Riding on the lava horse, Gu Zheng walked forward again with the lava skeleton.
The journey was not peaceful. Gu Zheng and the others encountered several waves of monsters. However, these monsters were relatively ordinary and did not pose a threat to them. Most of them did not even use Gu Zheng's hands. They were just lava skeletons and lava.
They can level it with war horses.
However, after going on the road this time, Gu Zheng felt as if he had entered a new area. The lava monsters he encountered were all the kind he had never seen before. Monsters like lava toads had never appeared again.
, so much so that Gu Zheng wanted to die completely and harvest the explosive inner elixir again.
"Goooooo!"
The lava lakes on both sides of the passage bubbled again, the lava horses stopped immediately, and the lava skeletons immediately got into a fighting formation.
Although the monster has not yet appeared, Gu Zheng can tell from the size and density of the bubbles that the monster that will appear this time should be the Lava Dragon Fish.
I have seen the Lava Dragon Fish Gu Zheng twice in this period of time. This kind of monster has a huge size, but its strength is not commensurate with its size. Their strength is so weak that a few lava skeletons can defeat it with their axes.
.
Two lava arowanas have appeared. They are really huge in size. Each one has two long shapes. And the name of this so-called arowana does not mean that they just have beards like dragons.
, but their bodies are like dragons. Except for the lack of dragon claws, they are really similar to the dragon's body, and the head is like a fish head with sharp teeth.
Although they have sharp teeth, Lava Arowana does not rely on their teeth to hurt the enemy. Their attack method is to spit out lava. After being attacked by the axe of the Lava Skeleton, the lava like a fountain erupts from their mouths and also towards the Lava Skeleton.
They watered it.
The lava skeletons' resistance to magma was not good before, but after being injured and treated by the lava frogs, their resistance to magma was much better than that of Gu Zheng's body. Therefore, the lava ejected by the lava arowana and
You can't cause much damage to them, because the lava arowana's own defense is very weak, and the lava skeletons can often get rid of them by throwing their axes a few times.
"Um?"
Looking at one of the lava arowanas that had been chopped off by the lava skull axe and fell into the magma lake, Gu Zheng's heart moved and he had a question.
Although the current Lava Arowana is the third wave of Lava Arowana that Gu Zheng has seen, Gu Zheng has not taken action against the Lava Arowana because they are monsters that Lava Skeletons can easily deal with, so Gu Zheng has not taken any action.
of necessity.
However, just now, Gu Zheng suddenly had a question. Is it because the lava arowana's defense is not good enough, or is the lava skull's ax too good at restraining the lava arowana?
In order to answer the questions in his mind, Gu Zheng slashed at the remaining lava arowana with his sword. Gu Zheng used his full strength to slash out a sword energy from a distance.
According to Gu Zheng's understanding, if the Lava Dragon Fish is really weak in defense, then his sword is enough to cut the Lava Dragon Fish in half! After all, his sword is a full-strength sword, and it is more powerful than the Lava Skeletons throwing it.
Many axes are powerful.
"Qiang!"
A scene that made Gu Zheng's heart move happened. After he landed his sword with all his strength on the Lava Dragon Fish, it only made a sound of gold and iron. He was unable to cause any effective damage to the Lava Dragon Fish.
"You can't even use sword energy? Do you want me to try the technique I just learned?"
Gu Zheng was dissatisfied, and the spell he had just learned was the one he had learned through the mysterious realm given by the Lava Toad King.
However, the lava skeletons were already very fast at dealing with the lava arowana, and they had already killed the lava arowana before Gu Zheng could use new techniques to deal with the lava arowana.
After the lava arowana died, its body fell into the magma lake. A scene that Gu Zheng did not expect appeared. The lava arowana body that had just fallen into the magma lake seemed to have been scalded to the side, and suddenly fell out of the magma lake.
The bullet jumped up.
The body of the Lava Dragon Fish that jumped into the air did not fall, and then there was another strange sound. The body of the first Lava Dragon Fish that was killed by the Lava Skeletons also bounced out of the magma lake. Two Lava Dragon Fish
The bodies of the dragon fish flew together like two magnets.
Although he didn't know what would happen if the bodies of two lava dragon fish collided, Gu Zheng was sure that this would not be a good thing, so he slashed out a sword energy again. He wanted to see how he had dealt with the lava before.
Will the sword energy that does not work on the Arowana fish work on the corpse of the Lava Arowana fish?
Under normal circumstances, no matter how powerful the monster's physical body is, once it dies, without the demonic power in its physical body, its strength will drop many times.
There was no more sound like gold and iron clashing. Gu Zheng's sword directly cut the broken body of the Lava Dragon Fish into two pieces, but even so, it still could not stop the collision of the Lava Dragon Fish corpse.
It just delayed the collision a little bit.
