Bai Jin and Korola explored the island carefully according to the will of their respective adventure teams, so it was hard for them to avoid meeting each other.
Out of politeness, Ke Ruola greeted Bai Jin and asked about the situation over there.
Bai Jin told Korola what he had discovered, and Korola told Bai Jin what he had seen and heard, including that [Dragon God's Power] was seriously investigating the Goblin King's lair.
The two exchanged areas for reconnaissance, and after confirming that there was no trace of the evil dragon's offspring, they each returned to their own teams and blurted out everything they had seen and heard.
"No trace of other evil dragon offspring has been found yet, and [Dragon God's Might] has reached the same conclusion as us.
The leader of [Dragon God's Might] encountered an evil dragon offspring, but it ran away.
[Dragon God's Might] is currently investigating the Goblin King's lair. We should be able to rest assured if we let them investigate."
Listening to Bai Jin's report, Yang Yu tried to put the various pieces of rubble together like a puzzle, but in the end he still failed to piece together a complete object.
[Dragon God's Might]is not a snob.
When they went to investigate the base of [Ripple Dream], they placed most of the clues they collected in a conspicuous place, and also clearly pointed out how they investigated and talked about their follow-up plans. It can be seen that they really want to defeat the evil dragon.
[Power of the Dragon God] has a rich heritage. Even if any spoils are found, they probably won't be hidden. Instead, they will be rewarded according to merit and distributed to appease the adventurers as much as possible.
Yang Yu nodded and said to Bai Jin:
"Bai Jin, thank you for your hard work.
Just let them handle the things over there.
We still have some things to deal with, and it will probably take us until the evening.
You must be prepared to meet the [Majesty of the Dragon God] later.
I think I will have a long chat with their leader.”
Yang Yu picked out a few fragments with different texts from the pile of fragments, loaded them into the system, and stood up.
He would investigate where this special text came from and find out the origins of the island.
However, based on what he saw now, Yang Yu already had a bold guess in his heart.
—This island may be part of the village of heroes.
There were no more descendants of the evil dragon on the island, and Yang Yu organized a team to deal with the aftermath.
This expedition resulted in heavy casualties. Out of the more than 150 people who came, only less than 60 survived.
Many adventurers were reduced to ashes by the attacks of the offspring of the evil dragon, and even their bones could not be found. The survivors could only pile up earth at the place where they died, insert wooden boards, and carve words on them to show their respect.
Can find the body
Team members can choose to bury the body on the spot, burn it into ashes, or freeze the body and take it away.
If all the people in the same team died and there were no survivors who recognized them, other people would have to burn the bodies into ashes and bury them on the spot.
Except for the S-class adventure groups [Drifting on the Deserted Island] that responded to the call, all had a certain degree of casualties. They basically chose to freeze their dead companions and transport them back for burial.
Those who died in this mission included more than just members of the two S-class adventure teams, [Riptoon Dream] and [Power of the Dragon God].
A few days before [Power of the Dragon God] was dispatched, an S-class adventure group from the Republic of Terun patiently made a small hole in the barrier and sent people to the island to conduct reconnaissance, hoping to sneak away and pocket the reward for defeating the dragon for themselves.
The Goblin King took advantage of their greed and overconfidence in his own strength and sent out the "injured" descendants of the evil dragon to lure the enemy deeper step by step and kill them all.
The Goblin King leaves almost no trace when he does things, and it was the Dragon King who told Grantham the news of the disappearance of the S-class adventure group.
After a busy schedule, Yang Yu and his team finally managed to get everything done and reunited with [Power of the Dragon God] on the beach.
As the sun sets and darkness gradually covers the island, many adventurers' faces are filled with anxiety.
Even though they have confirmed that the evil dragon and its offspring are no longer on the island, they are still secretly afraid that the evil dragon and its offspring will come to the island again and catch them off guard.
The atmosphere on the beach was weird, an indescribable feeling of anxiety and suffocation that made many people have stern faces.
A few people laughed and encouraged those around them, but their optimism was not enough to dispel the depressing atmosphere.
Before officially boarding the ship, Korora used ancient light magic to illuminate the dim beach.
Captain Gransom of [Dragon God's Might] stood in front of everyone under the lights, summarized what happened that day, expressed his sorrow for the deceased, his reluctance to see the Goblin King escape, and told everyone about the dragon's compensation.
After Grantham finished his summary speech, an adventurer raised his hand and asked Grantham:
"The identity of the evil dragon is the Goblin King. I want to know whether you, the Dragon God, knew about this in advance?"
Grantham closed his eyes and thought for a while, then nodded heavily and explained:
“This is to avoid unnecessary panic.
We also overestimated our strength. We are extremely sorry. We did not mean to hide this from you.
If anyone feels cheated, please allow me to apologize and we will give you some substantial compensation individually."
The members of the expeditionary team looked at each other in bewilderment and said nothing more.
Even the [Power of the Dragon God] feels tricky. As expected, the super S-level mission of the dragon is not that easy to accomplish.
Some people wanted to complain, but because "all of us combined are no match for them", they could only bite their words and swallow them.
After the speeches, everyone started to board the ship.
[Dragon God's Power] promises to send adventurers to the nearest adventurer's guild, and after completing the task, they will be rewarded according to their work.
Yang Yu stepped forward to say hello to Grantham, and boarded the ship with his companions carrying the [Power of the Dragon God].
Lingshan wanted to catch up with Yang Yu and board the same boat with them, but was stopped by Lang Yi:
“The original five ships have been reduced to two now.
Uneven distribution of combat power will cause panic among the people on the other boat.
They probably have something important to discuss with [Dragon God’s Might].
They came here, perhaps for a reliable helper.
The best way to help them is to not disturb them.
If they think we are trustworthy, they will probably come and talk to us.”
"That's right." Lingshan stopped and walked towards a different boat from Yang Yu and the others.
After all the survivors were on board, the two ships gradually sailed away from the island.
Waiting quietly in the cabin with his companions, Yang Yu thought about how to convince the [Power of Dragon God] and make his demands clear.
Time passed minute by minute, and when the boat entered the route smoothly, the spiritual dew of [Dragon God's Power] bloomed in front of Yang Yu and the others, inviting them to the meeting room.
