Chapter 138: The Discovery of the Underground
The lava snail quickly came to its senses, and it didn't care much about being subdued by Tatsuno, but it was a little reluctant to travel with Tatsuno in the future. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoThis lava snail is not reluctant to be a companion in the canyon, the lava snails usually move slowly and live on their own, and they hardly care what the other lava snails are doing.
What really makes the lava snails reluctant is this canyon!
When Tatsuno asks why the lava snail grows so big, the answer given by the lava snail is this canyon. One part of this canyon has an extremely rich fire energy, and it is because of this energy that the lava snails are brought together.
The fire energy of this unusual location erupts every once in a while, and it is precisely because of the impact of this burst of energy that the lava snail has the huge size it has today. After being hit by this energy, the speed at which the lava snail absorbs the fire energy is greatly accelerated, but the absorption of too much energy also causes some problems, because the fire energy in its body is too strong to accommodate it if it does not increase its size, so the body of the lava snail becomes huge little by little.
Tatsuno was surprised by the description of the lava snail, and he had already guessed about the situation here. In Tatsuno, he wanted to come here as if he had passed by an unmanned power station, because of the relationship between the lightning birds, so many electric elves gathered there, and the unique electric energy of the lightning bird made some changes to the elves there, and this is the case with Tatsuno's electric shock beast.
Originally, Tatsuno also thought that there might be a powerful fire-type elf living in the canyon, but the description of the lava snail made Tatsuno doubt his speculation. According to the lava snail, the special energy here has existed for hundreds of years, but it has not seen any special elves since the lava snail was born.
Could it be that one of the possible fire elves is sleeping?
Tatsuno didn't dare to draw any conclusions at this time, after all, he hadn't investigated yet.
"That's the special place you're talking about, the one surrounded by lava snails?" Tatsuno asked guessingly.
The lava snail nodded.
Although he had known for a long time that this might be the result, Tatsuno was still a little shocked to hear this exact answer. According to the lava snail, that place must have been protected by all the lava snails, and a giant lava snail was already very difficult to deal with, and there were four of them near that place.
Going straight to the past will certainly not work. Tatsuno immediately came to a conclusion.
"Tatsuno, what if we teleported over?" Nazi suggested.
"No," Tatsuno sighed, "we don't know the details of that place yet, and even if we get there, we'll have to investigate the surroundings, so we'll have to deal with the lava snails." ”
Meowth suddenly pointed to the ground and said, "Otherwise, let's dig a tunnel to go there." ”
Meowmeow's proposal was unanimously affirmed by Tatsuno and Nazi, as lava snails don't like to burrow, so they can be avoided well underground, and they can also be studied underground to study why such a strong fire energy is released there.
After deciding on the plan to dig a tunnel, Tatsuno immediately released the Scorpion King and the Mental Earth Puppet, and it was definitely a breeze for the two to work together to dig a tunnel.
After determining the direction, the Scorpion King took the lead in action, only to see that it dug a large hole with a few swings of its giant pincers. The Scorpion King is responsible for digging in front, while the Telekinesis Puppet is responsible for transporting the earth excavated by the Scorpion King to the ground with superpowers, while also ensuring that the excavated tunnel does not collapse.
With the cooperation of the telekinetic earth puppet and the Scorpion King, the progress of the tunnel was very fast, but the high temperature underground still gave Tatsuno a lot of tests, but they didn't expect that the underground would be so much hotter than the ground. In order not to die of heat, Tatsuno could only release the frozen bird, and the cold air carried by the frozen bird made the tunnel instantly more comfortable.
The surrounding scorching heat made the Frozen Bird very unhappy, and it immediately wanted to use the blizzard to create an icy environment, but Tatsuno stopped it in time when it waved its wings, and the rapid alternation of hot and cold was likely to cause the tunnel to collapse.
After getting along for so long, the Frozen Bird was no longer too resistant to Tatsuno, so it gave up the idea of using a blizzard and continued to use its body as an air conditioner to cool Tatsuno and them.
As the tunnel gets closer to where the lava snail said, the temperature inside the tunnel gets unbearably high, and Tatsuno has to use a small area of fine snow to cool down.
Suddenly, the Scorpio King, who had dug down with a pincer, felt that the front was empty, and a large hole appeared in front of it.
"Hollowed out?" Tatsuno didn't believe it, but he didn't expect that there was indeed a hole in front of him. This is supposed to be the location of the lava snail, but why is there a hole?
"Scorpio King dig the whole tunnel, I want to see what's up ahead."