Since there is nothing to stop it, the ancient struggle can only wait and see what happens, and the collision will be completed in an instant.
With a roar, the bodies of the Lava Arowana collided, and a thick fog was generated following the collision, making it unclear what changes had taken place in the body of the Lava Arowana after the collision.
The fog began to spread, so that the entire magma lake looked hazy. Although in the air where the lava dragon fish body was, the fog was still thick and made it difficult to see clearly, but Gu Zheng could tell that there seemed to be something there.
The giant thing is squirming.
"Um?"
Gu Zheng's heart moved. The originally thin mist changed, and shadows emerged from it. Most of these shadows seemed to be humanoid, and they became clearer as time went by.
The phantoms that emerged from the mist were not attacking Gu Zheng and the others, but were playing out their own stories. The background of the story seemed to be a battlefield, with many soldiers fighting together.
Gu Zheng didn't know why this scene appeared, but the restlessness from the lava skeletons made him feel that this matter was not simple, because the lava skeletons were also watching the story unfolding in the phantom, and among the soldiers in the phantom, there were
The number of soldiers on one side is thirty-six, and the weapons used by these thirty-six soldiers are either swords or axes, and the number of swordsmen and axemen is no different from that of the lava skeletons.
Although Gu Zheng was 100% sure that the story in the sky was related to the lava skeleton, he didn't know what to do next. Just when the lava skeletons became more and more anxious, the picture in the sky stopped, and the corpse of the lava arowana was condensed.
The mist on the body also disappeared instantly, which also allowed Gu Zheng to see what kind of monster the lava dragon fish's body had turned into.
The original lava arowana now looks more like a dragon, especially the head, but its body has changed because it has an extra pair of shells, which flap like wings on its body.
Gu Zheng doesn’t know what to call this thing, so let’s call it ‘Lava Mirage’.
As soon as the lava mirage appeared, the restless lava skeletons all fell to the ground as if they had lost their souls, and then the lava mirage plunged into the magma lake.
"Master, what's going on?"
The lava war horse inquired about Guzheng through the voice of his mind.
Gu Zheng could not answer the question about the lava war horse for the time being. This was the first time he encountered such a thing. The lava skeleton suddenly fell to the ground as if it had lost its soul. This was nothing to him. After all, there was a lava mirage in the sky.
In his opinion, the lava mirage will either talk to him, or after killing the lava mirage, the lava skeleton should be able to come back to life. Who knows that all this is caused by the lava mirage!
However, the lava mirage jumped directly into the magma lake, which left Gu Zheng a little confused. This was the first time he encountered such a monster that fled without a fight.
Gu Zheng checked the situation of the lava skeleton, and he had no idea how to wake it up.
"Do you want me to enter the magma lake and kill the lava mirage dragon?"
Gu Zheng murmured in his heart that he did not dare to go deep into the magma lake before, but after having the ashes of the lava monster, he felt that it was not that he did not dare to go deep into the magma lake, but God knew how deep the magma lake was, and he did not
It is clear whether the armor transformed from the ashes of the lava monster alone can stabilize the magma lake where the temperature gets higher as the depth gets higher.
"You wait patiently here, I'll go take a look in the magma lake!"
After thinking about it again and again, Gu Zheng finally made a decision. The Lava Skull was his strength. He couldn't just leave the Lava Skeleton alone. Although the Lava Skeleton had an accident not long ago, it happened again. It seemed to be a problem.
There seems to be quite a lot, but Gu Zheng always believes that the more such tests, the stronger the lava skeleton will be! Moreover, the lava war horse and the lava skeleton are the followers he obtained in the test of the cross passage, and the ones from the cross passage
It can be seen from the difficulty of the test that the lava skeleton is a more powerful existence than the lava war horse, and the more powerful the existence, the greater the potential. No matter how you consider it, it is worth taking the risk to save it.
"Master, it's going to be dangerous down there!" the lava horse said.
"Oh? Why do you say that?"
Gu Zheng's heart moved. He felt that what the lava war horse said was not simple.
"I don't know either, but I suddenly have a feeling that I seem to have appeared in the story that was played out by the mist shadow before! And I may also know some of the dangers in this magma lake."
When the lava war horse said this, Gu Zheng's heart moved. The story that the fog phantom played out before was a story on the battlefield, and horses naturally appeared in it. However, Gu Zheng had not thought about the lava war horse before, because he
We know that the Lava War Horse is the mount of the Fire Demon King, and the Fire Demon King has a strange shape. Even if it is a phantom staged story, if it appears in the story riding the Lava War Horse, Gu Zheng will definitely recognize the Lava War Horse even if he cannot recognize it.
The King of Fire Demon can be recognized. Although the Lava War Horse did not appear in the story played by the mist shadow, the story is definitely not a complete story, or maybe in the complete story, the Lava War Horse once watched the battle.
