Chapter 659: Things at the Bottom of the Lava Lake

After his companions retreated, Gordon began to adjust his breathing, suppressing his own breath little by little.

He couldn't make himself as invisible as a stone like Hilda, who was equipped with the [Black Spot] armor, but at least he couldn't be as "conspicuous" as a humanoid comet dragon.

After getting ready, Gordon took out a portable telescope and observed the direction of the lava lake. After confirming that there was no abnormality in his sight, he walked out from behind the ruins where he was hiding.

He walked towards the lava lake, but did not dare to go too close. Instead, he kept a distance of at least 20 meters from the golden lake surface composed of viscous lava.

In this way, if an accident occurs, he at least has a basic reaction time.

Gordon searched along the edge of the lake. Hayata Pork Chop and the others did not leave too far. They followed from a distance of about one or two hundred meters away, where the ground temperature was barely acceptable.

Time passed like this, and nearly two hours passed. Gordon had circled the lava lake for a whole circle, but still found nothing.

If it weren't for the fact that the creatures in the lava canyon area had completely disappeared, which was really disturbing, and the fact that the magma in the lava lake in front of him was abnormally active, he would not have wanted to stay in this ghost place for so long.

The temperature at the lava lake was too high.

Even with the protection of the dragon energy activity of [He Yao] and repeated cold drinks to cool down, after two hours, his feet still had countless blisters.

We have to retreat.

Gordon, who returned to his previous position, no longer hesitated, and retreated away from the lava lake to meet up with his companions.

"Senior Gordon, did you find anything?"

Gordon took the recovery medicine handed by Hayata and drank it all in one gulp to relieve the burns. He shook his head, "I can only see that the magma is very active and keeps surging, but I didn't find too many other abnormalities."

Speaking of this, Gordon paused, "It can't be said that there was no discovery at all. I noticed that there were signs of collapse on the shore of a lake. Because the ground was slightly melted, there was no "hard evidence" such as footprints.

But I guess that there may be a big guy who sneaked into the lava lake from that place."

Pork Chop repeatedly stroked his almost completely curled beard, "I don't know whether to say it's good luck or bad luck."

"Let's retreat first and report the current situation to the guild. There are not many cold drinks left, and it's barely enough for the return trip." Hayata suggested.

"This is the only way." Gordon nodded, "Get ready to leave, don't let your guard down."

"Woo woof!" Liefeng suddenly barked.

It was not a warning growl, but a bark similar to speaking.

It nudged Pork Chop's bag with its nose, making a grunting sound.

Gordon and Hayata didn't understand what Liefeng meant, but Pork Chop, who played with it all day, guessed it roughly.

"You want me to use explosive bombs to see if it will work?"

"Woof!"

Gordon pinched his chin, "Although it sounds a bit crazy, it seems to be a solution."

".Isn't it too risky?" Hayata obviously didn't agree with this plan, "If there is really some kind of terrible creature dormant under the magma, we will rashly wake it up and anger it.

By then, it is likely that we will not be the only ones facing its anger."

"In fact, we can try to find a way to both alarm it and not anger it." Gordon looked around and had some plans in mind.

"What does Gordon want to do with the meow?" Pork Chop asked curiously.

"It's definitely not okay to throw bombs directly. Realizing that it's under attack, any monster will get angry, and the guy under the magma is certainly no exception.

But what if it finds that the movement is 'natural'?"

"Natural?"

"For example, rocks collapse and hit the lava lake, right?"

"Boom boom--"

A series of low and muffled sounds, a huge rock several meters square and weighing tens of tons collapsed from the top of a cliff by the lava lake.

This is the result of Gordon and his team working hard for half a day under the leadership of Pig Chop.

Find a suitable cliff, find the weak point of the rock, drill holes, disassemble the bomb to distribute explosives, place explosives, and pull the fuse.

If it weren't for Pig Chop, Gordon and his team would not know how to blow the stone down even if they had bombs in their hands, and they would probably only be able to detonate the bomb and listen to the noise.

