Chapter 997: Fierce Battle for Ziyan (31)
At the same time, in the East African plateau, the underground palace of the Jilimanjaro volcano, the center of the earth.
"Oh, you must be joking with me!" exclaimed Albert.
After they had walked through a huge cave system full of traps and ambushes, they had thought the road ahead would be a little easier. But as soon as the tiger turned a hallway, he was immediately dumbfounded by the road ahead.
There should be a cave in front of them, but the cave is a hundred times larger than the previous one, and there is no cave wall or ceiling to be seen, and there is only endless darkness in the distance.
In a huge lava lake covered with purple lava, there is the only "mountain" that is tall and tall. And the strange purple lava is constantly flowing down from its peak, into the lava lake.
While it wasn't clear if this purple lava was as dangerous as the previous pillar of purple flame, Albert couldn't feel any heat while he was in the cave. This kind of lava is probably also the type of heat concentration that is not emitted, which means that they are probably very hot, and anyone who falls into the purple lava lake will definitely die.
What's even more bizarre is that there are countless floating islands floating in this cave. Tens of thousands, large and low, made of volcanic rocks as hard as steel, wonderful floating islands.
Similar to the Thunderstone Floating Islands of the Thunderstorm Plateau in East Africa, but with subtle differences, the bottom of these floating islands is covered with a mixture of purple and azure crystals, allowing them to float steadily in the air, seemingly unaffected by gravity.
Occasionally, a few floating islands lost their buoyancy and slowly fell, and the moment they touched the purple lava, they suddenly floated again, as if they had been scalded and had to continue to float.
"I see... Those dragonstones have mutated. They provide energy to the light stones, allowing the floating islands to float. Chanel guessed as she looked at the marvelous sight.
"But where do they get their energy? I can't feel the heat?" Albert was skeptical.
"Exactly from which lava. Chanel looked at a slowly sinking floating island: "Every time the energy in the floating island runs out, the buoyancy of the light stone will fail, and the floating island will sink." However, the moment the dragonstone crystal at the bottom touches the surface of the lava, it immediately draws energy from the lava to charge the lightstone crystal, and so on and so on and so on. Well....... what a wonderful construction. "Is it full of energy the moment you touch the lava? What a terrible recharge rate, and what an astonishing recharge efficiency! But Albert has seen so many strange things lately that he's starting to get a little tired of seeing them.
"At least, the floating island hasn't evaporated when it hits the lava. This proves that those purple lava are not as terrible as the purple pillars of fire. Albert emboldened himself: "Anyway, let's go." "What is there to Albert, there is something hidden in that mountain, and it is the purpose of their trip. As long as you climb that mountain, the answer to the qiē will be revealed.
"Walk, walk in?" Elaine looked at her feet tremblingly. They were on the edge of a cliff, and beyond that was the lava lake. Although you can "ride" those floating islands and climb up to that mountain little by little, it is estimated that it will be a thrilling journey along the way, right?
"Don't you dare to meow? Albert jokingly patted the White Bear Man on the shoulder: "Then let's go and get the treasure, you guard in front of this cave and be in charge of the palace? It's just meow, the other teams are probably about to arrive, right? You are also responsible for dragging them and fighting them." Can you beat Bedwell's meow?" "Uh, I don't, I don't want to fight Bedwell...... "The white bear has a difficult face.
"Then follow along. If it can't be solved by force, it can only be solved by speed. The tiger jumped out without saying a word. His lifeless leap was unavoidable, and Albert landed firmly on a floating island opposite.
"It's just a game of death. Chanel also jumped out and landed next to the tiger.
As if unable to bear the weight of two people, the floating island began to sink.
"Wow!" frightened Albert sprang out and looked for another floating island to settle on.
"Don't concentrate on the same floating island!" shouted Albert as soon as he gained his footing, "Let's spread out and go our separate ways!" "Are you sure it's a good idea? Look Elaine—" Chanel glanced at the young bearman.
"Uh...... Elaine was even more nervous as her teammates stared at her. He was panicking at the edge of a floating island, and because he hadn't jumped hard enough, he almost fell off the floating island and into the lava lake below.
"What are you doing? You can transform, little fool. Albert reminded.
"Uh?—oh, yes!" the White Bear Man remembered that he was able to transform into a White Dragon Man to break the siege. His body changed instantly, the clumsy white bear's body immediately shrank, and a pair of dragon wings grew on his back.
