readx; Compared to the underworld of the Dark Crypt, the lava caves here are more dangerous and terrifying. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The lava tunnels here are the fissures and lava flow pipes that have been opened in the solid mountain after intense geological activity, and there is a great deal of uncertainty in them.

Maybe you're walking through a crimson passage and you're scorched by a sudden stream of flaming air that blows through a crack in the side wall. It is also possible to make a wrong step and fall into a bottomless rift and fall into a bone-eroding pool of lava and fire.

Although the volcano has gradually entered a period of respite, in some parts of the world, intense geological activity still exists. If the rumbling subsidence happens right next to you, you're likely to be squeezed into a meatloaf sauce by a cave that suddenly closes or a misplaced rock formation.

Therefore, when walking here, it is more important to pay attention to the stability of the rock formations around you.

Absolute safety does not exist, and every apprentice must be careful not to be caught up in by sudden geological changes.

The danger is not only in the volcanic geological fluctuations, but also in the alien organisms that live in this area. Fire Spirits, Lava Dogs, Lava Monsters, Salamanders, Flame Imps, Flame Guardians...... There are only a few dozen fire creatures with names, and the rest of the unknown xenomorphs are even more difficult to count.

These fire-feeding creatures have made the volcano their home, building a unique food chain in this molten world. At the top of the food chain are naturally terrifying molten giants. They are like a group of flame giants with extremely high intelligence, and they have terrifying elemental abilities that are not weaker than those of human wizards.

It's a pity that their living habits are too dependent on the environment, and without the volcanic world, their power will continue to decline. Therefore, the molten core giants all inhabit the deepest part of the underground volcano, which is difficult to see from the outside world. It can be said that with the ability of the wizard apprentice, it is not enough to enter the deep area of the volcanic world, so it is impossible to have any intersection with them.

And in the volcanic world, the bottom of the food chain is probably the pesky flaming imps. They resemble a goblin in appearance, except that their skin has turned red. They have no flesh either, but are the product of a combination of an Origin Flame and some shattered consciousness.

They chirp through the lava tunnels, looking for areas with a high concentration of fire elements. They will also spontaneously attack any outsiders who enter the area, and they will do so in the form of a simple flaming arrow. Once they find that they can't beat their opponents, they will jump into a pool of lava fire or a stream of scorching flames, and then run somewhere else in an instant.

Once the Treasure Hunter lets a Flame Imp go, it doesn't take a moment or three for him to be overwhelmed by hordes of Flame Imps.

But these flaming imps are outrageously poor. Destroy them with all your might, and you'll only be able to harvest a pile of volcanic ash, and no other loot. At this point, the cost performance of the Flame Imp is far inferior to that of the Fire Spirit. Although the fire spirits are also at the bottom of the food chain of the volcanic world, if they are destroyed, they can still get some broken elemental cores, which is much better than the Flame Imps having nothing. dudu1;

The Flame Imp has Fire Arrows and Fire Teleportation, and is a difficult elemental creature if placed on the outside world. But in this volcanic world where the general fire resistance is so strong that it is perverted, their strange abilities are basically ineffective against other fire creatures.

That's why they're at the bottom of the food chain!

Instead of choosing to go with the others, Grim took it upon himself to burrow into a lava tunnel and quickly walk down the slope. There are never straight roads, no regularly shaped passages, everything is hovering according to the terrain, and there are many forks in the road.

The volcanic world is like a giant beehive, with rough roads and connected passages and caves one after another. Walking in it, without a way to identify the path, it is easy to get caught in a maze until you run out of food and water.

But Grim certainly doesn't have that problem. Even as he went deeper and deeper into the volcanic world, his flesh and blood became active and restless, excited by the richness of the fire elemental particles here. Even if he didn't hold up the elemental protection here, the misty red light that lingered around his side would not be able to hurt him, but it would bring him considerable benefits.

