After Feng Jun and Yi Jue restored their Spiritual Energy, he took her to the Mining Star.

The battle on the Mining Star was truly intense, and the weapons of the Human Race were much more formidable than those on Xingzheng Star’s reserves.

Especially since the climate here was extremely harsh, leaving the artificially constructed bases made it very difficult for individuals to survive alone in the natural environment for long. Therefore, there were small bunkers everywhere, and transport channels between them. The entire planet was one massive war network.

And the nodes on this network, big or small, were military fortresses of various sizes, the most basic being individual fortresses.

The weapons of an individual fortress were already very powerful, with Pulse Cannons and Gauss Machine Guns as standard. Feng Jun had more than once seen in abandoned individual fortresses, blown-up Space Mech Armors and Single Jet Soldier War Vehicles.

Because there were constant storms year after year and toxic gases everywhere, ordinary mecha couldn’t effectively handle individual combat missions on this planet—they could easily get lost; hence there were more Space Mech Armors instead.

Initially, Feng Jun collected two disintegrated Space Mech Armors and a Single Jet Soldier War Vehicle, but Yi Jue couldn’t help but remind him, "There are better ones, this area is already a fallen zone."

This kind of thing, the more the better, but Feng Jun didn’t want her to underestimate him, so he merely smiled, "Given this weather, I reckon there aren’t many bugs that would come rushing down, this place should still be relatively safe."

"That’s hard to say," Yi Jue shook her head. Currently, the two were communicating through Divine Sense rather than speech. "Some of the Insect Race have very strong endurance, and they huddle together to keep warm."

Shortly after her words, a massive sphere appeared ahead, over a kilometer in diameter, covered in dense beetles, motionless, looking as if they were dead.

"That’s the one," Yi Jue pointed in that direction. The visibility was really poor, so they resorted to using weak Divine Sense to explore, "This is an Insect Race barracks; the beetles outside are frost-resistant, while the inside houses more fragile insects."

Feng Jun took out his mobile phone to swipe it, wanting to know how many insects were inside. But as soon as he took it out, it shattered into powder, "Wow, it’s this cold? Hold on a moment."

Feng Jun retreated to the Earth Plane, directly retrieved a mobile phone with his body, and returned to the Mining Star, then perceived the Insect Race ahead, "Huh, there are over sixty Golden Core ones in this camp?"

"Huh, over sixty Golden Core ones?" Yi Jue’s eyes lit up, "This haul could be worth it."

After speaking, she took out a creamy white Luo Pa and directly deployed it, "Go!"

The Luo Pa rose gently and quickly transformed into a massive cloth over a hundred miles wide, descending onto the barracks.

Because of the environment, the Insect Race did not immediately notice the cloth; it was only when it was less than ten miles from them that the sentries of the Insect Race discovered it, and various audio-visual alarms instantly blared.

Among these alarms, some sounds were inaudible to human ears, and some lights were invisible to human eyes.

However, at this moment, Yi Jue had already sped up her operation, and the cloth instantly dropped, wrapping the entire sphere.

Yi Jue, urging the Luo Pa with all her might, had her face turn slightly pale. "Wow, it’s really quite strenuous."

Feng Jun did not belittle her; instead, he extended a thumbs-up, "Amazing!"

It’s true that Yi Jue was at Nascent Soul Peak, but the Insect Race barracks she had toppled contained over sixty Golden Core level insects and tens of thousands in the Out of Dust stage. If you convert the Insect Race to the Human Race, could she detain so many at once?

"It’s nothing," Yi Jue answered indifferently, "Unfortunately, such a big move can’t be used often. After using it two or three times, I have to go back to replenish Spiritual Energy, and moreover...the effectiveness of such a strike is very limited."

As it turns out, the Spiritual Energy consumed by her single strike actually wasn’t much, but if the barrack didn’t have any Golden Core ones, it wasn’t worth the effort. To avoid wasting Spiritual Energy, she wouldn’t bother with Out of Dust insects unless they stood right in front of her to be smacked dead casually.

The Insect Race is notorious for their numbers. Even if several barracks are destroyed, the loss of the Insect Race is far from her loss of Spirit Stones. Only because Feng Jun could confirm that there were more Golden Core ones inside, she acted so boldly.

This is the hallmark of high-end combat strength: using a cannon to kill a mosquito is indeed too wasteful.

But there’s no helping it. Exploring the Insect World is an extremely dangerous mission. Among the cultivators Feng Jun transported here, even those at Nascent Soul Initial Stage were mostly excluded. Being able to deal with Golden Core Insect Tribes was already considered as "disregarding their dignity."

Moreover, capturing these insects wasn’t the main concern; the major use of Spiritual Energy was to store these insects in the Storage Bag!

