The Death List Novel - Chapter 626
Chapter 626 Lava Ball
“Two isn’t enough, is it?” Hill said happily as he looked at the dozen or so dragon flies charging at him.
The harmfulness of social magical beasts, especially low-grade creatures, depended entirely on their numbers.
In ancient times, Before Fairlier Elves arrived in Ferren Continent, The most powerful creatures on the continent were the descendants of the ancient dragons and titans. However, at that time, Ferren’s ruling race was not all demigod-level beasts, but countless lizardmen. They were also the first intelligent race civilizations to appear in Ferren Continent.
However, this civilization was quite primitive. Not to mention the Elves civilization, even if it was inferior to the goblin civilization that appeared in the flash of a pan, it would still be inferior. Lizardmen were able to rule most of Ferren Continent at that time because of their numbers.
Of course, low-level creatures like dragonflies couldn’t be compared to lizardmen. They didn’t even produce human-like intelligence. However, the combat strength of the dragon flies was not something that the lizard man could compare to.
Even though the crowd didn’t care about these ten or so dragon flies, if this number broke through to three digits, Qin Lun and the others would have no choice but to flee into the wilderness. This number of dragon flies produced an extremely wide range of innate abilities, and their power would also increase exponentially. Lan De’s standing on the spot was probably enough, he simply couldn’t use his skill easily.
“That should be enough!” Hearing Hill’s question, Rand only turned around and smiled. He raised his hand and threw the lava ball floating in front of him.
The speed of the lava ball was neither fast nor slow, and it was about the same as an ordinary person throwing a basketball. The dragon flies that were pouncing towards the crowd dodged dexterously. However, just as the lava ball reached their center, it suddenly exploded with a “pa” sound.
Unlike a mage’s fireball technique, the explosive power of the lava ball was not great, but it emitted a lot of sparks. However, these sparks were too small, almost like mosquitoes. Of course, they were mosquitoes of normal size.
Standing at the side, Mustacha frowned slightly and quietly raised her longbow again. She wasn’t optimistic that Rand would be able to deal with these dragon flies easily, but now she was sure of this idea.
Every harpsichord master was a knowledgeable adventurer. She knew that most swamp creatures had strong fire resistance. According to common sense, this spark landed on the dragon flies, and even their feathered wings could not be burned off.
But this time, Mastasia was wrong. It was precisely because the sparks projected from the lava ball were too weak that their numbers would naturally be relatively large, completely covering the space in front of them. They were like a giant spider web that enveloped every incoming dragonfly head-on.
This time, no matter how clever the dragon flies were, they would inevitably splatter some sparks. The sparks that landed on the dragon flies were almost inconspicuous compared to the half-meter-long bodies of these magical beasts. Just like when an ordinary person passed by the welding site, they would not care about the sparks that splashed on them.
But in the next moment, every spark that landed on the dragon fly seemed to fall into a room filled with gas and exploded into a huge fireball. Even the dragon flies that had been splashed to a few dots were suddenly engulfed by the fierce flames and screamed miserably.
The stubborn dragon flies flew about in the air. As time passed, the colors of the flames on their bodies slowly changed. From orange at the beginning to orange yellow, they turned pale white in the end. This meant that the temperature of the flames had reached more than 4,000 degrees Celsius.
The dragon flies that splashed the most sparks quickly descended from the sky and didn’t stop burning until they turned into ashes. Two or three less splashed dragonflies were smarter and pounced straight at the lake.
However, the cold lake water did not save them, and the fireballs landing on the water reacted even more intensely, as if water had been poured into boiling fuel, disintegrating the dragonflies on the spot.
Their wreckage was covered in a large expanse of water. However, this wasn’t the end. The lake water seemed to have become the fuel behind these scattered fireballs. The fire spread strangely on the surface of the water. In the end, a sea of fire appeared in front of everyone!
Seeing this scene, other than Qin Lun and Hill, who had been mentally prepared, the others widened their eyes and looked at all of this in disbelief. It wasn’t that they hadn’t witnessed high-level magic, but they swore that they had never seen such a strange transformation fireball before.
“Excluding high-tech synthetic compounds, high-temperature lava from the planet’s core is a natural existence second only to the surface temperature of stars. Seabed ~ volcanic eruptions cause lava to form surface-hardened lava balls under the action of seawater, but even at the bottom of the ocean, the high temperatures within them will remain for months.”
‘”Now you know why I chose the Lava Fuhrer profession instead of the Fire Fighter profession,” Rand said with a smile on the guild channel.
“Fire element skills don’t have fireworks effects, do they?” Hill gave a rare humor.
“But lava doesn’t have such a burning property, does it?” Qin Lun looked at the sea of fire on the surface of the water and asked doubtfully.
“No, lava has this property. As long as the temperature is high enough, flames can use any element as fuel. You know, water can also be decomposed into hydrogen and oxygen.”
