Chapter Fifty-Four: The State of Deep Rock II
However, the short and strong earth spirit then lowered his voice, covered his mouth and looked around, and found that no one noticed him, so he lowered his voice and said to Xiao Ke: "At a glance, I know that you are a hillbilly who has come to the Deep Rock State for the first time, this time I don't care about you, if there is a next time, my big opal will definitely drive you out of the Deep Rock State!" ”
Xiao Ke asked in surprise, "What did you say your name was?" ”
The earth spirit glared at him, "My name is Big Opal, what's the matter?" ”
"Nothing!" Xiao Ke struggled to control himself so that he didn't laugh out loud: "What a loud and personal name!" ”
The big opal softened his tone: "Hmph! Even if you can speak, let me tell you, don't look at me as just an armor craftsman, if you provoke me, I have a hundred ways to make it impossible for you to get along in the Deep Rock State. What do you want to do when you come to Deep Rock State? ”
Elena was afraid that Xiao Ke's foul mouth would cause unnecessary trouble if he continued to talk about it, so she hurriedly said, "We are going to the core of the boulder." ”
The big opal pointed to a simple house not far away and said, "Go there and get the code card!" ”
Xiao Ke and the four of them turned their heads to look, only to see that there was a team of earth spirit warriors and two huge rock guards stationed there, and several trialists who were applying for coding did not dare to make a mistake in front of the huge rock guards, and lined up honestly.
Xiao Ke raised his leg and was about to walk over, but was dragged by Fu Tian: "Let's go, your current state, it's best to talk less and have less contact with outsiders." Elena, Kane, you watch him, I'll go back. ”
There were not a few people in line, and after less than ten minutes, the funeral day came back with the code card, and a few people summoned the giant ants, and they were about to set off, but the big opal next to them suddenly said: "There are many valuable and rare gems in the core of the boulder, if you can get some for me, I will definitely give you a satisfactory price, good luck!" ”
Xiao Ke laughed loudly: "Big opal brother, then you have to prepare some belongings, we must get back a lot of gems to dazzle your eyes!" With that, waving to the earth spirit, the four of them ran towards the huge gate of the Earth Temple.
On the way, Futian whispered to Xiao Ke: "It's best not to speak loudly in the Earth Temple. ”
Xiao Ke was stunned: "Why?" ”
"It is said that the mountain that holds up the Earth Temple is part of the body of Alfonso, the dragon of the Earth, and Alfonso sleeps under the Earth Temple. Of course, even if you cut your throat, it won't be possible to wake him up, but after all, this is disrespectful to the Earth Dragon, and it will cause displeasure among the Earth Spirits who worship Alfonso, don't you see those loud Earth Spirits speaking in a low voice in the Earth Temple? ”
Shawco pursed his lips noncommittally and did not answer.
Outside the temple gate, they saw the endless mountain range formed by the legendary dragon, and in front of them, a steep mountain path led to the foot of the mountain. At the foot of the mountain, there is an extremely deep cavern that connects to the fire elemental plane, which is the core of a monolith sealed by Alfonso and set up by the temple as a parallel dimension.
The four of them were divided into two in front and two behind, and walked quickly on the mountain road full of sinkholes. In this complex terrain, the giant ants take advantage of other mounts, crawling quickly on mountain trails and some not-so-steep mountain walls.
The environment of the earth elemental plane is very polarized, and some areas continue to have high temperatures all year round, but on the top of this extremely high mountain, the environment is extremely cold. The cold wind that blew in their faces smashed on the four people, and their bodies were even covered with frost flowers. Every once in a while, though, they would shake their bodies and shake the thickening frost away, but it wouldn't be long before they were covered with frost again.
After running for an hour in this harsh environment, the four of them finally reached the halfway point of the mountain, and from here, the temperature began to rise sharply. The foot of the mountain and the top of the mountain are like two different worlds, and it is dry and hot under the influence of the earthfire, just like walking in a great desert.
When I arrived here, the terrain had gradually flattened, and the giant ants did not have the thrilling climbing speed on the cliff before, and Elena, who was walking in the back row, suddenly saw that Xiao Ke's face was a little wrong, and asked worriedly: "Xiao Ke, are you okay?" ”
Xiao Ke snorted awkwardly and said, "Me? Huh, what will happen to me? ”
Elena said, "But why are you so pale?" ”
Xiao Ke was speechless for a while, and after a long while, he whispered, "Is my face white?" It must be because my skin has changed for the better after I turned on the power of the realm! ”
Fu Tian couldn't listen to Xiao Ke's nonsense in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "The pale face has a fart relationship with the power of the realm, and he was obviously frightened by the steep mountain road he just walked!" ”
Xiao Ke's lie was exposed in front of Fu Tian, an old face turned red, Elena also suddenly realized, sighed in a low voice, in order to break this embarrassing atmosphere, she began to look around for new topics, but when she looked up at the sky, she couldn't help but shout in admiration: "It's so spectacular!" ”
It turns out that looking up at the foot of the mountain is a magnificent scene that is completely different from the top of the mountain. Above them, there was a deep night sky and countless stars, a river of stars stretching across the sky. Colorful nebulae roll in the starry sky, the waves are magnificent, like a dream.
