Age of Adepts

Chapter 131: Lava Battleship

Only catastrophe can bring people real growth!

The edge of the lava sea, which is full of endless fire, can bring Greem more than just the gathering of fire energy. The fire affinity talent is like a fish in water here, allowing him to feel the progress of his body in fire every moment.

If it weren't for the real-time data sent back from the chip in the back of his mind constantly refreshing the progress of the body in flames, Greem probably couldn't bear this kind of pain like being boiled by fire and chose to quit.

Since the Body on Fire stopped progressing in the Dark Crypt Crimson World last time, this time under the impact of more violent fire energy, the body on Fire has been stuck at 17% progress all the way, making him always in pain. And happy with the state!

18%…

19%…

20%…

The strengthening of the fire talent also led to the self-evolution of the fleshy body. Some body organs and flesh and blood tissues that did not fit the fire talent were roasted into coke and incinerated into ashes under the turbulent fire energy. And new body parts are quickly regenerated under the support of powerful energy, replacing the old organs.

This process was originally chaotic and disorderly, basically relying on the body's instincts to proceed spontaneously. But now with the chip's fine-tuning and body control, Greem has been able to overcome the intense physical pain and focus more on the balance between the influx of fire energy and the regeneration speed of local flesh and blood in his body.

The double evolution of spirit and body is good, but it also needs to master an appropriate speed. Without a strong physique, ordinary apprentices simply cannot withstand such violent body transformation. Therefore, after only soaking in the lava sea for 2 quarters of an hour, the progress of Body Bathed in Fire soared from 17% to 23%, and Greem had no choice but to back out grinning.

When he climbed to the top of the rubble-stacked cliff, hot semi-molten magma flowed down from his body, scorching the volcanic rock under his feet. After the magma tumbled, an ugly black and red body was revealed.

What was black was the body skin that had been turned into charcoal, and it began to peel off and fly away in the terrifying high-temperature flames. The red ones are regenerated flesh and blood. The red flesh and blood tissue is exposed to high temperature and heat, but it obviously has higher fire resistance and adaptability than before.

Although the previous physical body was also a part of Greem, it obviously didn't fully fit the fire energy. Now, after being infused with abundant fire energy and combined with his own powerful flesh and blood regeneration ability, he has formed a body that best suits his natural ability.

But such a body transformation cannot be accomplished overnight!

Greem's physique is still too weak, and the one-time transformation is too fierce, which can easily cause the whole body to lose balance and disintegrate, so he just tastes it and stops. As soon as the chip detected that the physical body had reached the limit, it issued a danger alarm to him, and he immediately stopped the cultivation of the body in flames.

At this moment, his body looked a little thinner than before, but even more powerful. However, compared with the glory on the surface, the body organs and skeletal tendons in his body are already covered with large and small cracks and hidden wounds. Before repairing these physical injuries, he must temporarily stop this overly wild body transformation.

Pausing on the shore for a while, Greem put on his clothes after he got used to his body again, and without looking back, he re-drilled into the densely packed lava channels on the rock wall.

Half an hour away from the lava sea, Greem found a semi-enclosed fire-corroded cave, and after a simple modification inside, he turned it into his temporary camp. I'm afraid that during this period of time, he will have to stay here day and night, quietly waiting for his body to recover.

A rock python was released, and it blocked the only entrance with its thick body. In this way, you don't have to worry about being attacked by the enemy when you sleep. Anyway, the rock python is originally a body of rock, so as long as it shrinks its body and lowers the frequency of its consciousness fluctuations, it is still very deceptive to pretend to be a rock wall.

In a depression in the center of the cave, Greem took out a pile of flint as fuel, and began to cook the magic meal by himself. It was also the flesh and blood of a fire-type monster, and after simply grilling it, Greem was hungry and stuffed it.

It has to be said that with the improvement of physique and strength, he has also included some flesh and blood of monsters that were too tough and sour in the past. Although every time he finished eating and drinking, his cheeks would be sore for a long time. But sensing the soothing energy slowly released from his body, he felt that all these sufferings were worth it!

After eating the mana set meal and gulping down a gallon of clean water, Greem lay down on the blanket contentedly and fell into a deep sleep. This time, he didn't meditate. The broken body can no longer bear any more changes, only pure sleep with no worries is what he needs most now!

How could he, who was immersed in a sound sleep, know that an accident related to him was happening in the sea of lava at this moment.

At an unknown time of the day, an extremely weird warship floated over the lava sea.

The reason why it is called weird is that this warship was transformed from a floating rocky island. The rough and rough rocky hull looks tattered, without sails, and some tall figures can be vaguely seen on it.

