Burnt red rocks, huge rock pillars standing in the flames, dark rock walls surrounding the magma, and some dark red waterfalls scattered in these dark rock walls - as the distance gets closer With the deepening of the involvement, the fiery hell that appeared in Duan Qing's eyes began to become more and more three-dimensional, and the iron-red rock blocks composed of unknown materials were constantly churning in the magma pools of different sizes. It floats from time to time and rises and falls along the direction in which these high-temperature liquids are still flowing. All kinds of beasts and monsters that have adapted to this environment, peacefully inhabiting this extinct land made of fiery red, are now emitting disturbing and terrifying screams. Some of them are huge flying dragon-type monsters. The magma brought up when the body passed below would even lift some creatures wandering in the magma into the hot air: "——Wow, are those fish? Can we fish in the magma?"
"Sir, if you can find a material that can withstand high temperatures to make a fishing rod, it is not impossible to fish here. However, the 'fish' here should be quite dangerous, so you must pay attention to safety, sir."
"Hehe, hehe, forget it, I was just saying casually... Look, there are a group of huge lizards there."
"Ninglan has noticed it too, and Ninglan thinks they have noticed us too. These flame triangle lizards have a relatively gentle temperament. As long as we don't approach their territory, they won't attack us."
The rolling sphere with an iron-like skin then suddenly passed in front of the rock where Duan Qing and Anyu Ninglan were lurking, pulling their eyes towards the other side of the dry and hard hillside, interrupting the conversation between the two. The extremely fast sphere then stopped abruptly before disappearing from the end of the field of vision. It turned into a huge rock hedgehog unfolding and roared at the other blazing dragon beast passing by here on the opposite side. No longer paying attention to the sight of the two monsters of unknown strength roaring at each other, Duan Qing, waving his hands, cautiously walked forward along the road again. The river formed by the flowing magma then followed Duan Qing and the two of them. From time to time, slashes appeared on the left and right sides of the hillside that we were moving on, cutting the rocks and cliffs around the mountain into intricate and dangerous shapes: "When will it end? If we continue to stay, I think everything will turn red."
"Ninglan also feels that the air here is very unbearable, and her breath seems to be filled with flames."
"Because of the magma giant that we accidentally attracted, we don't dare to approach any of the magma pools now. God knows what weird things will pop up there, which ones are traps prepared by creatures at the top of the food chain... …”
"Freya should be waiting for us ahead. We can only rely on her judgment for this trip. Didn't she say it before-"
"Has she ever been here?"
Following the finger that the maid player held out, Duan Qing's eyes also stayed on the figure that was floating slowly in front of the hillside. Freya, who was moving forward like a ghost, also crossed the top of the hillside. At that moment, he stopped and looked steadily at the ruins in front of him that had also become pitch black: "Found it."
"This is... a ruin?"
Following the opponent's figure, Duan Qing, who was catching up, also took the ruins into his sight: "Is it the remains of the facilities left by the ancient magic empire?"
"It's not clear yet." She shook her head. Freya, who had not said a word since leading the way, also looked a little solemn at this time: "In my memory, my sister and I were young. We have been to this area during our travels, and she seemed to be very interested in these existences at the time, but due to strength reasons, we did not go further."
"Due to strength." Duan Qing repeated the words mentioned in the other party's voice, touched his nose and let out a few wry smiles: "Is this place dangerous? Is there any problem if we go in now?"
"As you can see, the ruins you see should only account for a small part of the size of the entire ruins."
Freya, who kept looking straight ahead and folded her hands, took two steps forward again: "The remaining ruins are not elsewhere, but underground here."
"What we see is the entrance?" Duan Qing, who followed, also poked his head forward: "Do we need to go down next? How far deep do we need to go?"
"I don't know." After answering the other party's words neatly, Freya turned around with a matter-of-fact expression: "I've never been there, how do I know the answer to this kind of question?"
"Okay, then the first thing we need to solve is the high temperature." The gray-robed magician pouted and looked helpless as he gestured to the maid player behind him: "If we continue to go deeper, we must first The problem that needs to be dealt with is the high temperature. Although it will not penetrate into the deepest part of the mountain, if it encounters magma——"
"With me here, this kind of problem is not difficult to deal with." Freya frowned and interrupted Duan Qing's words, then looked at Duan Qing's face: "But I can't always I will always protect you, so..."
"Where's the stone you just got?"
She suddenly stretched out one of her hands and opened her palm as if it were natural: "Don't pretend to be stupid. You must have searched and processed the body of the magma giant."
"Do you trust the talents of our adventurers so much?" Duan Qing handed the dark red stone in his hand to the other party's hand: "But Ninglan and I have already tried it just now, and the addition is a 'blood burning' 's talent is simply a negative effect for us."
"The body composition of magma giants is different from that of us humans. They can use the energy generated by accelerating blood flow to stimulate the accelerated operation of the body." Freya seemed to be very familiar with these creatures in the land of fire. Freya spoke very fast. He replied: "Although the human body cannot adapt to this kind of talent, as long as we use appropriate methods to transform this magic stone and fine-tune the magic composition in it..."
"Okay." After closing her eyes and gesticulating on the core of the magma giant for a moment, Freya turned her hand and returned it to Duan Qing: "Since the previous transformation was successful, the current transformation should also be successful. You guys Give it a try."
"'Fire Acceleration'?"
After trying the stone on his magician disk, Duan Qing looked at the system prompts reported above and whispered: "Increase the casting speed of fire magic?"
"It is a simplified version of the original talent. Although the effect is not as powerful as the original, it can at least be used by you." Freya's expression has disappeared in the turning movement: "Try to activate this effect, and then cast what you just got. Let’s look at the fire resistance again.”
