Section 71: Confluence
The black rocks twisted and layered.
This is what volcanic magma looks like when it cools.
In the steaming heat, the pungent smell of sulfur fills the world.
On the empty black surface, two men walked in pairs.
One was a young girl, dressed in a tattered apprentice's robe, with a hood that did not cover her head, revealing a delicate and haggard countenance. The most attractive thing is the girl's eyes, which are as bright and clear as the finest purple crystals. At this moment, the girl's eyes were full of worry.
The other is an old man. His gray beard dragged all the way to his chest, and because he had not taken care of it for a long time, it was dirty like a rag that had not been cleaned for a long time. He wears a pair of glasses on the bridge of his nose, and the lenses are broken. He was hobbling and thin, and the wrinkles on his face made the suffering he was suffering at the moment all the more profound.
One old and one young are Cang Xu and Zi Di.
According to Needlegold's arrangement, when Needlegold was the first to break through and lure away all the spear scorpions, the two of them took the opportunity to escape from the cave.
At this moment, they are returning the same way, wanting to leave this igneous rock area and return to the desert.
Thundered.
Suddenly, there was a muffled thunderous sound in the distance.
Zidi and Cangsu stopped and looked back.
I saw a volcano in the distance, spewing out a huge amount of red magma.
The magma erupted high, at least 800 meters by visual inspection.
Thick smoke obscured half of the sky. The bright red magma rushed to the highest peak and began to splash and slash in all directions.
Zidi and Cangsu were both physically and mentally shocked.
"Thankfully, we're still on the periphery, let's go. The beard urged.
Zidi walked more and more slowly, turning her head to look behind her from time to time.
Cangsu knew what the girl was expecting, and immediately opened her mouth to persuade: "Lord Needle Gold will definitely join us." We have to have faith in him! We were able to escape because the adults attracted all the guns and scorpions regardless of the danger. We managed to escape here, largely by luck. We can't afford to live up to the hard work and dedication of Lord Needle!"
Zidi gritted her teeth and looked at the volcanic ash scattered in the sky: "Although I left pink potions along the way, the volcanic ash will quickly cover these marks! Wait......"
Woohoo.
As soon as Zidi's words fell, dozens of pale yellow air currents suddenly erupted from the ground near the two.
The air flow was very fast, and the smell of sulfur in the air quickly became very strong.
Bang.
The ground shook violently, and Zidi and Cang Xu couldn't help but shake their bodies, as if they were in a small boat, and the bottom of the boat was being hit by a great white shark.
"What's going on?!" Zidi and Cang Xu were shocked, and the air jet quickly became coarse.
The gaps between the black volcanic rocks expanded rapidly, and red magma began to erupt from these blowholes.
For a while, the temperature in the air rose wildly!
Zidi and Cangsu hurriedly ran away from this dangerous place and came to the relatively stable volcanic rock a few hundred meters away.
And where the two of them had stopped before, the cracks in the volcanic rock had expanded to tens of meters.
A large amount of magma gushes out, covering everything and destroying everything at the same time.
Subsequently, the two-hundred-meter radius disappeared and was replaced by a pool of reddish magma.
A huge creature slowly rising from the magma.
It has a huge tortoise shell, which is not flat, but has many holes at intervals.
The giant tortoise's head was as red as earth, and on either side of the cheeks, two thick tusks protruded.
The magma, which is as high as more than 1,000 degrees Celsius, did not hurt the giant tortoise.
The giant tortoise climbs ashore comfortably from the magma in a leisurely manner. It was visibly overweight, with its stout four-legged feet on the igneous rock, sinking deep into it each time. When it comes out, a little reddish magma seeps out of the pit of its footprints.
Streams of semi-liquid red lava also seep out of the holes in the tortoise's shell.
The gold-level breath of life is very vast, shocking the hearts of Zidi and Cangmu.
However, what shocked the two even more was that it wasn't just a lava giant tortoise.
Immediately after the first head, a second, third, and fourth heads floated from the magma pool.
Four giant lava tortoises climbed ashore and roamed around, making elephant-like chirps.
"Looks like this is their home. The one I saw in the rainforest before should have been teleported. Zidi said in her heart.
"Could it be that this is the lava tortoise?" said Beard's voice trembled.
It was the first time he had seen a lava tortoise.
But before, he and Needle Jin had exchanged information about each other in detail.
His eyes lit up, and his voice trembled not because he was afraid, but because he was excited.
"A gold-level magical beast, flesh and blood can swim in magma. They are not elemental life. Wonderful, amazing!"
"Let's go. This time it was Zidi's turn to remind.
It's just too dangerous here.
The two had to flee, but the lava tortoise seemed to have a mild temperament and did not pursue them.
"This distance should be safe. ”
After evacuating for thousands of meters, Zidi stopped and looked into the distance again.
Cangsu sighed, and did not escape alone, standing beside Zidi.
