This dramatic change stopped Angor from thinking about taking a detour.
Gregory held onto the edge of the boat and looked down at the corpse of the mandy bug, which was slowly being covered by lava.
With Bobota's mocking voice still ringing in his ears, Gregory quietly said, "Although the Ancient Mandy Worm lives near volcanoes, it is actually not a fire-attribute magical creature. It is only active near volcanoes because it needs certain substances that escape from volcanoes, and it is also very afraid of heat and fire …"
However, even if the Ancient Mandy Bug was afraid of fire, it was still unexpected that it could be pierced through in one strike.
What was even more surprising was that the volcano only erupted for a split second.
Why did it stop now?!
It was as if the eruption was meant to kill the mandy bug.
In the end, Angor decided to call it a coincidence. There were many reasons for a volcano to erupt. Something as small as a dust particle or as big as the movement of the earth's crust could cause a volcano to erupt. Perhaps the Ancient Mandy Bug's roar had caused an avalanche like chain reaction, which ultimately led to the eruption of the volcano, thus ending its life.
However, one incident could be considered a coincidence. But if there was another coincidence like this, there would be something fishy going on.
Just as they continued to fly forward, they encountered something very similar to the Mandy Bug incident.
In this pitch-black world, the brightest light was probably the light emitted by lava. There was a lava pool right in front of me … Calling it a lava pool was probably too small of a limitation. That endless orange world could be considered a large-scale lava lake, or rather, a lava sea!
After they passed through the volcanic area, they saw such a scene.
If it was a calm lava lake, there wouldn't be any danger. However, this area was filled with violent hurricanes. The black wind was so strong that it could be seen with the naked eye.
Inside the hurricanes, there were numerous lava snakes reaching for the sky.
Moreover, it was like a fire tornado, swaying left and right, completely blocking the road ahead.
The lava snakes blocked their path.
Hearing those terrifying sounds, one could imagine how powerful the impact was. If a true Sorcerer were to come into contact with it, it would be quite difficult for them to survive.
"Looks like we'll have to take a detour this time." Gregory suddenly yelled from the side of the boat, "Get out of the way, Mister!"
In the magma pool below them, a newborn 'fiery snake' was rising. Blown by the hurricane, it shook its hideous head and soared to the sky!
Gondola just so happened to be in the path of the fire serpent.
Angor reacted quickly. After determining the direction of the wind, the coordinates, and the best way to escape, Gondola followed the wind and flew forward for several dozen meters.
After successfully dodging the snake, Angor planned to take a detour. However, he would have to go against the wind. There were too many lava snakes around, and they were swaying rapidly. It would not be easy to move against the wind.
As Angor's decision was made, one of the lava snakes was getting closer to Gondola.
He could not go against the wind.
Seeing this, Angor flew forward without hesitation.
However, just as they were about to fly away, a hurricane suddenly appeared out of nowhere and blew the approaching fire snakes to the other side.
Then, a strange scene occurred.
Even though Gondola was very close to the fiery serpents and the thunderous booms were ringing out right next to their ears, the fiery serpents would be blown away in the end, and the danger would be averted.
It looked dangerous, but it was actually a perfectly normal operation. Gondola flew out of the lava pool without any problems.
At this time, everyone saw that something was wrong.
"You didn't use a scroll that increases luck, did you?" Bobota turned around and looked at the countless lava snakes in the lava sea. He couldn't believe what he was seeing.
How could such a terrifying fire snake fly out so peacefully? Even the flying vehicle wasn't damaged in the slightest?
"I'll be so happy if there's really a scroll that increases luck," Angor replied. He had been looking for such a scroll for a long time to prepare for the new power of the dream wasteland.
Bobota asked, "Then why is this happening? I keep having the feeling that there is an external force helping us. "
"The same thing happened to the mandy worm. When we were in danger, the volcano erupted. When the lava snake approached us, the gust of wind came. Maybe it's because you're close to the continent's consciousness? "Gregory guessed.
Angor shook his head. He did not know the exact reason. But he was sure that it was not a coincidence. There had to be some kind of power involved.
Was it the continent's consciousness, or was it the calling from afar?
Or could it be that the two were actually the same thing?
Angor had no idea. But he believed that the calling from afar was the work of someone who was calling him and helping him get rid of all the obstacles.
