Chapter 188 Incubation Pool
With the successive deaths of the two third-level lava giants, the violent energy in this underground cavity suddenly weakened.
But Benjamin and the other two wizards did not have time to rest for a moment.
Because the situation on the battlefield did not calm down immediately due to the death of the leader, but instead entered an even more crazy state like a powder keg that had exploded!
The surrounding lava giants were not frightened by the death of the two leaders, but became even more violent!
Their eyes burned with even more intense rage, and they let out deafening war cries. As if they had lost their minds, they rushed towards the three human wizards regardless of everything!
The number of lava giants in this cave is beyond imagination.
"Damn it! Are they crazy?!" The second-level wizard was horrified, and his already limited mental power was quickly consumed again.
There was no fluctuation in Benjamin's eyes.
The sight of the densely packed lava giants rushing towards him was indeed terrifying, but for Jemin, the pressure brought by these lava giants was still not as great as that of the third-level lava giant.
Most importantly, what he is best at is facing large-scale battles with opponents who are not stronger than himself.
He spread out the energy bomb of "Great Light Phase", like a torrent of energy, ruthlessly blasting away all the lava giants that tried to approach.
High-frequency sound wave suppression and a downgraded version of "Lava Annihilation" were used in turn, each shot instantly disintegrating the second-level elite units among these lava giants, turning them into charred debris all over the sky.
The first-level wizard hid behind the two of them, barely using healing magic to recover himself, and occasionally using small-scale killing magic to provide support.
But his weak attack was just a drop in the bucket against the vast number of lava giants.
However, even Jemin did not expect that the number of lava giants in this cave would be so exaggerated.
It seemed as if lava giants were constantly emerging from the depths of the cave, and then rushing towards the few people with their fangs and claws bared.
The three wizards could only launch attacks continuously and mechanically, trying to eliminate as many of these fearless enemies as possible before being overwhelmed by the violent lava giant.
They continued the clearing operation for nearly half an hour, and in the entire huge underground cave, the lava giant's almost "suicidal" charge finally gradually stopped.
After confirming that no more lava giants rushed out from the depths of the earth or the cracks in the rock walls, even Benjamin breathed a sigh of relief.
After removing the "acceleration" that had been causing severe pain to his soul, Benjamin breathed a long sigh of relief and also felt a little tired.
I sensed a little bit the reserves of the three metal disk-like energy storage talisman magic tools in the center of the big light.
The battle with the third-level lava giant just now only consumed half of the energy of a talisman magic weapon.
But these low-level lava giants in front of him forced him to consume the reserves of an entire metal plate.
The most uncomfortable thing was that the battle just now was too thrilling. The three of them had no time to hold back and could only attack with all their strength.
So after such a hard battle, we didn't even gain much useful results.
"I hope the information the Level 3 Lava Giant has can make up for this loss."
Jemin sighed and turned to look in the direction of the third-level lava giant.
At the same time, the panting second-level wizard also raised his head.
The two looked at each other and nodded, both understanding that the other had the same idea.
The two of them walked towards the place where the two level three lava giants died tacitly, but when they arrived at the place where the lava giants' bodies died, Benjamin's face looked a little ugly.
The soul of the third-level lava giant he had killed before had completely dissipated because of the delay caused by the previous fierce battle.
It didn't even leave behind a trace of soul fragment that could be searched.
"Targeted destructive witchcraft can even be lethal to the soul... That's right..." Jieming figured this out and couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. "Unfortunately, I couldn't obtain the information from the soul."
I glanced at the second-level wizard next to me. That guy had already started cursing and it seemed that he was in the same situation.
Benjamin felt a little regretful, but it was not too turbulent.
After all, in such a desperate breakout and life-and-death battle, saving your life is the first priority.
Besides, this is not a big loss for him.
Because of the special nature of the talisman magic weapon, for Benjamin himself, the most he consumed was some mental power and energy reserves, which can be restored at any time.
At most, you'll lose some time and potions.
On the contrary, the other two wizards almost exhausted all their resources in this battle, but unexpectedly gained nothing, which can be said to be a heavy loss.
After the second-level wizard calmed down, the three of them rested for a while, replenished some mental strength, and then set off again.
After all, this battle consumed so much, so we must see if there is anything in the cave that can make up for the losses.
