Chapter 19 The Dragon of the Volcano
"I want a real body."
He repeated the wish of No. 3 in a low voice, and Joshua's mouth slightly raised. He didn't seem to feel embarrassed about it: "It's really a reasonable wish."
Thinking about it carefully, when No. 3 was in the lord's mansion, he often paid attention to Ying and Lin's figures. Although he didn't know why because of his eyes, he could indeed tell that she had this wish.
Moreover, as both artificial life, one has a body but the other does not, this is indeed enviable.
After a while of thinking, the warrior gave an answer: "Whether it is the physicalization of spiritual bodies or the artificial bodies, research on this aspect has already gained some insights."
He looked relaxed, as if it wasn't a big deal: "When I have the chance in the future, I can contact the Mage Association or the Eastern Plains Academy, so that's not a problem."
“This is my promise.”
“…”
No. 3 did not reply, but just looked at Joshua's face seriously, as if confirming whether his words were true or false.
Soon, she showed a faint smile: "Yeah."
Miss Artificial Intelligence took the initiative to hang up the communication. Before leaving, Joshua could vaguely hear a sentence: "I will work well!"
"It seems that it doesn't matter, but in fact, you still need some rewards to work harder."
The warrior chuckled and then put away the communication array.
Now, it's time to go to the imperial capital.
And in another world, the other end of the space-time channel of the Great Eas volcano.
In the dark sky, black clouds surged in the sky, and dust pillars that seemed to support the heaven and earth were gushing out from the top of the mountain, causing countless ashes to fall like rain, bringing a scorching breath and a dry and anxious wind.
Five kilometers away from Sigma Volcano, on a speeding magic armored vehicle.
"As you see, this is the most dangerous place."
A voice came from the armored vehicle. In the wide transport warehouse, there were twelve soldiers wrapped in steel and magic patterns sitting upright on both sides, and in the center, a tall warrior in the same outfit was speaking.
A dull sound came from the back of the armor, shocking the atmosphere and turning into a powerful sentence: "Sigma volcano is about to erupt, lava rain, fire meteorites, dust that can flood people and hundreds or thousands of degrees of high heat will destroy everything around you, even if you are all wearing the most advanced and strong armor of the Federation today, and you may die on the spot at any time."
The soldiers sat silently on the bumpy armored vehicles, but from their eyes, no one was afraid.
The speaker seemed very satisfied with this. He was silent for a while, and then continued: "Our Terella Special Operations Team has experienced many dangers, extreme glaciers, underground caves, endless deserts... We have arrived, explored, and successfully completed the mission in all the dangerous areas of this world, and this time, it will definitely be no exception."
When he said this, his tone did not have any strong ups and downs, but just a mediocre narrative, but it contained strong confidence: "Now, we are almost at our destination."
The armored vehicle was driving at a rapid speed, and now it was almost approaching the foot of the volcano. The violent vibration shaking the sturdy armored vehicle like an earthquake, and the dust flow that seemed to collapse in the mountains also slid from time to time from time to time.
"All, repeat, our mission this time!"
Suddenly, the standing warrior who was leading the team sternly said.
The originally silent soldiers shouted loudly at the same time, as if they were roaring: "Look for the missing volcanic investigation team and investigate the reasons why they disappeared!"
"Very good, prepare, go!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the armored vehicle stopped at a stable location on the hillside of the volcano, while the twelve soldiers rushed out of the carriage like lightning, each running in a different direction.
The leader stood in the carriage. He looked at the direction of the team members leaving, with no expression on his face, but after a while, the soldier looked up at the top of Sigma Volcano, which was constantly erupting with smoke and sparks, as if it was about to erupt, and couldn't help but sigh.
In fact, even if he is as confident as he is, he has no confidence in this mission.
Since October last year, various natural disasters have occurred around the world, including earthquakes, sandstorms, glacier dissolution, heavy rain, drought, blizzards, extreme cold, ice rain... Countless disasters have raged on the territory of the Federation, leaving all disaster relief personnel exhausted. Now, it seems that it is the turn of a volcano eruption. Sigma Volcano, which was originally confirmed to be dormant, has also begun to reactivate, and in just over a dozen days, it has reached the point of an eruption.
