[Ding! Found an item that can be picked up, do you want to pick it up? 】
【yes!】
Raymond nodded to confirm without hesitation.
Since the system recognizes that it can be collected, it will naturally not burst.
The next moment, the iron chain disappeared into thin air.
Seeing the God Chain disappearing before his eyes, Ilya was stunned.
She glared at Raymond, an expression of horror appeared on her pretty face.
How can it be?
She dragged Raymond into the water, not only to scare him, but also to dispel his crazy idea and let him give up after giving it a try.
When she thought about it, even if it was a fragment, it was an artifact that existed hundreds of millions of years earlier than the Nyx civilization! It was something that even the powerful demigods were afraid of, how could a low-level transcendent take it away?
But what happens now?!
She watched as Raymond touched the divine chain lightly, and the thing disappeared!
The most intuitive feeling was that the temperature in the ice-free spring returned to normal instantly. Even without the protection of the totem, she could no longer feel the biting feeling of the cold knife.
...
The water came out with a "crash".
The two stepped up the steps and returned to the ground.
Ilya stared at Raymond as if he were a monster and said, "You...how on earth did you do that?"
Having just obtained an artifact, Raymond couldn't hide the excitement in his eyes: "I have special space equipment, so I took away the God Chain."
Although Ilya found it unbelievable, he also accepted the reality.
She thought for a while and then said in a weird tone: "Then you are going to keep things in the space equipment for the rest of your life? As long as you take out the god-locking chain, you will be the first to die..."
"ha?"
Only then did Raymond realize that the thing had been successfully placed in the system package tray, but how to take it out?
"Then...let's leave it alone for now."
When he thought about it, one day, if he encountered an unbeatable enemy, at least he would have the means to die together. Taking out this thing would be equivalent to detonating an atomic bomb and freezing it for three thousand miles.
"It's up to you..."
Ilya spread his hands helplessly and said, "At least until you reach the extraordinary level of demigod, you won't be able to touch that thing."
Rumble...
As soon as she finished speaking,
At this moment, the entire temple suddenly shook slightly.
The stone pillars in the temple were shaking constantly, and the flames in the brazier were also swaying.
Like a slight earthquake, it calmed down after a while.
Although there was not much movement, it was still quite scary.
"Is the ruins going to collapse?"
Raymond obviously also realized that taking away the God Chain might have triggered some kind of restriction. He asked Ilya next to him: "What happened to the earthquake just now?"
The temple is the domain of the High Priest of Nyx, and she has absolute say.
Ilya frowned and closed his eyes for a moment.
It seemed that the high priest's special ability was used to communicate with the mysterious existence.
After a while, she looked weird and muttered, "I didn't expect it to be alive..."
Raymond was a little confused and asked: "What is still alive?"
Her tone sounded like some kind of creature. Could it be that there are some other monsters in this temple?
Ilya urged: "Let's go, the 'God Chain' that suppresses the temple is no longer there, it is about to wake up."
"etc!"
Raymond looked at Ilya with a very relaxed expression, as if the situation was not that urgent or tense.
He glanced at the water in the cold pool, and with a slightly lack of confidence in his tone, he asked, "Um... Ilya, can you pack some things from this ice-free spring and leave?"
Although I haven’t thought of the use of this [Hell’s Unfreezing Spring] yet, with his wild goose-plucking personality, how could he be worthy of such a trip if he didn’t drink a few cans of it?
"Uncle..."
Hearing this, Ilya was completely convinced. She looked at Raymond's longing eyes angrily and burst into laughter.
However, she should have thought that if someone dared to pay attention to the chain, how could he let this ice-free spring go?
How could this guy be so greedy?
She thought about it and said helplessly: "This ice-free spring is corrosive and can only be filled with glass vessels. There are some copper pots and clay pots in this temple. Where can I find a glass pot?"
"No need to look for it, I have it with me!"
Raymond was delighted when he heard this and slapped his thigh fiercely.
