Seeing the food that Carl was going to eat today, Hope and Nia came over with blushing faces and kicked Carl twice.

But rather than kicking, it was more like flirting.

Mitris, who had just finished developing her animal eyeliner, muttered "stick" under her breath, then turned her head away, no longer paying attention to this side.

After a while, Carl finished processing the ingredients and started cooking.

High-end ingredients often only require the simplest cooking, but as an adventurer with decent cooking skills, Carl has his own unique insights in the field of barbecue.

After beating the venison steaks repeatedly with a hammer and then simply marinating them with salt and spices, Carl set up an oven and roasted the steaks on charcoal made from fruit wood.

The aroma of oil dripping on the fruit wood mixed with the aroma of protein emitted by the Maillard reaction, and soon, the sounds of chewing and praising were heard in the camp.

Carl mixed a few cups of deer blood and antler wine with deer blood and antlers, and drank it all. He felt a warm current flowing down from his throat and finally reached his dantian.

He knew it was an illusion, but that didn't stop him from having a couple more drinks.

"Alright! Drink this and don't drink any more! What if someone from Ruiyi Draco comes to attack us?"

Nia and Hope held Carl on the left and right, fearing that there would be a tough battle tonight, so they took away Carl's homemade tonic drink without saying a word.

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you!"

Holding Hope and Nia's slender waists, Carl was about to continue eating the meat, but he saw Ying had roasted the bluegills and kidneys of the stag that he had carefully cleaned repeatedly before, sprinkled with a lot of spices and handed them to him.

Sanwu's face vaguely revealed an excitement of "either you die or I die tonight", as if he was planning to put an end to the contest that had lasted for several months today.

"You always surrender before Hope and Nia, so why did you hand these things to me? You are so naive and playful!"

Although he made such comments in his mind, Carl still took the food that Hope and the others would never eat with a smile and started eating it in big mouthfuls.

He ate very quickly, and the hot feeling spread from his lower abdomen to his whole body.

At this moment, Mitris beside her suddenly spoke.

"By the way, do you want to play some Spirit Cards tonight? We spent the whole day yesterday traveling and guarding against attacks by wild beasts. Let's have some fun tonight."

Hearing this, Hope and Nia, who were sitting in Carl's arms, blinked and then showed some interested expressions.

Without further ado, the two of them left Karl's arms, taking with them a bewildered look on his face.

It seems that they really intend to play Spirit Cards all night long tonight.

Although they were more prepared to let Carl, who had been driving all day, have a good rest while they would keep watch all night, but Carl, who thought he was full of energy and had eaten so much nourishing food, was a little bit frustrated.

"We will be on guard tonight, Carl, you should have a good rest! See you tomorrow!"

Gently taking over the task of cleaning, Nia pushed Carl back to the bed of the truck.

Taking a deep breath, Carl lay down on the reclined seat, folded his hands on his lower abdomen, and tried to fall asleep.

But the conversations of the people outside the car seemed particularly clear at this time. Listening to the laughter of Hope and others, Carl tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

'How about playing a few games with them?'

Feeling that his body was not sleepy at all, Carl stood up from his chair and opened a dimensional bag that he rarely opened.

This dimensional bag contains some things that are not often used, such as Carl's own Spirit Card deck, the climbing rope he made when he was stranded in the underground city, and some other miscellaneous items.

However, just as Carl reached out to take out his deck of cards, a flash of golden light suddenly appeared inside the dimensional bag.

The platinum key that Carl and Hope obtained from the giant mine cart in the dungeon actually floated out of the dimensional bag by itself.

The giant runes and various strange patterns engraved on its surface began to glow, and the dazzling light shot out from the carriage, illuminating the surroundings as if it were daytime.

Noticing this, Hope and the others immediately stood up and ran towards the truck.

But suddenly, the range of the golden light suddenly expanded, and the spherical area with a radius of dozens of meters was suddenly included in it.

Immediately afterwards, the spherical ball of light flew straight towards the Lonely Mountain Tornado in the distance.

The special space of Xen'drik caused the trajectory of the golden light to jump to other locations, but the ball of light became faster and faster, and finally turned into a ball of flowing light that repeatedly shuttled through the area near Lonely Mountain.

After repeating this process countless times, it finally arrived at the area where Lonely Mountain actually existed, and then crashed into the eye of the storm.

