Chapter 427: Guessing the hidden dangers correctly
"What you said just now...is you noticed it too?"
"At the bottom of the sea, this thing is not that hard to see."
"Do you think the things underground will explode directly?"
"If I hadn't been worried about this, I wouldn't have reminded you."
Just as waiting for the dust in the underground space to dissipate, Ronald and Helbeth stood on a relatively flat ground and talked.
The speed of speech is slow between questions and answers.
But anyone can hear their nervous mood now.
The problem that should have been solved quickly is now in a very passive situation.
Whether it's Haier Bays or Ronald.
If they want to deal with this strange plant underground, they can definitely complete such a task alone.
This is a plant without self-awareness after all.
After mastering the general action rules, even if a person with a heart takes some effort, he will not be helpless with it.
But the actual problem is that there is a crater hidden under this plant, and it is most likely the energy source on which it depends for survival.
If you rashly pull out this plant...
It would be okay if there was no reaction, but if the underground volcano erupted directly under external stimulation, it would definitely not be a problem that normal people would consider or be willing to face.
So after Ronald and Haierbeth communicated their opinions.
Miss Mermaid, who is more familiar with similar environments, chose to investigate the situation to confirm the specific situation they are facing now.
Keep a certain distance from the strange flowers.
He gently swept a piece of ground with his fingers, and then Helbeth began to draw runes on the ground with his fingers. He didn't see any unnecessary materials she used, and almost transparent water stains appeared where she swept her fingertips.
While doing his own moves, Haierbeth asked Ronald:
"Wuling native, did you just guess from the taste of this thing?"
"The pungent smell of sulfur is only part of it." Ronald nodded and admitted Haierbeth's guess, while replenishing the source of his previous doubts. "When we both came up from below, we were not passing a period of material on the wall. It was thick.
Is it a bright place again?"
"That kind of thing is usually traces left after magma flows through it. At that time, I had some related guesses."
“…”
Hearing Ronald's answer, Haierbes paused slightly with his fingers drawing runes.
"Wuling people, are you actually studying volcanoes in your society?"
Ronald didn't want to answer this question hastily.
The mermaid in front of her could take out a flashlight from her pocket, and what it meant was enough to make him think deeply. At the moment, the other party was interested in research on volcanoes, so he certainly didn't want to give up this opportunity to go deep into the topic.
So after thinking carefully for a few seconds, Ronald replied seriously:
"The existence of a volcano is not only related to the environment we live in, but may even determine the origin of life. Any civilization that looks far away should have the most basic understanding and research on it."
“…”
This time, Haierbes was silent for an unprecedented period of time.
It was not until the runes on the ground were fully portrayed that she stood up and took a serious look at Ronald.
"Since that's the case, then continue to stick to this path."
"Compared to the choice of wizards to study spells, the study of the essence of the laws of things is more suitable for a civilization to move forward."
As the words came to the ground, Miss Mermaid patted the ground with her tail.
A not-so-amazing magic power entered the runes on the ground with the movements, and then the entire runes melted into the ground in an instant and disappeared in front of the two of them.
This kind of exploration spell takes not much time.
Less than ten breaths passed, Haierbes confirmed the situation under the ground, and then explained with a serious look on his face:
"Wuling people, the situation is the same as we thought. This guy occupies the position of the crater and forms a delicate equilibrium below. If it is removed now, the volcano that is ready to erupt will definitely erupt immediately."
With such a result, Ronald's eyes sank significantly.
Driven by a flash of luck in his heart, he continued to ask Haierbeth a question:
“What is the scale of the volcano below?”
Miss Mermaid seemed to misunderstand the tension on Ronald's face, so she replied in an almost comforting tone:
"Don't worry, this is not the kind of super volcano that will affect the entire planet's biosphere after an outbreak. That kind of thing can't be suppressed by just a plant."
First of all, Haierbeth continued to add:
"But even so, the volcano is still a volcano. If it is allowed to erupt normally, the creatures in the surrounding areas of this island will undoubtedly definitely usher in a disaster."
“…”
Very difficult situation.
Ronald himself is confident that he can use his spells to avoid the dangers caused by volcanic eruptions.
But what about the others on the island?
How many of these people can guarantee their safety when facing the natural disaster level of volcanoes?
Ronald was able to protect himself, but he was absolutely unsure of rescuing other companions on the island.
The strange flower in front of me may not have self-awareness and wisdom.
But using its own qualities, it reaches extreme choices that are difficult to deal with.
Destroy it, and the consequences of the volcanic eruption are at your own risk;
If the ferocious typhoon continues to rage, the harm will sooner or later reach a level that people cannot bear.
"Wuling people, do you want to be more cruel and do it directly? With the casting level of a guy like you, it is still okay to escape from a volcano of this level."
Haierbeth spoke again.
She once again misunderstood what Ronald was thinking now and analyzed the matter with a simple idea.
Facing the suggestion that Miss Mermaid does not have malice but is absolutely impossible to adopt.
Ronald showed a bitter smile on his face.
"If possible, I would like to deal with the problem so simply."
"But the reality is that my companions are still on the island above my head, so I can't ignore their escape..."
"Um?"
Suddenly, Ronald raised his eyebrows.
Because at this moment, Claudia's communication appeared in his mind.
I don’t know if it was the result of the damage caused by the shielding of the strange flower itself, or the damage to the underground space, but Ronald heard the sound of emergency contact with Claudia.
"Modest, you and Mr. Conner are coming to the middle of the island."
"There are too many such monsters, and it's really hard to deal with them!"
"Don't wait for us, you can go down the ruins first!"
In the communication, there are the urgent and nervous voices of their companions.
Perhaps compared to Ronald in the underground space...
The people above the island are the most difficult side now.
