Greem was awakened by a loud noise.
At this moment, the outside of the cave is full of boiling water, and even the rock python in charge of guarding sticks out more than half of its body to attack something fiercely, but blocks the entrance of the cave with its thick tail.
When Greem packed up everything and stepped out of the cave, the battle outside was coming to an end.
Inside the not-so-large cave lay the remnants of 7 lava dogs lying in disorder, and red semi-molten magma flowed all over the ground. For these lava dogs, the rock is their body, and the molten magma is their blood.
Now that so much blood has flowed, the chances of them surviving are slim!
Where did so many lava dogs come from? Could it be that the small fire erosion cave that he occupies is their lair
A series of questions floated up in Greem's mind, but they were quickly rejected one by one.
When choosing a place to live yesterday, Greem also put a lot of thought into it, almost avoiding the activity areas of most flame creatures. Under such circumstances, how could they be attacked by lava dogs? Moreover, what I have set for the rock python is a defensive counterattack, and it will only counterattack when it is attacked. This also means that these lava dogs are actively attacking!
The more he thought about it, the more Greem frowned. He always felt that this might not be an accident, but...
Sure enough, after a quick search of the chip, Greem found the ability to summon and mobilize flame creatures in the relevant description of the molten core giant.
Just when he had just made up his mind, noisy dog barks came from several related lava passages. Listening to the sound, there are a large number of lava dogs rushing here quickly.
Damn it, the enemy is coming! I just don't know if there are molten core giants.
Greem didn't care about thinking too much, turned around and jumped into the rock python's open mouth, driving it to quickly drill towards the passage leading to the upper layer of the volcano. No matter where the enemies come from, the farther away from the sea of lava that the Molten Giants call home, the better!
The rock python swayed its bulky body, and forced its way into a rather narrow lava channel. The stone scales protruding from its body scratched the rock wall with sparks, and the broken stones flew. Just after the whole body got into the tunnel, the only remaining snake tail of the rock python struck vigorously. In an instant, the entrance of the lava channel collapsed, and the falling rocks and rubble quickly blocked the entrance of the cave.
At this time, more than a dozen lava dogs rushed out from several nearby passages, just blocked from the passage of falling rocks and tumbling. The irritable and irritable lava dog immediately roared loudly, and while struggling to dig the way out, it issued a warning to its master in the distance.
After a while, three molten core giants, one big, two small, came to the scene with heavy steps. No way, their size is too huge, and ordinary small lava channels can't be squeezed through. In many cases, they can only walk in large passages eroded by underground lava. As for the enemies hiding in narrow places, they can only force them out with the help of flame creatures.
Seeing the collapsed passage in front of them, they instantly understood.
Driven by the shouts of the adult molten core giant Alek, the remaining dozen lava dogs gave up their plan to dig a way forward, turned around and pounced on several nearby lava passages that were still in good condition, preparing to pass through the circuitous route to intercept the enemy.
Alek turned around and ordered to the two little guys in the clan: "There is only one enemy, and he is still a human apprentice, so it is not dangerous. You go and tell Aluge that there is no need to mobilize the crowd, I just go after it myself."
After finishing speaking, it turned around and walked towards the tightly blocked passage. As it strode forward, an astonishingly hot and terrifying flame spewed out of its body, and in front of it, the originally rock-solid pile of rocks instantly softened and melted, and then turned into magma flowing all over the ground.
With almost no hindrance, Alek carved out a human-shaped passage, allowing him to continue running forward with great strides. But behind it, there is a melting road that outsiders cannot gain a foothold.
However, at this moment, Greem had escaped 5 miles away.
However, in this underground world with twists and turns and twists and turns, it is said that they ran 5 miles, but the straight-line distance may not be more than four or five hundred meters. Moreover, the concentration of the fire element in the rock here is extremely high. If the rock python wants to travel directly in the stratum like a dark crypt, the energy of the earth element it needs to consume is simply astonishing.
Therefore, Greem would not be willing to consume the rock python's energy until it was at a critical moment.
This pursuit battle that didn't meet each other ended after only half an hour, and it was the molten core giant who voluntarily gave up. It seems that there is a clear end line in their hearts. Once the enemy escapes this range, they will no longer take the risk of going out to pursue it.
Sensing the gradually receding strong fire source behind him, Greem let out a long breath. He dared to assert that it must be a wizard-level adult molten core giant. Once he encountered such a big guy, even if he sent out all the puppet squads, he could only end in a dismal end.
Lacking a big man of the earth system who can fight head-on against the opponent, and lacking an elemental golem that can play freely in the volcanic environment, it seems that his golem squad is still very far away from becoming an army.
