Chapter 954: Fire Elemental Plane (7)
Chapter 954: Fire Elemental Plane (7)
In the past, there was either me in the lead or we joined forces, but there was never a battle that I couldn't help at all.
Even if it is an unstoppable divine punishment descending into the world, we just watch the cutscene and end it, and directly receive the mission reward.
This time, it's really different.
Of course, I can only passively watch the cutscenes, and at the same time, pay attention to the Ricardian around me.
The Tyrannosaurus rex didn't seem to have woken up yet, lying in the palm of my hand, squinting at my eyes, and I didn't know if it was dizzy or asleep.
Ricardo was still holding the Flame Queen's hand, which had been burned red slightly, but still didn't let go.
I calmed down, unhurried, and even watched the cutscene a little leisurely.
But there's nothing to see about it......
The prisoners were like a bunch of mentally ill people, who stood still at first, then became manic, and then shook like a convulsion.
After shaking for a while, these prisoner souls slowly changed from pale orange to a silvery-white transparent state, and then, they did not move again.
It was really boring, but I didn't dare to disturb Leo, so I had to look around to kill the time.
Speaking of which, the internal structure of this lava beast is also very problematic - a large mouth is a cavity more than 100 meters long and wide, there is nothing else except the whisker plate for filtering food, a two-meter diameter throat, there are no extra organs in it, only a prison for various spirit bodies, and the whole looks like a hollow specimen.
However, this guy is a devouring beast that terrifies fire elemental creatures.
In essence, it is similar to those mutated parasitic demonic beasts in the wood elemental plane, and they are all unreasonable existences in the plane.
They are different from the genetically variant species on the earth, because the genetically mutated species are mutated in order to adapt to the new environment, and the organisms that cannot adapt to the changes will become extinct, and those that adapt to the changes will in turn have a certain impact on the environment and change part of the ecology...... And these mutated monsters, to be precise, are infinitely proliferating creatures, just like cancer cells that proliferate in an organism.
According to Leo, there is something wrong with Pasettal, the Elder Treant who is attached to the giant tree of Caspar, but it seems that nothing has happened to him yet......
At this moment, Leo is carrying out a purification ritual in the body of the lava giant beast, or rather, he is giving chemotherapy to this "cancer cell". And these "bleached" prisoner souls seem to have returned to normal cells, no longer raging and restless, although they still look a little sluggish, but they seem to be slowly regaining consciousness.
According to the Flame Queen's previous description, the lava behemoth is an extremely dangerous and unstable factor, bringing chaos and danger wherever it goes on the fire elemental plane, and these devoured spirits, according to Ricardo, are actually much luckier than those geyers in the spirit plane.
However, I don't quite believe that it was attracted by the flames of the Tyrannosaurus Rex, so I have to find a reason, saying that it happened to pass by, or, simply, the plot arranged for it to pass by - the fire elemental plane and the water elemental plane are both flowing liquids, the overall shape is unknown, and the area is so large that no one can fathom it, so that it can accommodate these huge guys.
Having said that, there is nothing to watch in a play, and I can't even find anything to do to kill time, so I have to continue to guess, no, it's reasoning.
At the moment we were still unable to move, and there was no discomfort other than that, even Ricardo's hands were getting redder and redder, indicating that the flow of time was quite normal, not like bullet time.
I couldn't help but shout tentatively, "Ricardo." ”
Ricardo did not react at all.
I was even more puzzled in my heart, so I could only suppress it for the time being, continue to wait, and guess while waiting.
The protective shield on my body was still there, including the hand of the prisoner that I hadn't taken away, but I didn't feel the temperature too high, indicating that Leo still divided some of his energy to maintain our protective shield.
In other words, he has the ability to be distracted while dealing with so many imprisoned souls!
His strength is actually very strong. Even if it is not as good as the high priest Dragonger, it should be about the same as the first sage Angelica.
As for me, it seems that I have become a lot stronger, but there are still many shortcomings.
Speaking of which, his strength is really worthy of the "protagonist halo", and the speed at which he becomes stronger is also worthy of the adjective "hanging".
To be honest, it's impossible for me not to envy him, it's just that standing on the same front, having such an open teammate, or rather, he is my plug-in, I have to say that it is a kind of luck.
As for fate or plot arrangement, saying that my fate would not change without him and so on, it can't help but scrutinize - even without him, the truth of this world would be like this, and I will only be an ordinary person, a small character, in that way, it will become another story......
