Chapter Seventy-Two: The Demon Camp
"Don't worry, it only erupts three or four times a year, and the timing is very regular, and it is less than a month before the last outbreak, so it will not erupt. Giant Hoof panted tiredly, but said with an oath. "There are nine soul furnaces in Burning Hell, and it is said that all of them are like this, and there can be no mistake. ”
Morey looked at the magma on the volcano that had not yet fully solidified, and showed a somewhat strange expression. "But"
"Don't think about it, it's normal for anyone to have this illusion when they see it!" said Giant Hoof, nonchalantly.
Elliot thought for a moment, glanced up at the volcano, and said in agreement. "I've heard of this, too, and in the endless years, legend has it that there have only been three sudden outbursts of the Soul Forge in total. This kind of thing can't be encountered for millions of years, and I don't think I have to worry about it, otherwise it would be almost the same as being killed by lightning when I went out. ”
Morey heard them say this, and although he always felt that something was wrong in his heart, he had no choice but to nod. The huge volcano is majestic and terrifying enough from a distance, but when you look closely, you feel even more small, and you can't see the top at all from the foot of the mountain, and the sky is covered with volcanic ash, and the sky is black and oppressive. The volcano pierced the pitch-black sky from the halfway point of the mountain, and rushed straight up, far from its mouth. Standing here, Morey felt in his heart that the sky had fallen halfway!
It was as if the black canopy had collapsed and turned into a rough cliff that stretched across the east and west of the earth, and could not have been crossed at all, and if it had not been seen in the distance, Morey could not even imagine that it was a volcano. The surrounding rocks are all charred black, but there is a faint metallic texture, even if it is far from the crater, it feels hot to the touch.
Since two days ago, the temperature has risen sharply, and the reason why the Minotaur brothers are sweating profusely now, tiredness is only one of the reasons, and more because it is too hot!
Looking from afar, you can see long golden-red snakes winding on the mountain in the distance, those are all magma that has erupted before and has not solidified, and the skin will be scorched and cracked if you get close, and you will definitely have to lose a finger when you touch it. The black volcanic dust was blown all over the sky by the hot wind, and unless it was a demon who liked flames, it was definitely no good to stay here for a long time. Even if you take a deep breath, your throat will be hot.
After crossing a small hill, a large-scale demon gathering place appeared in front of him not far away, Elliot's eyes couldn't help but light up, although he was also tired, he still greeted, and couldn't help but speed up his pace. Morey was surprised to find that this so-called demon gathering place was not a village or town at all, but more like a camp. Most of the buildings inside are temporary, with a vague feeling of magic being quick, the style is all hideous and terrifying, quite demonic, and the perimeter is surrounded by some tall bony railings, which is also like a decent look.
The three of them had been on the road for a few days from outside, and they were already a little impatient, and when they finally saw the gathering place, they couldn't help but run over excitedly. Morey hesitated, but gritted his teeth and followed.
I don't know why, seeing the silence of this volcano, Morey is always a little uneasy in his heart.
The lava was obviously just flowing quietly, but it gave Morey a feeling of roaring and shaking, and even the volcano seemed to tremble slightly. But when asked about Elliot, he didn't feel that way, as did Gruul and Giant Hoof. Although Morey felt uneasy, there was nothing wrong with thinking about it, after all, it was the first time he had seen such a large volcano, and it was normal for him to feel more dangerous, and when he thought of this, he barely suppressed his worries.
The camp is not big, and it is similar to the Morning Star Courtyard if it dies, but Rao is also the place where Morey has seen the most demons, Elliot said that a camp like this can generally have about five hundred demons, and Morey is even a little nervous in his heart. Eliot only glanced at him blankly, his eyes seemed to be watching the hillbilly enter the city, and he couldn't have thought of the reason why Morey was nervous - in fact, if he had been thrown here by a human with an undetermined mind, he might have been scared and cried by this time, and Morey dared to come only by relying on the demonic body, and in fact his heart was a little drumming.
"Stop!" a demon-like egg shouted when he saw Morey and the others coming. "Pay first!"
The demon as a whole looked like a flaming red monster egg, the size of a watermelon, the eggshell split a slit from the middle, revealing two eye-like fires, and the lower part was cracked, hanging down a flaming tail Maybe it was a tail, but it could actually be a foot, because this slender flame was connected to the ground. But fire was an intangible thing after all, and Morey felt that it should not be standing, but floating. Its voice was very childish, and it spoke with a childlike tone, but there was something else that caught Morey's attention.
