Chapter 282: Illustrated Guide to Special Ingredients. No. 78. Firescale monitor lizard
Is this place finally back again....... An area with a depth of five hundred.
Looking at the familiar and unfamiliar huge volcano not far away, Jiang Ember really had a feeling of mixed feelings for a while.
The last time Jiang Ember came to the "Forbidden Land", Lannacel had taught him the most important indicator of this area, which was "depth".
Due to the fact that the terrain often changes dramatically, ordinary maps are meaningless, and it is likely that the map drawn last time will be scrapped this time.
Because of this, the first president of the "Adventurers' Guild" once laid seven plane nails in this area.
Each plane nail is separated by a distance of five hundred miles, and the deeper you go, the harsher the environment you encounter, and the more terrifying the strength of the monsters becomes.
According to the general situation, most of the adventure teams that explored the forbidden land outside the realm only dared to operate at a depth of five hundred miles, which was the case when Jiang Ember and Yumi came over.
But even if it was only active in an area within five hundred depths, the strength and density of the monsters had reached a point where the two of them could not bear it at all....... Of course, that was all before.
At this time, after Jiang Ember gained new strength, the area he brought An Jie and Lanna Cel to at night was the "Ice and Fire Peak" located at the end of the Deep 500 Zone.
Or rather....... It used to be the "Ice and Fire Peak", but now it's not.
The reason why Jiang Ember was impressed by this area last time was mainly because there were two mountains of ice and fire side by side.
The active volcano on the left can be seen from afar, and the huge mountain peak is roaring violently, like a huge monster constantly spewing hot smoke and rushing brown flames.
Looking at the ice and snow mountain on the right, you can see that the cold wind is tearing the air, and the snow and ice flying in the sky are enough to turn everything around you into frozen meat in the refrigerator.
The two peaks of ice, fire and ice stand together so strangely, and the molten blackened ground and the ice-covered surface are bordered in this way, giving people a sense of tension in the Chu River and Han realm.
It's just that when Jiang Ember came here again a few months later, the situation changed dramatically.
The place is still this place, the volcano is still the same volcano, but the thousand-meter ice peak that used to stand on the right has disappeared without a trace.
An entire mountain peak disappeared completely in just a few months, leaving behind dozens of miles of scorched earth, as well as many huge pits and the corpses of various monsters everywhere.
Seeing this situation, Lannasser, who was floating in the air with Jiang Ember around her waist, couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and said:
"Judging by this, there must have been a great battle between the lords of these two peaks not long ago....... It's obvious to win or lose."
According to Lannathel's knowledge of the powerful monster "Juggernaut", it is so common that they are fighting each other for turf, and it is not even enough news.
Especially with this kind of two Ice and Fire Peaks leaning together, the masters on both sides must kill or drive one of them away to rest in peace, otherwise they won't even be able to sleep peacefully.
And for An Jie, who had never been to the Forbidden Land outside the realm before, after seeing such a vast scene for the first time, she couldn't help but ask excitedly:
"What are the traces below from the battle between the two Juggernauts? How good they can fight, I don't know how they compare to the Worm King Guards who fought with me."
The strongest enemy An Jie had faced before was the Insect King Guard, who was level 61, and that Demon Flower Mantis monster from the Prison Realm really left an extremely deep impression on her.
Because of this, after seeing the traces left by the two masters below, she would unconsciously compare the Hell Realm monster.
Hearing this, Jiang Ember shook his head and said with a smile: "Don't think about it, although there are only five hundred depths here, it is impossible for someone who can be the master here to be weaker than that bug."
According to what Jiang Ember had explored before, this volcano was full of huge lava monitor lizards, and the level was generally around level 40
The elite boss of the evil point can even go close to level 60.
Since even the elite boss can reach level 60, it is estimated that the master who rules this volcano is at least around level 70, which is much more fierce than the insect king guard.
