"Wake up. Time to go." Angor patted Dankros' "face" with Hand of Spell.
In the end, Dankros accepted reality. However, his expression was clearly absent-minded and dejected.
"Sigh … Let's go." Dankros let out a long sigh, shook off the "bean sprout" who had fallen asleep again, and jumped into the lava lake in frustration.
Angor did not jump in right away. His body was only strong enough to stay in the lava for a short time. He would definitely get hurt if he tried to merge with the lava completely.
He summoned Elmi and had him form a shadow shield that isolated the high temperature and poisonous flames. Only then did he jump into the lava lake with Dankros.
The first thing they saw after entering the lava lake was a bright orange light.
They were surrounded by thick lava, so they could not see with their eyes. They could only use their energy vision to observe the surroundings.
However, the temperature outside was more than a thousand degrees. Even spirit feelers that reached out were burned a little bit.
The deeper they went, the higher the temperature became.
Angor considered. With Elmi's shadow barrier and Dankros' guide, they should be fine. He retracted some of his spirit feelers and kept them near the shadow barrier to avoid any nearby threats.
During their descent, Angor used his spirit feelers to sense the energy waves of many fire creatures. However, just like the outside world, no one dared to approach them except for Dankros' minions.
Speaking of Dankros' minions … Angor finally saw how powerful Dankros' minions were.
They had only swum a short distance of a few hundred meters, and more than ten flame spirits had already surrounded their "boss". Although Dankros kept hinting that it was busy and should not block the way, the next wave came not long after this wave left.
Angor and Toby were both surprised by the number of minions.
Dankros was a little annoyed to see so many minions coming, so he simply went into Elmi's shadow barrier.
Dankros felt a chill as soon as he entered the barrier.
"Is this the aura of Frost Yether?" Dankros turned his "head" around in confusion.
Angor grumbled, "Don't talk about Frost Yether every time. It's just a little bit of ice element released by Elmi. It's keeping the temperature inside the barrier down."
"Why lower the temperature?" Dankros was confused again. "I hate it the most. Isn't the temperature just right?"
"Do you think humans are the same as fire creatures?" Angor spent some time explaining the difference between elementals and humans.
Dankros nodded as if he had understood something. Then, he asked, "Sir, is the Elmi you're talking about … the wildcat that bloomed previously? Why can it use fire and ice elements? "
Angor really did not want to answer the questions. one after another.
At this moment, another group of fire elemental sprites swam over. It was obvious that they were Dankros' underlings. Dankros waved at them from behind the barrier and asked them to leave. "Mister Padt, you haven't answered my question yet."
Angor gave Dankros a meaningful look. "It's related to Elmi's secret. I can't just answer it."
Dankros' eyes dimmed a little.
"But if you can tell me how many minions you have, I can tell you some secrets."
"How many minions do I have?" Dankros felt dizzy as he saw a lot of numbers floating in front of his eyes. He could not figure out which one was real. "I … I think there are hundreds of them."
Hundreds of minions?! Angor's eyes widened. "Elemental spirits?"
"Most of them are imps. But there are also some adult elementals." Dankros nodded. "Why do you ask, Mister Padt?"
"Nothing. I'm just curious."
When Angor heard that Dankros had hundreds of minions, he immediately thought that there might be some suitable elemental companions among them.
If he could trick Dankros into leaving, he would have completed half of his mission.
However, he knew that he could not rush it. He had to wait until he heard from Feng before he could do anything.
"Can you take me to see your minions if you have the chance?" Angor calmed himself down and pretended that he did not mean it.
Dankros did not doubt Angor's words. Dankros was proud of the fact that he had many followers. Since Angor was curious about his followers, he did not reject Angor's request. Maybe he could show off his power in front of Kalomonkis' descendants.
Angor's expression softened a little after receiving Dankros' permission. He also told Dankros some information about Elmi.
When Dankros found out about Elmy's ability, which allowed it to possess almost all elemental forms, he was also shocked. He looked at Elmy with the same gaze as he looked at Toby, with more respect.
Before Dankros could ask more about Elmi, the lava outside suddenly became turbulent as if a great force was pushing waves toward them.
The shadow shield formed by Elmi also flashed with a few red lights at this time.
Inside the barrier, Blue Lantern sent a telepathic message to Angor. A giant elemental creature was approaching.
He reached out his spirit feelers and saw a giant lava whale about the size of an island slowly approaching them from a hundred meters away.
It was the lava whale that fought against Elmi earlier. It was called …
"Gulada?" At this time, Dankros also felt the fluctuations in the outside world. He leaped out of the shadow shield and flew to the side of the giant lava whale like a sharp arrow.
The lava whale stopped and seemed to be communicating with Dankros.
After a while, the giant lava whale gazed deeply in the direction of the eye mask with its eyes that were made of black flames. Then, it turned around and swam to the other side.
Dankros also returned to the barrier.
"It's Gulada. Just like Phoenix, it's here to look for Master Elmi." Dankrose said, "I told it that I was going to take you to see Teacher Magoo, and it left."
"Why is Gulada looking for Elmi?"
"I don't know. Maybe for a fight? But it doesn't seem like it. Phoenix's body burns with a special flame of war. He's passionate about fighting, but I've never heard of Gulada being fond of fighting. " Dankros was confused as well. However, Gulada did look aggressive just now, which was why Dankros went to persuade it.
Luckily, Gulada was a reasonable person.
