Rebirth: I can easily control the end-of-the-world game

Chapter 257 [Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea] 20

Perhaps it was because Feng Lan swam too far. Generally speaking, mermaids gather in relatively safe and food-rich environments.

On the other hand, it means that places where there are no mermaids nearby usually have a poor environment and there will be some defects that will make mermaids give up choosing to live there.

Feng Lan didn't know it before, but she found out soon.

Because she encountered an underwater volcanic eruption.

This is an underwater volcano that only appears once in a century. Usually, in such places, there are few fish, let alone mermaids, nearby. Only the small shrimps and plankton that live in high temperature environments, that is, near dormant volcanoes, will be affected.

Things are different now. With Fenglan, the probability of mermaids affected by the volcano has a new research direction.

Feng Lan will not die. She has rubies that can resist fire, including high temperatures. She also has transformation skills and energy cubes that can transform the energy of magma, mainly the toxic gases that erupt, and the small holes on the seabed near the volcano. Don't underestimate these small holes. Before the volcano erupts, these small holes serve as outlets for the pressure of the volcano.

Because of the nearby volcanoes, these small holes will spew out extremely hot water columns, just like the pressure valve of a high-pressure rice cooker, but the eruption of these small holes is random. If a creature happens to pass through these jet holes, the boiling water of several thousand degrees Celsius will instantly cook and crush the creature.

Bi Ke was too big to avoid the water jets. "Hiss... it's a bit hot..."

Feng Lan glanced sideways and couldn't help but ask Bi Ke, who insisted on not shrinking, again. She smelled the sweet scent of squid tentacles... "If you can't bear it, don't be stubborn."

Don't roast yourself like an octopus...

Bi Ke didn't say anything. He even thought that the smell on his body was a bit pleasant and wanted to taste what his own flesh tasted like...

"It's okay, Lanlan, I just think I smell a little delicious and want to take a bite."

However, reality did not give the two of them the opportunity to talk more. As the ground shook, the magma under the plates was eager to burst out. The surrounding sea water began to become turbid and the temperature rose. Feng Lan took Bi Ke and swam farther and higher all the way against time. Soaking in the magma, not dying was one thing, but discomfort was another.

It took less than a minute from the signs to the full outbreak.

It came even faster and more violently than the high-temperature island Feng Lan had experienced. Following the volcanic ash, large columns of magma and water vapor emerged from the cracks. The boiling red magma was cooled on the surface by the sea water, but the inner layer was still protected and continued to roll outward. The temperature of the nearby sea water rose rapidly, scalding fish and shrimp to death. At first, they emerged in small streams, and then rushed up like a red fountain.

It rushed to the surface of the sea from the deep sea, and after contacting the water, it quickly caused a violent explosion with black smoke and solidified volcanic rocks.

The magma was not extinguished by the sea water. Unlike ordinary open flames, magma itself is a flowing substance with high temperature properties, and its combustion does not rely on oxygen. Therefore, Feng Lan and Bi Ke swam very far and could still see only small dots of bright red in the distance. That was new magma that kept emerging, continuously breaking through the sea water. After repeated operations of cooling, condensing, and emerging, when the eruption is over, the cooled area will become a new steep underwater mountain.

The toxic gases and pumice that overflow and mix with the seawater will form conglomerate sedimentary phases on the seabed. After a long time, when the temperature drops, the coral polyps will pile up in piles, attracting other seabed animals, forming a new and lively seabed ecological chain here.

At this moment, the boiling magma, black smoke and pumice, as well as the foam stone formed by volcanic ash that burst out from the sea surface, did not have enough stamina to form a small island on the sea surface and were quickly washed away by the waves, unless the next time this submarine volcano erupted again and continued to erupt magma along the last fissure, eventually, after tens of millions of years of layered accumulation, perhaps exposed habitable land would be formed on the sea surface.

At that time, a new race might appear in this world, crawling out of the sea onto the land and starting a new journey of evolution.

But this has nothing to do with Feng Lan. After experiencing the thrilling escape, Feng Lan suppressed the idea of ​​picking up some volcanic rocks. Alas, this is not necessary.

Bi Ke covered his mouth and didn't say anything, and Feng Lan turned a blind eye. It was because Bi Ke was curious about what magma tasted like, so he took a mouthful of the flowing magma mixed with poisonous gas and volcanic foam rock. When Feng Lan found out, the child had a big blister on his mouth due to burns.

Feng Lan was so angry that she laughed. After confirming that the wound was not a big deal and at most she would not be able to eat until it healed, she simply didn't say anything and didn't get treatment. She just took it as a lesson. She wanted to see if Bi Ke would dare to eat anything indiscriminately by relying on his good teeth and appetite.

Feng Lan touched a crystal blister on her arm caused by the water temperature. She cast a few green magic spells to cut the blister open. If the green magic energy was not enough, she would use energy magic to convert some healing energy of the same nature as the green magic. Feng Lan's body was basically covered with burns, mainly because the mermaid's body was particularly resistant to water, but had basically no resistance to high temperature.

After all, ordinary flames cannot be ignited in water.

After a wonderful day, Feng Lan shrunk Bi Ke, put him in a basket, and returned to Wu Fang's territory relying on the guidance of the flower vines.

She received some unexpected news.

"The Blacktail Clan's territory has been sealed off?"

Feng Lan looked at Wu Fang, somewhat curious, "How did you know?"

You know, Wu Fang's territory is quite far away from the Black Tail tribe's territory. From the feedback from the flower vines, we can see that Wu Fang did not leave the territory at all today. So we can only say that he has other channels to obtain information.

Wu Fang looked at Feng Lan like an idiot and said, "Sound transmission conch."

"So this is it! This is so precious!"

Feng Lan remembered that when she followed Hong Yu to the Black Tail Tribe's territory yesterday, she saw someone selling this thing. However, not only was this thing expensive, but in order to communicate, both parties had to possess a sound-transmitting conch. After each other's sound-transmitting conchs were engraved with magic circuits, the two parties could communicate through the conchs. Although it was troublesome, as long as they were still in the underwater world, the sound-transmitting conch could provide communication for the two parties holding it.

Feng Lan knew without hesitation that it was Hong Yu who sent the message to Wu Fang, but she was very curious about what it was about.

"So what happened?"

Feng Lan asked, but in her heart she guessed that it was most likely because of the group of players in the Black Tail Clan’s territory.