Pig Chop used up all the explosives and fuses he carried, and they retreated far enough away while the fuse burned.

Two people, a cat and a dog, lying down and hiding behind a ruin, used a telescope to observe the movement on the lava lake.

Unlike water, the specific gravity and viscosity of magma are very high.

The boulder fell on the lava lake, but it did not sink immediately like falling into the water, but slowly sank into it, and a large amount of rock steam with amazing temperature burst out, and the sound it made was completely different from what Gordon and his friends imagined.

But anyway, the movement was big enough, and I don’t know if it can really scare out some big guys.

The hunters waited quietly, and Pork Chop hugged Liefeng’s mouth to prevent this guy from making an inopportune "woof" and causing a catastrophe.

Three seconds, five seconds, ten seconds

The boulder gradually melted and became part of the magma.

Twenty seconds, thirty seconds.

There was still no follow-up movement, as if nothing happened.

Hayata glanced at Gordon, who stared at the lava lake through the telescope, without moving, and did not speak in response.

Hayata also calmed down and observed quietly.

A few dozen seconds passed, and the already restless lava lake suddenly surged violently.

The lake surface began to rise, and the huge back covered with thorns and sharp shells, like an obsidian island, floated from the place where the boulder fell.

The thousands of degrees of magma slid down the shiny black shell like ordinary water, unable to stain it, let alone hurt it.

Then appeared in the hunters' sight, two huge fangs soaring into the sky, and the hideous head that was quite similar to the boom dragon, but much larger.

The ice-blue vertical pupils that were not quite in line with its dark shell scanned the surroundings coldly.

Gordon quickly pressed down the heads of Hayata and Pork Chop, ignoring the burning temperature of the ground, and completely crouched down, carefully avoiding the cold sight.

He had seen the part of the monster's body exposed on the surface of the magma. From the width of the huge jaw and the shape of the fangs, he could be sure that this guy was the culprit who was seriously injured and drove away the armored dragon.

No wings, a beast dragon?

No, the body structure is completely different. It is much thicker than the Tyrannosaurus, and it doesn't look like a flying dragon. The body shape is completely different from any monster he has ever seen.

The brain was frantically warning, and his intuition told him that this guy's strength was not inferior to those ancient dragons that were like mobile disasters. Perhaps, it was also one of them?

"Hide."

Gordon squeezed out the word in a very low voice from between his teeth.

Hayata Pork Chop held his breath, and even the fierce wind that Ansel usually complained about as "courage growing outside the stomach" also hugged his head and tightened his neck.

"Hiss--"

That was the whistling sound of the air flow when a large amount of air was sucked away.

Pork Chop looked at Gordon nervously. The monster was obviously preparing for some kind of attack.

Gordon still lay motionless on the ground, holding the necks of Pork Chop and Hayata with both hands to prevent them from getting up suddenly and being exposed.

They were far enough away and hiding behind the ruins, so they could not be seen. The strong sulfur smell in the volcanic area prevented the possibility of smell exposure. Without making any sound, they would not be discovered because of this.

Gordon firmly believed that the monster had not discovered them. If they did not keep calm at this time, they would become the monster's target.

"Boom--!!!"

What kind of loud noise was that?

Was it a roar or a breath? Was the sound sharp or low? No one could tell.

Countless wind blade-like turbulence and the terrifying sound waves swept everything around, scraping on the hunters' protective gear, making a "sizzling" noise like a knife.

And this was just the aftermath.

When everything returned to calm, the sound of magma surges came from the direction of the lava lake. The giant beast seemed to have returned to the bottom of the lava lake, but the hunters still did not dare to move.

He just lay there for several minutes, until he could no longer bear the heat, and then he carefully climbed up.

The dark beast had disappeared.

The cliff where the huge rocks were blown off by the lava lake had completely disappeared, replaced by a huge gully nearly 100 meters long.

The golden red magma poured back into it, forming a straight magma river.