The magic pattern on its eggshell is somewhat similar to the fire bomb technique.
"Three gold coins! If you don't have any money, you can exchange it for something, otherwise you will leave, and this gathering place will not take anyone in vain." "Don't look at this egg's voice, he can speak very strongly.
It turns out that gold is also used as currency in hell! Morey suddenly showed a strange expression, Kidd gave him a lot of gold coins, but unfortunately he couldn't bring them at all, and when he could use them now, he didn't have any of them!
Elliot snorted, but instead of getting angry, he glanced at Morey. Morey suddenly felt puzzled, but then he heard Elliot whisper. "The three pieces of magic gold you found on Pipiru are worth a few dollars, and giving it one is more than enough. ”
Eliot knew that Morey didn't understand this, so he quietly told Morey. He didn't want Morey to be looked down upon by that egg, after all, in Elliot's opinion, Morey was now covered by him, and if Morey lost face, it would be equivalent to slapping him in the face.
Hearing this, Morey honestly took it out of his arms and asked quietly by the way. "What kind of demon is this egg?"
"You don't know? This is the Flame Demon, the appearance of the Infant Flame Demon. Elliot's eyes became a little strange, but he was relieved. "Oh, by the way, you've used lava crystals before, and you've evolved directly, so you probably haven't experienced this time. But this fire demon is good, although it can't converge the main body yet, but the magic pattern is very organized, and he can speak when he is still an egg, and he should be able to become a medium, or even a high-level fire demon after he grows up."
Ignoring Elliot's brain supplement, Morey was very surprised, because he really didn't expect the fire demon to be like this. Unlike the high-level demon fathers and mothers, most of the low-level demons are born naturally in the scorched black land, slowly evolve from childhood, awaken consciousness and reason, the gap between the adult and the juvenile of this kind of demon is quite large, not only may evolve from low-level demons to high-level, but at the same time, the change in form is also obvious.
However, although he understood this, Morey really didn't expect that the hatchling of the fire demon was actually an egg.
At this time, a demon suddenly came out of the camp, and Xiao Yan Demon glanced at those people, but he left Morey and the others aside and went to help them first. "Hmph! obviously we came first!" Elliot's eyes flashed with anger, and he was about to step forward, but was stopped by Morey, he didn't want to cause anything from here, so he quickly persuaded him.
Elliot hesitated, but finally held back his breath and muttered quietly. "Hmph! I only know how to make it convenient for my own clan, and there are no rules at all!"
But he seemed to think of something, and suddenly turned to Morey. "Aren't you also a fire demon, show your true appearance, if you want to enter and exit the camp, you must use your body. As he spoke, Elliot had already spread his black wings, and a cloud of blue-black magic enveloped his body, and when he spread out again, his black-red feathered winged demon body was already revealed.
The little flame demon heard the movement, looked over, and immediately screamed when he saw Elliot's appearance. "Bloodfeather's Winged Demon!" The few fire demons who came out of the camp were also dumbfounded when they saw this, and they immediately stood on the side of the road without saying a word, bowing their heads respectfully.
The identity of the Winged Demon is too expensive, it is a powerful and rare race in Hell, and Elliot is not surprised, but just looks at them proudly. The two minotaurs also roared angrily, turning into more than four meters tall minotaur demons, with muscles and flesh knotted all over their bodies and looking fierce.
"Ahh
Elliot glanced at the fire demons defiantly, threw the piece of magic gold here, and said disdainfully. "What else can it be, of course it's in the camp!
"Yes!" Xiao Yan Demon hurriedly and carefully picked up the magic gold, but glanced at Morey and suddenly said in embarrassment. "Well, you still have a companion who hasn't revealed the demon's true form. ”
"What's the matter, Morey?" said Eliot, a curious look in his eyes. In fact, although he didn't say it, he also wanted to see Morey's body, since he realized that until now, Elliot has never seen Morey's body exposed, it is impossible to say that he is not curious, even Gruul and Giant Hoof can't help but look at it.
"Oh yes, yes. Morey stood as expressionless as a piece of wood, but his gaze swept over the adult fire demons again.
What a head!!!At this time, Morey's heart was roaring.
Unbeknownst to Eliot, Morey felt as if a basin of ice water had come to him on a cold day, the kind that had been splashed from head to heel when Morey heard that those demons were fire demons.
Because he doesn't look the same as the Fire Demon at all!