To this end, the federal government sent an investigation team and authorized them to use the most advanced detector (this thing is so expensive that everyone is unwilling to think about that number) to assist in the study of the reasons for volcanic activation. However, the detector lost its signal. While the federal senior officials were furious, they also found that the investigation team that originally had dozens of people could not be contacted by anyone, as if the entire group was missing.
There must be unknown reasons behind this. The Teria Exploration Team, as the most elite special exploration force in the Federation, received this mission and found the answer behind all of this.
The volcano was still brewing power. The warrior walked out of the armored vehicle. The soles of the steel shoes touched the grayish-white soil. He could even feel the earth beating under him. The hot blood in the world surged in the blood vessels of the rocks, hoping for an opportunity to erupt. As a life, he was in awe and a little excited about it.
This is a scenery that ordinary people cannot see no matter how many years it is, and it is a reward for the bravest.
At the same time, magic communication arrays lit up from the armored vehicles.
"Report No. 1, no discoveries in Area 7, ended."
"Report No. 2, Area 13 has no discoveries, ended."
"Report No. 3, metal creatures were found in Area 32, and it was supposed to be a vibration sensor placed by the investigation team, ending."
"Start the investigation with this center, and maybe other traces can be found." The captain on the armored vehicle quickly issued an order: "Keep in touch at any time and end."
Next, there were small discoveries. During the rapid investigation and exploration, the soldiers of the team discovered many traces left by the investigation team. It seemed that they did work hard at the beginning and did not have the dereliction of duty as the senior management imagined.
"Report No. 9, Area 41 found the camp of the investigation team. If the data records, the location did not change and ended."
Upon hearing this news, the captain immediately issued a serious follow-up order: "Investigate the inside of the camp and report the situation at any time. Other team members such as three areas will go to the area for 41 gatherings. The other soldiers will continue to explore and end."
The report of Warrior No. 9 has not stopped.
"There are no people in the hall and there are many documents on the table. It can be judged that the investigation team was very panicked when they left."
“There are a few scattered shoes and documents in the corridor.”
"The food and various weapons research tools in the warehouse area have not been widely used. It can be judged that the investigation team day is very urgent, and there is no rest of time except for evacuation."
“The research center has many muddy shoe prints, which can be judged that many people gathered before this.”
No. 9 on the other side of the communication array quickly flipped the entire camp, his tone with a hint of confusion: "Apart from this, there was no discovery. Volcanic ash and mud rain buried all external footprints. I can't tell where the investigation team left."
"Boom!!!"
Suddenly, a huge loud noise was heard, as if the sky had collapsed. This was a hundred times more shocking than thunder. The captain who was halfway up the mountain looked up at the top of the mountain. He opened his mouth slightly to resolve the huge shock encountered by his eardrums.
And in his eyes, the heaven and earth were trembling.
An extremely huge force pulsating deep in the earth, which was the passion that was nurtured by the world itself.
The torrent of lava gathers and is about to explode. This is not the result of any technology or magic, but a message obtained by the warrior as a life, instinctively.
The volcano is about to erupt.
"Damn it! It's actually two hours ahead of the earliest time I predicted!"
Gripping his teeth, the captain decisively said loudly to each communication array: "The mission is terminated, repeated, the mission is terminated, everyone returns to area 0, repeat, everyone returns to area 0, end!"
"Report No. 9! What should I do with the information of the investigation team? End!"
"... Then bring all the information with you, hurry!"
The Terella team was indeed the most elite unit of the Federation. Within a few minutes of ordering, all the team members rushed back to the gathering place of the armored vehicles at full speed. Several soldiers were holding several cardboard boxes or instruments in their hands. They quickly entered the armored vehicles. Without waiting for everyone to sit firmly, the armored vehicles quickly started, turned, and then ran towards the bottom of the mountain.
Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo
It seemed like a wail or a mourning cry. A high-hot hurricane that was enough to melt steel gushed out from the center of the crater. The huge smoke column suddenly became thicker, and even squeezed the extremely heavy black clouds in the sky, causing the clouds within a radius to surge in dozens of miles. Some sunlight was revealed and shone on the mountain. The golden luster rolled, extremely sacred.
