Rek began to swing the Bone Sword, moving forward and slashing at the nearby Green Humanoid Aberration.
"Six Seed Pods. I'll handle the two inside, and you and the Fighting Saint Monkey take care of the other four," Rek said, pointing to the two massive Seed Pods at the back.
As they moved deeper into the cave, the ground became increasingly uneven, with many sunken pits and rocks appearing.
"Alright, you throw the bombs accurately into the Seed Pods. When the time comes, follow my lead to detonate them," Alice instructed.
Rek charged toward the two large Seed Pods at the back, while numerous small Green Mutants tried to interfere with him along the way.
However, in this enclosed area, where Alice had previously thrown a firebomb, although the flames had weakened, the temperature remained high for a short time, slowing down the movements of the Green Mutants.
Rek swung his Bone Blade, slashing and devouring the green Alien Species. At that moment, he suddenly heard the long-awaited voice of the War God System in his mind.
"Ding dong, scanning for nearby Host, a massive concentration of high-level energy has appeared. This energy can be absorbed by the War God System. Everything in the universe belongs to the War God—"
"Alright, War God System, I know you want to absorb that energy.
But you see this situation; beyond the Dark Red Crystalline Barrier is where you want to absorb energy. There should be quite a bit of it.
But if I get trapped inside that Dark Red Crystalline Barrier, can you break it and let me out?
Also, if I go over to absorb that energy, will I get poisoned or something? It's rumored that this Energy Flower Sea Pool Water has condensed countless years of toxic radiation from the Dark Space.
And without any interference, how quickly can you absorb all the energy from this Death Flower Sea Pool Water?" Rek tried to ask the War God System in his mind.
"After detecting the energy of the Energy Flower Sea Pool Water, it is identified as a highly polluted mixed energy. Preliminary calculations indicate that the War God System will need to absorb and purify the energy simultaneously during the extraction process.
It is expected that twelve Cosmic Times will be required to absorb all the energy. As for the Dark Red Crystalline Barrier, it serves as a defensive barrier made of special mixed energy gas.
Although the War God System can break through it, this is something that the Host must experience themselves. According to the rules established by the System, this is part of the Host's growth process, and the System cannot intervene.
If the Host approaches the Energy Flower Sea Pool, they will be infected by the highly polluted mixed energy.
However, after the System absorbs the energy from the Energy Flower Sea Pool, it will provide four layers of energy to the Host, which is sufficient to purify the Host's infected body, with plenty remaining.
It is recommended that the Host find a way to quickly enter the Dark Red Crystalline Barrier to consume the Energy Flower Sea Pool Water.
The time for the Host to be in close contact with the Energy Flower Sea Pool Water should not exceed sixty seconds. After sixty seconds, the Host's body will be completely infected and die from the highly polluted Energy Flower Sea Pool Water, and the System will not be able to save them in time." The voice of the War God System echoed in Rek's mind.
Faced with the energy appearing not far away, this time the War God System did not complain at all about Rek interrupting its words earlier.
"You said nothing useful; it seems I have to rely on myself.
I will send a clone into it and use a large pot to bring back Energy Flower Sea Pool Water to the Tower of Desire.
System Chief, you can directly isolate any toxic radiation from that energy in the Tower of Desire, right? Then absorb and consume it.
Just make sure my clone doesn't get poisoned after bringing back Energy Flower Sea Pool Water to the Tower of Desire; otherwise, I would be in big trouble.
System, remember to heal my contaminated clone after absorbing the energy. If you can't even manage that, I'll just leave and not let my clone take any risks." Rek spoke to the War God System in his mind.
"Yes, the Tower of Desire is a special mission reward obtained by the Host. There are intelligent beings inside the Tower of Desire, and as long as one enters alive, death will not occur.
The System can directly isolate and absorb the energy from the Energy Flower Sea Pool Water within the Tower of Desire.
The clone is part of the Host's body.
The System can subsequently heal the clone and suggests that the Host execute this plan as soon as possible; there is a monkey trying to steal energy from the System!" The voice of the War God was somewhat urgent in Rek's mind.
Upon hearing the War God System's assurance, Rek felt relieved and began to focus on dealing with the two massive Seed Pods.
Although the Seed Pods were enormous, they moved surprisingly quickly and sent out numerous slender branches to attack.
