PDLP Chapter 182 Under the Magma
Chapter 182 Under the Magma
"What the hell is Thorin and Dionysus?"
Xi Sui'an scratched his hair, puzzled. Did the god take over Thorin's body? Or did Thorin devour Dionysus's consciousness?
"It's a twisted oath." Tide's voice sounded beside his ears, "Thorin was refined by the Goblet of Carnival. To put it bluntly, it's just Dionysus's drinking vessel. As for Dionysus, he must have been stripped of his divinity by a certain god and then forcibly integrated into the Goblet of Carnival. His consciousness and Thorin's soul have experienced a confrontation for tens of thousands of years. God knows what they have become now."
Xi Sui'an was stunned: "His godhood has not been plundered by other gods?" After all, it is still a godhood and can control more power.
Chao Xi said lazily: "Who knows what they are thinking?"
It can’t be called a god, it can’t be called a human, it can’t be called a foreigner, it seems like it’s just a powerful... tool?
"Hey, hey, hey, you're going the wrong way, swim to the right!" the system suddenly said urgently.
Xi Sui'an was stunned. At this moment, she was in the belly of the manta ray transformed by Chao Xi. It was pitch black and she couldn't see her hand in front of her. She raised her hand and knocked on Chao Xi's belly: "Give me some light, I can't see."
“……”That’s a lot of requests.
Chao Xi said angrily, "I want to have a big meal later, and eat until I am satisfied!"
"Okay, okay, okay..." Xi Sui'an said perfunctorily. Before, it even ate things from the human world. It seems that Chao Xi is not picky about food. He can go to the college cafeteria and pack some meals for it.
The manta ray's body slowly became transparent, as if through a glass, and she could clearly see the waves of the tide as it swam through the red magma.
Everything you look at is red. The extreme heat makes this underground magma river full of silence and almost lifeless.
She hissed softly, where did it swim to?
The system voice was frantic: "Can you please swim in the direction I gave you! The direction of the ancient mine is on the right!"
Chao Xi wagged his tail, snorted softly, and slowly uttered two words: "No."
As he said this, he swam downward to the left.
"Oh my god, can you please know your limits? Thorin is still tracking us!"
"Oh~"
The system was almost mad at him. Xi Sui'an had a headache because of the noise. He pressed his temple and quickly stopped talking: "Hey, Chao Xi, where are you taking me?"
"Look at the changes in the color of the magma?" Chao Tide asked calmly.
"Ok?"
Hearing this, she looked carefully at the seemingly endless magma outside. Tidal's pectoral fins seemed to cut through the magma without any resistance. As she swam, she saw that the originally red magma was gradually deepening in color and becoming deeper.
"The deeper you go, the darker the color becomes?" Xi Sui'an raised his eyebrows as he looked at the lava rock wall passing by.
"That's right. The underground magma of the dwarves is just like the eye of the Yin-Yang Lake in your academy. It's a very interesting place." Chaotiao said a little excitedly.
The tide is full of energy...
"What's down there?"
"More than two thousand years ago, I heard a rumor that the underground molten pool in the Yanshan Mountain of the Dwarfs contained extremely abundant original power, which gave birth to countless natural treasures. Believe me, a trip to the Yanshan Molten Pool is definitely worth it!" Chaotide's voice became a little higher.
"Of course, the most important thing is that Flamel has been there! I want to know if he left my brain there!"
"..."
Xi Suian was silent. Yanshan Molten Pool?
The system sneered in her soul sea: "Heavenly talent and earthly treasure? Haha."
"Yanshan is a piece of land that the dwarves snatched from the dragons. The Yanshan molten pool has long been built by the dwarves into a place for training, equivalent to a small secret realm. Most of the good things have been taken away long ago. Can the real treasures stay there and wait for you for thousands of years?"
The tide wanted to show its teeth, which meant that this consciousness existed in the sea of Xi Sui'an's soul, and it was helpless, otherwise it would have been pulled out and crushed into a ball!
