Chapter 0126 Advancing Steadily
When the area became quiet again, there were no more fire creatures in the way. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The rock python dragged its heavy body and was responsible for patrolling around the perimeter, while Grim took off his shirt by the pool and walked naked into the pool of lava fire.
The tumbling molten magma soon flooded his ankles, calves, and thighs, and every time the churned magma bubble burst, it spat out a scorching stream of air hundreds of degrees high. But Grim continued to dive deeper, seemingly unconscious, allowing the thick, hot lava to engulf his body and head.
As the terrifying heat continued to pour into his body, Grim felt every cell in his body cheering. However, while the fire energy continued to soar, he couldn't feel the joy of the spirit jumping along with the flesh and body last time.
Seem...... This pool of lava and fire lacks a foundational element that allows it to continue its evolution.
Grim stood up from the fire pool and surveyed the area suspiciously. Finally, he couldn't help but ask: "Chip, analyze this situation." What is it that prevents the body of fire from evolving?"
In the next second, countless analytical information kept rolling in front of me, and finally disappeared one by one, leaving only the final conclusion in front of me. This pool of lava and fire does not facilitate the evolution of the Flame Body, most likely due to its lack of direct access to the core of an underground volcano. This is only a small area left after the retreat of the lava lake, which has lost direct contact with the lava core of the volcano.
It seems that there is no point in only wandering around the periphery, and only by going deep underground and finding the lava lake that connects to the core can he make his trip worthwhile.
However, a bath in this lava pool of fire is not without its benefits. Grim's mental power penetrated the viscous hot magma, and soon found something strange beneath the pool walls.
Grim walked to the southeast corner of the fire pool and used the hot force field to force away the nearby magma, revealing the scorching red walls. Grim handed the Flame Lord's Staff to his left hand, and his right hand condensed a raging fire-based energy and slammed into the soft pool wall.
When his right hand was pulled out of it, he clutched an egg-sized rock block tightly in his palm. As the surging fire energy continued to be injected, the outer layer of the rock began to soften like hot wax, revealing the dazzling red light of the heat wave inside.
An underground fire diamond!
The volume is only the size of a finger's belly, and depending on the color, it is only medium. It's just such an ordinary fire diamond, and it can be sold for a high price of 120 magic crystals when you get it in the secret law shop. And the wizard apprentice who went deep into the volcano this time only needed to hand over 5 similar fire diamonds to complete the task quota, and as for the rest of the harvest, it could be used as a private reward for the apprentice.
Since this place didn't help him much, Grim didn't want to stay here too much, hurriedly dressed and led the rock python straight to the next fire element concentration point.
Half an hour later, although the underground molten cave was still empty, there was a strange sound of slight footsteps.
A moment later, a vague human figure emerged in the steaming heat at the edge of the fire pool.
It was a young man with long brown hair scattered over his shawl, his face grim and grim, and his exposed neck was covered with strange and mysterious witchcraft runes, which added another strange smell to it.
He was one of the two alien would-be witches that Grim had deliberately marked.
As soon as he arrived in this lava cave, he was slightly stunned. As a quasi-witch, he has always acted alone, and has never disdained to be in the company of those rookies. With his strange stealth ability, most of the fire creatures can't detect his existence, so this also allows him to avoid most of the pointless battles and make it all the way here.
But from the shards of burning lava left behind by the lava dogs on the ground, the volcanic ash left behind by the death of the flaming imps, and the traces left by the large reptiles on the ground, he dared to conclude that someone had broken into this place.
Temorrah silently stood on the edge of the lava fire pool, and her spiritual power quickly scanned it inside, but nothing was gained. It seems that even if there is something here, it has become the trophy of the former one.
How could anyone be faster than himself? Could it be another would-be witch?
With the slightest doubt, Tymorrah had no choice but to change his route temporarily. He didn't want to eat some scraps after another strong man. Three months was enough time for him to dig up enough magic crystals here to sustain his consumption for two years.
…………
In the rest of the trip, Grim was no longer as timid as before, but became unrestrained and fanatical.
Standing high above the summoned body of the rock python, it allowed it to rush through one lava tunnel after another like a road roller. The passage is big enough to rush through. The passage is not big enough, and when the rock python squeezes through, it becomes large enough.
Anyway, in terms of the frequency with which the rock python repairs itself, a little body wear and tear will not cause any harm to it at all.
