The fisherman druid is in another world

Chapter 796

The volcanic island in the sea has changed the sun's power from a soaring to a spraying pattern, much like a showerhead installed on a high-pressure water jet.

Black Robb was not entirely clear about the mysterious changes behind this, but based on his past experience, he speculated that it would inevitably trigger a series of consequences.

Therefore, he issued several orders in succession.

First, the pyramid fortress rises, ascends, and activates stealth mode.

These were all set up during the original construction.

Even though it wasn't implemented immediately, the relevant slots were still left.

As time went by, each part was completed one by one.

After all, Black Robo can use the cheat to transfer items from the Void Warehouse. The parts needed can be built on the Old Sun God Kingdom warship, transferred all at once, and the part that is needed can be taken out and assembled. For a skilled worker, it is not much more difficult than assembling Lego bricks.

The pyramid fortresses were kept submerged underwater primarily for concealment and energy conservation.

Now, Black Robb's analysis suggests that the seemingly dazzling and hazy mist in the sky may actually conceal something sinister, which is readily apparent.

The probability of breaking through the rock strata to do big work from top to bottom is relatively low.

Therefore, launching the pyramid fortress into the air is safer, even if it consumes more energy. It's all ordinary supernatural power, which they can afford.

But there are many different versions of the story about what happens underwater.

This place is close to the center of the Earth Sea, and it's difficult to determine the depth of the dark water. What lies beneath is also hard to say.

The volcanic island rose from the seabed, reportedly in less than ten days, and has reached its current size. Over 30,000 square kilometers—it rose so quickly, far exceeding even a volcanic eruption. Even taking a lift for such a rapid rise is remarkable, making it highly unlikely to be simply due to crustal accumulation.

However, the wonders of nature always surpass human imagination. Moreover, if some long-dormant primordial deity were to awaken in this era, it would indeed be unstoppable and cause a great stir.

Therefore, regardless of the type, the probability of problems occurring underwater is higher.

The idea of ​​the pyramid fortress being launched into the air makes more sense.

As for being discovered by superhumans, most of them are now located in the center of the island.

In such a situation, the fact that it could be detected by high-level superhumans stationed in the peripheral area can only be attributed to the significant investment they made in monitoring the situation; they deserved to receive crucial intelligence so quickly.

Blackrobor's second order was to isolate the Moon Elf camp.

Like the pyramid fortress, the Moon Elf camp has maintained close interaction with the outside world through extraordinary forces since its construction.

It's not just about absorbing supernatural power; it's also about coordinating earth, fire, water, and wind—establishing a closer connection with nature, like connecting a complex and tangled electrical circuit.

Such advantages are numerous, primarily manifested in the efficiency and upper limit of utilizing environmental forces. It can provide a considerable power boost to the camp itself, and even to the extraordinary individuals protected by its domain's power during battle—in short, "advantageous terrain."

Now, an isolation order is equivalent to severing all connections, and then silently repeating: I am stone, you cannot see me.

From its connection to the forces of nature to the characteristics of the flow of extraordinary power, it truly resembles a mountain rock.

This is equivalent to becoming invisible under the remote sensing of a superhuman. As for vision, high-level superhumans rarely rely on vision; optical deception is the most common illusion.

The third order was to move the elevator platform, which had been transformed from Feilai Peak, to the dock and shut down the water element energy pool on it.

Originally, there was only a stone-built dock there, but as the magic array continued to operate, a well-shaped depression with a coral reef-like texture was formed in the seawater below Feilai Peak, where it connected to the dock, allowing Feilai Peak to remain stable on top of it.

Both of these were built on the underwater portion of the volcanic island.

Although the underwater portion of the volcanic island is also steep, there are still some angles that can support some concrete-like structures with relatively limited flexibility.

With this order issued, the elevator and the small dock became mere accessories to the volcanic island. If there were any major geological changes on the volcanic island, these two would likely be damaged.

Of course, even so, it is still better than other ships such as the Anglerfish. This set is simply welded onto the volcanic island, while ships like the Anglerfish are typical floating duckweed.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the sea is usually turbulent and can easily create waves hundreds of meters high; the real danger lies beneath the surface.

It's like a basin of water. No matter how fancy you play on the surface, it's all insignificant. But if a hand goes deep into the basin and stirs it up, the turbulent current will definitely pull you to the bottom without a doubt.

The owner of the Anglerfish was a shrewd man. His willingness to go solo and try to get a share of the spoils in the treasure hunt was not only due to his gambler's courage, but also because he had some impressive trump cards up his sleeve.

Although he encountered some setbacks on the way here, overall he was treated so well by Black Robb, who helped him repair the ship and quickly took down the pirates who were plundering. As a result, he was able to successfully preserve his trump card.

And now, one of them has come in handy. It was a broken sextant.

According to legend, the power of the sea god caused it to mutate and become unusable for normal navigation, but the two remaining markings can bring good fortune and ward off evil.

