Quit the team, then picked up a beautiful girl with problems

"what?"

"A huge amount of magic flowed into this city along with the lava. It would be more accurate to say that it was the lava that was created by magic."

Leon said to Dorothy and the three girls who were attracted by their conversation, "Material created by magic has a high degree of plasticity. They are first enveloped by a specific magic power, and then directly form lava outside the body."

"Is that so?"

The half-elf was surprised. Zoe, who had been thinking with her head down, frowned and looked angry.

This guy has such a strong intuition.

Li Ang felt that she and he were thinking the same thing. "I've always thought it was a bit strange that such an ancient country like Lupus had lived on the side of a volcano for so many years without noticing any problems with the volcano.

"The Sky Island volcano erupted, emitting lava that engulfed the entire island. Given the accumulated fire elemental reserves on Sky Island, where could so much lava be ejected? Wouldn't that mean the island's ground was completely filled with lava? Then its shape wouldn't be stable, and a disaster would have already occurred."

Li Ang gently touched the surface of the body of the victim that year, and sensed the magic that had dissipated but still left traces, and even the spirit in it could feel it a little.

That feeling is very special.

"It was some sudden surge of magical power that created a massive amount of lava and destroyed the island nation of Lupus."

Li Ang can basically make a judgment.

The girls still remembered the main target of the Ever Summer's search yesterday, and they all understood what he meant.

Zoe said in a low voice, "On an island like this, it's the only one with such powerful magic, right?"

Li Ang nodded, and Anna said calmly, "It's the Molten Mountain Star Soul."

Before, all the star souls encountered by everyone except Genoside were friendly. And because the Annihilation Star Soul was controlled by the Eye of God, people did not equate it with the star souls in their minds.

Kolupus Island is the location given by Eden, and it is also known as a "relatively peaceful" place, inhabited by talkative star souls.

"Why does it do this?"

Zoe clenched her fists and looked around. Thanks to the ability of the Star Soul Greenhouse, she had already sensed that something was wrong with the lava.

The light of star soul.

In fact, I had vaguely noticed it when I arrived on the island. It seemed that the light of the Star Soul was widely dispersed in the lava that destroyed the island, which made it seem like it was there and not there.

Anna said, "From the information Lei Xiao Star Soul conveyed to me, Molten Mountain Star Soul is a gentle and introverted giant beast."

"The raging volcano seemed to represent the wrath of this gentle star soul. In its fury, it spewed out island-destroying lava."

Li Ang took a few steps forward and came between the victims, wanting to see more clearly.

As soon as he turned to face the group members, he noticed something was wrong.

"Come and see this lava statue."

The girls came to him and found that the back of the lava statue was broken, and the inside was hollow, leaving only an empty shell.

388. Strong Suppression

"The people inside, are they coming out?"

Zoe peeked behind the lava statue, and the others felt the same way.

"Could this be a very strong person? Although he was wrapped in the lava created by the Star Soul, he escaped with his own strength." Andasu thought.

"It's possible." Li Ang said.

"Is this the person we are looking for?"

Dorothy said, "If you don't want to leave, you must be able to survive on this island, right?"

"Not necessarily. If he was a strong person on the island at that time, it makes sense for him to leave the island after escaping."

Leon asked the girls to ride on Salamander and head towards other urban areas.

Due to the changing terrain, he had to compare many places to accurately locate the exact location of Mott's relatives. The lava statue incident wouldn't take much time.

"Huh? There's one here too!"

As they advanced through the city ruins, the girls were no longer frightened by the lava statues. Instead, after discovering that there were also hollow-shell statues elsewhere, they began to look for them deliberately.

As we saw more victims, similar empty shells appeared from time to time, and in the end they were not even surprising, and the discussion about them temporarily stopped.

Thanks to Salamander's powerful pace, the first area of city ruins was explored in no time.

"It seems the erupting lava has changed the terrain. We need to go to higher ground."

Comparing with the map, Leon realized that the power of the Star Soul caused the lava to not flow like a natural eruption. In some places, it was directly suspended high to form cliffs, which caused the terrain of Lupus Island to change greatly.

"There's a river of lava ahead."

