It took half a day to arrive at the Ahimi Volcanic Islands sooner than expected, and that being said, it was only early in the morning that a few red craters could be seen from the bow of the ship, and there was still a long way to go to the real safe place, and Qian Qiu said that he would not reach the port until at least noon. Ahimel had only one main city, built on an extinct volcanic mountain on the edge of the volcanic archipelago, and it was not even as large as Cloud City. Most of the people living in the vicinity are only a few native residents, except for laborers and merchants. It is precisely because of the safe distance from the active volcano on the other side that is rich in gems that the city named "Arthur" has survived for a long time, and gradually flourished among more and more desperate merchants, the port of Arthur City is always full of white sails and vendors, except for most players who have not opened their trips here, and most of the native residents of other nearby volcanic islands have migrated here for safety and trade convenience.

"Qianqiu, obviously the residents near the volcanic island also know that this place is very dangerous, why didn't they move to Charlotte Bay as soon as possible?" Xuanyuan Yan was slumped on the deck chair basking in the sun, but the weather was too good, and now he was so shaken by the light that he couldn't open his eyes, and he missed things like sunglasses very much.

Qian Qiu smiled and took two melons from the fruit bowl and handed them to Xuanyuan Yan's hand: "After all, this is their hometown, it is said that a long time ago, there was basically no sign of activity on the volcano here, and at that time this was still an unusually prosperous transportation hub between Dongsheng and Isata. One day, a magnificent city in the sky flew by, surrounded by dark clouds, and the place it passed caused bursts of lightning and thunder, and it came to the highest and most prosperous volcanic island in the Ahimi Islands. There are winged men who call themselves "messengers of God" who flutter from above, wearing garments made of threads pressed into crystals, wearing crowns as transparent as glass, and walking on clouds that do not fall to the ground and do not get dirty, to convey the noble gospel to the world. ”

Lin Ziyue always felt that the term Sky City was a little familiar, and Xuanyuan Yu, who was sitting next to her, reminded her in a low voice: "It's Skaebia, and that Sky Wandering City is the prototype of Drifting City." ”

Qian Qiu didn't hear anyone interrupt, and continued to tell Xuanyuan Yan the story of Ahimi's history: "At that time, the inhabitants of the volcanic island were very excited, they thought that they had really seen the messenger of God, after all, these people who came down from the sky and looked gentle and beautiful, and the light of the gods looked like gods. People kowtowed and prayed constantly, responding to the requests of these oracles, obeying every order of the oracles, and carrying out the requests of the oracles perfectly. The inhabitants of the time did not know that the wide tunnels they had dug would be their own mausoleums, and that by removing the reclaimed volcanic rocks, they were tearing down the foundation stones of their own habitat. The oracles are here to find new energy for the Sky City, and the ladder erected by the people on the ground is the pipe that transports the earth's fire. ”

Lin Ziyue was stunned: "Are you saying that the group of people in the sky ran down to bewitch the people of Ahimi, and then transported magma through the originally stable crater, and then the volcano erupted, and finally led to a huge natural disaster?"

"This should be a man-made disaster, right?" Xuanyuan Yu added, "Others may believe it, but we all know that the people above the Sky City of Skebia are people, not some oracles, but extremely powerful, just like us in front of Qian Qiu." ”

Qian Qiu immediately stopped: "What are you talking about! I just treat you as a more powerful adventurer, and I just want to learn a few tricks and eat all over the world!

Because he knew that Qian Qiu would definitely suffer if he continued to talk about it, Lin Ziyue hurriedly stopped his slippery head: "Don't pay attention to him, you said yours, let's finish this story first and then come back to discuss these issues." ”

Later, just as Sister Lin said, the mountain fire was dug out of the ground and gushed all the way up along the road where people lived in all directions. However, the ladder was a rough project that took three years after all, and although Sky City had obtained enough power energy, it also overestimated the carrying capacity of the ladder, and I am afraid that the oracles did not expect that the bottom of the sea near Ahimi was a large and endless group of volcanoes, far more dangerous than the large islands seen on the sea. The messengers departed with the island of the gods, the ladder collapsed, and the mountain fire flowed like a whale spewing out a column of water, rising high from the sky as if it were about to erupt into the clouds to another world, and then turned into the hottest curse of Ahimit, incinerating the living beings among the mountains and rocks...... Plants, animals, people, nothing escaped destruction, and until now there are several igneous stone statues excavated from the ruins of Arthur City, all of which maintain the painful expression of life. ”

No one spoke for a while, but they felt sad for those people just thinking about that scene.

