Navigator: I have a double six-story house

Su Qing placed her hand on the deep blue crystal.

The moment I touched it, a cold sensation spread from my fingertips to my arm, as if my entire arm had been immersed in a river in winter.

The crystal seemed to be aware of its own existence and loosened on its own.

Su Qing clenched her five fingers and pulled hard.

Click.

The sound of the crystal breaking off from the rock layer was crisp and dry, and a small piece of broken black rock was pulled out along with it.

A fist-sized meteorite fragment lay in my palm, surprisingly light in weight, yet emanating a chilling aura.

At the same time, the feeling of energy being constantly drained from the body also disappeared.

Lin An's roar came from behind.

"Su Qing! How dare you!"

Su Qing didn't turn around, and tucked the meteorite fragments into her clothes.

At the same time, a white light swept over the Sun Valley trio, and the three disappeared from their spot.

Lin An stumbled and fell to his knees as the restraints disappeared.

He looked down at the red marks on his wrist from the chains, then looked up at the fading sky.

The sky was like a charred piece of paper, curling and cracking from the edges, revealing a grayish-white void behind it.

Trees are turning into specks of light, the ground is crumbling, and the seawater is evaporating out of thin air.

The entire island, the entire instance space, is being erased from reality.

"Hold."

Lin An uttered a single word and stood up.

He looked down at the last remaining rock at his feet, and pulled the broken compass from his pocket.

The pointer spun wildly, having lost its direction.

"This time we've really lost everything!"

His voice was calm, but his lips were twitching.

"The fleet spent a lot of resources to force their way into the beginner dungeon after finally getting this compass."

"Just for that 'Gluttony' fragment"

"I never expected to run into such a tough rookie captain."

"This is a real huge loss!"

The spatial fragments around him had spread to his feet, and cracks began to appear on the ground where he was standing.

Lin An may seem like he's just waiting to die, but he actually has a way to escape.

This compass is both the key to entering this instance and the tool to leave.

He's just struggling with this now.

If we go back empty-handed, the captain will probably give us a good beating.

The thought of his legendary captain's tortures sent shivers down his spine.

"Well, it's better to live a wretched life than to die a good death."

Now that things have come to this, I have no choice but to go back and confess honestly.

Lin An took a deep breath and gripped the compass tightly.

"Su Qing".

He recited the name while facing the empty space ahead.

"I'll remember you."

The remaining blue light on the compass lit up, but the brightness was not high, indicating that the remaining energy was only enough for one more use.

But that was enough for Lin An.

The blue light enveloped his entire body, like a cocoon.

The next second, the cocoon of light disappeared.

The island shattered completely, turning into dust drifting in the void.

......

Meanwhile, the crew of the Sunny successfully evacuated the instance.

We've returned to the Age of Exploration; the sun is blindingly bright in the sky.

Su Qing stood on the white sand, with the cries of seagulls and the reward notifications from the system in her ears.

He was back, but he had no time to feel any relief, nor to check the rewards the system had given him.

"Wang Yao!"

He turned to look at Wang Yao, who was lying on the ground beside him, and his pupils contracted sharply.

The two daggers that were stuck in Wang Yao's waist in the dungeon did not come out with him.

This means there's nothing covering the wound anymore.

Two thumb-sized bloody holes were exposed to the air, and blood gushed out, turning the white sand beach crimson.

"Take off the plate armor! Quick!" Su Qing shouted as he tried to remove Wang Yao's plate armor.

Selena had already squatted down and was using both hands to unbutton Wang Yao's shirt.

The plate armor was soaked with sweat and blood, and the buckles were so slippery that they couldn't be unfastened.

She simply pulled a small knife out of her purse and cut the belt.

Su Qing lifted the side plate of the plate armor from the other side, and the two of them worked together to peel off Wang Yao's upper body armor.

The plate armor landed on the beach with a dull thud.

Without his plate armor, Wang Yao looked noticeably thinner, and his inner clothing was soaked with blood, clinging to his skin.

Selena opened her pink handbag and pulled out a bunch of bottles and jars.

Hemostatic powder, ointment, gauze, splints...

Without wasting any words, she poured the hemostatic powder produced by the Wind Breeze Merchant Guild directly into the wound as if it were free.

Wang Yao grunted, veins bulging on his forehead, but he didn't shout.

Su Qing pressed down on his shoulder to stop him from moving.

"Don't sleep." Su Qing looked at Wang Yao's increasingly unfocused eyes and said in a low voice, "Wang Yao, don't sleep."

Selena moved with lightning speed, stopping the bleeding, cleaning the wound, and bandaging it all in one go, but her brow furrowed more and more tightly.

Wang Yao's face was deathly pale, his lips were blue, and his breathing became increasingly weak.

His hand groped and grabbed Su Qing's wrist.

My fingers are cold.

"Su Zai".

Wang Yao's voice was very soft, softer than ever before, a softness completely different from his usual loud voice.

Su Qing looked down at him.

"Feel sorry."

Wang Yao's lips twitched slightly as he tried to smile, but he couldn't manage it.

"I can't walk with you any further."

His fingers loosened slightly, then tightened again.

My eyelids started to droop.

Su Qing held his hand without saying a word.

His eyes were bloodshot, and an unknown liquid welled up in them.

Wang Yao mustered all his strength and finally managed to force a smile.

"Finally... could I do you a favor?"

Su Qing gripped Wang Yao's hand tightly.

He didn't want to hear what Wang Yao was going to say next, but he had no choice but to.

He moved his lips, "You said..."

"Could you call me 'brother' just once...?"

Su Qing fell silent.

Although he and Wang Yao were not related by blood, Wang Yao was indeed older than him.

They grew up together in an orphanage. Although there were some unpleasant moments at first, their relationship became very close over time.

Moreover, throughout the entire Age of Exploration, it was always Wang Yao who stood at the forefront, protecting him from all dangers.

This kind of relationship is not that of blood brothers, but it is even better than that of blood brothers.

Su Qing's lips moved, wanting to fulfill his good brother's last wish.

He uttered the word "brother" that he had never said before.

Just then, he suddenly noticed something.

Selena, without anyone noticing, pulled out her little pink camera and took pictures of the two of them with a smile on her face.

He realized something was wrong.

Selena isn't the kind of person who doesn't consider the occasion.

Moreover, the medicine in the young lady of the Fengxi Merchant Guild's bag couldn't possibly be that simple.

so......

That damn bastard is messing with me!

Su Qing stood up and kicked Wang Yao directly between the legs.

"Holy crap!"

Wang Yao, who was originally on the verge of death, instantly curled up like a shrimp, clutching his groin tightly.

"hiss!"

"That kick of yours will surely kill you, Su!"

Su Qing patted the sand off her hands.

"It seems my medical skills are more effective than Bilina's medicine."

On the beach, Wang Yao lay on the ground clutching his groin, while Su Qing crossed her arms over her chest.

Selena smiled and pressed the shutter.
