Though it was nighttime.

These Night Demons were Xu Lingjun's most loyal subordinates and naturally wouldn't harm him. Instead, they stood guard beside him, ensuring the peace of both of them.

Xu Lingjun deliberately collected all the corpses of the attackers.

To leave these bodies for the Night Demons to feast on could indeed provide him with several more powerful individual units. Especially the Master of Silicon, who was entwined with nuclear energy; his power was explosive, and even if weakened in death, his radiation-filled bones would be a nightmare for any enemy.

But these corpses were considered the elite among the mysterious races of the heavens.

If humans could comprehend their physique, bodies, and structure, it would undoubtedly aid in future combat.

Fortunately, there was Yi Shiqi as a helper... Though now he was maimed, with only one arm remaining, it was quite a struggle for him to tidy up the bodies.

But that arm was cut off to deal with Xu Lingjun, and Xu Lingjun felt no pity for him whatsoever.

Thus.

Yi Shiqi's nightmare began.

The Night Demons, who were devouring the corpses, were directly driven aside by Xu Lingjun with Frost's Sorrow...

They dared not oppose their master yet didn't want to give up their meal.

They could only stare at Yi Shiqi with their greedy eyes, wondering if he wasn't also food to them.

Poor Yi Shiqi, with a noble status, ranking almost in the top twenty of the Iron Wing Race...

Now here doing dirty and tiring work, he also had to endure the greedy looks from those Night Demons wanting to devour him.

He couldn't help but tremble with fear, having long since cursed the Silicon Element thousands of times in his mind.

Damn it...

You all say Xu Lingjun is the greatest reliance for Blue Star's resistance.

I agree with this now, but the problem is, since you knew he was the greatest reliance, why didn't you gather more experts... There are so many mysterious races of the heavens outside eyeing Blue Star, yet you forcefully kept them out.

If you could have invited them in and formed a more powerful army...

He angrily dragged the Silicon-based Lord's corpse, inwardly cursing all the while.

But upon calming down to reflect, he sorrowfully realized... Even if they brought more helpers, it would be futile.

They chose Xu Lingjun's base camp as the trap's location.

Voluntarily giving the enemy the advantage of terrain.

Throwing themselves into an ocean of enemies, is there still any hope?

The thought made him feel utterly dejected...

This was simply seeking death on his own.

Ending up in this state, it's entirely his own doing, unable to find any excuse.

Yi Shiqi even suddenly considered why the Silicon Element, as the current Master of Silicon, didn't come?

Could it be that he already knew how powerful Xu Lingjun was, so he deliberately didn't come, sending so many of them over to use Xu Lingjun to kill off these civilization leaders?

This way, he could weaken their civilizations' strength to the greatest extent!

Such an insidious power...

Unquestionably, Yi Shiqi had truly gone astray.

And this tidying up lasted the entire night.

Especially as the Night Demons protected their food, dragging the living underground as they ate, resulting in many being buried so deep that Yi Shiqi had to use his remaining arm to forcefully drag the bodies out.

This naturally exhausted a lot of extra energy.

By the time dozens of corpses were tidied up.

It was already broad daylight... And those Night Demons had quietly hidden away.

But even though the Night Demons couldn't be summoned during the day, Yi Shiqi dared not act on any unsavory thoughts.

Joking aside.

The man before him could rival all of them simultaneously... 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

"We should leave now."

Xu Lingjun stood up, then paused.

A hint of surprise on his face as he looked into the distance.

"That... Xu... Commander in Chief Xu?"

Yi Shiqi had very straightforwardly begun addressing him as Commander in Chief since, being of high status within the Wing Race, calling someone "master" would be impossible for him.

"No need, let's wait a bit longer."

Xu Lingjun glanced at his clean clothes, felt a stirring in his heart, and reached out to rub the Silicon-based Lord's body... At this point, the Silicon-based Lord was half-eaten, and touching him left Xu Lingjun smeared in blood all over.

Yi Shiqi stared in a daze for a moment.

Afterwards, Xu Lingjun took a deep breath...

His face gradually turned pale.

Even his breathing became weak.

Soon...

From a distance, the ground rumbled with noise.

Numerous Zagu armors, armored vehicles mounted with anti-warship cannons, and Wild Tiger tanks bristling with weapons.

Clearly, a grand army was rumbling towards them...

Halfway there, they seemed to discover Xu Lingjun and others.

The army changed direction, rushing their way.

Still a few hundred meters away...

Tairuo and Sai Jia leaped down from an armored vehicle, gathering countless elite warriors with them.

They gazed at Xu Lingjun with delight in their eyes, shouting, "Commander in Chief Xu…"

"Don't come over!"

Xu Lingjun shouted loudly, "Earlier, after a deadly battle with the Silicon-based Lord and being besieged by Night Demons all night… I have already been infected with nuclear energy. Stay away from me, you'll be infected too."
