Chapter 55: The Lava Abyss
With the superior power of the Star Spirit Armor, Zeratul, Zhuba, and the Zealot squad fell unscathed from the vertical circular cavern to the bottom, revealing a seemingly never-ending passage in front of them.
Zeratu had activated his psionic skill again and disappeared into the passage, Zhu Ba glanced at the place where the armor on his body wrapped his arm, there was a blue display bar with five divisions on it, and here it showed the psionic energy reserve of this set of armor on Zhu Ba's body.
Now, there is only one separation left in the blue bar.
"Psionic energy is depleting a bit quickly, so it has to be used sparingly. ”
Zhu Ba frowned, closed the spiritual energy barrier on his body and the spiritual energy blade on his arm, he was not an authentic star spirit after all. Like Kamano and Zeratul, they can generate a steady stream of psionic energy, which is enough to maintain the psionic barrier and psionic blades on their bodies, and even have excess psionic energy that can be stored as an additional expense during battle.
The closed psionic armor could only provide basic defenseless defenses, roughly equal to a set of heavy armor, and Zhu Ba gradually poked out his own armament, Edman's metal claws, and then leaned forward, ** ran, behind him, the fanatics with the same structure of legs also used the same posture, closely following him.
I don't know why, the oxygen content in the air in this channel is much higher than above, feeling the taste of the abundant oxygen circulating in the inside of the body by hemoglobin carriers, Zhu Ba couldn't help but feel like he wanted to howl, but in the end he still suppressed his impulse.
Camano suddenly ran to his side from behind Zhu Ba and went hand in hand with him while telling Zhu Ba what he had discovered.
"Brother Bajie, do you feel that the temperature is much higher all of a sudden?"
Zhu Ba looked at Kamano's slightly blue face, and was slightly stunned, and then remembered the message that Kahala Dao communicated to him.
Star spirits do not have sweat glands, their skin is blue when they are hot, and they can only cool themselves through psionic energy.
Feeling the air in the passage slightly, it did tend to get hotter and hotter, and at the same time, the rocks that formed the passage under Zhu Ba's feet were also slightly emitting heat, he confirmed it again, and then shouted thinking about the empty space in front of him.
"Zeratul, how much is the vertical depth from the mothership now?"
"Five miles. ”
Zeratul's deep voice came out of nothingness, answering Zhu Ba's question.
"Five miles?"
Zhu Ba calculated it in his heart, and at the same time compared it with the data of the earth.
"It looks like we're close to the mantle layer, and it's probably magma underneath. ”
The team that recaptured the core of the mothership fell silent again, except for the sound of footsteps trampling on the rocks. After running for more than an hour, the smell of sulfur in the air became stronger and stronger, and the unique roar of the demon giant insect was already heard at the front of the passage, and Zhu Ba and all the team members knew that the destination had arrived.
However, just as the team was about to step out of the passage, Zeratul suddenly appeared out of nothingness, gathered everyone together, and then silently took out the three-dimensional mapper.
On the instrument, the golden dot of light and the green dot representing the team were very close, and Zeratul looked at the map, the sound of the masked cloth constantly fluctuating.
"Commander Phoenix has already told me how to break through that demonic worm's psionic defenses by activating the mothership core in its body. The Mothership Core drains the psionic energy of all creatures it comes into contact with the moment it activates. The way to activate the Mothership Core is to activate the cartograph at the closest distance. So I need your cover. ”
Zeratu said his plan, but Zhu Ba heard the decision in these almost emotionless words. With a slight turn of thought, Zhu Ba knew what Zeratu was planning and he had to stop him, so Zhu Ba said.
"Zeratul, you're also a psionic creature and you'll be sucked dry. ”
"It's nothing, it's my honor to give my life for my race. ”
Zeratul's intentions were unexpectedly resolute, and I don't know if it was the realization that he had almost died once, which made him have a unique thought about death and wanted to get close to him.
Failing to dissuade himself from his own point of view, Zhu Ba immediately changed his angle and hit Zeratul's weakness.
"However, your race still needs you, so let's go, I'm not a star spirit, I don't have spiritual energy in my body, it's safest for me to go. ”
"Then please, Your Excellency Bajie. ”
Zeratu thought about it for a long time, and finally handed over the map instrument in his hand to Zhu Ba. And all the fanatics were silent, watching the handover ceremony.
Putting away the map and hanging it on his waist, Zhu Ba and the fanatics slowly moved forward against the cave wall, and Zeratul had disappeared into the void again.
When he was only one step away from the exit, Juba stopped, and when Zeratul's voice came from the emptiness, he was the first to walk out of the passage.
Fiery red, blazing, galloping, bright.
Four words summed up everything Zhu Ba saw, this is a world of lava. It's also a world full of life. A huge underground volcano rises from this dome, and a river of bright red lava is slowly flowing from the crater, and the smell of sulfur emanates from the river.
On both sides of the lava river, countless dark red rocks form a craggy mountain, and some fire elemental creatures like active flames roam the banks of the river.
The position where Zhu Ba walked out was the left side of the river, and on the right side of the river, a small castle towered, and snuggling next to the castle was Zhu Ba's target this time, the demonic giant worm that devoured the core of the mothership.
"I feel the breath of the devil!"
The moment he walked out of the passage, Zhu Ba felt the breath of **, which was like the cave where Illidan was born, and it could definitely give birth to a powerful demon. "Be careful, there may be another species of creature from another plane here. ”
Signaling the fanatics to get them all into battle, Zhu Ba led them through the dark red volcanic rocks.
The fire elementals on both sides of the river were still frolicking, but Zhu Ba, who had come to the lava river, was in a predicament. The temperature of the river is so high that it is impossible to wade through it, and if you go around it from the other side of the volcano, you will waste a lot of time.
"Maybe we can build a bridge out of these rocks. ”
Zeratu made a suggestion, but was immediately rejected by Zhu Ba.
"No, the volcanic rocks will melt directly in the lava river, and the sound of throwing the rocks will definitely wake up the bugs or the demons in the castle. ”
However, Zhu Ba thought about it for a while, and thought about Zeratul's proposal from another angle, and then the attendant suddenly became clear.
"Zeratul, your suggestion is good, why should we cross the river? Compatriots, shout loudly. Keep that bug on our toes. ”
Under Zhu Ba's explanation, Camano and the other fanatics dispersed the formation slightly, and immediately released the passion of the young man and shouted loudly. "Cuihua, I miss you!" "I'm going to marry you tomorrow!I'm going to marry you every day!" "I'm a little bird......"
All sorts of miscellaneous songs rang out of their throats, and then drifted across half of the vault, into the ears of the demonic giant worms and into the castle where they snuggled.
"Ah, it's noisy, it's dead, it's going to die!"
Suddenly, a sharp banshee howl came out of the castle, cutting off the chaotic singing of Camano and the others, and then a graceful figure flew into the air from the castle.
A tight-fitting black leather suit envelops the cracking double-peaks and Yingying's waist, a pair of small back-curved horns smoothly grow on the two sides of the slender ears, a pair of wide hairless wings swaying behind the back and the slender barbed pointed tail, and the unique hooves under the pair of slender legs.
The one who uttered the banshee's howl was a succubus, a high-level demon who was good at seducing others and taking advantage of them. (To be continued.) )
