The genius who counterattacked the mainland

The continuous attacks from the crowd made it difficult for the fairies to resist, unable to adjust the music to restore the runes to normal flashing. As the runes flashed more and more chaotically, the invisible thread in the music that was draining everyone's strength gradually lost its effect. Everyone felt their bodies gradually regain strength and the heaviness slowly dissipated.

The group pressed on, attacking the runes on the fairies' instruments in the reverse rhythm of the music. Lin, controlling the Wind Phoenix, launched another fierce attack with wind blades. More blades struck their targets accurately, causing the corresponding runes to flicker more erratically. Agang fired a series of golden arrows, constantly impacting the zither runes, causing them to flicker and dim, threatening to become completely ineffective.

The Ice Princess summoned icy peaks that slammed into the erhu rune one after another. The chilling aura distorted the energy surrounding the rune, causing the energy fluctuations emitted by the rune to grow weaker. The mysterious figure's black and white energy column also continuously released powerful energy pulses. Each impact caused the instrument rune to stagger, its light dimming to the point of nearly extinguishing.

The light beasts transformed by the white-clothed man's flute sound attacked their corresponding instrument runes even more frantically. The Qilin's flames burned more and more vigorously, the light dragon's claws became more and more powerful, and the light tiger's shuttle became more and more flexible. Under their joint attack, the runes' defenses were constantly broken through and the damage became more and more serious.

The fairies grew increasingly flustered, and the music became disorganized, completely ruining the originally beautiful melody. The dangerous aura surrounding them dissipated, and everyone seized this opportunity to rush towards the pavilion.

Everyone arrived at the pavilion, their hearts filled with excitement as they gazed upon the divine crystal core, radiating a brilliant light that seemed to contain the entire universe. Xu Tiancai carefully reached out and lifted the divine crystal core. The moment he did so, a gentle light enveloped the group, as if acknowledging their successful search for the core despite all the hardships and obstacles.

After the light faded, everyone found that the surrounding environment began to slowly change. The dreamlike garden and the dancing fairies gradually disappeared, and the clouds and mist began to dissipate, revealing the mountain scene that had been obscured.

Carrying the Divine Crystal Core, the group descended the mountain along the same path they had come, reflecting on this thrilling and challenging journey with a flood of emotion. Their reward was not only the invaluable Divine Crystal Core, but also the precious experience of working together in unity and overcoming difficulties and obstacles. All of this would become a valuable asset for them as they faced more unknown challenges in the future.

After everyone picked up the God's Crystal Core, a huge crack suddenly appeared in the sky, and a powerful suction force surged out from it. Before everyone could react, they were sucked in.

They found themselves in a mysterious space, surrounded by flowing bands of light, colorful yet eerie. The air here seemed alive, constantly moving around them, bringing waves of chill.

"What is this place? Why were we brought here?" Lin asked nervously.

Xu Tiancai looked around, frowning. "It seems this Divine Crystal Core still has secrets we don't know about. It seems to have triggered some kind of ancient teleportation mechanism."

At this moment, a number of blurry figures appeared in the space. They gradually became clearer, becoming a group of mechanical puppets with a metallic sheen all over their bodies. These puppets had humanoid outlines, but their limbs looked like a patchwork of various weapons: some were giant sickles, some were sharp swords, and some were chains with spikes.

Without a word, the mechanical puppets rushed towards the crowd. They moved without hesitation, at an extremely fast speed, and arrived in front of everyone in the blink of an eye.

Xu Tiancai raised his trident and charged at a mechanical puppet wielding a sickle. The trident and sickle collided, sending up a shower of sparks. Xu Tiancai discovered that these mechanical puppets were incredibly powerful, and each impact left his arm numbing.

Agang wielded his battle axe, engaging in a fierce battle with a blade puppet. His battle axe struck the blade puppet, leaving only a shallow mark on the metal shell. The blade puppet seized the opportunity to counterattack, stabbing Agang with its sharp blade. Agang quickly dodged to the side, but was still cut.

Lin cast wind magic, creating a series of wind vortexes in an attempt to trap the mechanical puppets. However, these mechanical puppets seemed unaffected by the wind element and broke through the wind vortexes directly, continuing to attack everyone.

The Ice Princess waved her wand, summoning a giant ice shield. The shield stood before everyone, temporarily repelling the mechanical puppets' attacks. However, the puppets continued to attack the shield with their weapons, and cracks began to appear on it.

The mysterious figure formed seals with his hands, and the power of darkness and light merged into energy rays in his hands, shooting towards the mechanical puppets. After the energy rays hit the mechanical puppets, their movements were slightly slowed down, but they soon returned to normal.

The man in white played a flute, and the sound transformed into a swarm of light ants. They crawled towards the mechanical puppet, reaching its joints and attempting to destroy the connecting parts. However, the mechanical puppet's joints seemed to have special protection, making it difficult for the light ants to cause any substantial damage.

During the fierce battle, Xu Tiancai discovered that the core part of the mechanical puppets was in their chests, where there was a flickering energy source, which seemed to be the key to their actions.

"Attack their chests! That's the core!" Xu Tiancai shouted.

Everyone listened to Xu...