Originally, Gu Zheng thought that there might not be any guidance or hints on this matter, but now that the lava war horse said such words, it made him think that maybe that was not the case.
"Then can you remember more things?" Gu Zheng asked.
"I don't know, maybe give me more time and I can remember it!" the lava horse said.
"Okay, then I won't go to the magma lake first. Think about it carefully!"
Having said that, Gu Zheng feels that things are really going to become clearer. Lava War Horse will have an impression of the story played by the mist shadow, and he also said that maybe he can remember it with more time, so Gu Zheng feels that it
You must be able to remember it! Because this is probably a setting of the owner of the original immortal-level space fairy weapon. If he rushes into the magma lake at the beginning, he may miss the memory recovery from the lava war horse. After all, the lava war horse
As I said, it was something I just remembered and felt just now.
How long it will take for the lava war horse to complete its memory recovery is something Gu Zheng doesn't know, but Gu Zheng is not panicked about this, because at least for now, the lava skeletons are just like fainting, and Gu Zheng can feel them
Strong life energy, but just can't wake them up.
Time passed as the lava war horse struggled to recall, one hour, two hours, until Gu Zheng couldn't help but open his eyes, because he noticed that the lava skeleton's energy began to fluctuate, and the appearance of such fluctuations indicated that,
If the lava skeletons do not wake up within an hour, their life energy will be extremely weakened, until there is no life energy and they will completely turn into a pile of skeletons.
"Within an hour, if you can wake up the lava skeletons, their strength will remain the same. However, if it takes more than an hour, even if you can wake them up, their strength will be reduced due to the accelerated weakening of the life force.
will be affected by this, which means that the longer it takes, the more their strength will decline!"
Gu Zheng was really anxious, but he couldn't urge the lava war horse, because through the induction of the master relationship, he could sense the lava war horse's anxious mood at the moment, so he understood that the lava war horse was also trying its best at this time. However, for Gu
In terms of competition, the best time to rescue the Lava Skeleton is only one hour, and how much trouble is waiting for him in the process is something he doesn't know. Whether he should wait for the Lava War Horse any longer, he thinks this is the right thing to do.
It’s something to think about carefully again.
Gu Zheng is really undecided. He doesn't know how long it will take to wait for the Lava War Horse's memory to be restored, but if the Lava War Horse can restore its memory quickly, he may have a very clear guide. If the Lava War Horse's memory cannot be restored,
, Gu Zheng can now enter the magma lake to search, but with this kind of dark search, God knows how long it will take to find the lava mirage dragon, and what kind of trouble there will be in the future is also unknown.
"asshole!"
Gu Zheng cursed in his heart. He finally chose to wait. He decided to place his bet on the lava war horse. He hoped that the lava war horse would not let him down.
"Master, I thought of it!"
Just when the best time to rescue the lava skeleton was halfway over, the lava war horse suddenly called Gu Zheng, which made Gu Zheng stand up with a 'crash'.
"explain!"
Gu Zheng was a little excited. Although the best time to rescue the Lava Skeleton was only half an hour, if the Lava Horse could give him clear guidance, he could do a lot in half an hour.
Just as Gu Zheng thought, in the recovered memory of the lava war horse, it had indeed watched the battle staged by the mist shadow. At that time, it was indeed the mount of the Fire Demon King. But what Gu Zheng did not expect was that
, the battle staged by the mist phantom was a fight between the Fire Demon King and the Lava Mirage, and the Lava Skeleton was actually a subordinate of the Lava Mirage! Only the Lava Skeleton died in that battle, and even
Even the Lava Mirage was not spared. As the old enemy of the Fire Demon King, it was naturally killed by the Fire Demon King.
The memory restored by the Lava War Horse is very small, but this little memory is already very useful in the ancient struggle.
The lava skeletons were already a little restless before they fainted. Gu Zheng did not understand their restlessness at the time, but now it seems that they have recovered some memories, and at least they can be said to be familiar with the battle staged by the mist shadow.
Later, the mist surrounding the lava mirage suddenly disappeared, and the lava skeletons fell collectively. From this point, it can be seen that the lava mirage, the master of the lava skeletons, is still very capable of dealing with the lava skeletons. Moreover, it has not followed
In the case of Gu Zheng's method, he jumped directly into the magma lake. This was obviously to lure Gu Zheng down. And when Gu Zheng didn't know about these past events, he was not sure whether the lava mirage dragon was going to lure him down.
, once this is determined, as long as he enters the magma lake, he should soon see the lava mirage without wasting any time in searching.
The Lava Mirage Dragon and the Fire Demon King are old enemies. Under normal circumstances, the enemy of the enemy is a friend, but Gu Zheng did not dare to be optimistic, so he asked the Lava War Horse again: "You said before that it would be dangerous down there, but this is...
What do you mean? Have you thought more about it?"
