The girl's expression became nervous, "That's it..."
"Don't be anxious, just speak slowly."
Su Ji felt a little dumbfounded.
Could it be that his appearance just now was so fierce that it really reminded them of the days when they were ruled by the head teacher?
"It's something I don't recognize at all, and I can't name it..."
The girl whispered, a hint of fear gradually revealed in her voice, "I feel..."
"I feel like it's not the creature I've seen at all..."
Ah, never seen it?
That's right……
Su Ji wanted to tell her just that, but she was afraid that this little girl's fragile and young mind would suddenly break through.
Because the lord of this place is a big [orc] monster...
[Orcs] is not a strange place, nor is it an important point.
After all, even the cute bunny-eared girl is still a member of the [Orcs].
But the problem is——
Have you ever seen a beast that can live in a lava cave?
You can also immerse yourself under the surface of magma like a hot spring, which is simply extraordinary.
If you have ever seen such a creature before, then it would be terrifying...
Therefore, it is not surprising that you can see any strange and weird creatures that you can't imagine in this place.
These are extremely normal phenomena...
The reason why this girl feels scared is simply because she didn’t have a deep understanding of [battlefield games] before...
However, her words did bring a lot of information to Su Ji.
That is……
Except for this big guy swimming in the magma underground, who looks most suspicious of a lord.
In this [lava volcano], there seem to be [players] of other races.
"You guys should be quiet for a moment and wait quietly as before."
"I'm going to explore the way."
After explaining to these silly children, Su Ji and Gu Li walked towards the edge of the stone pillar.
The top of this huge stone pillar is not completely flat, but has an undulating terrain like a desert.
Therefore, after taking a detour, Su Ji and Gu Lifang came to a relatively high place.
The view from this place is very broad, and you can easily see the entire lava cave.
Su Ji's purpose of coming here was naturally to find a perfect corner to search for the creatures hidden in the dark that caught the attention of the girl just now.
At this moment, the prompt text scrolled out again.
…
【hehe.】
[You don’t really think that you can wait for them just by waiting here, do you? 】
[They are just weak, but not brainless.]
[For these beasts with an extremely sensitive sense of smell.]
[Your approach will only bring a strong human scent...]
…
Su Ji thought for a moment and immediately called up his editing tools.
First, I used [backspace] to delete the word [人] in the sentence.
Then, select [Cut].
Cut out the word "Beast" and paste it into the sentence.
What we finally got was——
[Your approach will only bring a strong scent of beasts...]
Ding!
Accompanied by a pleasant beep.
Again.
Su Ji saw the golden light that suddenly lit up above the text.
The power of words has once again produced an effect.
The moment when a new segment is just generated.
Su Ji noticed it, and suddenly there was a strange sound coming from all around.
——It came from the lava wall, like the sound produced when something shakes down.
"Found it." Su Ji said.
"Eh?" Gu Li blinked her beautiful eyes, "Where is it?"
Gu Li's eyes are slightly myopic, but due to a woman's beauty-loving nature, she has never been in the habit of wearing glasses.
The lava cave was surrounded by fiery red and complicated patterns, which made her eyes feel dizzy.
Moreover, these beasts were indeed well hidden. Gu Li tried using [Detection Guard] just now but could not find any trace of them.
However, this does not exclude the possibility that the [Detection Guard] thing will be affected by the turbulent flow of spiritual energy from the [Relic] to a certain extent, causing it to malfunction.
all in all.
Gu Li actually didn't have much hope in her heart as to whether she could find her target.
Her heart is open to chance, it's good if she can find it, and it doesn't matter if she can't find it.
Su Ji was also surprised by Gu Li's extremely optimistic attitude.
"Shh."
Su Ji made a silent gesture towards Gu Li.
Then raise your hand.
He stretched out a finger and pointed in a certain direction.
Gu Li looked along Su Ji's fingertips.
Then he saw it.
Everywhere on the lava wall.
A red and white color block on it seemed to be squirming.
It's like when playing games, a certain piece of pigment in the scene suddenly wears out the mold.
"?"
Su Ji was very surprised.
Only after he took a closer look did he realize it.
Those moving color blocks seem to be some kind of living creatures with soft and flexible bodies.
It's just that the color of their bodies has blended into the rock wall, so it looks like the pixel blocks have penetrated the mold.
Finally, Su Ji saw it.
Those things that are clinging to the wall and constantly squirming are a large group of slimes!
Probably because they have lived in lava caves for too long, the colors and patterns on their bodies have grown into the same natural protective colors as this place.
Just like the camouflage uniforms worn by soldiers fighting in the field.
And this quantity does not seem to be very small.
Immediately afterwards.
Su Ji saw again, a small group of slimes starting to jump around on the other side of the magma pool.
These jelly-like creatures began to transform into various forms of creatures as they bounced into the air.
Then before free-falling back to the ground, it turned back into a puddle of emotionless gelatinous creatures.
Su Ji felt that if he saw it correctly, he seemed to have noticed for a moment that one of the slimes seemed to have turned into the shape of a smiling face...
I don't know if it's a friendly smile or a mocking smile.
Anyway, overall, there doesn't seem to be much hostility.
Creatures like slime seem to be the lowest type of players among the [monster tribe].
During training, Su Ji had heard that players from the [Monster Clan] seemed to get along with players from the [Orc Clan] more friendly.
