90. Launch

"Don't panic, I'm here." Li Yi stood straight in the violent tremors, as if he was nailed to the ground, which made Mani feel a lot more relieved.

The volcano began to tremble, like an old man suffering from asthma, gasping loudly to spit out the discomfort in his throat, the cracking of the underground rock layer caused the magma to penetrate all at once, but the rock layer would not always remain in such a state of cracking, the moment they closed in the shaking - hundreds of volcanoes erupted at the same time, burning the Donok city-state into a sea of fire, a large amount of volcanic ash would pour down, burying the ancient city-state, the explorers would escape from the ascension under the protection of the spirit, and the ordinary city-state residents would surely die in smoke and flames.

"When those rock formations close and magma erupts, it's too late!" Li Yi calculated the timing and ordered: "Launch!" ”

Felder slapped the tail of the gun with his strong arm, and ignited the fuse, "Tom! "A heavy explosion sounded, and a shell shot into the sky! And then another. The brutal explosion of the cannonballs and the violent shaking of the earth excited Felder, who loved everything devastating.

The magma in the volcano boiled more than once, especially violently during the earthquake, roaring and exuding their heat, a large amount of hot gas rose into the sky, forming a large number of clouds, Li Yi's special cannonball placed a lot of ice crystal powder, when the cannonball exploded in the clouds, those powders quickly spread into the clouds, forming a strong cooling, rich clouds, water vapor, and the low temperature climate in autumn, under the induction of ice spirit crystals, a catastrophic hail was formed! Each of these hailstones is the size of a fist, if in normal times, it will definitely smash farmland, destroy houses, harm people and animals, but now it has become a savior of earthquakes, dense hail falls in the volcano, there is a crackling sound, a large amount of water vapor evaporates, rises to the sky condenses into hail and falls again, the magma cools down in the process, and even solidifies into hard stones, and the cracks in the underground rock formation, the earthquake gradually stops!

Seeing the strange scene in front of her, Mani's eyes widened, and she couldn't help but exclaim, "What is this? "In the distance, countless white hailstones fell into the volcanic group, and the crater was filled with steam, like a dream.

"It's science." Li Yi explained.

"What is science?" Mani was intrigued by this new term, and that if science could create such a great landscape, it must be a great thing.

"Science is the knowledge of ordinary people, the knowledge of explorers is the knowledge of spiritual power, and the knowledge of ordinary people is the knowledge of nature, physics, chemistry and biology, ordinary and magical, I lived in Mies, and I was exposed to a lot when I was not an explorer." Li Yi explained that it was time for him to leave, using the knowledge that was dusted in the library and no one cared about to stop the earthquake and the eruption.

Suddenly, a terrible coercion appeared over them! The huge cyclone pressure pressed down from above, and Li Yi's face changed greatly, he was a gold-level ethereal! The mastermind behind this catastrophe has discovered him! Find his exact location, and then make a successful raid.

"Boom!" The gold-level ethereal spirit instantly shot in front of him, this huge dark red flying snake body is more than twenty meters long, two pairs of diamond-shaped bone wings stretched out to simply cover the sky, the snake's head is covered with pure white bones with dense black lines, and there is a young man standing on it, looking like he is in his early twenties, with long black hair straight and shiny, like iron wire, the reflection of the glasses makes Li Yi unable to see his face clearly, this person behaves with orthodox and even somewhat old-fashioned etiquette, wearing a well-cut evening dress, and a moss rose pinned to his chest.

"Mani, get out of here! I'm here to stop this enemy! Li Yi could hardly raise any thoughts of resistance under the terrifying spirit of this gold-level bone-winged flying snake, even if the gold-level fire demon before could only flee in front of this flying snake, and he could tear it to pieces with a single look.

"Careless, I should have left after the cannon, damn it, what was going on in my head, I was going to brag to Mani here and show off those boring things!" Li Yi felt that he was suddenly stupid, and now he was about to bury himself, but if he wanted to get his life, the other party would have to pay a heavy price.

"Brother?" Mani suddenly looked at the young man above in confusion and said, "Why are you here?" ”

"I met you here, Mani, didn't Grandpa send you back to the academy? Did you elope with this kid? The young man also looked a little surprised, he stepped on the snake's head, and the bone-winged flying snake immediately put away its coercion, lowered its head, and let him walk in front of Li Yi.