Arthur was the son of the leader of a small tribe of Ahimi at that time, and he had been skipping work from his place of work to go fishing overseas with a few other acquaintances of the tribe, and they were rowing out frantically when they saw the fire breaking out. Perhaps it was the blessing of heaven that their boat was swept away by the waves on the island where Arthur's City is now, and no one even fell or was injured and became a survivor of Ahimi. Looking at the end of their homeland from afar, these people survived on that island, going out every day to find survivors, and in this way, the civilization of Ahimi survived strongly, as if Heaven was going to leave them a glimmer of life. ”

Xuanyuan Yan rubbed his eyes that were a little dazed by the sun, and expressed disdain for Qian Qiu's statement: "This has nothing to do with the sky, this is their own effort." Human beings are inherently strong animals, and the more they are dying, the more desperate they can survive......"

The merchant ship has finally arrived in Arthur City, the land of survivors of the Ahimian Islands.

Lin Ziyue greeted Qian Qiu, they needed to go around the city first. Although Qian Qiu desperately wanted to follow Lin Ziyue and them, as the person in charge of this voyage of the Bora Chamber of Commerce, he had too many things to do and couldn't leave, so he could only watch a few people leave the merchant ship. Qian Qiu and Lin Ziyue said several times that the boat would stop for five days, just because they were afraid that these people would run away and never come back. It wasn't until his grinding made Xuanyuan Yu impatient that Qian Qiu went back to the ship with tears in his eyes to hand over the goods and count the supplies, letting go of these "immortal masters" that he had in mind.

Xuanyuan Yan carried the drowsy and weak Meng Li off the boat, and as soon as his feet fell to the ground, Meng Li was like a person who had been holding his breath underwater for too long and could finally breathe, the whole person leaned on a coconut tree and rubbed his face desperately, Meng Li's mouth let out a twisted laugh, and his expression was so excited that passers-by looked sideways, and he had completely given up his image.

Xuanyuan Yu looked disgusted: "Let's pretend not to know him, okay?" Lin Ziyue muttered: "The character has collapsed...... Old Yan, hurry, hurry, hurry up and drag him away, don't be embarrassed here......" Xuanyuan Yan shook his head: "If you want to go up and drag him yourself, I still want this old face, I'm still ashamed." ”

In the end, it was Xuanyuan Yu who relieved Meng Li with one sentence, and fell from heaven to hell in an instant: "Don't be stupid here! We still have two months of boat to sit on when we go to Dongsheng!"

Meng Li, who was like a thunderbolt and had a gloomy face, walked over and followed behind Lin Ziyue and the three of them in a trance. As for why this is happening, although Lin Ziyue asked Xuanyuan Yan, she did not receive a specific answer, Xuanyuan Yan told her that this kind of thing varies from person to person, but Meng Li is used to suppressing the power of the title, so it is easy to be eaten by the power of the title, and the weakness becomes violent is one of the phenomena of this backlash.

The port of Arthur City is even more prosperous than that of Charlotte Bay, with almost a third of the harbor surrounding the entire island, and the Bora Chamber of Commerce ships have private berths on the edge of the trade market in the public port. The smaller ships were almost all crowded into the common harbor with each other, and the sound of trumpets and various tones of swearing and laughter was incessant, and the cries of selling were mixed with confusion that it was difficult to distinguish. The temperature on the island suddenly became a lot higher, and I don't know if it was because of the large number of people or the environment of the island itself was so hot.

The smell of fishy and sweet fruit mingles and wafts through the crowded trading area. From time to time, groups of merchants with escorts passed by, pointing at the boats on the docks, and the vendors on either side held open coconuts and bunches of bananas, shouting at the sweaty sailors. Brave young girls would carry a bunch of bananas or two or three coconuts with thin thatched pipes in their arms, smiling coquettishly as they walked to the more handsome guards, and then after getting several copper plates, they would give them a flying kiss, drawing laughter and scolding from the other guards on the side.

The canopies on the heads of the vendors sheltered the scorching midday sun, but the shadows cast did not block much of the scorching heat, nor did they stop the gluttonous seagulls and sparrows, and from time to time you could see tiny wings fluttering from under the shelves, dropping a few feathers above the heads of passers-by, and hurriedly fleeing from the stall owners who swept the floor with branches. The things on each stall are very miscellaneous, except for some shoddy colored gemstone products, most of which are based on local unique flavor fruits and fresh seafood, of course, there are also some air-dried fish fillets or simple snacks, and occasionally the smell of fried fish balls makes the mouth water, in addition to a lot of simple daily necessities, furniture, utensils, clothes and hats made of palm trees or banana leaves, etc., and even some ointments and medicated oils of unknown composition, according to the yellow-toothed old woman, have a miraculous effect on seasickness and seasickness.

