In the fire-like red woods, on the tall trees like maple leaves, there are strange creatures floating dark red. They are born with a single horn and one eye, their skin is like a zebra, and their hands are thin and stiff, and their palms are clawed, showing the sharpness of the tip of a knife at all times. They have no feet, and their lower bodies are just a swirling mist that supports them to wander around the "maple trees".

They are collecting something, and they don't seem to be communicating, but they may be exchanging information in bands that humans can't detect.

If he had to describe these creatures, Moren would associate them with bees from another world.

It was a completely new species, at least not before he had discovered it.

Moron walked through the bright red woods, collecting information about the creature with the Wise Star Record, "............ Collecting resin, eating insects, mild-tempered, well, very diligent, and will not actively attack humans. He noticed that they had spotted him, but they only skimmed by, as if they had seen a stone, and paid no attention to it.

Mo Lun thought about it for a moment and tentatively named them "Lone Bee Beasts", because he was not sure about their names, he decided to wait until he returned and consulted the ninjas who specialized in Gu worms.

Collecting information about the strange life of this world is one of Morun's few hobbies.

When he was still in Dayan Valley, he collected many large and small creatures, including all kinds of poisonous insects and beasts he saw when collecting the lantern blue grass, and sometimes he was bored, and he would carefully ponder the characteristics of these creatures.

At this point, Moren would smile at himself and laugh at himself for turning from astronomer to biologist. Occasionally, I wonder if one day I could become as great as Darwin.

This is the fourth day of entering the volcanic forest, and the school has been tasked with collecting a special flame stone, or a hundred ordinary flame stones. The time limit is 14 days, i.e. two weeks.

The school is also not afraid of cheating by the students of the elite class, such as turning in the previously stored flame stones as tasks. Because they are the specialty of flame stones, they have the most accurate and comprehensive detection methods, and they can distinguish those flame stones obtained in the volcanic forest.

The special flame stone is a high-grade attribute material, it does not need to be purified, and there is no need to find a way to quench the hot poison contained in the flame stone, because this flame stone is the purest kind of stone, and it is said that the purification method of ordinary flame stone is also found from the super flame stone.

Ordinary flame stones are easy to find, the reason why it is called the volcanic forest sea here is that there are many volcanoes like trees in the forest, there are very many, and they are very easy to erupt, whenever the volcano erupts, you can always pick up some flame stones at the eruption point. But not all volcanoes can "spit out" Flame Stone, and if so, then Flame Stone will not be a specialty of the Fire Country.

There are two types of volcanoes, one of which is a "normal volcano" that can be seen all over the world. There is also a "mini-volcano" that is unique to the Fire Nation's domain, which the Fire Nation calls a volcano, but more people prefer to call it the "Fire Chrysostom", which means a cave where countless fire gold can be hidden.

Of course, the Fire Nation will not agree with this statement.

The Volcanic Forest Sea is a dangerous place, and although the Fire Country is a large country, it cannot protect all the areas tightly. As a result, some adventurers, nay, the vast majority of adventurers, regarded entering the volcanic forest to dig for flame stones as their main benefit.

The Fire Nation cannot stop these risk-takers, and most of them will sell the Flame Stones they harvest to neighboring cities, with Sin City being the largest acquisition point. So, naturally, the Fire Nation connived at this kind of thing, but the control of Sin City was invisibly a little more.

Moron had little interest in the "chain of interests" between the Fire Nation and the adventurers and Sin City, and he was curious about how these mini-volcanoes were formed. We all know that the Volcanic Forest Sea was once a battlefield, an ancient battlefield that existed in myths and legends, but was recognized by everyone. But no one said that these mini-volcanoes existed before it became an ancient battlefield?

In some scattered wild histories, he found several more reasonable theories.

These statements, whether it ends up nonsense at the end of the sky or the corner of the sea, all involve a place - the Immortal Mountain.

This made Morondo wonder if the flame stone was a man-made thing, not a creation out of nothing, but a natural miracle that used heaven and earth to turn something into something that people needed, such as a material with special properties.

As an important place in the land of fire, the Immortal Mountain must have hidden many secrets. Moren had no intention of inquiring and did not want to get involved in any incident of such a behemoth, he hated trouble. Mo Lun thinks that he is very satisfied with being able to study in the elite class and be able to accomplish those goals.

In those four days, Moron had not seen a single flame stone.

But it's not for nothing.

On the contrary, he felt that he was getting closer and closer to completing his school tasks.

In the past few days, Moren used chips to survey the geology, detect various vibrations, analyze them one by one, and gradually approached the frequent places of volcanoes. Coming to this fiery maple forest today was not an accident, but a must-pass place for him to pass through in pursuit of the crater.

The beautiful woods here are not due to the proximity to the volcano, the strong fire element, and the adaptation to the land under your feet. With his extensive knowledge of all kinds of books, Morun did not even recognize the species of these trees.

......

After walking for most of the day, Moren found himself still in the woods. He was sure that the direction was right, and he didn't get lost, but he was still in the woods on his feet.

Morun took a deep breath.

This forest is far larger than expected, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a forest. And the number of lone bees is really beyond Molun's estimate.

"Looks like it's their main habitat. He guessed.

Fortunately, the little ones had no ill will towards humans, and feeling the faint pain in their backs, Moren stopped for the first time since entering the woods. When I took off my clothes, I saw a white gauze bandage tied around my waist, and there was a puddle of soaked red near my chest.

Mo Lun untied the gauze, looked at the wound carefully, checked the data fed back by the chip, and nodded.

In the part of the chest near the heart, there is a hideous wound hole, caused by a sinister alien beast "bloodthirsty leech". It was the second day of Morun's entry into the volcanic forest, and despite the scanning of the star to probe the heat, he was still successfully attacked by this bloodthirsty leech hidden in the mire.

Bloodthirsty leeches are the size of an ordinary wild dog and hide in mud pools, streams, and trees along rivers, and they possess trace trolleys from birth. During combat, the slippery body can break down into tiny leeches, or it can give birth to tentacle suckers that attack prey like snakes.

Mo Lun was unfortunate that he was touched by one of the tentacles of the bloodthirsty leech, and he was instantly sucked out of a hole by the terrifying suction of the sucker. If it weren't for Mo Lun's extremely ruthless and decisive means to fuse the bloodthirsty leech's body into nothingness, it is estimated that a big hole would have appeared in his body.

In the hearts of many adventurers in Sin City, there is a ranking of extremely dangerous creatures in the volcanic forest sea.

At the top of the list is undoubtedly the king beast, this monster can easily destroy a small country, and the danger is self-evident. There is a saying among adventurers: "When you encounter a king beast, it is not how fast you run away or how deep you drill, but it depends on its mood." ”

King beast, this terrifying creature is extremely rare, and you may not encounter it once in your life. But there is a creature, as long as you come to the volcanic forest, as long as you want, you will definitely be able to see it. He's a bloodthirsty leech. In the eyes of most adventurers, the bloodthirsty leech is in seventh place, not very conspicuous and not very powerful - but it is dangerous.

Morun knew about bloodthirsty leeches, but it was the first time he had seen them, and the tragic experience made him realize that anywhere in the volcanic forest, there could be a deadly threat that you could not guard against.
