The fiery red liquid was suddenly split in the middle by the bone spur, splitting into two halves on the spot.
Mu Chuyue stared at the movement of the mass of thing, fortunately he did not find any signs of recovery. At the place where it was cut, the fluid slowly separated into two lumps, and the light became much dimmer.
It seems that it will not be possible to release the same kind of flame again in the short term.
Ellen succeeded in his attack and slipped back into the shadows again. Mu Huiyue also breathed a sigh of relief.
At least the pet's skills can cause effective damage, and she still has a chance to fight back, so she won't be chased and beaten all the way.
Just as I was thinking this, the ground began to shake again.
The injured red fluid seemed to have triggered some mechanism, and this round of earthquake was particularly violent, shaking Mu Chuyue so much that she could hardly stand.
Several times more crystals than before grew out from all directions, not only on the rock walls, but also on the ground.
The crystals shattered one after another during the vibration, and more and more red liquid spread out. For a moment, the ground seemed to be covered by magma, and the scorching flames lit up all the space in the cave.
Seeing that the fluid had begun to condense and take shape, at least ten strange creatures stood up tremblingly. Mu Chuyue ran to the back without any desire to fight.
Now is not the time to obtain intelligence...!
Ellen followed closely in the shadows, wrapped up the beastmaster once again and disappeared into the shadow space.
The cold and moist darkness flooded over his head like a tide. Mu Liuyue held his breath, trying to extend the time he could clear the impurities in the shadow space.
They escaped for a long time in the shadows, until the impact of the earthquake could no longer be felt in the shadow space, and then Allen and the Beastmaster emerged from the shadows.
They were still in the dim cave. Mu Chuyue held his breath and listened attentively for a while to make sure that the earthquake did not spread over here.
She still didn't dare to relax and looked at the light source in the cave - it was a bright red crystal that had not changed yet.
These smaller crystals do not seem to turn into liquid fire-breathing monsters, or in other words, as long as there is no earthquake, these tiny crystals are temporarily safe.
At this moment, a burst of high temperature flames suddenly spread from the corner of the cave, followed by a voice that sounded familiar to Mu Huiyue.
"A-Meow, use the Flame Wheel!"
Mu Huiyue ran forward and after turning a corner, he saw Flame Raider Meow transformed into a burning wheel of fire and leaped high into the sky, with the beastmaster Wen Li behind it.
"Wen Li, don't attack those things!" Mu Liuyue shouted.
Hearing her voice, the flame wheel deviated abruptly at the moment before hitting the target and hit the dark red rock wall.
The ball of red-hot substance that had just released flames twisted and condensed into a slightly shorter shape, with no other changes.
Mu Huoyue felt a little relieved. If the flame wheel hit this mass of liquid, it would probably be like what happened to Eren just now, defeating one of the liquid monsters but attracting more liquid monsters.
"Hiratsuki!" Wen Li also saw her and ran over in surprise, "Great, you are safe too."
Mu Huoyue smiled and nodded, looking to her side.
There was another person next to Wen Li, who seemed to be someone she had met before.
That was also someone I knew. He had appeared in the Kumasi review video. Like Lin Lin, he was a contestant from Yunzhou, Xu Chenglu, who was currently ranked fifth on the standings.
His signature pet, the red-necked turtle, was crawling towards him slowly but diligently, while the Flame Attack Cat had already released the Flame Wheel state and jumped lightly back to Wen Li.
【Name】：Red-necked turtle
[Attribute]: Fire
[Racial Level]: Medium General
[Growth Level]: Growth Stage 1
[Talent Core]: Flowing Flame (Fire Element C Level)
[Introduction to the Race]: A fire-attributed tortoise-like supernatural creature that feeds on flames and has a complete flow-fire cycle in its body. It can spit out high-energy fire-type special moves from its back shell, which resembles a volcano.
[Normal hidden energy value]: 11145P
The boy with the Yunzhou Beastmaster High School badge on his chest looked over here and introduced himself: "I'm Xu Chenglu."
"Mu Shuyue."
The two exchanged names briefly and got to know each other.
"Were you also brought here by that strange energy fluctuation?" Mu Liuyue asked.
"I don't even know what happened. Your fight with Lin Fei was so exciting..."
Wen Li recalled distressedly, "Suddenly, I came here, and there were strange things everywhere. I met Xu Chenglu here."
"My situation is similar. When the change happened, I was moving towards the central area." Xu Chenglu said, "I guessed that the master of the secret realm should be there, but suddenly I encountered an energy riot, and when I opened my eyes, I was already here."
Hearing this, Mu Yuyue paused and said, "After coming here, have you felt dizzy or had any other sequelae?"
Both of them shook their heads.
Then it is not a secret place that came to us because of the fate of a certain "anchor point".
Mu Huiyue fell into deep thought. Not only her, but Wen Li and Xu Chenglu were also here. Maybe all the contestants who were near the central area at that time were brought here. It would not be surprising if they met Lin Fei or others later.
Traveling through the secret realm of the flash period without protection will definitely shake your sensory perception. Even if Wen Li and Xu Chenglu happen to be humans with "anchor" qualifications, it is impossible for them to be unaware of it.
And the situation this time was even stranger. The two of them showed no reaction, but Mu Liuyue, the investigator, showed serious symptoms.
"What on earth is this place? What should I do next..." Wen Li sighed.
This assessment was full of surprises. She originally thought that she could just keep fighting and defeating everyone, but she didn't expect to be involved in strange situations one after another.
"Meow." Yan Xi Miao scratched the beastmaster with his claws, looking very calm.
It also doesn't understand the current situation, but after making a contract with its own beastmaster, most of the time neither the person nor the pet can understand the situation, so they just have to let nature take its course.
