Chapter 276 Parasitic Plant in Magma: Crystal Lotus

Seven days passed in a blink of an eye.

The magma eruption in the lava volcano zone has stopped, and smoke and dust are flying high into the sky in the strong wind, forming thick clouds. The magma on the ground is flowing, intersecting and converging in the ravines between the volcanoes.

It's a totally doomsday scene.

And in the lava, some golden, red, and silver crystalline ores were also revealed, exuding a fiery fire element, and shimmering under the firelight of the lava.

Buzz——

The ground near the lava volcano trembled, and countless animals and birds came from a distance, either with flames or with fire, and rushed to the lava area where the volcanic eruption ended, or used their claws to dig through the semi-solidified lava. Or pick up the crystal stones with their sharp mouth, which can be said to be a display of their magical powers.

At this moment, even the soul beasts that had a "prey" and "predator" relationship with each other did not have any conflict and concentrated on finding various ores and then taking them.

The human side is watching from a distance, waiting for these soul beasts to eat and drink enough before they can take action.

In a sense, these humans who pursue volcanic minerals can be regarded as the earliest observers of volcanic ecology in Douluo Continent. Unfortunately, almost no one is interested in the connection between these soul beasts and volcanoes. Then dig for minerals and collect the excrement of soul beasts.

At this moment, the soul beasts ignored the two-legged beasts who were watching them eating and drinking, and focused on finding energy-rich ores to improve their cultivation.

In these seven days, Tang San and Huo Wu had found a way to go deeper. Ignoring these hundred-year-old and thousand-year-old spirit beasts, they headed straight for the deep areas of the lava volcano.

After advancing about five hundred miles, a volcano appeared in front of us again, about a thousand meters high. A deafening beast roar came from it, followed by a loud phoenix cry.

"What kind of soul beast's cry is that?" Huo Wu asked.

"We're lucky." Tang San's mental power had already detected the appearance of the two spirit beasts. With a raised corner of his mouth, he took the lead in climbing towards the volcano.

Huo Wu hurriedly followed.

When we arrived at the edge of the crater, the lava underneath was slowly falling, revealing pieces of fan-shaped platform-shaped black rock, each covering an area of ​​more than two hundred square meters.

On the rock wall, there were golden crystals the size of heads, with golden energy flowing inside them. The waves escaping from them solidified the surrounding air.

"According to Lou Gao's sorting of metals and ores, this kind of golden crystal is called sun crystal. It exists on the inner wall of the volcano. It was born after being nurtured by magma for thousands of years. It contains surging fire-attribute energy and bursts out. It is extremely powerful, like a sun falling into the earth."

Tang San introduced, "Because it is difficult to pick and easy to explode, blacksmiths used to dislike this kind of crystal. But with the establishment of Soul Guidance Technology City and the research on soul guidance patterns, this kind of crystal has become popular again." If it has a use, it can be used as a power source to provide energy.”

“Just picking is still a big problem.”

"However, some fire-attributed soul beasts can directly swallow this crystal stone to refine the energy in it and use it to improve their cultivation."

Right now, there are two soul beasts collecting and swallowing sun crystals.

One of them is more than 20 meters tall, like a gorilla, but there is no hair on its body. Instead, it is covered with an outer armor similar to lava, and a trace of red fire is revealed in the gaps.

It grasped those black rocks, swung its arms, kept jumping, collecting those sun crystals, and from time to time roared at another giant bird whose whole body was composed of flames and light, as if it was swearing its sovereignty.

That bird is the Guangyan Yun Yan bird.

It was seen chewing the sun crystal on the volcanic rock wall while spraying fireballs at the Titan Fire Ape, as if he wanted to drive it away.

"Just in time, the snipe and the clam are fighting, and the fisherman will benefit." Huo Wu was overjoyed and felt that he was lucky this time, "How many years are they?"

"The age of cultivation of the Titan Fiery Ape is judged based on its size. Depending on the situation, it is at least 50,000 years; while the cultivation level of the Guangyan Yunyan Bird is judged based on the phoenix feathers on its head. It takes 10,000 years to grow a feather. , this one has six roots, which are sixty thousand years old." Tang San distinguished the cultivation years of the two, and then asked, "Have you decided which one to choose? Titan Fiery Ape? Or Light Flame Cloud Smoke Bird?"

The Titan Fire Ape has a fire attribute, has the ability to control gravity, and possesses ultimate strength.

The Flame Cloud Smoke Bird has dual attributes of light and fire. It has its own floating skills, and its whole body seems to be composed of energy.

"Guangyan Yunyanniao, no matter how you look at it, it is more suitable for my sun goddess. Although I do prefer the feeling of fisting to the flesh, I also have to consider my own martial spirit." Huo Wu hesitated for a while, and finally Or choose the Brilliant Cloud Smoke Bird.

"Well, let's wait until they both lose." Tang San looked at the battle between the two giant beasts below, and Huo Wu waited for the best opportunity to take action.

boom!