For a moment, Victorious Monkey, Rek, and Alice were all engaged in battle with the Seed Pods, unable to divert their attention.
Rek seized an opportunity and, in a low-lying area obscured by a large rock, released a clone holding two large Metal Pots.
"Clone, avoid detection from Alice and Fighting Saint Monkey.
Try to get close to the Dark Red Energy Shield.
Once I detonate the Seed Pod and cracks appear in the Dark Red Energy Shield, you rush in immediately. Use the two large pots to collect as much Energy Flower Sea Pool Water as possible and bring it back to the Tower of Desire. You will also return with me and stay in the Tower of Desire to transcribe scriptures while waiting for the War God System to heal your infected body," Rek commanded his clone.
The clone had already read and transcribed a million volumes of ancient scriptures multiple times.
While it did not gain any other abilities, it had become so attuned to its environment that Rek would not even notice that a living clone stood beside him.
The clone gained an additional effect of weakening existence, which gave Rek more confidence in this operation.
Rek attracted the attacks of two massive Seed Pods. After a few minutes, seeing that the clone had already hidden near the Dark Red Energy Barrier, Rek seized the opportunity to successfully throw two bombs into the two gigantic Seed Pods he was dealing with.
This time, Rek quickly retreated. Without waiting for Alice's message, he directly pressed the remote control in his hand, detonating the two massive Seed Pods.
"Boom!" Two loud explosions sounded as the two enormous Seed Pods shattered from within. The bombs made by Alice were quite effective, truly causing the giant Seed Pods to explode into pink fragments, with petals and powder scattering throughout the entire space.
As Alice had anticipated, with the destruction of the two massive Seed Pods, a small crack appeared in the previously impenetrable Dark Red Energy Barrier.
Rek's clone had been guarding near the energy barrier and immediately rushed through the gap when it appeared, carrying two large pots.
"Why did you detonate the bombs early! Hurry, Fighting Saint Monkey, throw the explosives into the Seed Pod and detonate them with me." From a distance came Alice's angry voice as she battled a large Seed Pod.
"The Seed Pod's attacks are too strong; if I don't detonate it, I won't be able to avoid its attacks. I'll wait outside the Dark Red Energy Barrier for Fighting Saint Monkey. I can follow him inside; I won't go in first to absorb the Energy Flower Sea Pool Water," Rek shouted from afar.
Hearing Rek's explanation, Alice could no longer blame him.
Alice and Victorious Monkey unleashed all their power without holding back. Within two or three seconds, all remaining bombs were thrown into the Seed Pod.
Alice and Victorious Monkey detonated the Seed Pods simultaneously. Countless petals and powder from the Seed Pods floated in space as this massive cave-like enclosed area began to shake violently, giving a sense that it might collapse.
After Rek's detonation, the cracks in the Dark Red Energy Barrier initially shrank a bit; now, with another four massive Seed Pods detonated, the cracks widened again.
The Fighting Saint Monkey rushed towards the crack in the Dark Red Energy Barrier with astonishing speed.
Rek watched as the Fighting Saint Monkey charged forward, using his Mental Energy to glance at the clone inside the Dark Red Energy Barrier.
At that moment, the clone was squatting in front of a Crimson Small Pool, holding two large pots, one in each hand. The pool was much smaller than Rek had anticipated.
The water in the pool had nearly run dry, and the large pots contained a slowly bubbling dark red liquid.
Rek observed that aside from the liquid in the two large pots, there was less than one-tenth of the original amount left in the pool.
The two heavy Metal Pots were showing signs of corrosion from the Dark Red Liquid, emitting white steam. Rek knew he could not delay any longer; the remaining less than one-tenth of the Dark Red Liquid should be reserved for Victorious Monkey and himself. If he delayed further, the heavy Metal Pots might start leaking.
Rek glanced again at the Tower of Desire, where an area had already been isolated by the War God System.
"It seems the clone is moving quickly. Clone, hurry and return the large pots to the Tower of Desire. After that, you need to receive treatment from the War God System. Don't let this toxic Energy Flower Sea Pool Water infect you and cause your demise," Rek commanded his clone.
Under Rek's watchful gaze, the clone vanished with both massive Metal Pots before the Small Pool.
