Summoned from another world, the hero is Ultraman Zeta.

"We've found out, Minister. Luo Yi has been appearing in the Nanshan area recently, mostly around the mining area, controlling the shadowy figures to mine ore. Based on his behavior, he seems to be planning to build up resource reserves."

“We won’t let him do whatever he wants. We’ll set up magic arrays on all the surrounding mines and use special auras to gather all the wild beasts that can be attracted to that area. As long as Luo Yi still dares to show up with that shadowy figure, the auras will mark his location. After that, we just have to wait for the monsters to inform us.”

"Yes, Minister. Should we send more armed personnel to capture Luo Yi?"

"No, that guy is beyond the capabilities of humans. Let's leave him to those who can handle him. You just keep an eye on him and don't miss any opportunity to catch him next time."

Camping outdoors, this report was not given inside the guild. Minister Ye personally oversaw the research and development of the Earth Escape Array, moving his office to the vicinity of the research area.

The noise of the environment did not affect Minister Ye's focus. Even though dust was still flying in the distance, he calmly issued instructions and ordered the information to be shared with the heroes and earth tamers.

"Again, Sean! I can still handle it, a little more effort won't hurt!"

"You'd better defeat me first!"

The physical clashes of the battle stirred Qingxuan's blood. He never imagined that throwing himself into the fight would be so exhilarating. Upon reflection, he realized how foolish he had been.

Once again, Sean blocked Qingxuan's attack and threw Qingxuan to the ground. As a sparring partner, Sean had sparred with Qingxuan many times, but this was the first time he had seen Qingxuan so full of enthusiasm.

"What are they doing? They couldn't even talk properly yesterday, how come they're so friendly today?"

“I don’t know either. This morning, Qingxuan ran out of the medical center to spar with Sean. He insisted on running and jumping in the courtyard despite his just-recovered body. No matter how much we tried to persuade him, he wouldn’t listen. Qingxuan himself said that he was doing rehabilitation training.”

After receiving the guild's notice, Ajiu came to meet Yaohui. However, when she arrived at the scene, she saw Qingxuan in a strange state, and for a moment she could hardly believe that this was the same person who said yesterday that he wanted to give up being an Earth Master.

Yao Hui wasn't quite sure what was wrong with Qing Xuan either, but he had read the medical report. Qing Xuan's body was perfectly normal, and there were no magical anomalies. If he had to find a reason, Yao Hui believed that Qing Xuan had let go of his worries on his own.

After all, men can often release their emotions through a fight. Although Yaohui doesn't know the principle behind it, it works very well.

"Will Qingxuan still be involved in the guild's upcoming operation to capture Luo Yi? Is he still harboring resentment?"

"Tell me about the guild's plans first, Ajiu. Everything is negotiable now."

"The guild's plan is to mark Luo Yi so that when he uses Shadow, a signal will be sent to attract our attention, and at the same time, the guild can track his whereabouts. What we need to do is, under these conditions, seize him the next time he appears."

Yao Hui took a look at the report handed over by A Jiu. After a preliminary analysis, he felt that the guild's method was feasible and that this was the best opportunity to capture Luo Yi.

"So, how is the research on countering Earth Release progressing? Is it possible to limit the Earth Shadow's Earth Release techniques?"

"The basic principle of Earth Escape is to transform the body of an earth-type monster into an earth element and travel underground. When Earth Escape is active, earth-type monsters cannot attack or defend. However, the problem lies in how to find the earth-escape monsters."

The guild is trying to cast a spell on the ground to disrupt the underground earth element and force the earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of monster that can be easily escaped) monster to reveal itself. However, this requires a lot of energy and a large spell array, so progress cannot be accelerated in the short term. We'll have to find a way to subdue it ourselves for now.

A-Kyu's explanation made Haruki understand the workings and characteristics of Earth Release, but the situation did not improve, and how to attack the underground earth element remained a problem.

"Actually, we don't need to keep dwelling on the Earth Release. If I separate Luo Yi from the Tsuchikage's body before he activates Earth Release, wouldn't we have achieved our goal?"

"That seems to make sense, but the problem is, we can't even block the earth element, so how are we supposed to separate Luo Yi? Do you know how to cut space... wait, cut space?"

The wind blows and the clouds drift, the vast and tranquil sky above the blue sky and white clouds is filled with peace and quiet, the sun shines on the verdant mountains, but the rocky peaks and ridges below are covered with dregs.

The colossal Niru charged with its antlers raised, the triangular boar bared its horns arrogantly, fiery feathers drifted in the sky, and mountain rats scrambled for food on the ground. The monsters, who usually kept to themselves, were all drawn here today by a strange magical energy. The reason was unclear, but the monsters simply loved this aura. Unfortunately, however, monsters don't like to share, so when fellow monsters appeared, conflict was inevitable.

A loud blast sent the Niru deer and the triangular boar flying backward. A dark shadow appeared out of thin air, and from it emerged a strange human. The monster, which had been fighting fiercely, was interrupted by the little human and immediately wanted to retaliate. However, before the monster could take a few steps forward, the dark shadow emitted red light from its eyes, intimidating the beasts and driving away all the creatures around it.

"I never expected it to eat so much. This is already its fourth meal today, and it still doesn't seem to be full."

Luo said with a helpless expression, but when he thought about how it would cause a big commotion after it was full, surprising the guilds and the people in the town, Luo felt very excited.

"Eat up, eat up. I really want to figure out why it likes to eat the minerals in these mountains. It doesn't care about the minerals in the mines, but it's happy eating mud with its mouth full. However, this happiness can't last long, because some people just like to get there before the real show starts."

Luo Yi turned to look at the distant mountains and forests. The dark figure beside him was also looking in that direction with a menacing aura, revealing claw blades that exuded ferocity.

Several shockwave projectiles were fired into the sky as a show of force, and in an instant, a large number of mages arrived at the scene, dressed in guild armor and wielding staffs and talismans, surrounding the area.

"Listen up, you're surrounded! Lay down your weapons and surrender immediately, or we will use force to arrest you!"

"What the hell? You're clearly using magic, okay?"

After jokingly teasing him, Luo Yi spread his arms to show that his hands were empty, looking at the surrounding magicians with great curiosity, without any fear.

"See? I don't have any weapons, but that doesn't mean he doesn't."

The shadowy giant claws swung violently, and the mages, seeing that the enemy was trying to resist, immediately launched an attack, unleashing all their powerful offensive methods such as electricity and fire.

However, the mages knew that their methods were not enough to defeat the monster. What they needed to do was to provoke the monster and make it focus on attacking instead of running away. As long as they could buy some time, the hero would have a chance to capture Luo Yi.

The Earth Shadow used its claws to shield itself, blocking all attacks from the humans. Then, it unleashed a powerful burst of energy, causing the wary mages to quickly raise their barriers to defend themselves. The Earth Shadow closed in, its form expanding further, its claws stained crimson, immediately seeking revenge against the mages who had fallen to its enemies.

An arrow descended from the sky, shattering the black mist. The Tsuchikage's attack was interrupted, and he hurriedly looked up. Zeta, holding a gun and bow, rushed to support him, flying down and heading straight for the Tsuchikage.