Rand shook his head and smiled. “Back when I was a firefighter, I caught an arsonist. That kid’s homemade compound can use almost everything as a flame retardant and fuel. The secret is that the compound is volatile and can erupt at extremely high temperatures in an instant.”
“Hurry up and leave. It will be too late for the dragon flies to pour out their nests.” After a pause, Rick had just arrived.
The remaining dragon flies that had surrounded him had cleverly retreated after seeing what had just happened. They believed that they had returned to the nest to call for reinforcements.
Masta Xia looked at Rand with a complicated gaze and led the group forward again. Winnie, who was supported by her, had stabilized her mood and silently followed behind everyone. However, all along the way, Rick lowered his head and remained silent. Even when he spoke to her, he seemed powerless. He didn’t know what kind of illusion he had seen in the eyes of the Water Binding Spirit just now.
After a short period of danger, no one encountered any more trouble along the way. Mastasia’s attention was very focused this time, leading everyone to find another empty place to rest in the evening.
After climbing up a temporary banyan tree, Rand suddenly said in a mysterious voice on the guild channel, “Guys, look what I got.”
Qin Lun and Hill looked at the pictures of the items displayed on the guild channel and were instantly shocked. After killing the dragon flies, Rand had actually obtained an Apostle Item from the Starry Sky Reward.
Dragonfly Summoning Card (Consumables): This is a bright gold quality disposable appliance. After using the card, seven Tier 3 Summoning Dragonflies and one Tier 4 Dragonfly Commander will be obtained. The summoned creature lasted for ten minutes and did not possess low-level intelligence. It could only attack instinctively under the control of its owner’s consciousness.
“Why didn’t you take it out just now? If we had known this, we should have set up an ambush to take out that dragon fly nest in batches.” Hill asked in surprise, “The power of seven or eight dragon flies can’t form much of an innate domain. If we had a few more, we would have an extra trump card!”
“You’re too greedy. This should be because the starry sky lacks information on swamp creatures like dragon flies. The reward given to Rand in particular won’t fall so easily.” Qin Lun said calmly and hit the nail on the head.
“Mm, Qin Lun is right. I did receive an additional level of exploration. This is a biological exploration level reward given in advance by the starry sky.” Rand smiled and removed the information from the guild channel.
Actually, Rand still had something to say. Even though he had casually thrown two lava balls and easily eliminated those dragon flies, everyone was shocked.
In fact, this powerful magma ball skill consumed a lot of energy. The precise explosion of Mars required him to use his psychic power to control it. No matter how strong the lava ball was, it had to be supported by the apostle’s energy, and he could only use it a few times.
If Qin Lun and Hill hadn’t clearly wanted to see his progress just now, he would have been able to kill the dragon flies, but he wouldn’t have used such a lava skill.
The next morning, everyone prepared to set off again. However, Qin Lun had found the Highland Elves at this time.
“Masta Xia, I haven’t asked you for the past few days. I believe you will find a suitable time to tell us what clues you found at the target location.” Qin Lun looked at the harpsichord master and said seriously, “However, now that we have gone deep into the Land of Death, everyone is trustworthy. I think you should say it clearly.”
Masta Xia looked at Qin Lun and found that he had no intention of backing down. Finally, she sighed.
“Ferrari, the people you’re looking for, including Elizabeth …” Mastasia took a deep breath and muttered, “According to my judgement, they might not be in the Death Swamp anymore.”
“What?!” Qin Lun’s pupils constricted. From the moment he saw Elves, he knew that she could only trust a portion of what she said. There must be some secrets that he hadn’t told her.
However, he was so anxious to find Easten that he had no choice but to endure it. He didn’t expect that the secret that Mastasia had concealed would be this!
“Don’t make a move yet. Listen to me!” Masta Xia looked at Qin Lun who was slowly revealing a brilliant smile and smiled bitterly.
After spending a few days together, she finally understood Qin Lun’s personality. This Prince Elves of Theopia did not look like a Elves at all. Although he had never seen him lose his temper before, it was not necessarily a good thing when he revealed a sunny smile.
“I did hide something from you, but it didn’t affect the rescue of Elistine and the others. It was about another matter, a huge secret buried deep in the heart of the Land of Death.” Said Mustacha solemnly.
“In my eyes, Elistine is more important than secrets. You have no idea what I gave up in this world to save that little idiot!” Qin Lun’s pupils flashed with a violent red light, causing Elves, who was standing on the other side of the mountain, to be shocked.
“Ferrari, calm down!” Hill and Rand suddenly appeared on both sides of Qin Lun’s shoulders.
“Sorry, my companion has been a little irritable lately, but I hope you can give him a reasonable answer as soon as possible.” Hill said politely, his white teeth sparkling. “Otherwise, I wouldn’t want to fight him for you. Trust me, you wouldn’t want to see him like that.”
