The Thane's jaw dropped. He did not know what to say. So the crisis was not over yet?
"… Lord Hero, may I know how long it will take to defeat that demon?"
He looked nervous and pained. "It's going to be the activation period of the island in a few days. If we can't defeat the monster before then, we won't be able to bring in any adventurers this year!"
If they were unable to bring in any adventurers, they would lose the flow of customers. Then the huge amount of money that they could have gotten would be gone with the wind.
During the activation period, he could earn ten times more profit than usual. How could he give it up so easily?
"I don't know."
Ryuga glanced at the Thane. "That monster's strength has not recovered to its peak. Besides, it has the ability to escape into another dimension. No one can say for sure that it will be able to do so in a fixed time."
"Ah, this …"
The Thane shrugged his shoulders and sighed. There seemed to be more wrinkles on his face. "Alright. Human lives are important after all. I'll go and give the order to let the adventurers leave."
Although he valued profits, he was still a good Thane who thought for his people.
Kalmilla Island was located at the border of the Kingdom of Merlomark. If one was not capable enough, he would not be able to take up the position of Thane.
After that, Ryuga and the Thane split up. She brought along Esders and Dotya to set up a barrier around the entire island. They did not need to have a strong defensive ability. They just needed to prevent people from coming in.
The Thane went to the people of the island to announce Ryuga's words and plans. He knew that his reputation was limited, so he used the name of the Hero of the Bow to gain the approval of many people.
The adventurers who were relieved to see that the monster had disappeared immediately became nervous again after hearing the Hero's words. They once again gathered in the direction of the port.
The Kalmilla Archipelago was very big. Overall, it was not much smaller than the Forest of Confusion. Although Ryuga did not need to set up a high-level enchantment like the one in the Forest of Confusion, it still took him half a day to set up the enchantment.
In the meantime, in order to strengthen the authenticity of his words, he released the super dangerous species, Destaguru, in the place where it had disappeared. After a few minutes of battle, he deliberately let the other party "leave."
With this verification, the small voices of protest among the adventurers on the island completely disappeared, and the entire archipelago set off a wave of retreat.
Half a day later, Ryuga returned to the port.
"Lord Hero!"
The Thane kept wiping his sweat with a handkerchief as he came over to report his work. "I've contacted the nearby ports and asked them to bring all the ships here, but it's still not enough. So far, only about half of the people have been transported …"
"Gather the rest of the people."
Ryuga switched classes and took out Shangri-La. "I'll use the teleportation ability to send them away."
"Yes! You've been a great help! "
The Thane was immediately overjoyed, and then gathered the remaining adventurers.
Following that, Ryuga activated Shangri-La again and again, sending the adventurers to the Saiat Domain, the capital, and other places. If they wanted to go home, they could only rely on themselves. As for whether the demi-human adventurers would be targeted by slave traders when they were sent to the capital, it was not within the scope of his consideration.
Another hour later, the tens of thousands of people on the archipelago were finally transported.
The Thane also brought along the large amount of money he had accumulated over the years, and left the port with his servants on a ship, sailing in the direction of the mainland's coastline.
After this group of people left, it should help him increase his reputation, and this time it would definitely be the most positive evaluation. After all, in half a day, he had indirectly saved tens of thousands of people.
The sun was setting in the west.
After all the adventurers had left, Ryuga finally activated the barrier. A huge translucent barrier began to slowly rise from the surroundings of the archipelago, and finally covered the entire archipelago.
From the outside, it looked as if a milky white translucent bowl had been turned upside down over the archipelago, blocking everything from the outside. Only a faint flicker of light could be seen.
In this way, Ryuga and the other two occupied the entire Kalmilla Archipelago.
"Phew … Fortunately, the spiritual energy in the veins of this archipelago is very abundant, and during this period of time, my ability to create formations has improved. Otherwise, it would not have been so easy to build such a large barrier."
After the barrier was completely erected, Ryuga breathed a sigh of relief.
Thanks to the abundant spiritual energy in the veins of this place, the strength of the barrier could be said to be first-class. Although it was not at the level of the shrine, it was not much weaker than the barrier in the Forest of Confusion. It was just that it did not have the effect of causing people to lose their minds.
Ordinary adventurers would not be able to force their way in. Of course, those adventurers would not dare to enter. After all, Ryuga had told the public that she intended to seal the skeleton monster in the barrier. Anyone with a normal brain would definitely not want to be caught in the seal.
"Well, since the people who are in the way have left, let's get down to business."
Ryuga changed her class back to Archer. Then, together with Esders and Dotya, she rode on the Flying Dragon and headed to the surrounding main islands.
Not long after, the three of them arrived at the first main island. The monsters here were mainly some Violet Tuantuan, Magenta Frogs, Yellow Beetles, Cactus Worms and other monsters. Their levels were about the same as the first wave of vultures that appeared in the previous wave. They looked very weak.
After Ryuga killed it with a casual blow, a pop-up window with the words "EXP + 40!" appeared in front of her.
"Its strength is obviously close to the vulture's, but its experience points are twice as much as the vulture's?"
Seeing this, Ryuga could not help but raise her eyebrows slightly. "Is this the effect of activation … And now is not the peak of activation. After a few days, the experience points should increase by a lot."
Sure enough, it was the right choice to come to Kalmilla Archipelago directly.
"Let's go deeper."
Ryuga said to the two behind her. "The monsters here are stronger the deeper we go. The experience points will definitely be higher as we go deeper. Let's check out the situation on the island first, unlock some forms, and leave a mark here. After that, we'll focus on leveling up."
Esders and Dotya did not have any objections. The two of them followed behind Ryuga and headed deeper into the island.
As they ventured deeper into the forest, the monsters' strength and levels increased. Later on, the party even encountered a Level 50 Red Frog, which was about the same size as them. There were even corpses of adventurers who had overestimated themselves and ventured deep into the forest. After killing the Red Frog, the party received over 300 EXP.
As these monsters were all monsters that could be found in the outside world, their forms had all been unlocked long ago. So, the three of them did not absorb any of the monsters. Instead, they went deeper into the island.
After going for another kilometer, they finally encountered the monsters that were native to this island.
