Chapter Seventy-Three: Precursors of Eruption
The body texture of those fire demons was like lava, and flames came out of the cracks from time to time. The appearance of the body is strange, but the bottom half of the body is all in the form of fire, extending downward like that egg until it touches the ground. This makes their legs and feet look like flames lit on the ground, leaving a scorched trail wherever they walk.
Their bloodlines are very mixed, with human forms, birds, and beast forms, but these fire demons all have one thing in common, that is, the lower body is definitely composed of fire and magma. They all had bottles of green potions hanging from their waists, which was what Elliot described as volcanic potions, and it was estimated that they had also come to collect lava crystal nuclei
But anyway, if Morey reveals his true form now, even a fool can at least be sure that they are definitely not the same species!
"You look so strange," Guru asked, with some concern. "Uncomfortable?"
Morey has been in Hell since he hit him, and for the first time he misses Belio, and if he did, he would definitely be able to think of a lot of solutions!
The only good thing about being in Hell is that he won't be seen by Bario, which makes Morey feel like healed from a stubborn illness, but he can't help either. The current situation is really unexpected, and Morey is now at least sure that he is not a fire demon, so the question is - what kind of demon is it?
In fact, the question that Morey is more worried about is whether this body is really a demon. As soon as I thought of this, I couldn't help but frown. What if the identity is revealed, what treatment will a human be treated in hell?
Do you want to fight, expose this demon body, and see if you can be recognized? Maybe it's more reliable to make desperate plans All kinds of thoughts flashed in Morey's mind, and everyone was looking at him, but just when Morey felt overwhelmed, a strange feeling suddenly appeared!
An inexplicable sense of irritability rose from his heart, and Morey looked at the mouth of the large volcano in disbelief, and the bad premonition before suddenly increased several times!
"What's the matter, can't your true body be revealed?" Elliot said to Morey, frowning. "In that case, we'll just go in, and they won't dare to say more!"
Morey would have been overjoyed if he had heard that three seconds ago, but now he was staring at the crater and softly spitting out a few words.
"What did you say?" Elliot leaned closer curiously, and then heard Morey's words clearly--it's going to be a big deal!
Elliot shook his head depressedly, and just wanted to laugh at Morey, but only to hear a terrifying roar that resounded through the heavens and the earth!
The black of the sky was suddenly dyed with a scorching dark red, and the rumbling and muffled sound shook everyone's hearts into a blank! The earth began to tremble, and large swaths of blazing red magma fell down, and the sky and the earth cracked like a huge earthquake that caused many demons to fall to the ground without standing firm!
Morey grabbed a rock beside him, and his sharp nails were inserted directly into it, and then he stood firm. Elliot flapped his wings and floated, although not affected by the shock, his face was shocked. But the others were so lucky, and they fell into the gourd, but the demons were rough and thick-skinned, and they were not injured.
Elliot immediately came back to his senses, but when he looked at the sky, he suddenly roared in horror. "Gruul! Get out of there!!"
It's too late, though!
At the last moment, Gruul just glanced up blankly, and a blazing red magma fell from the sky and smashed right on its body!
Elliot's expression suddenly became gloomy, and Morey's face was ugly. As for the giant hoof, his eyes were blank on the spot, and he sat on the ground with his butt open, his mouth wide open, as if he wanted to shout but couldn't, and it took a long time for him to scream a few words hoarsely. "Gruul, my brother!!"
The outburst was only for a moment, and then it was calm again, as if the previous scene was just an illusion. But the black smoke and magma in front of him were still flowing, and a large piece of magma had fallen into the camp before, and many demons had vaporized on the spot, and they disappeared there alive without even a scream, such a terrifying picture!
The other demons stared at each other in a daze, and I don't know who screamed first, and then hundreds of demons rushed out of the camp in panic.
"Damn, it's a precursor to an eruption!" a flame demon wolf scrambled to his feet, scolding in his mouth, but with the slightest fear in his eyes. "Why! The Soul Furnace didn't follow the rules this time, it only erupted a month ago!"
"We have to run quickly, it won't take three days for the big volcano to really erupt!"
All the demons fled in terror, and the surroundings became chaotic, and Elliot took a look at where Gruul had been before, gritting his teeth in hatred.
Morey took a deep breath and was about to flee with Elliot, but his steps suddenly stopped, and he turned his head back with an ugly face. The previous fire demon was knocked to the ground by a troll who rushed out of the camp, although he was angry in his heart, he didn't want to say anything at this time, he got up angrily and prepared to continue to escape, but he saw a figure standing in front of him and threw a piece of magic gold.
"Leave your volcano potion behind, I bought it. ”
"The shelf life of the Volcano Potion is only one week, don't blame me for cheating you!" said the Fire Demon with a strange expression.
He knew that the person in front of him was in league with that high-level winged demon, and after thinking about it, he still made his words clear. However, seeing that Morey seemed to insist on buying it, his expression did not change in the slightest. "In that case, okay!" The fire demon looked at the piece of magic gold in his hand, and without saying a word, he handed over all the two bottles of potions on his body to Morey, turned around and fled, leaving behind a piece of vellum with the demon's words recorded by the way.