After leaving the city, the Salamanders temporarily slowed down in front of a sunken crack. Dorothy carefully leaned out, pulled up her skirt, and looked at the flowing lava that was transmitting extremely high temperatures. Their fiery red color represented a forbidden zone for life.

After only a dozen seconds, the girls couldn't stand the heat anymore and mobilized their magic power to drive the power of the water-attribute equipment on their bodies to cool down.

Dorothy raised her staff, gathering the ocean bubbles. Meimei raised her hand and gently pushed, injecting magic power into it and stirring it, transforming it into pure magic water while forming a vortex inside.

The vortex force in the bubbles splashed water vapor out. The heat in the environment was not enough to evaporate the pure magic water, so they released a stream of water mist, which immediately lowered the surrounding temperature.

"Thank you, Xiao Meimei!" Zoe said with a smile.

"What Xiaomei? I'm much older than you!" the white-haired girl said again.

"But……"

"No buts, you should treat me as a senior, huh."

Zoe pouted: "Okay, Senior Xiao Meimei."

The white-haired girl gritted her teeth and looked at Li Ang who was flying beside her: "I really admire you for being able to tolerate her all the time."

"It's cute, isn't it?"

Leon did not cover up his voice, and this sentence was heard by everyone. White Wolf and Calf's breathing quickened, Canary was chirping something in a low voice, but Zoe did not move, staring straight ahead with an unextinguishable smile on her face. As she held her head high and chest high, the tips of her ears were a little red.

"Okay, no wonder you guys can get together, this world is really weird."

Meimei shook her head: "How are you going to cross this lava river?"

"You three, go ahead." Leon said to the Salamanders.

The most lively boss, the Fire Lizard, took the lead. Sparks flashed under its feathers, and magic increased its running power. It leaped into the lava river and swung its body quickly to keep floating.

The magma that could burn flesh and blood was completely unable to cling to their dense orange-red scales, and crossing this river of lava was no different from crossing an ordinary river.

Rather, they may be less inclined to cross the regular river because they are less adapted to the cold water.

The three fire-feathered lizards slowed down, just waiting for Leon's order. Their wisdom enabled them to realize that even if they were not afraid of the lava, the riders on their backs would be afraid. Even if they could support them, they would not dare to rashly enter the lava river and would only act with Leon's permission.

"Is this... the right summoned beast?"

Zoe and the other three were just curious, but Meimei looked shocked.

Li Ang felt that her world was indeed a bit out of place. Was there no one to guide the savior properly?

If both Meluna and Zoe are considered as the "protagonist" options of the game "Newbis Fantasy", then it is obvious that the world line of "Meluna" is a failed line. It may be that there is a problem with the designer, or it may be that the players who execute it are too unfamiliar.

If the World Wedge is regarded as a game design project, then the "Meluna line" is probably a scrapped project.

Li Ang's thoughts were not very polite, but he did not mean to laugh at her. After all, it was not Meimei's fault.

"You've never fought in volcanic terrain?"

"We have fought, but mainly in vehicles. We've had Cloud Walker battleships and their small airships. They weren't the racing ones like your beast-eared girlfriend, though. They were manufactured with the participation of the Dome Furnace Society."

Meimei thought for a moment and said, "On my side, I haven't seen many Monster Rulers since I became able to participate in the battle."

"Monster Ruler" is a special name for those powerful people who mainly control summoned beasts. Virgil in the Knights' Council is this type. Because the monsters he controls are so many and so powerful, he is even directly given the title of "Monster Lord".

"You're saying it as if some incident caused their deaths, or that there's some kind of enemy specifically designed to restrain them."

"Yes, there is an enlarged star soul named Nutia. She has the title of 'Mother of All Beasts'. Except for pure-blooded dragons, almost all monsters are unable to resist her control."

Meimei recalled, "I participated in the battle that killed her and witnessed her power firsthand. At the time, no one relied on summoned monsters to fight them. Now that I think about it, it might have been her power that destroyed all the Sky Cavalry who primarily controlled monsters. It's just that it happened too long ago, and it was common knowledge to many elders, so they didn't tell me specifically."

"You've fought many star souls, but you haven't encountered the Molten Mountain Star Soul?"

"No."

Meimei rolled her eyes at Li Ang and said, "If I had any, would I not tell you?"