And most importantly, the Juggernaut is strong in large part because this is its lair, and this is the most suitable environment for it to survive and fight.
If you want to fight it in the master's lair, the difficulty is not a star and a half higher, it is completely super hard mode, and if you don't get it right, it will become someone's meal.
Of course, Jiang Ember didn't plan to deal with the master here for the time being, which didn't mean that he wouldn't come here to hunt ingredients.
In fact, the reason why Jiang Ember brought An Jie and Lanna Cel to this volcano at night was not only to test the "Spirit Costume Reconstruction" and his new power, but also because he fell in love with a large number of fresh ingredients crawling all over the ground.
It didn't take long for the three of them to quietly descend from the scorched clouds and come to the charred earth covered in molten and scorched earth.
The volcano's ground has long been scorched and blackened by the high heat it has been subjected to, and the ground is full of streams of red magma, many of which can easily collapse.
If you step on the ground that is as crisp as chocolate chips, you may sink into the hot molten slurry and turn into a humanoid piece of coke in an instant.
Judging from the situation that Jiang Yan personally studied last time, the molten temperature here is generally three times that of normal molten slurry, which is at least 3,000 degrees Celsius or more....... The benefit of this temperature is that people die without pain at all, and suicide belongs to the holy land.
Because of the danger buried everywhere here, Jiang Ember did not let An Jie and Lannacel move around at will, but hugged them tightly by his side.
After being held around and walking cautiously for a distance, An Jie couldn't help but ask in a low voice:
"You guy....... Can you really see that the ground here is safe, or do you just want to hold us?"
"Still?" Jiang Ember glanced at her and sighed, "I can hug you at any time I want, but it's no joke to walk around here, I don't want to see you turn into charcoal-grilled Anjie."
"Cut, it's just a high temperature of two or three thousand degrees, and it can't burn me, what are you afraid of."
"Really? Then I'll extinguish the silver flame that covers you."
"Hey! Wait a minute! It's hot! My clothes! My clothes are on fire!"
Seeing An Jie hurriedly patting the corners of her clothes that were quickly burning after being contaminated with the hot air, Jiang Jie laughed and covered her with the heat-insulating silver flame again, so that she could continue to move forward.
Speaking of which, the silver flame divine power that "Teacher Catherine" gave him is really useful, and there is basically nothing that cannot be isolated.
Judging from Jiang Yan's research, this silver flame is not so much fire as some special ability that involves the spatial level.
Whether it is water and fire, swords, or even various spells, breath and other invisible things to the naked eye, as long as you use this silver flame to separate, there is basically no room to pass, it is very terrifying.
After experiencing the superiority of this divine power firsthand, Jiang Yan's desire to take it for himself became even stronger....... That's what he's working on right now.
If Ms. Catherine had known what I was thinking, she would have scolded me for being bold and not knowing what to do.
Hehe, but this kind of thing is really not something that ordinary people can do, and fortunately, I'm not an ordinary person.
Although Catherine has always thought that Jiang Ash's biggest hole card is the Blade of Desire and Passion, only he knows that the Pupil of Truth is his biggest and most secret trump card.
With the Pupil of Truth's ability to override this plane as a backing, he has the possibility of completing his follow-up research........ It's just that this kind of thing must not be known to Teacher Catherine.
Just as Jiang Ember was thinking this, he suddenly saw several familiar figures in a molten pool on the right side of the mountain road.
Lizards, these three giant lizards, three lava giants entrenched in this volcano
Lizard.
At this time, these three monitor lizards, which were at least five or six meters long, with indestructible charred black scales like steel, and bursts of black smoke emitting from their bloody mouths, were swimming gracefully........ Soak in the hot springs.
Strange as it may be, they are indeed soaking in hot springs, soaking in this molten slurry of more than 3,000 degrees.
One of the lizards soaked its lower body in boiling molten molten slurry, and its upper body lay on the charred rock, its eyes closed, as if it were asleep.
