Chapter 426: Geothermal Heat
The rocks that appeared in front of everyone were different from the mountain rocks in the conventional sense, and those who were knowledgeable could see at once that those hideous and rugged stones with strange patterns and colors had not been catalyzed by feng shui for a long time to change into such a shape, they had just been born.
In other words, the rocky field should have been near a volcano, and it was a volcano that had recently erupted. Because even standing outside the stone field, several people could faintly feel the deep heat coming from the colorful rocks, which was the heat from the lava surging underground. In the midst of these rocks, there are a few places where steam rises upwards and merges with the mist above.
Cheese's gaze followed the steam upwards, and he had a plan in his heart, and when he got here, he understood where the mist that covered the sky and the sun came from, and what kind of force supported the world where the sandbar was located. The power of geothermal energy, something stronger than it in the world, has, but there are few that are so warm and energetic.
If you can use this power for your own use, even the worst apprentices can produce earth-shattering results. But then again, geothermal energy is an extremely powerful and inexhaustible source of energy, but it is difficult to control and use it after channeling it into a spell, unless it is near the crater and in a cave deep underground, ordinary people have no access to this power.
Thinking of this, the shock suddenly rushed into his thoughts. As their boat was about to enter the waters where the hardhead fish were located, an earthquake loomed in the water. Could it be that the earthquake had something to do with the scene in front of you? But the degree of cooling of the rocky ground in front of you was not far from when they were formed, but not close to that time.
But the combination of an earthquake and a volcano gave Cheese a sense of uneasiness in his heart. Rao is that no matter how clever his spells are, he is also unlucky in the face of boiling lava, and whether the cultists here have discovered a newly created volcanic crater or used some method to artificially simulate this landscape, it is not a good thing for the mission.
"How are we going to get there?" Lolo's embroidered eyebrows twisted, and she reached out and shook it above the stone floor, then looked at the light soles of her shoes, which were impossible to walk through.
Not only her, but the environment and climate of Riverrun City determined that the people who lived here would not wear too thick boots, and whether it was animal skin or cloth, it was obviously difficult to cope with the rocky terrain that still had residual temperature. Once the shoes are damaged, the Rao is mage can only use his feet to step on the ground to move forward.
"Leave it to me. Wei Ya pulled out a pair of gloves from her robe, but unlike the ones used for dissection by cheese, her gloves were thicker, improving protection and reducing flexibility. But enough for what it was going to do, she bent down and dug her hand deep into the rocky ground, spotted a protruding rock, then grabbed the protruding part of the rock with one hand and punched the top of the rock with the other!
All she could hear was a muffled sound and a fleeting glow of fire, and she brought down the volcanic rocks with all their colors. Cheese was the only one present who understood the principle of her casting, and the moment she slammed the rock, the female mage released the heat energy contained within.
As a result, not only did she acquire a piece of volcanic rock, but the volcanic rock, which had lost its thermal energy, had become quite fragile due to rapid cooling. Wei Ya placed it on the relatively flat ground, and took out a small hammer from her clothes, the handle of the hammer was no more than the thickness of a finger, and the head of the hammer was only slightly larger than the finger. Judging by the sound of the wind when the hammer is swung, its quality may not exactly match its appearance.
In short, three times and two times, the rock was knocked to pieces. Wei Ya held the fragments in her hands, closed her eyes and chanted a spell, and in the magical vision, she could clearly see that there was magic light pouring into the fragments from her palm.
Depending on the genre, this act can be referred to as enchantment or enchantment. Its purpose is to awaken the inner magic of things, making them a medium or material for casting spells. The average caster may be more inclined to use flasks to complete this process, and it takes a lot of experience to demonize things by hand.
Cooled volcanic rock has the same color as a gemstone, and unlike the cold, pure gemstone, its color is fluid, energetic and powerful. It's just that after being smashed into powder, those colors are no longer visible.
The mage gave the demonized pieces to the crowd and told them to apply them to the soles of their shoes, "I hollowed out the rubble, and now they can absorb and store the heat they come into contact with. ”
"Like a cistern?" Cheese played with a large crumb in his hand, and the stone that had been warm was now cold in his hand, as if he had just been picked up from the ice field.
Such a spell could not be replicated by the same method in the gray robe, and the energy changes involved in it were not so simple for him to complete. Through this incident, he also understood that the so-called energy mages probably did not only refer to shaping elements, but also that they were also good at controlling energy.
"It's like a cistern. Wei Ya nodded, confirming the gray robe's guess,
"Energy is not unique to living things, living and dead things, water, fire, stone and wind all contain energy, what we are good at is to control the energy in external objects, so that it can achieve the purpose according to our will. From this point of view, the energy in dead things is much more controllable than in living things, so the Shaping faction deals more with them. ”
Being willing to explain the principles of a spell to others, partly to prevent them from inadvertently breaking the spell, is also a sign of increased trust in the team. Several of them nodded their heads and smeared the gravel under their feet, and the stone foam stuck to the soles of their shoes as if they were sticky.
After everyone was ready, including Yoni, Wei Ya took the lead and stepped into the rocky field. Although it is summer at this time, the temperature is not hot in the city of the Pan-North Continent. At this time, as soon as you enter this territory, beads of sweat are uncontrollably squeezed out of people's pores, giving people the feeling of walking in a steamer.
Cheese took a few steps and took something out of his bosom and handed it to Yoni, one of the three jade pendants that Shi Lao had given them before, the jade lion continued to exude cool air in the scorching heat, which greatly relieved the pain of the young apprentice. Otherwise, with Yuni's physical fitness, and a set of clothes and other sundries on his back, I am afraid that he will faint from heat stroke if he can't walk a few steps. The boy hung the jade pendant around his neck, and a cool breath protected his heart, which was temporarily unhindered.
But Yoni has a jade pendant bodyguard, but the others don't. Among several people, the gray robe of the cheese has the effect of avoiding the cold and the heat, although it is also hot, it will not hurt the body. As a mage of the plastic energy system, it is not difficult for Wei Ya to control the body surface heat within an acceptable range.
It's just that she suffers from the others, Luo Luo's complexion is not very good-looking, although she is thinly dressed, but because of this, her skin is the most scorched, in her senses, she is like meat in the oven, and it will soon be time to consider how ripe it is. The situation of the sources is not optimistic, they support each other, and the women's side is less physically fit, and there is already a tendency to stand unsteadily.
As for the old man with the pointed hat, it was even worse, his living staff couldn't stand the heat, and hid in his clothes early, the old man couldn't care about his image, and took off his wide hat and fanned his face. It seems that they are all crumbling.
You can't get out like this, you have to find a way.