Xi Sui'an pondered, Dean Flamel cheated the dragon clan, stole Fafnir's dragon horn, lured the dwarves' colored diamond, snatched Tide's brain, and then patted his butt and escaped. Did he come to the molten pool under the Flaming Mountain on the way?
"Dragon horns, colored diamonds from the center of the earth, mimicking octopus brains..." Xi Sui'an frowned and muttered, "He seems to be collecting materials..."
Is it something to be refined? Could the answer be in the Yanshan Molten Pool?
"Let's go check out the molten pool!"
After swimming for nearly half an hour, they were already an unknown distance away from the original mine tunnel. The color of the magma changed from scarlet red to a deeper ochre red, and it was almost impossible to tell the difference between magma and lava out of sight.
However, what surprised Xi Sui'an was that there was life in this ochre-red magma?
She looked at the small patch of black plants covering the cliff in front of her, her eyes slightly brightening.
Black, moss-like, feather-shaped, extremely hard, like a shell.
"Sixth-level Iron Feather Black Moss? Good stuff, Tide!"
Chao Xi's eyes also glowed differently in the magma: "Wuhu~ This is the main material for the sixth-level bone-forging pill. Ask Zhong Heng to help me refine it later! I want to eat it!"
Xi Sui'an had no choice but to accept that this was also an excellent material for extracting rune liquid.
"Zhong Heng probably still can't refine the sixth-level bone-forging pill."
"It doesn't matter, I can wait!"
Chaotide's pectoral fins were very flexible. He shoveled off the piece of iron-feathered black moss along with the lava like a shovel and happily put it into his mouth.
"Put it away for me!"
"Okay, I'll give it to you." Xi Sui'an shrugged.
The system looked at the man and the mimic octopus and was speechless.
For Xi Sui'an, the most important thing is not the iron-feathered black moss, but the meaning it represents.
"Where the iron-feathered black moss grows, it indicates that there must be ice-type black spike crystals nearby!"
That was a rare alchemical ore, a treasure for making top-grade carving knives! God knows she didn't even have a carving knife of her own!
She said quickly: "Chao Xi, go under the cliff!"
"Okay!"
The tide plunged straight down in the magma, which turned from ochre to black, appearing even more lifeless.
It made a "tsk" sound, and its body began to glow, like a big light bulb in the depths of the dark magma.
Scattered iron-feathered black mosses were dragged lifelessly by the waves, and they swam deeper along the mosses. A huge cave entrance hundreds of feet long gradually appeared below, and countless red light balls floated in front of the cave entrance, which looked very strange.
“Is this… the Undying Worm?”
Xi Sui'an saw clearly what the ball of light was and recognized it quickly. It looked bigger than described in the book.
"Isn't this thing raised by the dwarves to mine mountains? Can it survive deep in the magma?"
Tide glanced at the palm-sized insect with a red glow and a round belly, and hummed, "This is the Undying King Bug. These little guys are the natives of the Isolde Mountains. The original Undying Bugs survived by gnawing on the underground lava. As for the Undying Bugs raised by the dwarves, they can't even enter the magma. You can regard them as two different species."
She blinked, this is degeneration.
The Undying King Insect that had been slowly floating at the entrance of the cave suddenly became active, and then swarmed towards the tide. Red balls of light gathered densely, as if their entire bodies were covered with barnacles. Xi Sui'an was almost suffering from claustrophobia when he saw this, and his scalp felt slightly numb.
Chao Xi was also extremely distressed: "Ahhh, why are there so many Undying Lord Insects?!"
"Chaotide, how do you feel? If not, I'll summon the Styx jellyfish!" Xi Sui'an frowned and said worriedly.
"It's okay... they're vegetarians." Chao Tide swung his tail and tilted his head with a sense of something. "They... seem to be guiding the direction?"
Xi Sui'an said decisively: "Then follow them."
