Strange Voyage: Summoning the Fourth Disaster

"Thank you for your hard work, Claymore."

"Rest on Zhuxin Island for a while. Letalee is still waiting for you in Suiyuefansen."

Roger nodded and said to Claymore.

Although he obtained a lot of information from the Black-faced Ox-horned Man and his men this time, gaining their trust was not an easy process.

Being a spy is not that easy.

"..." After hearing what Roger said, Claymore hesitated for a moment, but soon shook his head decisively: "No."

"If you leave the Fire Temple for too long, you will most likely lose the attention of Agoni."

"It's best not to arouse suspicion by doing so."

Although Claymore said this and his attitude was very firm, he still took out a letter with flowers and entrusted it to Roger, asking him to pass it on to Letalie.

Beautiful flowers...

Roger shook his head and smiled. He did not stop Claymore's decision. He just accepted the letter and prepared to give it to Letalie later.

…

Ryan's Firewood Gatherers bonfire site.

“Roar! Junior——”

"You have the blood of Asum flowing in your body... Glory has already been bestowed upon you! Do not resist! Do not refuse!!!"

"Otherwise...die!!!"

The wall tiles covered with tree roots were completely unable to withstand the roar that was sometimes sharp and sometimes hoarse. The sound was like a thorn that penetrated the soul, or like a sharp hook, bringing a severe and uncomfortable feeling of being pulled and yanked.

"Oh... um..."

"ah……"

At this time, Ryan was already lying on the ground, covering his head in pain, rolling over and over but unable to resist the impact.

“…”

Beside him, the witch's soul watched silently, with a barely perceptible trace of pity and helplessness in her eyes.

“Come on!!!”

"Kill me!!! Inherit!!!"

The mad soul in the tomb of Yasum controlled the remains, screaming and slapping the walls madly, causing the entire bonfire to fall into dust.

"No……"

"I won't... let you... erode me again..."

Ryan was trembling all over, enduring the severe pain and discomfort, and he climbed up with difficulty and came to the campfire.

"Guide... me... to... somewhere else..."

Ryan gritted his teeth and spoke his request to the bonfire witch with difficulty.

Then, the tomb and the bonfire finally fell into the long-lost silence.

It seemed that everything had calmed down.

But less than half an hour had passed.

The bonfire began to flash orange light again, and reconstructed a body.

Ryan returned to the campfire, looked around, and then frowned, as if he had forgotten something.

After pondering for a long time.

He finally seemed to remember something, his eyes lit up, and then he walked towards the direction of Yasum's tomb.

soon.

As the sound of battle rang out, the terrifying scream reappeared.

Ryan's body fell to the ground with a bang, and he began to crawl towards the campfire, seeking rescue, despite the influence of his soul's crazy screams.

The bonfire witch, who had seen this scene countless times, sighed silently.

"well……"

"Why bother..."

"The will of one person is fighting against the determination of the warriors of the entire tribe..."

"No matter how hard you struggle, the ending is always fixed."

The bonfire witch had a complicated look.

The firewood gatherers revived from the Tomb of Yasum are very special.

Compared to other weak and independent firewood gatherers, the Yasums are more like firewood gatherers as a group.

But their thoughts are not as unified as ideally desired.

Almost every Asum who became independent because of the bonfire has his own consciousness and ideas. Although most of them will choose to inherit the remains, there are also a few who will refuse like Ryan.

Over the long period of time, she had seen firewood gatherers like Ryan who tried to resist, but without exception they were swallowed up by the obsession of the tomb and became a part of it.

She tried to remind him along the way, but the ending was always the same.

Just as the mad soul said.

Every revived Yasum firewood gatherer already has the related blood flowing in his body.

Although she didn't know how long Ryan could hold out, she thought... the result would be similar.

If I had chosen to inherit from the beginning, I would have been relieved faster because of this tribe's unrealistic goals, and I would have been able to end this torture sooner...

…

at the same time.

After a fruitless search, Tianji took Palen back to Candle Island in a depressed mood and met the Candle Keeper.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

During his exploration of the sky, Rogge had long discovered that in the spiral sea-shaped area, there was actually no "Broken Core".

...This is actually not quite accurate. To be precise, there is no complete "Broken Core" in this area.

However, Rogge still gathered some power from it, which could barely be considered a 0.5 Broken Core.

...Why do I feel like playing Pinduoduo...

I better not encounter a quarter of a broken core next time.

Roger complained in his heart.

This is why this area presents such a distorted picture.

However, Rogge was generous enough to let Tianji complete the task.

And the Palen he brought back...

"Take it. It will allow you to continue traveling through the dark areas. You just need to replenish the flame fuel in time."

"But when the candle turns red, you'd better be cautious."

"I also grant you the right to rest on Zhuxin Island."

Roger handed him a special candle.

He knew something about Palen, but compared to Claymore, he didn't take him too seriously.

One reason is that there is actually no conflict between the Church of Storms and Candlewood Island, and the other reason is that it is impossible for Palen to go undercover in the Church of Storms again.

"Thank you, candle keeper, and praise the candlelight for selflessly giving me warmth..."

Despite this, Palen was also very moved. If it weren't for Tianji and Candlelight, he would have been trapped and died in that area.

And now, with the help of Lingzhu, he finally has the qualifications to continue his revenge.

Although he was clearly aware of the gap between himself and his enemy, he had no intention of giving up.

"Palen, maybe you should change your thinking." Looking at his stubborn look, Tianji couldn't help but speak.

"What do you mean?" Palen frowned and shook his head: "I will not give up revenge."

If it weren't for this belief supporting him, he would have committed suicide there long ago.

"No, I'm not asking you to give up revenge."

Tianji pinched his brows and couldn't help but feel that the character of Palen only looked smart, but actually had limited IQ.

"What I mean is, since you want to take revenge on the Storm Church, you should first distinguish who is the enemy and who is the friend..."

"Who is the enemy and who is the friend...what does that mean?" Palen was stunned. He felt that what Tianji said made sense, but he didn't quite understand it.

"...You should stay on Zhuxin Island for a while. I will explain it to you in detail."

Tianji patted his shoulder and said meaningfully.

…

Time goes by.

Compared to the leisurely upgrade process when first entering the game, players' upgrade progress has now become slower.

Part of the reason is because the upgraded wax oil consumes a lot, and another part of the reason is because of the "cost-effectiveness".

For current players, unless the ignition point is increased, the combat effectiveness increased by the wax consumed to upgrade to a higher level is far less than that increased by exchanging for some suitable skills or improving talents.

Of course, ignition point and temperature are also important, but they are given lower priority by players.

In addition, the emergence of the Candlelight Arena has made players pay more attention to improving their personal strength and building their character system.

This naturally led to a change in the focus of players.

In the past, the emphasis was on exploring dungeons and experiencing plots, but now the focus has become on researching and perfecting one's own character system, or developing a new system.

It is under such circumstances.

Lingzhu ushered in another major update.
