The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 228: Deep in the Sea of ​​Fire
Four hours later, the first rays of sunlight began to appear in the sky.

On the red soil plain, Richard looked at the pursuers behind him and couldn't help cursing:
"Are these Salamanders full and have nothing to do? So many of them are chasing after a wizard like me!"

Richard roughly counted and found that there were a patrol team of Salamander Knights chasing him, with hundreds of them. This number was beyond the scope of what Richard could handle with force, but Ulysses, his greatest support, was asleep at this time.

shhhhhh...

A magic barrier suddenly popped out from Richard's body, blocking the black arrows flying from behind.

Although these arrows have little effect on the magic armor plates on the spell support vehicle, they are surprisingly effective against magic barriers, which are pure energy barriers.

The arrowheads of these black arrows have been enchanted with dragon alchemy and have magic-breaking properties. Combined with the powerful kinetic energy of the arrows, this thing is simply a magic armor-piercing bullet.

Moreover, each of these Salamander Knights is a sharpshooter, and they can hit the target every time even at a distance of one kilometer.

Every time Richard used the magic barrier to intercept these arrows, it would consume a lot of his magic power.

"No, we have to get out of here quickly. If we keep dragging it out like this, we'll be doomed sooner or later."

Richard didn't know what these Salamander Knights were thinking, but he was clear about one thing: he didn't memorize the map, so he was just running around aimlessly.

If he didn't get away quickly, he would probably run into a second patrol head-on.

Roar!
A beast roar suddenly came from in front of Richard.

A large lizard with flames on its body suddenly came into Richard's sight.

Behind the lizard, Richard saw a not very large lava pool.

In this world where the fire element is in a balanced state, magma pools are as common as water pools, but on the red soil plains, magma pools also mean another thing - that is the refresh point of the fire behemoth.

The Flame Behemoth is a magical beast unique to the Chiyang World. These creatures are semi-elemental creatures that can survive in magma and survive by devouring fire elements and various plants and animals.

The diet is so wide that they can even use small amounts of the blade shrubs of the red earth plains.

According to the wizard's investigation, the magma network system under the red soil plains seems to be the habitat of some fire beasts.

These fire beasts often attack the settlements of fire lizards and destroy their farmland. For this reason, fire lizards have even created beast hunters who specialize in hunting fire beasts.

Looking at the fire lizard roaring at him, an idea suddenly flashed in Richard's mind.

bang bang bang...

The fire monitor ran towards Richard. With its huge body of nearly ten meters in length, the ground seemed to tremble as it walked.

"This wizard is finished!" A fire lizard shouted happily.

In their opinion, Richard, who was attacked by the fire lizard, would definitely be delayed for some time, which was enough time for them to close the distance between them and Richard.

But the next moment, they realized something was wrong.

Richard, holding the staff in his hand, jumped onto the back of the fire lizard, and then stabbed the lower end of the staff into the fire lizard's back.

The next moment, the life-absorbing tree pattern began to take effect.

The fire lizard's blood began to be continuously transformed into vitality by the tree pattern, and then entered Richard's body.

These life forces are very gentle, not as violent as the source sea abyss in the insect nest world. After entering Richard's body, these life forces swept away all the fatigue in Richard's body.

"Comfortable." Richard said happily.

But compared to Richard's joy, the fire lizard felt uncomfortable.

Who can withstand a blood-sucking worm crawling on your body?

It tried hard to shake off Richard, but Richard seemed to be stuck to it and couldn't be shaken off.

As the blood was lost, the fire lizard began to go crazy, and the fire lizard knight in the distance kept shooting arrows at Richard. Richard used his deflection position to deflect these arrows, and all of them bounced onto the fire lizard.

If Richard can only be regarded as a blood-sucking worm, then the Salamander Knight is a piranha to the Fire Lizard.

When it sensed the black arrow, it immediately dived into the magma pool behind it without looking back, and took Richard with it into the magma network under the red soil plain.

"Is this wizard crazy?!" The chasing Salamander Knight looked at Richard who entered the lava pool with the Flame Giant Lizard with a surprised expression.

The lava pool is not so easy to enter.

The magma in a world with a balanced fire element is more violent than that in other worlds, and the fire element in the magma will constantly impact all living things.

Even a native creature like the Salamander, which had adapted for countless years and had awakened dragon blood in its body, had to reach the peak of level three to ignore the magma. Richard was only a level two creature, and even for a wizard, it would be a bad move to rashly enter the magma.

When the leading black-horned salamander saw Richard entering the lava pool, he immediately split up the salamander team and guarded several nearby lava pools.

"Watch closely. As soon as the wizard shows his head, attack him together. Don't give him a chance to fight back." The black-horned fire lizard looked at the lava pool with a sneer on his face.