In anger, the Titan Fire Ape used a little force and scratched a piece of black rock. His body suddenly lost his balance and fell down.

Fortunately, his arms were flexible and he slammed into the inner wall of the volcano, restraining his body. However, the inner wall suddenly shattered, revealing a huge hole.

The Titan Fire Ape's nose moved, and he gave up the fight with the Flame Cloud Smoke Bird and ran in without looking back.

And the blazing cloud smoke bird seemed to smell something that attracted it, and it also flew in.

But in the blink of an eye, the two disappeared.

"What should we do now?" Huo Wu was shocked. Unexpectedly, such a change occurred. The Titan Fiery Ape actually penetrated the barrier and found a hole.

"Let's go in and take a look." Tang San decided to find out, jumped into the crater, jumped along the black rock platform on the edge, and headed towards the dark cave entrance.

Fire Dance followed closely behind.

Arriving at the entrance of the cave, Huo Wu felt an extremely rich fire-attribute energy of heaven and earth, mixed with light attributes, which made her Sun Goddess Martial Spirit tremble, as if urging her to hurry in.

"There must be treasures with the two ultimate attributes of light and fire!" Tang San took out a soul-guided lighting device similar to a flashlight from the storage wristband, and walked in with Huo Wu.

Following the footprints left by the Titan Blazing Ape on the ground, the two of them moved forward quickly. Within ten minutes, Tang San noticed that he, Huo Wu and others were running around and descending around the inner edge of the volcano.

There is actually a spiral downward staircase in the inner wall of this volcano!

It's just that the entire volcano is in the shape of a cone. Every time it drops ten meters, the circumference required for them to run a circle will increase. But fortunately, both of them are spirit masters, and on the way to the lava volcano zone, Tang San has already mastered all kinds of secret skills. Passed down to Huo Wu, the running method of the walker in the carefree wind: the nine steps of stepping on the sky are unfolded, and the speed is not unpleasant.

In about half an hour, the two of them had already circled the spiral inner wall of the volcano and saw the exit that was a hundred meters high and about fifty meters wide in front of them.

A rich red light lit up at the entrance of the cave, exuding a burning aura.

Tang San looked around and found several lava flows hanging downward like waterfalls, but underneath it was not the magma pool he imagined, but a large island composed of sun crystals...

And in the center of the island composed of sun crystals, there was a huge golden lotus-shaped plant, which was golden in color and shone in the light of the lava fire.

The Titan Fire Ape and the Flame Cloud Smoke Bird were running towards the lotus.

"What is that?" Huo Wu asked, "Is it similar to the fairy grass you brought back from the Ice and Fire Eyes before?"

"I'm afraid so." Tang San nodded, but he didn't know exactly what it was, so he channeled his thoughts and asked the know-it-all in his mind.

"I really don't know everything." Electrolux complained, then carefully looked at the lotus flower with his spiritual consciousness, and sighed: "I didn't expect such a thing to actually exist!"

"What on earth is this?"

Tang San asked, "I can only see that even soul masters who are not light and fire attributes can get great benefits from taking this thing, and it can even cause the spirit to evolve, and in the direction of light and fire attributes." The ultimate evolution.”

"When I was still alive, I once found a secret document that recorded a strange lotus-shaped plant like this." Electrolux sat cross-legged in Tang San's upper dantian, holding his chin, and pulled himself What he knew slowly came out, "According to rumors, each plane is an unawakened life. The earth and ocean are his skin, the rock formations are his muscles, the magma is his blood, and the core is his soul." .”

"And the creatures living on the earth and ocean, including humans, are just insignificant parasites, not even parasites."

"The real 'parasite' is the existence that sucks the energy of his blood——"

"Jinglian."

"A strange plant that draws energy from magma to survive."

"Wherever there is this kind of plant, there are usually large-scale volcanoes. This is the will of the plane to remove it from the 'blood'..."

"This crystal lotus should have been in a deeper position in the magma, but because of this volcanic eruption, it was pushed to an area closer to the outer layer of the earth."

"Now I believe that this is true, and it is similar to what you told Huo Wu before about the creatures' adaptation to the environment. For example, fish cannot leave the water, and the fire spirit snake cannot adapt to the air environment. This crystal lotus is also It cannot adapt to a non-magma living environment."

"Originally, this crystal lotus should have been sprayed out, and then withered and died in the air, but this one was lucky. It was blocked by the magma in this place, instead of spewing out directly from the big mouth, but here Compared with the inner layer of magma, the temperature is very low, which is equivalent to a person suddenly going from a normal temperature environment to a low temperature environment of more than ten degrees below zero."

"It is estimated that this will cause great damage to Crystal Lotus, and it will take three hundred years to recover... This also created the legend of this lava world in the lava city outside."

When Electrolux finished speaking, the Titan Fire Ape and the Flame Cloud Smoke Bird had already approached the Crystal Lotus...