The ship owner regarded him as a sacred deity, and would consult him for divination whenever there was a major decision to be made.

Tonight, the ship's first mate came to tell him that something was wrong.

The boat owner himself felt a little uneasy.

Under normal circumstances, the boat owner might have justified it by claiming claustrophobia.

After all, the space on a ship is already limited, and now that the ship has submerged, it will definitely have an impact on both physical and mental health over time.

Although underground races are genetically far more adaptable and resistant than surface creatures in this respect, they still exist.

After all, significant contrasts have always existed. With contrasts come a sense of difference, and with differences come an impression, which is eventually etched into our genes.

Claustrophobia is a common ailment among seafarers in the Earth Sea, but not all problems can be attributed to it. At least the shipowner, who is also the captain, knows very well that he can use such excuses to fool the crew, but he shouldn't be truly naive.

So he made a rather bold decision to move the ship toward the moon elves' dock.

There's a reason why this area isn't suitable for large ships to dock.

The reefs and turbulent currents make the nearby hydrological conditions very complex, especially with the constant large waves. Without sufficient redundancy, ships are easily damaged by their tentacles.

But Boss still did it.

It wasn't just because he believed in the broken sextant, but also because he had been secretly observing the moon elves' behavior all along.

He firmly believed that even in the face of unusual circumstances, as long as he could cling to the Moon Elf, he could turn misfortune into good fortune.

To be more specific, the moon elves' ship repair skills are well-known, not to mention that he watched as the moon elves captured a large ship, sealed it with spatial technology, and put it in their pocket.

This means that there is no shortage of materials for ship repair, and one could even say that there is a spare large ship.

These are all real advantages, and it is perfectly reasonable to include them in the considerations.

Black Robb noticed this.

After all, he had secretly left some clues while repairing the ship, such as positioning.

Therefore, he quickly noticed the Anglerfish approaching.

"You do have a dog's nose!" Black Rob chuckled and let it go.

He wouldn't mind letting someone else take advantage of this level of bargain. This was evident from his past adventures in Vasco, the town in the Sacred Mountains.

Black Robb's fourth order was for the moon elves to enter a state of suspended animation. Since the camp was adopting a strategy of feigning death and avoiding battle by remaining invisible, they should do it as thoroughly as possible. Vital signs should be reduced to a minimum, ultimately resulting in an area populated only by a dozen or so small insects.

While those as weak as ants are easily bullied, they are rarely targeted by the powerful, because it's not worth it. Those with low threat levels and insufficient nutritional value won't increase in number, making targeted actions a guaranteed loss.

As for whether the crew of the Anglerfish know how to play the fool, that depends on their abilities and luck. Black Robb does respect the fate of others, a point that is also reflected in their adventure in Vasco.

As Black Robb and the Anglerfish each initiated their own countermeasures to the upheaval, the upheaval continued to deepen.

The most prominent feature is the series of earthquakes, which are irregular and not very strong, around magnitude 4 or 5, with the epicenter located several kilometers underground in the core area of ​​the volcanic island.

Therefore, the various superhuman forces gathered in the central area of ​​the island felt the tremors more strongly, but that was about it. Given the average strength of the superhumans gathered there, they could easily handle even an 8-magnitude earthquake, although their respective camps would likely suffer significant losses.

Since the formation of the volcanic island, earthquakes have been almost constant, averaging one or two per day, sometimes with a one or two-day interval, and then four or five earthquakes.

But tonight's event was too frequent and too intense.

Therefore, all forces are on high alert, fearing that the volcano might erupt again.

As a result, they packed up valuable or critical supplies.

At times like these, you can't be afraid of trouble. If an eruption really occurs and valuable items are destroyed, you'll be devastated.

And so, the first half of the night slipped away quietly.

Later that night, around 4 a.m., a rumbling sound came from underground, growing louder and louder as it approached. Then the earth's crust, formed from solidified lava, trembled like a drum.

Everyone knew that a volcanic eruption was inevitable.

Sure enough, almost all the volcanoes on the island erupted simultaneously.

The biggest difference between this eruption and the last one is that this one is more characterized by extravagant spending.

The first volcanic eruption brought out many remains of the Sky Raven clan.

The power of the sun and the fire of lava have organically merged to form a coexistence characteristic. Therefore, the power of the sun and even the original power of light in the remains of the Sky Raven Clan were not diluted too much by the lava.

Against this backdrop, some of the remains of the Sky Ravens were ejected encased in lava bombs.

The first subterranean intelligent beings to arrive on the island found many such remains, as if they were finding a nugget of gold.

Some are buried in the hardened lava rocks, but these are still relatively easy to find. As long as you use the right method and dig with a sharp tool, you can get them.

Even those remains that were lost at sea did not sink to the bottom, but remained suspended at a certain depth, due to the characteristics of the continental shelf (base) of the volcanic island itself, as well as the repulsive force of the supernatural forces gathered in the deep sea in addition to the conventional buoyancy.

