Chapter 403 Crossing, Conjecture
Red Lotus is still sailing slowly but steadily in the magma ocean!
Although the magma was hot and sticky, and it was inconvenient for the red lotus to march, Xia Fei controlled it very carefully. The people standing on it not only did not feel a trace of heat, but because of the stability of the red lotus made them calm down a lot in their hearts!
From the outside to the inside, as they go deep into the magma ocean, the color of the magma also changes!
From the bright red from afar to the bright orange from a close look, to the magma under the feet of several people now, it has shown a golden color! This bright golden yellow is not synonymous with noble or rich. In the eyes of everyone, it is a signal that the magma temperature under your feet is rising again!
The change in the color of magma makes the shadows of those small white creatures more difficult to find!
Brad, as a magician of the whole department, is probably the most sensitive to the fluctuation of the fire element except Xia Fei. Although he has been paying close attention to the abnormal movements around him, it is really troublesome and troublesome to find the small white creature in the golden color!
Just when Brad couldn't find the figures of the "slugs" for a long time, a white shadow suddenly popped out of the magma. The posture was like a flying fish flying off the water, indescribably strange and discordant!
"It's that kind of salamb!"
Before Brad could say anything, his eyesight was no less than his Hugh Potter, who fell into the magma again and shouted to everyone.
Everyone's hearts are sinking, but they didn't expect that the high-temperature magma of about 1100℃ could not stop the footsteps of this weak creature! The adaptability of the mutant salambants is so strong that their ability should be more than just affecting human thinking through sight!
Brad frowned and suddenly felt that something was wrong!
He turned his head to Hugh Potter and met his eyes with other partners in turn! Only Fenas seemed to understand what he meant, nodded to the teenager and said, "It's indeed that kind of salamado, but it seems to be bigger!"
Yes! Fenus is right. The size of the salamado reminded Brad of flying fish, but it's not just the size of a flying fish! It's not as "mini" as I saw on the rock before!
Strictly speaking, the "sapling" that just flashed away has an adult's arm length, the round body and the big head with "horns" beyond those of their peers they have witnessed at close range!
Is it possible that the size of this creature will change dramatically as it lives in different temperatures?
Brad told everyone about his conjecture and brainstormed to analyze this strange creature!
Although the age level and personality tendencies are different, everyone's opinions are quite consistent, that is, since this thing may pose a threat to them, just be more defensive and stay away!
However, this is what happens in the world. The things you dream of are often out of reach all your life; and the things you don't want to encounter are pestering you for nothing!
Brad and others lowered the volume as much as possible. At the same time, they asked Xia Fei to stabilize the red lotus and reduce the reaction to the magma, so as to avoid being discovered by the "samilk" hidden under the high-temperature magma... But between the golden magma surge, there are still white figures from time to time!
"Is this thing dependent on us or something! If you don't come out to fight, you can't hide and hide! It's really annoying!"
Qiu Jin, who stood beside Xia Fei and was responsible for guarding the helm of the red lotus, was upset by the haunted "sator" and couldn't help scolding!
Before this guy vented his inner dissatisfaction, he was choked back by the fierce eyes of the old devil. Although Qiu Jin was quite stingy, he was still a child in front of his old father!
Brad was a little funny to see Qiu Jin's appearance, but because of the current situation, he still swallowed this gloating!
He subconsciously scratched the back of his head and said to him, "Maybe there has never been a humanoid here. They are curious!" This kind of thing is cautious by nature, just like on a mountain stone. It is just some tentative movements. We will adapt to changes without change, and there is probably no danger!"
As soon as the words fell, the girl around her suddenly opened her mouth and interrupted Brad's comforting words! Meru made a cruel analysis with her usual cold tone without any emotional color!
"I don't think so!"
Meru coughed gently and said slowly, "If this salamulu living in high-heat areas is really a variant product of Mexican salamy, they should have a strong ability to regenerate and metamorphosis!" You know, even in human society, through the change of living environment, this salam can become another creature, an adult fire lizard!"
Melu's words surprised everyone. Although they have heard of this popular pet more or less, no one knows more about life habits than Meru, a hard-working biological expert!