"——The fire resistance effect increased by 20%? And it also turned into a halo effect?"
After checking his own status, Duan Qing couldn't help but let out a surprised voice: "What's going on? It's just a flame acceleration. Why did the effect be changed like this?"
"This involves the characteristics of the flame element and the principle of phase. If you have time, you can study it carefully." Freya's answering voice walking in front also had a sense of contentment: "Of course, if you are willing to be me If a magic apprentice seeks instruction from me, I will not refuse."
"Isn't this Xiaoqian's special request?"
After muttering these words, Duan Qing also restrained his helplessness into the low laughter of Ninglan behind him: "I don't care about it myself. There is no end to learning and research, but I guess Wei Most likely Erlit will not agree."
"That woman who is extremely possessive... Humph." Her hand with the light of flames gently touched the ruins piled with rocks. Freya, who walked to the front of the ruins, snorted softly: "As a person, Her magic apprentice, your journey of training must be very difficult. Even dangerous things like coming here to conduct surveys have to be handled by you as an apprentice..."
"We can't let her come in person, hahahahaha." He smiled dryly and scratched his cheek, followed Duan Qing who was coming forward and made a hurried look behind him: "Ninglan, be careful."
"Let me test the signal strength first."
The roar of the magma explosion then sounded above the heads of several people. A magma waterfall not far from the ruins also splashed more fire after the loud noise. Duan Qing, who was half squatting on the ground, was struck by the fire. A serious look appeared on the clearly illuminated face at this time, and the hands pressing on the ground also showed a lavender light that represented the violet rune taking effect. The silent fluctuations then spread to the surroundings under the influence of the energy at Duan Qing's hand. The magic signal contained in it gradually synchronized with the energy signal surging in the earth's veins. The noisy sound was then synchronized with Duan Qing's signal, echoing intermittently in the gray-robed magician's ears like a malfunctioning radio: "...This is the arena for..., both sides...are ready..." "
"The first one to come on stage was Jianghu's Duan... Haha! They actually didn't use it as soon as they came up... They were so cowardly - ahem, no, they were too conservative..."
"...Remind the audience again that we have prepared a large amount of fine wine and food outside the venue, and you can enjoy it if you need it! Thank you to the Zhuangsi Tribe, Yagorun Tribe and Molan Tribe for their strong support for this warm hospitality. We will also offer... as a thank you later! May our friendship last forever!"
"Finally, please allow me to remind you again: If you who have received the broadcast want to see the real-time picture, please go to the major outlets. The Master Council has made full preparations for this full network connection. It only costs a little bit. For the ticket fee, all the players can - Oh! The battle has begun! The first to take action is the host Asahi Dongsheng!"
"It seems it has already started."
The sound of a series of artillery bullet announcements that gradually became clearer began to become more and more noisy, accompanied by a burst of harsh laughter. Duan Qing put away the hands he used to sense and test with a black line on his face. He glanced at the side beside him and listened. Ninglan noticed the code words of these sounds, and then got the same answer from the other party's eyes: "And it sounds like the sound of blooming flowers... bum."
"That person has found his job again." The maid player smiled and tilted her head: "The signal sounds very clear, which is great."
"That's because I have been adjusting the magic frequency. It was not clear at the beginning." The palms that were turning back and forth were still shining with traces of purple light. Duan Qing sighed helplessly: "The magic signal of the mainland Originally, the circulation relied on the network we built ourselves. Once the distance is too far, the guidance of the energy itself will become very difficult... No, no, no, I can't stay here forever."
"Then we can only build a transmission source here according to the previous plan." Encrypted Ninglan tilted her head and replied: "At least it can provide enough energy to transmit what we want to send back."
"I knew this job wouldn't be easy."
Duan Qing sighed heavily, stood up, clapped his hands and walked forward: "And it's still in a place with such harsh conditions... I hope the materials I prepared can withstand the high temperature here."
"Is the discussion over?" Waiting in the ruins ahead with her arms folded, Freya stopped checking her eyes and movements as Duan Qing arrived: "Have you decided to leave?"
"We plan to place an 'eye' here. The location must be as close to the core of the earth as possible." Duan Qing touched his nose and replied: "Of course, if we can find the location of the Spring of Elements, everything else will be fine. manage."
"The spring of fire element is not something that can be easily controlled, not to mention that the ancient devices left here have been worn out." Freya shook her head: "Even if Violet visits in person, you It won’t be as smooth as dealing with the Fountain of Wind Element.”
"If you just arrange a node, there shouldn't be any problem." Duan Qing smiled and asked: "Maybe you have a way to provide us with a little technical support?"
"This is not written in the contract between you and me." Looking at Duan Qing's face with squinting eyes, Freya took the lead to walk towards the stone steps shown in the center of the ruins in front: "And I don't know you and your The rune magic system created by my mentor.”
"This is very simple!"
Duan Qing, who once again caught up with the other party, approached and persuaded in a low voice: "Even a magician with low talent like me can learn it, and a great magician like you can definitely learn it too. "
"...Since you are still a young magician, I will remind you this time." Freya replied without looking back: "Every magician's magic system and magic skills will involve his own origin. and safety, this knowledge should not be given lightly to others.”
"When have Violet and I been so stingy?" Duan Qing still did not give up on his gradual temptation: "And haven't you always wanted to learn magical knowledge related to the void? This set of violet runes is definitely suitable. you."
"Believe me."
He blinked at the secret voice Ninglan behind him, then patted his chest and assured the great magician who stopped.