So who was calling him?
…
About half a day had passed since they set off.
Angor took out Toby from his chest pocket.
When Gregory and Bobota saw Toby, they both showed fear in their eyes. Gregory even pressed himself against the wall of the boat. This was completely different from when he didn't know about Toby's curse.
"S-Sir, why did you take Toby out?" Gregory asked in a trembling voice.
Angor didn't answer. Instead, he was thinking about whether the curse worked or not.
Most of the disasters caused by a curse were unexpected accidents. The mandy worm was an accident, but the fire serpent in the lava sea was not. Angor had a chance to escape.
But after walking for half a day, they had only encountered a single Ancient Mandy Worm. Did that mean that the Curse of Disaster had not taken effect? Or was it that most of the disaster was suppressed by the green runes on his "Forcefield"?
Angor decided to ask someone who knew about this.
He looked at Gregory, who immediately panicked. "Sir, put Toby down first. We need to talk."
"Can you ask Orucia if she can still feel the curse on Toby?"
Gregory was stunned for a second before he whispered to Olucia.
After a while, a gentle but clearly tired voice sounded from the Eye of Light. "The Curse of Disaster on Toby's body should have been suppressed, but the effect doesn't seem to be as good as the Curse of Ice because I can occasionally detect an obscure Aura of Disaster."
Of course it wasn't as effective as Freeze. Angor didn't know how to use the green runes on his "Forcefield" yet. Once he fully digested them, the effect would improve significantly.
"In other words, the Curse of Disaster won't trigger?"
"It's still leaking out, but not much. Something bad will happen occasionally, but it won't happen so often. " Orucia's voice grew softer and softer. "I'm sorry. I've used too much of my soul energy. I'll need to sleep for a while."
Soon, the Eye of Light went completely silent.
"Lady Orucia needs to break the seal on her Origin Flame to sense the curse on Toby. That's going to cost her a lot of soul energy," Gregory said while sneaking a glance at Angor. "Sir, should we remove the seal?"
"When Orucia wakes up, please say thank you for me."
The meaning was self-evident. Gregory pursed his lips and could only accept it.
However, Olucia had already confirmed that the curse on Toby's body had decreased a lot. This was a good thing. Although he would occasionally encounter bad things, it was better than constantly encountering bad things.
Angor put Toby back into his chest pocket and continued heading southeast on his Gondola.
Without the curse, they didn't run into anything dangerous along the way.
Even if they did, they always managed to escape unscathed in the end. This made everyone on Gondola feel a little more relaxed.
Bobota also took the chance to ask Angor about Dodoro.
Angor didn't tell Bobota much about Dodoro's background. He only told Bobota that he found Dodoro in Fairy World and that Dodoro lost his memories. Angor didn't hide anything about Dodoro's arrival in Brute Cavern.
While Bobota was asking about Dodoro, Angor was also secretly asking about something.
For example, the bones of Baiyuan people.
Yes, Dodoro was probably a Baiyuan person, and his tone was similar to Bobota's. However, there was one thing that made Dodoro different from Bobota and Floret Sparrow different — Dodoro had three extra segments on his tailbone.
Bobota replied, "I don't want to admit it, but Baiyuan people belong to the category of humans. In other words, humans. That's why I don't see any strange bones. "
Baiyuan people didn't have extra tailbones? Then what about Dodoro?
Angor pondered for a moment and created a small illusion of a silver bowl with the insignia of "Black Serpent" on the inside.
"Have you seen this bowl before?"
Bobota glanced at it. "What's wrong with it? I don't see anything special about it, but I think it's the emblem of the Serpent Kingdom, the former ruler of Zeal Dominion. "
The silver bowl belonged to Dodoro. According to Dodoro, the bowl was extremely important to him, so he left it in Angor's care.
At this moment, the bowl was lying quietly in his bracelet.
Angor didn't see anything special about it. But he couldn't understand why Dodoro valued it so much.
Since Bobota didn't see it before, Angor snapped his fingers and removed the illusion.
However, the moment the illusion disappeared, Bobota had a flash of inspiration in his mind.
When he regained his senses, Bobota couldn't tell what it was anymore.
At the same time, Gregory pointed to a spot in the distance. "Hey, there's something in the shadows. Is it a man-made structure?"
