces also showed excitement.

Yang Yuan finally exhaled deeply and smiled, nodding, "Let's go down."

The group quickly returned to the ground.

Meanwhile, some superpower users who were idly watching the show nearby saw the five-meter drone returning with a basketball-sized box and all displayed expressions of excitement.

Although they had calmed down now and didn't dare to snatch the Drought Fiend Core, knowing that the box contained the core of a Celestial-level Creature, they were all incredibly excited.

"The big boss is going to make a fortune this time!"

Tan Zhiming said with a look of envy, then hooked his arm around Zhang Peng's neck, "Yueyue, your uncle knows the big boss so well, let your uncle give us a backdoor. Although we already know the big boss, suddenly disturbing him might not be good. See if we can make an appointment?"

"Let's see,"

Zhang Peng didn't rush to agree, feeling somewhat helpless in his heart.

Because his relationship with his uncle wasn't particularly good.

In fact—

The word 'good' had nothing to do with it.

'Maybe I can get Xiao Nan to help. It should be the same,' Zhang Peng thought while his eyes were fixated on the metal box gripped by the drone's mechanical arm.

The Celestial-level Creature's Spirit Monster Core, right in front of them, this might be the closest they'd ever get to a Celestial-level Spirit Monster Core in their lives.

In the future, they would have bragging rights when they met outsiders!

Chen Xianzhi suggested, "Let's not approach it yet. Let's first use instruments to check if those two boxes have any harmful effects. In case the Drought Fiend Core's power isn't completely isolated, going forward rashly..."

"Hiss hiss hiss... boom..."

Before he finished speaking, the five-meter drone caught fire abruptly, then exploded, falling from the sky.

The metal box containing the Spirit Monster Core fell to the ground, rolled a few times, and then stopped.

Many of the nearby superpower users watching the scene were startled and quickly backed away.

Yang Yuan, Jia Weixin, and Chen Xianzhi frowned as well.

But fortunately, the Drought Fiend Core had already been brought back, so they didn't have to worry about it being swept away by the fierce wind outside.

Yao Jun hurriedly took out a radiation detector and checked from a distance, saying, "No radiation detected. The drone was likely damaged outside before."

"That's good."

Yang Yuan was about to approach when Jia Weixin quickly stopped him: "Let others do it. Mr. Yang, please be patient."

Yang Yuan was now a treasure; if he suffered even the slightest injury, Jia Weixin would feel guilty.

"...Okay."

Yang Yuan didn't refuse the other's kind offer.

Soon, a military superpower user took the radiation detector and carefully examined the box that had fallen to the ground, confirming there were no issues, then brought it over: "Report, the box emits radiation that can affect ordinary people, but it has no impact on superpower users."

"Thank you, hand it over to me," Yang Yuan happily took the box.

Jia Weixin wanted to stop him, but Yang Yuan moved quickly and already had it in his hand, worrying him as he reminded, "Mr. Yang, it might be better to let Minister Yao store it first, just in case you get hurt..."

Having personally witnessed Yang Yuan's Firepower Flying Disc eliminate the Drought Fiend, even Jia Weixin unconsciously used honorifics.

"No need, I'll hold onto this myself, I'm not that fragile."

Yang Yuan lovingly cradled the basketball-sized box; inside was the Drought Fiend Core.

This wasn't a matter of trust anymore.

Holding this kind of item personally brings peace of mind.

This Spirit Monster Core is not the core of the small Drought Fiend from before, but the true Celestial-level Spirit Monster Core of the True Drought Fiend.

Just this one Spirit Monster Core is worth more than all the items he had put together.

Yang Yuan didn't care about anything else and joyfully carried the box towards the original site of the safe zone.

During this moment of great achievement, he inexplicably felt the urge to find someone to share his feelings with.