But they have never been too cold towards [human beings].
The specific reason has never been clear to anyone. It is probably because slimes, like goblins, always cause merciless beatings from humans...
After all, the slimes that are killed by people every day in various games and movies can circle the earth several times.
And the "animal" aura exuding from his body makes the other party feel that he should be an ally.
【Don’t be fooled by these slimy disgusting creatures.】
[They do look quite harmless during the day.]
[However, as soon as the night falls, they will reveal their true nature as monsters...]
Um?
What the hell?
Su Ji felt a little puzzled.
Is there still night and day in this damn place?
Logically speaking, sunlight shouldn't be able to penetrate a cave like this underground at all, right?
Seeing this, Su Ji subconsciously raised her head.
Only then did I discover that on the top of the cave, there were many fiery red stones that were emitting light all around.
In sight, the system prompt text popped up.
[Item: Flame Stone]
[Quality: Ordinary]
[Type: Material]
[Details: An elemental stone containing the element of fire.]
…
"I see……"
Most of the light source in the entire lava cave comes from these glowing flame stones.
And within the remains of this [lava volcano].
The brightness of the flame stone can reflect the time period of the real world to a certain extent.
This is the only way they can roughly judge the time.
"let's go."
"It's not long to stay here."
Su Ji said to Gu Li.
Gu Li nodded and left here with Su Ji.
The terrain of this place is relatively high, so it is naturally more conspicuous and can be easily discovered.
Returning to the crowd again, this time Su Ji could be seen, so everyone's face showed a hint of fatigue.
As the magma continuously dissipates heat, the temperature inside the entire [ruin] cave is relatively high.
In this environment, physical energy is naturally consumed faster than before.
For humans, the most important crisis faced in this situation is water shortage.
After all, water consumption is really fast in this place.
Everyone is sweating almost all the time.
In the equipment box provided by Weaver Girl, drinking water is not the most important thing.
Soon, everyone carrying water had almost drank it.
"teacher……"
"There is no water, what should I do..."
"..."
Su Ji heard a man sitting relatively close to her whisper to him.
Su Ji glanced at him and found that he was actually an eight-foot tall man.
He was looking at me with an aggrieved expression, looking pitiful, weak and helpless.
"..." The corners of her mouth twitched slightly. Su Ji was really afraid that this tough guy would suddenly start to scream, and then use his small pink fists to hit his more abstract chest muscles crazily.
However, the words of this tough guy really woke Su Ji up on the spot.
Now they really need to think about how to solve the water problem.
In the extreme state, people can starve for about ten days, but they can't do it without drinking water.
If a person loses water, he or she is at risk of death within a short period of time.
"What should I do? Do you still have enough water in your inventory?"
Gu Li asked in a low voice beside Su Ji, "I didn't bring much water. I almost finished it myself."
Su Ji didn't answer her, she could only smile and shake her head.
I have to think of something to do...
Without outside support and rescue, they can only rely on their own strength to find water sources.
but……
This damn place is a lava cave!
water?
Where can I find water?
Let alone water, he didn't even know where to find liquid things.
In the entire [lava volcano] ruins, the only thing that can truly be called liquid is probably the only magma with a temperature of more than a thousand degrees...
Do you think I’m perfunctory when I ask you to “drink more hot water”?
Then you are really thinking too much, I haven't even asked you to drink more lava...
From this point of view, that big guy that has been swimming around under the magma is really not that hard...
This guy can really drink lava.
It would be great if one day we could really capture this kind of monster into the real world. Maybe by studying its physiological structure, humans would one day invent a new type of high-temperature resistant fireproof material.
Maybe it will be able to replace [Boruto] or [Zhong Xuegao] in the future and become a new generation of top fire protection equipment... Well, no.
After thinking for a while, Su Ji took out his equipment box and began to rummage inside.
Then I found an automatic rifle, body armor, compass, military backpack, miniature hand pick, rock climbing rope...
There are a lot of bells and whistles, but there are absolutely no useless equipment or props in this [Lava Volcano].
"..." Facing the pile of things on the ground, Su Ji was speechless again.
Gan!
So among all the messy things, there are few that can be used to find water sources!
Su Ji scratched his head, feeling a little helpless.
Looking at the current situation.
The only method that can be considered is probably to use his writing system, which is often unreliable.
After sitting down, Su Ji closed her eyes and began to think hard.
After thinking about it for ten minutes.
Still at a loss...
Su Ji was a little irritated. She opened her eyes and took another look at the props scattered on the floor.
Then his gaze.
At this moment, he suddenly locked on something among them.
--An umbrella.
A prop that also seems to be of little use.
After all, this is a cave that goes deep into the ground. How could rainwater penetrate into this place?
And if they can really infiltrate here, why would they still worry about it?
When Su Ji thought of this, the umbrella became more and more unpleasant to her eyes.
There was even an idea in my mind of throwing it directly into the magma to vent its anger.
The system prompt text also scrolled out at this time.
【Yes, you read that right.】
[An umbrella with strong material and conscientious workmanship.]
【You can use it to block heavy rain.】
[Of course, if there is hail one day, I suggest you not to have too much hope for it. 】
"It seems to be a bit confusing..."
Su Ji had a flash of inspiration and immediately took out her text rewriting tool.
