Chapter 384 Going deep into the volcano



"Hey, Beichen, this way, this way!"

Provence waved his hands and called to Beichen who was still looking around in the sky.

"I thought you were inside the volcano and didn't notice this side."

Beichen landed smoothly next to Provence and Tianhuo and said.

"Miss Eyjafala's latest data has also been transmitted. Let's act quickly."

Tianhuo said while cleaning the rubble blocking the road next to the cave. Facing Beichen, her tone was not so irritable. It would be better to say that there was a trace of fear.

"There is such a big cave on top of the volcano. Do you think that if the volcano really erupts, will the magma also spurt out from this cave? Just like an anti-aircraft gun, it will hit the target with a bang and hit Siesta City hard. Come on hard."

The three of them continued to go deeper from the entrance of the cave. Beichen said while looking around.

"According to our investigation of the geological conditions, this cave is connected to the crater, and there are many weak areas in between, which means..."

Provence opened his mouth to explain, but was interrupted by Beichen.

"I know this. Not only does the volcano erupt, this thing can even be used as a large mortar. Gee, this is really unlucky."

"Stop chatting! What I mean is...it should be quick now. The real destination is deep in this cave. There is still a long way to go, and I can feel the temperature. It’s rising again.”

Tianhuo said.

"Thanks for the reminder, what now?"

Beichen snapped his fingers, and two transparent shields covered the two of them, successfully blocking out the high temperature.

He wouldn't say that he forgot about this and didn't put shields on the two of them from the beginning.

"Huh, it's a lot cooler. When I was in the laboratory, I never dreamed that one day I would go deep into the depths of a volcano while on vacation."

The pace of the few people gradually accelerated. The narrow passage did not allow Beichen to take the two of them and fly in directly, so they could only walk a little faster.

"So, how come volcanic eruptions can be prevented?"

Beichen asked. He didn't think he could successfully prevent the volcano from erupting as long as he solved Pompeii.

"Well, let me think about how to explain it."

Because Beichen didn't know anything about volcanoes and source stones, the two of them organized their language a little.

"This is the conclusion that Provence and I came to after exploring the interior of the volcano before and communicating with Eyjafjallajara remotely. There shouldn't be any mistakes."

"When it comes to principles, we must first start with the ecology of the Origin Stone Worms here. However, it is not accurate to call them ordinary Origin Stone Worms. Perhaps it is more appropriate to call them volcanic Origin Stone Worms or Lava Origin Stone Worms."

The first time Provence saw this strange Originium Insect, her tail was accidentally set on fire because she underestimated it, so she had a deep memory.

"Although their appearance is almost the same as that of the Origin Stone Worms, they use volcanoes as their nests, feed on the special obsidian here, and build their nests and take root inside the volcano in Siesta."

"Eat obsidian? Is this stuff nutritious?"

Bei Chen curiously asked, "It's okay to eat the Origin Stone. That thing at least has energy. How can you absorb nutrients after eating it?"

"We don't know much about this. After all, we haven't analyzed the composition of obsidian in detail. Therefore, these Originium Insects are concentrated in and around the core area of ​​​​the volcano, and a large amount of obsidian mixed with special ingredients also exists in patches here."

"Listening to what you said, why do I feel that this obsidian is a special source stone produced by volcanic eruptions?"

"It should be the Source Stone, but it exists under a special condition. No radioactivity has been detected yet, but it is still not recommended to contact it for a long time. After all, no one can guarantee whether accidents will happen in the future."

Tianhuo also had an inexplicable fondness for this small decoration made of obsidian. After all, it was really pretty, but after learning about it, she gave up her plan to buy some as souvenirs.

"So the passage we are walking through now is actually an abandoned mine?"

Beichen looked at the irregularly shaped wall on the side. There were indeed many artificial traces.

"The miners in Siesta should have taken advantage of the characteristics of this source of stone insects and followed them to find new obsidian resources, but now it seems that they have been exhausted."

"It has been a long time since the last volcanic eruption. The obsidian here cannot be replenished. The loss caused by the source stone insects is actually negligible. The real culprit is actually the excessive mining of Siesta."

Excessive mining destroys the environment. Beichen is very familiar with this. After all, high school geography always has this kind of problem, but there are no Origin Stone Worms to attack humans there.

"The living environment of the Origin Stone Worms has been destroyed, and they can only constantly open up new habitats, which makes the already unstable geological structure even more fragile, not to mention that each of these Origin Stone Worms are like small Origin Stones. Like a bomb."

"Hmm... It sounds like a lot of Skyfire gathered inside the Rhode Island ship. I roughly understand what the situation is like now."

Beichen touched his chin and said.

"you!"

Tianhuo's face immediately bulged, why is this person always talking so irritatingly?

Forget it, don't argue with him, stay calm, stay calm.

"By the way, if you get angry here, will it also cause the volcano to erupt early?"

"?"

Unbearable! Fuck him!

"Calm down! Calm down! Miss Tianhuo! You can't beat Beichen!"

This is really heartbreaking.

"Huh, let's move on quickly."

Tianhuo punched and kicked Beichen, and the effect was remarkable! Caused a huge amount of damage.

"To be honest, it's a little too cool. I can't even tell how far away I am from the target."

"However, don't remove your Origin Stone skills!"

Seeing Beichen who was about to make a move, Tianhuo glared at him.

Before he had taken two steps, the ground suddenly shook again, much more violently than the previous small earthquake.

"Be careful, there may be gravel on your head."

As soon as Provence finished speaking, a landslide suddenly occurred above Beichen, and he was buried in it.

"Why am I always the unlucky one?"

Beichen kicked the gravel far away and scratched his head.

"What a loud noise. It seems that our calculations may have some errors. The enemy is much stronger than we expected."

Skyfire said with a frown.

The volcanic movement is becoming more and more violent, and the rising hot air has begun to disturb the sight of several people.

Wait, rising hot air?

"Uh, you two, the target seems to be under our feet."
