"Your Majesty, what about the humans?"

"You don't need to worry about the humans, just leave."

Damn it, those pesky humans had to show up now; thinking of the binary star problem, Vivian couldn't help but bite her lip—wait, this situation is too strange, could the humans have discovered the secret of the Strange (Elemental) Stone? It's the only substance that can suppress the bizarre; we must capture them immediately.

With this in mind, Vivian issued the search order for the second time. Not long after, hundreds of elf warriors searched the area in groups...

——

Meanwhile, on the Rasasas satellite, a prolonged confrontation with the bizarre was raging at all times. Over the past few days, the elves had been trying various methods to seal the bizarre, whether it be through telepathic magic or ancient bloodline rituals. However, in the face of this demon, which defied physical explanation, all they could do was limit it. As time passed, the telepathic seal continued to weaken, and the bizarre's power surged in intensity.

On this apocalyptic wasteland, tens of thousands of elves formed a telepathic phalanx, with the bizarre sealed in the center. The immense energy pressed the space around the bizarre, making it look extremely distorted, yet it still struggled to break free.

"Sisters, keep up the pressure and seal it!"

"Yes!"

Dozens more elves alternated to apply telepathic seals on it.

It was at this moment that a mutation occurred. The earth, swept by wind and sand, first rippled slightly, and in an instant, a colossal sand worm burst out from beneath the dunes. Its terrifying body could not be described with any known creature.

The sand worm twisted its body and rolled over with death, opening its gaping maw to instantly devour dozens of elves.

Quick-reacting elves tried to escape, but under the powerful suction of the sand worm's giant mouth and the gravitational pull on the ground, their frail bodies could not escape the suction. In an instant, dozens more elf warriors perished, their eyes filled with alarm, bewilderment, and unwillingness...

The telepathic seal weakened!

"Ha!"

With a roar, the bizarre finally broke free from the suppression, striking with a wave of light, instantly causing hundreds more elves to perish in the energy blast.

"Foolish Fairy Clan, you cannot defeat me; even those cowardly humans are smarter than you, at least they know to stay away."

At this point, the bizarre was no longer as it once was, speaking with a much more skilled demeanor. In its months-long battle with the Titan Elves, it gradually learned three types of civilized languages and actions, and its body slowly began to take on a feminine form during the learning process.

"But..." As it spoke, the bizarre looked down at its slender hand, "the resources on this planet are nearly depleted, and the current extraction speed is still too slow."

With this thought, it cast its gaze toward the sky, toward Rasasas... over there should be the Fairy royalty's stronghold, but unfortunately, it would take several days to reach.

With a turn, the bizarre's body suddenly split into two, then four, and whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh... four clones shot towards Rasavis...

Still troubled by the human landing, Vivian soon received the news that hundreds more elf mages had perished on the satellite, and the casualties continued to mount...

Vivian stared blankly; elf mages were far more valuable than elf warriors. They not only possessed the normal intelligence of queens, but their evolutionary process was also fraught with difficulty, requiring the birth of an average of dozens of elf warriors for just one mage... Perhaps, the Titan Elves should never have provoked such an existence.

Her hatred for the bizarre now far surpassed that for those few humans on the ground. Of course, the primary concern was still to find the humans, chiefly to extract the Strange Stone.

At this moment, Vivian's Magic Mirror suddenly lit up, revealing the stunning face of the Ancient Queen, "Elysis..."

"Lady Vivian, I've just learned about the casualties on the satellite; how about I handle the intruders on Rasasas while you take care of the problem over there?"

"Alright." Vivian quietly sighed with relief, as this arrangement was far better than being overwhelmed on both fronts.

On the other side of the star field, after seven hours of searching, Zhang Xiaobo's detector finally reacted under the beautiful night sky. The sudden vibration lifted his spirits, and even his heartbeat quickened in excitement.

"It's, it's the Elemental Stone reaction! Haha..."

The true expert never fights in a group, and a king never admits defeat. It seemed the decision to venture out alone was correct. Elemental Stones were, after all, a major trump card for humanity, and he was so excited that tears nearly fell from his eyes.

As an experienced subterranean miner, he was adept at solo mining operations. Using the techniques taught by the Blade Warrior, he first aimed the Subspace Crystal's seal at the ground, disengaged the safety valve, and activated the trillion-ton lifter.

In an instant, the washbasin-sized metal machine extended outward at a visibly rapid pace, and during the crawling process, it quickly changed shape like an octopus, replicating from washbasin-sized to a thirty-meter-wide pyramidal spider-shaped lifter in less than a minute.

When Zhang Xiaobo pressed the green button, the extraction device suddenly ejected from the lifter, and amidst a buzzing sound, the fat man felt a wave of heat rolling in, beep, beep, beep, beep...

As the program was pre-set, the drill began operating the moment the machine sensed an elemental reaction. Watching the dizzyingly rapid descent numbers on the screen and feeling the immense tremor underfoot, the fat man believed the drill would reach twenty thousand meters underground in just a few minutes, a speed much faster than the one hundred meters dash.

His concerns were precisely the noise and tremors during the extraction, which could potentially attract the Titan Elves. He prayed continuously for the extraction to end quickly, especially crucial at night, as the daylight conditions made it difficult to detect extraction light, but nighttime was different; any light might draw elf attention and reveal his location.

Beep, beep, beep, beep...

With the urgent sound report, the fat man knew the task was successful. During this anxious waiting, the bioelectric wave alert once again caught his attention. A bioelectric wave reaction signaled that someone was flying towards him, which could either be allies or Titan Elves.

"Damn! Hurry up!"

His thoughts scattered, the fat man grew more panicked with the wait, knowing that this was a sand dune plain. If confronted by the Titan Elves, he was not confident he could escape under their watchful eyes—as a special forces king, he naturally considered the techniques of dune stealth and concealment, but the elves were an advanced civilization beyond humans, and such actions would only be courting death.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

The towing cables spun faster and faster, and with a wave of heat sweeping over, the collection work was completed. Without even glancing, the fat man tossed the Elemental Stone into the Space Crystal. The trillion-ton lifting apparatus, under the influence of the artificial system, quickly shrank in the process, then swiftly retreated into the Space Crystal.
