Chapter 143: Lava Behemoth (Second Update, Ask for Subscription)
Chapter 143
In front of everyone's eyes, there were dozens of fiery red eggs densely packed. Each one was the size of a basketball, and it was all over the ground, and at a cursory glance, there were at least sixty of them up. The eggs flickered and flickered, and something seemed to be breathing slowly.
Needless to say, everyone's breathing became heavy. Creatures that lay eggs in such a place don't have to think of only one thing. Anyway, everyone went into the mine twice, and only saw one creature, the fire earthworm. Apparently, this is a nest of fire earthworms.
Feel a strong desire to eat in your hand. Su Yuan had an urge to crush the heart of lava. The feeling is that this guy wants to eat, so he brought everyone here. However, the current situation is no longer a question of whether to eat or not. Because he had felt that familiar vibration, from far and near. And the direction is the direction they came from. This means that the road is blocked. The crowd has been eaten by another predator.
Fortunately, Su Yuan was able to quickly find other exits through echolocation. But across the soil layer dozens of meters thick, Su Yuan could feel the angry emotions of the fire earthworm. Creatures in nature always have the greatest malice towards those who invade their nests.
The entire mine was trembling, and Su Yuan felt that the thing seemed to be adjusting its direction and trying to block them. As an underground magical creature, the fire earthworm may have its own tracking system, and Su Yuan and the others have already been targeted. And to fight it in such a fragile mine is undoubtedly nonsense. Su Yuan thought for a moment, and suddenly made a move that surprised everyone. He threw the lava heart out of his hand and threw it at the eggs of the fire earthworm.
A shrill chirp was heard, and the fury in that voice could be heard even by anyone who could not speak. The ground where the heart of lava touches has begun to melt. A lava giant slowly stood up, wrapping all the eggs around him in his body.
The fire earthworm gave up blocking Su Yuan and the others, broke through all the blockades all the way, and rushed towards his lair. And Su Yuan and his party ran outside lifelessly.
As soon as they stepped out of the cave, they heard a spreading cracking sound. When I looked back, I saw that the entire mountain had begun to collapse. At the same time, the earth began to tremble, and it seemed that the active volcano was intensifying its activity.
"Keep running, don't stop."
Everyone fought hard and ran out of a safe distance, and when they looked back, a fantasy scene appeared. Under the action of some internal force, the mountain exploded with a bang. A lava giant more than thirty meters tall, with a black 'giant python' with a diameter of nearly two meters and a length of more than a hundred meters, rolled out of the shattered mountain.
I don't know why, the first time he saw that picture, Su Yuan regretted that he didn't have a mobile phone in his hand and couldn't take pictures of that shocking scene. As for the others, in the face of this kind of picture, they basically can't even get out of the groove. After all, they live in an era when magic is almost extinct, but now everything is tearing apart their three views.
During the battle, Lava Heart seems to have finally shown its strength as an elemental creature. The cracked mountain, when it touched its body, melted directly, and then turned into a giant armor. This makes its body even larger. And although the fire earthworm is a mutated xenomorph, it is a flesh and blood creature after all. The most embarrassing thing is that its strongest flame power, facing a lava giant is simply adding blue to the opponent.
It turns out that the flesh and blood body is basically completely inferior when facing this elemental lifeform. Personally, the mutated fire earthworm is not necessarily inferior to this immature lava heart. But the restraint of life's traits renders it powerless. The other party devoured all of its offspring, and seemed to have absorbed a large amount of pure fire elemental power. At the same time, it is a battle inside an active volcano. The lava behemoth has taken over all the time and place.
The fiery red lava arm directly tore apart the fire earthworm's body. A burning blood flew in the sky. The fire earthworm struggled to escape. But the lava arm grabbed its head. The other hand grabbed its body. With the strength of both hands, a piercing scream came from the fire earthworm's unknown organs. But the voice soon faded.
The fire earthworm, whose head had been torn off, fell to the ground weakly. The lava giant, on the other hand, roared in the sky, as if celebrating his victory. Then its body gradually stiffened, as if the heat had been drained in an instant. All that was left was a flash of fire in his chest, and a red gem that had more than doubled in size fell.
This made Su Yuan breathe a sigh of relief, the battle just now made Su Yuan see the potential of this thing. If Su Yuan is lost, there may be some heartache. But now that it's not lost, it's very much to celebrate. He walked over, picked up the heart of lava that had regained its calm again, and began to inspect the harvest.
The so-called harvest is undoubtedly the huge body of the fire earthworm. The skin of this item is resistant to the slash of the Valyrian Steel Sword, making it a perfect material for armor or shields. It's just that as soon as Su Yuan approached the fire earthworm, he felt that something was wrong.
He reached out to stop the others who were trying to follow, and then gently approached the 'corpse' of the fire earthworm. A slight vibration came from the fire earthworm. Su Yuan didn't hear the heartbeat, maybe this thing didn't have a heart at all. But Su Yuan heard a slight squirming sound. That undoubtedly meant that there was still some movement on the corpse. Or rather, the fire earthworm is not dead.
Su Yuan just wanted to draw his sword and mend the wound of the fire earthworm. I saw that the muscles that were only slightly squirming suddenly moved violently. Su Yuan watched the huge fractured wound and the muscles squirmed rapidly. The entire exposed abdominal cavity was blocked.
Although the argument that you can continue to move if you block the abdominal cavity is very nonsense. But the fire earthworm in front of me is doing this unscientific scene. The wound was mended by the wriggling muscles, and the body, which was already stiff, moved again. Then its original tail suddenly cracked, revealing a shape similar to that of its head. To put it simply, the tail turned into a head, and then, without knowing what earth power it used, it quickly burrowed into the ground, leaving only a lone original 'head' about six or seven meters long.