In the blink of an eye, he took out countless glass pots, beakers, duckbill pots, flasks, Erlenmeyer flasks, wide-mouth bottles...
Glassware of various sizes required for the preparation of potions was placed on the floor.
In addition to being used to prepare magic potions, these things were originally used to prepare for emergencies.
After so many years of playing games in previous lives, how could I not know that I might encounter this situation?
"Then I'll just pretend?"
After receiving the affirmative answer, Raymond did not hesitate at all and controlled the sacred tree puppet to happily start filling the cold pool with water.
"Uncle... hurry up, that guy is about to wake up. Forget it, let me help you..."
Ilya finally couldn't stand it any longer. Like a hard-working little daughter-in-law, she squatted on the edge of the cold pool, picked up the glass jug, and started filling him with water.
Finally, all the containers that could be freed were filled with ice-free springs, and Raymond breathed a sigh of relief with satisfaction.
If Ilya hadn't finally been able to stand it no longer and forcibly dragged him out of the ruins, he would have even wanted to pry off a few pieces of the obsidian altar.
...
"Let's go, uncle! The volcano is going to erupt soon..."
"..."
"What? You said that the entire Niguel Volcanic Islands... is a turtle? And, it's alive?!"
"Otherwise? Uncle, why do you think this place is called the 'Mountain Turtle Temple'?"
"..."
Raymond was stunned when he heard it, and he confirmed it several times before he was willing to believe that such a big sea beast really existed in the world, instead of listening to myths and legends.
This is not as huge as the Neptune species... but the islands covering dozens of square kilometers are the back of a giant turtle!
There is also an active volcano with a history of eruptions for nearly a hundred years?!
Ilya said as he walked: "Don't be so surprised. The high priest's cognitive inheritance contains the origin of this mountain turtle. The ancient beast 'Volcan Turtle' captured by the 'Witch Ancestor' was suppressed here with a divine chain.
This kind of creature has a long lifespan, and it is normal for it to live for tens of thousands of years..."
Hearing this, Raymond complained quietly: "It would be strange not to be surprised..."
Suddenly, he thought of something and his expression changed!
He almost forgot that the purpose of coming to Niguel Volcano this time was not to find any temple, but to find the "Red Fruit" that the lava dragon missed in the crater!
"Ilya, how long do you think it will take for this giant turtle to wake up?"
"I guess about an hour..."
"Oh, it should be too late! You and Matthew go back first, I have to find something in the crater!"
"Ah? Then hurry up... Although this volcano turtle is in a docile mood, it has been hibernating for thousands of years. I can't guarantee what will happen when it wakes up..."
Raymond didn't wait to say anything and rushed towards the temple at full speed.
...
Duzhang Island is very close to the Niguel volcano. Raymond rowed at full speed, but it only took a quarter of an hour.
Then he rushed into the crater without stopping and rushed directly under the lava.
The journey was smooth and smooth.
The temperature in the crater is getting higher and higher, and there is a strong and choking smell of sulfur.
"What kind of fruit is there really here?"
Not long after, Raymond had climbed down more than a thousand meters along the rock wall of the crater. The surrounding temperature was so high that the shoes under his feet could smell a burning smell.
There are no living things here, only gray volcanic rocks and ashes. At the end of the field of vision, about one or two kilometers away, you can see the red and hot lava. At this moment, the magma pool is like a pot of boiling hot pot, with bubbles
It was rolling, and there were faint signs of eruption.
"I don't know when this mountain turtle will wake up. I hope it won't erupt..."
Raymond touched the rock wall and saw that it was really a stone. Even though Ilya said that, he still couldn't believe that the Niger Volcano, which was more than 3,000 meters above sea level, was actually just a vent on the back of a turtle.
"Huh... being able to go this far is almost the limit of the physical body..."
Raymond exhaled a long breath. He did not intend to continue taking risks, but overcontrolled the sacred tree puppet and jumped directly.