Xiao Ke raised his head, stared at the endless starry sky in a daze, and was speechless for a while. It was an irresistible feeling, vast and desolate. Under the star dome, not to mention people, even the earth and the mountains are insignificant specimens of dust. A philosopher once said that space is beauty. However, when the space expands to the extreme, it turns from beauty to irresistible pressure. At this time, the entire universe is floating in the void, and the only fulcrum is in the hearts of those who look up at the starry sky. This pressure is irresistible.
They finally got rid of this silent pressure, collected their minds, and continued to move on, and when they stepped out of the rocky mountains, a huge lake of magma slowly unfolded in front of them, and from the shore, a deafening roar could be heard.
There's a massive war going on here, and the main force on both sides is a massive earth elemental made up of living rocks, but one of them is scorched black by the flames and spews flames from the eyes.
These charred earth elementals are monsters that have been eroded by flames and turned into lava elementals. Their tempers burst and they refuse to admit that they are the heirs of the Earth Dragon, and instead join the command of the Fire Lord Bardak.
Both sides are thick-skinned elemental creatures, compared to the common earth elemental's higher defense, while the lava element's attack is stronger, and it is difficult to kill for a while. The scene of hundreds of huge elements with a height of more than 4 meters catching and fighting each other is no less than the army war of tens of thousands of people, and the four of Xiao Ke are enthusiastic.
Funeral Heaven shouted and beckoned to the other three: "We are here at the right time, hurry up and help, kill a few more lava elements, the more you kill, the lower the difficulty of our dungeon." ”
Xiao Ke suddenly shouted, "Slow! ”
All three of them turned to look at him and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Xiao Ke's face suddenly turned red, and he said hesitantly: "That, what if...... I mean, what if, if that huge volcanic lake suddenly erupts, where do you think we're going to hide? ”
Fu Tian raised his middle finger with disdain and scolded: "If that happens, you can hide in the crotch of the woman's pants!" ”
Elena suddenly blushed with shame, and said angrily: "Brother Futian, what nonsense are you talking about!" ”
Futian hurriedly apologized: "Elena, I'm not targeting you, I'm being stopped by Xiao Ke's angry mouth, and I didn't speak through my brain, I'm really sorry." Then he said viciously to Xiao Ke: "If you don't dare to go up, then hide and watch, you are afraid that I understand, but please keep your mouth shut, don't always say some idiotic things that demoralize us!" ”
Xiao Ke couldn't hold his face when he was buried in the sky, and said angrily: "Who said that Uncle Ben is afraid, I'm just making some suggestions for a rainy day!" With that, the Dark Spear had been condensed, and the first one to charge at the lava element.
Although Xiao Ke's psychological state was very poor, his strength was not affected, and the dark spear was like a flying immortal out of the sky, instantly penetrating into the shoulder of a lava element, and then exploded, blowing off the shoulder of the lava element along with an arm.
The lava elemental was caught off guard by this sudden attack, and the earth elemental that was against it was in high spirits, and with a few punches, the crippled lava elemental was knocked to the ground, and then the bow was fired left and right at the fallen lava elemental, all the while smashing it into rubble, before stopping, and rushing towards the other lava elemental.
These monsters on the second floor of the temple, the strength is really very different from the first layer, the attacks of these lava elements are not to mention for the time being, just from the point of view of health value, each of them exceeds 1000 points, and they are all small boss-like existences on the first floor, and here, they are just an ordinary soldier of the huge elemental army.
In the chaotic battlefield, the four of them did not fight separately as in the previous group battles, but cooperated with each other in the division of labor, and the Bloody Flesh Tear of the Burial Wind did not work for these monsters that were not flesh and blood, so he took the initiative to take on the role of support, manipulating the wind to cover Kane and Shauco, while Elena focused on healing, occasionally using the Soul Cutting Thing to shoot a few Holy Light Arrows to assist the output.
Kane's hammer and Shako's Dark Spear can both effectively kill these rough and fleshy lava elementals, and they work together quite tacitly, usually Shoko uses the Dark Spear to blow up the legs of the lava elemental under the cover of the wind, and Kane smashes it to smash the fallen elemental with a hammer.
Just ten minutes after the battle, the four of them killed the three lava elements very efficiently. These Lava Elementals have a high chance of dropping items, as just killing three Lava Elementals drops two 'Blazing Cores' (forged materials, added when crafting weapons or armor to give the equipment additional fire attributes) and a 'Blood of the Mountains' (which permanently increases Constitution by 1 when used), and for each Lava Elemental killed, the four of them each receive 400 Soul Points.
The addition of the four had only a negligible effect on the entire battlefield, after all, this was a war between hundreds of elemental armies, and their help in killing a few more lava elementals would only serve a drop in the bucket.
What really changed the tide of battle was another earth-elemental creature, the Mountain Giant.
