Du Ruo nodded: "Let's go together then, as long as we get back before dark."

A few people did it as soon as they said it.

They immediately left the town and headed deep into the jungle.

During the journey, Fan Xiao took a moment to check the props he had inherited.

Of the five players in the second generation, he killed two of them.

I have to say, these second-generation rich kids are seriously damn rich!

He never imagined that defeating a novice E-level player in an E-level dungeon would yield D-level items.

Yes, Fan Xiao inherited a D-grade item.

The other item is an E-rank item, a rather useless cleaning tool, probably used by the second generation to tidy up their appearance after meals.

Fan Xiao suspected that this second-generation heir also possessed D-level items, but he simply hadn't inherited them.

After discarding the useless E-grade items to the game's recycling system, Fan Xiao focused on examining the information of the D-grade items.

[Rank D Item - Mask of the Superior]

Rumor has it that there's a very capable boss in Carl City, with an imposing face that commands respect even without anger. Meeting his gaze, every employee feels immense pressure, as if their bodies are about to collapse under his weight. They no longer dare to reveal even the slightest thought of slacking off or demanding a raise. This pressure isn't just psychological, but also physical.

[Note 1: The person wearing the mask can generate a gravity circle with a radius of 10 meters centered on themselves. The closer to the center of the circle, the stronger the gravity.]

[Note 2: You can freely choose whether or not objects are affected by the gravitational field.]

[Attention player "Seal": The D-rank item "Mask of the Overlord" and the D-rank item "Dustless Shield" are compatible. You can consume 10000 game coins to fuse the two items into one.]

[Is it integrated? 】

This... is an unexpected surprise.

Fan Xiao chose integration.

New D-rank items were quickly created.

The mask disappeared, but the necklace remained.

It seems that this fusion is based on the "Dustless Shield".

Fan Xiao looked at the item description and found that the "Dustless Shield" had the added function of flexibly manipulating repulsive force within a radius of 5 meters.

In other words, he can arbitrarily generate a repulsive barrier at any location within a 5-meter radius.

Instead of simply covering itself or forming a shield in front of its palm.

At the same time, the intensity of the repulsive force also increased by about 50%.

Moreover, when using props, the force can be completely controlled by oneself.

You can turn it to the highest setting at once and deflect the cannonballs.

It can also be set to the weakest setting to bully mosquitoes.

There is also an even more crucial feature: "Dust-Free Shield".

Fan Xiao murmured.

The next second, an upward repulsive force was generated beneath his body, causing him to float into the air.

Then a forward repulsive force was generated behind me, causing me, who was floating in the air, to start moving forward.

The flight is complete.

Seeing this, Lu Xining and her sister, who were walking next to Fan Xiao, both cast puzzled glances at her.

They watched as Fan Xiao flew up and down, then flew forward and backward, and then moved forward in the air in a reclining position... having a great time.

Lu Xining couldn't help but ask, "Are you showing off that you can fly?"

Lu Baizhi was also somewhat puzzled.

They already knew about Fan Xiao's ability to fly.

Is it a little too late to show off now?

"This flight is not that flight."

Fan Xiao replied mysteriously.

He then stopped testing the new function of the prop.

The scent of wild animals wafts from ahead.

We've arrived at the place where the monsters are swarming.

Du Ruo, who was walking at the front of the group, raised his longbow: "Everyone be on high alert. We're here to annoy the island god. It would be a laughing stock if we got stuck here."

After giving the reminder, he glanced at Wu Yanqing beside him.

After hesitating for a moment, Du Ruo patted her shoulder and said, "Let it all out."

……

Over the next two days, Fan Xiao and his men slaughtered all the monsters on the island.

Even if some escaped, they would probably only be a few scattered individuals, which wouldn't be of much use to the guards.

The island god noticed their actions and became angry several times.

The town trembled several more times as a result, startling many ticket holders.

Du Ruo had actually worried that offending the island god so vehemently might have negative consequences.

After all, he was going to use the ocean to relocate all the islanders.

Once the dungeon ends and the Island God is no longer restricted in his attacks, there's no guarantee he won't chase after him and kill him.

The rescue plan would then have to be declared a failure.

Not only will they fail to save the islanders, but the islanders will also be crushed into dust by the angry island god.

However, Fan Xiao assured Du Ruo that he could resolve the island god's pursuit problem.

Seeing Fan Xiao's confidence, Du Ruo had no choice but to follow his advice and, on the third day of the dungeon, moved all the remaining islanders in the town to the edge of the island ahead of schedule.

The sea breeze brushed my face, and a salty, fishy smell filled my nostrils.

