Several hours later.

...

When Rouyi woke up, part of the main hall had already turned to dust, and most of the rest was gradually turning to ashes.

Outside the hall, corpses littered the ground. Almost everyone was dead.

"Fatty..." Rouyi asked, after waking up and witnessing the scene before her, "...what happened?"

Fatty's injuries had finally healed. His body, injured by heavy blows, had gradually been repaired, and the pain was fading.

"The lizardman is dead. We won." Fatty smiled slightly at Rouyi, the smear of dried blood on the corner of his mouth making him look very haggard.

Rouyi's broken bones had also miraculously healed and rejoined, returning to their original shape. She sat up and looked at Fatty and Lewand in front of her, and then at Dodge, who was still unconscious. She recalled the scene of fighting the lizardman before she fainted.

"Dodge saved me."

"I know. I didn't expect this kid, who is usually so afraid of death, to finally muster the courage to fight back and buy us time. I actually admire him a little."

As he said this, Fatty coughed twice, but he wasn't coughing up blood anymore.

"What happened after I fainted?" Rouyi was very curious about what happened after she fainted, especially about Fatty defeating the lizardman.

Rouyi didn't believe that Fatty, who was seriously injured, could single-handedly eliminate the lizardman, because she had experienced the lizardman's power.

Rouyi continued, "How did you defeat him?"

Fatty shook his head, "It wasn't me who defeated the lizardman, it was Young Master..."

Hearing the words "Young Master," Rouyi's eyes widened like copper bells as she looked at Fatty, flickering. She reached out and grabbed Fatty's arm, "Young Master? Where is he!"

Fatty had expected Rouyi to be excited when she heard Young Master's name, but he didn't expect her to be so carried away. He told Rouyi to calm down before explaining, "Young Master isn't here..."

Hearing that Young Master wasn't here, Rouyi calmed down a lot. She had imagined many possibilities of Young Master helping, and she had actually anticipated this situation.

Fatty continued to explain, "Do you remember when we went to America to find Jennifer, and we finally met Little Yu? I told her something in private."

Rouyi nodded, signaling Fatty to continue.

"At that time, Little Yu gave me a strand of Young Master's hair, but she didn't mention what it was for. She just gave it to me. At first, I was puzzled, thinking it was a hint from Little Yu, but I couldn't figure it out. Later, I forgot about Young Master's hair.

...After I was hit into the wall by the lizardman, I was briefly unconscious.

When I woke up, I found that the small bottle containing Young Master's hair, which I had been carrying with me, had fallen out of my pocket and landed not far from me.

When I saw that strand of hair, I suddenly remembered my previous experiences in the Himalayas and the underwater stone city.

Especially in the underwater stone city, I personally witnessed the changes that happened to the meteorite and the stone city after Young Master touched the meteorite.

An idea suddenly popped into my head—if I threw Young Master's hair into the meteorite, would Young Master's hair react with the meteorite and regain the meteorite power from the lizardman?

So, while you and Dodge were fighting the lizardman, I struggled to crawl to the meteorite and threw that strand of hair into a crack in the dull meteorite.

Unexpectedly, it was just like I guessed. All the energy in the lizardman's body was absorbed by the meteorite."

Fatty smiled bitterly, "At the time, I was so eager to get rid of the lizardman that I forgot about another thing, which is that whether it was the Himalayas or the underwater stone city, as long as Young Master touched the meteorite, it would cause the space to collapse, and everything produced by the meteorite power would collapse... So, it's the same here. Do you remember the ancient city under the desert? When the meteorite's energy is gone, the space here will completely collapse, and all life will be erased."

Fatty explained the whole process in one breath. Before he could catch his breath, he started coughing violently again.

Rouyi gently patted Fatty on the back, trying to relieve his coughing: "Are we trapped here?"

After Fatty finished coughing, his face was flushed. He paused for a moment and replied, "Yes..."

Fatty fell into thought, and Rouyi stopped talking. Both of them were very solemn.

At this moment, Lewand suddenly thought of something. He said to Fatty and Rouyi, "Instead of waiting to die, why don't we go back into the black bridge and try again? Maybe we can find a way out?"

Fatty hesitated, "You heard what the Executor said just now. The black magma under the black bridge is completely chaotic. Going in is no different from courting death."

"Anyway, we're going to die sooner or later. I don't want to live a few more hours. Why don't we give it a try?" Rouyi looked at Fatty and said firmly.