The other two lizards had just crawled out of the molten slurry, and their bodies were still stained with a large amount of flaming fluid, and they were still stretching their limbs comfortably, looking like they had just finished soaking in the hot springs.
When he saw these lizards, Jiang Yan's "Special Ingredients Illustrated Book" immediately flashed their specific details:

.......
Since you can enter the "Special Ingredient Illustrated Book", it means that this ingredient must be very delicious and contains a lot of holy energy.
Thinking of the delicious taste of these giant lizards, Jiang Ember couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva and said to the two ladies next to him:
"You wait a little here, don't move, I'll get some supper."
Because this "scorched volcano" is full of monitor lizards, Jiang Yan's food target tonight is naturally these little Godzilla crawling all over the ground.
It's just that when she heard that she was going to eat the lizard tonight, Lannathel couldn't help frowning and asked suspiciously:
"This........ This lizard is good....... Is it delicious?"
At least from Lannathel's point of view, this group of hideous-looking guys is indeed not a good ingredient, and even makes people feel a little disgusting.
After all, this is a lizard, although it is five or six meters long, but it is also a lizard, right? Does this thing sound like it's edible?
Jiang Yan naturally expected Lannasser's resistance, and he explained:
"That thing just looks scary on the surface, but the skinned lizard meat is similar to chicken, but it's smoother and more nutritious, so you won't have any bad experience."
In fact, although lizards do not sound like normal food at first glance, in the real world before Jiang Ember crossed over, many regions, including China, had dishes cooked with various lizards.
In faraway Mexico, for example, the cute, small four-legged snake is basically an ingredient that can be encountered from food stalls to home kitchens, and they will roll lizard meat into tortillas to make the famous Mexican tata.
On the other side of the world, in the desert, Arabs also like to eat lizards, but not burritos but soup.
It is said that there is a saying that a bowl of lizard broth with golden pilaf will bring tears to the eyes of the chief, although I don't know if it is really that delicious.
As for the country where Jiang Ember was born, the lizard is more often used as a traditional Chinese medicine (skink).
However, there are still people who make huge "roasted whole lizards" like roasted whole sheep, or fry small lizards into crispy dried lizards to serve with alcohol.
It's just that compared to those ordinary lizards in the real world, these "firescale monitor lizards" crawling in front of Jiang Ember are not comparable to ordinary lizards.
This monster with a lot of energy in its body is much more delicious than the average monitor lizard, and if cooked properly, it is definitely a special dish that will be remembered for a lifetime.
So after letting the two of them stand and not move, Jiang Ember let go of An Jie and Lanna Ser, and he walked leisurely towards the lava pool.
Although it is in the monster's
On the territory, although he was facing three firescale monitor lizards with a level of 45 at the same time, his expression was extremely confident and calm, as if the other party was just a piece of meat on the chopping board.
Looking at his confident expression, An Jie couldn't help but turn her head to Lannacel and teased:
"It seems that this guy has indeed become a lot stronger recently, and if it continues like this, you will be left far behind."
Under normal circumstances, it is usually Lannassel who tries her best to tease An Jie, and it is very rare to be ridiculed in turn.
But today, after being ridiculed, Lannasel just snorted and didn't respond.
It's just that although she tried her best to pretend that she didn't hear it at all, her slightly pursed lips already revealed her emotional changes.
Indeed, as An Jie said, when the big guy has been getting stronger recently, and even the weakest Ailulu has improved by leaps and bounds, only Lannacel is the only one who remains in place.
If the previous Lannacel's strength was comparable to An Jie's, and much stronger than Ailulu, now she has long been left behind by the two.
To say that Lannathel didn't care about this kind of thing at all would certainly be impossible.
But after all, she is a psychic, and it is not so simple for a psychic to become stronger, mainly depending on whether she can get a good psychic creature.
Thinking of this, Lannather's eyes couldn't help but look at the sturdy firescale monitor lizards, and she seemed to have some plans in mind.
