Chapter 919 Sun Yao Secret Realm (18): Volcano


    The time now is seven o''clock in the evening.


    ???Except for Su Yu, all the Blue Star players have returned to the dock.


    On the pier, Zhong Feng, Yunzhong Mudi and others stood patiently, waiting for Su Yu''s return.


    Everyone was relieved when they saw the medium-sized fishing boat approaching in the distance and Su Yu standing on the bow.


    Su Yu waved to his companions on the dock to indicate that he was fine.


    And he didn’t make everyone wait any longer.


    When the fishing boat was still several meters away from the shore, he jumped directly from the bow of the boat and jumped onto the pier.


    “Mr. Ke, is everything going well today?”


    “Why are you back so late?”


    “You must have caught a lot of fish, right?”


    ??Everyone gathered around Su Yu and kept asking.


    Before Su Yu had time to answer, a cold female voice suddenly came from behind the crowd: "Adventurer, I have something to talk to you about."


    Hearing this voice, the Blue Star players were stunned and took the initiative to give up their positions.


    At the back of the crowd stood a woman wearing a white saint''s dress, it was Jenny.


    ?? Jenny was holding a thick brown hard-cover book in her arms, her face was a little pale, her blue hair was flying randomly in the wind on the pier, and she looked very haggard.


    ??Blue Star players didn''t notice her just now, but now they noticed the arrival of this special NPC.


    Su Yu walked up to Jenny and asked softly: "Jenny, do you have anything to do with me?"


    "There is something very important." Jenny hugged the big hard-cover book in her arms tighter: "Go to my house and let''s talk."


    “Okay.” Su Yu answered immediately without hesitation.


    Then he turned back to look at the Blue Star players: "Zhong Feng, I leave it to you to unload the cargo and deliver the fish to the altar. Keep the red shell coins you received carefully. We will discuss other matters in a unified manner during the meeting in the evening. "


    “Okay.” Zhong Feng replied.


    They are all players who have come out of the game "Evolution". Looking at Jenny''s actions, you know that Su Yu must have triggered the "main plot" of the secret realm.


    Looking forward to the good news Su Yu brings back.


    …


    Su Yu and the others came to Jenny’s home one after another.


    ?On the road, some other adventurers also came to chat with Jenny, trying to get benefits from her.


    ?But Jenny was so preoccupied now that she ignored them and walked straight home.


    After arriving home, she asked Su Yu to go into the house first, and carefully closed the door behind her, and stood in front of the door and waited for a while, as if she was afraid that someone would eavesdrop.


    After confirming that there were no eavesdroppers outside the door, she breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Su Yu: "Adventurer, I have something very important to do with you this time."


    “Yeah.” Su Yu looked serious, waiting for Jenny to continue.


    "Did you know?" Jenny said seriously: "The fishing process of the adventurers today was not smooth. They encountered a lot of firefin fish. Basically every adventurer will encounter one. And the elemental fish in the lake They are all corroded by the fire element, and their bodies turn red."


    Su Yu touched his chin: "Has every adventurer encountered a firefin fish? There are a lot of them!"


    ?The number of firefin fish was very small yesterday. If every adventurer encountered them today, it means there were at least 50 of them.


    I didn’t expect that the firefin fish had become so prevalent.


    “This situation has never happened before in our Riyao Village’s history.” Jenny said with a sinking face: “Today I went to the mistress’s library to look for information about the firefin fish, and finally found this.”


    ??Jenny took out the big hard-cover book that she had been holding tightly and handed it to Su Yu.


    "What is this?" Su Yu took the heavy book, with Jenny''s body temperature still on it.


    The cover of the big book is very rough, without any text.


    I don’t know whether there were no characters originally, or whether the characters on them have weathered and disappeared after a long period of erosion.


    "This is the handbook of the first generation matron of Riyao Village. By the way, the matron is now the third generation."


    “Is the book so thick?”


    “Just look at the title page.”


    "All right."


    Su Yu opened the title page of the book and saw two lines of words written on it:


    “To my children—if one day you see firefin fish appearing in large numbers in the lake, don’t even think about it and flee the village quickly!


    ??This is a sign that the village is about to be destroyed, and it cannot stop for a moment! "


    Will the village be destroyed?


    Su Yu nodded secretly, this sentence just verified his guess.


    Jenny sighed and said: "I told the mistress about this just now, but the mistress did not plan to escape with all the villagers. This is what she said..."


    Jenny closed her eyes and imitated the voice of her mistress and said slowly: "You don''t have to worry about this, the gods will solve all problems. We only need to pray to the gods devoutly, and all problems will be solved."