As soon as Elliot turned around, he happened to see this scene and couldn't help but roar angrily. "What are you buying that for, do you want to go up at this time! There will be a small eruption at any time in the past three days, and going to the crater at this time is looking for death!"
Morey picked up the volcano potion and smiled bitterly. "You guys go first, it's okay to send me here. ”
It's not that Morey's brain is hot, but at this juncture, he suddenly received a piece of news that is definitely not good - Belio's magic power may not last for more than two days!
Even in Hell, the volcano is not so easy to encounter, and Balio's magic can only keep Morey in Hell for fifteen days after all. And it seems to realize that this time is too tight, so it deliberately left a message that if it can really touch the volcano, it must strive to get the lava crystal nucleus, and the opportunity to enter hell is too precious!
There were still three days before the full eruption, and by that time Morey had already returned to the human world, and all he had to deal with was the magma that fell from the small eruption. Although this is dangerous, as long as you are careful enough to deal with it, it may not be impossible to avoid it, and under the comparison of risks and benefits, Morey chooses to take a risk! The materials proposed by Belio are too rare in the world, according to this situation, you may not be able to get useful information for a few years and decades, and you can't solve the problem of the fire bomb array, which means that you have to be restricted all the time, and Morey can't wait!
Although it might be easier to get the lava crystal nucleus if Elliot was with him, Morey could return to the human world, but Elliot couldn't, and when the volcano erupted, it would be a death. Morey thought about tricking Elliot into helping, but after hesitating for a moment, he finally felt a little ashamed of his demonic idea, and forced people to die, and Morey couldn't do it.
"If you want to die, I won't accompany you!" Elliot gritted his teeth, but finally turned around and left with his giant hoof. Morey shook his head, and walked alone against the fleeing demon towards the mountain.
The demon gathering place is only built at the foot of the mountain, not a real large volcanic mountain, and the higher you go, the more you feel the scorching heat. Morey walked for half an hour, and finally stepped on the charred rock, but this step fell, and his face suddenly became a little solemn, "It's so hot!"
It didn't take long for there to be no more demons around, and there was silence around the volcano, and no one was going to linger here before the eruption. Even the occasional spilled magma from a small eruption is enough to burn a person to the point that there are no bones left.
Morey felt the sudden drastic change in temperature under his feet, looked at the wilderness where there was no one else, and couldn't help but smile self-deprecatingly.
"Go slow enough!" a familiar voice suddenly came from the sky behind him, and Morey couldn't help but look back, only to find that Elliot had gone and returned, and his face was very ugly. "Don't sue me, you're really going to die. ”
Morey was a little surprised, but still said. "I have to go, I don't have a chance if I miss today. ”
"Hmph, I don't know if I'm alive or dead!" Elliot suddenly fell, but the heat under his feet made the corners of his mouth hurt on the spot. Elliot snorted, barely screaming, and floated slightly under his feet, keeping a distance of twenty centimeters from the ground. "At this time, you will definitely die, I came back to sue you, and now it's too late to turn back!"
Elliot wanted to see hesitation in Morey's eyes, but unfortunately he didn't. "I'm not going to die, I'll leave when I collect the lava crystals. You should leave quickly, and if we have a chance to meet in the future, I will invite you to drink again!"
"It seems that no matter how much I persuade you, I won't listen," Elliot's expression changed for a moment, but finally he sighed and said slowly. "In that case, then give me a bottle!"
"What?" asked Morey, confused.
"Volcano Potion, I just saw you take two bottles," Elliot said with a wink. "If you let you die here, it will be like I don't have credibility, but I said it in advance, I just acted according to my mood, and in the end, I don't guarantee whether you are dead or alive!"
Morey hesitated. "Don't regret it, it's too late to turn back. ”
"The noble Winged Demon naturally has a way to get out, you still have to worry about yourself!" Elliot snorted coldly.
He said that there was a way to escape, but in the overwhelming magma, how could he dodge? Although he was a little puzzled, Morey did not refuse, because if there was the help of the Winged Demon, it would be very useful. Morey thought about it and agreed, grabbing Elliot's ankle with his hand and hanging it underneath, and let out an exclamation from time to time as he watched the magma flames pass under his feet.
Elliot had never really flown at high speed in order to take care of the speed of the Minotaur brothers, and it wasn't until today that Morey knew how fast the Wing Demon could fly! I have to admit that with Elliot's help, the speed of progress suddenly increased a lot, and Morey also experienced for the first time what it was like to fly. I saw Eliot's huge wings flutter, like a strange bird, completely ignoring the ravines and cracks of the volcano, and speeding away into the sky.
"Count me unlucky! Alas, I didn't expect the price of terminating the contract to be so terrible"
Elliot vibrated his wings and flew at high speed, although his face was ugly, but in the end he only smiled bitterly. "I've never heard of wine."