Mu Shuyue pondered for a while, and suddenly said to her: "Wen Li, come and fight with me."
"Now?" Wen Li's eyes widened, she was conflicted but also a little moved, "Since you have taken the initiative to invite me to a fight, there is no reason for me to refuse..."
"Come on, I agree to fight!"
The two of them got into position, looking at each other, and waited for a long time, but nothing happened.
The recording terminal with small wings that was supposed to be here was nowhere to be seen.
"Sure enough, even the surveillance of the [V-type video system] has disappeared. We are likely to have completely lost contact..."
Mu Chuyue's mood sank slightly. Her cell phone had no signal, and the bracelet from the Affairs Bureau had no signal. Now even the control of the Beastmaster Association was ineffective.
"Are you trying to see if the battle record terminal will appear?" Wen Li finally came to her senses and let out a long breath, "I was wondering why you suddenly proposed a battle here..."
"Because you are the only one who would agree to a fight at a time like this." Mu Shuyue smiled at her, "If a formal fight is triggered on the island with the consent of both parties, the recording terminal will definitely appear. If it has been discussed in advance, it may not appear."
"That's true..." Wen Li scratched her cheek embarrassedly. She was indeed accepting the battle sincerely just now.
"I hope the battle goes smoothly." Xu Chenglu looked at the two of them, "Is the situation worse now?"
The recording terminal did not appear, which meant that the Beastmaster Association's surveillance did not know where they went.
They were trapped here, not knowing where they were or when they would be rescued.
"There's no need to be so pessimistic, right? We should be able to hold on for a while with the supplies we have now..."
Wen Li's voice became smaller and smaller. The only food she had was given by Mu Liuyue. Both she and the cat were eating from their friend's share. Among the three people present, she had the least right to bring up this issue.
"I can think of a way to get supplies. Besides, everyone is a Level 2 Beastmaster or above, so we can survive for a few days without any supplies."
Mu Yuyue looked at the ball of fiery red liquid, "...I am more worried about those things."
The fluid that had just released flames was slowly softening, and the light surging inside had also dimmed a lot, and it seemed that it could no longer emit high-temperature flames.
"How do you know we can't attack them?" Xu Chenglu asked the question he was most concerned about.
Mu Huoyue briefly described her experiences before meeting the two people.
"That is to say, the things that flow out of these crystals are biologically active, have no thinking spirit, and will attract more of the same kind after being knocked down, right?"
After listening to Mu Liuyue, Wen Li counted on her fingers and summarized it, and her eyes became brighter when she looked at her friend.
When she and A-Miao were being chased and running away in panic, Hiiragi had actually figured out so much information. She is worthy of it!
"And it will release that kind of high temperature flame." Xu Chenglu added.
After he finished speaking, the red-bellied turtle finally crawled to the side of the beastmaster after such a long effort, stretched its limbs, and lay down lazily on the spot.
As it moved, the volcanic rock on the back of the red-bellied turtle cracked along the lines of its shell, spewing out small bursts of flames, like a yawn with fire in it.
"Just now, thanks to the Red-necked Turtle, it caught the flames that were sprayed out by that thing..."
Recalling the dangerous situation at that time, Wen Li was still somewhat frightened. The rushing fire almost engulfed the entire passage. Even with the bonus of the [Burning Blood] talent, it would have been difficult for her to escape unscathed.
It was the active volcano-like structure on the red turtle's back that directly absorbed all the flames, allowing the two to be safe.
Xu Chenglu looked at his pet and understood Mu Liuyue's concerns.
It would be fine if there was just one ball of liquid flame, but if there were several, neither he nor Wen Li would be able to escape, except for Mu Liuyue who could be carried into the shadows by his pet.
At present, they don’t know the triggering mechanism of the crystalline fluid, so they can only try not to stimulate those things as much as possible, but this cannot guarantee that they will not release high-temperature flames again.
This place is so weird.
After some discussion, the three decided to take a short break while they were temporarily safe.
Mu Huiyue asked Allen to return to the beast taming space and live in the [resting hut] with Bai Ya to quickly recover to his best condition.
Wen Li and Xu Chenglu also took out resources and food to help their pets recover.
Flame Attack Cat ate the energy block given by Wen Li, and then resonated with the Blood Burning Talent to make up for the previous consumption.
The red-bellied tortoise seemed to have a poor appetite, lying on the ground and making humming sounds.
"You feel full and don't want to eat?" Xu Chenglu understood what the pet meant and asked thoughtfully, "Is it the flame you just absorbed..."
The red-bellied turtle nodded, and the volcanic rock on its back cracked again, spewing out a ball of red flames.
This time the sound didn't sound like a yawn, but more like a burp with a fiery breath.
Before the red-bellied turtle could burp for the second time, Mu Chuyue suddenly raised his head and looked at the dull red liquid.
I don't know when it has recovered a lot, and its body has once again grown to a shape that can spit flames, and it is slowly surging.
Eren has returned to the Beastmaster's shadow, ready to fight at any time.
Xu Chenglu also stood up: "Wait a minute, if it's just a ball of fire, the red turtle can--"
"It's not just one group anymore." Mu Shuyue retreated decisively, and pulled Wen Li, who was still chewing the energy cube, and said, "Let's go!"
Before she finished her words, the ground began to tremble violently again. Countless red crystals grew out from all directions, shattered in the earthquake, and magma-like fluid spread out.
One group, two groups, five groups, ten groups...
More and more liquid monsters stood up, and the surging magma around them gathered and was about to release all the heat in their bodies.
Xu Chenglu didn't dare to delay any longer. He picked up his slow-moving turtle and ran back.
