Chapter 849: Chapter 349: Spaceship Restart_2 Chapter 849: Chapter 349: Spaceship Restart_2 The observer clutched the wound on his head, blood covering his face as he stood on the ground, and saw the horrifying center of the massive explosion ahead. The explosion had not only destroyed the entire central area of the trap but also completely erased the adjacent marketplace. In the center of the explosion, no life existed, for life had lost all meaning here; nothing could survive in this place.

The observer stared blankly at the center of the explosion for a while before snapping back to reality, suddenly remembering that the High Priest had entered the explosion area, and then the explosion occurred–what had become of the High Priest now?

Worry grew within the observer, and with a hoarse voice, he shouted, “High Priest…”

Just then, another violent earthquake occurred underground. Then, 30 kilometers away from the epicenter of the blast, a mountain peak violently exploded. The upper half of the peak was blown sky-high by the immense underground pressure and then disintegrated mid-air into billions of tons of rubble and earth. A massive white plume of smoke erupted from the split in the peak, shooting up to an altitude of 5,000 meters.

Hot red lava then gushed from the breach in the mountain, boiling and flowing rapidly in all directions like liquid. Everywhere the lava traveled, the plants and combustible materials immediately caught fire, sending up huge clouds of thick smoke. Everything in the path of the lava flow was destroyed…

Along with the red magma spouting from beneath the Earth, great amounts of gray fluff-like items also emerged. These items spread through the air at a breakneck pace and slowly began to obscure the Sun from the sky.

By this time, the mountain debris that had been blasted into the sky began to fall back to the ground. Though these fragments originated from the mountain explosion, they were enormous in size. They plummeted to the ground with tremendous kinetic energy, exploding violently on impact, shattering into pieces. The destruction they caused upon impact was hardly less powerful than that of bombs.

The observer, who had been concerned for the safety of the High Priest, was shocked to see such a drastic change in the distant mountain. Watching everything unfold, it took a moment for him to react before he shouted loudly, “It's terrible, a volcanic eruption has occurred…”

It turned out that the trap's exact center lay atop a weak geological structure, a critical node in the Earth's crust. The explosion of 2,000 tons of High Explosive would have been incredibly powerful anywhere else but wouldn't have damaged the geological structure. However, as this location was the key node of the nearby tectonic plates, the transmitted energy from the explosion triggered a shift in the plates.

Under the pressure of the tectonic plates, immense underground forces that had been building for millions of years were forced to move. This tremendous pressure found an outlet through the nearby mountain, which was blown apart by the underground forces, and then underground magma found a vent, erupting upwards in a horrifying volcanic event.

After the observer realized a volcanic eruption had occurred, his face turned deathly pale. When a massive boulder plummeted from the sky, smashing a large rock on the ground to smithereens like a cannonball, the observer finally recognized the danger.

By this time, the observer was no longer concerned about the High Priest's fate; he turned and fled. But just as he did, a large boulder flew across the sky and fell upon him, crushing him into a pulp.

No one had anticipated that the trap set to take on the Destroyer would turn out to be positioned right on a node of the tectonic plates, triggering an extreme geological phenomenon–an eruption of the volcano.

The Dream Island Satellite in the sky also detected the volcanic eruption, and Yan Fei in the underground cave was naturally aware of this world-shaking spectacle. He could never have imagined that his actions would cause a significant volcanic eruption here, and from the looks of it, this eruption would have a vast and lasting impact on the nearby terrain.

As the volcano began to erupt, the earthquakes underground grew increasingly severe. The walls of the cave where Yan Fei was situated shook continuously, rocks began to fall, and the giant rock overhead began to sway, as if it might drop at any moment.

Yan Fei immediately realized something was wrong. If that giant rock were to fall, everything in the cave, including himself, would be crushed. So he stopped collecting items from the Flying Vehicle and quickly returned to the control center to take the Drone Upgrade Essential Items and leave the place. As precious as the items here were, his own life was worth more; without life, these items, no matter how many, would be meaningless.

Yan Fei made his way back to the control center with ease. He stepped forward and grabbed the brick-shaped item on the console. With force in his hands, he pulled it from the socket below. Then, Yan Fei discovered that this thing indeed resembled a brick. Although the top was covered in moss, the part beneath was a complete silvery-white item, perfectly smooth and new, seemingly untouched as it had been inserted in the socket all along.
