Chapter 1257: Doomsday Volcano (5)

Most of the people's impressions of volcanoes come from video materials such as television and photographs, and from time to time, you can see scientists wearing full heat-insulating suits and leashing to prevent them from falling, frantically trying to collect data in the crater of an active volcano.

After all, the temperature of lava is as high as 1200°C, which is already comparable to the large steelmaking furnaces of modern industry, and you can imagine what it feels like to stay near this thing.

Thanks to the fact that this is a magical world, the temperature regulation function provided by the equipment on An Yizhi's body, and the fact that he used spells to cool himself, can barely continue to move forward, and after more than ten minutes, An Yizhi has to use the salamander's engraved book to protect himself from the heat.

As he passed through a cave, there was a volcanic lake hidden deep in the rocks.

Bubbles and a strong smell of sulfur were piled up underneath the lava, yellow, red, white, and relatively low black made up the basic color of the lava, and the heat was high enough to burn people to ashes in an instant.

A bridge-like boulder sits across the lava lake, just enough for Ann to pass through, otherwise he'd be dead.

The lava in the Doomsday Volcano has the ability to break spells, and if Ann's finger falls, whether it is activating the Feather Fall Technique or using the Dragon's Wings to fly upwards, it will not have any effect, in fact, it is now difficult to resist the heat with the Salamander's Engraved Book alone.

This stone bridge dozens of meters long must be passed quickly, and the more you stay for a second, the more serious the loss of mana, after all, the salamander's engraved book is easy to use, but the mana consumed is also extraordinary.

But the appearance of the stone bridge really can't reassure An Yizhi, this kind of naturally formed bridge may collapse at any time, especially when he is halfway through, a violent shaking comes, An Yizhi still thinks that he has fallen.

The doomsday volcano is about to erupt, and a short earthquake is just a precursor.

An Yizhi knew very well that he had to hurry, considering the time limit of the dungeon, he didn't have a total of a few hours left to wander around the volcano, and besides, his magic couldn't last a few hours to be active in the volcano.

Having passed through the blazing lava lake without danger, Yasuchi re-entered the tunnel, breathed a sigh of relief and continued to walk towards the deeper tunnel under the light of the Luminomy.

Having said that, just the endless wasteland formed after the lava cools down has the effect of eliminating magic, and the lava of the doomsday volcano that is still active has a powerful spell-breaking effect, so why didn't Vaolek throw the pages of the book directly into the magma and kill a hundred?

And it's obvious that the pages are still there, otherwise the Shadow Order wouldn't have come all the way.

In fact, it's not that it can't be done, it's useless.

The pages of the Book of the Dead cannot be destroyed, as recorded in Hela's database.

After defeating the Great Lich in the 20th year, the heroes tried all kinds of ways to destroy the pages, but to no avail, and the pages that looked like just a few old pieces of paper on the surface were very strong, even using the doomsday lava that can destroy the artifact, it could not erase its power.

Vaolek placed the pages of the book in Mount Doom, and Ann guessed that he had three things to consider.

One is to rely on time to let the pages slowly decay in the volcano of doom, even if you can't destroy the pages for a while, there will always be some way to do it after a long time.

The second is to wait for the doomsday volcanic eruption.

Mount Doom is very special, and its ability to break magical items when it erupts will be more powerful than ever, and even gods will not be immune if they are caught in the eruption of Mount Doom.

Of course, this is just a legend, and there is no actual basis, and it is estimated that Vaolek did not predict when the Doomsday Volcano would erupt, whether it was really as dick as the legend.

The third is the hidden purpose.

The pages of the Book of the Dead are indeed dangerous, but there is no shortage of desperate people for the sake of power, and the Book of the Dead will be coveted by many.

Mount Doom is an excellent hiding place, completely insulated from any prophecy and voyeurism, and it is impossible to find it even with the resonance between the pages.

In general, Vaolek is very thoughtful, if the Doomsday Volcano can destroy the Book of the Dead, even if it doesn't, as long as it is hidden here, it will be difficult to be found.

But this also caused considerable trouble to An Yizhi, if it wasn't for the system giving the main quest, An Yizhi would have thought that Vaolek threw the pages directly into the magma, and now the ghost knows where it is floating in the magma.

The deeper you go, the less rocky parts of the surrounding environment become, and the more lava seeps out.

An Yizhi also saw a passage made of huge transparent rock, who knows what it was, but it could actually block the heat of the lava, making An Yizhi feel like he was walking through an underwater tunnel in an aquarium.

The difference is only that there is hot lava flowing slowly everywhere up and down, left and right, and once the ceiling collapses, An Yizhi will definitely be gone.

Under normal circumstances, if you don't use a high-power spell in a cave, you are afraid of being buried alive, but you need to be more careful when using spells here, maybe it is not as easy as being buried alive, and it is possible to be directly forced to be cremated.

After another ten minutes, after seeing the various wonders inside the volcano, nearly an hour had passed since An Yizhi entered the volcano.