"I want to see how long you can hide down there!"

……

In the lava network, Richard held up the magic barrier and followed the fire lizard in the lava network, sinking continuously.

As early as when he became a first-level creature, Richard could survive without eating or breathing, relying solely on cells to absorb energy from the air. So in the magma network, he didn't have to worry about breathing.

Richard held up the magic barrier and kept taking out magic stones from his pocket and stuffing them into his body. The erosion of the fire element in the magma was terrifying for the magic barrier. The violent fire element was like a wizard continuously casting spells at the barrier.

In this situation, the magic power in Richard's body is rapidly decreasing, and even the magic power absorbed from the magic stone cannot keep up with the consumption.

But that's enough.

Richard opened the rift in the secret realm, took off all his magic clothes and put them in his pocket, then threw them all into the secret realm.

He only kept his staff with him.

As the things were dealt with, the magic barrier on Richard's body suddenly disappeared, and Richard's body was instantly wrapped in magma.

But Richard was not hurt at all.

"The magic stones I spent on the adaptive body were not wasted. The 500-level fire element resistance is something that even a three-ring wizard who doesn't go the physical route doesn't have." Richard sneered in his heart.

Richard closed his eyes and followed the fire lizard as it roamed freely in the lava network.

It was rumored that giant fire beasts were gathering under the red earth plain, but wizards had not found out the reason. Now that he had nothing to do, Richard followed the giant lizard and explored this unexplored virgin land.

The magma network under the red soil plain is very complex and vast. Below the network, there is also a vast underground magma sea.

Richard followed the fire lizard and continued to dive. Three days later, the fire lizard finally stopped.

The beast was not drained of its life by Richard's bloodletting; as Richard said, it was merely a blood-sucking worm.

Can a person be killed by a mosquito?

The place where the fire lizard was parked was a huge crystal pillar, which looked like an extremely huge fire elemental gem.

It is hard to imagine that there is such a large fire element gem in this world, big enough for a ten-meter-long giant lizard to stop and rest.

Richard used his mental power to explore the gem and felt that this gem was somewhat different from the fire elemental gems he had seen before.

This gem is constantly releasing fire elements, and it does not have the closed nature of ordinary fire element gems at all.

"Strange, even if this thing wasn't a gem before, it should have become a fire element mineral after being infected by the fire element for so many years. Why is the elemental property still so unstable?"

Richard got off the giant lizard and knocked on the huge fire elemental gem with his staff, trying to get some fragments to study.

But the strange thing was that no matter how hard Richard tried, the strange fire elemental gem under his feet was not damaged at all.

This is very different from other fire elemental gems.

Fire elemental gems are notoriously hard and brittle.

“It’s strange, what on earth is this thing, it has been in this magma sea for such a long time and it has not been eroded and assimilated.

Could this be a special mineral of the Chiyang World?"

Elemental erosion is a problem that many alchemical machines have to solve, especially fire elemental erosion.

As the most active of the four elements, alchemical machinery will easily become brittle if exposed to high concentrations of fire for a long time.

If this crystal is really a mineral that is unique to the Chiyang World, then both he and the two great wizards will make a fortune this time.

Richard crouched low, tapping the crystal column with his fingers. Richard used the Mountain Breaking Fist technique. He kept feeling the power transmitted back, trying to analyze that specific frequency.

This is a long process.

One day, two days, three days, and a whole week passed as Richard kept hammering on the crystal column.

Finally, on the eighth day, Richard found the rhythms.

Richard snapped his fingers and a small piece of crystal broke off from the pillar.

Holding the crystal, Richard erected the magic barrier, ready to open the crack in the secret realm and enter the secret realm for research.

But just as Richard opened the magic barrier to separate the magma and the crystal, the next moment, the crystal suddenly ejected a ball of flames - this was the fire element that corroded the crystal.

When all the fire elements were expelled from the crystal, the originally red crystal turned into a familiar look to Richard.

"This is... the Forerunner Crystal!"

As a wizard who has studied the Forerunner Crystal for hundreds of years, there is no way Richard would make a mistake with this thing.

This crystal must be a forerunner creation.

In an instant, Richard immediately understood the strange phenomenon of the crystal pillar.

This crystal pillar is a relic left by a civilization that has disappeared in the long river of history. It is built in a sea of ​​​​lava, so it must be able to resist the erosion of fire elements.

"I didn't expect to find the remains of the Forerunners in the depths of this lava ocean. This Forerunner and I are truly destined to be together."

Richard sighed, threw the crystal into the secret realm, and then he began to swim in the lava sea.

Since the crystal pillar was built by the Forerunners, there must be remains of the Forerunners nearby.