Du Ruo looked at Fan Xiao, who was standing on the beach gazing at the sea, and couldn't help but ask, "There are only 5 minutes left in the instance. Are you sure you really have a way to stop the angry island god?"

"I also want to know."

Standing next to Fan Xiao, Lu Xining said, "You've been keeping us in suspense for too long, you've really whetted our appetites. Now that the dungeon is about to end, don't mind satisfying our curiosity, okay?"

"The answer lies in the details. I've already revealed it. Can't you use your brains and think about it yourselves?"

Fan Xiao turned his gaze away from the sea and looked at the crowd.

He didn't explain directly, but instead showed a train ticket in his hand.

——Starry Memories Corridor Station·Sacrifice Island.

"So that's it..."

The moment Lu Xining saw the train ticket, she immediately understood.

Du Ruo is the same.

Both of them breathed a sigh of relief, as if a weight had been lifted from their hearts.

Lu Baizhi and Wu Yanqing thought about it for a while and quickly understood.

Fan Xiao's method was very simple—after the instance closed and Du Ruo left with his people, he would immediately use the ticket. At that time, the instance would reopen, and the Island God, as the instance BOSS, would definitely have to stay in that underground space, and his actions would be restricted.

The train ticket to the Sacrifice Island saved everyone on the island... There's a sense of irony about that.

“Using tickets is indeed a good idea, but…”

Du Ruo reminded, "The dungeon will only truly open when a certain number of players have gathered. Using your ticket doesn't mean the dungeon will open immediately. You'll have to wait for a while until all the other ticket holders arrive. Will the Island God intervene during this time?"

"They must also be restricted."

Fan Xiao said, "For example... let me give you an example. Let's say I'm a B-level cannibal player who controls an E-level dungeon. Before the dungeon is fully open, I rely on my strength to block the entrance. If an E-level player comes to participate in the game, I eat one E-level player. If two come, I eat both. I eat gods and Buddhas alike... Do you think that would work?"

“Definitely not,” Lu Xining judged. “Such a disruption to the balance would definitely lead to restrictions in the evolution game, otherwise even E-level players wouldn’t be able to play.”

“That’s right,” Fan Xiao said with a smile, “the logic is that simple.”

Five minutes passed quickly during the conversation.

The E-rank dungeon "Sacrifice Island" has ended.

[Player "Seal" Dungeon Rating: A]

[Player's "Puppet" Dungeon Rating: B]

[Player "Dongfang Zhizi" Dungeon Rating: C]

[Player "Rabbit" Dungeon Rating: C...]

……

A long string of data is displayed on the player panel.

However, none of them paid any attention to it, as their minds were focused on the important matter at hand.

"I go first."

Du Ruo leaped forward and jumped into the sea, landing on a giant, overturned turtle shell.

Inside the turtle shell, all the islanders had gathered; there were only about seventy people.

Or rather, only a little over seventy people remain.

The turtle shell is Du Ruo's defensive item, grade D. Its function is similar to the "Siege" used by the second player, but it seems to be able to change size and become transparent at will.

No wonder he was unwilling to reveal the specifics of the props before.

A turtle shell... that does indeed damage one's image.

No one knows what method Du Ruo used, but the giant tortoise shell moved on its own without any wind, carrying the islanders quickly away from the boundary of the sacrificial island.

Suddenly, the ground on the island trembled.

Fan Xiao heard a familiar roar coming from the center of the island.

It is the island god.

Without hesitation, Fan Xiao used the train ticket before returning to Earth.

"See you."

At the same time, Lu Xining's voice came through.

Fan Xiao looked over and saw that Lu Xining and her sister, along with Wu Yanqing, had disappeared.

The fluctuations in space and time quickly subsided.

The tremors of the island also subsided.

The island god, as the dungeon boss, has once again had its movement range restricted.

The crisis was suppressed before it even erupted.

On the other side, the tortoise shell crossed the boundary of the sacrificial island, mustered all its strength, and rushed towards the boundless ocean.

Standing at the very front of the tortoise shell, Du Ruo glanced at the island behind her and breathed a sigh of relief.

The islanders gathered behind him also relaxed their tense nerves.

Many people knelt down on the spot, covering their faces and weeping bitterly.

It's unclear whether she was missing her deceased loved ones or crying tears of joy at leaving the sacrificial island.

"Xiao Yi, we...we're free..."

Li Wendong gazed at the sea, listening to the rushing water, and two streams of tears welled up in his eyes.

"free……"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi raised her head, letting the sunlight shine on her thin cheeks.

The blazing sun chased away some of the lifelessness.

Her expression brightened, her eyes lit up slightly, and she strained to look into the distance.
