Chapter 1237:
After dealing with the monster that reappeared in the secret passage, Ronald and Lilu continued to move forward.
This walk was longer than the previous dive.
After walking several kilometers and dealing with these monsters many times, they noticed that the curvature of the 'ground' began to rise upwards.
Lilu, whose reconnaissance range is far inferior to Ronald's, immediately asked:
"Ronald, do you feel anything?"
Ronald immediately answered the mermaid's confusion:
"The road in front of us will go up until we reach a volcano tube. If the location is about the same thickness, it will be considered as reaching the destination."
At such a long distance, even Ronald's perception ability cannot capture the situation there.
Thanks to the strengthening effect of [Infinite Negative Field] on spells.
Only with the help of his multiple spells could he detect the magic power fluctuations there.
After another long time passed, Ronald and Lilu finally arrived at their destination.
That's right here.
The secret of the lava monster's birth is revealed to them.
In this spacious enough tunnel, unknown forces gathered the lava in the center, quickly forming a red, high-temperature core. When this core reaches a certain level, it will actively break away from its original position, and then automatically absorb the surrounding lava, thus evolving into a completely different monster.
Sensing the changes ahead, Lilu asked Ronald directly:
"Ronald, are we going to destroy this place? To prevent these monsters from continuing to appear?"
"I'm afraid not." Ronald shook his head in denial, "The entire lava In the lake, this is the only place where magic fluctuations exist. If we want to keep up with Catalina and the others, we must first understand the situation here."
Ronald's idea is simple -
although these lava monsters are dangerous, they are definitely not Catalina opponent.
Since Katarina entered the lava lake first, she can definitely solve this problem when she comes here.
Now that this thing has remained in place, it has not been damaged.
It could only be that this thing that gave birth to monsters had some reason why it couldn't be destroyed.
Ronald expressed his thoughts, and Lilu agreed.
So the two casually destroyed the newly born lava core, and then approached it, ready to study the secrets of this place.
At the entrance of this tunnel-shaped location, lava flowed steadily in a whirlpool-like trajectory, and the magic power fluctuations that Ronald noticed were surrounding the surrounding walls.
Lilu, who is more sensitive to the flow of lava, naturally chooses to study on the swirling magma; while Ronald, who can sense magic more accurately, naturally studies on the surrounding walls.
——The situation here is very unique.
Under Ronald's observation, the magic fluctuations here were not hidden too deeply, but were embedded on the inside of the surrounding walls, at a depth that would not be directly burned by the lava.
And the details of these magic powers...
there are no runes, no special details, just pure magic flow.
However, even if the structure is so simple, their existence itself seems to contain some information to support the changes they cause in the lava here.
"..."
Ronald was at a loss, so he simply cast a spell to target the detection target of [Original Sin of Greed].
——Name: Energy-Gathering Tunnel Magic Ring
——Function: Condensate and shape the fire element, tearing apart the isolation between space boundaries.
——Status: Stably condenses fire elemental creatures, supports [micro/small-sized creatures] to cross the boundary cableway, and is expected to support medium-sized creatures to cross in twelve days.
"..."
This is the convenience of the spell.
Things that might have required Ronald to study hard, and that might not even yield results, were now clearly in front of him.
clarified this information.
Ronald also swam directly to the place where the lava core was condensed.
He didn't know the operating principle of this kind of channel, but to say that this location plays the transmission function, it must be in the center - after all, the fire elements that support this function are gathering there!
"Ronald, there seems to be something different in the center of this vortex."
Ronald approached upwards. Lilu, who was studying the flow of lava, noticed it and explained her findings in advance:
"According to the normal vortex law, the center of the vortex is Lava should not be stable in this state. In addition to condensing these lava cores, it must have other functions!" He
is indeed an 'explorer'...
After hearing Lilu's discovery, Ronald couldn't help but sigh. .
She relied on the convenience of magic to discover the secrets here, but Lilu made her judgment purely based on the accumulation of knowledge. In such a comparison, respect is inevitable.
So, Ronald also said:
"Lilu, what I found is similar to yours."
"In addition to condensing lava creatures, this place also has the ability to teleport across borders, but now it can only support micro and small creatures. Passed."
While speaking, Ronald and Lilu reunited.
Although the two of them couldn't see each other's expressions, they tacitly noticed one thing - the next journey would definitely be completely different from the previous one!
In this tacit understanding, Ronald waved his hand and smashed it to form a rudimentary lava core, then swam toward the center of the whirlpool with Lilu.
"..."
When I came here in person, I found that the center of the lava was surprisingly quiet.
You can't hear the subtle friction caused by the flow here, and there is no sound caused by the condensation of the lava core. Under the injection of circulating magic power, it seems to be separated from the surroundings into two completely different worlds.
Ronald subconsciously did not break the quiet atmosphere.
But the mermaid next to her obviously had no such idea. Lilu suddenly asked:
"Ronald, I have a question."
"Since this is the place where teleportation takes place, why hasn't the lava core been teleported away?" "
... ..."
Ronald didn't expect Lilu to speak at this time. He was stunned for a moment, and then he guessed:
"I think it may be because the lava core is a product of this transmission system. ?"
"Just like it won't transport away the material that maintains the magic circle itself, the lava core lava will naturally be exempted from being..." "Well!" "We want to go in
!
"
Li Lu and Ronald exclaimed at the same time.
Because just when Ronald was explaining seriously, they suddenly felt their bodies leaning forward.
Then there was the moment when the body was out of control.
The unchanging orange-red color of the lava in front of them finally faded from their sight, and their keen perception also improved a lot after the environmental change.
——Beside the two of them.
——Darkness and sporadic light came at the same time.
Being in a new environment, the mermaid Lilu couldn't help but ask first:
"Is this... a secret realm?"
