Chapter 878 Suddenly Turns Against Me
In the minds of Su Chen and other humans, a so-called city, especially a checkpoint, is a place.
They were usually built in strategically important locations to better keep enemies out.
Zhenyuan Pass was indeed built in this way.
But unlike others, it was built on a huge volcano!
The tall and majestic city walls encircle the crater.
Banners fluttered above the city walls, and various water cannons, many of which we had seen before, were deployed there.
There were also many strangely shaped defensive weapons that looked like they had enormous destructive power.
A large number of Atlantean soldiers are on guard on the city walls.
Descending from the crater, one encounters rows of buildings resembling military camps.
Only at the foot of the mountain was a city wall built, enclosing the entire volcano.
Compared to the crater, the city wall below is not as tall and its defenses are relatively weak.
Seeing the surprised expressions on Su Chen's and the others' faces, Yi Chen couldn't help but feel a little smug.
Little did he know that Su Chen and the others were simply surprised because it was the first time they had ever seen a city built around a volcano.
If these merfolk were to see the Demon City before the apocalypse, they would probably be speechless with astonishment!
"The Lava Clan lives inside the volcano..."
Liu Guang introduced them to Su Chen and the others.
According to ancient records, the original Lava Clan, like the inhabitants of Atlantis, were normal sea creatures.
Later, they attempted to invade Atlantis, and a fierce battle ensued between the two sides.
Ultimately, the Lava Clan was defeated and driven into the volcano in front of them.
The living environment inside a volcano is extremely harsh.
Fortunately, the Lava Clan creatures are highly adaptable and ultimately survived in the volcano.
However, the Lava Clan, unwilling to accept defeat, would periodically launch a counterattack against Atlantis.
To better deal with them, the underwater kingdom built Zhenyuan Pass around the volcano and sent elite troops to guard it!
Since the completion of Zhenyuan Pass, the Lava Clan has never been able to break through the volcano!
This is why Liu Guang and Yi Chen were so surprised when they saw the Lava Clan soldiers!
After hearing Liuguang's explanation, everyone suddenly understood.
A thoughtful expression appeared on Su Chen's face.
He looked further behind the volcano, where it was pitch black.
"Where is that place over there?"
"That place is the end of the world."
Liuguang explained.
After passing Zhenyuan Pass, a few kilometers ahead lies a massive abyss!
No one knows how long, wide, or deep this abyss is.
To the creatures of the underwater kingdom, this was the end of the world.
Su Chen nodded and said nothing more.
The group followed Yi Chen and headed towards the volcano.
They soon arrived at the city gate at the foot of the mountain.
Upon seeing Yi Chen, the merfolk soldiers guarding the city immediately allowed him to pass.
The group swam slowly towards the crater along the road.
The closer you get to the crater, the tighter the security becomes.
Fortunately, with Yi Chen leading the team, Su Chen and his group were able to proceed without any obstacles.
When they arrived at the crater, they discovered that a tall and majestic palace had been built outside the city walls.
Yi Chen led Su Chen and his group into the palace.
On the main hall sat a merman dressed in exquisite armor.
He had a handsome face, but you could see a hint of age in it.
The eyes of those who looked at Su Chen and the others were gleaming with a sharp light!
Judging from the aura emanating from him, Su Chen was certain that this person was definitely a C-rank expert!
Not bad.
This person is none other than Yan Yue, a member of the royal family of Atlantis, the garrison commander of Zhenyuan Pass, and Liu Guang's uncle!
"Ryuko, you're back."
Upon seeing Liuguang enter, the sharp glint in Yan Yue's eyes vanished, replaced by a look of tenderness.
"uncle!"
Liuguang called out and quickly swam to Yanyue's side.
Yan Yue looked her over carefully and, after confirming that she was alright, he was finally relieved.
He looked at Su Chen.
"You must be Su Chen, the one who saved Liu Guang?"
As a C-rank powerhouse, Yan Yue is extremely sensitive to aura and energy.
From the moment Su Chen entered the room, he sensed that Su Chen possessed a far stronger aura than anyone else.
Not to mention the other humans, all of whom were led by Su Chen.
His beloved niece stayed by Su Chen's side every step of the way.
"Meet the general!"
Su Chen cupped his hands in a respectful but not arrogant manner.
"Thanks to you, Liuguang was able to arrive here safely."
"I already know about the agreement between you and Liuguang."
Iwagaku snapped his fingers.
A group of merfolk dressed as servants swam over from the side, carrying boxes of varying sizes.
They placed the boxes in front of Su Chen and then opened them all.
Inside, there were many rare materials, such as black ironwood.
"This is just a small token of my appreciation, please accept it, Mr. Su Chen."
Yan Yue paused for a moment, then smiled and said,
"Now that Liuguang has arrived safely, please return, Mr. Su."
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the group of humans changed slightly!
Although materials like Black Iron Wood are extremely important to the Watchers Alliance.
But they took such a great risk to escort Liuguang to Zhenyuan Pass, and it wasn't just for the Xuan Tiemu!
More importantly, we need to find a way to breathe underwater, and a portal to leave this place!
Yan Yue, on the other hand, simply wanted to send them away!
If they leave now, they'll probably all die!
After all, the reagents left for them were only enough to last for another three days!
"uncle……"
Liu Guang's pretty face changed slightly, and she was about to say something.
But Yan Yue waved his hand.
"I'm in charge here. Liuguang, you should go back now!"
"General Yan Yue, aren't you going a bit too far?"
Su Chen narrowed his eyes, a hint of sternness in them.
Ryuko had already told Iwagaku about their situation, but Iwagaku wanted to send them away.
This shows that Yan Yue is ready to break ties with them!
"You brought Liuguang back, and I've already given you so many treasures; I've done more than enough!"
Yan Yue said calmly.
"Please leave."
"What if I don't leave?"
"Then don't blame me for being rude."
Yan Yue's face darkened.
As soon as he finished speaking, a large number of Zhenyuan Pass soldiers rushed out from both sides.
Not to mention Luo Xiaotian, Xiang Mengmeng and other humans, even Yi Chen looked surprised.
He also did not expect that Yan Yue would actually arrange for people to be there!
"Uncle, what are you doing?!"
Ryuko glared angrily at Iwagaku.
But Yan Yue just stared at Su Chen and ignored him.
Su Chen's face was ashen as he surveyed his surroundings.
Although not fully recovered yet.
But with his current strength, if he were to receive another berserk injection, killing Iwatake shouldn't be a problem.
Killing Yan Yue is easy, but how do we control Zhenyuan Pass?
