Chapter 391 1 False Alarm
Chapter 391 A false alarm
'There is a lava lord ahead'
Just a few words shocked Ivan so much that his heart skipped a beat.
Could it be that Jenny's little trick was discovered? Was this a trap set by the night elves, or was there some other unusual trick? He didn't believe it and checked it several times. The smell was not fake, and he confirmed that the road sign left by Jenny was good.
"Flame Scorpion, quickly go to the right, we are going to take another passage."
He didn't have time to think about it, and just thought that something had happened that Jenny didn't understand, and immediately ordered the Flame Scorpion to change the route.
In any case, it's better to be careful.
"Okay, uh-"
Just as the Fire Scorpion was about to leave, it was caught off guard and discovered a huge face not far to its side. The face was made entirely of dark golden molten lava and was staring at it with majesty.
Invincible!
Extremely dangerous!
For a moment, the Fire Scorpion almost ran away.
"Keep calm!"
Seeing that it was beginning to get a little uneasy, Ivan hurriedly gave a low shout, his voice carrying the power to calm its soul and mind.
It turned out that what Jenny reminded was correct. There really was a Lava Lord guarding this place. However, the one in front of him was not his real body. It was just an illusion that was materialized by a thought and a little power.
He could see clearly that the other person's eyes were dull and he didn't react much. He must have fallen asleep nearby.
This matter can be big or small, the key is not to reveal the identity of non-lava creatures, otherwise they will be in great danger.
"Yanxie, listen carefully. From this second on, stay calm, slowly move away, try not to make any noise, don't look back, and don't respond to what I say."
Ivan continued to give orders, his voice becoming faint.
Hearing his magical voice, the Fire Scorpion calmed down a little, and swam slowly away from the golden face as he was told, looking like a thief who was accidentally trapped in someone's home.
Behind it, a golden face stood in the lava, staring at it quietly. The silent pressure made people dare not relax for a moment.
The fire scorpion gradually moved away from the golden face. After a while, it no longer felt the pressure. It couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that it had finally escaped the sight of that thing.
Seeing this, Ivan's face changed slightly, fearing that something bad might happen.
"I thought there was business again. Who are you, you little bastard? How dare you disturb my sleep? I'll teach you a lesson."
Sure enough, an impatient voice was heard immediately.
The golden-faced man was obviously not fully awake. After muttering something in a half-asleep state, he opened his mouth and blew a breath towards the fire scorpion. The magma in that direction boiled further, the temperature rose sharply, and set off huge waves.
In a flash, a turbulent underground river appeared on the fault.
The Fire Scorpion didn't have time to react before it was knocked out by the newly formed dark river. It could still hear the thing's cheerful laughter in its ears, but this time it was completely away from it.
After a while, the Fire Scorpion finally escaped from the predicament after crashing into the mountain wall, feeling dizzy.
"Wizard Ivan, I--"
"Remember this lesson. It's not easy to get out of every mistake you make. You may have to pay with your life, Ze Yi's, and even mine."
"Yeah, I definitely remember that."
"Keep going, and leave this troubled place first."
This time, the Fire Scorpion learned a lesson and was seriously injured, but fortunately it was strong, especially in the current magma environment, its injuries recovered faster, and overall it was not serious, so it could only be regarded as a false alarm.
Under Ivan's instructions, the Fire Scorpion quickly entered the passage deep in the fault.
"Huh! The Lava Lord should be gone now. He almost scared me just now." The old tree man Meg had been holding back and didn't dare to speak, for fear that her voice would disturb the Fire Scorpion.
"We were at the last fault, and we were about to cross the lava." Ivan said. Only then did he have the leisure to think about what the lava lord had said. It seemed that the other party was collecting tolls, which had never been recorded in any document. He also didn't know what the other party's 'toll' required, and whether it required a personal relationship.
Anyway, he didn't dare to go over and ask.
Even the lords who guard the underground and surface passages know how to betray. It can only be said that there are all kinds of strange things in this world.
"Then we will be in the underground world soon." Meg was stunned for a moment, and her heart couldn't help but jump for joy: "Hey, the underground world, I, Meg, am finally coming."
"Why do you yearn for the underground world so much?"
"There is no one who does not yearn for the underground world. Once you get there, you will know that it is the center of the world of Danara. I advise you not to leave after you go there. You will definitely not regret staying in the center of the world." Meg looked fascinated.
"Really? If I don't leave the underground, according to the contract, you will have to be my bodyguard for the rest of my life." Ivan said jokingly.
"Uh - is that true?" Meg's face froze for a moment. Thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be true.
"I'm just kidding. I have a lot of things to deal with on the ground, so I won't stay in the underground world for long." Seeing his dumbfounded look, Ivan said with a smile.
"Then you must come again after you go back." Meg breathed a sigh of relief, then felt a little embarrassed and added.
It seemed that it had never considered that the human wizard in front of it would go back on his word.
Ivan didn't know what to say about this. This old tree man went to the underground world. He wouldn't be sold and help others count money, right? To be honest, it is possible.
After passing through a long lava channel, the lava boat finally arrived at the end of the lava.
"How peculiar!"
"Yeah yeah."
Unlike what was expected, there was no wonder at the end. After the molten lava flowed to a certain position, it suddenly stopped flowing forward at all, as if there was some restricted area ahead.
Inertia doesn't apply here at all.
Perhaps it was because his realm was too shallow, Ivan did not sense any diaphragm obstruction. The magma just stood there for no reason, which was breathtaking.
The lava boat emerged from the molten lava and landed lightly on the ground. After Ivan and his companions left the cabin, the Fire Scorpion returned to its original appearance.
"How is the recovery going?" Ivan glanced at it.
"I'm fine." The Fire Scorpion shook its tail to show that it was recovering well.
"Then let's keep going." Ivan threw over a healing potion, which the Fire Scorpion swallowed in one gulp, including the bottle and the potion.
Coming out of the passage, you can see that the upper and lower strata here are not far apart. Occasionally, there are stones emitting mottled red light on the upper strata. At first glance, it seems as if there is a sky dotted with stars, but the sky is a little low.
As they continued to move forward, the ground above them became higher and higher, and the surroundings became more and more empty, as if they had arrived at another continent.
What’s amazing is that the energy particles here are not only highly concentrated, but also have a different kind of vitality, which gives people a comfortable feeling, just like coming to a place with fresher air and all the pores on the body open up.
Ivan was only slightly surprised, but the old tree man Meg was so intoxicated that she wanted to breathe deeply.
"I kind of believe what you said." Ivan said.
"What?" Meg didn't respond.
"The underground is the center of the world of Darnayla."
"Of course. As we all know, the deeper you go underground, the denser and more exotic the energy becomes, and the richer the resources become. If you can reach the legendary seventh floor, you might even be able to pick up a lost throne."
Seeing that the old tree man's words were getting more and more outrageous, Ivan shook his head secretly.
As far as he knew, the throne was condensed from a sixth-level creature, not picked up from somewhere, and he didn't know where Meg heard the rumor.
What's even more outrageous is that Meg seems to believe it.
This guy is so gullible.
