Demon King: Hero, don't run away!-Chapter 1147 - 1148: Handling Aftermath

Bai Jin and Corola each conducted a thorough exploration of the island according to their respective adventure groups' intentions, making it difficult not to encounter each other.

Out of courtesy, Corola greeted Bai Jin and inquired about her situation.

Bai Jin truthfully informed Corola of her findings, and Corola also shared her observations with Bai Jin, including the fact that the Dragon God's Might was seriously investigating the Goblin Emperor's lair.

The two exchanged areas for reconnaissance, and after confirming that there were no more traces of the Evil Dragon's offspring, they each returned to their teams and relayed all their observations.

"For now, we haven't found any other traces of the Evil Dragon's offspring, and the Dragon God's Might came to the same conclusion as us...

The leader of the Dragon God's Might encountered one offspring of the Evil Dragon, but it managed to escape...

The Dragon God's Might is currently investigating the Goblin Emperor's lair. We can trust them to handle it..."

Listening to Bai Jin's report, Yang Yu tried to piece together various fragments like a puzzle, but ultimately couldn't assemble a complete picture.

The Dragon God's Might are not opportunistic people.

When they went to investigate the stronghold of the Raging Dream, they displayed the vast majority of the clues they had collected prominently, clearly explaining how they conducted their investigation and what their subsequent plans were. It was evident that they genuinely wanted to eradicate the Evil Dragon.

The Dragon God's Might are well-established. Even if they discovered any spoils, they probably wouldn't hoard them but would distribute them as rewards to calm the adventurers as much as possible.

Yang Yu nodded and said to Bai Jin:

"Bai Jin, thank you for your hard work.

Leave the matter over there to them.

We have some things to deal with here and will likely be busy until evening.

You should prepare for the upcoming meeting with the Dragon God's Might.

I expect I will have a long conversation with their leader."

Picking out a few fragments with different writing from the debris pile, he stored them in the system, and Yang Yu stood up.

He would investigate where these special scripts came from to uncover the origin of this island.

However, based on the scenes he saw now, Yang Yu already had a bold guess in his mind.

—This island might be a part of the Village of Heroes.

With no more Evil Dragon's offspring on the island, Yang Yu organized the team to handle the aftermath.

This expedition had heavy casualties, with over one hundred and fifty participants, leaving less than sixty survivors.

Many adventurers perished under the attacks of the Evil Dragon's offspring, their bodies reduced to ashes, leaving nothing behind. Survivors could only heap soil at the places where they had died, inserting wooden boards and carving words to show respect.

For those who did find bodies...

Fellow teammates could choose to bury them on the spot, cremate them into ashes, or freeze the remains and take them away.

If everyone in a team had perished with no survivors to recognize them, others could only cremate the remains and bury them on the spot.

Those responding to the rallying cry, except the S-Class adventure group Island Drifting, all experienced some casualties and mostly chose to freeze their fallen comrades to transport them home for burial.

It wasn't only the members of the Raging Dream and the two S-Class adventure groups following the Dragon God's Might who died during this task.

Days before the Dragon God's Might mobilized, an S-Class adventure group from the Teren Republic patiently made a small hole in the Barrier, sending people onto the island for reconnaissance, planning to sneak away and monopolize the rewards for slaying the giant dragon.

The Goblin Emperor exploited their greed and overconfidence in their abilities, sending a "wounded" Evil Dragon's offspring to lure them step by step into an ambush, annihilating them all.

The Goblin Emperor left almost no traces of his actions. The news of that S-Class adventure group's disappearance was relayed to Glantham by the Dragon King.

Busy with handling matters, Yang Yu and his team finally got everything sorted before meeting the Dragon God's Might on the beach.

As the sun set and darkness gradually engulfed the island, many adventurers' faces were full of anxiety.

Even though it had been confirmed that the Evil Dragon and its offspring were no longer on the island, there was still a lurking fear in their hearts that they might return, catching them unawares.

The atmosphere on the beach was strange, a kind of indescribable anxiety and suffocating feeling leaving many with stern expressions.

A few laughed to encourage those around them, but their optimism wasn't enough to dispel the oppressive atmosphere.

Before officially boarding the ship, Corola used ancient Light Magic to illuminate the dim beach.

The leader of the Dragon God's Might, Glantham, stood in front of everyone under the light. He summarized the day's events, expressed sorrow for the deceased, regret over the Goblin Emperor's escape, and informed everyone about the dragon's compensation.

When Glantham finished his speech, an adventurer raised a hand high and questioned Glantham:

"Regarding the Evil Dragon's identity as the Goblin Emperor, I want to know if you, the Dragon God's Might, knew about this in advance?"

Glantham closed his eyes to think for a moment before nodding heavily and explained:

"This was to avoid unnecessary panic.

We also overestimated our abilities. Our apologies, it wasn't our intention to deceive you.

If anyone feels deceived, allow me to apologize, and we will offer you some tangible compensation."

The members of the expeditionary team exchanged glances without saying more.

Even the Dragon God's Might felt it was tough, confirming that performing the Super S-class task of slaying the giant dragon wasn't easy.

Some wanted to complain, but considering "all of us together aren't their equal," they held back their complaints.

When the speech ended, everyone started to board the ship.

The Dragon God's Might promised to transport the adventurers to the nearest adventurer guild, deliver the task, and distribute rewards accordingly.

Yang Yu stepped forward, greeted Glantham, and boarded the Dragon God's Might's ship with his companions.

Lingshan wanted to follow Yang Yu and join him on the same ship but was stopped by Lang Yi:

"Originally five ships have become two now.

Uneven distribution of combat power will make those on the other ship anxious.

Their likely crucial conversation with the Dragon God's Might has weight...

Not disturbing them is the best help we can provide.

If they trust us, they should also approach us for discussion."

"You're right." Lingshan paused and then headed toward a different ship from Yang Yu's group.

When all the survivors were aboard, the two ships gradually left the island.

Waiting silently in the ship's cabin with his companions, Yang Yu pondered how to persuade the Dragon God's Might and clarify his demands.

As time ticked away, when the small ship smoothly entered its course, the Dragon God's Might's Linglu Huakai appeared in front of Yang Yu and his group, inviting them to the conference room.
