CHAPTER 568: CHAPTER 568: BIG FISH IS COMING!

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

Accompanied by a burst of earth-shaking tremors, it was clearly felt: the volcanic island beneath their feet was sinking.

The flaming birds visible all over the floating sky were also inexplicably becoming restless.

At this moment, according to the real-time monitoring of the wristband, the temperature level of the volcanic island had already dropped by two levels.

But obviously, it was already too late.

Still trapped inside the Heavenfire Binding Array, Chen Zijin said to Zhang Yue, "Zhang Yue, don’t worry about me anymore, just go quickly, dragging another one down is not worth it."

Zhang Yue looked at the display showing the volcanic island about to drop by another level, and did not give up, instead continuing to cooperate with his pets, slaughtering the flaming birds.

Under the all-out attack mode of Zhang Yue and his pet team, his monster-killing efficiency had reached the limit.

But even so, it still wasn’t fast enough to wipe out all the flaming birds before the volcanic island completely sank.

When Zhang Yue raised his hand and unleashed a thunderous strike to annihilate the last group of flaming birds in the sky—

Wristband real-time detection: Volcanic island temperature level 0.

At this moment, the entire volcanic island’s temperature dropped, and all the raging flames around extinguished completely.

Without the flames continuously supplying energy to the Heavenfire Binding Array, the flame magic circle surrounding Chen Zijin also ceased accordingly.

Chen Zijin quickly ran out of the formation.

However, when Zhang Yue summoned the Armageddon Black Dragon and planned to leave the volcanic island together with Chen Zijin, he discovered: an invisible barrier seemed to have formed around the volcanic island, enveloping the entire area, preventing the Armageddon Black Dragon from flying through it.

But at the same time, precisely because of the existence of this barrier, the surrounding seawater couldn’t seep in.

It was both a shackle and a protection.

That’s right, the volcanic island had completely sunk to the deepest part of the seabed.

Darkness all around, a formless pressure, suffocating.

All around, a silence.

The ground no longer trembled, as if everything had returned to normal.

Fortunately, there didn’t seem to be any potential danger either.

At this moment, Zhang Yue asked Chen Zijin, "How often does the Super Volcanic Island appear?"

"About every hour," Chen Zijin said, "As long as we stay here for an hour and wait for the island to resurface, we can get out."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yue said no more and found a place to sit down.

At this time, Chen Zijin deliberately ran over and sat beside Zhang Yue, with a face full of gratitude, "You had the chance just now, why didn’t you go? After all, it was unpredictable, what if there’s something deadly down here?"

Zhang Yue glanced at Chen Zijin and said, "I have a resurrection scroll."

During the previous battle, Zhang Yue had already observed.

When Chen Zijin was trapped inside the Heavenfire Binding Array, she couldn’t perform any attack operations, but the flaming birds outside the formation could still attack her.

This was the main reason why Zhang Yue would rather sink with the volcanic island than leave any of the flaming birds alive.

At least, under the premise of being unable to eliminate other risks, he wanted to first eliminate the threat from the flaming birds.

Looking at it now, it was merely a waste of one hour.

Not a big loss.

Chen Zijin, however, was full of guilt, "Sorry, I’m wasting your time again."

Zhang Yue nodded, "That’s something you should apologize for."

Chen Zijin let out a silly laugh, then reacted, and immediately looked at Zhang Yue with a surprised expression, "Huh?"

Basically, a whole in-game day had been spent in the Twentieth Realm.

Tomorrow, they must speed up the strategy progress.

Otherwise, if they don’t reach level 500 within a year, it would be bad.

After the ordeal in the Eastern Nation, Zhang Yue felt an even stronger desire to erase this nation from the world.

They were simply a bunch of clowns lurking everywhere.

Chen Zijin sat beside Zhang Yue, looked up through the clear seawater, and gazed at the starry sky.

"Grandma said, the only one who can protect you in this world is your own strength."

"Your grandma is right," Zhang Yue looked at the Crystal Heart in Chen Zijin’s hand and said, "Don’t let down her expectations."

Chen Zijin nodded, and with a serious face said, "I will definitely work hard. One day, I will become a peerless powerhouse!"

"Speaking of which, I haven’t seen my grandma in a long time," Chen Zijin’s eyes revealed a hint of longing, "This weekend, I need to go back to my hometown to visit her."

Zhang Yue had thought that when Chen Zijin said her grandma left her the Crystal Heart, it meant she had already passed away.

Now it seemed, Zhang Yue had been presumptuous...

"Your grandma, she’s also a professional powerhouse, right?"

"Of course!", When talking about her grandma, Chen Zijin’s eyes sparkled, "My grandma is my faith, and also a powerhouse revered by thousands."

Then, Chen Zijin looked at Zhang Yue, "Come with me this weekend to visit her, okay? She’s super nice! I want her to know it was you who saved my life."

Zhang Yue said, "Forget it, I’ll pass."

"Ah, okay then..."

Just then, Zhang Yue suddenly took out a skill book from his storage space and handed it to Chen Zijin, "Right, this is for you."

Chen Zijin took it and, upon discovering it was actually an SSS-rank Unique Skill Book, was completely stunned.

That’s right, this was the reward from the earlier unique hidden quest: [Inferno · Burning Desire].

Zhang Yue said, "I don’t need it. Keeping this skill on me is a waste. You’re the perfect fit. It’ll help prevent you from getting ambushed again."

Chen Zijin declined a few times, but couldn’t resist Zhang Yue’s insistence.

In the end, she happily accepted the book.

And asked, "Zhang Yue, why are you so good to me? You know this will give me the illusion that you like me, right?"

Zhang Yue nodded, "As long as you know it’s an illusion, that’s fine."

Chen Zijin pouted, "Grandma said, only someone who likes you will be unconditionally good to you."

Zhang Yue: "Let’s be clear, my kindness has conditions."

"I want you to reach Tier 9 within three years."

Chen Zijin made an OK gesture and said confidently, "No problem!"

"But seriously, you’re so nice to me, I really feel a bit bad... Come back home with me this weekend, I’ll ask Grandma to cook for you!"

Zhang Yue hesitated for a moment, "Alright then, I’ll go."

"Really?", Chen Zijin was clearly very happy.

As for Zhang Yue, he actually wanted to see what kind of person Chen Zijin’s grandma really was.

Being able to craft a divine artifact like [Crystal Heart], Chen Zijin’s grandparents were definitely not ordinary people.

As the two were chatting, suddenly, the ground trembled again.

ROAR!

The Armageddon Black Dragon let out a loud roar, seemingly sensing danger, and hurriedly rose from beside the two.

It spread its wings, using its massive body to shield its master.

From this unprecedented reaction of the Armageddon Black Dragon, Zhang Yue deduced, "A big fish is coming."