Bought two ointments and stuffed them into Meng Li's pocket, Lin Ziyue and Xuanyuan Yu were holding a coconut alone, Xuanyuan Yan held the bag of water pu fruit wrapped in banana leaves, squeaked and gnawed very freely, ignoring Meng Li's eyes glaring at him, and handed him a water pu fruit. Meng Li took the red and white fist-sized fruit, wiped it and took a bite, there was no particularly strong taste, there was a hint of sweetness in the fragrance, but it was a good relief for his still uncomfortable heart.

A few people wandered around the market for a long time, filling their stomachs in front of a few stalls, and then walked to the city. Walking through the busy market and stepping on the stone and brick road common in the main city of the illusory world, people suddenly felt soothed, leaving the crowd in the market behind, Lin Ziyue and the others walked towards the more peaceful city center. After detouring for a long time and asking for directions, they found something extremely embarrassing.

Arthur City, the only city in the Ahimi Islands, has no supporting facilities for the Illusion System here! That is to say, there is no City Lord's Mansion, no registration office for mercenary squads, and no teleportation array!

"No, what should I do now? Do you really want to put buns on their pigeons again, but I promised her!" Lin Ziyue was anxious to go back and forth, like a puppy running around its tail.

Meng Li seemed very indifferent: "They can't help much when they come, the current player level is too low, and it doesn't help much." ”

Xuanyuan Yu also nodded: "I don't approve of them coming." And they come and mess with us on the ship every day and have no experience to upgrade, but they are dragging themselves down. A sea trip is reluctant for one day, three or five days for enjoyment, a week for vacation, but two months...... It's going to be annoying for the players who come to play the game, right?"

Xuanyuan shrugged his shoulders and expressed his neutral attitude, not caring about many people and few people.

There were very few people on the street, and there were almost no people in sight, at this time, the sea breeze was blowing through the empty street, Meng Li and Xuanyuan Yan both had some inexplicable unsteadiness feeling, Xuanyuan Yu looked back and forth at the street where the sound was getting quieter and quieter, and felt the hairs behind him, which was a subconscious sense of crisis. From time to time, there are still pedestrians talking and laughing around them, but this subtle sense of isolation lingers.

Just when Lin Ziyue was still feeling a headache because of the things on the bun's side and didn't notice anything unusual, several people suddenly heard someone behind them shouting desperately, and turned their heads to see that it was actually Qian Qiu. This little fat man, who usually pretends to be mature, ran over at this time and actually panicked, and his daily neatly wiped back was scattered because of wild sweat at this time, and when he ran to this side panting, his mouth opened and closed, and he kept shouting. He wasn't the only one running in such a panic, more and more people were running around in a panic, and the atmosphere of panic exploded in the streets.

Qian Qiu was getting closer and closer, so the words from his mouth were the clearest: "Go, get on the boat—let's go, let's leave at once—"

Xuanyuan Yan and Xuanyuan Yu glanced at each other, Xuanyuan Yan immediately turned his hands into a thick fog, and took the stunned Lin Ziyue with him as soon as he rolled it to his side, and Xuanyuan Yan took her down when he took off into the air. Meng Li lit up behind him, and the bat's wings condensed in the purple faint light, and he flew out with a dodge, directly in the armpit of Qian Qiu who was running, and lifted Qian Qiu up with a little force. Xuanyuan Yu just moved his fingers slightly, and a spatial crack immediately appeared in front of him, and his figure passed through it in a slight flicker.

When Xuanyuan Yu's figure reappeared, he landed directly on a nearby tall house, and after looking around at the situation, he immediately shouted below: "The people on the street are all in chaos! Take off immediately! Go from above!"

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Yan and Meng Li's bodies instantly rose a few meters higher, and Qian Qiu, who was shaking his hands and feet with Lin Ziyue and shouting, also flew up suddenly, and the whole picture of Arthur City was revealed in front of the eyes of several people, but they didn't have the heart to enjoy the scenery of this old city. Because not far from the sea, a thick and bursting column of smoke caught their eye, unlike the light fog that Xuanyuan always used, the smoke there was so black that it was like the night sky had been poured down and poured into the bottom of the sea. Only a faint gray on the periphery warns the people, where the blood of the planet is flowing from the ground, and the boiling magma is raising its head, smelling the breath of the creatures on the ground, full of the urge to come out and explore the surface.

Meng Li's mouth cursed a few times, but his movements were fast, and he flew away in the direction of the dock with a flap of his wings, and Qian Qiu, who was two hundred catties fast, did not affect his speed at all. Xuanyuan Yan's smoke drifted a few meters slower and fell behind Meng Li, and Xuanyuan Yu's figure flashed quickly from the rooftops and alleys, and where he passed, those who ran in a panic or fell to the ground because of pushing and shoving, often disappeared. Xuanyuan Yu was still counting the number in his heart, and found that he couldn't save it endlessly, so he had to change the teleportation destination of these people, from the big ship of the Baolai Chamber of Commerce to the dock where a few people passed by, at least if there was a boat, they could leave as soon as possible, and now that the situation was urgent, he didn't know what else could be better.

