Compared with the underground world of dark caves, the volcanic caves here are more dangerous and terrifying.
The lava channels here are cracks and lava flow pipes that opened up in the solid mountain after violent geological activities. There are great uncertainties in them.
Maybe when you are walking in a red passage, you will be burned to ashes by a burst of flaming air that suddenly blows out from the gap in the side wall. Or maybe you take a wrong step and fall into a bottomless pit.
Rift valley, falling into some ecstasy and bone-corroding lava fire pool.
Although the volcano has gradually entered a quiescent period, violent geological activities still exist in some places. If the rumbling ground subsidence occurs around you, you are likely to be squeezed by a suddenly closed cave or dislocated rock formations.
Form meatloaf into meat sauce.
Therefore, when walking here, you need to pay more attention to the stability of the rock formations around you.
Absolute safety does not exist, and every apprentice must be careful to avoid being involved in sudden geological changes.
Danger not only exists in volcanic geological changes, but more dangers come from the alien creatures living in this area. Fire spirits, lava dogs, lava monsters, salamanders, flame imps, flame guards... are just flame creatures with names.
There are only dozens of them, and the rest of the unknown alien creatures are even more difficult to count.
These flame creatures that live and feed on fire regard this volcano as their home and have built a unique food chain in this molten world. At the top of the food chain are naturally the terrifying molten giants. They are like
They are a group of flame giants with extremely high intelligence, possessing terrifying elemental powers that are no weaker than human wizards.
It's a pity that their daily life depends too much on the environment. If they leave the volcanic world, their power will continue to decline. Therefore, all the molten giants live in the deepest part of the underground volcano, and are difficult to see from the outside world. It can be said that as a wizard's apprentice,
The ability is not enough to enter the deep areas of the volcanic world, so it is impossible to have any interaction with them.
In the volcanic world, the bottom of the food chain probably belongs to those nasty flame imps. They look similar to a goblin, except that their skin turns red. They also have no flesh and blood, but a ball of original flame and some
The product of the combination of broken consciousnesses.
They chirp and shuttle through the lava channels, looking for areas with dense fire elements. They will also spontaneously attack any outsiders who enter the area, and their attack method is extremely simple flame arrows. Once they find that they cannot defeat the opponent,
They will jump into a pool of lava fire or hot flames at will, and then run away to other places in an instant.
Once a treasure hunter lets go of a flaming imp, his surroundings will be swamped by swarms of flaming imps within a few seconds.
But these flaming imps are incredibly poor. After all your efforts to eliminate them, you can only harvest a pile of volcanic ashes, and no other loot is possible. In this regard, the price-performance ratio of the flaming imps is far inferior to that of the fire spirits.
Although the fire spirits are also at the bottom of the volcanic world's food chain, if you eliminate them, you can still get some broken elemental cores, which is much better than the flaming imps who have nothing.
The Flame Imp possesses flame arrows and flame teleportation. If placed in the outside world, it is also a difficult elemental creature. But in this volcanic world with extremely strong fire resistance, their weird abilities are basically ineffective against other flame creatures.
This is the fundamental reason why they are at the bottom of the food chain!
Greem did not choose to go with others, but instead drilled into a lava channel on his own, and quickly walked through it all the way down. There were never straight roads or regular-shaped passages here. Everything was arranged according to the terrain.
It is spiraling and has many forks.
The volcanic world is like a super huge beehive, with rugged roads and connected passages and caves one after another. Walking in it, if there is no way to identify the path, it is easy to get trapped in the maze until you run out of food and water and die of heat.
.
But Greem certainly didn't have this problem. Even as he went deeper and deeper into the volcanic world, all his flesh and blood became active and restless, and he was excited about the richness of fire element particles here. Even if there is no elemental protection here,
, the misty red light lingering around him cannot harm him, but can bring him considerable benefits.
However, for the sake of appearance, he still had to hold up a high-temperature force field to prevent his clothes from being ignited by the high temperature here. After all, he is a human being, but he does not have the habit of running around like a flame creature!
There was no map, and no need for a map. Greem didn't hesitate at all before the hundred or so forks in the road, and strode forward all the way, heading straight into the depths of the earth. And what guided his direction was the concentration of fire element particles in the air! He
He didn't come here to hunt for treasures, but to "take a bath", so he would go wherever the fire element particles were denser.
The rugged and winding road might deceive him, but the fire element particles floating in the passage would not deceive him, so he arrived in front of a small lava fire pool with almost no deviation.
This is not the depth of the volcanic world, but a natural depression. Therefore, when most of the molten magma retreated back to the ground, a small part of the lava was retained here, forming a small lava fire pool.
