Chapter 428 Guessing the hidden danger correctly
"What you just said...is that you have noticed it too?" "
This thing is not that hard to see at the bottom of the sea."
"Just kill this thing directly. Do you think it's underground? Will things explode directly?"
"If I weren't worried about this, I wouldn't have warned you."
As if waiting for the dust in the underground space to disperse, Ronald and Herbes stood on a relatively flat surface. Conversations were going on on the ground.
He spoke slowly between questions and answers.
But anyone can hear how nervous they are now.
The problem that should have been solved quickly is now in a very passive situation.
Whether it's Halbers or Ronald.
When it comes to dealing with this strange underground plant, they can definitely complete such a task alone.
After all, this is a plant without self-awareness.
After mastering the general rules of action, no matter how hard a person puts in effort, he or she will not be able to do anything about it.
But the actual problem is that there is a crater hidden under this plant, and it is most likely the source of energy for its survival.
If you pull out this plant rashly...
and there is no response, that's okay. But if the underground volcano erupts directly under external stimulation, that is definitely not a problem that normal people would consider or be willing to face.
So after Ronald and Halbers finished communicating their opinions.
Miss Mermaid, who is more familiar with similar environments, chose to investigate the situation to confirm the specific situation the two were facing now.
Keep a certain distance from the strange flowers.
She gently swept away a patch of ground with her fingers, and then Herbes began to draw runes on the ground with her fingers. She didn't see any extra material, and almost transparent water stains appeared where her fingertips swept.
While carrying out his actions, Herbes asked Ronald at the same time:
"Wuling people, did you just guess based on the smell of this thing?"
"The pungent smell of sulfur is only part of it." Ronald nodded and admitted. Halbers' guess also added to the source of his previous doubts, "When we came up from below, didn't we pass through a section of the wall where the material on the wall was thick and bright?" "That kind of thing is usually magma
. The traces that will be left after the flow has passed. At that time, I had some relevant guesses." "
..."
Hearing Ronald's answer, Halbes' fingers that drew the runes paused slightly.
"Wuling people, your society actually conducts research on volcanoes?"
Ronald did not want to answer this question hastily.
The mermaid in front of him could take out a flashlight from his pocket, and what it meant was enough to make him think deeply. Now that the other party was interested in research on volcanoes, he certainly didn't want to give up the opportunity to delve into this topic.
So after thinking carefully for a few seconds, Ronald replied in a serious tone:
"The existence of volcanoes is not only related to the environment we live in, but may even determine the origin of life. Any civilization that sets its sights far away , everyone should have the most basic understanding and research on it."
"..."
This time, Haerbeis was silent for an unprecedentedly long time.
It wasn't until the runes on the ground were completely carved that she stood up and took a serious look at Ronald.
"In that case, let's continue on this path." "
Compared to wizards studying spells, the study of the nature of the laws of things is more suitable for the progress of a civilization." After saying this,
Miss Mermaid patted her tail. ground.
A not so amazing amount of magic power entered the runes on the ground with the movement, and then the entire runes instantly melted into the ground and disappeared in front of the two people in the blink of an eye.
This detection spell does not take too much time.
In less than ten breaths, Herbes confirmed the situation under the ground, and then explained with a solemn face:
"Wuling people, the situation is just as we thought. This guy occupies the position of the crater, and forms a gap with the bottom. A delicate state of balance, if it is pulled out now, the volcano that is ready to explode will definitely erupt immediately."
After receiving such a result, Ronald's eyes visibly darkened.
Driven by a sense of luck in his heart, he continued to ask Halbes a question:
"What is the size of the volcano below?"
Miss Mermaid seemed to have misunderstood the tension on Ronald's face, so she answered in an almost comforting tone:
"Don't worry, this is not the kind of super volcano that will affect the entire planet's biosphere after an eruption. Something of that level cannot be suppressed by just a plant." After first denying the
worst result, Halbers continued to add Get up:
"But even so, the volcano is still a volcano. If it is allowed to erupt normally, the creatures in the surrounding areas of this island will undoubtedly face a disaster." "..." A very difficult
situation
. .
Ronald himself is confident that he can use magic to avoid the dangers caused by volcanic eruptions.
But what about everyone else on the island?
Heloise, Claudia, and all the magicians in Springs, how many of these people can guarantee their own safety in the face of a natural disaster like a volcano?
Ronald was able to protect himself, but he had absolutely no confidence in rescuing his other companions on the island.
The monstrous flower in front of you may not have self-awareness or intelligence.
But using its own characteristics, it has reached extreme choices that are difficult to handle.
If you destroy it, you will be responsible for the consequences of the volcanic eruption;
if you don't destroy it, the ferocious typhoon will continue to rage, and sooner or later the damage will reach a level that is unbearable for people.
"Wuling people, why don't you be cruel and take action? With your spellcasting skills, it's no problem to escape from a volcano of this level."
Halbes spoke again.
She once again misunderstood what Ronald was thinking now, and analyzed the matter with a relatively simple idea.
Miss Mermaid’s advice was harmless but absolutely impossible to adopt.
A wry smile appeared on Ronald's face.
"If possible, I would like to deal with the problem so simply." "
But the actual situation now is that my companions are still on the island above my head, and I can't ignore their escape..." "
Huh?"
Suddenly, Ronald raised his eyebrows.
Because at this moment, Claudia's communication appeared in his mind.
I don’t know whether it was the damage to the monster flower itself that caused the shielding to fail, or whether it was the result of the destruction of the underground space. In short, Ronald heard the urgent call from Claudia.
"Modeste, you and Mr. Connor also come to the center of the island together."
"There are too many of these monsters, and it is really difficult to deal with them!"
"Don't wait for us, you go down to the ruins first!"
in the communication , is the urgent and nervous voice of his companions.
Perhaps compared to Ronald in the underground space...
the people above the island are the ones in the most difficult situation now.
