Ever since they discovered the existence of objects that looked like ruins underground, Roy and Bainiya had been paying attention to everything as they moved forward.
Fortunately, Roy discovered that the direction Dahei was heading seemed to be the direction of the ruins, because more and more man-made traces appeared along the way.
The scope of this possible demon ruin seems to be very huge. Since the discovery of the first man-made trace, Dahei has drilled down for about 20 kilometers, but has not really touched the core of the ruins.
The further you go down, the fewer the worm tunnels dug by the demon worms. In the end, almost only the path drilled by Dahei is left. Roy guessed that Dahei might have hit the ground by mistake in the first place. It found this ruins, and it touched something there, and it mutated, so that in the end only it was able to touch this ruins, and the rest of the demon worms lost that ability.
Fortunately, when I first met Dahei, I didn't kill him because he was too ugly. Otherwise, I'm afraid he would never have discovered the secret deep underground.
I don’t know how long it took, but Dahei’s rumbling squirming finally stopped. It finally stopped in a huge underground cavity. The area here is not large. Above it is a curved cavity dome. A large number of crystal-like fiery red stalactites hang down, which may be lava crystals formed due to the high pressure underground. The ground below is uneven, and there are also large and small crystal clusters growing. The entire cavity is not dark, but exudes fiery red. The light, and the only source of this light, is a flowing underground magma river!
This magma river is only partially exposed in this cavity area, which is only about 200 meters long. The source and downstream are both in the center of the earth. It is unknown where it comes from and where it goes.
After Dahei stopped in the cavity, it slowly wriggled to the edge of the magma river. There was a muffled sound in its body, indicating that Roy and Bainiya were there.
Roy jumped off Dahei's head and stood on the edge of the lava river. He looked around in confusion for a while. He was a little confused as to why Dahei would stop here. This was obviously not the site of the ruins.
However, Bainiya reacted and said: "It seems to mean that it often comes here to eat..."
"Eating!?" Roy looked at the lava river in surprise: "Isn't it here to drink lava?"
"I don't know, wait and see how it does it!" Bainiya was also a little unsure.
So in desperation, Roy had no choice but to wait with Bainiya and observe Dahei's movements. It turned out that Dahei had been wriggling its body idly. There was still a long part of its huge body outside the cavity. It squirmed slowly, retracting its body into the cavity little by little.
Just when Roy and Bainiya were a little confused about what this guy wanted to do, suddenly, Dahei seemed to smell something, and his originally slow-moving body suddenly accelerated, and its winch With its big mouth open, the snake straightened its head and stared at the river.
Roy and Bainiya were also attracted by its movements and turned their attention to the river.
Not long after, the two suddenly saw a long gray-white thing appear in the magma. This thing was slowly washed out by the magma from the hole in front where the magma flowed out.
This long gray-white object was about one and a half meters long. It felt like a baguette. When it was brought out with the magma, it kept rolling up and down in the magma.
Plop, tap, there was a sound. Roy looked up and saw a large amount of green saliva flowing out of Dahei's mouth. The saliva seemed to be highly acidic, and it made a sizzling sound after dripping on the ground. , and eroded the ground into large pits.
"That thing is Dahei's food?" Roy understood immediately.
When the long object was rushed to the middle of the magma river, Dahei suddenly thrust his head, ignoring the hot magma, grabbed the thing in one mouthful, and then raised his head, trying to swallow it.
But at this moment, Roy moved, spread his wings, flew up, and kicked Dahei on the head, kicking out what Dahei was about to swallow.
After being kicked by Roy, Dahei made a muffled sound in aggrievedness, but then shrank back in fear.
Roy ignored him, reached out to catch what Dahei spit out, and brought it to the ground.
This thing, how should I put it, felt hard as soon as I got it, as hard as a rock, and the height could reach Roy's waist. It was quite big. Bainiya stepped forward curiously and talked to Roy. Observe together.
Roy held this thing with his hand and felt it carefully.
"It's strange. Although this thing has magic power, it's so weak. If Dahei mutated after eating it, it doesn't seem to make sense!" Roy said.
"It doesn't look like ore, this seems to be a fossil of something..." Bainiya pointed at the long stick and said: "Look at it, there are very regular fine stripes on it, it doesn't look like a natural product."
Roy looked where Bainiya pointed and found that it was indeed the case.
Before the two of them could figure out anything, there was another commotion on the other side of Dahei. Roy and Bainiya realized something and looked up towards the river. Sure enough, after a while, they were washed away by the magma again. An identical long strip-shaped object appeared.