The Storage Bag couldn’t accommodate living beings, which meant consuming Spiritual Energy to kill these insects.

Even for Yi Jue at Nascent Soul Peak, putting these insects into the Storage Bag required a lot of Spiritual Energy.

If she took down three such camps in a row, half of her Spiritual Energy would be consumed. In the depths of the Insect World, reducing Spiritual Energy to such a level would be considered dangerous, and she would have to return to replenish it.

Don’t just assume Feng Jun is cautious—when it comes to prudence, even True Immortal big bosses know how to cherish their life. It’s not about fearing death; it’s about avoiding unnecessary risks for trivial matters.

Yi Jue captured this colossal sphere, about a kilometer in diameter, raised her hand, ready to deploy "Si Ganlin," but suddenly remembered something. She glanced sideways at Feng Jun, "Could you ask your sect elders to help deal with this?"

"Help... deal with it?" Feng Jun looked at her in a state of confusion, "What do you mean? I don’t quite understand."

"Just help to get rid of them," Yi Jue straightforwardly stated. "I originally intended to use Si Ganlin. In this extreme cold, Si Ganlin could freeze most of the Insect Race, but it would take time and heavily deplete my spiritual energy."

Feng Jun raised his hand and helplessly rubbed his forehead, "But... I’ll need to expend spiritual energy too."

"I know... so we’ll split the rewards," Yi Jue nodded earnestly, "The spiritual energy I’ll need to use is more than your entire body’s worth. Without extra effort on your part, taking care of it is more economical than if I were to act."

Feng Jun didn’t mind dealing with it, considering he’s already pit-fallen so many from the Nascent Soul stage; dealing with an Insect Race is no big deal.

Sharing the spoils doesn’t really matter to him. With his relationship with Yi Jue, there’s no need to count it so precisely. His willingness to act is largely driven by his desire to save the human race of this world.

Of course, her suggestion made him quite pleased—at least it’s treating him like a comrade in arms, rather than just a standby vehicle.

However, he suddenly realized a potential problem. "Taking down so many at once, I hope the Insect Race’s Divine Master doesn’t target me... Last time, you forgot to take me with you, and I got a streak of karma, which is really annoying."

"That won’t be a problem," Yi Jue responded without hesitation, understanding the issue well. "Although the Insect Race uses Incense Fire Ascension, this is the Human Race’s territory and also has human merit."

"On the battlefield, karma isn’t as abundant as you might think, especially in these life-or-death group wars. I’ve previously collected from two camps, and the karma wasn’t much. If there’s a real accumulation, we can ask Ren Tu True Sage to clear it for us."

Understanding this, Feng Jun nodded, "Alright, leave it to me."

Checking the time, the Sahara Desert in the Earth Realm should be nighttime, so he reached out to take a thread from Luo Pa, silently reciting "Exit."

In the next moment, he appeared in the Sahara Desert, feeling the ground tremble hard. Such a massive sphere dropping into the Earth couldn’t possibly go unnoticed.

Unfortunately, there was a caravan less than three kilometers away, traveling through the Sahara: twelve or thirteen RVs and off-road vehicles had formed a circle, with campfires lit. As they grilled food, the group sang and danced around the fires.

The Sahara is the world’s largest desert, yet it’s not short of oases. People undertaking desert journeys are numerous—a testament to how the world always has bored individuals.

Traveling through the desert isn’t just about facing sandstorms or getting lost. The critical danger is that numerous countries are covered by the desert, home to raiding bandits. Especially among some nomadic tribes, they herd during the day and rob at night.

Thus, those crossing the desert usually carry weapons for self-defense, even heavy weapons are common.

This group also had weapons and special sentries. Feeling the ground tremble suddenly and seeing a large dark shadow appear, not just the sentries but even the revelers were collectively stunned.

Some couldn’t help but scream, "Oh my god, what is that thing?"

A sphere with a diameter of a kilometer appears as a small mountain here.

Yet in the next second, the dark shadow disappeared instantly, leaving the caravan members to look around at each other.

"There was a dark shadow just now, right? I trust my eyes weren’t faulty."

"I’d rather believe it was a hallucination, but... the ground truly shook a few times, didn’t it?"

"Oh god, where’s the best wizard in the vicinity? I feel like we might be in trouble."

These worried individuals waited until dawn. When daylight fully broke and after breakfast, they cautiously drove over to investigate, only to find a massive crater filled with various unidentifiable debris.

Fortunately, they were too scared to arrive swiftly. If they had come immediately, they could have felt some chill and relatively violent energy.

But overnight, much of the presence had dissipated. Ten days later, when scientists from other regions came to examine, nothing remained.

The mysterious fragments had been scavenged by locals, and collecting them posed no small challenge.
