Because they already had the experience of watching Lei Hong and the others fight the black dragon, it was very easy for everyone to watch the volcano, especially since they could ride Xiao Jin on the first night.
Think about it, Xiao Jin can fly very high, and they could see very far away on the first night.
Looking eastward, they quickly discovered a large mountain with black smoke on the first night. They could faintly see red lava gurgling, and even from a distance, everyone could feel the hot fire emanating from the mountain.
All the trees around the mountain were burned to ashes, the magma has dried and solidified into stone, and is covered with volcanic ash everywhere. Occasionally, black smoke rises from some places, and the pungent smell permeates the air, making people dizzy when smelling it.
"It's really a volcano, and the scale of this volcano is not small. It's just that the eruption has come to an end, otherwise it would be even more spectacular."
Yang Xiao sighed.
Although the volcanic eruption has come to an end, everyone still feels it is quite novel. After all, in everyone's mind, volcanoes can only be seen in books. No, most of them, including Lei Hong, have watched volcanoes for the first time.
"The environment around the volcano is extremely harsh. I'm afraid there are no strange animals in a large area around it. In addition, the volcano has not stopped erupting. It will be very dangerous to get close."
Long Yuan said in a deep voice, and he looked at everyone: "It seems that we have to take a detour next."
Everyone agreed with Long Yuan's proposal. After all, this time they traveled east to hunt exotic beasts. Even if they needed to explore the volcanoes in front of them, they would naturally avoid them.
Thinking about it, even if there are many treasures in the volcano as Liu Huo said, it is not suitable to get close to mining at this time. We can only wait for the volcano to stop erupting and then cool down completely.
In this case, they would naturally avoid this volcano on the first night as they continued to explore.
"Uncle Yang, should we go to the left side of the volcano or the right side?"
Murong Xiaoxiao asked curiously, and when she said this, she sniffed and frowned slightly. It was obvious that the surrounding air was not what she liked.
Murong Xiaoxiao's awakened power was very strange and could absorb the life essence of vegetation. However, most of the surrounding trees were burned due to wildfires, and the smell of volcanic ash and sulfur was floating everywhere. This was not what she liked.
If it weren't for everyone being curious about the volcano, and it was Murong Xiaoxiao's first time seeing a volcano, she would have been unable to help but urge everyone to leave quickly.
But Yang Mo naturally saw that Murong Xiaoxiao didn't like such an environment. He chuckled and said: "You can go around from either side. Hey everyone, the area around the volcano is deserted and there is nothing strange about it. Let's hurry up. Let’s hurry up.”
It was indeed a bit novel to watch it at first, but after seeing the desolation around them, everyone lost interest. After hearing what Yang Mo said, everyone didn't say much and got ready to leave.
"Hey, something seems to be moving in the volcano."
Suddenly Liu Huo let out a soft cry, and she stretched out her slender fingers to point in the direction of the volcano, with a look of surprise on her pretty face.
"How is it possible? Although the volcanic eruption has come to an end, the temperature of the volcanic lava is so high and the smell of sulfur is everywhere. It is highly poisonous. I'm afraid no strange beasts can live in it."
Yang Xiao blurted out. Although he said this, he followed Liu Huo's gaze.
After looking at it for a moment, Yang Xiao shook his head: "It's nothing."
On the side, everyone shook their heads, and they didn't notice anything strange in the volcano.
"Did I see it wrong?"
Liu Huo murmured to herself, she was a little doubtful of her eyes.
"You must have seen it wrong."
Shen Qingdao, then she laughed: "But the temperature around the volcano is extremely high. High temperature can cause the void to distort. It is normal to misunderstand this..."
"No, it seems like something is really moving, and there are more than one."
Nangong Bingyu interrupted Shen Qing's words, her tone was unusually determined.
If Liu Huo was the only one who saw a living creature in the volcano, then it was possible that she was blinded by it, but now that Nangong Bingyu also said that she saw it, it was not as simple as a blind eye.
"Xiao Jin, did you see any living things in the volcano?"
Murong Xiaoxiao asked suddenly. After hearing her words, everyone secretly praised her for being smart.
Think about it, Xiao Jin is an iron-winged golden eagle, and its eyesight is many times better than that of humans, especially its dynamic vision that far exceeds humans. It is undoubtedly the most accurate time to ask it at this time.
Murong Xiaoxiao's answer was a few eagle calls, and she, who was quite familiar with Xiao Jin, could easily understand the meaning of its calls.
"It's a real living thing. It seems that the fire-flowing beauty is really right."
The first night he also understood the meaning of Xiao Jin's cry, and he was immediately surprised.
Although Xiao Jin is a strange beast like the Butian Divine Ao, its realm is far different from that of the Butian Divine Ao. It cannot yet use its mental power to communicate with First Night, otherwise it would be easier to know what it said.
But even if Xiao Jin couldn't use his mental power to communicate with First Night, the latter could still understand its words. At least he knew that it gave a positive answer at this time.
"Hey, there are really living things in the volcano. There are so many wonders in the world."
Yang Xiao sighed, and then he changed his tone: "But even if there are strange beasts in the volcano, we can't get close at this time, so forget it, let's go around it quickly, we still have to continue exploring."
Everyone nodded, and they had no objection to Yang Xiao's proposal.
Think about it, the volcano is very dangerous, especially the living creature Liu Huo saw was in the center of the volcano. At this time, even if everyone is sure that there is a strange beast in the volcano, they can't get close, so they might as well leave directly.
