Chapter 42 Undersea Volcanoes

"The seabed is a very dangerous world." Lan Na emphasized this way many times along the way: "Don't think that the seabed looks peaceful, just think that this place is safer than on land. In fact, the danger here is no less than on land, it is just hidden under a beautiful appearance."

When he said this last time, Lanna and Lamia were taking five adventure groups to advance to the devil's sea along the bottom of the sea. What appeared in front of the few people was a sea area with smoke and bubbles that were constantly emitting invisible boundaries.

"This is a typical example." Lanna pointed to the sea area in front of her and said, "This is a new undersea volcano, and the range is very large. Here you should have already felt the temperature change. The more you go in, the higher the temperature will be. If you break in blindly, you may be boiled by high-temperature sea water up to four or five hundred degrees in an instant. Don't doubt the water temperature of four or five hundred degrees, don't forget how high the water pressure here is. Four or five hundred degrees is not high. In some specific locations, the water temperature can even melt some metal."

"There is no light inside." Catherine said regretfully: "I can't see the situation inside at all."

"That's nothing to do." Lanna shook her head and said, "The light at the bottom of the sea mainly relies on phospho algae, but in this volcanic area, phospho algae cannot survive, so it loses lighting tools. However, each of you has equipped a back-type lighting equipment. Although it is heavy, it is still fine at the bottom of the sea. And don't worry, the crystals consumed by the equipment will be responsible for the Storm Temple."

"This is really the best news I have ever heard." Catherine immediately smiled, letting her body float flat on the bottom of the sea, and stretched her back to activate the lighting. Immediately, a beam of light shot out from Catherine's back. It stretched forward over Catherine's head, and soon illuminated the conical area of ​​thirty meters. Within a further range, you can also see a rough picture through the vague light. At the end of the line of sight was a column of air composed of steam and powder. The column of air was straight up, breaking through the heavy water pressure and rushing into the dark sea water above. I don't know how long it was in the end.

"That air column is caused by the undersea volcano." Lanna explained: "The high temperature allows sea water to vaporize even under such pressure, and the steam will form such an air column that keeps rising. However, it cannot be seen on the sea surface. It will dissipate after about a few hundred meters rise. This is a wonder that only the bottom of the sea can see. Fortunately, the volcano here has not entered an active state."

"What if it enters an active state?" Vivian recorded in a notebook specially prepared by Doris: "What would it be like? Is there a big difference from now? I know that the active volcanoes on land will be quite spectacular."

"I don't know on land, but the eruption of the undersea volcano must be divided into the degree." Lanna said like a horror story before bed. She lowered her voice and created a tense atmosphere: "Volcano eruption means that the fire-attribute energy contained in the underground is too high, and the earth pressures them too much. It is over the eruption state formed after facing their pressure. If it is just a small eruption, the impact range will only be a few tens,100 square kilometers around, and it has no effect on the sea surface. But if it is a super-large eruption, it will be very spectacular. The magma melted by the fire-attribute energy underground continues to eject from the crater, evaporating the sea water and rising up with steam. The volcanic ash and highly toxic

The steam mixed together and spreads around. The surrounding sea areas of thousands of square kilometers will become dirty, and even the sea tribes cannot breathe within range. At that time, the entire sea area will be panic in severe earthquakes and turbulences. Huge columns of smoke mixed with sea water will continue to rise, breaking through the sea surface and rushing straight to the dense fog layer, and even rushing up to a height of five or six kilometers. The magma on the seabed rushes out of the surface, and then lowers the temperature under the comfort of the surrounding water-attributed elements and restores to rocks. This process continues to repeat. The seabed ground at the crater continues to rise, eventually breaking through the sea surface. A brand new island is formed, and this process may last for several days."

"Wow." Vivian asked with an unspecified amazement, "Is this how the islands come from?"

"Some are not. In the early Quaternary period, when Lord Yara reshaped the continent, some corner residues that could no longer be pieced together. These residues had nowhere to be placed, so Lord Yara put them in the sea and turned them into islands. This is how the prototype of the forest-type islands you landmen call it." These may be just the content of legends for land races, but not so illusory for the sea races, because there are still many witnesses of the drastic changes in the past. The history they tell is better than the history of land races after countless inheritances.

