The only good thing about the shockwave was that it dispelled the smoke in the air, allowing Angor to see the lava lake clearly even though he was standing on a cliff several kilometers away.
The lava lake was already reacting to the explosion.
The magma continued to churn, and from time to time, it would explode, shooting out a large number of fire pillars like a fountain.
And as time went by, more and more fire pillars appeared. The energy in the lava lake was already unstable, and now it was showing signs of chaos.
The situation was developing in a direction he didn't want to see the most.
Angor rubbed his temples. He only wanted to get some information about the Tidal Realm, but he didn't expect that he would end up like this.
"Tweet, tweet, tweet." Toby's little head popped out of his chest pocket. His red eyes reflected the dancing flames, and the Fire Element energy began to gather around him unconsciously.
Angor noticed that Toby was absorbing the fire energy, but he didn't stop it. Toby was in the form of fire, so it was normal for it to absorb fire energy.
Angor was more concerned about the lava lake's future development. "If it keeps going like this, I'll have to leave for now."
Despite that, he was still waiting for something to happen.
There were so many elemental creatures in the lava lake. They wouldn't just let the lava lake be destroyed, would they? Of course, he also knew that no matter how big the changes in the Lava Lake were, it was still the home ground of fire. For fire type creatures, it probably would not pose any threat to their lives.
Still, if something happened to their home, the residents would surely react, right?
Another half a minute passed. The lava lake was boiling even more violently. The fire pillars had turned into tornadoes of fire, which were spreading in all directions.
The fire disaster was about to happen.
In Angor's vision, a large number of bean sprouts began to rise into the air. These bean sprouts reached a height of a hundred meters and began to weave together like a dense net.
The moment the "net" was completed, it began to slowly press down.
The moment the net touched the flames, the restless energy, and the fire snakes all had their souls sucked out of them, and they slowly calmed down.
When the "net" reached the ground, the boiling lava lake began to cool down.
Angor sighed in relief. Fortunately, the natives of Lava Lake did not allow the disaster to develop.
Furthermore, although they had caused a huge commotion this time, it was not as if they had gained nothing. Judging from the current situation of the lava lake, some of his speculations were confirmed.
The bean sprouts weaved to form a net. Such a delicate operation would be difficult for multiple elemental creatures to complete. It could only be done by a single elemental creature.
In other words, his guess was right. The bean sprouts all over the lava lake actually came from an elemental creature.
However, there was another possibility, which was that it was a group intelligence. This was the unique behavior of ants, bees, and other creatures. Their control was distributed, and groups were self-organized. That was why they could weave such a perfect net. However, he had never heard of such a case among elemental creatures, so he decided not to consider it for now.
This information was crucial for his future exploration. That was because an existence that could easily eliminate this disaster was definitely not to be underestimated. If they wanted to continue exploring the center of the Land of Fire, they had to avoid it as much as possible.
As the lava lake calmed down, the surrounding energy also began to return to normal. Everything seemed to be progressing well.
The only pity was that the intelligent elemental spirit that could communicate with Angor was killed.
It was a pity that the spirit had a screw loose in its head. It did not know what was going on before it decided to destroy everything.
Unbeknownst to him, a small fireball quietly fell into the lava lake from the sea of fire he was not looking at.
"That stupid furball died pretty quickly, but I still got some information," Angor muttered a few names.
Frost Yzert. This was the first name that the furball mentioned. Angor did not know what it was, but the word "frost" in front suggested that it was an ice creature.
Since Elmi used the frost energy to freeze the furball, it was only natural that the furball would think so.
Since the furball mentioned its real name, this Frost Yzert was probably one of the strongest ice creatures. Could it be an Ice Monarch?
Angor recalled that there was indeed a picture of an ice creature in the Tidal Realm map. It was a humanoid creature with white hair and a frosty cloak and a glazed crown. It was the Blizzard Queen.
Frost Yzert was very likely to be the Blizzard Queen.
Angor tried to recall the map. The Blizzard Queen's territory was quite far away from the Fire Domain. There were several regions in between.
Speaking of human civilization, there were several countries in between. But the two farthest countries were hostile to each other? It would not be easy to start a war.
Even if the land was frozen, the countries in the middle would not complain.
As expected, the furball was just an idiot.
Apart from Frost Yzert, Angor also paid attention to another name, Fiery Midier, which the furball mentioned.
It seemed that the furball did not like Fiery Midier, but it still wanted to inform Midier about the spy because Midier was the new king.
Would the new king be the Fire Sovereign King of this region?
Was it the Blackfire Monkey on the map? If that was the case, how strong was it?
Angor was curious about Fiery Midier because the furball did not hesitate to self-destruct as soon as it told Angor that it was going to deliver the message.
The self-destruction of an elemental would completely destroy the intelligence of an elemental creature. However, the furball was confident that it would be able to deliver the message as soon as it self-destructed.
If Fiery Midier really did deliver the message, Angor would soon run into the new king if he stayed here any longer.
Now, Angor was wondering if he should run away for now.