These are a group of tall stone men who resemble stone puppets, and their entire bodies are made of extremely hard granite. There are many huge cracks on the thick body as high as 4 meters, and the hot and high-temperature flames in the body spread out from these gaps, forming clusters of terrifying flames of different colors on the surface of its body.

The body protection flame of the mature body is golden, while the juvenile body is bright red.

They have humanoid bodies and limbs, as well as uneven heads. However, their eyes, ears, mouth and nose are not as regular and flat as humans, but more like a mess of stone lumps.

The positions of the eyes are two deeply sunken holes, and the light of the magic gemstone can be vaguely seen inside. The nose and ears are directly black honeycombs, while the mouth is a crack across the face. If they are all opened, it is not a problem to swallow a wild boar in one gulp.

The mysterious battleship moved nimbly through the viscous magma, avoiding those relatively large floating islands. As for the smaller rocks, they were smashed and crushed without avoiding it, leaving them to become residues floating on the sea of lava.

From time to time, the tall giant on the ship leaned down and extended his fan-like hands into the magma with terrifyingly high temperature, picking up magical gemstones or metal ores with special elemental rhythms.

For these guardians cruising the sea of lava, not everything can be seen by them. Every thing they pick up, they will hold it up in front of their eyes and appreciate it carefully, and only those that are in good condition will be thrown into the cabin casually. There, the entire bottom of the huge battleship has been covered with a thick layer of spoils.

As for those ordinary magical gemstones or metal ores, the tall giant threw them back into the lava sea, allowing them to finally melt into a part of the vast lava ocean.

The lava sea is like a super huge furnace, which has deposited all the scum and waste to the bottom, and lifted the most beautiful treasures to the surface of the sea, waiting for them, the children of the sea of fire, to appear.

As the son of the sea of fire who lived in the volcanic world all his life, the molten core giant is the natural ruler of this world. They not only have strong individual strength, but also have extremely high intelligence and a relatively complex social structure.

There are 7 molten core giants on this lava battleship, including 2 wizards and 5 quasi-sorcerers. This also means that the basic configuration of a lava battleship is 2 mature bodies and 5 juvenile bodies.

The lair of the entire molten core giant is on a circular island reef at the core of the lava sea, and in order to avoid the invasion of human wizards, they also organized four or five patrol teams to cruise in this magma sea all day long.

Usually when the volcano is in the eruption period, their life will be a little more stable and peaceful. But once the volcano enters a period of rest, as the water level of the lava sea continues to drop, many passages leading to their lairs will be exposed. Whenever this is the time, it is often the time when human wizards send minions deep into the volcanic world.

The many flame creatures in the periphery are the cannon fodder that the molten core giant deliberately drove out to block the path of the wizard apprentices. But many times, there will still be some terrible human beings who break into their homes, steal their hard-earned top food (extreme fire diamonds), and kill their immature larvae.

Therefore, every time the volcano rests, it is often a dangerous time for the molten core giants to be nervous and increase their inspection efforts.

This time, when the lava battleship was slowly moving along the edge of the lava sea, a tall molten core giant standing on the bow and sniffing lightly roared loudly.

"Stop the boat... Stop the boat... I smell humans! Stop the boat and check!"

With the efforts of many molten core giants, the lava warship stopped near a pile of rocks on the shore.

jump jump jump…

Several heavy and tall bodies jumped directly to the shore, and began to quickly search for the scent traces and other clues left by humans.

Soon, the place where Greem went into the sea and the place where he hid his clothes were found out.

"Aluge, it seems that humans have broken into our world again! What should we do?" A young molten core giant asked in a low voice.

One of the two adult molten core giants rubbed its chin with its giant cattail fan, with a thoughtful look on its face, and finally said decisively: "Send someone to report to the elder first, let him clap some more hands. We will leave three , to find the whereabouts of that human. Since he was able to break through the blockade of the fire beast in such a short time, he must be a guy with a plan, we can't let him wander in our world!"

Another adult molten core giant interjected: "Then let me take the two little guys! Those human wizards have not invaded the lava sea for many years, and this time it is most likely an apprentice wizard. I can handle such a team !"

After the giant captain named Aluge agreed, the molten core giant raised his flaming hands and softly shouted: "In the name of the great lava lord, my servants, wake up!"

As it roared loudly, the heat wave in the lava sea not far away was churning, and twenty or thirty vigorous lava dogs came out of it and swarmed in front of it.

"Go, my servant, find that damned human for me!"

Hearing the order from the son of the sea of fire, these lava dogs raised their necks and roared sharply, rushing into the intricate lava channels one after another.

Just outside of Greem's perception, a big hunt for him has already begun!