More reliable: "But this kind of island is only a small part, most of which are formed through the eruption of undersea volcanoes from ancient times to the present. Most of the islands formed by these eruptions were bare at the beginning. Then, due to coincidence or other reasons, the seeds of the first tree drifted on the island with the wind to take root and sprout, and they will soon be occupied by the forest and become a territory of forest gods, with the characteristics of land forests. Then, the monsters that are too prosperous on the other islands will appear inexplicably on these new islands under the interference of divine power, and the number will increase."

"Will there be no conflict between the gods of the ocean gods expanding their territory like this?" Lina asked expressionlessly: "With the gods war at the end of the Third Age, the gods will care about these contradictions very much."

"When the island was formed, that area was no longer the territory of the sea god, but became a land without a border." Lan Na shook her head and said, "The land without a border is first come first served, and whoever takes it first belongs to whom. However, for so many years, only the forest gods can do it, and other gods cannot occupy it. Of course, it is useless for them to occupy it."

Lina thought seriously and said, "It's true that there is no use at all. No wonder there has been no idea about the temple for thousands of years. Those who have developed offshore only evacuated the deserted island when they encounter it. There is no forest, water, no creature, and no normal transportation with the outside world. There is no use value."

"Wait, I don't know if I'm wrong." Catherine suddenly grabbed Lanna's hand and pointed to the sea area affected by the volcano in front and said, "I seem to see some small fish swimming inside. Didn't it say that there was a high temperature environment of hundreds of degrees?"

"Oh, you read that right, there are indeed fish that can live there." Lanna glanced casually and said, "Those fish can only survive in high temperatures and never leave that area. Once a certain undersea volcano is extinguished, they will die down."

"Well, if that happens, how do they appear?" Vivian recorded it quickly in his notebook: "It can't have appeared out of thin air."

"Who knows?" Lanna spread her hands and answered helplessly: "No one answers you these questions. In fact, they will always appear in the waters near the new crater for no reason."

"So some people also speculate that there is a seawater layer between the formation and the magma layer. These high-temperature fish migrate through this layer of seawater, but no one can verify it." Panis said on the side: "By the way, the bones of these fish are excellent forging materials, but they are useless at all."

"Why?" When talking about forging materials, Catherine thought of commercial value at the first time and asked: "Since it's so good, why is it useless?"

"Because it's too small." Panis suddenly spread his shield and rushed forward like lightning, rushing into the sea filled with bubbles and smoke. After more than a minute, he swam out in a hurry, landed back on the bottom of the sea and opened his hands. Two fish that had frozen in normal water temperature were lying in their hands: "If they could be half a meter long, with their high temperature resistance, they could create good daggers or casting items, but they were only a few centimeters long and were bone materials, and there was no possibility of smelting, so they could only watch such good materials turn into a pile of waste."

"I've said it before." Catherine glared at Pannis and said angrily: "When doing such a scary thing, can you think about our mood first? Do you know that you won't have any trouble, but do you know that even if you won't have trouble, others will worry?"

"I was wrong, please forgive me." Panis blinked innocently, raised his hands to admit his mistake: "Please forgive me for being reckless. I will never do it again in the future. I will always keep the teachings of Lord Catherine in my heart, take your will as your will, and your eyes point to it is the direction I am moving forward."

"Pennis, you are really amazing." Lina habitually pushed her glasses that did not exist, and a mocking smile that often appeared on her face with a cold expression appeared recently: "The speed of admitting mistakes is getting faster and faster, and when admitting mistakes, you can say something casually. Sometimes I have to doubt the sincerity in your words like this."

"My sincerity is heavier than the water pressure here." Panis said with a serious look on his face: "Linna, you can't insult my sincere character like this."

"Sincere character?" Vivian closed the notebook hard, looked at Panis with his eyes hanging, and also said a word blankly: "Ha!"

"Poor Mr. Pannis." Freya said pity: "The girls' clear hearts are as soft and fragile as tulle, and they cannot be rude. But you cruelly hurt the girls' hearts and trampled the girls' delicate emotions under your feet. Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo w

"Hey, hey, you can't do this." Panis looked at the girls with grief: "I'm really innocent."

"Hmph, innocent?" Catherine sneered: "I will settle the score with you when the mission is over."
