Firefly Journey

The long night is coming to an end, and the moon returns to the dark river.

The pitch-black sky transformed into a hazy gray fog, and the Yedern Mountains were about to welcome the dawn.

At the entrance to the Divine Ruins, Cassius Bello had not yet returned. After a night of recovery, the leaders of various forces had largely replenished the energy they had used to break the seal.

Da da--

The sound of footsteps rustling through the fallen leaves and branches was heard. Lu Mo and the others looked in the direction of the sound and were taken aback.

Members of the tomb raiding teams from St. Louis, the Fighting Arena, and the Wings of Machines, among others, arrived bathed in the morning breeze.

“Teacher, we’re back.” As they approached, Jamie Roberts breathed a sigh of relief, sheathed his spear, and, with a “determination to have mercy on the world,” became less wary.

Jonathan the werewolf and Lumer and the others exchanged a confused look, and asked in a deep voice, "How did you end up here?"

Jamie Roberts made no secret of what had happened in the Divine Ruins, leaving the powerful figures frowning as they listened. According to Jamie, besides them, there were others who remained in the Divine Ruins.

Two students from St. Louis, a vanished giant, a couple turned into puppets, and... a large group that mysteriously disappeared from the Crystal Cave.

“Cassius said there was no danger inside. Did he lie to us, or is there something else going on?” Lumer said, resting his chin on his hand.

Jonathan said, "There's no doubt about the Great Teacher's character. I think something unexpected might have happened. After all, he's not omniscient or omnipotent. Anything could happen at the ruins of a god."

“Hmm…” Lu Mo nodded.

Then, he looked at the returning crowd and said, "So in the scene you witnessed, only the puppet couple died completely, right?"

After Lumer said that, the previously confident group suddenly began to doubt themselves. Sometimes, seeing is not believing. What if this was also an illusion created by Krumbo...

Therefore, no one dares to make any guarantees.

“I understand. Don’t wander around. Stay with us and we’ll talk when Cassius returns. I think no one knows this divine ruin better than him.” Lu Mo’s gaze turned cold.

Hilda and Steve sidled up to Lumer and began recounting the details. After all, he was an experienced middle-aged man, and his analysis of the situation and the details of what happened were definitely better than those young kids from St. Louis.

Robert and his sister had nothing to add. They both relaxed, feeling more at ease being with their "parents" since they were young and inexperienced in adventure.

Going on adventures everywhere is too dangerous... After I go back, maybe I should just stop going out altogether? Finne Roberts even considered becoming a couch potato.

The students of St. Louis were in a rather awkward position. With Cassius Bello absent, their "enthusiasm" had nowhere to go. However, upon hearing that their teacher had gone to fight the giant on the mountaintop, their backs straightened again, and a sense of pride welled up within them.

Arm wrestling with a demigod, that's the real him!

The old mage, Woolf, leaned quietly against a large tree and began to close his eyes to rest. He had also obtained a good item in that collection room before, and it was good that he was leaving now; it was a wise way to retire gracefully.

The giant brothers were not so optimistic. The two were depressed after losing their younger brother and did not say a word, waiting in silence. Perhaps only when Cassius Bello appeared could he tell them the result they did not want to accept.

Generally speaking, people are most sleepy around four or five in the morning. Whether it's a night worker who hasn't slept all night or an early-rising vendor, at this time, people always feel mentally foggy.

A lot can happen during the time it takes to wait for the sun to break through the sky.

Having just returned from the Divine Ruins, the group was already exhausted, both physically and mentally. Even as extraordinary beings, they couldn't resist the demands of their bodies. After all, they hadn't reached the divine level, and at this moment, they were all in a drowsy state.

Paninger had intended to wait for the teacher to return with everyone, but her body protested. She flapped her wings and flew up to a ten-meter-tall iron-crowned tree, where she rested against a branch.

Hoglius and the others exchanged glances. Allen nodded silently, as if to say, "I'm watching. Let her sleep. You can too. I'm in good enough shape."

That being said, despite being very tired, Fway and Hauglis dared not rest. This was in the wild, not in St. Louis, and with their teacher not around, any danger could occur; they couldn't rely on numbers.

Moreover, most of the people here aren't part of our group, even though they've shown enough friendliness.

A light mist shrouded the mountains, enveloping the entrance to the Divine Ruins. From a distance, the mist did not appear to cover a large area, but rather only extended to the vicinity of the Divine Ruins.

An overwhelming sense of drowsiness washed over him, and Fway's eyelids drooped, soon plunging him into a deep sleep. Hauglis, having followed the path of the God of War, possessed exceptional physical attributes, but the interference of the fog caused his muscles to begin to tire, making it increasingly difficult to control his sleepiness.

Almost simultaneously, Robert and his sister, the Giants, and even Lumer and others felt utterly exhausted and just wanted to fall asleep on the spot.

The world seemed to quiet down, and apart from Macaulay, who needed to continuously infuse the Divine Ruins with magic, everyone more or less drifted off to sleep.

Under the big tree, Woolf opened her eyes.

……

……

boom!

After the explosion, Lin Yuanran waved his hand in front of his eyes to wipe away the dust.

The wind chime, which had been positioned for ventilation, remained completely still under the tremendous force of the thunderbolt, without even leaving a trace.

"This... isn't it a bit too hard?" Lin Yuanran said disappointedly. The move that Feng Ling used to kill Ram Rachel just now couldn't even shake this wall, which was hard to accept.

Fengling frowned: "The door we came in through should be the most vulnerable part, but I've checked it, and the stone blocking the door fits perfectly into the wall, as if it was fused together from the beginning."

"Shall I give it a try?" Lin Yuanran said, gathering flames in his hand, about to unleash the Great Flame Dragon.

Feng Ling said, "Put it down, this is not something we can solve."

Lin Yuanran was unwilling, but since Feng Ling had said so, he had no choice but to withdraw his hand.

"Isn't there any other way?"

"Have."

"Really?" Lin Yuanran became excited again.

“Two,” Wind Chime said. “First, we wait for Cassius to come find us.”

Lin Yuanran gave a slight smirk. Wasn't that obvious?

"Second, turn your head and close your eyes, and I will use a secret method to open them."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuanran's mind raced. They didn't want me to see it!

What method could it be?

Who cares what method she uses? As long as I can get out, that's all that matters. Everyone has secrets, and I have a ton of my own problems too.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuanran obediently nodded and did as instructed.

"I'm all better," he said, turning away and closing his eyes.

After confirming that he had done so, Fengling gently patted the bell at her waist, and a book with a black leather cover appeared in her hand.

After flipping through a few pages, she seemed to have found a way, staring at the pages and silently reciting something.

Lin Yuanran couldn't hear. If he could, it would be like this—

"Supreme Ruler in the darkness, beautiful moon, symbol of joyful spirit, goddess of heavenly music, your authority will shine once more."
