Guided by Hongjing, Su Li and his companions' train ventured deeper into the area.

After talking with Hongjing, Su Li felt that Hongjing had no ill intentions towards them.

After a long while, they finally stopped in an underground cave.

Inside the cave, there is a large village, and around the village, there is a flowing lava river.

“We’ve arrived.” Hongjing jumped off the hood of the vehicle. “You can rest here for a while and get through the rest of your exploration period.”

"You guys really know a lot."

Su Li jumped off the hood of the car. "I need to check my car first."

“Okay, now that you’ve finished checking, come with me to see the village chief,” Hongjing said. “Consider it payment for saving you. Let’s talk.”

"Alright, I'd also like to know why you went to so much trouble to save us."

Hongjing waited to the side, and some other people from the village also came out.

Of the team, only Su Li and Sun Lili got out of the car. They had Sun Lili's teleportation ability, making them highly mobile and able to escape at any time if the situation turned bad.

The rest of the people waited in the car.

Zurich walked to the most damaged carriage of the train.

The entire vehicle had been ripped open by the mechanical orcs, and the motorcycles and off-road vehicles inside were covered in red liquid.

"Oh no!" Sun Lili exclaimed in frustration, "These things are coming to life!"

Su Li was startled, then looked closely at the cars.

Sure enough, red liquid was slowly seeping into the vehicles, and a faint glow was shimmering beneath them.

If cars behave this way, what about their trains?

Zuli quickly called to Ivan, "Ivan, check the train's detailed information."

A moment later, Ivan's anxious voice came through the mental link: "Brother-in-law, the train shows that the Demigod's Blessing has reached 0.2% activation progress."

"Damn it!" Su Li cleaved the reviving off-road vehicle in two with a single sword strike.

Su Li wasn't sure whether this activation was good or bad. But he instinctively felt that it wasn't a good thing.

After composing herself, Su Li led Sun Keke to Hong Jing. "Bring your village chief here. We dare not go into the village of an unfamiliar race."

"Okay, then wait a moment."

After finishing her sentence, Hongjing left Su Li and the other person behind and walked towards the inside of the village.

Su Li looked into the distance; the building materials of this village looked somewhat like concrete. The technological level of the residents here was about the same as that of Earth in the 70s.

Many villagers came out to check on Su Li and his group. Their species were varied, some resembling rabbits, some cats, and some wolves. They all looked quite similar to humans.

A short while later, an old cat-man with all his fur turned white came out.

"Hello, player of the Eternal Game." The old cat-man stroked his long beard. "I am the village chief here, Crimson Flame."

"Hello, I am Su Li, a player from the game Eternal Trace." Su Li nodded to the old man. "Hong Jing said you wanted to see us. I wonder what it is about? I think you must have something to say that you went to so much trouble to find us."

“Of course.” The old cat-man nodded. “We’d like to ask you for a favor. But before that, I’d like to tell you our story.”

With the old cat-man's aged voice, Su Li and the others returned to a long, long time ago.

This world is called the Skyfire World by the natives because in their world, the sky seems to be constantly burning with flames.

In this world, there are numerous intelligent beings. They are collectively known as the Skyfire Beast Clan.

The Skyfire Beast Clan has lived underground for generations, developing a civilization by utilizing the lava beneath the surface. After a devastating world war, the entire world was finally unified, forming a new nation.

Everything seemed to be getting better.

But one day, the world was suddenly destroyed.

These people are merely phantoms of the past. The true survivors have all been captured by the Eternal System and sent to participate in the Eternal Game.

However, these phantoms were unaware of this, and they continued to live as usual.

Then, the players of the Eternal Game appeared.

The players who appeared this time looked similar to the Tianyan Beast Clan, and the Tianyan Beast Clan did not recognize that these people were from another world.

Later in the first exploration period, violent volcanic eruptions began to occur all over the world, and countless people died.

Once the exploration is complete, it's time for the player to leave.

At this time, before leaving, a player attacked the territory of the Tianyan Beast Clan royal family, seized a large number of rare materials, and activated a video communication system for all players to announce a message.

It turns out they were all just illusions from the past; the real them had long since died.

This world, after they have explored it, will be completely destroyed in a short time.

After saying that, the player left in full view of everyone.

Everyone saw the player leave, and coupled with the sudden eruptions of volcanoes everywhere, many people believed it.

This might just be a game that player was having fun with. But for the native inhabitants of this world, it was a turning point in their destiny.

Upon suddenly learning this news, many people were devastated; no one wanted to die.

Since that's the case, then we must save ourselves.

I went out and got home late. There are still some words missing and many grammatical errors. I'll revise the article later.