At this point, the Fighting Saint Monkey had already reached the dark red energy barrier and charged straight through it. Rek followed closely behind him into the crack.
The Fighting Saint Monkey looked inside the dark red barrier and saw the Small Pool that had appeared.
The pool's water was red like blood, which excited the monkey greatly. Victorious Monkey jumped up on the spot and plunged his metal rod into the pool water, beginning to absorb energy.
Rek followed closely behind Fighting Saint Monkey and noticed that this monkey did not seem suspicious about the low amount of water in the pool, which put him at ease.
After all, no one had ever been to the Energy Flower Sea Pool before; they only knew that the water in this pool contained a lot of energy, but no one knew exactly how much.
Rek also extended the Bone Blade of his Genetic Mech, making it slender and plunging it into the pool water. Rek himself did not dare to approach the water, standing at a distance and being careful not to be splashed by the bright red liquid.
After all, this bright red water, if it were blood, was said to be a mixture of highly toxic substances from the Dark Space.
"War God System, start devouring the water from the Energy Flower Sea Pool through the Bone Blade. How much you can absorb depends on your strength. Anyway, I will leave before the Dark Red Energy Barrier closes behind me. Also, you need to heal my body; I'm giving you energy to devour, so don't let me get infected by this poisonous pool water," Rek said to the War God System in his mind.
The War God System didn't need Rek's unnecessary chatter; facing this high-energy pool water, it was eager for more and directly activated its devouring ability.
Golden Light flickered on Rek's Bone Blade.
However, Rek noticed that the Dark Red Energy Barrier behind him was visibly shrinking at an alarming rate. In about five or six seconds, he would be trapped inside.
Time was tight, and Rek realized how difficult it was to absorb this red liquid. In five seconds, the Fighting Saint Monkey and the War God System had barely consumed even a thousandth of the pool water.
Even so, Rek noticed that after a few seconds of absorption, Victorious Monkey's fur became shinier; the energy concentration in this pool water was much higher than Rek had previously anticipated.
Thinking that there were still plenty of red liquids in the Tower of Desire, Rek decided not to take any more risks here. He stopped absorbing and quickly turned around to dash out through the shrinking gap.
Outside the gap, Alice was wielding her dual swords, constantly swinging them in front of her to fend off the Green Mutants rushing in from all sides.
"Victorious Monkey, hurry up! If you wait any longer, the Dark Red Energy Barrier will close, and you'll die inside!" Alice shouted anxiously at the monkey inside as she saw only Rek emerge and noticed the energy barrier shrinking.
After waiting for another three to five seconds, just as the Dark Red Energy Barrier was reduced to a thin slit, Rek felt that greedy monkey might stay inside forever.
The monkey's body unexpectedly became thinner and squeezed through the gap.
"Great, I've gained a lot of energy. Hiss!" The Fighting Saint Monkey excitedly called out beside Alice, jumping in place while waving the Metal Pipe. Under the massive Metal Pipe, rows of Green Mutants were flattened.
Rek then realized that this monkey had become incredibly powerful, having only consumed a small portion of the Energy Flower Sea Pool Water, which had allowed its previously depleted energy to recover somewhat.
The originally dark gray fur on the monkey had turned bright golden in many places, making it look quite striking.
Victorious Monkey was very satisfied with this feast and began rampaging through the cave.
"Fighting Saint Monkey, protect us as we leave this cave! We need to hurry; I feel that the energy here is very unstable. This place could collapse at any moment, and something bad might happen," Alice urgently shouted to the excited Victorious Monkey, who was caught up in the battle.
With the protective presence of the excited Victorious Monkey, Rek and Alice successfully broke through the green humanoid Alien Horde and crawled back out from the small cave passage.
Alice recalled Victorious Monkey and sat with Rek on the Hover Motorcycle.
Rek immediately drove the Hover Motorcycle away from the area.
After driving for more than ten minutes, Rek and Alice heard an explosion behind them, accompanied by a "bang!" The ground's sand shook beneath them.
The two turned their heads to see that a massive Pink Fountain had appeared in the area where the Death Flower Sea Pool Water had been underground.
The fountain continuously sprayed pink liquid into the sky, and even from a distance, they could see this spectacular pink fountain.