Hearing Tatsuno's order, the Scorpion King dug up the stone in front of him without hesitation, and a hexagonal stone passage appeared in front of Tatsuno. To be exact, it should be a hexagonal well, this well leads vertically to the deeper underground, and the wellhead has been buried in the earth, and Tatsuno and their tunnels dug through the wall of the shaft to discover this shaft.
"Looks like this is it." Tatsuno was pleasantly surprised and said that this shaft showed that there must be something down here, which means that Tatsuno's action this time will not be empty-handed.
"Are you sure you want to go down?" Nazi asked with some concern, the diameter of this shaft is only about one meter, and it is difficult to reflect some emergencies if you go down.
Tatsuno looked at the faint red light emitted from the bottom of the well and strengthened his thoughts, "Don't worry, I'll let Geng Ghost explore the path first, and I'll go down only when I'm sure there's no problem." Knowing that Nazi was worried, Tatsuno gently hugged her and said.
Suddenly being hugged made Nazi's face slightly red, she knew that Tatsuno was persistent in taking risks, since she couldn't stop Tatsuno, then she had to ensure Tatsuno's safety to the greatest extent.
While Geng went down to check, Nazi also released her natural finch and followed Geng to explore along the shaft, and the natural finch flashed its trick to illuminate the entire shaft, and Nazi above them could see the details of the shaft.
After some investigation, Geng Ghost told Long Ye that there was no danger down there, there was only one altar under the entire shaft, and there was a crystal placed on the altar, and the red light he had just seen was emitted by that crystal.
Ancient Ruins!
Tatsuno's eyes lit up when he heard the word, every ancient ruin meant that it was possible to find something amazing, something Tatsuno had verified in his previous trips.
Since there is no danger down there, you can take a good look.
With the help of superpowers, Tatsuno and they landed at the bottom of the well little by little, and through the flash of the natural finch, Tatsuno saw the whole picture below, and it was indeed as Geng Ghost said, except for an altar, there was nothing else.
"Is that the fire-based energy that emanates from that crystal? It's a lot hotter here than on the ground, and I feel like I'm dealing with a pile of magma. Meow Meow said while wiping the sweat from the top of her head.
Tatsuno felt the same way, he couldn't believe that such a crystal, which was only 50 centimeters long and 30 centimeters wide, could emit such terrifying heat.
"Tatsuno, do you know this crystal?" Nazi asked. She had been observing the crystal for a long time, but she couldn't think of any mention of the red, translucent crystal.
Of course, Tatsuno doesn't know either, but although Tatsuno himself doesn't understand, he has a system, "System, what the hell is this crystal?" ”
"I don't have enough permissions to display the data."
The system gave such a depressing answer, which was exactly the same as the last time Tatsuno asked the system to identify the black crystal found in the temple of the Golden Mask Village, and it was also because of the lack of authority to display the data.
But this answer also means that this red crystal must be a treasure, and the black crystal that Tatsuno obtained is the energy crystal extracted by devouring meteorites in the atmosphere, and this energy crystal can provide energy for the mega evolution of the elves.
Since this crystal is an item of the same level as the black crystal, it also has surprising abilities.
Tatsuno was in no hurry to remove the crystal, he didn't know the specific purpose of this thing, and rash action was likely to cause unpredictable consequences. Tatsuno carefully inspected the edge of the altar, and at the same time recorded the patterns on the surface of the altar with a systematic treasure hunting instrument.
Just as Tatsuno was doing his research in earnest, Natsu suddenly said, "Do you feel the temperature around you getting higher and higher?" ”
"Really, meow, you can see that crystal is getting stronger and stronger." Meowth pointed to the crystal in surprise and said.
"The lava snail seems to have mentioned that this thing will explode every once in a while......" Tatsuno muttered, and suddenly he came to his senses and said loudly, "Let's get out of here quickly, the energy from this crystal burst can make the body of the lava snail huge, and we don't know what the effect will be." ”
Tatsuno said as he released the telekinesis puppet, and without any hesitation, he directly asked the telekinesis puppet to use teleportation to transfer everyone to the place where the tunnel was dug at the beginning.
Just a few minutes after Tatsuno and the others left, the crystal on the altar turned red as if it had accumulated sufficient energy, and then the violent red light spread out at once, and then the burst of energy erupted upwards along the shaft, and a lava snail gathered near the mouth of the well was hit by this energy, and the lava snail, who did not know whether it was lucky or unlucky, passed out.
