Chapter 266

Another world.

The other end of the space-time passage is on a hill several kilometers away from sigma volcano.

An elf stood at the top of the cliff on the top of the mountain, watching with binoculars the distant mountains still spewing thick smoke, like a lava hell, silent.

This elf is wearing a black protective suit, heavy insulation cloth covered with traces of volcanic ash, and his head is wearing a precise helmet type gas mask, which has a magic flash, and can filter out most of the dust and toxins.

Behind him, there are more than a dozen armed soldiers and three specially modified magic armored vehicles patrolling back and forth. These soldiers are on guard seriously, observing the situation around, protecting the safety of the spirit standing on the cliff.

Soon, with the roar of the magic engine, another armored car arrived at the hillside with the rolling smoke, and a silver haired and purple eyed elf got out of the car. He was escorted down to the top of the mountain by several tall soldiers.

It seems that due to several rainstorms, a lot of ash has settled around sigma volcano, and the air quality is normal, so the silver haired elves and other soldiers did not wear gas masks. After they contacted the soldiers on patrol, a soldier who seemed to be the guard chief took the silver haired elves alone to the cliff, He came behind the spirit who was observing the volcano, bowed respectfully and said, "chief commander, director Lola of the technology department is here."

"Thank you so much."

The anti-virus mask moved slightly, but there was no expression. It seemed that he had noticed this. The elf, known as the great commander, took off the mask on his head and showed his face behind him.

This is a middle-aged elf with red hair. He looks very tired and has obvious wrinkles at the corners of his eyes. Compared with the appearance above the standard of the whole people, the commander is not ugly. However, he has a kind of inexplicable momentum that people can't help but want to believe him. Facing Lola, who seems to be a little nervous and restrained, He patted each other on the shoulder with a smile: "don't be nervous, Lola. I know you. You are the youngest director of the Institute in the technology department, the winner of last year's golden feather award, and the youngest expert in alien zoology."

"You're here because you're capable, so there's no need to be nervous."

"... thank you, commander."

Hearing these words, Lola seemed calm. After taking a deep breath, he bowed to the middle-aged elf in front of him.

The presence in front of us is the supreme leader holding the military and political power of the Gulf Federation. It is also a great person who opened a new era, led the federal army to completely defeat the last Elven Dynasty 70 years ago, and liberated the whole continent of irgana from ignorance.

Although magic declined gradually, the new magic technology gained new vitality because of his advocacy. Under the leadership of the great commander, the Federation gradually prospered and entered an unprecedented golden age.

Any spirit, when facing him, will bow from the heart to salute, this is his own, worthy of glory.

"Well, we don't talk much nonsense. Come on, have a look."

Calmly looking at each other bowing, the commander shook his head, and then handed the telescope to Lola: "the target is area 73 at 11 o'clock, above the lava canyon."

"You see, what the hell is that guy going to do?"

After taking the telescope, Laura played with it for a while to focus, then put it in front of her eyes and looked into the distance according to the direction of the commander-in-chief.

Today, the dense jungle on sigma volcano has been turned into coke and fly ash, and the terrain has changed completely. There are many temporary cliffs and crevices on the peak. In area 73, just above a canyon flowing with golden red lava, Lola saw that.

It's a huge, suffocating monster.

In the lens of the telescope, the monster with a black body is walking slowly in the lava. Its smooth curve body and limbs contain powerful explosive force. Its whole body is covered with black crustaceans and huge spines. It is so strong that it can't be destroyed even by the high temperature of thousands of degrees. Above its head, two huge dragon horns stand up, The flame element flows on it like a ripple, and under the Dragon horn, there are a pair of red and golden eyes that seem to be burning, containing incomparable courage.

In this monster's chest, there is a core like the sun. To see it, it's like to see a small volcano, in which there is an invisible flow of light.

It seems to sense that someone is peeping. The monster carelessly glances at the direction of the silver haired elf, then turns his head and continues to walk in the lava.

"So strong... This feeling is totally irresistible."

Lola, who was scared to sit on the ground just now, stepped back and covered his heart with one hand. His purple eyes were full of fear. He murmured to himself, "it's too huge. It's bigger than the data. The visual inspection has exceeded 30 meters. Is it the previous observation error?""No, during this time, it's getting bigger."

The voice of the great commander came from behind Lola. The red haired ELF's voice was a little heavy: "see the core of the chest?"