"What about the others we know? Have you met them?"

"I seem to have some impression of that feathered serpent. If I must say, Sister Shu... I do have some impression of Diana, but we didn't communicate at that time, and I didn't have any knowledge of Star Soul. It was only because of my deep connection with Mengze Island that I noticed her."

Assuming the worst case scenario, in Meimei's world line, the star souls were either enslaved by the empire or destroyed by the empire.

It can be seen from the imperial armor on Mengze Island that the Empire, or the Eye of God, has already started to attack Xinghun.

Lei Xiaoxinghun Bali, he knows a lot of things and is quite shrewd. Perhaps that is why he was able to survive.

During the conversation, Salamander left the lava river and returned to the black, hard, compacted land, but there was another towering dome in front of him.

Beneath the dome lies a deep, dark cave. It's obvious that it wasn't formed naturally, but rather a mountain formed by lava stirred up by extremely powerful magic. Some force gave it the appearance of rolling waves, and subsequent island monsters dug and expanded the hole, turning it into a deep cave.

When the Fire-Feathered Lizard arrived at the cave entrance, everyone could see that the dome was very large, but it was not closed and they could see through it to the other side.

Beneath the black dome supported by lava columns are large areas of city ruins.

"What should we do? Brother, the city ahead is covered by this lava roof." Alulu turned her head and asked.

Li Ang held up the map and looked at it carefully, confirming that the place ahead was also a suspected location.

"If we take a detour, we'll have to go a long way. The city ahead also needs to be inspected. Let's go in."

He warned, "There's just a possibility of monsters being present, so be prepared for battle."

Judging from past experience, there are no very powerful monsters on this island - except for the Molten Star Soul.

The girls touched the handles of their weapons, and Saramenda entered the towering cave.

The surrounding environment suddenly changed drastically. The ordinary dry and hard lava layer turned into a softer rock layer with flowing magma underneath. Some places would often explode and splash, and some places would grow crystals of concentrated fire elements.

Li Ang flew to the crystals and collected them. These were all excellent fire-attribute materials.

There are also phalanx stones among them.

The lowest grade of fire attribute phalanx stones are called spark stones, followed by scorching stones. Most of the stones here are the latter. In terms of the preparation of phalanx equipment, the harvest is quite fruitful.

Among the cluster of crystals, Leon even found a third-level phalanx stone called "Disaster Fire Stone" that reached level 7.

But I didn't see any monsters along the way.

"Didn't they say there would be a battle?" Zoe looked bored, and kept throwing her four swords in her hands.

With the floating sword stand, she often treated switching hands and swords as fun, and performed it in a dazzling manner.

"It seems I was right. The ecology of this island is very strange."

As an island where an ancient country thrived, there shouldn't be too many powerful monsters. Coupled with the unnatural situation of the Molten Mountain Star Soul causing a huge disaster, it is a case of an extremely powerful monster destroying the balance of the region.

As they were speaking, the ground beside the advancing team suddenly bulged, and a beetle-like monster ran out from under the rock layer, carrying magma.

[Hellfire Ball Armor]

[An insect-like monster with a hard shell containing fire and earth elements. It likes to bury deep underground in volcanic areas and relies on rich minerals and fire elements for food.]

[Species: Zerg]

【Battle Wisdom: 4】

Servant: None

[Energy Source: Swallowing Flowing Lava [Temporary], Level 3]

[Body Strength: Hardened Fire Crystal Shell, Level 5. Rock-Spinning Claws, Level 5]

[Special Attack: Hellfire Roll]

[Skills: Fusion of earth and fire, swallowing flames]

[Combat Power Increase: 15%]

This thing is quite large, and looks to be larger than Salamander, but Leon knows that this kind of monster is the type that has no strength.

Although its legs are sharp, they are mainly used for digging in rock layers and swimming in lava. They are very short and cannot extend far from under the shell. They pose no threat to the flexible air cavalry. The only thing that is truly lethal is the rolling and impacting movement with flames in a ball, but it cannot turn and can be easily dodged.

"Kill it. Its shell material is pretty good."

"it is good!"

Zoe immediately transformed into a celestial being and floated towards Ball Armor.