Now he feels more and more comfortable to use this sacred wooden puppet.
Just now, he was not corrupted in the cold pool of the ice-free spring. Now even falling into the lava is probably like taking a hot bath.
...
The wind howls,
The puppet descended very quickly and landed on the edge of the magma pool in an instant, standing firmly on a huge stone.
"Huh? This seems to be the place where the lava dragon sleeps?"
Raymond and the puppet share their senses and can roughly "see" the surrounding environment clearly.
At this moment, a plant with the breath of life apparently appeared in his perception.
"Really?"
If the location had not been determined, it would have been impossible to distinguish this strange object wrapped in fire elements from the fiery red magma pool.
Raymond looked at a lone flame sapling emerging from the magma pool a few hundred meters away, with a red persimmon-like fruit hanging on it! This sapling looked like a water lotus, just like a water lotus.
Then it grew out of the hot magma.
"Hey...it's amazing, plants can actually grow from magma."
Raymond sighed in his heart and did not dare to delay any longer.
He manipulated the puppet and tentatively leaned toward the fruit...
"Bang!"
There was a muffled sound.
But before he even got close, he was hit hard on the head.
When he turned around, he saw a white monkey throwing stones at him!
"What the hell... you stupid monkey, you dare to throw stones at me?" Raymond was stunned at first. He didn't expect to encounter a living creature in such a high crater?
Time was running out, and he had no intention of competing with the monkey. He planned to pick the fruit first.
Squeak, squeak, squeak...
But this move seemed to anger the white-haired monkey.
It bared its teeth and screamed strangely from a high place, obviously helpless.
"Oh, I just like seeing the expression on your face that you want to kill me but you can't do anything about me..."
There are no evil dragons in the mountains, and the monkey is the king.
Raymond also understood clearly. It was probably the evil dragon coming out of the sea. The white-haired monkey dove occupied the magpie's nest and peeked at the spiritual fruit for a long time.
It is estimated that it can't get close to the high-temperature magma for the time being, so it can't do anything.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sound of stones hitting the ground was loud.
The sacred tree puppet ignored the stone thrown by the monkey because it didn't hurt anyway. It jumped into the lava pool and saw that it would be able to pick the fruit after just a few steps.
At this moment, the white monkey also realized something and suddenly became furious.
How can it sit still when its own fruit is about to be snatched away?
At this moment, a strange scene appeared!
The white-haired monkey went crazy and jumped into the magma pool desperately. The moment the high-temperature heat wave hit its face, its white fur stood up as if it had been touched by static electricity, and at the same time a blazing flame burned!
It's not that the hair was ignited by the high temperature, but just like the infuriating energy of a transcendent person, this white-haired monkey was actually covered in flames and infuriating energy was coming out!
Such a strange sight is simply unbelievable.
"Hey...this monkey is a little weird. Could it be some kind of rare spiritual species?"
Even from a distance, Raymond could clearly see the changes that had occurred on the white-haired monkey.
But even if it transformed into such a strange phenomenon, the monkey was burned to the point of screaming when it jumped into the magma pit. How could those fleshy palms compare to the invincible body of the sacred wooden puppet? Hearing a burning sound,
The white monkey was screamed and screamed as it was burned, and it was feared that it would be burned alive in the lava pit soon.
Raymond raised his eyebrows and said in surprise, "Fortunately, this monkey is not close to the weather, otherwise it would really have to pick the fruit first..."
Even if there was no place to stay in the magma pool, the sacred tree puppet had no fear at all. It picked the fruit easily as if it was swimming in a swimming pool.
"Huh... finally got it."
The mountain turtle was about to wake up, and Raymond did not dare to delay. He controlled the sacred tree puppet, picked the fruit and immediately went ashore.
You can jump off the building when you go down, and the sacred wood puppet will be much slower when you come up. Only halfway up, you see the burning and dying white-haired monkey jumping out again!
But with Raymond's bad temper, how could he let a beast snatch away the spiritual fruit he got?