Afterwards, everyone didn't say much, and under the leadership of Yang Mo and others, they circled around the right side of the volcano and headed southwest.
"Sister Liuhuo, sister Nangong, what do the strange beasts in the volcano look like?"
Murong Xiaoxiao asked curiously.
Although asking Xiaojin confirmed that there were strange beasts in the volcano, everyone could not fully understand what it said, at least they could not determine what the strange beasts in the volcano were.
At present, apart from Xiao Jin, only Liu Huo and Nangong Bingyu have seen the strange beasts in the volcano. Murong Xiaoxiao will naturally ask them curiously.
"It looks like a butterfly, a fiery red butterfly."
Liu Huo said, but her tone was not very firm when she said this. She turned to look at Nangong Bingyu, obviously asking for her opinion.
"It's not like a butterfly, it's more like a sparrow or a dove, but it's fiery red as the fire-flowing beauty said."
Nangong Bingyu said while recalling what he had seen before.
"So the strange beasts in the volcano must be able to fly."
The first night retreated, and when he saw Nangong Bingyu and the two girls nodding, he chuckled and said: "This is interesting. It's okay that there are strange beasts that can live in the volcano, but there are actually strange beasts that can fly. I will definitely do it if I have time." To be clear, it is no accident that this is a strange beast that is not recorded in the book of strange beasts."
Although humans have discovered many kinds of strange beasts and recorded them, everyone knows that they are only a small number. There must be many unknown strange beasts on the earth.
It is important for humans to explore and discover more types of strange beasts and then figure out their specific characteristics and abilities. After all, they will inevitably deal with these strange beasts in the future, so it is necessary to figure out their abilities. Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle.
This is also why Dr. Murong attaches so much importance to studying various strange beasts.
Although he didn't pay as much attention to it as Dr. Murong did on the first night, he was still very curious about all kinds of strange beasts. Of course, if Dr. Murong wanted to study them, he would capture some if he could.
"The volcano is so dangerous. Even Uncle Lei is not confident that he can approach it safely. Brother Ye, please don't mess around."
Murong Xiaoxiao became worried.
"Don't worry, I know the severity and I won't mess around."
The first night chuckled, and then his tone changed: "But if you want to find out what the strange beasts are in the volcano, we don't have to go there ourselves..."
"Do you have any idea?"
Nangong Bingyu blurted out, and then she asked: "Tell me how to find out what the strange beast in the volcano is?"
Not only Nangong Bingyu was curious, but everyone else also looked expectant.
"It's simple. Just control some drones for close-range reconnaissance."
The first night was very casual. Seeing everyone suddenly realizing, he nodded: "Yes, drones can conduct high-altitude reconnaissance. We can watch through the terminal. Even if the drone is burned by the erupting volcano, it doesn't matter. Anyway, we have it in our hands." There are a lot of drones, and it doesn’t matter if some are damaged.”
"We can't wait until Senior Murong and the people from the institute arrive. We can just buy some more." added the first night.
"What a great idea. So what are you waiting for? Let's quickly control some drones..."
Yang Xiao blurted out, but he was interrupted just mid-sentence.
What interrupted Yang Xiao was not them on the first night, but the sudden shock around them.
Yes, the surroundings were shaking violently, as if there was an earthquake. As the shaking and hot fire filled the air, the temperature instantly increased by dozens of degrees. At this time, the surrounding temperature had exceeded 100 degrees.
Baidu high temperatures are still a great threat to ordinary humans, but on the first night they condensed energy armor as soon as the temperature rose. The armor condensed with pure energy can temporarily isolate the high temperature.
In addition, Nangong Bingyu, Xiao Bai and other monks or beasts who have awakened the ice attribute can also mobilize the ice attribute energy to flood the surroundings, which can also suppress the high temperature within a certain range.
In short, everyone can easily cope with the sudden rise in high temperature. It seems that they can stay away from this high temperature before they are exhausted.
On the first night, they could use energy armor or other means to resist the high temperature, but the surrounding trees could not. Soon the scorched trees burned, and everyone finally understood why there were no intact trees around.
Everyone looked eastward in the direction of the vibration, and then saw thick black smoke rising from the volcano in the distance. There were flames hundreds of meters below the black smoke, and there was faint red fire-like lava flowing out.
It was obvious that the volcano erupted again on a large scale, which caused tremors in the surrounding area and an increase in temperature.
"Well, I didn't expect to encounter a large-scale eruption of the volcano at this time. It seems that we will not be able to control the drone to conduct reconnaissance in a short period of time."
Yang Xiao smiled bitterly, obviously regretting that he couldn't understand what kind of strange beast was detected in the volcano.
Think about it, not to mention the flames erupting hundreds of meters high, the rising thick black smoke alone can block the drone's detection, especially when volcanic ash starts to float around, the drone can't detect much at this time.
Although they had a lot of drones in their hands on the first night, and although drones were quite cheap for them now, they couldn't let it go to waste, so they gave up the idea for the time being.
"Although drone detection cannot be used today, it will be possible one day. After all, volcanic eruptions are time-limited."
The first night he said very casually: "When the volcanic eruption stops, we can control the drone for close inspection."
Everyone nodded, and they did not dwell on this issue. Then Murong Xiaoxiao began to urge everyone to leave quickly. At this time, the harsh environment had a greater impact on her.
