Terrible news! My deskmate's first chapter is gone!

"What's wrong?"

Yan Mingliang asked upon hearing the commotion, but did not turn around, as the pain of being blind was still vivid in his mind.

"The call has come again; the dragon's head is not the end."

Chen Xi did not hide anything.

"How could that be? It wasn't the Dragon God who called you?"

Yang Wei and the others were all surprised. At this point, they all thought that the call was from the Dragon God, but they didn't expect there to be another expert!

"I don't know either." Chen Xi's expression turned serious.

Things took a turn for the better than he expected.

Chen Xi was almost certain that the call that only he could hear was from the Dragon God.

As for the reason, Chen Xi still categorized it as "Dragon-shaped Armament".

Although the Dragon God did not come from the Dragon Palace, the wall of the Dragon Palace and the body of the Dragon God were remarkably similar, which forced Chen Xi to connect the two.

This means that the Dragon God and the Dragon Palace are connected, and that his "dragon-shaped weapon" comes from the Dragon Palace.

That's how the term "compatriot" came about.

But unexpectedly, this almost certain guess has been ruthlessly shattered!

Let's go take a look.

Chen Xi said in a deep voice. At this distance, he had a rough idea of ​​where the sound came from.

Whoosh!

The sound of four swords cutting through the air swept across the Dragon God Mountain Range.

Soon, the four of them arrived at the location that Chen Xi had determined after much deliberation.

It was a waterfall, several hundred meters wide and nearly a hundred meters high, located at the very back of the Dragon God Mountain Range, with a normal, transparent flow of water.

However, due to its thickness, the view behind it is completely obscured.

The waterfall was quite conspicuous; the four of them had spotted it long ago, but their attention was focused on the dragon god's body, and they didn't pay much attention to it, viewing it purely as a scenic view.

As for the source and direction of the water, on the one hand, people didn't care, and on the other hand, it was covered by the gray fog, making it difficult to find its source.

"Is this the real end?"

After looking around, Yan Mingliang found that apart from the waterfall, there was nothing else that could be considered a landmark.

"No." Chen Xi finished speaking and pointed to the waterfall in front of her, "Behind us!"

"That sound must be coming from behind the waterfall."

After Chen Xi finished speaking, he plunged into the waterfall without much hesitation.

Seeing this, the three nodded and rushed in as well.

The four were instantly submerged in the waterfall, but fortunately they were close enough to barely see each other.

Normal water temperature, normal flow rate, everything seemed so ordinary.

It was so ordinary that Chen Xi wondered if she had gone to the wrong place.

The only unique feature here is its thickness; normal waterfalls are never this thick.

But now that we've come this far, how can anything be considered normal?

Abnormality is the greatest normality!

"100 meters..."

Chen Xi meticulously calculated the thickness of the waterfall step by step; this was his habit, regardless of whether it was useful or not.

The thickness is about the same as the height of the waterfall, but it is completely invisible because it is covered by the mountains on both sides.

The view behind the waterfall is not a huge rock wall, nor some mysterious record, but a honeycomb of countless openings.

Each opening is approximately 3 to 10 meters in diameter.

Without much thought, Chen Xi chose a cave entrance and went inside, and the others naturally followed.

"Boss, did you hear that calling voice again?"

Yang Wei asked curiously, "Judging from the situation along the way, although the frequency of that call was inconsistent, it never seemed to be so short."

"No, my intuition tells me I should keep walking," Chen Xi said calmly.

intuition?

Yan Mingliang's face showed a hint of surprise, but he didn't say anything.

He had known Chen Xi the longest and knew that the other party was a very rational person. He had never seen Chen Xi rely on intuition when making decisions.

As time went by, they gradually learned about the terrain.

Simply put, it's a tree-branch terrain; all that's in front of you are a series of similar-looking forks in the road.

It's not just a simple left-right choice; it involves constant twists and turns. It's fine at first, but after a while, you can't remember anything anymore.

Fortunately, Chen Xi has hyperthymesia, so she can regress no matter what.

As they walked, they lost track of time and the number of turns they took until they came to a dead end.

