Dragon Island

Zhang Xinying, who was guarding beside Isabelle’s bed, suddenly heard Mingmen Yue’Er’s terrified scream from outside:

"Zixin!"

"Ying Sister, come quickly! What’s wrong with Zixin?"

"Zixin, Zixin."

This startled Zhang Xinying, who was already exhausted and preparing to log off and rest.

Without time to think much, Zhang Xinying immediately got up and ran towards the cave entrance.

Just stepping out of the cave, she saw Wang Zixin on the platform, currently enveloped by a blood-red transparent barrier.

As Zhang Xinying tried to approach, she was repelled by a heart-stopping force.

She immediately withdrew her hand and realized that if she forced herself into the protective barrier, she would certainly suffer unbearable damage.

Mingmen Yue’Er started crying anxiously and said to Zhang Xinying as she arrived:

"Ying Sister, look, what’s happening to Zixin."

Zhang Xinying was already mentally exhausted due to Isabelle’s issue.

But faced with Wang Zixin’s anomaly, she had no choice but to hold her spirit together and ask about the cause:

"What happened? Wasn’t Zixin fine before?"

Seeing Wang Zixin’s tense expression, and sweat-covered face, Mingmen Yue’Er seemed somewhat out of her mind:

"I don’t know either."

"Just a moment ago, the girl said Xiao Jie was in danger."

"And then this happened."

Hearing this, Zhang Xinying was instantly shocked:

"What!"

"Can Zixin sense Xiao Jie?"

Mingmen Yue’Er shook her head indicating:

"I’m not sure."

"No matter how I called her afterward, she didn’t respond, like what you’re seeing now."

Zhang Xinying suddenly grew intensely nervous:

"Wait a moment."

Zhang Xinying hurriedly informed Lin Yi of the situation here.

Lin Yi, who was on the way, couldn’t help but shudder when he saw the information from Zhang Xinying.

"They’re in danger!"

Lin Yi wasn’t at all surprised about Wang Zixin sensing Red Eyes in danger.

Because now, with Lin Yi’s help, Wang Zixin’s Eye of Destiny has, along with her rising level, allowed her to use some special abilities normally.

Lin Yi had no doubt about the power of the Eye of Destiny.

What he worried about now was what kind of encounter Red Eyes and the others had to trigger Wang Zixin’s Eye of Destiny.

Thinking of some unsavory consequences, Lin Yi’s expression turned grim:

"Increase the speed!"

Jade Qilin didn’t waste words:

"Sit tight, young master."

Before Lin Yi could reply, Jade Qilin turned into a streak of light and vanished into the sky.

The Dragon Race, seeing this, also increased their speed again, roaring as they flew toward the destination.

...

...

Here, after Zhang Xinying informed Lin Yi about Wang Zixin’s situation, Wang Zixin soon seemed to collapse from exhaustion, even staggering as if about to fall.

The blood-colored protective barrier surrounding Wang Zixin also shattered on cue.

Zhang Xinying and Mingmen Yue’Er immediately went forward to hold Wang Zixin, who weakly opened her eyes at that moment and said:

"Quick, save my brother, he’s in a place surrounded by lava."

After speaking, Wang Zixin triggered the game’s protective mechanism and was forcibly logged off.

Mingmen Yue’Er directly chose to log off:

"I’ll go check on her."

Zhang Xinying nodded:

"Alright."

"I’ll be there soon."

Then Zhang Xinying relayed Wang Zixin’s last words before logging off to Lin Yi.

Afterward, Zhang Xinying instructed Dragon Clan Elder Sigmund to help look after Isabelle before hurriedly logging off as well.

Over there, upon receiving Zhang Xinying’s message, Lin Yi’s heart tightened immediately.

An extremely ominous premonition surged into his mind.

By this time, Jade Qilin’s speed had reached its limit, and even the Dragon Race army was already out of sight.

Yet Lin Yi still felt it wasn’t fast enough, uneasy he said:

"Can it go faster!"

Wang Zixin’s words not only confirmed Mari Kyoko’s guess but were also the only information Lin Yi had heard about their situation for days.

Though this situation sounded very dangerous, it at least proved they weren’t as worse off as he imagined.

Of course.

This was merely temporary.

Lin Yi dared not imagine what they’d face next moment.

Therefore, Lin Yi’s only thought now was to find them before things spiral out of control.

However, it’s still uncertain which volcano they’re under.

Jade Qilin seemed to feel Lin Yi’s inner anxiousness, without saying much, continued to accelerate.

The place initially supposed to take more than half an hour to reach was forced to arrive nearly twenty minutes earlier due to Jade Qilin’s desperate rush.

The Fuji Island, where Mount Fuji was located, didn’t present the desolate landscape people imagined a volcano to have.

Contrarily, lush forests covered every corner of the island.

As the Holy Mountain in the Racial War Zone, Mount Fuji sat right in the island’s center.

The most noteworthy feature was the layer of thick snow on the volcano’s crater, never melting throughout the year.

Yet inside, the volcano continuously boiled with magma.

No one could explain why this snow remained unaffected by the heat from the magma.

Jade Qilin directly flew to the top of Mount Fuji, then landed next to the crater.

Feeling the sunny season around him, yet stepping on the cold-feeling snow, Lin Yi gazed below at the continuously boiling magma, and a word popped into his mind.

That word was: incongruity!!!

Lin Yi looked at everything around him, seemingly beautiful on the surface, but filled with contradiction and discord beneath.

Gazing at the island’s flourishing forest, Lin Yi couldn’t feel any vitality here.

Across the vast island, no living creatures were seen, only the sound of bubbling magma and the sea wind were intertwined around his ears.

Observing his surroundings, Lin Yi said to Jade Qilin and White Tiger:

"Search separately, notify me immediately if anything seems off."

Jade Qilin instantly grasped Lin Yi’s meaning and swiftly dashed out.

White Tiger’s reaction was slightly delayed; it took a moment before it understood Lin Yi’s intent, flapping its wings and flying in the opposite direction.

Lin Yi followed up by summoning Golden Behemoth, issuing the same command.

The straightforward Golden Behemoth rushed into the forest without a word, disappearing without a trace.

Spreading his four wings, Lin Yi arrived in mid-air above the volcano center.

Glancing at the bubbling lava below, Lin Yi found no anomalies and promptly spread his wings, starting to circle Mount Fuji seeking an entrance or clue.

Just then, Jade Qilin suddenly appeared beside Lin Yi, excitedly said:

"Master."

"I found an abandoned Divine Shrine down there."

"It seems to be what Shinzi girl mentioned, the ’Yellow Springs Shrine representing reincarnation.’"

Lin Yi heard and immediately said:

"Go, take me there now."

Jade Qilin directly turned towards the forest and flew off:

"Follow me."

Simultaneously, Samson was gripping Red Eyes’ neck, a bloodthirsty smile on his face said:

"The game is over!"

Speaking, Samson launched a possession strike on the unconscious Red Eyes again...
