$ 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.

Standing at the back of the crowd was 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.

The 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 well. 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 "Evolution" game. Looking at Jenny's actions, they 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 other two came to Jenny's home one after another.

On the way, some other adventurers 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 inside first, and she 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."

"Yes." Su Yu looked serious and waited 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 fire-fin 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: "Every adventurer has encountered a firefin fish? There are a lot of them!"

There were very few firefin fish yesterday, but 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 if there were no words originally, or if the words on it have weathered and disappeared after a long period of erosion.

"This is the handbook of the first generation mistress of Riyao Village. By the way, the mistress 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 a large number of firefin fish 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: "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: "Although the mistress said so, I am really worried now! So I want to hear your opinion, adventurer, what do you think should be done?"

Not only did Jenny look haggard, her voice was also 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 worry yet." Su Yu comforted: "I'm not 100% sure about this truth, and more information is needed to confirm it.

How about this, you come with me to a place in an hour, 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 guess is, as he said, that more evidence is needed to verify it.

After returning to the base, he will make his guess public to everyone, and then tell Jenny.

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

After all, this book is a book left when the village was built, and it is very valuable to study.

The book records the whole process of the villagers of Riyue Village migrating to this place, farming, 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.

Due to the cultivation of the exercises, these heroic spirits will last for hundreds of years before gradually dissipating.

The villagers' offerings and sacrifices can make the heroic spirits more and more powerful, and the heroic spirits will also bless their descendants with some benefits.

Influenced by the heroic spirits of the ancestors, each generation of mistresses can have a lifespan of up to 300 years, and at least become four rank strongman.

But the price is that the successive mistresses cannot get pregnant and cannot pass on their bloodline...

As for the "fire fin fish" issue that Su Yu is most concerned about, the book does not explain it in detail.

The book does not give any explanation on the title page, but only says that it is true, and asks future generations to run away quickly when they encounter such anomalies.

Su Yu took his guess into the whole book and carefully verified it, while continuing to look for clues in the book to put his guess to the test.

...

It took about an 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 the notes, she did not urge him, and sat beside him waiting anxiously.

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

At this time, Zhong Feng and the others must have finished their work and returned to the base.

So Su Yu closed the book, stood up and said: "Let's go, Jenny, I'll take you to where I live, and my companions are also there. I will tell you the truth when we get there."

"Okay. "Jenny couldn't wait any longer, so she stood up and followed Su Yu.

...

10 minutes later, in the living room of the base.

The base was still the same as yesterday, with a lot of food on the table, including white bread and dried meat.

The Blue Star players sat in a circle around the table and enjoyed the food on the table together.

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

This NPC didn't have any intention of eating. She didn't even look at the food on the table, but kept staring at Su Yu.

Su Yu felt a little scared by her look, so he made a "please" gesture to her and asked, "Would you like to eat something?"

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

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

But because she was full of worries, the bread had no taste recently, and it could be said to be chewing wax.

"Let's start the meeting now! "Su Yu looked at the Blue Star players present.

After scanning the circle, he set his sights 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-level magic beast.

This morning we successfully captured a 200-kilogram first-level magic beast, which the villagers called Gegeluo beast.

With this first-level magic beast, plus the collected herbs, the shell coins obtained from selling are enough to cover all the expenses of the past two days!

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

"It's good to go smoothly. "Su Yu smiled and nodded, looking at Zhong Feng: "Zhong Feng, it's your turn. How did we catch fish today? "

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

"Well, it's more in line with expectations. "Su Yu nodded.

Today, the Blue Star players took the "fire-avoiding stone" out and caught a total of 10 fire-fin fish, which significantly increased the income of this fishing.

However, Su Yu traveled for a long time and caught less than 200 kilograms of fish, which offset the income from catching fire-fin fish, so it was not much different from the plan.

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

"Oh, it's the shell coin given to us by the gods after sacrificing elemental fish." Su Yu explained, "Because it is red, we call it red shell coin to distinguish it from the currency in the village."

"Okay." Jenny nodded to show that she knew.

Su Yu continued to say to everyone, "Everyone, now I have understood the specific situation.

To be honest, 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?"

"Behind-the-scenes boss? Who is it? "

"How did you find it?"

Everyone asked excitedly.

Some people also turned their attention to Jenny beside Su Yu.

Did Mr. Ke find the behind-the-scenes boss because of this NPC?

I didn't expect that the main line of the secret realm would be on her,

Jenny was confused: "'Behind the scenes BOSS'? What do you mean by this word?"

Su Yu's mouth twitched when he heard her words.

But Su Yu still explained to her: "Behind the scenes BOSS means the mastermind behind the Sun Village becoming what it is now."

He turned his head and looked at Bing Hongcha: "Bing Hongcha, the behind the scenes BOSS you guessed last night was a huge elemental fish king born in the lake, right?"

"Yes." Bing Hongcha replied.

"This possibility has been overturned at present." Su Yu said: "Today during the day, I found that the water temperature at the bottom of the westernmost side of the lake was particularly high, basically close to 25 degrees of warm water, so I asked the boatman to drive the boat to the easternmost side of the lake.

After arriving there, I found that the seawater at the bottom of the easternmost side of the lake was also warm!

From this, it can be inferred that the water temperature at the bottom of the entire lake should have increased significantly, which is not something that only an elemental fish king can do."

"That makes sense." Bing Hongcha agreed with Su Yu's statement.

In fact, just now at the dock, Bing Hongcha found that all the fish caught by the adventurers were stained with fire elements and glowed red, and he already knew that his guess was not true.

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

Facing such a powerful existence, it is a complete joke for the adventurers to work together to kill it, which is purely a waste of food.

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

Su Yu looked at everyone and said seriously: "If I am not mistaken, the behind-the-scenes BOSS is not a creature, but... a volcano!

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

"Volcano?!"

"It's a volcano?!"

Hearing Su Yu say this, the players present were shocked.

They didn't know the information that "the large number of fire-finned 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 a viable existence.

Unexpectedly, the behind-the-scenes boss is actually a natural disaster!

After listening to Su Yu's words, Jenny's body was tense at first.

After a while, she relaxed and slumped in the chair, and her pupils completely lost focus.

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

The volcanic eruption will definitely destroy the entire village.

And it is precisely because of the volcanic eruption that strange phenomena frequently occur in the village, such as the large number of fire-finned fish with fire attributes, the warming of the lake, and the elemental fish in the lake being contaminated by the fire element...

No wonder the first generation mistress emphasized that they should quickly flee the village. The volcano is about to erupt, are you going to stay and wait for death?
