Volcano or Siesta? / The Music Festival Ends

"Wait, how come they're on Rhodes Island?"

"Let me tell you. I have a good relationship with their daughter, Eyjafjalla, and I've heard some things from her."

The Naumann were forced by nobles to research something, which resulted in a volcanic eruption. Although they survived, they both contracted Oripathy, and their illness was quite severe.

The nobles abandoned them when they saw their appearance.

They were then sent to Rhodes Island and their lives were saved.

Considering they would be targeted again if they left Rhodes Island, they decided to stay and continue their research.

Eyjafjalla, their daughter, also came to Rhodes Island with them.

Upon hearing Ifrit's words, Suika suddenly understood and breathed a sigh of relief.

The two should have died in the volcanic eruption; it was probably the lucky charm they gave each other that saved their lives.

But after twists and Zhuan Zhuan, the threads of fate once again connected the two men and their daughter with Rhodes Island.

However, this time Eyjafjalla is no longer the little lamb who inherited her parents' will and then became deaf due to Oripathy.

Although this would likely Dory him Dori, any normal person would know which choice to make: the safety of their parents or the concern of the Beast Lord.

I believe that no matter which route Eyjafjalla chooses, she would choose the former without hesitation.

"Should we go back now, explain the situation to the Doctor, and arrange for a professional to come and investigate?"

Suika asked.

"Wait, it looks like something big is coming out of there!" Ifrit had been keeping an eye on things inside, suddenly said, and the four of them quickly hid.

The Originium Bug below began to scatter in all directions, and soon a huge body appeared in front of the four.

"Hiss, is that Originium Bug?" Skyfire stared in shock at the enormous figure below.

If a normal Originium Bug is about the size of a kitten, then this thing below is a tank.

Based on this warning alone, some people might believe it when told it eats people.

"It is indeed Originium Bug, but an extremely mutated type... and it looks like it's the leader of the Originium Bug here." Even with its tail fur almost singed, Provence still studied the huge life form below intently without blinking.

"Did you find anything?" Suika asked, noticing Provence's furrowed brow.

"It looks very uneasy... Could it be because its habitat has been destroyed?"

Provence recounted in a low voice the situation she and Skyfire had discovered during their time with Siesta, where obsidian was being over-mined.

"Very likely, after all, Originium Bug are highly sensitive to their environment, especially this mutated one, which probably has even stricter environmental requirements."

Extensive mining has severely damaged their habitat and destroyed the local ecosystem.

No wonder I saw this information here. According to intelligence, this volcano should have remained dormant. So, the reason it woke up...

Suika pointed to the data inside the Provence backpack.

"What are they trying to do?" Ifrit asked, pointing in the direction the Originium Bug were heading.

"Wait, let me check the mine map..."

"Oh no! This is the path to another mine exit! These Originium Bug want to get out!"

After carefully examining the map, Provence exclaimed in astonishment.

"We must stop them. There are too many Siesta now. Once these Originium Bug break out of the mines, they will pose a huge danger. With such a dense population, whatever happens will be a very serious incident."

Skyfire looked in the direction the Originium Bug had left, then took out his staff.

Seeing this, Ifrit was standing nearby, also showed an eager expression.

"Hey, hey, hey, what do you guys want to do?"

"Such a large Originium Bug is a rare find. If you injure it, there's no guarantee that some animal rights activists won't come looking for trouble."

Suika reached out and stopped them.

"But we can't just let them rush out of the mine like that!" Skyfire said anxiously.

Suika shook her finger. "You guys wait here, leave the rest to me."

She vanished from the spot in an instant after saying that.

Meanwhile, Suika appeared in the path of the Originium Bug.

Facing the overwhelming army of Originium Burrowers ahead, enough to make anyone feel utterly uncomfortable, Suika simply clapped her hands.

"Dust to dust, ashes to ashes, returning to where you came from!"

After a brief commotion, the Originium Bug turned around and headed back the way they came.

The group hiding above the passage also noticed the Originium Bug suddenly turn around.

Although they didn't understand why this was happening, they knew that a danger that could have caused the deaths of thousands of people had been so easily and casually resolved by Suika.

Soon, a giant Originium Bug appeared before them, along with Originium Bug standing atop Suika.

At this moment, she crossed her arms, looking invincible, which made everyone extremely envious.

The giant Originium Bug stopped below the group, while the smaller Volcanic Originium Bug beside it continued to move deeper into the depths.

Suika looked up at the group of people not far away and then waved.

"Want to touch this big guy?"

While the other two hesitated, the skilled and daring Ifrit leaped to Suika's side.

She crouched down in surprise, stroking the giant, silent Originium Bug at her feet. "How did you do that?"

Chapter 584 Volcano OR Siesta

"This guy looks big, but he's actually very docile and reasonable."

I just asked it why it wanted to go out, and it said it wanted to go to a music festival too.

Then I told it that the music festival was a human music festival, Originium Bug couldn't attend, so it felt disappointed and prepared to go back."

Suika's serious-sounding nonsense made the other three roll their eyes.

However, Suika wasn't lying about one thing: the large Originium Bug under the four of them was indeed very docile.

"Ouch, it's so hot!" Provence, who had landed on his back, noticed that the surrounding temperature was even higher.

After noticing that her tail was almost on fire, Suika reached out and several ice spikes appeared in her hand, which she then tossed to Provence.

"Let's cool off first. Everyone, please move closer. Shanghai, could you please take a few photos with us?"