Angor listened to Dankros' explanation and did not ask further. Through his spirit feelers, he saw Gulada looking at him before leaving. Somehow, Gulada didn't seem to want to fight at all.
Angor couldn't figure it out, so he put it aside for now.
"How far is this place from Teacher Magoo that you mentioned?" After diving for another five hundred meters, he noticed that the "tentacles" around him were getting denser and denser. From what he could see, he could see tens of thousands of tentacles hidden in the lava, which meant he wasn't far from his destination. That was why he asked this question.
Dankros flew out of the shadow barrier and circled around for a while before returning to the shadow barrier. "It's down there."
…
After diving for another hundred meters, Angor finally saw the bottom of the lava lake.
A large number of elemental creatures were swimming around in a large basin. He even saw the giant tortoise he saw at the lava lake.
However, even though the tortoise was bigger than Gulada, it was still much smaller compared to Magoo's body.
This was because Magoo's body had completely occupied the endless basin.
All elemental creatures actually lived on Magoo's body.
Magoo's true form looked like a giant red jelly.
However, it was a red jelly with a lot of tentacles growing on it. Thanks to the jelly, he could tell that this was Magoo's real body.
They slowly landed on the surface of the basin. As soon as they touched the ground, he felt a soft ripple coming from the ground. The ground felt soft and light to his feet.
It felt more like jelly.
"That's Professor Magoo." Dankros pointed at the ground and said.
Angor pondered for a moment. "Isn't it inappropriate for us to step on Mr. Magoo's body like this?"
Dankros used the red jelly ground as a trampoline. After jumping a few times, he asked in confusion, "Why is it not good?"
"Isn't it disrespectful?"
"Why would it be disrespectful? Professor Magoo likes us to live on his body too. "Dankros still didn't understand Angor's meaning.
Angor didn't say anything. He knew this was a difference in values.
At this moment, an aged voice echoed in their ears, "Guest, welcome to my place."
The familiar voice reminded Angor that it was Magoo's teacher.
"Dan Gross, bring the guests to my place … Hmm, let's go to the classroom." After he finished speaking, the red jelly under their feet slowly opened up.
Angor could clearly see a long staircase inside the opening. He didn't know where it led to.
Dankros hopped onto the stairs. Angor hesitated for a moment before following him into the hall.
As soon as he stepped inside, Angor felt the pressure from the lava disappearing without a trace.
There was no lava in the tunnel. Even the temperature of the flames was lowered.
"Is this inside Mr. Magoo's body?" Angor asked curiously.
Before Dankros could answer, Magoo's voice came from the tunnel. "Yes. This path leads to my elemental core."
It sounded like Magoo was answering Angor's question, but there was no need for him to mention the elemental core at the end of the tunnel. The core was the most important thing for any elemental creature. But he still did it. In Angor's opinion, it was a friendly gesture.
Magoo noticed Angor's hesitation when entering the tunnel. It was probably due to distrust, so he voluntarily told Angor the location of the elemental core to appease Angor's distrust.
Magoo might not be telling the truth, but it still improved Angor's impression of him a lot.
As they walked down the long tunnel, Angor saw many "rooms" along the way. Most of them were occupied by elemental creatures. Some of them even leaned on the windows and chatted with Dankros.
There were also elemental creatures walking through the tunnel, which gave Angor the illusion that they weren't inside Magoo's body. Instead, they were in a lively residential area.
After turning left and right, Dankros brought Angor to a door.
"Is this the classroom Mr. Magoo mentioned?" Angor looked at the door made of unknown flames and asked curiously.
Dankros shook his head. "No. This is my secret base."
Your secret base? Angor looked at Dankros in confusion. Didn't he say he was going to see Magoo? Why did he come here?
Soon, Angor got his answer.
Dankros pushed open the door and dawdled inside for a while. Then, he took out a flower surrounded by dark green flames.
Angor's eyes glowed when he saw the flower. Using Narda's Vision, he immediately obtained information about the flower.
Ancient Emerald Flame.
It was called "flame", but it wasn't actually a flame. It was a type of magical plant that bloomed in an area rich in fire energy.
The Ancient Emerald Flame could be used to make intermediate or advanced potions, while the Emerald Flame could be used in Tooling. It was a top-level flame neutralizer.
The Ancient Emerald Flame was very rare in the outside world. Angor once tried to buy it as a neutralizer, but he failed. He didn't expect to find one here.
Dankros carefully took the Ancient Emerald Flame out of his secret base and presented it to Angor.
"For me?" Angor asked.
Dankros quickly jumped away and waved his index finger. "This is my gift to the ancestors of Kalomonkis."
Angor slowly pulled his hand back.
Dankros looked at Toby with an affectionate gaze.
Toby jumped down from Angor's head and circled around the Ancient Emerald Flame.
Dankros excitedly presented the flower to Angor.
Toby didn't want to accept it at first, but he sensed that Angor wanted the flower. Toby hesitated and slowly accepted it. He then chirped at Dankros to express his gratitude.
When Dankros saw that Toby had accepted the challenge, he excitedly shouted a few times and praised Kalomonkis with all sorts of words.
Angor could tell that Dankros came all the way to the secret base to give Toby the flower to gain Toby's approval.
Angor had no idea what Toby's approval was.
After this small interlude, Dankrose continued to act as a guide. He praised them excitedly as he led them to the classroom where Magoo was …
