"Well, that's true."

Xia took out some sundries from her waist bag, and then asked the black-clothed little Lori to take out the kind of clothes that were not easy to damage and put them on her body.

After she had prepared a qiē, she found a place to sit down:

"How long did you just fly down?"

"Five minutes, and then I'll be up."

Xia calculated in his heart the distance that the little Lori in black could reach in 5 minutes, and said to her:

"In this way, this time I will give you an hour, if you can't see the bottom after an hour, hurry up, this depth is no longer suitable for further exploration."

"But master, we should look for other clues here first, the main quest ......"

The little Lori in black is the same as before, and she has always been thinking about doing the main quest.

"Don't think about it, haven't you noticed? Since there is no prompt in the system, it means that this is not a place where the fragments of God are hidden at all. ”

Xia's voice was full of regret, but her eyes were quite clear:

"If we can find the World Tree, we might be able to find some clues to the Fragments of God, but only to get clues...... With my current strength, it's not the time to do the main quest at all. ”

She reached out and picked up an unknown piece of wreckage next to her, and rubbed it in her hand:

"It's strange to say, how could the ancient elven ruins appear underground, I always thought it was hidden in the depths of the forest, because of a volcanic eruption? It is rumored that Hosenheim is a city blessed by the gods, even if this rumor is exaggerated, the defense of the entire city must not be underestimated, how can a mere volcanic eruption bury it underground. ”

"Forget it, what do you want to do with this."

She threw the wreckage out:

"Stephanie, I'll leave this task to you, if you see anything suspicious down there, come back and report it immediately, do you understand?"

"Understood, master!"

"If you can make a heavy discovery this time, when you get back to earth, I will invite you to drink for three days in the nearest city."

Xia touched the delicate cheek of the little Lori in black and said.

"Wow Wow Wow ......"

As soon as she heard that there was wine to drink, the little Lori in black immediately became energetic.

"Promise to complete the task, master, you just wait for my good news!"

But not long after she went down, her angry voice sounded in Xia's mind:

"Hurry up and get out of the cave next to the master, it's in danger!"

"Let's go!"

Natsu immediately bounced up from where she was sitting, grabbed Gladys' hand, and dragged her backwards.

The two of them retreated dozens of meters away, and the ground suddenly trembled.

The originally dark and dreary entrance of the cave turned fiery red in an instant, and a strong red light was reflected from the ground, and the person who stabbed it could not open his eyes.

Then there was a thunderous thud in their ears, and thick lava pillars shot straight into the sky from the hole.

"Lava eruption?"

Xia Gu couldn't enjoy the rare spectacular scene in front of him, and flew backwards with all his strength in his arms.

Countless fiery lava flows rushed through the air, and volcanic ash rushed to the dome and scattered in all directions; The two of them flying in the air didn't have time to dodge at all, and they were about to be covered by the scorching gray mist, and Xia's eyes suddenly flashed with a green glow.

The ash swooped down like a tsunami, drowning their figures in the air, and just as the entire ruin was about to be covered in ash, a cyan glow faintly shone from within.

"Elemental Awakening!"

A bullet-like ball of light tore through the thick ash and rushed out of it.

Natsu and Gladys were protected by a dense cyan wind shield, and her wings changed from dark flames to pale cyan wind wings, leading them to shoot high altitude.

"Uhhhh

In the blink of an eye, they appeared on the edge of the dome, and Natsu's wind wings began to fank forward, finally avoiding the tragedy of hitting the wall at the last moment.

"It's so dangerous, I almost hit ......"

She gasped in the air for a long time and wiped a cold sweat.

As soon as she lowered her head, she saw the inexplicable eyes of Gladys in her arms, her old face turned red, and she said curtly:

"It's been less than three months since the awakening of the wind elemental, so I'm a little unaccustomed to it......"

The spider beauty smiled at her and reached out a hand to touch her face, as if in approval.

Looking at the gray mist below, Xia was a little worried in his heart.

This underground space is very large, but the distance of the volcanic ash** is quite far, and it can even reach thousands of kilometers outside, and it will soon cover this area, and they can't find a place to hide.

At this moment, Gladys's face turned to the high rock wall and the dome, and after observing it for a while, suddenly shot out a transparent silk thread, and her body jumped onto a rock wall covered with colored crystals, and reached out and knocked on the surface.

"Pop ......"

One by one, the crystals began to peel off, revealing a small door inside.

"What kind of material is used for this door, it hasn't broken after so long."

Natsu flew over at Gladys's beckoning, carefully clearing the limestone from the crack in the door with her sword, trying to open the small door.

