Chapter 179 Rest and Action

Not only Benjamin and the other two, other logistics wizards obviously thought the same way.

Benjamin stretched again. "The main task of the camp next should be to expand the scope of the geological survey and confirm this theory, right?"

Viola also pulled a chair over and sat down leisurely. "That's right. Such an important matter must be confirmed immediately. The camp's focus will probably shift to this aspect."

"Then there's nothing for us to do. We can finally rest for a while..."

This is also the reason why the two of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

After all, geological drilling to obtain samples does not require a logistics wizard, and most wizards can do it with a little training.

Moreover, sufficient manpower is needed to confirm the data, so the main body of this mission must be a larger number of combat wizards.

Anyway, combat wizards are running around in the Flame Frost Plane on a daily basis, and this mission is nothing more than letting them get some samples while digging for resources.

Viola swung her legs with a relaxed look: "So what are you going to do during this time?"

"Me?" Benjamin leaned back in his chair and looked up at the ceiling of the camp. "I'm planning to go out for a walk."

"As expected of young people, you are full of energy. Old people like us will have to rest in the camp for a few more days..." Viola teased.

Jieming smiled and shook his head without saying anything more.

"It's time to go deep into the enemy territory and look for more mortal energy." Benjamin thought to himself.

This was originally the purpose of his expedition, but he didn't expect that there were so many things for the logistics wizards to do, and it has been delayed until now.

Although the wizard provided him with a lot of earthly energy during this period, it was still far from the amount that Benjamin needed.

He did not disturb anyone, but quietly put away the research report and changed into a robe that was convenient for movement.

Benjamin set the minimum contact permissions for the magic network terminal, then activated the flying technique and flew straight towards the depths of the Yanyang Realm.

In order to collect as much mortal energy as possible, he decided to go to the Flame Sun Realm first, and then to the Frost Dark Realm, covering the core areas of these two extreme civilizations as much as possible.

It just so happened that the entire wizard camp had just launched a task to collect geological samples in order to confirm the previous news, so a group of wizards were flying around, and Benjamin did not attract anyone's attention.

…

…

The Yanyang Realm is a true scorched earth wasteland.

After flying in the air for several days, Jemin came to a dead place covered with volcanic ash and occasional lava flows.

The air is filled with the smell of sulfur and minerals, the ground beneath your feet is a heart-pounding dark red, and occasionally you can see a few dormant volcanoes still emitting white smoke.

The environment here is even worse than that around the camp.

The reason why Benjamin landed here was because his perception locked onto a special area.

It was a somewhat deserted ruin, once the site of a town inhabited by lava giants.

The charred ruins of the rock buildings appear lonely and desolate under the eternal scorching sun.

Even though it has been abandoned, its remaining ruins still tell Jemin that it was once inhabited by densely populated lava giants.

Because of the activities of the wizards, the gathering place of the lava giants retreated again and again. After finally encountering a ruin, Benjamin wanted to see if there were any new clues.

Just as Benjamin was about to land and carefully explore the ruins, he suddenly sensed a strange energy fluctuation.

Ahead, there were several weak but rapidly moving small life energy fluctuations.

"Looks like I'm lucky enough to meet him directly." Benjamin chuckled.

According to the information transmitted back through the reconnaissance eye, there were three level 2 lava giants and hundreds of level 1 lava giants on the opposite side - this was undoubtedly a small reconnaissance team of lava giants.

This group of lava giants apparently also discovered Jemin.

They locked onto the wizard in mid-air, and after a brief moment of surprise, they erupted in a deafening roar.

In their opinion, a lone first-level wizard who dared to intrude into their hinterland was simply walking into a trap!

"Invaders! Die!" The leading second-level lava giant roared, and hot magma gushed out of its mouth. The other lava giants on the ground also gathered their strength and prepared to launch an attack.

Benjamin didn't waste any words. The six "autonomous floating cannons" behind him started up instantly. The black cannon bodies flowed in the air, flashing with light.