.
At this moment, a group of flaming imps and a lava dog are gathering here, floating in the lava fire pool, happily watering their bodies with hot magma.
Among these monsters, the lava dog obviously has a higher status, and he occupies nearly half of the space. The rest of the flaming imps can only squeeze in the other half, and never dare to get even half a step closer to the lava dog.
Seeing the human suddenly emerging from a passage, the lava dog, which has a stronger sense of territoriality, was the first to jump out of the lava fire pool, blocking Greem's path. He leaned slightly and opened his steaming flames.
With a big mouth, he let out an intimidating growl.
Is this a lava dog?
Greem stopped, his black eyes flashing with blue light as he scanned the internal structure of the strange creature in front of him.
This is a flaming creature that is comparable in size to the previous Earth tiger. Most of its body is made of semi-molten hot lava, and the surface of its body is surrounded by roiling flames. This lava dog opens its mouth wide and opens its mouth to
When Greem threatened, the hot magma flowing down from between the fangs even eroded small holes in the floor in front of it.
This shows that the magma in its body is more terrifying than the magma in nature, and the fire element contained in it is more corrosive.
After a while, the biological information scanned by the chip was projected into Greem's mind.
Lava dog, a semi-elemental creature unique to the underground volcanic world, strength level: intermediate apprentice, physical data: strength 9 agility 13 constitution 10 spirit 8, individual abilities: fast running, flame jumping, flame breathing, ferocious bite.
Some of this biological information was analyzed by scanning the lava dog's body structure, and some was supplemented based on book information. As soon as the two information were integrated, all its secrets were immediately completely presented to Greem.
Although the chip indicates the strength of an intermediate apprentice like this lava dog, in this special environment, it is still difficult for ordinary intermediate apprentices to handle it.
Just as Greem was quickly analyzing all the secrets of the lava dog in front of him, his silence had completely angered the other party.
The powerful lava hind paws kicked hard on the floor, and the lava dog's strong body rushed over in the air, and slammed into Greem's temporarily opened flame shield.
There was a dull loud bang.
The lava dog brushed against the flame shield and dodged to Greem's side. Its heavy and muscular body re-adjusted its direction with just a twist and rushed towards him again. But at this time, four striking and deep claw marks appeared on the flame shield.
It has not completely disappeared.
Lava Dog hits the flame shield again!
This time, the flame shield could no longer withstand the attack of the flaming claws, nor could it withstand the impact of the heavy body of the lava dog. It exploded into flaming debris all over the sky with a bang.
As the Fire Lord's scepter swung in Greem's hand, a new flame shield projectile shot out, bouncing away the lava dog that was attacking.
Greem frowned. It seemed that the basic flame shield could no longer adapt to the current intensity of the battle. Even an ordinary lava dog could break it within two rounds. So it is conceivable that when encountering a stronger one
Fire creatures and fire shields are not much stronger than soap bubbles.
The flame shield is indeed an upgraded and improved version of the flame shield, and its protective performance is more than five or six times stronger than it. Greem stood still and allowed the lava dog to let go of his hands and feet to attack, and it took him nearly ten
It took only one turn to consume the flame shield to the point of collapse.
After correcting some necessary parameters through battle, Greem no longer had the intention to "play" with the lava dog. As an elemental crystal core was thrown, a huge rock that almost occupied nearly half of the space of the lava cave
The python emerged from the ground.
Seeing this sudden intruder, the lava dog still swooped forward desperately, defending its home territory to the death. Unfortunately, its self-righteous attack was a farce in front of the rock python, which had a huge advantage in size. Before it could escape from the
The rock python tore off a few rocks, and was bitten by the opponent. It hit the floor and wall of the lava cave several times, and the lava dog was torn apart.
After the lava dog's body disintegrated, Greem picked up a piece of flint that was still burning from the scattered lava fragments. This was the only thing of some value in the lava dog's body!
Greem stayed where he was and started processing the flint, while the summoned rock python meandered towards the remaining flame imps.
Puff puff puff...
Continuous flaming arrows fell like raindrops on the blue-gray rock snake head of the rock python, leaving only shallow pits the size of eggs. Such damage would not even scratch the itch of the rock python.
It doesn't count. It swam up close, biting with its mouth, swiping its long tail, and crushing it with its body. It didn't take a while to kill most of the flaming imps.
Seeing that the situation was not going well, the remaining little ghosts jumped into the steaming flames of the lava fire pool one by one and disappeared in an instant. The entire underground molten cave finally became quiet!
