Earth in the age of elves

Although the huge crack seems unfathomable, it seems to go straight into the ground.

But when you blow away the hot mist, you can still see a faint red light at the bottom when you peek inside.

"Kirulian said there is magma in some places down there, rocks in some places, and it can't detect the depth in some places..."

Susu was a little worried, the internal situation was too complicated.

In fact, with Chirulian's current strength, the distance it can detect with telekinesis is probably less than 1000 meters. Since it can 'see' magma below, it means that this crack in the ground excludes some smaller cracks. In addition, the deepest is only 1000 meters.

And it is not that there are no paths leading to the interior. Following the high and low steps that cling to the rock wall, which does not look like a purely natural formation, you can go straight to the boiling interior.

"ladder?"

Xu Yi frowned.

Why are there stairs here?

First of all, the gap in Zhouhang has just been opened, so no one should have been there before.

Secondly, humans in the Elf World itself have long since become extinct. Judging from the dating of some ruins, almost all of them were buildings tens of thousands of years ago.

In other words, humans have disappeared from this world for tens of thousands of years.

"Could it be that there are ruins down there that are thousands of years old..."

Standing on the edge and looking down, Xu Yi felt more and more that his idea was correct.

Reaching out and stroking the water vapor, which was not low in temperature, Xu Yi felt excited in his heart as he assessed the obvious high temperature and heat inside.

People often get good things from the ruins, and the space belt around Xia Fusheng's waist that Xu Yi has coveted for a long time is also produced by the ruins.

Could it be that it's his turn this time?

"Hey~!"

The flame bird hovered above the volcano's crack - although this crack was long and narrow, the width of the entrance was actually not very large. The cross-sectional area of ​​the flame bird's wingspan was too long, and it had to turn sideways to enter.

"It seems like the flame bird can't fly down there?" Susu said, comparing the sizes of the two sides.

"Let's go down the rocky steps over there."

Xu Yi pointed at the stairs carved along the rock wall. Su Su squinted her eyes and was startled when she looked over.

It's too dangerous. These rock steps are dug diagonally along the crack in the ground, just like earthworms drilling a hole in the soil!

It's just that the earthworm is covered with soil on both sides, while this stone staircase is covered with soil on one side and the volcanic cliff on the other!

"With Kirulian's telekinesis, if the Flame Birds rush in and catch us, it'll be fine."

Xu Yi was brave.

Although Kirulian can't teleport with people now, it's no problem to lift them up with her telekinesis.

Therefore, Susu took Bobo back to the elf ball, and the two began to walk towards the stairs.

Going down the stairs, the internal environment of the cracked ground was beyond Xu Yi's expectation.

When he and Su Su avoided the area with lava below and carefully walked about 1/3 of the way down, Xu Yi discovered the source of the fog.

In the crimson rock wall, a huge gap opened out of thin air, and the endless underground water was pouring out from the gap, rushing straight to the lower lava like a waterfall.

Then, the spring water was boiled by the high-temperature lava, turning into rolling steam rising up until it broke out of the ground and turned into a thick fog that filled the entire forest.

"There must be a hot spring somewhere here..."

Xu Yi sighed slightly, and then continued walking down with Su Su, while the Flame Bird stood next to the crack in the ground and stretched its head to look down.

Soon, the stairs came to the end, but they were only about halfway through the crack in the ground.

However, a huge hole appeared on the originally solid rock wall without any gaps.

He lowered his head to look at the boiling magma on the other side and squinted at the dark hole. There was no need to think too much and make choices.

"Flame Bird, come down!"

Xu Yi shouted loudly upwards.

"Wow~~!"

With a low cry, the flame bird plunged headfirst into the crack in the ground.

It flew vertically downwards tightly against the rock wall, and the narrow terrain prevented it from even flapping its wings significantly.

But just when it landed at a certain distance, a red light shot out from the heat-resistant ball in Xu Yi's hand, pulling the flame bird back into the elf ball.

After doing all this, Xu Yi took Su Su's hand and walked into the deep molten cave that was the only way forward.

The molten cave is also very humid and even hotter.

Even through Chirulian's superpower shield, one can feel the excessively high temperature. The active flames in the air slowly erode the superpower, consuming Chirulian's physical strength at all times.

"The flame bird is too big, and it's really troublesome sometimes..."

Xu Yi's self-talk in the cave became particularly abrupt due to the passing echo.

This could easily wake up the sleeping rock-type wild elves. Xu Yi, who didn't have much experience in this area yet and seemed a bit reckless, quickly shut up.

"There's no danger nearby."

Chilulian comforted Xu Yi, and then led the way with blue eyes flashing.

Menas, who was floating next to Xu Yi and Su Su, surrounding them with his slender body, could not hide his excitement.

It has always lived in the water and has a strong curiosity and desire to explore everything around it. It often looks at the rocks or moss in the molten cave for a long time.

Along the way, neither Xu Yi nor Xu Yi encountered any danger.

Only once, I saw a dozing lava snail in the distance around a corner.

This huge and hot lava elf huddled in the back shell formed by the cooling of magma, snoring loudly.

Its body kept rising and falling with its breathing, and the snail shell with cracks on its back emitted large amounts of sparks along with the frequency of its breathing.

Xu Yi was a little interested in this guy, but he already had the Flame Bird, a fire beast in his team. After thinking about it, he gave up the plan of communicating with it in depth and continued the adventure.
