"Big brother, over there..."
As the three of them quickly ran past a small hill made entirely of discarded arcane origin stones, Xiao Xiao pointed in a direction and exclaimed.
"This..."
Ye Feng followed the direction Xiao Xiao indicated and was equally astonished.
For in the sky not far away, a large number of stones were suspended, and the multitude of suspended stones formed something like an aerial pipe, extending downwards from the floating island...
In the area formed by the suspended stones, many figures were jumping from one stone to another, landing on the floating island...
"Ye Feng, those explorers from the Adventurer's Guild just now might have come to the floating island from there!"
At this moment, Shen Yun Yao's voice rang out.
"Hey, isn't leader number 11 here yet?"
Suddenly, a somewhat unclear voice came from afar.
"Not yet. The teleportation array isn't very stable. Many brothers, including leader number 11, don't know where they were teleported to!"
A middle-aged male voice followed closely.
"Leader number 11? From Brad Base?"
Ye Feng frowned slightly, quickly moved stealthily towards the source of the sound, and Xiao Xiao and Shen Yun Yao immediately followed.
"It really is from Brad Base!"
Seeing the blood-red crescent moon emblem on the speaker's chest, Ye Feng's guess was confirmed.
"Brother Cai Ji, should we wait for leader number 11?"
A middle-aged man asked a man with a cockscomb hairstyle.
"No need to wait. More and more people are coming to the floating island, we need to find the Stone of Hope quickly!"
"Ah Bao, find a place to signal leader number 11 with a flare, the rest of you..."
The cockscomb-haired man glanced at the direction of the suspended stone passage and quickly arranged his subordinates.
"Stone of Hope?"
Hearing the cockscomb-haired man's words, Ye Feng's consciousness involuntarily swept over the altar he obtained in the forbidden area of humans within the fragment of the spatial rift, "Could there be that kind of altar here..."
"Altar... Stone of Hope... the last hope of the Angelic civilization... Angels..."
Ye Feng muttered to himself, and a thought suddenly flashed through his mind, "Could it be... Ling Xi is also looking for this Stone of Hope..."
He remembered that Ling Xi had also mentioned exploring ancient ruins before...
"Big brother, there are more and more people!"
At this moment, Xiao Xiao lowered her voice and said.
"Let's go!"
Ye Feng snapped back to reality, using the cover of various rocks and debris, and continued to advance towards the direction where the arcane energy was gathering.
...
"So many arcane origin stones, we're rich, rich! Pack them all up!"
"Boom! Clang!~"
"This looks like a white house, but the walls are gone!"
"House, my ass! This is clearly the skeleton of some kind of animal..."
"Hey, watch where you're going, you stepped on my foot..."
"You t—"
"Big brother, what's wrong? The place where the arcane energy is gathering is just ahead!"
Xiao Xiao looked at Ye Feng with some confusion.
Shen Yun Yao also wore a puzzled expression.
"Don't you think it's too clean around here... so clean as if... something has thoroughly cleaned this place!"
Ye Feng frowned, surveying the surroundings.
"Sizzle~ Sizzle!~"
At this moment, a sound of lightning came from above the heads of the three, and the entire space distorted.
The three of them looked up, and found that another small island had appeared in the sky of the floating island.
The suspended small island was, to be precise, a suspended waterfall. A large amount of mist descended from above the suspended waterfall, filling a large area in front of the three of them...
"Sizzle~ Sizzle!~"
At this moment, there was another sound of current.
Along with another spatial distortion, Ye Feng saw a small river slowly appear on the ground in front, leading to the suspended waterfall. However, the river water was flowing upwards...
And the source of the river water below... in the distorted and fluctuating space...
"Clatter~ Boom!~ Boom!~"
Under the gaze of the three, the suspended waterfall in the sky trembled, tilted, and then several treasure chests fell down.
"Brothers, there's another floating island over there!"
"What's going on? There wasn't one just now!"
"Who cares, let's go, there are treasure chests falling there!"
"Looks like there are golden treasure chests... Kill!"
...
The sound of lightning attracted the attention of many explorers. Seeing treasure chests falling from the suspended waterfall, they all rushed over shouting wildly...
Seeing this, Ye Feng signaled to the two women to retreat.
"The golden treasure chest is mine!"
"Get lost, it's mine!"
"Bang!"
...
A group of explorers shouted, pushed each other, fought for the treasure chests, and even opened fire.
"Ah!~ Ah~...~"
Suddenly, the group of explorers ran into an area below the suspended waterfall and screamed, their flesh and blood rapidly corroding...
Within a few breaths, the explorers turned into skeletons.
Due to inertia, the skeletons did not stop and continued to fly forward, falling to the ground and shattering into pieces...
"Damn... it's that white mist... the waterfall in the sky..."
Ye Feng's expression changed.
"Ye... Ye Feng, that might be... the River Styx that Father mentioned..."
At this moment, Shen Yun Yao swallowed and said.
...