    She opened her eyes and looked at Su Yu: "Even though the mistress said this, I am really worried now! So I want to hear your opinion, adventurer, what do you think should be done?"


    ??Jenny not only looks very haggard, but also sounds very anxious.


    ?From her tone, Su Yu could tell that she really had no choice, so she came to find him.


    Su Yu didn''t intend to deceive her, and said seriously: "Jenny, I have actually found the answer to the truth of the matter..."


    "Oh? What is it?!" Jenny stood up from her seat and stared at Su Yu.


    “Don’t be anxious yet.” Su Yu reassured: “I’m not 100% sure about this truth, and more information is needed to confirm it.


    Well, in an hour you go with me to a place, and I will tell you everything I know there. "


    ??Jenny stared at Su Yu''s face and blinked a few times.


    Finally she sighed softly: "Okay."


    …


    …


    ??The reason why Su Yu didn''t tell Jenny about his speculation was actually, as he said, more evidence was needed to verify it.


    He will make his guess public to everyone after returning to the stronghold, and will also tell Jenny when the time comes.


    In the next hour, Su Yu carefully studied the entire notebook of the first mistress.


    This book is, after all, a book left over from the time when the village was founded, and is very valuable to study.


    The book records the entire process of the villagers of Riyao Village migrating to this place, farming and building villages, and living and working in peace and contentment.


    The so-called "gods" are actually the heroic spirits of the ancestors of all residents in the village.


    ??These heroic spirits will last for hundreds of years before gradually dissipating due to the practice of martial arts.


    ??The villagers’ offerings and sacrifices can make the heroic spirits’ divine power become stronger and stronger, and the heroic spirits will also bestow favors on their descendants. Influenced by the heroic spirits of their ancestors, each generation of matrons can live up to 300 years and become at least a fourth-level powerhouse.


    But the price is that the mistresses of the past generations are unable to conceive and pass on their own bloodline...


    As for the issue of "Firefin Fish" that Su Yu was most concerned about, the book did not explain it in detail.


    The book does not give any explanation on the title page. It just says that this is indeed the case, so that future generations must run away quickly when encountering such anomalies.


    Su Yu carefully verified his guesses throughout the book, and at the same time continued to look for clues in the book to put his guesses to the test.


    …


    It took about a full hour to study the notes.


    During this hour, Jenny wanted to ask Su Yu several times.


    ??But seeing Su Yu''s focused expression when studying his notes, she didn''t urge him and sat beside him, waiting impatiently.


    An hour later, the time came to seven o''clock in the evening.


    At this time, Zhong Feng and the others must have returned to their stronghold after finishing their work.


    ?So Su Yu closed the book, stood up and said, "Come on Jenny, I will take you to where I live. My companions are also there. I will tell the whole truth when I get there."


    “Okay.” Jenny couldn’t wait any longer, got up and followed Su Yu.


    …


    Ten minutes later, in the living room of the stronghold.


    The stronghold is still the same as yesterday. There is a lot of food on the table, including white bread and dried meat.


    Blue Star players sit in a circle around the table and enjoy the food on the table together.


    ??The only difference is that there is one more person this time, and it is an NPC.


    ??This NPC had no intention of eating. She didn''t even look at the food on the table. Instead, she kept staring at Su Yu.


    Su Yu felt a little scared when she saw her, so he made a "please" gesture to her and asked, "Would you like some?"


    ?Faced with Su Yu’s invitation, Jenny couldn’t refuse.


    ?She picked up a piece of bread, stuffed it into her mouth and ate it in small bites.


    But because she is full of thoughts, the bread has no taste at all recently. It can be said that it tastes like chewing wax.


    “Let the meeting begin now!” Su Yu looked at the Blue Star players present.


    After scanning around, he focused on Lao Li and Lao Meng: "As a hunting team, let''s talk about your results first."


    "Okay." Lao Meng said while eating: "This morning we followed the map and hunted and collected herbs in the activity area of ??the first-order Warcraft.


    ??In the morning we successfully captured a 200 kilogram first-level monster, which the villagers called the Goglomon.


    With this first-level monster and the herbs collected, the shell coins obtained from selling it are enough to cover all the expenses for these two days!


    So this afternoon, each of us rented a medium-sized fishing boat and went fishing in the lake. The whole day went very smoothly. "


    "As long as it goes well." Su Yu smiled and nodded, looking at Zhong Feng: "Zhong Feng, it''s your turn. How was our fishing harvest today?"


