Chapter 115: "Treasures" Under the Magma

Jing Cangming took off his armor and remained silent for a long time after hearing this. Is he going to miss it again this time?

Just as Jing Cangming was hesitating, the magma pool suddenly became agitated.

Suddenly, a huge lava snake drilled out from inside, and reached the top of the cave, looking down at the two of them.

Seeing this, Jing Cangming took two steps back, and Jin Gui stood in front of Jing Cangming and protected him with his body.

Looking closely, this lava snake was actually more than five meters thick. Its two vertical red eyes were staring at the two of them, and it kept spitting out tongues from its mouth. It looked extremely creepy.

At this moment, Jing Cangming also lost his concentration and stood there in a daze, not knowing what to do.

"Golden Turtle, how does its strength compare to yours?" Jing Cangming asked in a low voice.

The golden turtle said, "They are strong, not weak, but what I fear most is this kind of snake. Although they can't beat me, if they entangle me, I'm afraid I won't be able to escape."

While talking, the two of them were also staring closely at the lava snake. If it moved, they would immediately turn around and run. As for whether they could get away, that was probably another matter.

There are three ways now. The first is to put away the golden beetle and run away instantly, but you may not be able to outrun it. The second is to leave the golden beetle behind and hold it back while you run, but the golden beetle will definitely not be able to run away. The third is to fight to the death!

Jing Cangming began to regret his rash choice. No one had expected that there would be such a powerful beast.

"Hello! Respected guardian of the ruins!" Jing Cangming said respectfully, trying to communicate with it, maybe there was still a glimmer of hope.

But surprisingly, the lava snake did not respond to Jing Cangming.

Still standing there, staring at the two of them.

Just when both of them didn't know what to do.

Golden Turtle spoke up, "Boss, you said, this guy is a snake, can Xiaojiu suppress it?"

Jing Cangming said, "I will try to communicate again. If communication fails, I will call Xiaojiu out."

When he thought of Xiaojiu, Jing Cangming suddenly gathered up a bit of courage and took two steps forward.

"Respected guardian of the ruins, I wonder if you are willing to respond to me, but we did not mean to break in. It's just that something attracted me here. Please don't be angry!" Jing Cangming said respectfully.

The magma snake spoke this time, "Humph! Everyone who comes here says so!"

The sound of the lava snake is not loud, but it keeps echoing in the cave and sounds extremely creepy.

Jing Cangming continued, "Respected guardian of the ruins, I know you may not believe it, but I was indeed attracted by something under the magma. I hope you can show mercy and let us go!"

"Oh? Hahaha! Boy, don't be so arrogant. I have guarded this thing under the magma for so many years, and I have never seen it actively attract anyone. There are many strong people who died here, and you are not even a dish."

After hearing this, Jing Cangming seemed to understand. Many people had broken in here and lied that they were attracted here, but in fact, the things below had never attracted them at all. However, he truly felt the call.

Jing Cangming continued to respond, "To be honest, I did receive some kind of call, and it was indeed the thing below that called me!"

The magma snake looked at Jing Cangming with increasing interest, "Okay, then tell me, what is this thing?"

Upon hearing this, Jing Cangming closed his eyes tightly and tried to feel the thing under the magma again. Jing Cangming released the power of magma on the spot.

Soon, this thing actually resonated with Jing Cangming.

A strong light continued to spread under the magma, and this scene also stunned the magma snake.

The lava snake said, "I have been the guardian of this thing for ten thousand years, and I have never seen it behave like this."

Jing Cangming said, "You believe it this time, right?"

The lava snake nodded and said, "Okay, if that's the case, then I'm free too."

The magma snake's tone was calm, but one could hear a hint of excitement in it.

Jing Cangming asked curiously, "What does liberation mean? Could it be that the guardian beast of the ruins cannot leave the things it is guarding?"

The lava snake stuck out its tongue and said, "Ten thousand years ago, I was already level 83. I thought I was strong enough to go anywhere, so I began to wander around. One day, I came here by chance and encountered that thing. It seemed to have gained intelligence and tricked me into becoming its guardian beast. Since then, my strength has increased very slowly, because it would extract energy from my body and supply it to itself, but the feedback to me was an increase in body size. I also thought about escaping, but it is not that simple. It seems that there is an invisible chain between it and me, which prevents me from leaving. If you can successfully subdue the thing below today, I will be freed."

