Without the Grand Master and the others needing to remind him, Zhou Si, who is now extremely sensitive to energy, understood almost the instant the Crimson Dragon gathered the earth's vein energy that it wanted to amplify it again.

'Perfect timing to test my newfound abilities on you.'

Thinking this, the jet-black reverse scale climbed up Zhou Si's body again.

A single scale from a black dragon obviously couldn't grant Zhou Si forbidden power, but even so, it gave him unimaginable abilities.

Aside from the exaggerated energy resistance of its scales, it also possesses a refined ability to perceive and manipulate energy.

While it might not be enough to make Zhou Si a master of energy like Alatreon, it could still disrupt Safi'jiiva's powerful attack buildup and cause it to explode.

And so, the blue 'droplet' that had just formed in the mouth of the Safi'jiiva exploded inside the Safi'jiiva without its owner being aware of it.

Chapter Thirty-Five: 3 People, 4 Tickets

"How did the Safi'jiiva become like this?"

When the third-phase leader and the scholars arrived to receive the corpse of the Fatalis, they were somewhat puzzled by the headless body before them.

The hunters all turned their attention to the guy who was pretending to admire the scenery.

"Hey~"

Zhou Si smiled shyly. He had only added a little something extra to the 'water droplet' while it was about to finish charging up the Dark Crimson Dragon's ultimate move.

Zhou Si stretched out his finger and gestured in front of him as if he had a universe at his fingertips, but probably no one present would believe him.

After all, unless someone has a problem with their sense of smell, they should be able to smell the strong gunpowder odor in the air.

Looking at the enormous corpse of the Crimson Dragon, the Grand Master stood in front of the crowd and raised his arms in a shout.

"The battle against the Fatalis is over!!!"

"Oh oh oh oh!!!"

Having evaded the questioning of the third team leader, Zhou Si secretly slipped out of the excited crowd and approached Azure Star.

The little mute girl was staring blankly at the corpse of the Safi'jiiva. The intense investigation and battles of the past few days had left her somewhat out of her mind.

His body swayed back and forth, as if he was about to fall over at any moment.

Seeing her like this, Zhou Si quickly went over and helped the little mute girl up, asking with some concern, "Little mute girl, are you alright?"

Don't call me by that name!

Azure Star wanted to say that, but her mind could only hold her "Aba aba" right now.

Looking at the Azure Star sprawled out in his arms, Zhou Si's face was full of helplessness. It seemed that even if healed, he would still drool.

However, Zhou Si could empathize with her situation very much.

In a corner unnoticed by the two, the crowd that had been cheering had fallen silent.

Dozens of eyes were tacitly watching in this direction, including many hunters who were still injured. At this moment, they had forgotten their pain, because the love life of their survey team's beloved members was more important than healing.

A 'mummy' wrapped in bandages lay on the cat cart, looking at the two people over there with some emotion, and said something that made everyone present fall into deep thought.

"It seems like that kid and that Lone Bird guy are getting quite close, aren't they?"

"..."

"Azure Star will definitely wipe out Lone Bird!"

"Instant! Big sister is the one everyone wants!"

"You don't know anything! Petite and cute girls like Azure Star are more likely to arouse people's protective instincts!"

"Protecting Azure Star, huh? That's interesting."

The crowd, which had just quieted down, immediately plunged into a new discussion, but this time the topic had clearly gone way off track.

......

Two days later, at the top floor of the Star Gathering Hall.

The ship that originally carried the first wave of hunters to the New World has now become the main venue for the banquet.

A day ago, Alatreon confirmed that it had turned back to the Divine Realm. To celebrate the hunters' success in hunting Fatalis and preventing Alatreon from landing on the New World, the veterans of the First Fleet decided to hold a long-awaited banquet in the Gathering Hub.

After all, they have now established a firm foothold in the New World.

This banquet was attended not only by the hunters who participated in the battle against the Fatalis, but also by many hunters who rushed back from the Seliana Gathering Place. After all, although they did not participate in the battle, they were very interested in the guy who was very close to their beloved Azure Star.

In front of a wooden barrel in the gathering area, Zhou Si and a strong hunter who had rushed back from the Moonlit Gathering were leaning against the barrel, which was being used as a table, their hands clasped together, ready to arm wrestle.

The burly man, whose physique was even more exaggerated than that of the commander, gave Zhou Si a friendly look.

"Zhou Si, is it? Let me test your mettle. If you can't even defeat me, then give up on your ambitions for Azure Star!"

Looking at the crowd around him that had inexplicably ignited, Zhou Si was momentarily at a loss for words, unsure where to begin his rant.

"The New World Expedition Arm Wrestling Contest begins now!!!"

Incidentally, this competition has been held for 135 sessions so far. The champion of the previous 134 sessions was Azure Star, and the one in front of Zhou Si is the latest champion.

Because the organizers of the previous competition had some financial problems, the prize for first place—a voucher to order an Old World-style feast from Chef Cat—was cancelled.

Therefore, Azure Star chose to withdraw from the competition.

After the match ended in 3 seconds, Zhou Si was somewhat bewildered as the burly man pulled him into his arms, his thick hands patting his shoulders repeatedly.

"As expected of the guy that Azure Star has taken a liking to, he is indeed no ordinary person."

"As the champion of this arm wrestling competition, these two hot spring tickets to Yuyun Village are yours."

So Zhou Si, looking bewildered and holding the hot spring ticket, became a photograph that was hung on the memorial wall in the assembly area.

"what happened to you?"

After the crowd dispersed, the little mute boy came over with a plate of roasted meat, looking at Zhou Si with some curiosity.

"I suspect I've been set up, but I have no proof."

