This is a precursor to an undersea volcanic eruption!
The moment he confirmed this fact, Nelson felt a sense of absurdity.
What's going on? Why are there underwater volcanoes here? When Sapphire Port was first established, several archmages worked together to explore the surrounding environment for hundreds of miles. They determined that there was no danger here unless a once-in-a-century typhoon caused huge waves, which would threaten the port.
If there really is a volcano here, it is impossible for the several archmages not to have discovered it. Although the effectiveness of magic has become weaker and weaker over time, Nelson knows that detection magic is not affected by the density of elements. No, that means no.
From this point of view, there is only one possibility - this submarine volcano only appeared recently.
Could it be... He turned his head slightly to look at the huge volcanic dragon beside him, but soon, Nelson had no time to think about other things.
Because a shocking scene happened.
In the forests and cities, countless animals ran out in groups. Horses were wild, birds were chirping and flying. Even rats that lived deep in the cracks of houses surged out together with their kind and ran towards the outside of the city. .
In the distance, there are many smart people in Sapphire Port. They can see that this is a precursor to a volcanic eruption, so many people drive magic cars, dragging their luggage, and run quickly towards the distance with this group of animals. Looking down from a high position, densely packed figures emerged from the city, as if they were a black wave that was spreading rapidly.
This armored convoy was originally hesitating whether to advance or retreat. Now it can only prepare to turn. If it is caught up by the crowd, it may not be able to leave.
But just as the convoy turned and the old elf professor looked back into the distance with some worry, a dull vibration sounded from the depths of the earth.
boom---
The low and violent tremors made everyone stop and steady their steps and bodies, while a fear originating from the deepest part of their hearts also surged out of everyone's instincts.
In the distant sea, the originally churning black water turned golden red in an instant, as if a sun appeared under the water. Without giving anyone time to react, it suddenly erupted with a loud noise far greater than thunder. In the atmosphere, streams of hot lava burst out from the underground core. Due to being blocked by the deep sea water, the lava and volcanic ash did not spread on a large scale. There was only a heavy fog that spread across the entire sea area for a moment, and... it was difficult to An imaginary wave.
On the horizon, a white line appeared. This white line was like a city wall. It was extremely tall, carrying a momentum that could destroy the world. Sky-shattering waves tens to hundreds of meters high were like a ring, centered on the volcanic eruption point. Spread in all directions.
The sound of the ocean tide shook the world, and all the elves on the coast had distorted expressions. Many of the elves who had not run far had given up on escaping. They stood there, despairing or helplessly watching the overwhelming ocean tide move towards them. Pounce on yourself.
"Run! Run! Don't stop, don't think about helping these civilians!"
Professor Nelson was so frightened that his feet became weak and his lips turned white, but he still loudly directed the entire convoy to move forward at full speed. He gritted his teeth and said in pain: "There is no time, none of us can save us, hurry up Run away! I will bear the consequences. If you want to go to court-martial, I will take it!"
The convoy did not hesitate. As professional soldiers, they naturally knew that they had the obligation to rescue civilians. But now they were half a hill away from the nearest crowd, and it was completely impossible to help them. What's more, under the huge waves, there was no one. Anyone can guarantee that he or she will survive.
However, there were still two armored vehicles that did not retreat with the large troops. Two calm voices came from the communication device: "I'm sorry, I think I still have to try."
"We are soldiers to help and protect the people."
After briefly speaking, they turned off the communication device, and the two armored vehicles quickly turned and drove towards the people who were desperately fleeing.
The tsunami will not stop for this scene. It rolls and engulfs everything along the way. Islands, merchant ships, rocks, everything is destroyed by this terrifying natural disaster. The white water vapor caused by the volcanic eruption has covered the sky, leaving The light seemed blurry, and amidst the terrifying noise, Nelson spoke loudly to Hei. He wanted the volcanic dragon to run away quickly and not stay here.
But Hei was silent. It stared into the distance, as if it could see behind the huge waves. There was a huge spout at the bottom of the deepest part of the sea, in which countless magma spewed out. When it came into contact with the sea water, At the same time, it caused the sea to boil and condensed into rocks. However, due to the huge amount of spewing, the stone pillars formed by the accumulation of rocks became taller and larger, and even formed a mountain peak on the seabed.