However, when he took action again, Benjamin could clearly feel that the two wizards' attitudes towards him had changed drastically.
Especially the second-level wizard, he even acted a little restrained.
After all, in the battle just now, the two wizards were not blind and they knew very well how exaggerated the fighting power displayed by Benjamin was.
This second-level wizard knew very well that if they really had to fight head-on, he would probably not be able to last more than a few rounds under the opponent's hands.
Benjamin also realized this, but he didn't care about it for the time being, but focused on another thing.
Just before, his fifth-level space-jumping magic weapon, a powerful magic that was strong enough to penetrate the barriers of space, was perfectly interfered with by the power inside this cave!
This undoubtedly shows that there is some extremely special and strange existence hidden here.
If there is any special gain, then maybe I can make some money on this trip.
During the search, a strange feeling lingered in the hearts of the three people.
After the previous violent fighting, this cave became unusually "clean"!
Apart from the remains of the lava giants and the destroyed plants all over the ground, there were no remaining lava giants along the way.
Unlike the small and medium-sized strongholds that Benjamin had cleared out before, even after the frontal battle was over, there were still some scattered individuals hiding.
When we walked a little further, we couldn't even see the lava giant's corpse.
Now this cave gives people the feeling that all the lava giants have "spontaneously" died in the previous round of battle, leaving no survivors!
This made Benjamin even more curious.
Although Lava Giants are elemental creatures, they are still living creatures in essence.
They have independent consciousness, participate in social activities, and naturally fear death.
This almost self-destructive charge seems extremely unreasonable.
Moreover, judging from the battle just now, the proportions of the second-level lava giants in this cave also seem very wrong.
In general lava giant strongholds, the number of second-level lava giants is small, accounting for only a very small proportion.
However, in the battle just now, the number of level two lava giants was close to one-tenth of the number of level one lava giants!
This ratio is much higher than what is commonly seen in the outside world, and is even higher than the elite ratio during the landing battle!
"This place is definitely not simple..."
The three wizards all felt this creepy weirdness and they acted more cautiously.
Not far from that plant "plantation" is another "farm" where the lava giants raise livestock.
Those were areas surrounded by special rocks, where some alien creatures that could survive in high temperatures were kept. Their bodies were covered with a rocky cuticle, and their bodies resembled giant lizards. They were lying on the ground, gnawing on the red leaves.
These creatures are obviously the source of "food" for the lava giant.
Every time Benjamin walked a distance, he would open his "Universal Eye" to sense any inharmonious spatial fluctuations around him.
Then Jemin will move towards the area where the spatial fluctuations are more intense.
Hard work pays off.
The three of them advanced for more than ten kilometers, and finally Benjamin found something strange deep in a hidden rock wall.
The spatial fluctuations there are extremely weak, but they carry a distorted gravity.
The three of them followed the wave and soon came to an extremely secret tunnel that extended deeper into the ground.
The size of the tunnel could even be considered narrow, completely different from the style of the previous lava giant's lair.
After walking a short distance deeper into the tunnel, a spacious room appeared before them.
In the darkness, a strong energy wave rushed towards me, carrying the primitive breath of life.
After seeing what was inside the empty room, even the experienced second-level wizard and the knowledgeable logistics wizard like Benjamin instantly revealed an expression of uncontrollable shock on their faces!
It was a lava pool that looked like it was man-made.
It is not very big overall, with a diameter of about ten meters. It has a regular shape and its edges are surrounded by carefully carved rune rocks.
However, the most surprising thing is the liquid inside this lava pool.
Although these liquids are extremely viscous and emit billowing hot steam, their color is a strange and bright red. They do not look like melted rocks, but rather like real blood!
A rich and complex breath of life, as well as some primitive fluctuations, emanated from the lava pool.
Although it was the first time that Jermyn saw it with his own eyes, he recognized the origin of this thing at a glance - this was one of the unique "resources" of the lava giant clan: the hatching pool!
His mind immediately emerged with the fragments of conversations among the biology wizards in the wizard camp when they were discussing the reproduction patterns of lava giants.
Lava giants have no gender distinction, and their main method of reproduction is the more primitive "autonomous division".
The production process is also very simple. A lava giant only needs to separate a piece of its core and throw it into a lava pool with more energy.
The fragment with the mark of life can quickly grow into a new lava giant under the nourishment of the power of lava.
