Suddenly, a loud "boom" echoed, causing thousands of people present to scream in terror.

Ye Fei and others such as Hua Shan quickly turned around to see the third mountain of the Six-Finger Range slowly collapsing.

"Rumble, rumble!" The ground shook and the seas rose and fell violently, while the five ships below the cliff swayed side to side.

"Bang, bang!" Countless rocks of various sizes fell from the cliff face onto the rescue ships, or plunged into the tumultuous waves.

The people at the edge of the cliff were already so frightened that they screamed incessantly.

"That mountain is being eroded by the flames!" exclaimed Hua Shan.

Ye Fei quickly shouted into the loudspeaker, "Everyone, don't panic, we can evacuate."

However, Ye Fei's calls failed to reach the ears of the extremely frightened crowd.

Worried that the chaos would lead to a large-scale stampede, Xie Xiaofeng quickly cast Yin Yang Five Elements Magic, calling forth countless tree roots and vines from the ground, wrapping around each person's feet.

"Ah!"

Upon realizing their feet were entangled by strange vines or roots, the crowd let out even sharper cries, and even the nearby police officers and civil servants responsible for maintaining order were shocked.

"It's okay," reassured Hua Shan to an unfamiliar police officer, "These vines and roots are just to prevent riots, they won't hurt anyone."

The police officer nodded blankly.

"Campus Hero, the boats have arrived, what should we do next?" asked Hua Shan, looking at Ye Fei.

Ye Fei gave Hua Shan a cold look, then used Qinggong to soar forward, eventually hovering above the five rescue boats.

"Look! That man can fly!"

"My God, am I dreaming?"

"That's not flying, it's Qinggong!"

"So Qinggong really exists!"

..

The attention of the crowd was captured by Ye Fei.

Then, Ye Fei closed his eyes, and a faint blue Merperson Power began to flow out of his body, enveloping him.

After a while, the Merperson Power around Ye Fei had expanded into a huge sphere, hanging in the sky like a blue moon falling from the sky.

Seeing this, more than six thousand spectators were stunned.

Suddenly, a column of Merperson Power shot down directly from that pale blue sphere and into an open area of the sea.

After that, an unexpected scene unfolded—the seawater beneath the cliff rose, lifting all five ships up onto the cliff.

"Splash, splash!" Waves lapped over, soaking the feet of more than six thousand people.

"It's Ye Fei using his Merperson Power to push those boats up the cliff!" Xie Xiaofeng exclaimed with his mouth agape.

Having said that, he quickly came to his senses!

Now was not the time for admiration, but to quickly arrange for the people to board the ships.

"Let the elderly and children board first." Xie Xiaofeng said as he untangled the vines and roots binding the elderly and children.

Ye Fei rushed back and worked with members of the Superpower Organization to organize over a thousand elderly and children to board the ships.

"Let us go!"

"We want to board the ship too!"

"Hey, release us, we want to board!"

"The mountain is collapsing, do you want us to die?"

Watching as the elderly and children boarded one by one, other people whose feet were still entangled with roots and vines grew anxious. They cursed at Xie Xiaofeng and Ye Fei, with some even spouting lots of foul language.

Xie Xiaofeng was inwardly pleased, grateful for his foresight in using roots and vines to tie these people's feet beforehand, otherwise, the scene would undoubtedly be chaotic.

He wasn't angry at the public's curses. He knew that people are selfish, especially in life-and-death situations.

Ye Fei, the Campus Hero, also shared Xie Xiaofeng's thoughts. He had grown up amidst the skepticism and accusations of the public.

After all the elderly and children boarded the ships, Ye Fei walked to the cliff and closed his eyes.

Two minutes later, the seawater beneath suddenly rose sharply, eventually forming a stable slope that began at the cliff and ended outside the gap on the eastern side of Calabash Fairy Island.

Staring at the inclined sea surface, everyone was once again dumbfounded.

Then, the five ships carrying over a thousand elderly and children sped down the inclined sea surface. It was frighteningly dangerous, but ultimately, all five ships safely made it through the gap.

Having witnessed this process, the remaining four thousand villagers on the cliff couldn't help but clap and cheer.

"That's great, our children have been saved!"

"It's so unbelievable."

...

After a wave of admiration, someone suddenly asked: "The five ships can only carry a thousand people at a time; that means at least four more trips are needed."

"It's our turn to board the ships next!"

"It should be us!"

"No, it should be us! I invested in and developed the tourism projects in our town!"

"But you've also made a lot of money from them!"

...

Seeing the villagers' argument becoming increasingly heated, Ye Fei grabbed a megaphone and shouted, "Everyone quiet down and listen to me!"

The crowd gradually fell silent after a while.

"Who said those five ships would come back?" Ye Fei continued, "They've already taken the elderly and children away. They won't return."

"Ah!" The crowd was stunned.

"What are we going to do?"

"You must be joking!"

"Listen to me!" Ye Fei raised his voice again, "Doesn't everyone have a swim ring or a life jacket? Then hurry up and put on your life jackets and swim rings, and remember to check them carefully. Later on, everyone will slide down this inclined sea surface, rest assured, there will be people down there to receive you."

"Ah!" The people let out a disappointed sigh.

"Why do the elderly and children get to go by ship, while we have to slide down ourselves?"

"Right!"

...

"We don't have enough ships; this is the best solution we could come up with!"

Xie Xiaofeng said irritably, "If you don't want to, then stay behind, we've done everything we can."

At that moment, with a loud "bang," the second mountain of the Six-Finger Mountain also collapsed.

Without the second mountain's blockade, the Purgatory Fire, like magma, slowly flowed down from the high ground toward Hualien Town.

Seeing this, the crowd let out panicked screams.

"Let us go, we need to get down!"

"Quickly! The magma is coming!"

...

The villagers were urgently requesting.

"Xie Xiaofeng, quick!" Ye Fei, also getting anxious, watched the lava draw nearer.

Xie Xiaofeng first untied the roots and vines from beneath one group of people, allowing them to slide down the inclined water, then proceeded to the next group.

Ten minutes later, all the villagers had slid down the inclined water to the sea outside the gap and were then pulled up onto the giant ships by soldiers.

However, the range of the Purgatory Fire had already spread to the entrance of Hualien Town.

"What should we do?" Ye Fei asked anxiously, "It will take a long time to pull everyone onto the ship!"
