Strange Voyage: Summoning the Fourth Disaster.

Chapter 640 Meeting Again
After obtaining Chief Yasum's consent, Ryan quickly took action.

Since Candlelight Island and Campfire are now considered partners, they no longer need to communicate through the Shadow Cave.

Li Miao and Shang An happened to be online at that time, and they were not in a dungeon.

Ryan sat cross-legged by the campfire, waiting quietly.

Before long, three unfamiliar yet somewhat familiar figures finally appeared in front of him.

"Long time no see, my friend."

“You’ve all changed so much, and you’ve become so strong. You’re completely different from when I first met you…”

At this point, Ryan couldn't help but sigh. The warriors of the Candlelight seemed to be growing up very quickly, especially his two friends.

When they first met in the seaside town, their strength wasn't much greater than his.

One was an ordinary knight wearing the standard armor of a law knight, and the other was a mage carrying an ordinary staff.

Now, he had never even seen the armor Li Miao was wearing before, and the golden burn marks on his body exuded a heavy oppressive force, perhaps also from the battle aura of a Fire Saint...

"...It's really great to see you all again."

Looking at the three people in front of him, Ryan smiled a smile he hadn't shown in a long time.

“Ryan.” Li Miao couldn’t help but smile, secretly relieved: “It’s good that you’re alright.”

"Wow, why haven't you been to the Shadow Cave for so long? We thought something had happened to you," said the person who went ashore, directly voicing their question.

"You've advanced to the Fire Transformation Saint realm so quickly?" The storyteller noticed this immediately and couldn't help but be surprised: "That's truly amazing..."

Although he said that, he couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart, and he silently observed the other party.

"Well, at least I'm still alive."

Ryan smiled and nodded, then explained to them what he had been going through recently.

During the conversation, he also shared some of his memories from before his recovery and becoming a firewood gatherer.

Li Miao and the others also asked questions out of curiosity, gaining a deeper understanding of the Yasum ethnic group.

Then, Ryan also brought up the matter of Yasum's spirit.

After listening to what he said...

The storyteller frowned immediately: "So... the souls of your tribe's warriors are now all gathered in your body? And the body's control doesn't belong to you, but to one of your ancestral chieftains?"

"You could say that," Ryan said with a wry smile.

Upon hearing this, Li Miao frowned as well: "Even if you agree to do this, shouldn't you at least have control over your body?"

"Your decision to take a risk is completely different from someone else taking your body on a risk."

Once ashore, he spoke his mind: "Exactly! Your ancestral clan chief is just manipulating you. What nonsense about training and punishment! Don't listen to him!"

Before Ryan could respond after he finished speaking, the spirit of the Yasum chieftain within his body became enraged.

He roughly regained control of his body and then used Ryan's body to directly refute the idea of ​​going ashore.

"What do you, a mere ghost from elsewhere, know?" Chieftain Yasum sneered. "Ryan almost ruined Yasum's most important opportunity, which shows he is incapable of shouldering heavy responsibilities. Only I can control this body and live up to the expectations of Yasum warriors!"

Upon seeing Ryan's rebuttal...

All three of them were stunned for a moment before they could react, but they quickly realized that the person in front of them was Chief Yasum, not Ryan.

Upon realizing this, Shang An's brows furrowed immediately.

Being rather impatient, he immediately voiced his opinion: "Bullshit!"

"You old bastard, how dare you show your face? What bullshit is this glory of Yasum? Why didn't you bring glory to your people when you were alive? Where were you all this time?"

"Now that the world is shattered, you want to bring glory to your people, but instead, you want your warriors to become firewood gatherers, dying one after another?"

"What, you don't even care if someone else dies?"

After hearing what the man on shore had to say, Chief Yasum did not get angry, but instead smiled disdainfully.

"You rude and ignorant fool, you know nothing."

"The candlelight has protected you so well that you can't see the cruelty of the world."

"Before the world was shattered, peoples like us Yasum had no chance to control our own destiny. Every member of our group was just a fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of other groups."

"You've certainly never seen the souls of your fellow countrymen treated like toys... Nor have you ever seen the lives of your fellow countrymen so easily erased like dust, all because of a little joke..."

“We have had enough of that. We don’t want to be ants anymore, and we don’t want our children and grandchildren to be bullied again.”

"Therefore, the extinction of the world is both a disaster and an opportunity..."

"An opportunity for Yasum to move towards greatness and glory!"

"And I, we, all the warriors of the Yasum tribe, are willing to give everything for this vision, even at the cost of our lives!"

Chief Yasum's voice was filled with extreme fanaticism and obsession.

After he finished speaking, Li Miao stepped forward, his expression serious: "But this is not a reason for you to seize Ryan's body."

“If anyone is to sacrifice their life for their community, it should be him, not you.”

Upon hearing this, Chief Yasum paused for a moment.

The storyteller, who had been pondering for a long time, spoke up at this moment and raised a crucial question.

"I'm a little curious."

“Ryan said there’s more than one firewood gatherer in your tribe, and you’re very confident in yourself, so why didn’t you do it before?”

Is it really because of some so-called timing?

"Or... are you actually controlling the body of the Yasum Fire Gatherer all along?"

The storyteller stared intently into his eyes.

Chief Yasum remained silent for a moment upon hearing this, then sneered, "Incomprehensible slander."

"Ryan, continue saying goodbye to your friends."

After saying this, Chief Yasum returned control of his body to Ryan once again.

A moment later, Ryan's gaze returned to normal from its coldness.

“I’m sorry… the chieftain has a rather short temper.” Ryan sighed, his first words being an apology, followed by an explanation: “But he is truly thinking of the entire Yasum tribe…”

Hearing this, the three wanted to say something more.

But Ryan took out some things and handed them over: "I thought these weapons, combat skills, and spells would be of some use to you."

"But now it seems that these things are probably of no use to you now."

"I'm really sorry."