However, for the sake of his demeanor, he still had to hold up the high-temperature force field to protect his clothes from being ignited by the high temperature here. He's a human after all, but he doesn't have the habit of running like a flame creature!

There was no map, and there was no need for a map, and Grim did not hesitate at all before the hundred and ten forks in the road, striding all the way to the depths of the earth. And what guided him was the concentration of fire element particles in the air! He didn't come to hunt for treasures, but to "take a bath" here, so where the fire element particles were more concentrated, he would go.

The rough and winding road might have deceived him, but the fire elemental particles floating in the passage did not, so he came to a small pool of lava fire with almost no deviation.

It's not the depths of the volcanic world, it's just a natural depression. As a result, when most of the molten magma retreats back into the ground, a small portion of the lava is trapped here, forming a small pool of lava fire.

At this moment, a group of flame imps and a lava dog are gathering here, floating in the lava fire pool, happily watering their bodies with hot magma.

Among these monsters, the status of the lava dog is obviously higher, and it occupies nearly half of the space by itself. The rest of the Flame Imps could only squeeze into the other half, never daring to get even half a step closer to the Lava Dog.

Seeing the humans suddenly emerge from a passage, the more territorial Lava Dog was the first to leap out of the lava fire pool, blocking Grim's path, leaning slightly, opening the mouth of the fiery flames, and letting out a menacing roar. dudu2;

This is the Lava Dog?

Grim stopped, his black pupils glistening blue, scanning the inner workings of the strange creatures in front of him.

It was a flame creature the size of an Earth tiger in a previous life, and its body was mostly made of semi-molten hot lava, and its body was surrounded by scorching churning flames. As the lava dog opened its jaws to threaten Grim, the hot lava that flowed from between its fangs and teeth carved holes into the floor in front of it.

This shows that the magma in its body is already more terrifying than the magma of nature, and the fire element contained in it is more intensely corrosive.

Moments later, the biological information scanned by the chip was projected into Grim's mind.

Lava Dog, a semi-elemental creature unique to the underground volcanic world, strength level: intermediate apprentice, body data: strength 9 agility 13 physique 10 spirit 8, individual ability: fast running, flame jumping, flame spitting, ferocious bite.

Some of this biological information was analyzed by scanning the body structure of the lava dog, and some was supplemented by book materials. As soon as the information of the two was fused, all its secrets were immediately presented to Grim in a complete manner.

Such a lava dog, although the chip is marked with the strength of an intermediate apprentice, but in this special environment, it is still difficult for an ordinary intermediate apprentice to handle it.

Just as Grim quickly parsed all the secrets of the Lava Dog in front of him, his silence had completely angered the other party.

The powerful lava paws stomped on the floor, and the dog's muscular body swooped down in the air and slammed into Grim's improvised flame shield.

There was a dull loud thud.

The Lava Dog grazed the flame shield and flashed to Grim's side, its heavy, muscular body reorienting itself with a single twist and lunging at it again. At this time, the four extremely striking and profound claw marks on the flame shield had not completely disappeared. dudu3;

The Lava Dog has crashed into the Fire Shield once again!

This time, the flame shield could no longer withstand the attack of the Flaming Claws, nor could it withstand the impact of the heavy body of the Lava Dog, and exploded into a sky of flame debris with a thud.

With the swing of the Flame Lord's staff in Grim's hand, a new flame shield projectile emerged, bouncing off the attacking Lava Dogs.

Grim frowned, it seemed that the primary flame shield was no longer suitable for the current combat intensity. Even a normal Lava Dog can break it in less than two turns, so it's conceivable that the flame shield is not much stronger than a soap bubble when encountering stronger fire creatures.

The Flame Shield is an upgraded version of the Flame Shield, and its protection performance is more than five or six times stronger. Grim stood still, allowing the Lava Dog to attack with his hands and feet, and it took nearly ten rounds to consume the flame shield to the point of collapse?