Jing Cangming and Jingui were listening carefully. They had never thought that the guardian beast of the ruins had such a past. However, there was one thing they did not understand. "Guardian beast, there is one thing I do not understand. Could you explain it to me?"

The magma snake nodded and said, "You say."

Jing Cangming expressed his doubts, "We obtained a treasure from a ruin before, but the guardian beast of the ruins not only did not leave, but attacked us. According to what you said, shouldn't we have freed it? Why did it attack us again?"

"Who is the guardian beast?"

"The evil giant lizard".

"Hahahaha", the lava snake suddenly laughed, "If it's it, it's not surprising."

"Oh? What do you mean?" Jing Cangming asked.

"That guy is not a guardian beast of the ruins at all. It is a cuckoo occupying the nest of the magpie. The guardian beast of the original Beast-Breeding Cattail suddenly disappeared for some reason. When we say missing, it is most likely dead, otherwise the chain between it and the Beast-Breeding Cattail would have pulled it back. This Tiansha Giant Lizard has been nesting here, acting as a guardian beast. But in fact, that guy has no connection with the Beast-Breeding Cattail at all. It just uses the Beast-Breeding Cattail to attract passing humans and then eat them."

"Wouldn't the Beast Breeding Po make it a guardian beast like the thing under the magma?"

"Come on, treasures, treasures, of course they have their own pride. Anything can become a guardian beast? Wouldn't the treasure itself lose value?"

"But over the years, haven't there been any more powerful war beasts coming?"

"Ever since everyone knows that becoming a guardian beast means losing the ability to practice and progress and freedom, most of the powerful war beasts take a detour. There are a few that will pass by, but they are smart and are not fooled."

Jing Cangming and Jingui finally understood. Thinking back, the giant lizard had actually said shamelessly that if the female spider had not snatched the treasure it was guarding, it would definitely not attack the female spider. Thinking of this, Jing Cangming got angry.

The same goes for Jingui. No one expected this guy to be so cunning.

"If I meet it again when I go back, I must kill it to prevent more humans from dying from its mouth in the future!" Jing Cangming said angrily.

The golden tortoise also shouted angrily, "We must kill it!"

The lava snake said, "We become guardian beasts just to find a suitable owner for the treasure. Now that this thing is calling you, then go down."

Jing Cangming was a little surprised, "Ah? Is it that simple?"

The lava snake laughed and said, "Of course it won't be easy. The treasure has its own tests, and it's not as simple as you imagine."

Jing Cangming was stunned, "Could it be that the two treasures were accepted by the woman spider? Oh, if that's the case, I must thank her when I go back."

Jing Cangming said, "Then I will go down first, Jingui, you wait for me up there."

Golden Turtle nodded. The horrible creature in the magma had already appeared, so he had nothing to worry about.

Jingui sat there, leaning aside and waiting for Jing Cangming.

Jing Cangming had already put on the armor of the Fierce Wave Lion of the God of Chess again at this time, and jumped into the magma pool again with a splash.

But the situation that followed was not satisfactory. Jing Cangming was bounced away by the waves emitted by objects several times in a row.

This caused Jing Cangming to come ashore several times to breathe. The golden turtle sprinkled salt on this and said, "Oh my, boss, it summoned you over but didn't let you get close. Hahaha, the boss can also be defeated! It's you, why don't you go back first?"

Upon hearing this, Jin Gui panicked, "No, no, no, Boss, I was wrong, please don't let Sister Xiaojiu hurt me!!!"

"Hmph! Then just shut up!" Jing Cangming shouted angrily, and then jumped into the lava pool again.

Jing Cangming once again released the magma power in his body, trying to build a bridge with the other party.

Jing Cangming continued to swim downstream, and the waves came again, with silver-white halo waves surging from the bottom to the top.

Jing Cangming learned his lesson this time and changed his method. Instead of confronting the wave head-on, he chose to dodge it by teleporting.

But something unsatisfactory happened. The instant body movement was completely useless. It was not that it failed, but that behind the halo was a series of halos. Since they were the same size, they looked like one from the front.

