No matter how you look at it, this looks like the anteroom leading to the BOSS room?
"So should I go and pay it back, or not?"
"What if Xuanhuilong is not here? What if it is sleeping?"
Su Yi considered various possible situations, but he just couldn't suppress his desire to explore.
"Go and take a look?"
Su Yi released the Steel Armored Crow, flew over the lava river, and landed in front of the cave entrance.
"Huh!" Su Yi took a deep breath and released the ferocious jackal dragon.
"Dig slowly this time and make less noise." Su Yi specifically instructed.
The great ferocious jackal dragon nodded and started digging.
Su Yi and Lu Cao walked into the cave, and Rotom was lighting it up.
Not sure if it was because he slowed down the digging speed or because he was excited and nervous, Su Yi felt like a lot of time had passed.
Finally, with a bang, the ground was dug up, and the red light and high temperature of the magma came in through the hole.
Su Yi took back the ferocious jackal dragon, and he and Lu Cao stuck out their heads together.
Before our eyes is a huge underground lava area. The magma flows through the rugged terrain and goes deeper into the cave, while some magma flows down from great heights, splashing out magma flowers.
Clusters of mineral veins can be seen exposed at the edge of the magma, reflecting charming light under the light of the magma.
In this hot and brightly lit world, there is only the sound of flowing magma, just like the legendary hell, or the place where dragons crystallize deep in the New World.
"It was a mistake. I didn't bring any cold mushrooms or cold drinks." Su Yi opened the mask, breathing in, and sweat flowed down his skin.
Lu Cao hugged the elegant scimitar that gave off a chill, gasping for breath.
Looking from the cave entrance, there were no traces of gold on the nearby rocks, which meant that Xuanhuilong did not stay here and rarely moved here.
Su Yi continued to explore inside along the rocky ground. When passing by a rock wall, he found some bones exposed.
"Fossil?" Su Yi was surprised, and then knocked it with a pickaxe.
Brush la la.
The brittle rocks fell off and part of the bones appeared on the cross section.
"What kind of monster is this?" Su Yi looked at the huge twisted skeleton, puzzled.
"Lava dragon's?"
Just when Su Yi was about to release the accompanying beast to dig, a loud bang, like the sound of magma erupting, came from the deep space.
Su Yi put away the pickaxe and carefully looked around the corner. At that moment, his heart stopped.
A huge monster like a lion folded its wings, majestically paced in its flame country, and walked towards this side.
Su Yi turned around, sweat running down his face: Isn't this Xuanhuilong's territory? Why is there a Flame King Dragon? !
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 196 One dares to feed, the other dares to eat
Su Yi leaned against a rock, his heart rate racing.
He had no time to think about why he met the Flame Dragon here.
Because the Fire Dragon is different from the Steel Dragon, it has a bad temper, and Su Yi is not sure whether this is its nest.
No matter how good-tempered an ancient dragon is, it will be angry or even furious if a strange creature breaks into its nest.
Bang, bang, bang...
The footsteps of the Flame Dragon were gradually approaching, beating against my heart like drumbeats.
The temperature around was gradually rising, and the heat wave blew sparks through the hole beside me.
Bang.
The footsteps paused, then sounded again, but the sound was gradually fading away.
Su Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then carefully retreated along the rock wall with the dew grass.
When he reached the middle of the passage, Su Yi hurriedly glanced at the entrance of the cave. Through the gap, Su Yi could not see the figure of the Flame King Dragon and wondered where it had gone.
Su Yi immediately retreated to the lava space behind.
The magma was gurgling, and the surrounding rock formations were undulating, with stalagmites and towering basalts. Su Yi was afraid that the Flame King Dragon would suddenly appear from somewhere.
"Huh!" Su Yi breathed a sigh of relief temporarily, and then realized that his sweat had soaked the lining of his armor.
"What kind of monster was that just now, meow?" Lucao asked, touching his beard which was curled up due to the heat.
"It's Yan Miao... No, it's the ancient dragon, the king of Yan Country, the Yan King Dragon." Su Yi said after taking a sip of water, and walked back the way he came.
"Isn't this the territory of Xuanhuilong meow? How could there be a Flame King Dragon meow?" Lucao scratched his ear.
Su Yi calmed down and thought for a while, then said, "Maybe this isn't Xuan Hui Long's territory, but he's just passing by."
Since there are basically no traces of gold left by Xuanhuilong here, it means that it did not stay here for too long.
Moreover, Su Yi guessed that although Xuanhuilong liked areas with higher temperatures, it would not stay in extremely high temperature magma areas for a long time.
Because the magma will soften its golden coat, making the metal easy to fall off, which is not in line with Xuanhuilong's original intention of collecting metals.
And the Flame King Dragon should not be an ancient dragon that likes to stay underground. There must be a passage leading to the outside on the other side.
The Flame King Dragon may have come here for the minerals, as it feeds on minerals containing explosive and flammable substances.
