Chapter 2354 Miscalculation
The archipelago, as the name suggests, is a collection of isolated islands that are very close to each other. When viewed from the sky, they look like a huge turtle shell, with countless criss-crossing lines and undulating ravines.
Although the main purpose of this trip is to visit Antun, the Flame Devourer, who lives in the largest active volcano in the west of the archipelago, but since we are already here, I think it is better to set foot on the island first and read about the archipelago. The customs and customs are forgotten. There are no people living on the islands. There are only pleasant scenery, crabs and lobsters, and seagulls walking on the beach, eating crabs and shells.
It has to be said that walking is a good relaxing activity when you are mentally stressed.
During those few days of confrontation with the old Duke, I really felt a little powerless.
In order to seize the right opportunity to leave, I had to mobilize all the forces interspersed in Dashai City, analyze the current situation of Dashai City, make deployments, and adjust strategies.
When I got the confirmation that the orc high priest was going to secretly marry my future successor, I became even more nervous. While secretly passing on the news, I replaced Jin Siqi and others while looking for opportunities, trying to avoid alerting the snake. , extradite them back to Moonlight City.
This step was carried out extremely carefully, and I was even prepared for the worst.
After receiving the news that Jin Siqi and others had boarded the magic airship safely, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and at the same time, I relaxed my heartstrings that had been tense for several days.
So when I stopped on the island, facing the blue sky and white clouds, the vast sea, wild gulls and petrels, my whole mood was erratic.
It was an almost trance-like feeling, a feeling of just getting out of a tight state, gradually returning to the original state, and letting oneself go.
Wandering on the beach, I picked up a crab and threw it into the sea. I finally climbed out of the sand and basked in the sun and buried the shells back in the sand. I spread my legs and ran and yelled, throwing the shells that had just landed on the ground. The resting seagulls were frightened and flew back into the air.
I spent nearly half a day doing these boring and childish things.
When I returned to the airship, lying on the soft bed, thinking about everything I did today, I found that everything I did, and even every movement, was clearly imprinted in my mind. At the same time, my tense mood all the time , also gradually relieved.
He took a deep breath, stretched his waist, talked to Fenghuang and the others once, and went to bed early.
This state lasted for three days. It was not until the morning of the fourth day that I signaled the veteran driver to drive the airship to the island with the largest active volcano.
After the airship landed, I told them to stay put and take off immediately if there was a crisis to save their lives first while I was thinking about rescuing me.
The old driver said with a serious face: "Young master, with good luck and good fortune, everything will be fine."
"I'd like to lend you some good words." I smiled and held my hand, carrying a simple luggage package. I touched my pocket again to make sure that the scales of Tyrannosaurus King Bakar were still behind me, and then I quickly ran towards the volcano.
This active volcano that is constantly steaming is more than two or three times larger than the famous Mount Fuji on the blue planet.
The trees at the foot of the mountain are lush and green, and the wild grasses and fragrant flowers are competing for beauty. But the further you go up the mountain, the more you can feel a strange and choking smell, sometimes mixed with a few stinking smells.
That is the chemical smell left after the volcanic eruption. This smell cannot evaporate for a long time in this specific environment.
Oh, damn, I forgot my gas mask.
I pinched my nose for a while and tried to breathe through my mouth. After breathing for a while, I found that my throat felt very uncomfortable. It was probably because I was not used to chemical gases. I had no choice but to wet my handkerchief with a water bag, cover my mouth with the handkerchief, and slowly Head towards the crater.
This road was not easy to walk. First I sank into the soft soil and stepped on ashes. Then I was blocked by a narrow lava flow. Fortunately, I jumped far and successfully jumped over. However, Dragon Scale With a chirp, I fell into the lava flow. I was so shocked that I almost screamed.
The cloth bag that wrapped the dragon scales caught fire in an instant. It was burned so completely that not even ashes were left. Fortunately, the dragon scales were fireproof and resistant to high temperatures, so they did not die with the cloth bag in the rolling lava.
I tried to reach it with my hands, but found that my hands were too short, so I had to lie on the edge, but the temperature at the edge was not low. It would be difficult to cook me, but it would be easy and enjoyable to set my clothes on fire. , I didn’t come here to seek excitement, and I didn’t want to run back naked - there were lesbians on the airship, so I had to use a knife to fish them out.
Just when I was considering whether to use Xi Lan's demon sword or the Odachi sword to reach it, the scales actually moved and dived along the lava flow.
This scares me. You can't fall into what I'm thinking. If you do, your promise to Tyrannosaurus King Bakar will be ruined. You can't stand without trust. I don't want to break my promise on such a trivial matter. to allies.
In desperation, I subconsciously reached out to reach for it.
As you can imagine, the result was that the hand was burned extremely painfully. Fortunately, it was not burned or reddened, and the gauntlet did not melt. There was only volcanic ash stuck to the gauntlet. It took me a long time to beat it hard before it was finally clean.
When I hit the road again, my image was not as fresh and clean as before. My whole body was covered with volcanic ash, and the ash stood out like a native.
The closer you get to the crater, the higher the temperature.
There are still more than a hundred steps away from the top of the mountain, and I can already feel that the surrounding temperature is at least ten degrees higher than at the bottom of the mountain.
This is not a good sign. It is already so hot more than a hundred steps away from the destination. So how hot must it be to reach the top of the mountain and stand on the edge of the crater?
I am not a scholar in this field and have not studied this thing deeply, but I know that the temperature must be very high and ridiculously high.
After walking another fifty steps, we were only fifty steps away from the crater. At this time, the temperature had suddenly risen to an unbearable level. I untied the water bag and drank some saliva. I found that the water was hot. I couldn't help but smile to myself: What I need to bring is orange juice. Now I can have warm, sour and sweet orange juice to drink.
After I smiled bitterly, I suddenly remembered something. I remember Akahavi said that people from their organization were stationed at the foot of the mountain. However, during this trip, I didn’t find a single person, not even a temporary building. , could it be said that they have all moved away?
Or are they actually hiding in the dark, silently observing my group?
Thinking of this, I suddenly felt a sense of insecurity in my heart. Will the magic airship be attacked by them? Will veteran drivers and other staff be attacked?
Damn, I should have thought of all this ahead of time!
When I thought of this, I felt so anxious that I turned around and planned to run to the foot of the mountain.
Just at this moment, the ground shook, and along with a rumbling sound, a huge pressure came towards me without any warning.
