Chapter Eighty-Seven: "The Big Iron Cauldron"!
Valley of Fire.
"B5" area.
In the "D3" area, Xia Yan encountered a good group of Black Ruga, and one of their tribes, Dai Ruby, barely met Natsuhiko's requirements, at least his seemingly "risky" behavior this time was not without gain, but still gained something.
However, in the "B5" area, there are no ideal elves to be seen.
Fortunately, Kusunoki and Ishino have been collecting information for him, and in time they sent the information to Natsuhiko through the Night Thief Salamander.
Looking at the paper handed by the night thief salamander, the area codes of some areas were written, and one of them was marked with emphasis.
"Is the 'A2' zone, an area that has not yet been assigned and has a relatively high risk factor?"
Xia Yan put away the piece of paper.
If it hasn't been assigned, it means that there is a higher chance of a rare fire spirit.
After leaving the "B5" area, Xia Yan rushed straight to the "A2" area.
It's close to the depths of the Valley of Fire, and you can even see the end of the canyon in the valley of fire.
The "A2" area, on the other hand, is not a small cracked canyon, but a space in the fracture of the rock formation of the Valley of Flames, and the entrance is a narrow tunnel similar to the entrance to a cave, and after entering and continuing to walk for a while, you can reach the location of the "A2" area.
A large space within the rock wall of the Valley of Flames, filled with pillars and cones hanging from above, makes it look like stepping into a dense rock forest.
You can't see the end at a glance.
And the temperature in this fault space is very high, which is even more exaggerated than the already high temperature of the Valley of Flames.
Natsuhiko had to stretch out his superpowers and isolate some of the heat before he could walk here.
And the road here is very difficult to walk, and the dense craggy rocks on the ground are like sharp blades, scattered on the ground.
Even if it is a special boot for walking in the field, walking on this kind of road will turn into tatters in minutes.
Fortunately, Natsuhiko is a superpower and can isolate a certain amount of damage.
Boom Boom –
Not long after entering, a roar was suddenly heard from within, as well as the vibration of the fault space.
Dusty gravel scattered from the top, accompanied by sharp cones.
Not only should you be careful of the sharp ground, but you also have to be careful of these cones that may fall from above at any time, if you accidentally hit them, you may not be far from death.
Xia Yan, who heard the movement, hesitated a little and followed.
Not much.
I saw the fragments of rock pillars scattered on the ground, and a behemoth.
Big Rock Serpent!
It was swaying wildly, whipping the ground, and the pillars of rock collapsed, accompanied by a constant roar, and the cone of rock that swayed and fell from above.
The big rock snake is struggling because it is being attacked.
And what attacked it was the metallic ants lying on its body, but it was much larger than the real ants, it looked like it was wrapped in steel, and there were circles on its body, which looked like mechanical parts, and the pair of huge fangs were biting the body of the big rock snake.
Iron ants.
An insect and steel spirit that prefers to live in caves or rocks.
As insect elves, their favorite food is tender and delicious leaves, and as steel elves, they can also draw nutrients from rocks to ensure that they can grow and survive.
Obviously, Xia Yan happened to encounter the behavior of this group of iron ants preying on the big eyes.
The normal growth of the big rock snake can reach the level of more than eight meters and close to nine meters, and it can definitely be regarded as a behemoth among elves, and even if the elf of iron ants is adult, the size is at most about thirty centimeters, and few can exceed fifty centimeters.
And such an extremely huge size gap also creates this extreme sense of hunting contrast at this time.
Thirty centimeters of elves hunting nearly nine meters of behemoths?
But that's just the way it is.
The large size of the large rock snake gives it strong strength and strengthens its body, but it also gives it some shortcomings, such as maneuvering in a small space, delicate operation, and so on.
And the thirty-centimeter-sized elf, when lying on its body, is indeed a large rock snake that cannot touch the existence no matter how much it struggles.
There were at least dozens of dense iron ants, and they were lying tightly on its body, and two sharp teeth were constantly tearing at it.
The sturdy body it prides itself on is not as strong as it is under the metal teeth of the iron ants.
Rock fragments are constantly falling from its body.
This was accompanied by more frantic struggles and rolls of the Great Rock Serpent, and a constant roar.
But no matter how much it tried to use the ground and rock pillars to get these iron ants stuck in the cracks of its body, it could only sporadically drop a few of them.
But after landing, the iron ant did not suffer much damage, and after turning over, it climbed onto its huge body again.
Moreover.
The iron ants are very well organized, and one of them has a leading iron ant who is constantly giving orders, thus making their hunt faster.
This kind of hunting is something Xia Yan has never seen before.
I have to admit that it has given a lot of visual impact.
It's like a swarm of ants attacking an elephant.
Iron ants are indeed the nemesis of elves like the Great Rock Serpent.
However, when the iron ants were about to bite through the hardest outer shell of the Great Rock Serpent and touch the real weak point inside it, the Great Rock Snake suddenly stopped struggling.
Squinting at the eyes, he made a decision.
The body squirmed violently, moving rapidly in a certain direction.
The Great Rock Serpent was still crawling fast in a straight line, and some of the pillars and cones that extended to the ground had little effect on it, and they all broke when they rushed over.
Xia Yan, who was standing in place, did not attract their attention, looking at the big rock snake that was quickly moving away, Xia Yan thought about it, and chose to follow.
The spirit of the Great Rock Snake is rare, but it still has a certain value.
In addition, the large rock snake actually has an evolutionary type, the large steel snake, but it seems that it has not been discovered now, and if you can catch a large rock snake and use it as a topic for a paper to publish and confirm the existence of the large steel snake, it is a good choice.
Thinking of this, Xia Yan took a step forward and chased after them with Yongjira.
Soon, the large rock snake burrowed headlong into a small tunnel that extended downward, and when it got close to the tunnel, it could feel a wave of heat rushing towards its face.
Xia Yan, who stopped at the mouth of the messy tunnel, faintly saw the sporadic firelight at the end of the tunnel.
Maybe...... Under this tunnel is the most important place in this area.
There may even be a reason why the temperature in the Valley of Fire in this huge canyon is so high.
Without further hesitation, in the package of Yongjira's superpowers, he jumped down and quickly fell downward.
Tongues of fire the thickness of fingers also continued to drill out of the cracks in the rock of this tunnel.
When he touched the bottom, Xia Yan raised his eyes and saw a kind of fire spirit.
And looking around at the surroundings, it confirmed the conjecture in his heart.
This is indeed one of the reasons why the Valley of Flames will continue to be in high temperatures all year round, because if you have to say, the Valley of Flames is actually like a "big iron cauldron" that is scorched on the flames!!