Although the wings are sealed at the moment and the power cannot be used for flight, their propulsion cannot be ignored. Elaine flapped her wings a few times, and with the help of the propulsion of her wings, she climbed up to the floating island.
"Scared, scared to death. The stupid white dragon man pinched his sweat, and his naïve appearance was even worse than when he was in the form of the white bear man.
"Elaine, how long will you be in this form, long enough for us to climb that hill and meow?" Albert asked, slightly worried.
The white dragon man touched his wings: "Yesterday, yesterday I had a good night's sleep, there should be no problem." "That's fine. As long as you can take care of yourself and don't have to worry about us. Let's go. Albert jumped over to another floating island beside him.
"Don't force it, okay?" said Chanel, the elven girl, as she leaped towards another floating island. Although she said that she was going to spread out, she tried to stay within ten yards of the floating island where Albert was, so that they could take care of each other. And her purpose in doing this is also to let Elaine know to follow this way and maintain the coherence of the team.
Not only do they have to fight the death traps in the environment, but they also have to race against time to reach the top of that mountain. Elaine, who originally had the greatest physical advantage, was a coward and a little clumsy, and it was already good not to worry about him, and there was no way to expect him to help.
All in all, the Alberts are still in a bad situation, and even if they are the first candidates to arrive here, this trial is still not a sure win. But the Tiger's team did leave the other teams far behind, and if he was careful, he would have been able to win in first place.
However, will things really go so smoothly?
Bediwell watched from afar as Albert was on the way on the floating island, while the werewolves' own team followed them a hundred yards away, carefully keeping their distance.
The surroundings were surprisingly quiet, and the kind of amethyst colossus that had been obstructing everyone's progress in every possible way before was completely nowhere to be seen at this time. It would be nice if they really died in that Purple Flame Cave, but what if they still had a remnant of the party, and they were ambushing somewhere among these floating islands, waiting for an opportunity to sneak up on the people who were close to the tower?
While there are thousands and hundreds of small floating islands to settle in, the bottom layer here is deadly purple lava. Fighting in such a place is still very dangerous, and their situation has never improved much. As a result, the Bediville team decided to err on the side and follow the Albert team, preparing to make a last-minute sprint.
Barring no surprises, the Bediville team's mobility will not be lost to the Albert team. Werewolves are very confident in their explosive power, and as long as the beast turns into a silver wolf, it will not be difficult to leap between these floating islands at high speed and quickly catch up with the tiger.
Therefore, Bediwell and others do not need to be in a hurry at all. Wait for the tiger's team to take the lead and open the way, solve the most difficult ambushes, deal with the most dangerous enemies, and get the fruits of victory, and then the werewolves will take them. That's the plan of the Bediville team.
However, will things really go so smoothly?!
Having just entered this lava cave, the Zhalfir team, which was also closely following the Bediwell team, was also thinking about the same thing - it can be described as a praying mantis catching cicadas, and the yellow finch is behind.
Unlike other teams that scattered, Zhalfir and Segrade always followed each other closely, keeping no more than three yards away from each other. If Bediwell, who turned into a silver wolf, has extraordinary speed, then the two of them, who have combined to become a two-headed cheetah, have extraordinary speed, and can leave their competitors far behind, rush in front of the werewolves, and seize the fruits of victory.
As long as the time comes, the two leopard youths will join forces to launch the final sprint. If there are no accidents, the Zhalfir team will win.
However, will things really go so smoothly?!?
The Palamides, who were secretly following the Zhalfir team, also arrived at the mouth of the cave in time - it can be described as the yellow finch catching the mantis, and the eagle is behind.
Palamides was still in a state of beast transformation, and after he rested for a while, his body was full again. When it mattered, he would leave Ivan behind and sprint with all his might.
And the "super" paramidis with electricity on his body and his whole body turns into gold, which is not only extremely fast, but also can use the buoyancy of the light stone to make powerful jumps over long distances. If he makes reasonable use of the terrain, he can definitely leave behind his competitors and seize the fruits of victory in front of Zhalfir and Segrade.
If nothing else, the Palamides are the real winners.
However, will things really go so smoothly?!?!
There was a wonderful shadow that was peeking at a qiē from above. It was waiting for the moment when these stupid humans fell into the trap.