"He, he's your brother?!" Li Yi was taken aback, this great conspirator who had been planning here for ten years in order to obtain the ice treasure suppressed in the volcano was actually her brother! It's incredible, it's like a joke, but since Mani has a grandfather who is a red-level explorer, it's not unusual to have such an older brother.

"Well, he's my own brother Alan, and we're both side branches of the Kent family, and my brother is the first day of the family!" Mani took Li Yi's hand and walked up to the young man.

"Oh, that's true, hehe, I didn't expect you to find a little lover not long after you left grandpa!" Alan looked at Li Yi with satisfaction, pushed his glasses, and continued: "It is indeed an excellent young man, who almost stopped my plan, but despite your obstacles, I still got the Frost Pupil of Perrias, this artifact has been frozen in the volcanic lake for ten thousand years, if it weren't for the earthquake, it would be impossible to crack the ice and be obtained by me." From behind him came a snowman covered in thick ice armor, and it turned out to be a gold-level spirit that was not inferior to the Bone-winged Flying Snake! The strong snowman held an eyeball in his hand that seemed to be carved from ice, and those ancient patterns and symbols were very similar to Li Yi's Achilles Insight Pupil, and the rich white frost spread all the way to the ground, exuding an icy chill.

"Ahh Brother, why do you say that? We, we're just ordinary friends," Mani said, his face flushed and his voice was too low to be heard.

"You must have caused him a lot of trouble, love will blind people's perception and judgment, especially with such a hazy good feeling, his plans will also be affected by you and go wrong, by the way, boy, you haven't introduced yourself yet." Alan looked at Li Yi, he was very satisfied with this brother-in-law, although he looked too young, but his wisdom was no less than him, he could see through his plan, silently find out his details, and then another low-cost and effective way to snipe his plan, and almost succeeded, if it weren't for his strength being too weak, Perrias Frost Pupil should belong to him, and he was glad that this boy was a friend and not an enemy.

"If it weren't for my sister, you and I would definitely only have survived, but since we are related, we have a lot in common." Alan whispered in Li Yi's ear, and then the two cunning foxes laughed at the same time.

"I'm Li Yi, Mani, she is very important to me." Li Yi nodded and said firmly: "That's it, I don't know why, but if anyone wants to hurt her, I will make those people and organizations regret living in this world." ”

"Very good, maybe we will cooperate in the future, our branch is also under a lot of pressure in the family, it will be much better if you join, provided that you have the strength comparable to mine, but don't worry, you are the best young man I have ever seen, it's just that you are too young and need time to accumulate, when you stand in my perspective, you will understand this continent, all kinds of interests are involved, only the fierce interception can be rewarded, my words are here." Alan put a slender hand on his shoulder.

"Then Mani, we say goodbye, and with your brother's protection, I am also relieved." Li Yi walked up to her and grabbed her hand, "I'm leaving, don't worry about me." ”

"Uh-huh." Mani's eyes were red again, and she almost burst into tears.

"Men will be lonely before they have strong strength, they can't have too much concern, don't be sad, grandpa will peel my skin if he knows that you cry, of course, this bastard named Li Yi who deceived you will also be pulled out and killed by grandpa, haha!" Alan smiled and jumped on the head of the flying snake, "Sister, I'll let the old butler Celestino accompany you back, go first!" ”

Li Yi left the Donok city-state, ended his half-month journey here, and also said goodbye to Mani, returning to a lonely person, as Alan said, men will live alone before they are strong, fighting with beasts in the wilderness, experiencing cold and heat, until they have the power to establish order. He set out on another journey to find such a power.

Swordfish-shaped yachts sail on the surface of the river, with a white splash at the tail, the river is muddy in late autumn, some dead branches and fallen leaves float in it, the shore is exposed with large redwood roots, and some black-brown algae hide the black back of the crucian carp.

The yacht was painted pure white by Li Yi in a dockyard, which was purely his personal preference. He originally wanted to take on a mission to kill gold-level spirits in the Fire Demon Club, but after Allen learned about his sister's treatment in the club hall, he decided to kill all the explorers of the entire city-state, so Li Yi left early to prevent being affected.

