Chapter 19 A Proverb
The [Emblem of Ice and Fire] that had just arrived was so useful.
With some essentia, Lindsay can add the power of fire and ice to her movements. The two can be converted at will, and they can be used at the same time.
It is faster and more effective than the traditional fire and water stirring.
In line with the principle of conserving resources, Lindsay changed the digging tools from pickaxes to chalky iron daggers, which were almost indestructible.
Wait until a few minutes later, and use this method to smash a few cracks.
Lindsay used steel ingots to synthesize a few more wedges, and according to the excavation trajectory, they drove into the Absolute Ice Jade.
Syllable! Syllable! Syllable!
Another few minutes of tinkling.
With a click, this piece of rare ore that was difficult to deal with finally succumbed under the cooperation of fire and water shock and wedge splitting, cracking a huge gap, and there were a few fragments, and it could even be picked up directly.
"Finally got me out."
Lindsay smiled and was naturally not polite.
He stuffed a few pieces into a bag and began to knock and smash again, ready to sweep the materials away.
But wait until he clears the Absolute Ice Jade around the crack.
A faintly visible red color appeared in front of me in the darkness.
This touch of red came from the depths of the Absolute Ice Jade, and it was because of Lindsay's excellent eyesight that a trace of afterimage was seen from the gap.
“……”
Lindsay subconsciously pulled open the map, and there was a hole below him.
He looked at the introduction of the Peerless Ice Jade in his hand again-[often used as a safe material]
"So I've been digging into the safe for a long time?"
Lindsay had a question mark.
He was already quite satisfied with being able to harvest rare materials, but who knew that there would be something else below!
There was no reason to be polite at this time, and the movements in Lindsay's hands continued to speed up.
Click-click-click!
The crack was gradually widened, and Lindsay could faintly see what was going on below.
In this safe made of Peerless Ice Jade, there seemed to be a vague figure lying there!
“……”
Lindsay was almost on her stomach.
He also planted a circle of torches around him to raise the light.
Under the converging gaze, it turned out that he was really lying there alone, looking like a girl!
"My treasure has become Sleeping Beauty!"
The first thing that came to Lindsay's mind was her own complaint when she awakened the glacial element.
"Is this a prophecy?"
The treasure turned out to be a person!
Lindsay scratched her hair with a troubled expression:
"No, maybe it's something else in the shape of a human?"
He was still a little incredulous.
The true treasure that the black-scaled lizard dragon hid beneath its habitat turned out to be a living person.
Who would believe this kind of thing?
And what does this man eat and drink when he lies here, so that he will not be suffocated to death in the ground?
The truth can only be found in practice.
Lindsay continued to move with doubts, preparing to dig up the Peerless Ice Jade and personally go to the other party to confirm.
Click-click-bang!
Lindsay continued to do it, but this time things changed abruptly.
Along with the expansion of the crack, when the crack was expanded again, the ground suddenly trembled!
"If I smash a rock, how can I smash an earthquake?!"
Lindsay's expression was startled, and his hands stopped, he was sure that this was not the result of digging ore himself.
Sure enough, even when he stopped, the ground was still shaking slightly.
"The drake is angry again?"
"Is this what you hid from the Black Lizard Dragon? So excited! ”
Lindsey cursed and continued to move.
That's just at this time.
As the ground trembled, a new message appeared on the taskbar.
【Earth Fire】
[A volcano buried deep underground, triggered by an earthquake, escaped for a limited time. 】
[Quest reward: A small amount of attribute/skill experience points.] 】
"An underground volcano, about to erupt?"
Lindsay then realized where the constant tremors were coming from.
It's not that the drake beast is angry here, but the earthquake it caused before also caused damage underground, and directly caused an underground volcano to enter an eruption state ahead of schedule!
“……”
At this moment, Lindsay's eyes were focused on the text description on the taskbar.
The reward is better than nothing, and the information means that the task is fairly simple.
Lindsey now just put the dick away, turn around and run.
With his speed, he will definitely be able to escape the danger before the crisis arrives.
But the people who slept inside were absolutely dead!
"Two possibilities."
"This guy is a member of the rebel dragon beast, but for some reason, maybe it has value in itself, so after being caught, he didn't kill it immediately, but kept it here."
"This guy is my enemy, hiding under the lair of the black-scaled lizard dragon for some special purpose."
Lindsey was quick to draw conclusions.
Then a decision is made almost instantaneously.
Life is never a joke! Even if this guy is his enemy, then he has to fish people up, confirm the specific information of the other party, and then kill him.
Lindsey could never have been threatened by the threat in front of her.
Throw the possible rescue objects and unknown truths into the magma that is about to erupt!
Lindsay increased the consumption of essentia, and the movements of his hands were one after another.
The gap in the Absolute Ice Jade continued to expand almost visibly to the naked eye.
At the same time, the tremors on the ground are gradually intensifying, and the muddy swamp ruins are heating up and water vapor is rising.
Some of the cracks that went deep into the ground even began to emit black smoke.
The air was filled with the smell of rotten eggs of sulphur.
Lindsay, who was constantly chopping and chiseling the Absolute Ice Jade, had a clearer perception, and her sense of smell enhanced by the lizard's dragon head sleeve could even smell a metallic smell from her side.
“……”
Lindsay didn't say a word, he reached out and wiped his sweat, replacing the mountain crest with a molten fire crest.
In addition to the obsession of digging out the people below.
Some inexplicable ideas began to emerge one after another.
The magma released during volcanic eruptions typically ranges from 700°C to 1200°C.
If it is basalt magma, the temperature range is a little lower, even up to 700°C.
But if it's andesite and rhyolite magma, it's 1000°C to 1200°C.
Has a Molten Sigil......
No, at 1200°C, Flame Streak can deal with it, and he can even swim in the lava for a minute!
"Lindsey tried to swim in magma!"
Click!
Just as Lindsey was muttering about her own thoughts.
The Absolute Origin Ice Jade below finally dug through, and he immediately jumped in, not forgetting to stuff the other Absolute Origin Ice Jade into the bag.
At this moment, the tremor of the ground almost made it difficult to stand still.
Lindsey didn't have time to look at any details.
He scooped up the sleeping girl, took the clod of dirt from his bag, put it under his feet, and began to rise in place.
Wait until you finally see the ground.
Lindsay didn't want to do anything else, he took out his staff and summoned the snow wolf, and threw the sleeping girl on the wolf's back.
“……”
At this moment, the world fell into a brief silence.
Rumble!
The violent earthquake finally reached its peak at this moment.
There was a loud bang underground, smoke rose everywhere, and the earth cracked.
A giant beast seemed to be roaring, breaking through the earth's crust and burning everything with a scorching heat as red as molten iron.
The majestic power of nature is far greater than the earthquakes caused by dragons and beasts.
The two are not the same!
In the heat and roar, Lindsay's roar and command also sounded in the sudden outbreak of nature's rage:
"Follow me! Run! ”