Then, it turned back decisively.
This was not a situation that it could stop at the moment. It silently retreated along with the convoy. Although the half-dragon beast was unwilling to do so, there was nothing it could do.
If it comes earlier, it can stabilize the magma before the volcano erupts, delay the volcanic eruption, or even put it into dormancy. The elves in the world of Ilgna did not have the wrong name. As the incarnation of the submarine volcano, the Black Refining Dragon This descendant of the ancient dragon is indeed the Dragon of the Volcano. But the volcano has erupted, which is a natural disaster that no one can stop. Even the dragon can only retreat.
Just after the convoy evacuated, huge waves tens of meters high had hit the Sapphire Harbor hard. With violent roars and noises, the entire city was torn apart like fragile paper models, with buildings, giant ships and all man-made objects falling apart. Everything was vulnerable to this tens of millions of tons of waves. In just a moment, the city was completely destroyed.
And what followed was the loss of hundreds of thousands, hundreds of thousands of lives in Sapphire Harbor.
One of the two armored vehicles used to rescue people was completely engulfed by the aftermath of the huge wave because it could not retreat in time, while the other was only soaked by the waves and was not swept away.
Of the people fleeing in the other direction, only the earliest group escaped to the distant hilly slopes, while the rest were swallowed up by the sea the moment they closed their eyes. The shocked survivors were in no hurry because they had not had time to escape. Friends or relatives cried, and the volcano in the distance began a new round of eruption.
Along with this eruption, ten huge rings of light appeared in the sky, which was originally obscured by fog, dark clouds and volcanic ash.
Between the thunder and lightning, a huge ring of light measured in kilometers rotated back and forth in the sky, operating like a huge magic circle. As it rotated, countless red light spots appeared in the sky. In the center of the sky, the fire brought by these light spots dyed half of the sky red, and even the dark clouds could not cover it. Another eruption of the submarine volcano caused a golden-red fire to appear on the sea surface. The two contrasted with each other, as if half the world was covered. It became hell.
Professor Nelson's expression froze when he noticed this scene. He raised his head silently, raised his hand, and pointed tremblingly at the falling meteorite. Although this old man was mentally tough, he could even fight naturally with a giant beast more than ten meters tall. conversation, but this scene still broke his inner defense.
"Stone... Demon!"
A voice like gnashing teeth came out of his mouth: "Every time, every time it's like this! These damn monsters!"
Just like the old man said.
Since three years ago, natural disasters have occurred frequently on the Ilgona continent where the Gulf Federation is located. Unexplained heavy rains, snowstorms, droughts and tornadoes have occurred everywhere. Coastal cities are often hit by typhoons, and earthquakes and mountain collapses occur in mountainous areas from time to time. , under the test of these events, the eruption of Sigma Volcano is just a trivial matter, and the Federation has already been prepared to deal with it.
But in contrast, almost every time a natural disaster breaks out, there will be traces of stone demons near the occurrence of natural disasters. If it could be regarded as an accident before, then after the eruption of Sigma volcano, the stone demon army appeared in Babel Province And meteorites that appear after submarine volcanoes erupt can effectively prove this point.
These monsters, like magic puppets, without blood or tears, are absolutely inseparable from natural disasters! Maybe the sudden appearance of underwater volcanoes is their fault!
"Professor! Get back in the car!"
A soldier came out of the other armored vehicle. He said to Nelson anxiously: "I just communicated urgently. According to the prediction of the research institute, the place where the stone demon will come is right in front of our path! Near the capital of Babel Province The army is preparing to set off, and we must also prepare accordingly!"
"what to prepare?"
The old man didn't react for a moment.
"Of course it's to hold back those damn monsters!"
In reply, the soldier showed a vicious expression: "Then kill them all!"
School started recently... I'm really busy, I'm sorry... And the past few days have been big chapters, two chapters together, so I haven't saved the manuscript yet...
The plot is also reaching its climax, so you need to be prepared... Forget it, it was indeed my fault for not updating it anyway, there is still another chapter.