Brad couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. Although he entered the United College of Magic and Skills, he and Melu studied the same major and should have studied the expertise of these creatures, but he, who was busy with foreign affairs, did not work as hard as a girl!
At this jux, only Meru can use his rich knowledge reserve to make the most reasonable speculation and analysis!
"This salamand should have been the best material for human experiments, because their regenerative ability is indeed strong, and by changing endocrine, very rare metamorphosis can appear!"
Meru continued: "From the lifelong juvenile Mexican blunt-mouth salamblet to the adult fire lizard, a few of these small organisms can be achieved by injecting iodine or hormones, or the gradual change of the living environment, which has always been the field that many biologists are committed to studying! And it is even more unexpected to let this aquatic species swim in the magma!"
"But... this is the demon world. Even if they are basically the same as the creatures in human society, their living habits are completely different, it is very likely!"
Brad is not offensive. Try to reduce the questioning in his words in a gentle tone, so as not to attract the girl's disgust!
To his surprise, Meru was not impatient with his problems at all. Instead, he glanced at him with his charming eyes, showing a smile!
"You're right! It is easy to misunderstand to speculate on the life habits of Warcraft from ordinary creatures! However, in our class, a teacher once raised a topic, which is to study the opposite. Although organisms with different planes have different living habits, why do they grow so similarly?"
Meru patiently explained: "Although wind wolves and wolves are very different, they look exactly the same, at least in terms of eating habits and areas of expertise, speed! And the magic sand clams we have seen, although they are magical creatures, also live in a water system environment. What's the difference between hunting in fine sand and sea clams?"
"So... do you mean that these little things are no different from salams that overcome the limitations of water in terms of living habits?"
"Ye"
Meru definitely nodded and said, "We can imagine the salamuts that change their size because of the temperature of their living environment as those who have become fire lizards! With the change of their posture, perhaps these white creatures, which look almost the same as before, have become completely different species - from diet structure, temperament habits to magic that they are good at, are likely to have completely changed!"
Brad suddenly realized that what kind of problem Meilu had explained for such a long time!
Whether it is the Mexican blunt-mouthed salamblet in human society or the white creatures that are inseparable from them along the way, they may have the abnormal ability to completely change the characteristics of their species!
Just now, everyone thought that following them all the way was just the same kind of salamb that can use spiritual power!
However, the similar creatures that have just jumped out of the magma are obviously much larger... Therefore, Meru boldly speculated that this "sacomblin" living in magma above 1100℃ is not only bigger, but also likely to change from a curious and gentle little guy to an irritable dangerous molecule! And the attack they are good at may not be as simple as spiritual attacks!
"I understand! Everyone should be on guard against the sudden attack of the opponent!"
Brad looked straight and gave the first order to enter the sea of magma: "The opponent's attack may not be limited to mental attacks! Xia Fei, strengthen the fire protection boundary, beware of these guys who follow us all the way, and use magma to launch an offensive against us!"
Everyone said yes, with a twelve-point spirit! Even Xia Fei answered Brad vaguely at a time when she was highly nervous, saying that she had received his instructions!
Brad was a little relieved, nodded sincerely to Meru, and expressed great gratitude and recognition for her timely reminder!
Melu squeezed his thin lips slightly, and his eyes flashed with a touching luster!
Probably only the people in front of us can trust her unconditionally, understand her and implement it with practical actions!
The girl's eyes flashed from everyone. It was her lover, her lover's family, her birth-and-death partner, and her lifelong friends... Meru seemed to want to say something, but finally she still didn't say it! Only her watery eyes have something different from the coldness of the past!
Brad looked back and saw that the dark red mountains they had just passed were far away!
He took out a three-dimensional sand table and compared his position and the distance from the magmatic mountains on both sides. They have probably crossed one-third of the magma ocean!
As long as you persist for a period of time, the danger may be greatly reduced!
Brad thought to himself and prayed to the unsoughtless demon god, hoping that he could get some good luck and lead everyone through the difficulties in front of him smoothly!