In front of them was a skeleton of a snake-man, about two meters tall. Judging from its shape, it was definitely the kind where the person was on top and the snake was on the bottom. Behind it was a blocked road.

"Is this the end of that calling voice?"

Yan Mingliang said uncertainly.

As for skeletons, there are still some in the Dragon God Mountains, and most of them are not human-shaped, so people are not surprised by them.

"I don't know either," Chen Xi replied uncertainly.

After passing the waterfall, he inexplicably gained a sense of direction and felt that he should go this way.

He has indeed arrived at the place his intuition pointed him to.

But what the hell is a snake-man?

Chen Xi had never met a snake person before, so how could the other party call him a compatriot?

Could that intuition be a trap?

Just as Chen Xi was wondering.

The three calls resounded once more.

here~

I'm here~

My fellow countrymen, I'm here~

This is it!

Countless thoughts flashed through Chen Xi's eyes, finally settling on a resolute expression.

"I'll go up and take a look. You all stay put and wait." Chen Xi said and walked straight up.

Taking small steps, one or two at a time, without anything unusual happening, Chen Xi walked safely to the snake-man skeleton.

With nine parts doubt, Chen Xi reached out and touched the skeleton.

At that very moment, a golden light appeared out of thin air in front of the skeleton, where the heart should have been, which was originally empty inside.

The golden light instantly filled the entire tunnel and was extremely dazzling, causing Yang Wei and the author to exclaim "Holy crap!" repeatedly.

Although Yan Mingliang didn't swear, he was still blinded by the light.

Only Chen Xi remained expressionless, because he felt no glare whatsoever; in fact, he felt his vision was even better, like turning on a light in a dimly lit room.

A few seconds later, Chen Xi's eyes narrowed sharply as if she had seen something unbelievable!

At the location of the snake-man skeleton's heart, a ball of golden light, resembling a flame, was gradually taking shape in a certain direction.

Shaped into a rectangular card...

This shape, this size...

ID card!

This is!!!

As Chen Xi was greatly alarmed, a number appeared on the card, which was not yet fully formed.

zero!

......

"what!"

Lin Fan, who was leading the team, suddenly stopped, covered his head, and let out a wail.

"What's wrong, Lin Fan?"

Wang Qingqing asked with concern.

Lin Fan didn't answer, but instead repeated a single word while holding his head in his hands:

"It's so hot!"

Wang Qingqing didn't know what was going on, but fortunately she was very efficient.

Without saying a word, he used the Wild Card to summon a bucket of ice water and then threw Lin Fan in.

But the situation didn't change at all; Lin Fan was still holding his head and complaining that it was burning hot.

"Is it burning that high?" Tyson Bolt exclaimed. "How hot is it?"

"This doesn't look like a fever at all," Assam replied.

The sudden change in Lin Fan's leadership left everyone somewhat bewildered, but fortunately, the situation didn't last long, and Lin Fan quickly recovered.

His breathing gradually became steady, and he stopped clutching his head and complaining of the heat.

"What happened, Lin Fan?"

"Just now you suddenly..."

Wang Qingqing hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

Lin Fan took a few deep breaths, remaining seated in the icy water without emerging or answering Wang Qingqing. Instead, he uttered a word in an incredulous tone:

"sun!"

(End of Volume 3, "The Sun".)

(You're probably wondering, isn't the third volume about the "main character"?)

(Due to my operational error, Volumes 3 and 4 have been combined. I contacted customer service and confirmed that they cannot be separated. The real Volume 3 ends at Chapter 270, which was originally titled "A Name Stronger Than Invincible." Now it has been changed to "The Protagonist." This is my habit; the last chapter of each volume is also the title of the volume. Therefore, this volume is quite long. Since it is a combined volume, those who pay attention should have noticed that the volume title has changed. I thought I would discuss it after this volume ends, so I didn't mention it.)

(Tomorrow's update is the fourth volume, which was originally supposed to be the fifth volume and is also the last volume of this book. The volume title is "Bad News! My Deskmate Died in the First Chapter." This is also the title of the final chapter of this book. Don't overthink it. There is no bad ending or abandonment. It was originally designed to be a story of over a million words.)

(Finally, these words totaled 288 characters, which I did not include in the main text.)
