Chen Xianzhi and Jia Weixin exchanged bitter smiles.

Chen Xianzhi said, "Leader, let's not think about it. Even if we sold our entire thirteenth squad, we couldn't afford that Spirit Monster Core."

In fact, even if the entire Earth Alliance was sold, it probably couldn't afford it either.

"Do you need to say that?"

Jia Weixin glared at his aide and then quickly caught up.

He didn't deny his envy, but he also knew he couldn't afford it, nor could he carry it.

That thing was too hot to handle, even if he managed to get it, he might not be able to bear it.

At this moment, he didn't even dare to consider purchasing it, for fear that Yang Yuan would misunderstand.

After all, it was a Celestial-level Spirit Monster Core!

Didn't you see that those Wild Superpower Users almost completely lost their minds?

Luckily, his resolve was firm and not easily shaken.

The main point was, he knew very well, although the Celestial-level Spirit Monster Core was precious, what's truly more valuable was Yang Yuan as a talent.

After all, even if they acquired the Drought Fiend's Spirit Monster Core now, they couldn't utilize it, just store it.

But Yang Yuan, as a talent, could provide them with good things anytime.

If any rift formed with him, any future collaboration would be costly, and that was unacceptable.

"Minister Yao, pack everything up."

Chen Xianzhi instructed Yao Jun to take care of things, like packing up the broken 3D printer and the transportation drone that Yang Yuan discarded.

That transportation drone was completely scrapped, Yang Yuan dismissed it, but they valued it.

Not to mention, just the reinforced materials alone were valuable, Leader Chen would definitely be interested.

Even though it was considered scavenging, they wouldn't reject such valuable "garbage" no matter how much of it there was.

"Oh right, if there's any hope, try to find the box we lost earlier." Chen Xianzhi added, now he wouldn't underestimate anything Yang Yuan created.

"I'm afraid there's little hope." Yao Jun said with a bitter smile.

The wind outside was too strong; people couldn't go out, and they couldn't utilize the power of Superpower Users.

Even ordinary drones couldn't fly outside.

"Do your best."

Chen Xianzhi didn't insist, gave an instruction, and quickly chased after Yang Yuan and Jia Weixin.

...

After walking a bit, Yang Yuan gradually calmed down: "Jiayan and Yiyi are women, I don't know if this Drought Fiend's Spirit Monster Core still has the power to reverse Yin and Yang, better not let them touch it, let's put it in another box first."

When they returned to the original site of the Safe Area, it was just eight in the evening.

At this time, the real Ancient Ruins Area, the range of architectural ruins, once again revealed a continuous cluster of buildings.

Meanwhile, those strange figures appeared one after another again.

However, it seemed to be an illusion, but everyone noticed that those strange figures seemed somewhat different.

"Did you guys notice? Those things are no longer staring at us specifically." Chen Xianzhi whispered.

Yang Yuan nodded and said, "Could it be related to that Demon before? That Demon previously mobilized the power of the Ancient Ruins, it should have consumed something, like... spirituality?"

Jia Weixin and Chen Xianzhi both lit up their eyes.

"Now that Mr. Yang Yuan says it, it does seem like those things have lost some spirituality. They were like living people before, but now they seem much more rigid."

Chen Xianzhi said happily, "So, Mr. Yang Yuan's previous actions were really killing two birds with one stone, not only eliminating the Drought Fiend but also resolving a major hidden danger. Although that Demon can't come out, it was ultimately a huge threat to us. Imagine if it suddenly appeared, like when it possessed and attacked Mr. Yang Yuan."

Previously, they were even planning on using the Evil Suppressing Stele, developed by Leader Chen, to suppress those evil spirits.

But now it seemed it wasn't necessary, as the Evil Suppressing Stele hadn't been developed yet, and Leader Chen had no time to work on other things these days.

Yang Yuan smiled and was about to speak when suddenly, Chen Xianzhi's communicator vibrated.

Chen Xianzhi hurriedly took out the communicator and exclaimed in surprise, "Leader Chen has been found. He was indeed swept into another Overlapping Space, our people used Mr. Yang Yuan's Door of Arbitrariness to open the Overlapping Space and found everyone..."

At this point, his complexion suddenly changed, and he stared intently at the communicator in his hand.

"What happened?" Jia Weixin felt his heart sink and hurriedly asked.

Yang Yuan also leaned over quickly to look at the communicator in Chen Xianzhi's hand.

This communicator was actually a tablet, with information related to the losses displayed on the screen.

At a glance, his expression also changed slightly.

Chen Xianzhi said in a deep voice, "The people swept into the other Overlapping Space were attacked by unknown creatures, resulting in heavy casualties, even Leader Chen was injured. Now, everyone, whether alive or dead, has been retrieved, but the number of survivors, including us, is only fifty-eight hundred..."

In other words, the casualties were severe.

They didn't die at the hands of the Drought Fiend, instead, they suffered a major setback inside the Ancient Ruins.

Jia Weixin's complexion darkened: "Quick, ask what attacked them."

This had to be clarified. They had just barely defeated the Drought Fiend, morale was high, but they couldn't afford to capsize at the final moment.

"Understood."

Chen Xianzhi quickly inquired.

Soon, the search personnel responded that it was some kind of skeletal creature, along with things resembling three-headed dogs; the weakest among them were human-level, the strongest unknown.

As a result, the people trapped in the Overlapping Space suffered such heavy losses, with many only bringing back fragmented corpses.

This news instantly dampened the previously elated mood of the three.

"This Ancient Ruins is perhaps more dangerous than we initially estimated!"

Chen Xianzhi murmured: "The fact that we're still alive now might be due to good luck, being in a surface space. This Ancient Ruins likely has what's called deep space, and the deeper you go, the more dangerous it probably is."

Both Yang Yuan and Jia Weixin agreed with this hypothesis.

Previously, this Ancient Ruins could resist an explosion capable of killing a Celestial-level creature, definitely not by luck.

There's a secret within these Ancient Ruins that they were unaware of.

Jia Weixin looked at Yang Yuan: "We'd better find a way to leave here first, Mr. Yang Yuan, can you continue to strengthen the Door of Arbitrariness?"

"I don't know yet, let's go take a look." Yang Yuan replied.

"That's good, lead the way." Jia Weixin looked at Chen Xianzhi.

"Follow me, the Door of Arbitrariness is right behind the radiation-proof Safe House." Chen Xianzhi quickly led the way ahead.

Soon, they arrived at the location of the Door of Arbitrariness.

Due to the previous battle, such important items like the Door of Arbitrariness were, of course, prioritized by Yao Jun to be packed up.

Only during the rescue were they brought out again.