As a result, as soon as she pulled open a crack, the door fell, and she quickly copied the door panel in her hand.

"Master—are you all right?"

The figure of the little Lori in black appeared from a distance and shouted loudly in her mind.

"It's okay, we found a room in the heights, which should be the outpost used by the elves to keep guard."

Natsu didn't care about damaging the contents inside, a strong wind blew from her gloves, and the air stored in the house for thousands of years was swept outside along with the debris, she held her breath and continued to release her magic, which scraped the inside of the house thin enough to enter the house with Gladys.

"Get some pieces of cloth out."

Xia Rang's black-clothed little Lori who came over took out some coarse cloth and firmly blocked the door panel in the gap, and a simple hiding place was formed.

"Ice Condensation!"

She cast a powerful ice spell on top of the door, freezing the entire door.

After doing this, Xia knelt down on one knee, put his hand on the ground, and closed his eyes.

The earth elementals came alive around her, and where the gloves touched, she could clearly feel their path through the dirt and rocks, and after a while, a structural network of nearby rock and soil layers appeared in her mind.

"The rock formations around here seem to be solid, and there are no cavities or passages to be found."

She opened her eyes in disappointment.

"Stephanie, remember the oxygen cylinders we used to make? Bring one to me. ”

"Remember, we've done a lot of them in that time, master."

Natsu took a bulky metal bottle from the black-clothed little Lori, and stabbed a small hole in the mouth of the bottle with her long sword.

"Whew-"

A thin stream of air shot out from inside, and soon the room was filled with fresh air.

"Whew, it's alive......"

Natsu lay on the ground regardless of his image, breathing heavily.

This oxygen cylinder was an emergency item that she had come up with on the spur of the moment to prevent being trapped in a secret room or a closed trap, and she didn't expect it to come in handy in this situation today.

Gladys crawled to the side of the oxygen cylinder on all fours, curiously touched the outward ** gas, leaned on it and sniffed it, with an intoxicated look on her face.

"How much food did we stock up on before we came in? If you don't count dragon meat. ”

Xia asked the little Lori in black.

"I can eat it for about three months, but only meat and some fruit."

"Three months, it should be enough for us to get through."

She breathed a sigh of relief:

"We'll hide here for a few days, the eruption should be over soon, and we'll go out then."

She leaned her sword against the wall, asked for a wide cushion and lay down, ready for a long fight.

Who knew about this hiding, and he hid for two months.

"Ahhh Die of boredom! ”

Natsu pushed the game he had made when he was fine, and fell backwards on the mat.

Gladys reached out and tugged at her, her eyes full of pleading, as if she wanted to keep playing.

“…… You really can't get tired of having fun. ”

Xia sat up helplessly.

Gladys nodded and rearranged the pieces.

"Why do spiders like to play chess?"

Xia wondered.

However, there is nothing to do in this small space, except for daily cultivation and meditation, only to play various small games with this spider queen.

"The rules of the secret room don't work for her."

Xia looked at the revealing beauty opposite, and secretly complained in his heart.

Communication is not smooth, feelings cannot be cultivated, and now the relationship between the two is still the same as before.

Although the other party is a little natural and can occasionally make a little intimate move, Xia thinks of the poison of the spider every time he feels furious, and he doesn't dare to do anything out of bounds.

"Master, the ash doesn't seem to be that dense anymore."

The little Lori in black flew in through the wall and pounced on her back:

"Shall we go to the cave and have a look?"

"Since it's an active volcano, what are you going to do down, it's a long life."

Xia took a step to the chess piece:

"I've had the bone dragon penetrate the gray dwarf's dungeon a month ago, and I'm digging this way now, and it's probably going to take a while to get through."

The distance of soul transmission is very far, anyway, the bone dragon is an undead creature, and it will not get tired at all, so she used this stupidest escape method.

"West, east, south, these three directions have been explored, starting today you will go to the north to investigate, hoping to find some clues."

For more than two months, the black-clothed little Lori and the bone dragon, the two coolies who don't have to eat and sleep, have been working day and night, and the bone dragon digging a hole in the ground Needless to say, the black-clothed little Lori has explored all the ruins of the city, and found a lot of strange things inside, but there is no clue about the world tree.

Xia's northern face refers to the rock walls and domes in the north of the city; Even if the elves don't like to sneak around, but in such a large main city, if the people inside didn't build any escape routes when the disaster came, I'm afraid no one would believe it.

"No teleportation arrays have been found in the ruins, which indicates that the ancient elves left in other ways...... World Tree, World Tree, where the hell are you? ”R1152
