Chapter 89: Volcanic Eruption (Part II)
Heatham stared at the firelight of the distant Lilte Mountains and fell into deep thought......
It wasn't long before the volcanoes of the Llierte Mountains erupted with intense energy, like fireworks, illuminating the Lulte Forest at night as if it were day.
However, after only a short moment, a thicker black smoke obscured the white light, allowing only occasional light to shine in the direction of the Lierte Mountains.
In the thick black smoke, the volcano spewed out unmelted magma in all directions, and the scattered magma seemed to form a falling meteor shower, falling from the sky.
The energy emitted by the eruption was enormous, and these scattered fragments of magma were accompanied by strong kinetic energy, and Sistemm even found a red magma fragment flying down from more than a thousand kilometers away within a hundred meters of him.
Sistemm faintly heard a few faint dragon moans coming from the Lilte Mountains, but the black smoke from the eruption was so thick that he couldn't see what was really going on in the Lilte Mountains.
"Ora, Lord of the Glacier? With its power it can completely stop this, what is going on here? ”
Sistem's mind was full of doubts, he didn't know what was going on, looking at the magma fragments that fell from time to time in the air nearby, Sistemm didn't wait, and decisively ordered his ant people to return to the underground nest.
While there is still a danger of another earthquake in the underground lair, the magma blocks that fall from time to time in the sky are undoubtedly an even greater threat.
……
After setting up the ant people in their underground nests, Systm flew over the forest with the little ball of meat, and he was the first to observe the village of the Frost Goblin Giants, who also belonged to the Winter Legion.
However, after searching for a while at an altitude of several hundred meters, Sistemm did not see the shadow of half a frost goblin giant.
The shattered trees and shattered ground had been shattered by the earthquake, and Syst could not find any trace of it in the snow of the forest.
With the exception of a few butterfly larvae crawling on the moss of nearby trees, Heatham spotted only one squirrel staring curiously above a branch at the fire and black smoke of the Lierte Mountains.
"Father, fire."
Compared to Sistum's worries, Little Meatball's mind was much simpler, and it still didn't understand what was going on, thinking that Sistm was keeping his promise to take him outside to play and fly.
Ignoring the words of the little meat ball, Heatham watched the black smoke gradually pouring from the Lierte Mountains in all directions, and Heatham used his [Tool Menu] ability to calculate.
Based on the current rate of smoke dispersion, it is estimated that in 7 or 8 hours, the location of the Systm will be enveloped in smoke from the eruption.
Stretch out your tentacles, grab the small meat balls that are flying in the sky, and move sideways in the air-
A few seconds later, a fragment of fiery red magma, nearly a meter in diameter, fell from the side of Systm and the little ball of flesh.
Sistm's [intuition] was as accurate as ever, and he managed to dodge a fatal crisis with the little ball.
But no amount of precision his [instincts] could change the situation that Sistemm was in.
After continuing to patrol the air for a few more laps, Systham and the little ball returned to the lair, and now all he could do was take refuge in the nest with his ant people, all waiting for the eruption crisis to pass before he could continue to think about it.
Aftershocks on the ground, though occasional, were extremely minor, and Heatham and his ant people began to repair the underground nest further.
The entire nest was not very badly damaged by the earthquake two meters before the surface.
The temperature was still about -20 degrees Celsius below the half-meter deep snow, and the loose and damp soil was very hard from the cold, so the empty nest close to the surface was not too damaged.
However, at a depth of two meters, the temperature is not so low, and the loose soil is not very solid, causing most of the empty rooms inside to collapse, and some of the empty rooms where food is stored have also been buried by the mud.
All Systham had to do now was to get the Ant People to dig the empty chamber back into the ground as much as possible, so that there would be plenty of room for the Ant People to rest.
As for the large number of empty chambers in the top two meters, although they can be inhabited, they are not safe in the face of hot magma blocks falling from the sky.
……
However, just as Systm was directing the ants to carry out their work, he suddenly felt an inexplicable feeling of dizziness, and he seemed to become extremely sleepy.
Heatham found that Shava had fallen to the ground and fell asleep.
However, except for Sava and him, none of the other ant children and the little meat ball in the anthill were in a state of vertigo.
Swallowing the drowsiness in his head, Systham handed over the rest of the work to the brightest of Blacks, and asked the ten worker ant riders to obey Black's command.
After that, Systham fell asleep......
……
……
By the time Systham woke up in the empty room, more than thirty hours had passed, a full day and a half, as shown in the [Tools Menu].
The entire nest was quiet except for the noise of the ant people, and the aftershocks from the eruption and the sound of falling lava blocks from the sky seemed to have completely stopped.
Heatham's tentacles smelled the foul smell of gunsmoke, and it seemed that after a day and a half, the black smoke from the eruption had indeed arrived.
I just don't know how much damage this black smoke will do to his ant people......
Reaching out to inspect his body, Heatham looked at Shava, who was still asleep next to him, and pondered the reason why he and Shava were unconscious.
In the past few days, Systham and Shava have not eaten any special food, nor have they done any strange things, and it is very strange that they have entered a coma at the same time.
But soon Sistrem noticed something unusual, and Sistemm looked at his chest and at the exoskeleton of Shava's left shoulder.
"Gone ......"
Syst muttered to himself as he opened the self-information function in the [Tools Menu] to check it out.
……
Title: "Xenomorph Insect".
……
His title, Winter's Legion, has vanished like the diamond-shaped frost pattern attached to his chest.
It seems that he and Sava fell into a coma because of the sudden escape from the Winter Legion.
Heatham used his tentacles to perform a simple examination of the unconscious Shava, and found that Shava was estimated to be in a coma for another day or two before waking up.
And the reason why he was able to wake up so quickly was because the talent [Numerical Code] made his body semi-digital, and the disappearance of the title would not have much impact on him.
According to the personality of the frost dragon Orra, he will never take back his and Shava's "Winter Legion" title at the same time.
Thinking back to the sudden burst of magma from the Lierte Mountains and the faint sound of dragons at that time, Sistemm felt that Ora, the lord of the glacier, had either disappeared again, as he had been three hundred years ago, or had died.
Abyssal Demons, Old Druids, Winter Legion, Erupting Volcanoes......
Thinking back on the uneasy feeling he had felt over the past few months, Systham realized that there must be something hidden in the forest, and he didn't want to take the ant people with him to mingle in it.
Whatever turned out of the matter, it would never be wise to stay in Lilte now, and he was going to leave here with the Ant People.
