Chapter 181 Team
The entire huge cavity was suddenly filled with violent explosions and the painful wails of the lava giant.
The light of the flame and the light of witchcraft intertwined with each other. Surrounded by the great light, Benjamin's figure was invincible like a real demon god.
His floaters continued to clear low-level obstacles, while he himself focused most of his energy on those second-level lava giants, and the firepower of the Great Light Phase was also mainly concentrated on these elite targets.
The battle lasted nearly half an hour.
Because the lava giants were amazingly strengthened in the high temperature environment, their physical strength and regeneration ability were greatly improved. Even if Benjamin opened fire at full power and unfolded the "Great Light Phase" posture, it still took a lot of energy to finally win.
When the last lava giant collapsed, the entire underground cave fell silent again, leaving only the dull sound of magma squeezing each other under high pressure.
Benjamin's breathing was a little rapid. Although the energy consumption in his body was not great, his mental strength also felt a little tired after the continuous high-intensity combat.
He casually put away the floating cannon and the small talismanic magical devices surrounding him, and swept the entire battlefield with a cold gaze.
All the lava giants, including the lava giant leader who was at the peak of level two and close to level three, were successfully killed by him.
“Hiss… cough cough!!”
I subconsciously wanted to take a deep breath, but the poisonous gas from underground choked me and I coughed a few times.
Benjamin shook his head, took out the magic weapon engraved with soul search and walked forward.
From the soul of the lava giant leader, Rijamin obtained far more complete and detailed information than before.
In that fragmented memory, he found the specific location and entry method of a higher-level and more secretive advanced gathering point of the Lava Giants.
Without a moment's hesitation, Benjamin suppressed all unnecessary energy and rushed towards the target location like a ghost.
…
…
On the desolate scorched earth of the Yanyang Realm, Jieming shuttled between lava and rugged rocks.
He did not use flying magic, but instead ran across the earth at an extraordinary speed relying on his physical strength.
His steps were light and swift, and every time he landed, he accurately avoided the bubbling lava cracks on the ground.
Just before he was about to reach the target area, a fluctuation prompt suddenly came from the reconnaissance guide.
Benjamin hesitated for a moment after looking at the message sent back, and then continued to rush in that direction.
Not long after, a violent energy fluctuation and the roar of a lava giant were heard in the distance.
Benjamin stopped immediately, and hid behind a rock.
He put away the Reconnaissance Eye and replaced it with the more concealed Glimmer Eye, exploring carefully.
In the field of vision, three wizards were fighting fiercely with a group of lava giants.
This is a hunting team consisting of a second-level wizard and two first-level wizards.
They were struggling with a dozen level two lava giants.
Although wizards are able to fight against a large number of creatures of the same level by leveraging energy, the second-level lava giants are elite individuals after all.
The advantage in numbers, coupled with the amplification of the lava giants by the high temperature environment of the Yanyang Realm, made the three wizards seem a little stretched, and the fluctuations of their mental power seemed a little disordered.
Benjamin did not act rashly.
His goal was not to kill, but to dive deeper.
Moreover, although the three wizards in front of him seemed to be fighting hard, it was all because they wanted to obtain more living spoils.
Exposing yourself now at the height of the battle could easily lead to misunderstandings.
He waited patiently.
After paying a lot of price, the three wizards finally defeated all the dozen or so second-level lava giants.
When the wizards began to count the results of the battle and seal the remaining living spoils, Benjamin took the initiative to release a weak but clear energy wave as a signal.
The three wizards paused, then immediately formed a formation vigilantly, guarding against possible enemies.
Only when they saw that the person walking out from behind the lava flow was a first-level wizard did they relax.
"Are you here to complete a mission as well?" the second-level wizard asked cautiously.
While asking, he also quickly scanned the dangerous items on Jieming's body.
He soon noticed the several rune-inspired floating cannons floating behind Jemin, as well as the glowing rune magic weapon on his wrist.
Even if you don't know what these are specifically, you can tell at a glance that they are definitely not to be trifled with.
"I was originally planning to go to a gathering point of lava giants, but I sensed some unusual movements here, so I came over to take a look. I didn't expect to meet you all." Jemin said in a gentle tone.
"Gathering point?" The leading second-level wizard raised his eyebrows, a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Jie Ming was keenly aware of his mood changes: "What's wrong?"