He made some improvements to the floater gun this year, allowing it to maintain a wide range of fire coverage while also being able to carry out more precise sniping and point killing.

"Clear!" Benjamin gave a simple order.

The next second, the six floating guns opened fire at full power, and hundreds of missiles and energy rays were like a dazzling net of death, instantly covering the hundreds of first-level lava giants.

These low-level lava giants lack flexibility and precise defense and have almost no power to resist.

Their bodies were as thin as paper under the intensive firepower. Within a few seconds, they were blown to pieces and turned into countless charred rock fragments.

And Jemin himself set his sights on the three second-level lava giants.

The offensive talismanic magic weapon on his right wrist hummed, and three sharp light blades shot out from the magic weapon almost simultaneously, at a speed so fast that people could not react.

The three second-level lava giants obviously have higher defensive awareness and faster reaction speed.

They immediately waved their giant magma hands to try to resist, but Jemin's talisman magic weapon was too fast, and the light blade accurately tore through their lava armor.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Three muffled sounds were heard, and three light blades accurately hit their core and vulnerable parts. Based on a year of research experience, Benjamin had already analyzed the weaknesses of the lava giants thoroughly.

The light blades exploded quickly after hitting their targets, and the powerful shockwaves accurately destroyed the lava cores within their bodies.

The three second-level lava giants didn't even have time to wail before they fell to the ground with a thud, like statues with their core parts pulled out. The lava flow on their bodies also stopped, and they became completely stiff.

The entire battle took less than ten seconds. The Lava Giant Scouting Team, so aggressive just minutes ago, was now reduced to piles of charred rubble and debris in the ruins.

"It seems that my newly developed witchcraft is quite effective." Seeing this, Benjamin nodded with satisfaction.

The magic spell stored in the talismanic magic device he is wearing on his wrist is a by-product of Jemin's transformation of "Lava Annihilation" over the past year.

Specialized release speed and added automatic locking function.

Coupled with the extremely destructive power of targeted destructive witchcraft on the targeted target, even a second-level creature can be killed with one blow.

This is the terrifying thing about wizards. Once they conduct in-depth and targeted research on a certain ethnic group, their lethality can be quite exaggerated.

Jemin walked up to the corpse of a second-level lava giant, took out a fourth-level soul-searching magic weapon, and gently pressed it on its core.

The light of the "Eye of All Uses" in his eyes lit up again, and under the influence of witchcraft, the huge mental power carefully penetrated into the remaining soul fragments in the lava giant's body like a tentacle to search the soul!

From the broken memory fragments of the lava giant, he quickly obtained a lot of valuable information - the lava giants' recent activity range, gathering points, and how they hid.

Sure enough, after a year of high-intensity fighting, the lava giants have learned their lesson.

They no longer move easily on the surface, and spend most of their time hiding deep in the earth's veins, or even directly hiding in the boiling magma!

These magma zones not only have extremely high temperatures, but also huge pressures, which can effectively block the entry of most first-level wizards.

Even a second-level wizard would consume a lot of mental energy to maintain protection if he stayed in the magma for a long time.

Over time, their combat effectiveness declined severely, greatly limiting the wizards' pursuit.

But this is not a problem for Benjamin!

Although Benjamin is still a first-level wizard, his body has been tempered through in-depth body-building techniques in the Eloxia plane, and his physical strength has long exceeded the imagination of wizards of the same level.

With his physical body alone, he can withstand the high temperature of magma and the huge pressure underground without having to maintain a high-consumption energy shield at all times.

"Found it." Benjamin muttered to himself, his eyes fixed on a huge underground lava vein in his memory.

Jemin flew up and followed the path of the lava giant in his memory and found a huge active volcano crater.

Inside the crater, boiling magma is flowing slowly, emitting suffocating heat.

Without any hesitation, Benjamin put his clothes into the space inside his body, moved his body, and jumped directly into the magma that was rolling with hot bubbles!