Zhou Si fell into deep thought. He now had four hot spring tickets: one reserved by Lao Niao and one for himself.

What should we do with the remaining two?

Thinking this, he turned his gaze to the little mute boy who was eating roasted meat.

Are you interested in the hot springs of Yukumo Village?

"Jieyun Village? I've heard it's quite famous."

After thinking for a moment, Azure Star nodded. Jieyun Village was a famous tourist attraction, and even though she had heard of its reputation before, she was still quite interested.

"Then this is for you."

Zhou Si handed a hot spring ticket to Azure Star.

Azure Star took the ticket Zhou Si handed over and recognized it as the hot spring ticket for Jieyun Village, along with the one Zhou Si had in his hand.

A blush instantly rose to the little mute girl's cheeks. She glanced at Zhou Si's face, then immediately looked away when their eyes met. She shrank back and stammered.

"Are you inviting me to visit Jieyun Village?"

Zhou Si looked at the blue star in front of her, which looked like a quail, and suddenly laughed. She didn't expect the little mute to be so interesting.

"Yes, do you want to come along?"

Azure Star was about to agree, but the next moment she lowered her head in disappointment.

"I have to stay here in the New World, so I can't go with you."

Azure Star was visibly depressed. This was the first time a friend had invited her out, but she had to decline because of her responsibilities.

"Ahem, Rhodes Island and the Hunter's Guild have recently reached a new cooperation agreement, and the Hunter's Guild has received a batch of near-ground aircraft."

The Commander-in-Chief strolled over here as if he had timed it perfectly. After coughing twice, he announced some good news, and to make sure that Azure Star didn't understand, he added something.

"Although the carrying capacity of these aircraft is far less than that of the guild's ships, their strength lies in their speed. According to our tests, it only takes less than a day to fly from the Old World to the New World."

The hunters in the survey team did have holidays, but unfortunately, the distance between the New World and the Old World was too far, and apart from the regular transport teams, they rarely had the opportunity to return to the Old World.

Even if they had the opportunity, most of them would not be willing to go back because it would take too much time to travel back and forth.

After all, they had dedicated most of their lives to this new continent.

But things are different now. With these aircraft, they can use their holidays to go back and visit their families.

Of course, going back to the Old World for a date is also an option.

The Commander-in-Chief looked at the two young men with a smile, especially Azure Star.

He's practically watched this child grow up.

From his naive appearance when he first picked up a weapon to his current status as a master hunter, the Commander-in-Chief has come to regard Azure Star as his own child.

The sudden good news clearly stunned Azure Star. After a while, she nodded excitedly and said to the Commander-in-Chief:

"Thank you!"

"No need to thank me, thank the person next to you, after all, he's the one who brought about these changes."

The commander pointed to Zhou Si, who was standing to the side looking a little embarrassed. If it weren't for him, these old friends from the New World would probably have stayed on this continent for the rest of their lives.

"Truly worthy of being called the 'Miracle Man'."

Zhou Si, who was just feeling embarrassed, froze the moment he heard that address. He was the kind of person who would deflect a weapon if someone tried to attack him at that moment.

"Haha, thank you so much for your compliment."

"Hey, you little mute girl, are you participating in a competitive eating contest downstairs? I'm actually quite interested in that contest too, let's go together!"

After saying this long string of words, Zhou Si frantically grabbed Cang Lanxing's wrist and ran towards the dining area.

The hunters in the gathering area watched the two little ones leave together, and their faces all broke into maternal smiles.

————————————————————

Thus, the matter of the Forbidden Land and the New World came to a temporary end.

Throughout the entire event, aside from Safi'jiiva and Frostsaber, virtually no one else was harmed...

Well, there are still some. Does anyone remember a few unlucky guys who were locked in the warehouse on Twilight Street? Hopefully, they're not dead.

Zhou Si also brought Pado and Ying back to the sealed land, and led the two impatient people to the gate of the interdimensional world.

"Brother Zhou Si, this is our parting, and I don't know when we'll meet again. Thank you so much for taking care of me during this time. You are truly indebted to me, Padova Philis..."

"Stop, stop, don't do this. I need to help the kids move in a while."

Zhou Si made a stop gesture, and Pado obediently closed her mouth.

"You should think carefully about what I told you before. Although Dr. Möbius has a bad reputation, he is still a pretty good person."

Sakura nodded. How could she not know how bad Möbius's reputation was? But this matter concerned Rin's safety, so she needed to consider it carefully.

"Oh, right, Brother Zhou Si, Sister Aponia asked us to pass on a message to you."

Standing in front of the interdimensional gate, Pado finally remembered why she went to the grove to find Zhou Si. It was because of this one sentence that she came to this world.

"What?"

“I didn’t quite understand what Sister Abedia said, but she said you would definitely understand.”

"The fate of that man who has lost his homeland will be changed because of you; your decision may give him a completely different ending."

Pado mimicked Aponia's tone, and after a moment's thought, Zhou Si realized who the person who had lost their homeland was referring to.

"I understand."

"Then we'll be leaving now."

Pado said something cautiously, and Zhou Si waved to her.

"Remember to say hello to Aponia for me."

"Okay, Brother Zhou Si."

After witnessing Pado and Sakura step into the interdimensional gate, Zhou Si immediately went to the training ground near the Sand Plains base camp, where a masked guy was sitting in front of the training ground.

This person was none other than Qianjie, who had returned to the desert base camp with the hunters.

Because there was almost no work for Qianjie to do at the main camp, Lord Fabius made him the god in charge of the training ground gates of the Tianqian Sand Plain.

"Qianjie, how have you been lately?"