As it disappeared, the violent wind tornado covering the lonely mountain began to gradually weaken, and finally completely dissipated in the air.

The unique black rocks of Lonely Mountain were exposed again, and the lava and giant relics hidden within them were also revealed.

Some adventurers who happened to be nearby witnessed this and quickly returned to Storm Bay, trying to sell the news for a good price.

…

Time goes back to the present when Joanna and others learned that Lonely Mountain has changed again.

In a certain area of ​​the Elemental Plane of Air, the earth that was previously wrapped in a ball of light is now floating in the boundless sky, in a free fall that will never end.

This is a phenomenon unique to the realm of air element, where the direction of gravity is biased towards idealism.

If it is a dead object, it will only move due to the airflow and the reaction force of the object it hits.

At this time, inside the truck, Carl, Hope, Nia, Shadow, and Mitris were rolled into a ball, with Iris lying beside them. Three iron ants were stuck between the seats, motionless.

When the unusual incident happened before, several people had already run into the car under the golden light.

As the golden light enveloped the surrounding space and rushed towards Lonely Mountain, they fainted due to the continuous acceleration of the light ball.

Nearly two days had passed and everyone was still in a coma, unable to wake up.

The air currents from outside blew on the truck, making a humming sound from time to time.

Suddenly, Carl, who was held by four people, trembled slightly.

Once, twice, finally, the pair of eyes that had been sleeping for two days finally opened again.

A golden light flashed across the orange-red irises. Carl looked at the people around him and asked in confusion, "Ah?"

After a while, his confused mind finally remembered what had happened.

Looking up again, Carl looked at Midris who was also hugging him, and his mood was a little complicated.

"I never thought that this girl would compete with me normally, but when I got into trouble, she didn't stand by and watch. Hmm~, I'd better not cheat her in the future. I'll make her a cape with the remaining fur of the displacement beast."

With a slight sigh, Carl carefully separated himself from the crowd.

After checking everyone's breath, he frowned, then quickly took out the healing potion made by Nia from his dimensional bag.

As the red liquid was poured into everyone's stomachs one by one, the few people who were in a coma began to show different degrees of reactions.

Suddenly, Mitris opened her eyes.

"Well--!"

After taking a long breath, the girl, whose entire body except her internal organs and brain were made of prosthetics, woke up again.

At this moment, she was also in a state of confusion and at a loss, until she saw Carl standing beside her, her mind began to gradually recover.

"We, what happened to us?"

As soon as he asked this question, Hope and Ying also opened their eyes.

When Nia and Iris woke up from their coma, Carl pointed out the window and said with some emotion: "We are probably teleported now. As for how we got here, it seems that the giant's key was stimulated by something."

As he spoke, Carl picked up the adamantium key that had fallen to the side.

At this moment, the key seemed to be activated. The engraved runes and circuit board-like patterns were flowing with orange-gold light like lava, making it look extremely luxurious.

This is completely different from its previous situation which was full of nouveau riche style.

Pulling the chair to stand up from the ground, Mitris looked at the world outside the car window, her brows gradually furrowed.

"Where have we been teleported to? Is this still the main plane?"

Outside the car window, the boundless sky stretches to infinity.

The sky is generally blue, but because of the obstruction of clouds, the blue sky looks a little whitish.

However, the current problem is that this situation not only exists above, but also below.

There is no horizon at the limit of the field of vision, but instead it seems like a sphere that encompasses everything.

"This is probably the plane of air. I've read in a book that it's rumored that the space here is almost impossible to explore to the end. It's the first place chosen by hermits and solitary mages to live."

Looking at the situation outside, Nia, who was the most knowledgeable, gave her own opinion.

"Why are we here? Could it be because of the influence of the Eternal Furnace?"

After taking a look at the key in Carl's hand, Mitris asked in disbelief.

She had handled that key before, but apart from the fact that it was made of pure adamantium, she didn't find anything special about it.

However, it was this thing that actually brought them to the elemental plane of air after feeling the call of an unknown object.

What is the principle behind this? What did the giants create back then? Just as he was about to say something, Iris on the side said, "Not only that, I suspect we are now in a huge private chamber of Mordenkainen. I just tried and found that I couldn't teleport!"

Hearing this, Nia was stunned for a moment, then took out her wand and tried it.

Sure enough, the surrounding space seemed to be restricted, prohibiting any creature from teleporting away.
