364. Traces of the God of Fire

[Volcanic danger zone ahead! ! 】

Looking at the warning sign in front of him, Jiang Xiao's eyes flickered and he ducked into Tengchong Volcano.

It was just a warning sign with no one guarding it, but Jiang Xiao still didn't take it seriously.

Jiang Xiao quickly ran towards the mountains and entered the dense black soil forest.

Seeing that the surrounding environment had become unfamiliar, Jiang Xiao slowed down slightly, and the soft light shone through the gaps in the leaves, shining on him.

Jiang Xiao explored carefully, bending down from time to time to use his abilities to explore the ground.

One is to find materials, and the other is to explore whether there are traps around or wild elves hiding in the dark.

Near the foot of the mountain, there are almost no traces of wild elves, and occasionally a few three-haired gophers can be seen running under the ground.

That is, gophers with ground and steel attributes like to live in volcanic areas.

Nowadays, Jiang Xiao's ability exploration range is getting wider and wider. He can use his ability to see anything within 20 meters.

This change should have something to do with Jiang Xiao's stronger physical fitness.

Tengchong Volcano is obviously a volcanic zone, but it has extremely high vegetation coverage. However, it is very hot, making people feel hot both physically and mentally.

Not long after, Jiang Xiao felt that his body was soaked with sweat.

"Gulu..."

Suddenly, Die Xiaodie called out.

Jiang Xiao immediately crouched down alertly, and then lurked in the jungle ahead.

Not long after, Jiang Xiao saw a wild elf that looked like a conjoined twin suddenly appearing in front of him. His body was purple, with a poisonous skull mark on his front, and protrusions on his body that were spitting out poisonous gas.

It is the evolved form of the Poison Gas Pokémon, Double Gas Bomb, and Gas Bomb.

Double bomb gas floated in the air, looking around aimlessly at the surrounding environment.

The not-so-plentiful sunlight in the forest shone on its body, making the poisonous skull symbol on Shuangbang Gas's body even more conspicuous.

Jiang Xiao stared at this double bomb gas!

Race: Double bomb gas

Level: Professional level (45.6%)

Growth speed: Elite +0.1%

Feature: Chemical change gas

Life (+3), physical attack (+3)

Physical defense (+4), special attack (+3)

Special Defense (+3), Speed ​​(+2)

"Professional-grade double bomb gas..."

A trace of surprise flashed in Jiang Xiao's eyes.

He didn't expect that the first elf he encountered when entering Tengchong Volcano was a professional level one.

Jiang Xiao's eyes were a little solemn. Usually when encountering an elf like Shuangbang Gas, most people would not bravely move forward.

Because not only does it have amazing defense and is very resistant to beatings, its poison-type moves are also very tricky. The gas poisonous gas floating around it can easily poison elves and trainers.

This is not the most important!

The most important thing is that the double-bomb gas, like the thunderbolt ball, is prone to self-explosion!

The self-destruction move is theoretically more powerful than the destructive death ray. The big explosion with a power value of 250 is a skill that surpasses the ultimate.

Therefore, when encountering double-bomb gas in the wild, ordinary people would hide as far away as possible.

"No wonder there is a warning sign at the foot of the mountain. This Tengchong volcano is so dangerous!"

"But...is this double-bomb gas really a wild elf?!"

Jiang Xiao cautiously crawled on his body and used his abilities to sense the surrounding situation.

Bursts of black smoke floated not far away, and in the black smoke, double bomb gas drifted towards here.

Jiang Xiao frowned slightly, was he discovered?It looks like we still have to do one more thing!

In order to prevent this thing from playing [self-destruction], Jiang Xiao directly asked Die Xiaodie to make the first move.

………………

At the same time, the top of Tengchong volcano.

On the outskirts of the crater, a group of Heiruga are patrolling and guarding the place.

"Did beep..."

"Did beep..."

Near the crater, several members of the Disaster Corps wearing uniforms with magatama patterns printed on their chests were manipulating some kind of instrument.

They used advanced black technology to conduct inspections on the silent crater.

On the instrument display screen, a stone mural above the magma appeared.

On the mural, what is depicted is a fish-like thing, the image is very vague, and there is a magatama-like pattern on the eyes.

"It's really here..."

"God of Fire - Ancient Jade Fish!!"

Seeing this mural, the eyes of these members of the disaster group's fire group showed fiery looks.

...............

"call……"

Seeing the double-bomb gas being easily killed by Die Xiaodie, Jiang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you for your hard work, Die Xiaodie."

"Gulu~~"

Die Xiaodie squinted her big eyes, dealing with the double bomb gas was a trivial matter to her.

Jiang Xiao did not kill the double-bomb gas. As he guessed, the double-bomb gas was a "sentry" placed here intentionally.

Jiang Xiao didn't know who the other party was, but as long as the other party didn't hinder him, everything would be easy.

The reason why I did not choose to kill the double bomb gas was because the death of the contracted elf would be noticed by the owner of the elf and disturb the other party.

If possible, it would be better for him to try not to reveal his whereabouts.

With this idea in mind, Jiang Xiao continued to slowly explore the Tengchong volcano.

As we get closer to the crater, the energy around us becomes extremely abundant, and the frequency of elves such as sluts and lava bugs increases significantly.

In addition, there are also many elves who like to burrow into the earth, such as earth-dwelling ninjas and mountain rats.

Sometimes, a few rocket sparrows or dancing birds will fly across the sky.

Jiang Xiao walked up and down the Tengchong volcano, and unknowingly came to a cave.

This cave is very dry. Jiang Xiao can see from the traces outside that there should be wild elves living in this cave.

Jiang Xiao looked at the salt marks under his feet and vaguely thought of something.

"This salt mark looks like... the mark left by the salt stone treasure crawling?!"

Jiang Xiao's eyes flashed.

Compared with the tightly compressed salt stone barrier, the body of salt stone treasures is relatively easy to wear, and they usually leave some small salt marks wherever they walk.

"Well, if there is a salt stone treasure, there will usually be a salt stone barrier. Could it be that this cave is the cave of the salt stone barrier?"

Jiang Xiao's eyes were thoughtful.

According to the gossip he got, the source of the secret seasoning pointed to Tengchong Volcano.

To make the secret seasoning, you need to use clean salt produced in Shishilei.

This has to make Jiang Xiao suspect that the salt stone barriers in this cave may have been raised here by the Guanglin Municipal Government.

Just as Jiang Xiao was thinking, several rocks opened their eyes above Jiang Xiao's head.

The next moment, large pieces of rock powder scattered, and several salt rocks fell to the ground.

"Bam! Boom boom!!"

Jiang Xiao glanced at a few salt stone barriers, which were only at the beginning of their strength.

"Then leave it to you, Burning Bug!"

Letting Die Xiaodie take action was bullying, so Jiang Xiao finally sent the Burning Insect to the stage.

"Miba——!"

The Burning Bug screamed and was not afraid of the salt stone barrier that had attributes that restrained it. It even took the lead in attacking the salt stone barrier.

The Burning Bug performs the Bug Bite skill.

The Burning Bug's bite hits the Salt Barrier.

A clear "click" sound sounded, and along with Yan Shi Lei's screams, a large amount of cleansing salt was scattered from the wounds of Yan Shi Lei.
