As soon as this was said, everyone nearby reacted, then looked up into the sky with confusion.

Indeed, at this time, it should be daylight already, even if the current season in this world is winter.

But now, except for a trace of light on the horizon, the sky above is still completely dark.

It was truly pitch black, nothing could be seen.

"It doesn't make sense, even if the endless dust from the previous explosion covered the sky, there should still be some light, how can it be so dark?"

Chen Xianzhi frowned and said, "I have a bad feeling. If the land within a thousand miles wasn't annihilated out of thin air, perhaps the dust in the sky would be unimaginably thick."

"What would be the outcome?" Yang Yuan asked, though he had a premonition, his knowledge might not be accurate.

"Rapid cooling is certain, and next there will definitely be strong winds, even constant typhoons. This can be handled with abilities, but the dust is troublesome too. We'll definitely need masks, or ordinary people won't be able to stand it."

Chen Xianzhi said, "These are predictable, but there are many unpredictable ones too, like the previous commotion, will it attract other powerful creatures from this world? In short, we must find a way to leave here quickly."

Jia Weixin regretted, "It's a pity this ancient ruins are protected from the inside but not the outside. If we could go out freely but not come in freely, we could completely use this place as a base."

"If we could control this ancient ruins, there might be a little hope. Previously, that monster mobilized the power of the ancient ruins, even the power that could kill celestial-level creatures was defended. Obviously, the remaining power of this ancient ruins is at least celestial-level."

Chen Xianzhi sighed, "Unfortunately, there's still a monster here, and that kind of existence is something we can't deal with at the moment."

To kill the Drought Fiend, it was done with a huge explosion. With the protection of the ancient ruins' power, we managed to survive.

But to explode inside the ancient ruins, unless one wants to die too.

Moreover, that monster seems to be one with the ancient ruins, the purpose of killing the monster is also to seize the ancient ruins. If the monster is killed, the ancient ruins might be destroyed too.

What's the point?

Yang Yuan also sighed, feeling that humanity has had a rough journey since coming to this world.

I better find a way to get hold of that Spirit Monster Core from the Drought Fiend first, that thing is my biggest trophy so far and absolutely cannot have any issues.

...

At the same time.

Outside the endless chain of volcanoes.

Under the shining of the dawn from behind, Dai Changlin's team has arrived here.

The scorching high temperature burned the faces of all ten, making their expressions solemn.

Although in order to prevent battle, the emissaries selected by Earth Civilization were all superpower users who could adapt to high-temperature environments.

Among them, there were five fire superpower users, and the others also had great resistance to high temperatures.

Including Dai Changlin's thunder superpower.

Moreover, though there are portable air conditioners made by mechanicians, they can only ensure normal entry and exit here, but being uncomfortable remains.

Because the air here inherently contains toxic substances.

Fortunately, Earth Civilization considered this, so they wouldn't stumble in such a place.

But no matter how much they can adapt to the high-temperature environment, this ultimately is the territory of the Volcano Race, if a fight breaks out, it would be very disadvantageous for them.

"Captain, the people of the Volcano Race." Suddenly, an African man said solemnly.

"Hmm."

Dai Changlin nodded, he had naturally seen them long ago, at the foot of the first volcano ahead, there was already a group of volcanic people waiting there.

That group of volcanic people, regardless of gender, were all bald.

Though the women of the Volcano Race were actually quite good-looking, with great figures too.

But unfortunately, in the aesthetics of Earth Civilization, bald women are not appealing no matter how good they look.

The most important thing is that they came with a mission, this time they might die, so they have no mood to appreciate the exotic beauty.

"Now they shouldn't act, but just in case, everyone should still be careful."

Saying this, Dai Changlin took a deep breath and walked resolutely with his nine team members.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom—"

Suddenly, the volcano ahead erupted.

A large amount of lava shot into the sky, then transformed into fireworks under mysterious forces, illuminating the entire sky, as well as Dai Changlin and his people's faces.

This is the welcoming ceremony of the Volcano Race.

But this scene scared the ten people as if facing an enemy, thinking the Volcano Race was about to attack them.

Instinctively preparing for battle, they saw a large group of volcanic people approaching with smiles.

"Welcome, emissaries from Earth Civilization, to our Volcano Race as guests."

The leading person stepped a hundred meters in one stride, smiling and loudly said, "My name is Yan Bing, by order of the chieftain to welcome the emissaries from Earth Civilization."

"So strong!"

Dai Changlin looked at the person with a heavy expression, "Definitely beyond the Human Limit, likely Earth Level!"

With utmost vigilance in his heart, he struggled to remain calm but couldn't smile, for this visit to the Volcano Race, they might die at any moment.

No one can be indifferent to death, much less he.

So he responded coldly, "Dai Changlin, emissary of Earth Civilization, greeting friends from the Volcano Race."

The Volcano Race envoy felt a bit heavy-hearted, for a mere Human Limit dared to keep a cold face towards him, could Earth Civilization be much stronger than their prior investigation suggested?

Because in his view, if Earth Civilization wasn't strong enough, these weaklings when encountering him, would have to pretend enthusiasm whether they like it or not.

But he had no idea that Dai Changlin and the others were all from special forces, years of training and mechanical task execution had nearly made them forget how to laugh.

So—

Yan Bing dared not be negligent, his smile became even more cordial, "Brother Dai, please follow me."

He then looked at the nine humans behind Dai Changlin, "Nine friends, please come with me too. The chieftain is already waiting for everyone."

Dai Changlin and the others felt somewhat puzzled.

There seemed to be something amiss.

Because the upcoming situation was, they first met with the chieftain of the Volcano Race.

The chieftain of the Volcano Race warmly and courteously received them, and even directly gave them a stack of small gifts during the meeting.

The power of these small gifts included ten Spirit Marvels.

This terrified the ten people, thinking the Volcano Race intended to use Marvels to kill them outright.

Because Marvels, in Earth Civilization, are invaluable treasures.

But thankfully, they then learned that these Spirit Marvels were merely for purifying air, allowing them to carry them, purifying the toxic gases in the volcanic region, and enabling them to enter deeper into the Volcano Race to observe, without being attacked by special environments, and not limited to the peripheral areas.

Through the explanation by the Volcano Race's chieftain, these Spirit Marvels, though scarce even within the Volcano Race, are given as small gifts to any foreign visitors.

This is a meeting gift for friends, a diplomatic necessity for any special race.

The ten people finally breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

They were still uncertain what the Volcano Race's strategy actually was.