Similarly, with the right methods and submersibles, retrieving these remains can be a lucrative business.

Although those who came later missed out on this wave of benefits, the continuous eruption of solar power made it clear to anyone who arrived that even greater profits lay ahead.

Therefore, most treasure hunting teams' strategy is to go to areas rich in heritage, then choose a good spot to start mining operations.

This is something that subterranean creatures are very familiar with.

Whether it's establishing a settlement, building a tunnel, or expanding a ranch or plantation, this technology is essential.

Even the dwarves, faced with the many intelligent creatures who have lived in the underground world for generations, dare not claim that their digging technology is the strongest.

As for the harvest, there were indeed some successes. For example, one faction was lucky enough to dig into a lava chamber inside a volcano, and then sailed on the lava sea to retrieve the remains of a sky raven.

Lava is indeed dangerous, but it is not an insurmountable obstacle for prepared superhumans. In fact, with sufficient magical enhancement, it is not unthinkable to take a bath or dive in lava for a short period of time.

Of course, there's more than one method. For example, enslaving a fire elemental spirit and having it do the work is one way.

In addition, fire lizards and fire dwarves in the fire element world also have extremely high fire resistance, making them suitable for lava salvage operations.

However, it must be said that knowing how to swim does not mean you won't drown.

On the contrary, those who drown the most are often those who can swim.

Therefore, in this round of volcanic eruptions, the faction that previously developed the mining tunnels is the most unfortunate.

It's like opening a hole in the side of the water gun barrel; when pressure is applied, it sprays out first.

The eruption of a volcanic cluster is naturally a magnificent sight; being there is like standing amidst a raging eruption of volcanic rocks.

It's impossible to avoid all the lava attacks; you can only selectively avoid the most severe ones, relying on your abilities and risking your life to withstand the lighter ones.

But at the same time, this is also a celebration for high-level superhumans, since there are still warm remains of sky ravens in the erupting lava, like a pie falling from the sky, which high-level superhumans can totally enjoy catching.

Those with exceptional skills and daring will fly to retrieve them, often using vehicles similar to the Void Skateboard from the Marvel Universe's Silver Surfer.

This is a magical artifact developed by a high-level transcendent being belonging to the various states around the sea; it's a typical example of someone who lives off the sea.

For these well-prepared high-level beings, lava is not much different from ocean waves.

But this jubilation lasted only a moment before the situation reversed.

Because what erupts from volcanoes is no longer just lava; in fact, later on, lava was no longer the main component, but rather a large amount of evil substances.

Among these evil species, the evil crows make up a portion, but their numbers are not large.

There was no beetle-like evil creature that Black Rob encountered on his first night on the island; that was a byproduct that proliferated after the volcanic island was initially formed.

The main creature that appeared this time was a black, lava-like creature resembling a giant salamander.

Upon seeing this creature, Black Robo's first thought was that it resembled a fire salamander from the fire elemental world. However, upon closer inspection, he realized that the two were actually quite different.

This is dark, evil, twisted, and alienated, containing the power of negative energy laws.

This last point is especially important.

For those below the legendary rank, the existence of the power of laws is like the finishing touch; its presence or absence makes a huge difference.

A simple and straightforward, but not entirely accurate, description: Those who possess the power of laws often have some kind of supernatural ability similar to a natural talent.

This superpower is like a constant buff, as natural as breathing, and when used well, it can often make opponents feel very troubled.

The creature that spewed out of this volcanic eruption, which we'll tentatively call the Evil Salamander, has the ability to teleport infinitely within the field formed by the volcanic archipelago!
So the new scene became easy to understand. These evil salamanders, with their huge heads, were gnawing away like piranhas. They would take a bite and then retreat, swallow it, and then pounce on it again. The key was that they were teleporting around.

When a group of giant salamanders attack, you will see the silver light of the spatial power around the target constantly flashing, and the black-and-red-patterned figure of the evil salamander will constantly appear and disappear. Some unlucky superhumans will be devoured before they can even figure out what's going on. Not to mention flesh and blood, not even bones and internal organs will be left. Only non-organic materials like cloth can be pieced together to make a cenotaph.

Of course, the deaths of this group of extraordinary individuals were valuable.

Other extraordinary individuals not only witnessed the evil salamanders' ability to teleport infinitely, but also noticed that their biting attacks were considered to be magic-breaking.

In other words, energy armor, energy shields, and force field shields are practically useless against them; it's better to use pure material armor, such as heavy metal armor, which the evil salamanders clearly can't bite through. This is evidenced by the remarkable effectiveness of some superhumans using metal shields for defense.

The problem is that the superhumans present, even if they carried that type of armor, rarely equipped it, because dealing with lava mainly depends on superhuman strength resistance, and mobility is also very important. Therefore, the superhumans almost all wore light armor that focused on resistance.

Now I need to change my outfit on the battlefield, which is a real problem. It's not Saint Seiya's armor or Iron Man's suit, so there's no way to change outfits with one click. What should I do if I'm late?