The so-called spy incident was purely a misunderstanding. He could explain, but he did not know what kind of person the new king was. What if the new king was just an idiot?
It would be fine if he was just a simpleton, but if Magical Fire Midier was even more powerful, then it would be very troublesome.
His Stealth skill would not work here.
Angor considered for a moment and decided to leave some scouting puppets to check on Fiery Midier first.
With that in mind, Angor took out his scouting puppets and returned to the tunnel.
However, he suddenly sensed someone's gaze on him.
Was I discovered? Angor wasn't surprised. However, the stare gave him a sense of threat.
Angor slowly looked up at the lava lake in the distance.
In the lava lake in the distance, a giant covered in blazing flames had appeared out of nowhere.
The giant's head was the only thing visible, but it was already as big as a small building. Normally speaking, the giant's true body would be at least a hundred meters tall.
At this moment, the flame giant's gaze was locked onto him.
There was no emotion in its gaze. Angor could not see any hostility or kindness. However, the giant did not show up when Angor was at the lava lake. Now, it was staring at him.
Angor did not believe that the giant only showed up to show its face.
As they stared at each other, the giant's upper body slowly floated to the surface of the lake. It leaned forward and placed its hands on the edge of the lake while still staring at Angor. Without a doubt, Angor was already its target.
Judging from the threatening look, Angor knew that the giant wasn't weak at all.
The giant might not be able to defeat Angor in a fight. However, it would not be easy for Angor to defeat it.
Besides, this was the giant's home ground.
Angor considered for a moment and decided to open the door to retreat. Even if he had to fight, he would try to stay away from the center of the fire.
However, before he could open the door, he sensed something approaching him from the ground.
Angor reacted quickly. With a tap on the ground, he retreated more than ten meters away and floated in the air in front of the cliff.
At the same time, on top of the cliff, a dark purple flame spewed out from the ground. The flame blasted a giant hole in the dry, scorched ground.
As the flame fell, Angor saw a pair of dark green eyes.
This was the second time Angor looked into the eyes. Last time, he saw them through the vision of the Scout Puppet. Back then, the eyes were cold and emotionless. But this time, Angor could see the desire to fight.
Dark Flame Werewolf.
The elemental creature that wandered around the lava lake suddenly appeared on the cliff in front of Angor.
It was still hunched over, and its hands were almost touching its knees. However, its head was held high. The dark flames on its fur and the green flames in its eyes combined to create a murderous aura.
When it was ready to kill, it touched the ground with both hands and legs and stomped on the ground. Then, it charged at Angor like a burning bomb.
Angor already knew that the Dark Flame Werewolf could move as fast as the speed of sound when on all fours.
In the blink of an eye, the Dark Flame Werewolf reached Angor's height.
Angor could see the Dark Flame Werewolf smiling viciously as it swung its fiery claws at Angor's face.
However, a pure white shadow suddenly appeared in front of him before it could reach him.
The claws didn't touch Angor. Instead, they touched the ice shield created by Evil Deed's white shadow.
The purple flames were quickly extinguished by the Ice Shield.
At the same time, a terrifying frost aura spread from the Ice Shield and quickly froze the Dark Flame Werewolf's claws.
The frost was still spreading.
The Dark Flame Werewolf saw this and cut off one of his arms without hesitation. He then used the force of the flames from the severed arm to do a backflip and land on the cliff.
When the Dark Flame Werewolf landed on the ground, new flames began to burn on its severed arm, which quickly regenerated a new pair of claws.
This was one of the characteristics of elemental creatures. Unless there was some kind of elemental energy that could counter an elemental creature's elemental energy, it could not be completely destroyed. As long as there was a tiny bit of elemental essence left, it would not die.
The Dark Flame Werewolf recovered quickly, but Elmi was not going to stay still.
The blue light above Elmi's head flickered, and a terrifying frost aura began to spread out around him. The frost aura was much stronger than the fire energy in the outside world, and it created a domain of ice and mist.
This was Elmi's awakened talent, which allowed him to forcefully change his environment.
The Dark Flame Werewolf could not utilize its geographical advantage in such an environment.
Even though the Dark Flame Werewolf's purple flames were as powerful as wizards, they were still suppressed by the frost aura. Coupled with Elmi's great strength, the Dark Flame Werewolf could not resist at all and was turned into an ice sculpture.
With that done, Elmi returned to Angor's side. Instead of deactivating his Frost Domain, Elmi turned around and stared at the flame giant in the distance with its vertical pupils.
The flame giant already had its hands on the edge of the cliff when Elmi froze the Dark Flame Werewolf. When Elmi turned around, the flame giant pushed its body up and jumped out of the lava lake. It then rushed toward Angor with great force.
In the blink of an eye, the flame giant was already above Angor.
Angor looked up and saw the giant's shadow blotting out the sun. He also saw a fiery fist coming at him like a meteor.
It was already too late for Angor to open the door.
Moreover, Elmi also rushed forward at this time. He directly created a huge curved ice shield to meet the flaming fist.
Ice and fire collided head-on in an instant.