This time there was no need for Dahei to do anything. Bainiya flew over and fished out the thing from the magma. Then she put the two objects together and compared them. It turned out that the two long strips had slight differences in size. Apart from the differences, they are all very similar in other places, with fine lines and the same stone texture.
"Ah!" Bainiya suddenly thought of something, opened her mouth and exclaimed: "This thing, can't be... can't be an insect egg!?"
"Insect eggs!?" Roy was also shocked by Bainiya's guess: "What the hell!? Are there such big insect eggs?"
"Of course it's possible!" Bainiya nodded: "Don't forget, if according to previous speculation, there once was an insect-type demon lord here, its insect eggs might be this big!"
Indeed, Bainiya's statement convinced Roy that if he was really an insect-shaped demon lord, it might be possible.
"So, this place really had an owner a long time ago!" Roy pinched the insect egg-like thing and said: "But it seems that the time span is too long, it has become a fossil..."
"At least tens of thousands of years, or even longer!" Bainiya nodded and said: "The good news is that the previous owner of this place may have been dead for such a long time, and we don't need to fight over the territory."
"Can you tell what kind of insect eggs they are?" Roy asked Bainiya.
Bainiya shook her head: "How can you tell? But looking at the size of the insect eggs, the demon lord is probably very huge. Generally speaking, the size of the insect-shaped demon will be dozens of the eggs it lays." Double the size.”
"Another big guy several hundred meters tall..." Roy was a little speechless and said, "Since these insect eggs were brought out by the magma, it means that the upper reaches of the magma is the location of the insect-shaped demon lord, at least where he is. The location of the eggs that were laid! I don’t know how many offspring that guy gave birth to. You know, Dahei has been here devouring the fossilized eggs for I don’t know how many years..."
"Not an heir!" Bainiya shook her head and said: "Even if he is an insect-shaped demon, he is a real demon, not an insect! If he really wants to give birth to an heir, he will lay eggs of demons, not insect eggs. !”
"Then these insect eggs [567 Chinese]..." Roy was a little confused.
"It's a soldier! Or something similar to a clone!" Bainiya said: "I have fought against some insect-shaped demons. Although these insect-shaped demons have low intelligence, they often form an army alone. They will lead an army." Attacking with a large number of insects similar to them, this is their unique attack method. Generally speaking, the insect eggs they lay can be quickly hatched by magic power, and if the insect-type demon is willing to split soul fragments to these insects, The bugs will be strengthened.”
After Bainiya said this, Roy also remembered that the spider demon Alaniya was like this back then. The little spiders she carried with her were probably hatched from her eggs.
It's just... Roy looked at the insect eggs in his hand. These eggs were much larger than Alanya's original spider eggs...
"Let's go in and take a look to see what kind of insect-shaped demon it is!" Roy called to Bainiya and jumped on top of Dahei's head.
However, what the two did not expect was that when they wanted to direct Dahei to continue drilling into the rock wall where the magma was flowing out, they found that Dahei was unwilling and acted very fearful and frightened!
Bainiya tried to communicate with it for a while, but Dahei remained unmoved. Even if Roy exuded his aura to make it surrender, although it was equally afraid and fearful, it was still unwilling to move forward.
"I'm afraid that the possible insect-shaped demon lord is much more powerful than me!" Roy thought, "Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain Dahei's fear."
"What should we do? Do we still want to move forward?" Bainiya asked.
"Of course, even if the insect-shaped demon lord is stronger than me, he should be dead. There is nothing to worry about!" Roy said: "Dahei is just a monster. If it doesn't want to move forward, then don't force it. , let it stay here and we move on.”
Although without Dahei's digging ability, Roy and the others can pass through the magma river. Although the temperature of the magma is very high, it is not a big problem for Roy and Bainiya.
Instead of using frost to fight the magma, Roy chose the lumen flame. He attached the lumen flame to his whole body, hugged Bainiya with one hand, stretched forward with the other hand, and split a path forward in the magma. go.
However, as he walked forward, and he didn't know if it was an illusion, Roy felt that his whole body began to become tense, and gradually became a bit creepy, as if there was some dangerous and ferocious threat waiting for him ahead. Same.
Compared with him, Bainiya was even more unbearable. She hugged Roy tightly, trembling all over.
"No... it's not good, my dear!" Bainiya said tremblingly: "It seems... it seems that there is more than just a demon lord..."