Although the gap was immediately blocked, everyone was shocked by this scene.
This is the power of nature!
But then, they were not in the energy to be shocked.
Bang bang bang bang bang bang!!!!!!!—
First, there was silence, and then there was an eruption. A violent explosion occurred at the top of Mount Sigma. The originally circular peak was completely blown up and turned into infinite fire meteors and penetrated into the clouds. The golden-red lava suddenly spilled onto the surrounding earth like blood gushing out of the arteries.
What kind of scene is this? The soldiers on the armored vehicle could not describe their shock in words, so they could only stare at this scene.
After a while, the red fire meteor left the earth and then fell from the sky again. The meteorite that erupted and rose to the sky turned into an extremely bright line of fire and fell one after another. It was not only around Sigma Volcano, but also within a radius of hundreds of kilometers.
The roaring volcanic meteorites fell on the peaks, forests and hills, so the mountains shaking, the forests burned into ashes, and the hills turned into basins, and a fire meteor was flying towards the area where the armored vehicles were located. With the captain's roar, in the vibration that was so violent that it was unthinkable, the armored vehicle's engine roared. It took the soldiers above the warriors away from this dangerous distance at an overload speed, and a violent explosion occurred behind them.
The supersonic shock waves quickly approached the armored vehicles, and the high-heat fumigation wind followed closely, but their speed was decayed so much that they did not catch up. The soldiers watched as the earth behind them turned into lava scorched earth due to meteorites falling, and the trees were fumigated into coke, and then burned, burning all the high heat swept through the sand and dust. Therefore, the quartz crystallized, forming crystals like glass, and lava and dust fog then covered it.
They couldn't help but pray to the gods. This matter was not stopped by human power, and they could only pray.
The volcano erupted again, throwing countless lava and smoke into the sky, golden red lines of fire cross the sky, and then fell to the earth, bringing out hot flames. The forest burned, making hundreds of miles a sea of fire. Lakes evaporated, rivers were easy to walk, countless mists soared, mixed with black volcanic ash, forming muddy fog and heavy rain.
"The map is going to be rewrite..."
In the armored vehicle, I don’t know who said this, and no one else expressed his objection because he was telling the truth, and it was indeed the case.
Even if the Sigma volcano stopped erupting, the damage caused by the devastating impact would not be restored. Fire meteors caused countless mountain peaks to collapse, ground subsidence, violent earthquakes fluctuated thousands of miles, underground waterways were completely destroyed, and all forests turned into scorched earth. If the Federation had not evacuated most of the people around, the outbreak would have caused at least one million casualties, and the disaster would have lasted for hundreds of thousands of years.
Everyone fell into deep thought because of this foreseeable future. They are also a member of the Federation. Even if their hometown is not here, this sad mood will not change.
This is a year of disasters and difficulties.
Just as the captain was thinking so, a surprised voice suddenly sounded from his side.
"Look, what is that?!"
A soldier stood up, pointing at the gap behind the armored vehicle to observe and exclaimed loudly: "Use a telescope to observe area 83! Look!"
Area 83? Isn’t that near the crater?
The captain and other soldiers were confused, but they curiously picked up the telescope hanging around their waists and looked at the 83rd area.
In the camera, a huge black shadow lurked in the golden-red lava torrent, and the black shadow was slowly floating up, then completely escaped from the magma, and walked step by step to a towering cliff.
The high-hot lava passed by it, outlining the huge body and strong body. It was a terrifying creature with a half dragon and half horse, all black. It had a string of bright golden crystal nuclei on its chest, and it flashed with bright light like the sun. There were two not-so-obvious bulges on both sides of the creature's front legs, as if it was the prototype of a pair of wings.
Just as the volcanoes continued to erupt, a set of red elemental belts began to appear around the creature. They covered the side of the giant beast like armor, repelling smoke, meteorites and lava.
“…what creature is that?!”
And a dragon roar that seemed to have overwhelmed the eruption of a volcano, crossed time and distance and appeared in everyone's ears. (To be continued.)
