The sudden system prompt and System Announcement made one thing abundantly clear: every word Dragon Island Master had said about Hero's Island being on the verge of destruction was true. He had not been joking!
After hearing the System Announcement and system prompt, the players, who had long since made their respective gains, were naturally eager to leave. The NPCs, however, remained doubtful and unable to make up their minds.
In truth, most of them still coveted the martial arts on the stone walls. They would rather risk their lives than leave just like that.
And if the NPCs would not leave, the players naturally could not leave either.
Though ships were moored by the shore, sailing was no laughing matter. Not one of the players present had learned any skill related to navigation. Even if they were given ships, they would not know how to sail them.
The two Island Masters had long expected the reactions of those non-player character experts. Dragon Island Master spoke again, "If you do not believe me, then go take a look at the stone chambers. Every chamber has collapsed, and the stone walls have been destroyed. Even if no earthquake comes and no volcano erupts, there will be nothing left to do here."
Those who heard that the stone walls had been destroyed were all greatly shocked. They rushed out of the hall and sprinted toward the stone chambers behind it. However, since Dragon Island Master dared say such a thing, he had naturally made preparations. No one knew whether the chambers had been destroyed by the earthquake or whether Hero's Island had used some other method to blow them up. In any case, when they arrived, every stone chamber had indeed collapsed, and all the diagrams on the walls had been ruined.
