Chapter 222: Sacrificing His Life and Kicking the Island
My heart was thinking about what the Fire Dragon King had said before, and the Fire Dragon King continued to talk about his own affairs on the other side.
"Since discovering this place, we dragon clan have protected it, the ripening time of dragon fruit is a hundred years, each dragon fruit tree can bear two fruits, and there are a total of ten such dragon fruit trees in that place, and now there is not much time left for the dragon fruit to really ripen, so I need your help for me to stay there and wait for the dragon fruit to ripen, can you do it?"
After hearing the words of the Fire Dragon King, my heart was throbbing, originally I thought that he would let me pick fruits, but I didn't expect him to let me go to guard the fruits, picking fruits and guarding fruits are completely different things, since I was asked to guard, then there will definitely be monsters to attack, and I can't leave there yet.
"Yes." I knew it wasn't going to be a good task, but I had to do it.
"You must be careful when guarding, recently as the fruit is close to ripe, a lot of Xiaoxiao came to peep, as time goes by, I think there will be a lot of monsters who want to come to a piece of the pie, your task is to guard there to prevent monsters from harassing, as long as you find that there are monsters to harass you, you will pull this signal flare, and then someone will naturally save you, but before the rescuers arrive, you must try to insist, your task is to keep at least ten fruits on the tree when the fruit is ripe."
Although it seems to be time-consuming, it's not difficult to think about it, I only need to look at five trees, but the key is that I can really look at those five trees?
"Please rest assured, the Fire Dragon King, the boy will do his best."
"Come with me." The Fire Dragon King took me to the place where it practiced before, and there was still only one ** there. Soon the dragon king stood in front of several large spars, and the spell in his mouth kept moving, and then a few rays of light from several large spars finally converged directly above the **, and slowly an oval red portal appeared, and the fire dragon king also stopped the incantation at this time.
"Human, it's up to you whether you can complete the task, the dragon fruit in this is something that our dragon clan has been waiting for a hundred years to get, if it is lost in your hands, I think you should know the consequences."
The tone in which the Fire Dragon King and I spoke was relatively friendly before, but this last sentence obviously had a bad taste. It's embarrassing to think that it's something that people have been waiting for hundreds of years to bury because of me.
I didn't say anything else, just nodded at the Fire Dragon King, took the flare from his hand, and turned and entered the portal.
After entering the portal, I found that this and the outside are simply two worlds, in the middle of the blazing land outside is an endless desert, and this place is indeed full of life, where I am now is a meadow, I stand on the grass and see a fiery red color in the distance.
I guess that's where dragon fruit is produced, so I walked over there. I didn't even see a small animal in such an empty place, I really don't know who started it.
Just when I thought I would do it in a peaceful atmosphere, I vaguely felt the air around me start to heat up. Is there a volcano here? I thought as I walked inside, and the more I walked inside, the higher the temperature around me, although not as high as the temperature of the Fire Dragon King's palace, but it was enough to make people sweat.
Slowly, I could see the plants in the distance, a double-pronged, tree-like object (not to be confused with real dragon fruit, those are two kinds of objects). The trees were red, and there was a red fruit on each of the forks that looked like a pineapple, and I could smell the scent from the fruit before I even got closer.
When I approached, I was really startled, next to this kind of tree turned out to be a magma lake, and the ten dragon fruit trees were in the middle of the magma lake, no wonder the Fire Dragon King said that this task will test my endurance, sitting in the middle of the magma lake without testing patience is strange, but how can I get there? Fire Dragon King: He can fly over and I can't swim over, right? I've never thought about swimming in lava.
In order not to swim in the magma, I walked around the lava lake for a whole circle, and finally I found an inconspicuous convex rock, can I cross it here? I didn't rush up to it, but looked in front of it, and finally noticed that there was a bump not far from it, and this bump could slowly continue to the central clearing of the magma lake.
In the end, I gritted my teeth, no matter what, let's go through it first, and hang it on if it's a big deal. Thinking of this, I jumped on the nearest convex stone, fortunately, the convex stone is quite stable, the only drawback is that the size of this convex stone is only the size of my feet standing there, as for the movement, don't think about it. I jumped down one by one, and in a short time I was in the middle of the magma.