"Alas, it's all your own fault, sometimes the silence that tolerates evil deeds is a sin, and if you are guilty, you have to accept punishment, and the degree of this punishment is completely in the hands of the strong," Li Yi commented on Allen's behavior of avenging Mani, he sat in the bow of the boat, with a cup of coffee, dessert and a map in front of him, "Then I will go south, through the Toronto Mountains, and arrive at the city-state of Epirus, which is a medium-sized city-state, a gathering place for explorers on the mainland, where many middle- and low-level explorers exchange treasures, and the daily night market is very lively, At the same time, it is also famous for being a medium-sized institution, and those young explorers who have failed in top institutions such as Sky Academy will come here, which is a good place. ”

The ship sailed for two days, and the Acropolis of Epirus was also in sight, the city-states built by the river have water ports, and it is no exception, Li Yi parked the boat on the shore and entered the city directly, Alger's breakthrough is imminent, and an opportunity is needed, the danger of assassinating a gold-level spirit is great, and there are many benefits.

"Hey, you're going to the peak of the green level, are you going to assassinate the red level spirit?" Felder suddenly asked Alger strangely, "Isn't that just looking for death?" ”

"Of course not, it is appropriate to assassinate the mid-level gold level with the peak of the green level, and this time to break through the blue level, you only need to find a low-level gold level to kill, and you don't need to eat metal and stones." Alger said seriously.

"Don't talk about metal and stone!" Felder, who was gnawing on the dried meat of the fire demon, stiffened.

There are mostly ordinary people coming and going on the street, they seem to have seen too many explorers, so they are not afraid, and the explorers are not murderous, and they will still maintain a certain etiquette in public, but it is obvious that they are not bound by any law, and there are two explorers who have quarrels in front of them, and the fluctuation of spiritual power has taken Li Yi five hundred meters away by surprise.

"The weaker the explorer, the more he likes to show off his strength, it's really naΓ―ve, let others see the strength at a glance, and he won't know how to die in the future." Li Yi sneered, he didn't have the habit of watching the excitement, and he sensed from a distance that it was a few blue-level spirits fighting, so he changed his way and left.

Finding an ordinary city-state resident, Li Yi threw him a silver coin, "Take me to the biggest club or union in the city-state, and I'll give you a gold one when I get there." ”

"Okay! Thank you! "The man was a small craftsman in the city-state, and his monthly income was only a few silver coins, and one gold coin was enough for him to suffer for a year.

The weather in autumn is changeable, and here it is the south, the sun is a little dazzling, and the streets are lined with white gray houses, and the new white ash covers the old washing, which looks very beautiful.

Passing through several such streets, a huge building covering an area of thousands of square meters appeared in front of him, "Valentino Academy Affiliated Union", Li Yi squinted his eyes and looked at the sign hanging on this temple-like building for a while, and then gave the leader a gold coin as promised.

He walked into the gray marble building, walked through the tall carved stone pillars, and came to the front desk to look through their task board, the union was run by Valentino College, the largest secondary school in the city, and such a small force was nothing in the Red Rock City-State, but it was the local leader here.

The clerk looked at the newspaper to himself, and the explorer in front of him looked to be no more than twelve or thirteen years old, presumably a local student, who could only take on some light and simple tasks, or simply cope with the academy's exams.

"I'm going to take this gold-level mission, serial number 225000." Li Yi skillfully took out a pencil and note, wrote down the number, and then said, "Give me more detailed information." ”

"What?!" The clerk bit his tongue, "What did you say?" Sorry, I think I misheard. He began to doubt his ears.

"You heard me right, I'm going to take on this gold-level mission numbered 225000, can't I? If it doesn't work, then I'll change it. Li Yi said with a frown.

"Oh my God, you're not going crazy, are you? You're still a kid, I can't let you go on an adventure like that! ”

"I'm Diamante Dis from Sky Academy." After thinking about it, Li Yi still decided to move this 'old friend' out.

"Oh, it turned out to be a top student of Sky Academy, it's amazing." The clerk shrugged his shoulders and said that it was unbelievable that the top students of the Sky Academy were so powerful that they were sure to complete the gold-level task, and they were from a big city-state, which was extraordinary.

"Thank you." Li Yi took the information, received a number plate, left the union, and found a famous local restaurant, enjoyed his lunch, and studied the content of the information by the way.
