Chapter 1661: Mission Accomplished, Dream Fulfilled
At that moment, the volcano quieted down again, and Demon Refining Island became safe once more. However, the pungent smell in the air lingered, and the sky remained darkened by billowing black smoke.
The ground was pitted and scarred from the explosion of rocks, dust swirling in the air, and smoke spreading everywhere. Many areas had been utterly destroyed.
Gu Fan, Lin Yue, Leng Feng, and Gu Xiaojin descended to the ground, entering a forest in search of Zhuo Hang, the Boss, and Lord Xiong.
In no time, Leng Feng spotted Zhuo Hang leaning against a large tree, his expression looking somewhat fatigued.
Around Zhuo Hang were the unconscious bodies of the Demon King and Lord Xiong. But they were still breathing, likely thanks to their immortality. They’d been drained of life energy for so many years without trouble, so what’s a little fall compared to that?
Seeing everyone was okay, Gu Fan began to worry about Lu Yi and the others. The recent volcanic eruption had such a wide impact that he wasn’t sure if they had managed to escape.
Gu Xiaojin suggested they retreat to the coastal area, reasoning that if she were Lu Yi, she would have evacuated already after such a violent volcanic eruption.
Everyone agreed with this idea, except for Gu Fan, who shook his head. He trusted Lu Yi, his comrade through countless life-and-death situations, and believed Lu Yi wouldn’t leave so easily.
Likewise, just as Gu Fan trusted Lu Yi, Lu Yi also believed that Gu Fan would undoubtedly return.
