Acai's Sky

★Branch Mission 2: Repair the Golden River on the Road to Destruction of Wealth

Generals escort and eliminate the "Sky Devouring Sandworms"!

The strong residual smell of "Jin Ke La" deep in the riverbed and the strange energy of beeswax eventually attracted uninvited guests.

"Swish..."

A creepy sound, like the friction of countless fine sands, came from the depths of the cracks and the holes of solidified gold sand.

Then, a series of monsters emerged. They were grayish-white, translucent, leech-shaped, but with only a round mouth full of sharp teeth on their heads, and their bodies constantly flickering between reality and illusion - the sky-eating sandworms!

They were attracted by the energy and instinctively pounced on the working nanny robots, Mojia's honey-collecting platform, and even the ice bridge laid by Wang Ben!

"Evil beast! How dare you be so presumptuous!"

Qin general Wang Ben snorted coldly, maintained the ice bridge with one hand, and pointed out in the air with his other hand like a sword!

"【Xuanming True Water·Ice Soul Needle】!"

Chi Chi Chi!

Countless ice needles as thin as cow hair and emitting biting coldness shot out like a rainstorm!

Accurately penetrate the sandworms that rush towards the ice bridge and honey collection platform.

The body of the sandworm that was hit instantly froze and stiffened, then shattered into ice chips with a "snap" sound and dissipated in the distorted light.

Qin general Li Xin led a team of light cavalry (summoning cavalry) and charged back and forth in the relatively flat area of ​​the riverbed.

The long sword in his hand swung out a sharp sword energy: "Whoever blocks me will die!" Wherever the sword energy passed, the swarms of sandworms trying to gather were strangled to death.

His fighting style is like a raging wind and fire, in stark contrast to Wang Ben's control of ice.

Qin general Zhang Han (commander of the prisoner army) was like a rock, guarding the Mohist platform.

His weapon was a heavy bronze spear, and every swing of it brought with it a mountain-like pressure, smashing the sandworms that rushed towards him into meat paste (energy state?).

"Form a formation! Resist!" The sharp warriors behind him formed a tight circle, with long spears like a forest. Any sandworms that tried to approach the platform were strangled in front of the formation.

Bai Qi still stood there holding his sword, but occasionally when an elite sandworm of exceptionally large size or attacking from a tricky angle came, he would be met with an extremely fast blood-red sword light!

After the sword flashed, the sandworm and the surrounding space seemed to be cut into a brief vacuum and annihilated in an instant!

If the God of Killer doesn't take action, it's fine. But when he does, it's like thunder and lightning, shocking the whole audience.

……

Secret guards pick up the leftovers and clean up professionally!

When Tong Shishan and her group finished collecting data at a point and quickly retreated, the figure of the secret guard appeared like a ghost at the place they had just left.

"Group C is responsible for cleaning up the remaining sandworms! Group D is responsible for collecting the scattered beeswax fragments! Group E is responsible for checking the stability of the ice bridge!" Xiao Jia's voice was cold and efficient.

Like the most efficient scavengers, they use specially made energy-absorbing nets to collect the tiny beeswax fragments that may fly away and scatter in dangerous areas when the nanny robots are collecting;

Use poisoned flying needles or small crossbow arrows to accurately kill those sandworms hiding in corners and escaping the generals' clearing.

He even used special tools (produced by Yanshi) to quickly repair the tiny cracks on Wang Ben's ice bridge caused by sandworms or space ripples.

Ensure maximum safety and efficiency of subsequent collection roads.

……

The civil officials support and plan everything out!

In front of the sand table, the brains of the civil officials and think tank were working at high speed.

"Tong Shishan, attention! The energy tide in the core area of ​​the Eye of the Abyss is about to erupt. Countdown to five breaths! Abandon your current position immediately and evacuate to a safe zone!"

Tang Chen Fang Xuanling stared at the violently fluctuating energy curve on the sand table and spoke rapidly.

"Tong Jiaqi! A high-purity beeswax crystal cluster was found in the third rock crevice on the back of Xuanjintai! But it is protected by spatial folds on the outside, so it is necessary to use [Demon-Breaking Sound] to slightly vibrate the fold node (coordinates: Qian three, Kun seven) before cutting!" Tang Chen Du Ruhui accurately located it.

"General Wang Ben! The bearing point of the ice bridge below Eagle's Beak Rock is being impacted by a swarm of sandworms, and the stress is exceeding the standard! Please reinforce the southwest corner!" Ming minister Yang Rong (one of the Three Yangs of the Ming Dynasty) quickly calculated the force model of the ice bridge.

"Master! Three hundred steps to your left, three inches below the solidified gold sand layer, there's a faint high-energy reaction. It's suspected to be a small associated mineral pocket! Feel free to collect it!"

