Chapter 880: Tracking
The situation in front of him was something that even Jeno had never imagined.
He only knew that Kogas would grow in size quickly when he ate, and who knew that he would in turn shrink his body by shedding the shell of the golden cicada, and flee away from abandoning part of his body.
The creature was more intelligent than he could have imagined, making it even more unlikely that Jeno would let it go.
"I'll go down alone, and you'll all be wearing it on the boat. Sarah pulls the boat, take care to keep the communication open, I will send you as soon as I have news from the ground. ”
Jano answered Sarah in a non-relenting tone, then jumped out of the deck and flew towards the hole.
"Stay safe, don't go too far alone." Cana called out, saying what she wanted to say for Syndra. Jeno was going to a dangerous place they couldn't see, and they couldn't help but be worried.
"I'm measured." Jeno made a gesture and plunged headlong into the wind.
He came to the entrance of the cave, the pale substance hanging on the wall of the cave was not as active as before, and the fluttering tentacles reached back into the process of hardening.
Few people know the means to fight the Void, and one of them is to starve it. If there is no organic matter or nourishment from magic nearby, the Void will grow slower until it eventually goes into hibernation.
Just like the Black Death, it always raged for a while and then suddenly disappeared. That's because infected people die faster than the virus spreads, and it can't be spread if the transmission route is cut off. Therefore, as long as people stay away from the Void Land, the spread path of the Void will always be disconnected.
But the Void does not sit still, and for centuries it has tricked many mortals into answering its call.
It is precisely because of this that every once in a while, void creatures of the level of Kazik and Kogas appear in the wasteland of Acacia to invade the material realm.
The Void is never satisfied, and it is forever eager to encroach on the entire world.
There was a pungent smell in the air, like the burnt smell of burning hair. Jeno rubbed his nose in disgust, letting the crystals cover his body, and then slid the near-vertical walls of the cave into the depths of the earth.
Not worried about his slippage, Jeno slipped into the underground world of Acacia, where the Void Creations gathered. In fact, it is still dozens of kilometers away from the border of Acacia, and the direction of the cave is not to go that way.
After sliding for a while, the walls of the cave flattened and Kogas dug horizontally in a certain direction.
With no references, Jeno didn't know exactly where the cave was going, and could only remember that it was roughly within the northeast direction.
Picking up the communicator, he asked Shala to fly northeast with the Abyss. After the ship departed, the fog once again covered the gray forest of death.
Kogas was digging fast, and Jeno walked along the dark cavern for a while and still didn't catch up with it. He stretched out a pulse, briefly illuminating the entire passage, and still didn't see Kogas. Even if the shape of its forelimbs is perfect for digging, digging faster than he can go is outrageous.
Sure enough, the Void creatures are monsters in every sense of the word, and they can easily make moves that are far beyond human imagination.
Of course, there are also reasons why Jeno does not dare to venture forward, and every step he takes is to make sure that it is safe and correct. Even though Jeno had been swallowed by a monster before, after seeing the substance in Kogath's body that could dissolve everything, he tried his best to avoid being swallowed by Kogas, who might be lurking in the shadows.
After continuing to follow up for some distance, Jeno noticed that the temperature in the cavern had risen significantly, and he could feel a burning heat of agitation when he touched the rock wall.
In Ryze's words, the surrounding fire elemental became stronger.
Kogas: Is this a volcano?
With doubts in mind, Jeno continued on his way, and it wasn't long before the environment in the cavern changed dramatically.
An orange glow appeared at the end of the cavern, the sultry air was mixed with the smell of sulfur, and a deafening roar was heard.
The voice...... Could it be? ”
Jeno was shocked and rushed to the end of the cave, shocked by the scene in front of him.
Stepping out of the hole that Kogas had dug out, it suddenly dawned on him that he was in a wide cavern at the bottom of a volcano.
In the center of the cave is boiling magma, and bubbles like molten iron continue to explode, blooming into scorching earth fire. Even just standing on the edge, Jeno was warm enough to boil a raw egg.
Jeno had a platform in front of him to settle on, but he didn't jump off because Kogas was standing on top of it. Its appearance is the same as before, except that its size has shrunk significantly.
However, this also means that it will be more hungry.
Corgas held his head up, his long, narrow eyes staring up, and Jeno only glanced at it, and he could see the feeling of thinking in his eyes.
Looking in the direction of Kogath's head, Jeno saw an adult elemental dragon hovering low above the volcano's interior. The dragon's body length is nearly 100 meters, and its scales are dark red, indicating that it is the master of the fire element, the same kind of Sivana.
Now it roared at Corgas again, the same roar that Jeno had heard in the burrow. It's just that for some reason, this time it got closer, and Jeno actually heard a trace of sadness in its angry voice?
What happened?
"I found a fire dragon in Kogas in a volcano, you should be able to find it by looking for the nearest mountain."
"Received, don't be impulsive, wait for us mua~"
Jeno finished reporting his location and began to hide in the shadows to observe the situation.
Obviously, Kogas dug into someone's house.
But what Jeno is puzzled about is that the elemental dragon's territorial awareness is not very strong?
Then why didn't these two behemoths fight?
Rather, one hovers above, the other waits below, and confronts each other in the air?
Soon, he understood why.
The core was running at high speed, and Hex's energy pulsated in Geno's veins, and the blue in his eyes grew brighter and brighter, and with this, his gaze pierced through the air distorted by the heat, and he keenly noticed that a white flake had fallen from Kogath's feet.
The flakes were curved and covered in a crystalline, viscous liquid, and it was clear that they were the remnants of a broken dragon egg. And judging from the evaporation of the slime, I'm afraid that this dragon egg has just shattered.
The answer is self-evident, Kogas has already eaten one of the she-dragon's unborn children, and it's no wonder that Jeno hears a mournful roar.
But as Corgas turned his body a little, Jeno realized that it was much more than that.
In its claws, it still held an intact dragon egg and did not eat it, which is also the reason why the fire dragon has a long-range attack method such as flame breath, but it has not launched an attack on Kogas for a long time.
The she-fire dragon is not afraid of Corgas, what she is really afraid of is that she will hurt her only remaining dragon egg!