"It hasn't appeared yet, and I'm afraid that the needle gold is more than lucky. ”
These are the words of Cangsu's heart.
But he didn't say it.
"Lord Jinjin's physical condition is very poor, he has never eaten, and his physical strength is lacking. ”
"In the face of the pursuit and siege of the scorpion swarm, the physical exertion will be very fierce. The more time passed, the less likely he was to survive. ”
"Alas......"
Cangsu sighed secretly.
He desperately hopes that the needle gold can survive, and with the protection of the needle gold, he can greatly increase the possibility of survival.
Cangsu knew very well: relying on him and Zidi alone, it was an extravagant hope to escape from this island.
However, the two waited for a while, but they never saw the figure of the needle.
Cangsu's heart sank to the bottom, and the disappointment in his heart continued to accumulate, and finally turned into despair.
He looked at the girl's thin back, and was thinking about how to persuade Zidi to evacuate, when Zidi suddenly screamed in surprise.
Then, Cangsu also saw the figure of needle gold.
A large amount of volcanic ash was scattered between heaven and earth, and a young man carried a young man on his back, his pace was very steady, not slow, and his posture revealed a sense of stubbornness and strength.
"My lord, it's Lord Needle Gold!" Cangsu also cried out, with infinite joy.
"He brought back the white buds as well. Zidi sighed, and her tone was complicated.
"This is the Templars!" said Acansu in heartfelt admiration.
Moments later, the four of them successfully converged.
Needle Gold divided some of the weapons between Purple and Beard. This is what he got after cleaning the cave battlefield. These weapons originally belonged to the rest of the exploration team, and these members were sacrificed.
"Your Excellency, you're hurt! let me take a look!" Zidi saw the wound on the needle's shoulder, and her eyes quickly reddened.
The wound on the scapula of the needle gold was caused by the silver spear scorpion.
On the spot, the wound was already bandaged.
Although Needle Gold killed the spear scorpion and controlled the magic core, there was no way to heal the wounds.
On the way here, after making sure that Bai Ya had fallen into a deep coma, he urged the demon core in his heart to mutate the wound.
When he mutates into a scorpion shell, the scorpion shell will cover the wound.
It turned into mutton and lizard meat, and the wound was still broken.
It becomes the fluff of a fire bee, and the fluff covers the surface of the skin, but a wound without skin cannot be mutated into fluff.
Zidi carefully untied the strip of cloth to expose the wound.
After some examination, the girl exhaled a turbid breath: "My lord, your wound should have been pierced by the scorpion's tail." The injuries are severe, but they have now stabilized. My lord, your body's resilience is really extraordinary!"
Zidi debugged the new potion on the spot.
She took out several bottles of potion from the small leather bag around her waist, poured out some powder or liquid medicine for each, and then mixed them in an empty bottle and shook them violently.
Finally, she carefully poured the potion she had just concocted into the wound of the needle.
The needle gold immediately felt a wave of coolness, and the pain of the wound from time to time was quickly reduced.
With a pharmacist by your side, it's just different.
"You can't stay here for long, so let's go. After hastily treating the wound, the needle gold urged, "The scorpion swarm has been thrown away by me, and I don't want to be entangled by them again." ”
Needle Gold concealed the death of the Silver Spear Scorpion.
Although the heart core is controlled by him, he does not intend to reveal this secret.
He was a Templar, but his heart core could transform him into a monster. The former is above board, while the latter is weird and ferocious, and the two have very different styles and cannot be directly linked. If people see the anomaly of needle gold, the most likely suspicion is that needle gold has been lured by the devil to fall.
In addition, the eruption of the volcano also helped the gold injection.
Volcanic ash covers the land, obscuring all traces of the battlefield. If the lava erupts, tumbling there, it's even better - completely destroying the corpse.
"Yes, we'd better get out of here as soon as possible. Acansu agreed.
As he was leaving, Needlegold took a deep look at the four lava tortoises.
"I wonder if my heart core can absorb gold-level life?"
The question crossed the boy's mind.
The lava melts the scorpion shell, and the red light from the heart core needs to touch the target.
Needle Gold has a very, very high risk of dealing with lava tortoises.
Moreover, they have to hide the purple and the beard.
Finally, you have to take care of the purple di, the beard, and the comatose white bud.
So, Needle Metal wisely gave up the idea of attacking the lava tortoise.
Zidi didn't know that Needle Gold had actually thought of attacking the lava giant tortoise, and on the way, the girl was worried: "We have run out of food, and there is very little water left. ”
And that's not all.
In the entire exploration team, there were only four people left: Needle Gold, Zi Di, Cang Xu and Bai Ya.
"My lord, I suggest going back the way you came, back to the vicinity of the acid green lizard's nest. Lizard meat is edible, and large swarms of lizards can survive, and there must be a large water source near the nest. There is a high probability of the existence of an oasis. ”
"Let's go back, then. Needle Gold nodded, "Strive to be able to reach the Golden Granite Group tonight." ”