"It's true that we have found some fellow miners." Su Yi sighed.
"But it seems that Xuanhuilong may have left this golden city." Su Yi guessed.
"Su Yi meow, it seems to be getting hotter and hotter." Lu Cao suddenly said as they walked.
"Hot?" Su Yi wiped the sweat off his face and immediately felt the extreme heat.
Suddenly, the surrounding magma began to boil, and some of it gushed out like a fountain.
"What happened?" Su Yi dodged the lava splashing at his feet and said anxiously.
Bang, bang, bang...
Dull footsteps were heard, and not far from Su Yi, a waterfall of lava flowing down from above suddenly parted.
First, a huge red horn like a crown passed through the magma, followed by a fiery red mane, and then strong limbs covered with red scales...
As the King of Yan State walked out step by step, the temperature around him suddenly rose, and specks of dust flew out with the slight fluttering of his wings.
"How come there is a secret passage behind this lava waterfall?!" Su Yi was stunned by the sudden appearance of the Flame King Dragon.
"Meow..." Lu Cao leaned against Su Yi's legs tremblingly.
"Woo woo woo..." The Flame King Dragon made a low sound, and its blue eyes looked at Su Yi and Lu Cao majestically.
Su Yi swallowed his saliva and slowly retreated while pulling Lucao.
Bang.
Unexpectedly, the Flame King Dragon seemed to have noticed something, and took a step forward, just looking at Su Yi.
Su Yi couldn't see anything from the Flame Dragon's eyes, but as long as it didn't attack immediately, it meant that it had no hostility for the time being, and Su Yi had a chance to escape safely.
Su Yi took another step back, and the Flame King Dragon paced slowly, staring at Su Yi while walking around him.
"What do you mean?" Su Yi looked confused.
The Flame King Dragon slowly stood still and looked at the small bag on his back with some uncertainty.
"In my backpack?" Su Yi slowly took off his backpack and opened it. In addition to some commonly used medicines and projectiles...
It is an evolutionary stone that allows the Scratching Bird to be ready to use its ability to utilize local materials at any time.
"Could it be...?" Su Yi thought for a moment and took out a fire stone.
The Flame King Dragon immediately looked towards the Fire Stone with a look of confusion and interest in his eyes.
"Is this it?" Su Yi was a little confused.
The Flame King Dragon feeds on minerals rich in flammable and explosive substances, and the Fire Stone containing concentrated flame energy may be a novel delicacy for the Flame King Dragon.
"Okay, take it." Su Yi gently placed the Fire Stone on the ground, then slowly stepped back.
The Flame King Dragon came over, picked up the Fire Stone and swallowed it into its mouth. The small piece of Fire Stone was like a grain of rice in the Flame King Dragon's mouth and was not enough to satisfy it.
The Flame King Dragon then looked at Su Yi.
Su Yi spread his hands in embarrassment and said, "It's really gone..."
Seeing that the Flame King Dragon was still looking at him, Su Yi scratched his head, then gritted his teeth, took out the ore dug out from the back of the Molten Mountain Dragon from [Items], and placed it on the ground.
Molten Dragon also feeds on ores containing explosive substances, which is similar to the diet of Flame King Dragon. The minerals it carries on its body also contain these substances to a greater or lesser extent.
The Flame Dragon lowered its head and picked up a piece of ore, then as it bit its teeth, the ore ignited with flames and dust, and the next moment, countless residues fell from the Flame Dragon's mouth, and the refined ore was swallowed into its stomach.
While the Flame King Dragon was dealing with the pile of ore, Su Yi and Lu Cao retreated step by step until the terrain blocked the Flame King Dragon's sight. Su Yi immediately pulled Lu Cao into the cave passage they came from.
"Damn! This fellow miner is trying to steal my mines! This is unbelievable!"
Su Yi called out the Rotom on his cell phone to light up the passage, then ran out quickly.
Feeling unsafe, Su Yi released the scratching bird and rode it all the way back to the entrance of the Golden Country before he breathed a sigh of relief.
Su Yi didn't think that those melted walls could stop the Flame King Dragon, because the Flame King Dragon could build its nest by changing the terrain within a radius of hundreds of meters through earth-shaking explosions.
He could only hope that the Flame King Dragon would not chase him to the Golden Country just for a few bites of food, otherwise his camp would be gone.
“I didn’t expect the underground world to be so complicated.”
Su Yi couldn't help but think of a work called "Journey to the Center of the Earth". Is there a more vast underground world with a unique ecology deep underground in the New World?
After thinking about which monsters were hiding underground, Su Yi sighed, "Maybe that's the world of the strong."
Just as Su Yi was marveling at today's adventure, the "Hunting Guide" suddenly vibrated.
"What's going on? Is this a mission? I'm already here..."
Su Yi opened it with confusion, only to find that the sign of his camp located in the cave was flashing between bright and transparent, as if it was about to disappear.