When I was about to jump down, I was dumbfounded: "This is not scientific, I saw a convex stone just now, why is there no one." "I stood on the convex stone and carefully searched for the next convex stone, and after about a minute, a small convex stone came out from under the magma in front of me.
"I'll go, and it will be invisible?" Seeing this situation, I didn't rush to jump up, but looked at the situation of this convex stone, this convex stone stayed on the magma for about half a minute and then sank, what made me even more frightened was not only this stone, from this stone each stone is on the surface of the magma lake for a period of time and then sink, in order to be able to jump on this stone I watched for ten minutes, and finally found a pattern of these convex stones rising and falling, I found an opportunity to jump on the next convex stone, this time I did not continue to observe, Because the rise and fall of this convex stone did not give me a chance to observe, I jumped on the next one as the next convex stone rose, and then I jumped down one by one.
Soon I was only a dozen yards away from the shore, and victory was in sight, so to speak: "Damn, what are you doing?" How come there are no stones. "Just when the victory was in front of me, I was desperate to find that there were no convex stones in front of me, no, I saw stones just now. Just as I was thinking, the convex stone beneath my feet had begun to slowly sink downward.
"your grandma." I cursed and then jumped up, and the place where I landed was the next convex stone that I remembered before, and when I jumped into the air, I found that a convex stone was slowly rising under my feet, and in a panic I stepped on it. The body almost fell.
Now the convex stone is still only this one under my feet, as for the location of the next piece I haven't remembered for a long time, at this time I am only about ten yards from the island in the center of the lake, this distance should not be burned to death, right? I was thinking about it in my mind, when the convex stone beneath my feet began to sink.
"Death is death." Thinking of this, I gritted my teeth and jumped forward with all my strength, and just as I jumped up, I found that another stone had risen under my feet, but the direction of my jump was straight, and the place of the stone was indeed in front of my left, and I had no possibility of stepping on it.
As soon as I closed my eyes, I jumped into the lava lake, and suddenly a strong burning sensation rushed through my body, as if someone was roasting my body with a candle. (It's roasting not dripping, who missees himself facing the wall to go.) I didn't dare to open my eyes in the magma, I just swam desperately to the shore, and after a few seconds I drank a bottle of red medicine, and I didn't see the timing right, anyway, I drank it.
Soon my arm touched the stone, this should be the central island, my arm pulled my head out hard, at this time I dared to open my eyes, to determine if I had gone ashore, when I found out that it was indeed the shore, I quickly jumped up from the lake, at this time I could see the magma flowing from my body, the magma passed through my body and made the armor emit black smoke, I only stayed in the lake for more than ten seconds, but the durability of my equipment lost 10%, It seems that this magma swim is not easy to swim in. I guess if I swim a little longer, even if I don't get burned to death, I'll turn into a naked swim. Swimming naked in lava? Thinking of this, I felt a tightness in my lower body. I was also scared for a while when I thought about it, although now I stepped on the island, but it can be regarded as sacrificing my life to kick the island.
But fortunately, I still had more than half of my blood and blood left after I came ashore, and I was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, and just as I was sitting on the island, a countdown of time appeared above my head, a full five hours.
I took a few steps inside and sat down on the ground and began to recover, I had to get back to my best in the shortest possible time so that I could meet the attack below.
It took me two minutes to get my blood back to full capacity, and it was a very safe time. Then I got up and walked around the island, I needed to check what was going on around me so I could be ready for the battle.
Fortunately, this small island is not very big, there are only ten trees on the whole island, and I can see the situation in other directions through the gap between the trees when I stand on one side, which is a very good situation for me. In order to get a better view of the surroundings, I sat in the middle of the island this time, it was still very hot, and I really felt like sitting in the oven, I really wondered if I would be roasted in five hours.
Ten minutes after I stepped up to the island, I saw the magma on my right start to roll, as if something was about to come out, and there was no movement in the other three areas, so I quickly got up and walked behind a dragon fruit tree closest to the magma lake to check on the situation.