Now Coco was having a headache. She was still far away from that thing and had to find a way to avoid all the knockback halos.

Jing Cangming went ashore again and told Jingui the following situation.

Golden Turtle was also shocked, "Boss, you can appear a thousand meters away in an instant, is it impossible to get close to this?"

Jing Cangming also felt helpless. "On the shore, I can indeed reach a distance of one thousand meters in an instant, but due to the resistance of the magma, I can only reach more than fifty meters in an instant. My head hurts so much."

"What's the distance between the repulsive halos?" asked the Golden Turtle.

Speaking of this, Jing Cangming had an even greater headache, "It's almost seamless. It's better to say it's a repelling light column than a repelling halo. Even though it's hollow in the middle or the surrounding parts, they all have the repelling effect."

Jin Gui didn't have any good ideas, so he could only stand beside Jing Cangming and help him think of a solution.

Suddenly, Jing Cangming seemed to have thought of something, "Golden Turtle, can your absolute defense repel it?"

"Oh? It seems to be possible."

Jing Cangming suddenly laughed, "Then I have a solution. Come on, you come with me this time!"

Jin Gui suddenly had a bad feeling and was about to turn around and leave when he was grabbed by Jing Cangming with a wicked smile.

"Hey! Where do you want to go?"

"Well...stay away from you, it doesn't look good."

"Oh, you are absolutely defensive, it won't hurt, let's go."

The golden turtle had no choice but to follow. Jing Cangming let the golden turtle transform into its true form, and then with its shell facing downwards, Jing Cangming pushed the golden turtle's belly and swam towards the bottom.

Although the speed is a bit slower, there is nothing we can do about it. At least we won’t be pushed away.

Soon they entered the area affected by the repulse halo, and this time they were not pushed back as expected.

But a new problem arose. Jing Cangming had no way of breathing under the magma, but the golden turtle could.

So when Jing Cangming pushed the golden turtle to a certain position, he quickly went ashore to breathe, and then went to the golden turtle's position again and pushed it down.

This cycle repeated itself over and over again, and finally Jing Cangming and the golden turtle successfully escaped from the area of ​​the repelling halo and came to the front of the treasure.

Jing Cangming did not have any time to hesitate or observe. He held up the treasure in both hands and swam upstream.

The journey was also difficult. For some reason, Jing Cangming did not feel anything unusual when he touched the treasure, but the golden turtle felt it was extremely heavy and slid down straight away. Several times when Jing Cangming went back to take a breath, the golden turtle had already sunk to the bottom holding the treasure.

Jing Cangming could only throw the treasure in his hand upwards with all his strength when he needed to breathe, and then let the golden beetle try its best to slow down its falling speed, and then he would rush upwards quickly to breathe.

It took me a whole day just to get this thing, after so many twists and turns.

After bringing the treasure up, Jin Gui and Jing Cangming were exhausted. They lay on the shore gasping for breath like two dead dogs, and the treasure was put aside. They had no energy to take care of it.

When the lava snake saw the two people bringing up the treasure, it realized that Jing Cangming was indeed summoned by this treasure. It had been down there for tens of thousands of years, and it was impossible for it to get it, let alone get close to it.

Of course, it was also because of Jing Cangming's luck. If he hadn't contracted the lava turtle before, and it had evolved a few days ago, it would have been really difficult to bring it up.

But in the eyes of the magma snake, all this was destined.

After a while, the lava snake said, "My friend, get up and take a look at this thing first."

Indeed, Jing Cangming could not see clearly what was in his hand in the lava. He could only vaguely feel that it was oval. After getting ashore, he threw it aside and lay down.

After hearing what the magma snake said, Jing Cangming stood up with difficulty, because he heard shock and fear in the magma snake's tone.

Jing Cangming and Jingui sat up respectively, and the moment they saw the true appearance of the treasure, they were both shocked.

This thing is oval in shape, red in color, and covered with scattered black scale-like things.

This is not a treasure at all, it's just an egg!

Jing Cangming glanced at the golden turtle and then at the lava snake.

Unexpectedly, in addition to being shocked, the ones who were terrified were not only the lava snake, but also the golden turtle!