In addition, it can be seen that the molten core giants are very fond of the little guys in the clan. The two quasi-witch-level little guys that Greem sensed from a distance did not participate in the pursuit of him, and they rarely acted alone, which undoubtedly increased the difficulty of capturing them.
After all, with Greem's current strength, he can't even think about wizard-level adult molten core giants. Only these quasi-witch-level little guys still have some hope!
Greem, who was driven out of the core area of the lava sea, could only wander around in the upper area idly, waiting for his body to slowly recover, and exploring a new path to the lava sea. After all, this gigantic volcano has been eroded by years of underground lava, creating thousands of cobweb-like lava passages, and the end of almost any road will lead to that wonderful and mysterious lava world, so the molten core giant wants to It is almost impossible to block the approach of outsiders by blocking.
With the right timing, Greem sneaked into the lava sea once again when his body had just adjusted and returned to its optimum condition. This time he soaked in it for twice as long as last time, and the progress he made was even more gratifying.
The transformation progress of the body in flames has soared from 23% to 37%, and Greem's body has been ravaged once again, with 1/7 of the flesh and blood in his body eliminated. However, the soaring physique has pushed a new Flesh regenerates quickly.
His body is like a factory that has been knocked down and rebuilt repeatedly, and the delicate balance created by each regeneration of flesh and blood will be broken as the fire talent is strengthened. Then everything was pushed down again, and new body organs and flesh and blood were slowly resurrected to match the latest body in flames.
And just in this constant repetition, those changes that fit his fire-bathed physique were preserved, while the temporary and unsuitable changes were placed in new permutations and combinations.
Originally, Greem intended to let the chip intervene in this kind of body restructuring, but after a small experiment, he had to give up. Due to personal vision and structure, it is impossible for the chip to leap and predict to leave appropriate evolutionary space for future fire talent enhancement. And these, the body's instincts can do it inconceivably in the haze and chaos.
Even many subtle organ changes made under the guidance of the body's instincts have been judged to be invalid and redundant by the chip. But after two or three rounds of body changes, Greem was surprised to find that the part that was previously judged to be invalid and redundant had seamlessly become the cornerstone of the latest change.
Greem wouldn't be surprised if such discoveries were made occasionally. But such a discovery, along with the comprehensive monitoring of the body by the chip, turned out to be the spark that started a prairie fire, and similar examples can be found in almost every part of the body transformation.
So far, Greem had no choice but to give up the chip's meddling indiscriminately and let the body's instincts drive all of this, while the chip retreated to be a comprehensive monitor, recording the whole process of changes with detailed and accurate data.
The more comprehensive he saw and the deeper he thought, Greem also had a better understanding of the word "world will" that always appeared in the mouth of wizards in the past.
The world Greem is in at this moment is just a large plane in the huge multiverse, and such a vast, boundless and resource-rich world is just a grain of sand in the depths of the vast sea of stars.
If the earth and the earth universe in the previous life were a low-magic world, then the wizard plane and multiverse in this life are a high-magic world. Endless tides of energy fill every void in this world.
Under the influence of such abundant energy tides, mysticism itself has become a terrifying force. Any world, any plane, any individual can inspire terrifying power far beyond the scope of one's own ability. And all of this can be summarized in the powerful category of mysticism!
In the previous life on the earth, if someone said that the earth will also give birth to consciousness, and thus have its own will, this is simply a joke that makes people laugh out loud! Because the volume of the earth is too large, it is far from enough to rely on its own material and energy to support such an individual to give birth to a personal will.
Therefore, in a low-magic world, it is almost impossible for a planet to give birth to consciousness!
But... But what Greem is in at the moment is a high magic world, where great energy tides are everywhere, soaking almost every inch of space here. And this also provides a solid foundation for the self-awareness of the birth of the planet. Of course, in the multiverse, there are no planets, only planes!
The floating continents wrapped in the barriers of the planes are soaked in endless energy every moment. They use their vast bodies to carry countless mud and sand, trees and forests, mountains, seas, lakes, metal deposits, and even myriads of land. Thousands of creatures of various races. Whether it is an ordinary stone, or a top wizard standing on the pinnacle of the world, they are all part of this plane.
Countless substances, billions of creatures of all kinds, plus endless energy tides, all of these provide a solid foundation for the birth of group consciousness. Perhaps the initial form of world consciousness is group consciousness, which is the great fusion and hodgepodge of its own countless living individuals and basic substances. But when the plane became more and more powerful with the passage of time, a hazy and illusory plane consciousness was born invisibly.