The leading wizard did not answer immediately, but turned around and discussed with the remaining two wizards. After a long time, he turned around and nodded to Benjamin:
"To be honest, we also plan to go to the gathering point nearby."
Jieming was a little surprised, but then he immediately reacted: "Then... exchange information?"
"Can!"
The two sides exchanged views and found that, as expected, their target was the same gathering point.
"That's why we're here too!" said the second-level wizard. "Our detection spells have recently detected unusual energy fluctuations here, and we suspect there's a major base of lava giants."
Benjamin was not surprised by this result. After all, the lava giant's wartime response strategy was fine for other creatures, but when facing wizards, this strategy of constantly dividing troops and increasing their value was completely giving away information for free.
He also generously listed the other relevant intelligence he had obtained: "According to the information I've searched, the gathering point behind is likely to contain extraordinary combat power such as a Level 3 Lava Giant."
His eyes swept over the two first-level wizards, and his tone became formal: "How about forming a team?"
"I'm fine, how about you?" The second-level wizard looked at the two first-level wizards next to him.
Although wizards are not good at group army combat, they are very good at small-scale team coordination.
On the battlefield, if the conditions are right, even strangers can quickly form a team.
The two first-level wizards naturally had no objection.
Although Benjamin did not elaborate on how he obtained the information, the others could basically guess it - the first-level wizard in front of them had killed at least a second-level lava giant.
But based on the lava giant's movement pattern, the second-level lava giant must be followed by a large number of first-level lava giants as a reconnaissance team.
They knew that since Benjamin could penetrate deep into this place and deal with an entire lava giant reconnaissance team on his own, his strength must be quite impressive.
On the battlefield, having a strong teammate means having a higher chance of survival, so they naturally cannot refuse.
The second-level wizard immediately made the decision and nodded to Benjamin: "Since everyone has no objection, then please give me your guidance."
In this way, the four reached a consensus and formed a new temporary cooperative team.
While they were on their way, they also exchanged their combat modes with each other to ensure that there would be no problems when they cooperated next time.
Under the guidance of one of the first-level wizards who was good at reconnaissance, they soon arrived at the location mentioned in the information.
It was an inconspicuous primitive cave, the entrance of which was covered by dense volcanic vines.
If it weren't for the extremely sharp energy perception, it would be difficult to detect its existence.
The inside of the cave was pitch black, but a burning breath emanated from it.
"The environment here is more hidden than ordinary lava giant strongholds." The second-level wizard walking in the front whispered, "Be careful, there may be secret sentries."
Benjamin nodded slightly.
They carefully sneaked into the cave, which was winding and tortuous inside.
After walking a short distance, we saw a huge underground lava lake. The surface of the lake was glowing with a faint red light, gurgling and bubbling.
According to the memories obtained from soul searching, this is the entrance.
The four of them activated the protective magic and jumped into the boiling lava lake one after another.
Benjamin felt the lava wrapping around him, and the familiar heat was like warm water to him.
However, since the other three wizards have all raised energy shields, he naturally won't be the only one.
They descended along the rugged channel at the bottom of the lava lake and then traveled for several kilometers in the complex, twisting and winding lava veins.
Finally, after surfacing countless times, the flowing magma in front of me became "thin" and a vast expanse appeared in front.
Everyone's eyes lit up, and they walked out of the sticky magma lake - they came to a hemispherical underground space with a wide view.
This space is extremely large, with a high top and a flat ground.
However, contrary to everyone's expectations, this place was not the barracks or mine they had imagined.
The entire space exudes a rich fragrance of water vapor and plants, which is incompatible with the hot and dry environment of the outside world.
They sneaked around carefully and soon discovered that this was actually a huge "plantation"!
In the center of the cave, large areas of green plants grow on the hot soil.
These plants have various shapes, thick leaves that are full of water and emit a strange glow.
They are apparently special plants that can survive in extremely high temperatures and can even synthesize water from dry air.
What is even more amazing is that, installed on the top of the entire huge underground cave, there is an energy ball with a diameter of hundreds of meters, which emits a soft and stable artificial light.
It simulates sunlight, providing continuous light to the plants below.
According to the information previously obtained from the soul of the lava giant, these special plants are used as food for livestock.
This made the three wizards in the team feel incredible.
However, Jemin clearly remembered that he had discovered through research that the lava giant also had a special digestive system that could digest animal bodies, so it was not surprising that it hunted other creatures for food.
But he never expected that these guys who appeared as elemental creatures were actually being bred.