The sacred wooden puppet let the monkey bite it and climbed up without stopping.
"Hey...did the monkey finally give up?"
The Shenmu Puppet was about to reunite with its true body, and probably because he saw the number of enemies changing from one to two, Raymond suddenly saw the monkey suddenly jump off the rock wall, as if he knew he was outmatched and had no intention of grabbing the fruit.
But...
He thought wrong.
"Oh...this monkey is really a sperm!"
Raymond had just met with the sacred tree puppet, and before he had time to see the properties of the fruit, he turned around and saw the monkey chasing after him with a long sword filled with flames!
Yes, I read that right!
It's really a monkey holding a sword, like a street gangster, with a fierce look on its face and wanting to kill people!
Raymond almost thought he had seen it wrong, but he was stunned for a moment when the knife in the monkey's paw was already slashing at him.
"This flaming red sword is also a treasure!"
When he saw the monkey rushing towards him, he was not anxious but overjoyed.
The first thought was not to retreat, but to think that the monkey was bringing a treasure!
He watched the monkey take this flaming red sword from the lava pit below. It was at such a high temperature that ordinary steel would melt. How could there be a sword? The only possibility is that this flaming sword is also a sword.
Is this a treasure? Otherwise, it would definitely not have existed in this lava pit for countless years...
"This monkey...is really a treasure-delivery boy!"
Although Raymond was surprised that this monkey had such high intelligence and could cut people. But he was a direct descendant of the "Jokudou One Sword Style", how could he let a beast lose in a sword duel?!
Sure enough, although the monkey was nimble, he was very weak in swordsmanship, and could only chop arbitrarily after tossing and turning.
Raymond drew the knife with his backhand and cut the monkey's arm easily with one stroke.
"Keng!"
There was a crisp sound of metal touching, and he was shocked to find that his knife did not hurt the monkey at all!
"Copper skin and iron bones!"
Raymond looked at the knife in his hand in surprise, and then at the monkey, his eyes filled with disbelief.
He quickly used his True Seeing Eye to investigate.
[Fire Spirit Iron Bone Monkey]
Third level juvenile body
Detailed explanation: Abyss creatures, copper skin and iron bones;
"Hey...Didn't Lulu ask me to bring him some special experimental subjects? I've never heard of this monkey in the game. It should be a rare species. Bring it back to him to see..."
Thinking of this, Raymond not only coveted the flaming sword in the monkey's hand, but also paid attention to his body.
The monkey's intelligence was also extremely high. Although it was not injured when it was hit by a sword just now, it was still hurt by the sword blade.
Squeak, squeak, squeak...
The sword hit the white monkey had also made it clear in its memory, and it did not dare to rush forward rashly again. It hung on the opposite cliff, baring its teeth fiercely at Raymond from time to time.
If it were anyone else, they might not be able to do anything about this monkey on this steep rock wall. This guy is jumping up and down on the rock wall with great agility. If he senses any danger, he will immediately flee to the volcano, making it impossible to catch him.
live.
But Raymond can [Transform]!
Now, not only was the monkey in front of him a rare species, but the flaming red sword in his hand was also a treasure. How could he let the white monkey escape so easily?
Whoosh~
When the monkey discovered that there was a person missing from its field of vision, it immediately realized something, and a flash of panic flashed in its eyes. At this moment, it was about to jump off the volcano, but suddenly it saw a figure appearing in the darkness above its head.
Before it could raise its sword to fight back, a black stick suddenly came towards its forehead.
"Bang!"
The iron rod hit the iron head, and the monkey's eyes turned dizzy, his whole body went limp, and he immediately fell off the rock wall.
"Tsk tsk, this monkey's head is really hard."
Raymond's tiger's mouth was slightly numb, and with quick eyes and quick hands, he caught the monkey with one hand and grabbed the fallen sword with the other hand. After taking this breath, he kicked his legs and jumped up, landing steadily.