"No, but I still think it will be dangerous down there." Lava War Horse said.
"Then does this danger come from the lava mirage, or something else?" Gu Zheng asked again.
"No."
The lava war horse was helpless: "Master, why don't you give me some time so I can think about it again?"
"You think about it slowly first! But I don't have time to wait anymore. I have to go downstairs."
There really wasn't much time left. Even if he knew that the Lava Mirage was deliberately leading him down, Gu Zheng didn't have much time to waste.
The ashes of the lava monster transformed Gu Zheng into armor that could be lower than the temperature of the magma, and Gu Zheng jumped directly into the magma lake.
This was the first time that Gu Zheng had let lava submerge his body in the real sense. Although he had jumped into lava twice, the first time he just wanted to cross the river and swam across it, and the second time he had to swim across the river.
In the mysterious realm, he was said to have fallen into a river of magma, but the river of magma was not a real river of magma. Not only was his vision unaffected, but it also made him feel quite comfortable.
Gu Zheng originally thought that entering the magma lake would not be easy this time. His previous guesses about the magma lake were not optimistic. He even thought about whether his ashes armor could withstand the depths of the magma lake.
High temperature. However, when he actually entered the magma lake, he realized that everything was different from what he thought. His jump on the shore was as if he had not jumped into the magma lake, but into a mysterious realm.
river of lava!
It was still an unaffected line of sight, there was still no resistance, and it was still a warm feeling, but Gu Zheng was convinced that this was not some mysterious realm, this was the magma lake, so the only thing that could explain the abnormality was his ashes armor.
.
"Not bad, the ashes armor is so useful!"
Gu Zheng was thankful that he had collected quite a lot of the ashes of the lava monster, and the inventory was enough for him to transform into many ashes armors.
Before Gu Zheng could swim too far, he saw the huge figure of the lava mirage. The lava mirage seemed to be waiting for him. It originally stayed in the magma lake without moving. When it saw Gu Zheng swimming over, it immediately used a kind of
It allows Gu Zheng to swim downstream at a speed that can keep up.
During this trip, Gu Zheng dived very deep. He originally thought that the light in the depths of the magma lake would be darker, but he never thought that not only was it not dark, but it was actually more dazzling than the soft red light in the shallows of the magma lake.
The depths of the magma lake are not dark. This is because there is a huge barrier there. The barrier encloses a large area like a transparent egg shell. With its own light source, it makes the light in the depths of the magma lake slightly dazzling.
.
"battlefield!"
Seeing the piece of land enclosed by the barrier, Gu Zheng's heart moved. The enclosed piece of land was indeed a battlefield. There were many humanoid skeletons and horse skeletons lying in it, and there were also many weapons and other things scattered around.
The lava mirage stopped just above the barrier, and Gu Zheng approached the lava mirage.
"What do you want to do by bringing me here?" Gu Zheng asked the lava mirage dragon.
The lava mirage dragon didn't speak or attack, it just waited and looked at Gu Zheng with its big eyes.
"If you have anything to say, just say it quickly. If you don't have anything to say, I'll go back!"
Gu Zheng was about to leave when the voice of the Lava Mirage sounded behind him: "You know I can speak?"
This was the first time that Lava Mirage Dragon talked to Gu Zheng, but of course Gu Zheng had some guesses as to whether this big guy could talk.
If Gu Zheng still can't think of the story played out by the mist shadow, the fainting lava skeleton and the lava mirage jumping into the magma lake, then this may be another test, then his previous experiences can also be considered.
It was all in vain. Since it was a test and the Lava Mirage was so special, there was no reason why the Beast Skin Giant, Lava Frog, Lava Toad King and the like that we had encountered before could all speak, but it couldn't.
As for Gu Zheng driving him away, he didn't want to waste time. He also wanted to see if the Lava Mirage Dragon wanted anything from him. After all, it was the Lava Mirage Dragon that led him to this place. If he wanted to leave, Lava Mirage
Even if Mirage doesn't speak, there should be a way for him to understand his intentions.
"Stop talking so much that is irrelevant. If you can speak, speak as quickly as possible. I'm still waiting to save your former subordinates!"
Although he said that, Gu Zheng also wanted to hear what the Lava Mirage would say, especially about the Lava Skeletons. After all, this guy was the former master or boss of the Lava Skeletons. It could make the Lava Skeletons
In this current situation, Gu Zheng has to learn more about it.
"Former subordinate."
The lava mirage dragon murmured, its voice distant and lamenting.
"It is true that they were once my subordinates, but now they are your subordinates. If you want to make them wake up, you can only rely on you." Lava Mirage Dragon said.
"Tell me, what do you want me to do?" Gu Zheng sneered.
"Don't say it so harshly, it seems that I deliberately made them like this. The fundamental reason why they are like this is not me, but you!" Lava Mirage Dragon said.