The consumption of mana is a little larger than expected, but fortunately it is acceptable, and the most comfortable point is that there are no indigenous monsters living here inside the volcano, and I don't know if they also feel that the volcano is about to erupt and flee, or if they don't have it at all.

An Yizhi didn't see any trace of the ghost woman and the shadow demon, they should still be in the front position.

Compared to An Yizhi, the hometown of the Shadow Demon is in the abyss, and the demon's endurance for the hot environment is much better than that of An Yizhi, but the ghost woman is not good, it is estimated that even if he is not killed by the heat, he will have half a life left, and he is not afraid after catching up.

In this extreme environment, it is indeed a good thing not to have to use your hands, not only to retain the magic but also to prevent the magma from erupting.

The problem is that when Ann Yizhi passes through a tunnel full of finely broken diamonds, there are four forks in front of him......

- Higu!

When the barbarian said that the route in the volcano often changed, An Yizhi had a very bad premonition, but after walking into the volcano, he didn't see a fork in the road for an hour, and he was very glad that his premonition was wrong, but he didn't expect the result to be the same maze as always.

Even if the fork in the road is not much compared to the ruins of the ancient elves, it is really disgusting to come here when it is time to race against time.

An Yi pointed at the light technique and stood at the fork in the road and carefully observed, hoping to find some clues to prove which way was right.

As a result, he found a dried pale green stain of blood under the wall of the second fork in the road on his left.

This is the blood of the ghost woman, and looking at the shape, it is a casual dripping bloodstain.

The Barbarian tribe had previously said that they had a fight with the Oni and Shadow Fiends, and it seemed that he had not only killed two of them, but also inflicted heavy damage on the others.

Judging from the amount of blood, the injured ghost woman estimated that the injury was not light.

Of course, with the cunning level of the Shadow Fiend, it is also possible that the blood was deliberately left behind by the Shadow Demon to confuse the pursuers, but considering that this time it is pure enemy and self-defeat, even if the Shadow Demon is careful, it is impossible to be careful to be suspicious all the time.

Besides, An Yizhi had no other way but to follow the fork in the road where blood stains appeared.

Continuing to move forward from this fork in the road, there were several forks along the way, but because of the blood stains of the ghost woman that appeared from time to time, An Yizhi was not without a direction to go.

Having said that, Ann always felt like the Shadow Fiend was familiar with the environment, or that he knew where to go.

The bloodstains only appeared in one tunnel, and there were never two tunnels, indicating that the Shadow Demon who led the team had not turned back, which was absolutely impossible for a creature who had stepped into the intricate pipelines of the volcano's interior for the first time.

It was a small suspicion, but before Ann could think about it, he saw an ugly creature lying on the other side of the passage.

It's a ghost woman.

Worried that it would be a trap set by the Shadow Demon, An Yizhi cautiously approached, and when it was about 10 meters away, he took out some miscellaneous items from his dimensional pocket and threw them over, confirming that she did not react, and then took a closer look.

This ghost woman's lower abdomen, there is a deep wound on the ribs, which looks like it was cut out by a large sharp weapon, and it is estimated that it was the hand of the barbarian before.

It hung up completely at this point, and in the heat, the corpse seemed to be somewhat steamed, and the blood had completely coagulated. It is estimated that after entering the volcano, under the action of high temperature and wounds, this ghost woman really couldn't hold on, and died here.

It's a good thing that the enemy has one less helper, but now An Yizhi has no signpost to continue to guide the way.

Ignoring the corpse of the ghost woman, he continued to move forward, and came to a fork in the road at a three-junction, and now he didn't know which way to go, because the ground was full of hard rocks, and there were no traces of footprints or anything like that, so he couldn't continue to track it at all.

An Yizhi was also quite scratched his head about this, and finally had to choose a way that had no choice.

- Blind ** walk.

There's a one-third chance of getting it right, and there's no other clue anyway, so maybe it's the one that just picks a path to follow, which happens to be the one from the Shadow Fiend?

In fact, it turns out that An Yizhi is still overestimating his luck and overestimating the one-third accuracy rate.

Not long after he chose a fork in the road and walked forward, he saw another fork in the road, and it was still a fork in the road......

Since losing the clue and starting to walk blindly, it has been five or six forks in the road, and the situation at the intersection ranges from 3 passages to 8 passages, so that you can also happen to walk to the route passed by the shadow demon, An Yizhi should immediately go offline to buy a lottery ticket to try, maybe you can win the jackpot.

And what is more disgusting than the route is that the Doomsday Volcano is about to erupt, and various earthquakes emerge one after another, and most of the time, once an earthquake occurs, An Yizhi can only squat on the ground, hoping that the surrounding lava will not splash him.

The shaking seemed to be even more intense this time, and An Yizhi was about to inject magic into the salamander's engraved book to guard against lava, but he felt that his feet were empty at the same time, and the whole person fell down uncontrollably......