In just a few minutes, several people jumped over the nearly three-hour distance they had walked when they came. The ship of the Bora Chamber of Commerce was already close in front of him, and the smoke in the crater was getting thicker and thicker, revealing a bright red light inside the black curtain, and those red flying flakes seemed to be gnawing at the curtain outside, gradually breaking free from the black smoke. Even after a hundred miles, several people could sensitively feel that the changes in the crater were intensifying because of their special soul qualities...... It's definitely not going to be a good change!

Although there was a distance away, it was clear that they couldn't feel the temperature near the volcano, but Xuanyuan Yan and Xuanyuan Yu seemed to smell the smell of burning again, it was a kind of fear that had been hidden in their souls for many years, it was a painful memory that had almost been integrated into their souls, Xuanyuan Yu subconsciously raised his hand and poured a pinch of seawater on his head, and the cold sea water calmed his head. Xuanyuan Yan didn't know when there was an extra cigarette in his mouth, but the cigarette butt never lit up, he wanted to light it, but he didn't dare to light it.

Lin Ziyue was put on the deck at the bow of the ship by Xuanyuan Yan, and there were already many people there at this time, shouting and urging the captain and sailors to start the ship, and they wanted to leave immediately. If this group of people who were rescued by Xuanyuan Yu hadn't seen the swords in the hands of those guards, they would have been driven by fear to seize control of the merchant ships. When a steward saw Meng Li and Qian Qiu lying on the deck together, he quickly breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately shouted frantically at the captain, since the eldest young master had returned, he immediately ordered those sailors to leave the ship immediately.

Meng Li fell on the boat because the suppressive power of the ocean fell on him again, Xuanyuan Yan helped him up, and Lin Ziyue and Xuanyuan Yu helped Qian Qiu up.

Qian Qiu didn't show a trace of excitement at all because of the flight, his little eyes were very sharp on his round face, and with a different solemnity than usual, he yelled at the noisy crowd in front of him: "Shut up for me! This is Lao Tzu's boat! If you dare to talk more, I will drive you all down! Since you are on the boat, you have to listen to Lao Tzu! If you want to live, shut up! If you want to die, I don't mind if you get off immediately! When is it still noisy!"

The audience was stunned for a moment, and then immediately someone shrank in the crowd and coaxed in dissatisfaction: "Where did you come from, dead fat man, you think you are screaming! Why do we have to listen to you!"

Qian Qiu turned his head, and there was no room for the fierceness in his eyes: "Xuanyuan Yu, please, teach them a lesson." Two voices in one boat is a big no-no. ”

Xuanyuan Yu didn't nod or shake his head, just stretched out his hand, and an exclamation suddenly came out of the crowd, but in an instant, the exclamation became faint, accompanied by the sound of entering the water outside the boat. Then Xuanyuan Yu hooked his fingers, and there was one more person in front of Qian Qiu, the man who had just made a provocative statement. Looking at his bright clothes, it was obvious that he was either a nobleman from Arthur's City or a merchant of great value, but at this time he was soaked with sea water all over his body, and there were even a few seaweeds hanging on his neckline, which was extremely embarrassing.

Xuanyuan Yu glanced at the crowd over there, and a group of people suddenly lost their voices and slowly retreated back.

"Since I can save you and put you on the ship, I can throw you back. Everything is under the command of this person, then everything is fine. ”

Xuanyuan Yu patted Qian Qiu's shoulder, Qian Qiu was very satisfied with such a result, and handed him a grateful look.

Lin Ziyue didn't look at the panicked crowd, her eyes moved from the increasingly noisy port to the black smoke, and she frowned.

The Book of Destiny didn't give her any tasks, which meant that there was no hint, and she didn't need to use it to tinker with the progress of the Six Realms. But...... What about the Phantom World?

The Ahimi Islands are not open to players right now, so it doesn't matter if it exists or not? So these inhabitants have become your victims, and you want to use such a sudden coincidence to erase us? What a shoddy handwriting, this approach is simply different from the Book of Destiny, not just pure naivety, but deliberately overturning your original world line and logical track.

The smiling faces of sailors, vendors, and residents in the stalls suddenly flashed before her eyes. It shouldn't be like this, this should also be a sight that players who come here in the future can also enjoy, they are real people in the fantasy world. Even these ill-intentioned people on board...... Nor should it disappear because of a "coincidence" that is too deliberately forcibly embellished.

They're NPCs, we're not, and they're powerless to deal with this...... But we can!