Thinking like this, time passed little by little, and seeing that more than half of the imprisoned souls had been purified, the body of the lava giant beast shook violently again.
I almost forgot that the lava behemoth was facing an attack from the fire king squid—a good time for the Ricardo to mention, but a danger to the lava behemoth.
Of course, with the chaotic and furious nature of the lava behemoth, it should not be aware of this kind of crisis, and internal and external troubles will only make it more angry.
Regardless of the situation of the King Squid, Leo's side is almost finished, and the lava behemoth is facing a one-sided ending.
And for us, as long as we solve it and go out to deal with the king squid, it shouldn't be a big problem, after all, this king squid doesn't look like it will devour the spirit, just looking at the timing of the king squid's shot, you can guess that the hostile state between the two is not fighting for food, but the relationship between hunting and counter-hunting.
Of course, this is all my guess, if the king squid is also a guy who is good at devouring spirits...... Then I can't guess, after all, Leo must have consumed a lot of money at that time, and we didn't have a corresponding countermeasure.
Of course, it's also possible that at a critical juncture, the phoenix will reappear - if so, I can only say that the plot is really getting more and more bloody.
However, I vaguely feel that the plot is better not to guess like this......
"Click!"
A crisp cracking sound interrupted my thoughts, and I saw a clear crack in the silvery-white "glass" on the other side, and in the center of the crack was the source of the hand holding my right corner.
At this time, I realized that all the prisoner souls in my field of vision had evolved completely.
"Click...... Click...... Click......"
The rift continued to expand, soon spreading more than ten meters, and at the same time branching out into multiple branches, which spread and branched out more, depicting an ever-expanding spider web.
The purified prisoners, who had been stunned and motionless, opened their eyes as if they had woken up from a dream after hearing the continuous cracking sound.
Hundreds, thousands, thousands of spirits, humanoids, beasts, birds, fishes, trees, grasses, flowers, and even invisible slimes opened their eyes and looked at us.
This "much-anticipated" scene really makes people's scalps tingle......
However, in their eyes, there is no longer the light of the violent chaos before, on the contrary, there is more rationality and calmness.
"Click, click!"
When the sound of shattering was so dense that it was connected, thousands of prisoner souls suddenly stretched out their hands and pushed the silver glass in front of them.
They also want to break through the cage in front of them.
This time, they succeeded.
"Phew! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! ”
The silver glass covered with cracks was finally completely shattered by the attack of thousands of imprisoned souls!
At this time, the hand that held my right corner also shattered into powder, and it fell down, merging into the magma floor at my feet.
At the same time, I was finally able to move again.
"Be careful!" I hurriedly put up a protective shield and surrounded the three of us.
"Yikes!" A deafening howl erupted from thousands of imprisoned souls, and the sound made my mind dizzy, but the shock was far less than the previous soul attack, and I recovered with ease.
At the same time, thousands of prisoner spirits rushed like beasts out of the fence, frantically rushing towards the place where we had entered.
"Saved!"
"Run!"
"Free!"
"Saved!"
"Wow, wow, wow!"
"Roar, roar, roar!"
"Quack!"
"Woooooo
The extremely noisy sound once again filled my eardrums, but I could hear the joy of escape!
The prisoners scrambled towards the narrow throat of the lava behemoth, and we were already near the exit, but now we were forced to the other side by these disembodied creatures.
"Hoo ......"
A long gasp was in the chaos, exceptionally clear, with a hint of tiredness.
"Done?" I say.
"Well, it's not too cool," Leo said, "it's the first time I've had such a good fight!" ”
I said, "But no one has seen you fighting, not even me." ”
"It doesn't matter," said Leo, "I've passed the stage of pretending to be thirteen, and from now on, the matter of pretending to be thirteen will be left to Ricardo...... Yo, are you all holding hands? ”
Ricardo was still holding the hand of the Flame Queen, his hand already burning red.
In fact, both of them were already awake, but they were both attracted by the situation in front of them.
"Don't you see? It's been tied up a long time ago. I said.
"I was busy watching the fight outside...... Leo said.
"By the way, how's it going out there?" I asked, "What happened to that king squid?" ”
"King Squid...... Hehe, this guy is a little sane, but it's also an evil camp that loves to devour souls. Leo said.
I realized that my guess was wrong, and hurriedly asked, "Aren't these spirits in captivity ......?"