Those fire creatures encountered along the way, if they are small, they will run over directly, and if they are medium-sized, they will be smashed and then crushed. As for the desperate counterattack of these flame creatures, it can only add one or two insignificant small wounds to the rock python's rock body, and it can't stop its long drive and momentum at all.
And the flints or broken heart cores dropped by these flame creatures, Grim didn't bother to pick them up one by one, let the rock python swallow them all, and wait until the future when it needs to rest and slowly sift for it.
And for every point where the fire element is dense, there will basically be a large or small pool of lava fire. The only thing that Grim needed to do was to use his mental power to find the underground fire drills hidden deep in the rock formations or wrapped in the rocks through the sticky, hot magma.
Of course, there are also other magical gems or special metal ores that can be found occasionally.
So in the process of rushing all the way, Grim saw several other common fire creatures.
Fire spirits can be said to have the largest number of nature spirits in the volcanic world. They are usually humanoid flames that are more than a meter tall and can walk freely. With no eyes, ears, nose, or internal body organs, their bodies are completely made up of transpiring flames, and they are simply too far away from the lava fire pool.
For this kind of guy who has no entity and is just an elemental aggregate, the rock python can directly crush it with only its heavy and hard body, and it doesn't even save fighting. From this kind of poor bastard, Grim will not reap any spoils at all.
Salamanders are a fire-based monster that is flesh and blood, and like ordinary large lizards, they like to crouch in the shadows to sneak up on their enemies. However, in addition to their rough skin and thick flesh, the salamanders in the underground also have the ability to breathe flames, and they also have excellent fire resistance. They love nothing more than lurking at the edge of pools of lava and fire, waiting for fire creatures to trap themselves.
The high concentration of flint and consciousness cores in the body of fire creatures is their favorite delicacy.
Grim had already had a preliminary understanding of the volcanic world before he went underground. In order to save his time to the greatest extent, he entered this time and would not go out until the deadline. One of the most pressing problems to be solved is the problem of food and water.
In addition to the water bladder carried in the storage belt, Grim can also solve the problem by pooling the water element. Although he is a fire affinity, and this is also a lava volcano, it is very difficult to summon a water man, but it is still no problem to solve the problem of personal drinking water.
Then the rest is a matter of food!
Grim only carries enough food for a week. No amount of food can be preserved for a long time in such an extreme environment, and Grim can't feed on fire like a fire creature, so it is inevitable to find a new food underground.
And in the volcanic world, the only one with flesh and blood that can be used as food is this salamander. However, the salamander's flesh was tough and rough, and the blood was hot and bloody, and if it weren't for the fire energy soaked in it, which was very beneficial to the body, Grim would not want to abuse his stomach like this.
These small and medium-sized fire creatures are basically no threat to Grim, but the more powerful lava cubes and flame guards are difficult to entangle.
Lava cubes and lava dogs are basically two creatures made out of one mold, except that one is humanoid and the other is canine. In the face of the lava dog, the rock python can tear it apart with just a bump and a bite. But in the face of lava monsters, this set no longer works!
The Lava Cube is a humanoid fire monster with intermediate intelligence, and its body is covered with large and small underground volcanic rocks, and ordinary sorcery attacks cannot penetrate the hard rock armor. And it is an extremely cunning fellow, and will never be like a lava dog who can't tell the difference between strength and weakness.
Lava cubes like to cling to the pools of lava that they call home, and never let outsiders step into them. And its attack method is more similar to that of fire wizards, such as flint throwing, ignition, and firestorm, and other spells, which are endless. At every turn, he used overwhelming fire spells to turn the entire lava cave into a sea of fire.
Encountering such a crunched up and playing long-range, Grim could only command the rock python to rush into the pool of lava fire and play hand-to-hand combat with the other party. Although the rock python and the lava monster are both high-level creatures, the rock python occupies the advantage of size and is superior to each other's strength.
The two sides fought in an earth-shattering hand-to-hand fight in the lava fire pool, and the final winner would only be a rock python with a larger body, more strength, and higher physique.
However, after a dragon and tiger fight, the thick and strong body of the rock python also successfully lost weight. After all, it was just an earth-based demon puppet, fighting opponents of the same level in the opponent's territory, and just the immersion in the lava fire pool brought great damage to its body.
Therefore, every time a lava monster is killed, the thick body of the rock python rings must be slimmed down at least three times.
The Rock Python can still fight and win when it encounters the Lava Monster, but it becomes unpredictable when it encounters the Flame Guard.