After Suika finished speaking, she tossed the camera to Shanghai was flying in the air.

Shanghai pointed her camera at the group, and after a few clicks, she flew back.

"Thank you!" Suika, taking the camera and looking at the group.

"I've already made arrangements with this big guy; it will return to the depths of the volcano."

However, the mining has already damaged the volcano's environment, making a volcanic eruption seem inevitable.

"There's still time. We just need to go back and tell the master of Siesta what's happening here."

After listening to what Suika said, the others nodded.

"Wait, can I extract some of this big guy's bodily fluids?" Provence asked.

"No problem, go ahead. But judging from its body temperature, this guy's blood temperature is no lower than lava. Are you sure your equipment can handle it?"

Suika remained calm about Provence's idea, but she didn't believe that the ordinary tools in Provence's hands could be used to collect blood at such abnormally high temperatures.

"I have a container made of special steel that's perfect for collecting blood, but it seems there's nothing to draw blood from it," Provence said, taking out a small bottle.

Suika took the bottle, looked at it, then went to the side of the Originium Bug, made a cut on its body, and placed the bottle next to the wound.

The three people standing above couldn't help but shudder at Suika's actions.

Keep in mind that they are still on top of this huge thing. If it gets hurt and loses control, all three of them will likely be injured.

But to everyone's surprise, the Originium Bug only trembled slightly and did not have a greater stress response.

"Wow, can you teach me that move?" Ifrit, somewhat envious.

Suika clapped her hands.

"You don't need to learn. Once you fully unleash that thing within you, you'll be able to instinctively suppress these low-intelligence life forms."

"Instinctive suppression?" Ifrit asked, puzzled.

"It means that when a lower-level life form encounters a higher-level life form, it is completely controlled by the latter. Another type of suppression is the suppression by natural enemies."

"But such a large Originium Bug can be called the Originium Bug King. It's quite remarkable that you, Suika, could completely control it."

"Provence helped Suika explain," said the woman standing nearby.

"Does this thing have a name?" Ifrit asked after jumping off the giant Originium Bug.

"Let's call it Pompeii, what do you think!" Skyfire gently stroked the rough skin of the Originium Bug after landing.

"Okay!" Everyone nodded in agreement with Skyfire's suggestion.

"Alright, big Pompeii, go back to your underground, and remember not to come up again!"

After collecting another batch of data on Pompeii in the sweltering heat of Provence, Suika patted him on the shoulder, and Pompeii slowly walked back into the depths of the cave, watched by the four of them.

"Are they really not coming back?" Ifrit asked, looking into the cave.

Suika stroked her chin and thought for a moment, "How about we collapse this? There's no one in here anyway."

After hearing her explanation, the other three thought it was a good idea. Skyfire and Ifrit conjured several large fireballs and set off a targeted explosion inside the cave.

Then the four of them emerged from the cave, looking disheveled and covered in dust.

"Cough cough cough, can't you guys be a little more careful? My god, we almost got buried in there instead of blocking the way out of these Originium Bug."

Suika muttered to herself as she shook off the dust.

"You were the one who came up with this suggestion!" Ifrit immediately retorted.

"I'm just mentioning it casually, but look at how little impact the Skyfire explosion had. You, Ifrit, are practically afraid the mine won't collapse..."

Suika.

"Just tell me if the intended goal has been achieved or not!" Ifrit said, hands on her hips, looking quite self-righteous. But the ash on her forehead told those around her that she wasn't as at ease as she appeared. To be precise, she was the one closest to the landslide. If Suika hadn't pulled her out in time, she probably would have been buried under the volcano.

"Let's go down quickly. I received a message from Doctor; the situation in the city has been resolved."

Skyfire picked up his phone and waved it; a message notification had arrived.

There was no signal inside the cave, but now all four of their phones are ringing non-stop.

He picked up his phone and saw a message from the Doctor. They had successfully captured the saboteurs within Siesta. After Suika and her group obtained information about the volcano, they went directly to the City Hall to meet up with the Doctor and his group.

After descending the mountain, the four arrived at the city hall and soon met Doctor and his group.

Mayor Herman is speaking with Doctor.

Provence shared the information he had gathered about the volcano and the discoveries the four of them made inside. Suika then presented the photos she had taken as evidence.

Looking at the densely packed Volcanic Originium Bug in the photo, especially the enormous Pompeii, Herman nodded silently.

"The Doctor says you are all highly skilled Catastrophe Messenger. Do you have an accurate assessment of the volcanic activity?"

"So I can arrange the evacuation of Siesta."

After reading the report, Herman looked at Suika and Provence.

"I predict the volcanic eruption will occur within two years." Suika remembered that the volcano erupted in 1099, and now it is 1097, which is two years away.

"However, I am not a professional volcanologist. I heard from Provence that our ship seems to have personnel in this field. Perhaps we can arrange for them to come and conduct an on-site investigation to make a more accurate judgment on the situation of the volcano."

After Suika the last sentence, Suika looked at the Doctor. The Doctor thought for two seconds after listening before looking at Herman and speaking.

"Rhodes Island does indeed have two scholars who are highly skilled in volcanic research. I can send them an invitation, but I cannot guarantee whether they will be willing to come."

Chapter 585 The Music Festival Comes to an End

After leaving Herman's place, the group went outside and found a restaurant to sit down.

"What's the story behind this photo?" Doctor asked Suika.

Although the way the group of people are posing for a photo around the giant mutated Originium Bug might make it seem like the thing is harmless.

But something that big definitely can't be a docile creature.