Ming Dynasty official Yang Pu (one of the Three Yangs of the Ming Dynasty) was also busy analyzing the energy fluctuations fed back by Ah Cai's [Gathering Technique].

Ming official Xie Jin held up a small notebook, recording the following: "…At 3:30 PM, Tong Jiawu found a piece of 'Seven-Colored Flowing Cloud Beeswax' beneath Eagle's Beak Rock. It weighed three pounds and seven ounces, and was of top quality. The pattern on it resembled a soaring phoenix, a true sign of good fortune!"

Ming Dynasty official Xia Yuanji (Ming Dynasty Minister of Revenue) was quickly calculating the total amount and value of the beeswax he had collected, his face beaming with joy:

"Worth it! Absolutely worth it! The investment (mainly referring to Xuantian and Wang Ben's expenses) is far less than the output! Your Majesty, this is a great deal with a 'profitable return'!"

……

Beeswax amulet, on-site processing!

As the collected beeswax was continuously sent back to the safe zone, Zhu Yin (poison doctor) and Su Xian (Mohist intelligence chief) were also busy.

"This beeswax contains a faint force of time and space and spirituality. With a little guidance, it can become an excellent amulet embryo!"

Mozhe Zhu Yin took out a set of small jade tools and several bottles of liquid medicine that shimmered with a strange light. "Soak it in 'Concentrating Spirit Herb Dew' and then mix it with 'Space Stabilizing Powder' (Zhu Yin's special product) to stimulate its protective power!"

Mozhe Suxian was in charge of the design and carving. "We need to engrave simple runes of 'calming the mind' and 'avoiding disaster', and guide their energy to form a weak force field to offset the negative effects of the spatial rift."

Her fingers flew like a butterfly through flowers, and one after another, [Flowing Beeswax Amulets] as smooth as jade, with colorful clouds slowly flowing inside, quickly took shape in her hands, emitting a soothing soft light.

……

Mission Settlement (Jinsha River):

00541 stared in astonishment at the outrageous actions of these people before him. [Ding! Branch quest 'Repairing Broken Wealth Path - Collecting Flowing Beeswax' completed! Rating: SS! 'Many hands make light work!']

……

Battlefield Theater:

Xuantian, the Mysterious Turtle, slowly withdrew his strength and yawned leisurely: "Alas, I, the 'strong man carrying the stone tablet—I've exerted so much strength'. I'll have to ask the Tong family to stew ten pots of 'Thousand-year-old Spiritual Fungus and Turtle Soup' when I get home to replenish myself..." (Everyone: ...)

Qin General Wang Ben dispersed the ice bridge and looked at the riverbed, now dead silent but devoid of the gathering troops. He nodded with satisfaction, "Paving the road with the ice bridge is a strategy of 'going with the flow', and it's quite effective."

* Qin General Meng Tian patted Zhang Han on the shoulder: "General Zhang, you defended the city effectively and are as steady as a rock!" Zhang Han clasped his fists and said: "It's my job!"

Qin General Bai Qi looked at the dissipating swarm of air-devouring sandworms with a hint of regret: "Too weak."

Emperor Ming Emperor Zhu Di held up a freshly baked [Flowing Beeswax Amulet], admiring the flowing glow within. He said to Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Zhanji, "Look! This is a truly 'good luck'! Chi'er, Zhanji, learn from this. Governing a country sometimes requires this kind of 'threading a needle' skill!"

*Ming Dynasty official Xie Jin was holding the piece of beeswax with the pattern of "Seven-Colored Flowing Clouds and Flying Phoenix", reciting a poem while shaking his head:

“…Where the golden sands cease to flow, the rosy clouds condense into a jewel. Heaven’s workmanship unleashes its image, and auspicious signs enter my robe…”

Xia Yuanji pulled Yang Shiqi and excitedly calculated the growth of this mission.

* Tong Shishan, Tong Jiawu, and Tong Shiqi gathered together, and the electronic screen flashed a self-evaluation report: "Task completion: 100%! Damage rate: 0%! Elegance: S+!"

* The secret guards disappeared into the shadows again, leaving only a few bulging storage bags to show the results of their "professional cleanup".

Ah Cai happily stuffed a pile of "mosquito-leg" materials into the system warehouse and handed everyone a warm beeswax amulet: "Come on, come on, everyone who sees it gets a share! Wear this, and you'll feel more confident! In the next level, we'll face the Pixiu Guardian. Let's see how we can use our wealth to knock it unconscious! Let's go!"

The broken Jinsha Riverbed is still dead silent.

However, the edges of the holes left after collection seemed to have a subtle sign of "healing" due to the heavy power left by Xuantian and the weak spirituality of the beeswax itself.

The Money Picking Group, wearing glittering amulets and full of morale, continues to advance towards the core of the "Money Eye Basin"! Wealth and adventure are always on the way!