The red magma instantly enveloped him, but no energy shield rose around him.

His strong physique allows him to move through lava with ease.

The only drawback is that the density of the lava is too high, making it impossible to achieve the graceful posture of swimming. Instead, it is more like a mole digging an underground tunnel.

Benjamin sighed, and his hands were like two giant shovels, digging a stable passage inwards in the magma!

The surrounding magma was briefly pushed aside by Jemin's power, creating space for him to move forward.

He was like a real underground creature, diving rapidly in the boiling magma and deep into the earth's veins.

Soon, based on the information in his memory, he arrived at an external entrance and exit of the lava giant settlement.

Jemin soon faced the first problem: this entrance and exit was not simply blocked by rocks, but an almost physical energy barrier!

This barrier is translucent orange-red, with complex and primitive runes flowing on it, emitting disturbingly powerful energy fluctuations.

It is highly integrated with the surrounding earth vein energy, as if it is part of the underground lava and is indestructible.

Benjamin released a little mental power for detection and quickly determined the strength of this energy barrier.

It not only has defensive power, but also seems to have some kind of energy-absorbing effect.

Although the effect is simple, with the help of the energy from many surrounding earth veins, it has become an extremely solid fortress.

Benjamin tried his best to check around, but he couldn't find any way to break through.

With his current knowledge and strength, if he tried forcefully, he probably wouldn't be able to break through even if he exhausted all his mental energy.

He could use the "Great Light Phase" to break through it, but with such a big noise, by the time he broke through the barrier, those lava giants would have already escaped along the earth veins.

What's more, this barrier is originally part of the warning system. Once it is broken, no matter what method is used, it will be discovered by the lava giant inside.

However, instead of feeling depressed, Benjamin couldn't help but smile from the bottom of his eyes!

Because he couldn't help but think of a famous saying from his previous life: "When the door is too strong, the wall becomes the door."

Ignoring the indestructible energy barrier, Benjamin simply "swam" back into the volcano, following the passage he had just dug, and returned to the magma channel not far from the entrance.

He set his sights on the thick and solid rock wall, which was the "wall" "protected" by the energy barrier.

Unfortunately, because he was in the magma, Benjamin couldn't take a deep breath.

However, he still adjusted his mentality, activated alchemy, and skillfully infiltrated his mental power into the volcanic stone wall.

It was as if an invisible drill appeared in front of his hands, and wherever he noticed, the stone walls automatically moved to the sides.

Benjamin started digging from the rock wall next to the passage.

This time, he was not digging in lava, but in solid volcanic rock and solidified magma layers!

Under the influence of his alchemy, the hard earth's crust became as malleable as quicksand, and then solidified instantly in the next second, leaving himself as little operating space as possible.

While digging out the rock in front of him, Benjamin filled it behind him to prevent himself from being crushed by the magma.

The high temperature and enormous pressure were constantly pressing in from all sides, but with his strong physical defense, none of these could affect him.

With precise alchemical control and tenacious mental strength, he dug more than one kilometer into the solid rock beneath the magma!

Snap...

With a slight crisp sound, the stone wall in front became thinner.

Jemin used his alchemy again and carefully pushed away the last layer of rock.

An unprecedented, extremely hot air and a strong smell of sulfur hit me in the face!

He leaped out of the narrow passage and landed steadily on the hot ground.

By the way, he stretched out his hand and wiped it backwards, and the entire stone wall was "healed" by him.

What appeared in front of Jemin was a huge underground cavity that was extremely hot.

The cave was even more vast than he had imagined, with tall spaces and flames shooting up into the sky. The walls were studded with huge lava crystals that emitted a fiery glow.

Not far away, the low sound of lava squeezing can be heard, and...

The low roars and conversations of a large number of lava giants!

Benjamin raised a cold smile and narrowed his eyes.

He had successfully bypassed the strongest "door", passed through the "wall", and successfully sneaked into the real lair of the lava giant.