    Zhong Feng put down the bread in his hand and replied: "A total of 5903 red shell coins were obtained from the sacrifice, which is about the same as planned, only 153 more than planned."


    “Well, it’s more in line with expectations.” Su Yu nodded.


    Today, Blue Star players went out with the "Fire Refuge Stone" and caught a total of 10 firefin fish, which significantly increased the profits of this fishing trip.


    ??However, Su Yu traveled for a long time and caught more than 200 kilograms less fish. This was balanced with the profit from catching firefin fish, so it was not much different from the plan.


    But at this time, Jenny frowned and said: "''Red Shell Coin''? What is the ''Red Shell Coin'' you are talking about?"


    “Oh, it’s the shell coin that the gods gave us after sacrificing the elemental fish.” Su Yu explained: “Because it is red, we call it the red shell coin to distinguish it from the currency in the village.”


    “Okay.” Jenny nodded to show her understanding.


    Su Yu continued to tell everyone: "Everyone, I now understand the specific situation.


    To be honest with you, after a day of investigation, I now know who the ‘behind-the-scenes BOSS’ we discussed last night is, and I am very sure. "


    “Oh? How do you say it?”


    “The BOSS behind the scenes? Who is it?”


    “How did you find it?”


    Everyone asked questions excitedly.


    ?Some people also turned their attention to Jenny next to Su Yu.


    Is it because of this NPC that Mr. Ke found the BOSS behind the scenes?


    I didn’t expect that the main plot of the secret realm would be her.


    Jenny, however, looked confused: "''Behind-the-scenes BOSS''? What do you mean by this word?"


    Hearing her words, the corners of Su Yu''s mouth twitched.


    ?However, Su Yu still explained to her: "Behind-the-scenes BOSS means the man behind the scenes that caused Riyao Village to become what it is now."


    ?He turned to look at Iced Black Tea: "Iced Black Tea, the boss behind the scene you guessed last night was a huge elemental fish king born in the lake, right?"


    “Yes.” Iced Black Tea replied.


    "This possibility has now been overturned." Su Yu said: "During the day today, I found that the water temperature at the bottom of the lake on the westernmost side of the Great Lake was extremely high, basically close to 25 degrees warm water, so I asked the boatman to drive the boat to the Great Lake. The easternmost side.


    After I got there, I discovered that the sea water at the bottom of the lake on the easternmost side of the Great Lake is also warm!


    From this, it can be inferred that the water temperature at the bottom of the entire Great Lake should have increased significantly. This is not something that just one elemental fish king can do. "


    "It makes sense." Iced Black Tea agreed with Su Yu''s statement.


    In fact, when he was on the dock just now, Iced Black Tea noticed that all the fish caught by the adventurers were soaked in the fire element and glowed red, so he already knew that his guess was untrue.


    ??If the Elemental Fish King can make all the fish in the lake infected by the fire element, then its strength will be at least level five, and it will definitely not be lower than level five anyway.


    Facing such a powerful existence, it is a complete joke for the adventurers to work together to kill it, and it is purely a gift.


    So the BOSS behind the scenes is unlikely to be the Elemental Fish King, but something else.


    Su Yu looked at everyone and said seriously: "If my prediction is correct, the BOSS behind the scenes is not a creature, but... a volcano!


    The volcano behind the village should be about to erupt, and it is the ‘culprit’ that will cause the entire village to be destroyed, a large number of elemental fish to appear in the lake, and the temperature of the lake to rise! "


    "volcano?!"


    “It’s actually a volcano?!”


    Hearing what Su Yu said, the players present were shocked.


    They don''t know the information that "the appearance of large numbers of firefin fish is a sign of the destruction of the village", and according to everyone''s usual thinking, they generally regard the behind-the-scenes BOSS as an existence that can be defeated.


    Unexpectedly, the BOSS behind the scenes turned out to be a natural disaster!


    After hearing what Su Yu said, Jenny tensed up at first.


    ?After a while, her body relaxed and slumped down on the chair, her pupils completely losing focus.


    Thinking about it carefully, what Su Yu said seems to make sense.


    ??A volcanic eruption will definitely destroy an entire village.


    ??And it is precisely because of the volcanic eruption that strange phenomena occur frequently in the village, such as the large number of fire-attributed fire-finned fish appearing in large numbers, the lake water becoming warmer, and the elemental fish in the lake being polluted by the fire element...


    It is no wonder that the first-generation mistress emphasized that they should escape from the village as soon as possible. The volcano is about to erupt. Do you want to stay here and wait to die?