"Naturally."

The young biologist nodded, then calmed his beating heart and continued to use the telescope.

Then came the cry of surprise: "wait, this core, it's drawing magma - no, fire? Directly absorb the power of elements with the body, or fire elements? "

"It's incredible to have such a strong body!" Lola's tone was full of surprise and fear: "in this way, a slightly weaker weapon will not be of any use to this monster. It can even absorb those weak attacks completely!"

"Yes." The commander nodded. He looked at the volcano in the distance with a long look: "unlike those monsters, it has a high affinity for magic. It can grow up by absorbing magic elements. In just one day, it will grow up a lot."

"Yes, although it's almost magic immune, it's different from those monsters that cut off magic. It's caused by too much affinity, and it's called Dragon..."

He nodded thoughtfully, and Lola said in a slightly nostalgic voice: "in 785, the Federation published the complete book of fantasy, myth and biology, It was in this book that I first saw this word, and it was because I fell in love with this book in my childhood that I started to study strange creatures. "

Then he raised his telescope and looked at the monster bathing in lava and walking in the volcanic area at will. The silver haired elf nodded with approval: "the dragon of volcano? It's as like as two peas in the book. Is it not fantasy and myth that is recorded in the book? Is the Dragon really there

"All myths and legends have archetypes. Today's myths are not necessarily the real history of that year. It's just that they are so far away that everyone has forgotten them."

As if with some emotion, the commander was silent for a while, then shook his head and said with a smile: "since Director Laura is here, the task of observing the daily activities of this creature is up to you. After all, I am not a professional, and the information collected by other special teams is not perfect. I hope you, as a biologist, can analyze something new from its actions."

"My pleasure."

When he got to the field he was good at, Laura was confident. He picked up the telescope and carefully observed the situation in the distance.

The hill here is less than five kilometers away from sigma volcano, which is not far at all. The magma and mud rain caused by the last volcanic eruption have completely changed the original shape of the mountain peak, and the rock cliff they stood on is also newly formed.

For that kind of giant beast, a distance of several kilometers is just a few minutes. Observing from this distance, you can find many details, but it is also very dangerous.

But Lola didn't care. His dream was to look for and observe any strange creatures up close, which was dangerous for him. Even without the instructions of the commander, the silver haired elves would find a way to come here.

Although it knows that someone is paying attention to itself, the giant beast doesn't seem to be interested in this group of tiny existence. It just walks back and forth in area 73 and area 75, and seems to be looking for something. The volcano dragon roars from time to time, causing the surrounding fire elements to explode violently and produce violent explosion, This action made all the soldiers near Shiya alert, but it didn't have any follow-up action, still just walking.

However, just observing such a little time, Lola has got a lot of information.

"Slender body, similar to sea snakes, wings do not seem to be fully developed, should not be able to fly."

"It seems that it's more suitable for swimming than running. The tail is very strong, and the driving force in the water is very huge, but it can only be used as a weapon on shore, or it's a burden."

"Just from the shape of the body, it seems to be an aquatic species."

At this point, he couldn't help frowning, as if feeling some contradiction. "But it can manipulate fire elements... Well, yes, it lives in volcanoes, and should be active in lava and hot springs. It doesn't conflict."

After all, it's the dragon of volcano. It can't live in lava. Lola continued to put on the telescope and use the above magic to focus and enlarge: "body shape, limb shape... But there are some characteristics of horses. It's estimated that the running speed is at least 70 km / h by visual observation - because it's a magical species, Its ultimate speed cannot be predicted. "

One message after another was summed up, but Lola was really puzzled: "strange, this way of action... Seems to be really looking for something.""What is this dragon looking for?"

It's about finding the way home, of course.

Unable to find his target, the black dragon roared up to the sky angrily, and the waves of fire elements swept the hot lava and spread in all directions. In the distance, Lola and Da Tongling suddenly felt the pressure from the ancient wilderness and the top of the food chain, They watched in amazement as the volcano dragon, which was only walking slowly, leaped up and ran towards the distance faster than the gale.

Just a few seconds later, the other party's figure disappeared in the smoke and dust it raised.

Different from Lola, who was still in fear, the chief commander on one side responded quickly. He picked up the communicator in his hand and said in a fierce voice: "I'm the chief commander, Urken ulanor. In my name, I'll issue the No.1 warning order immediately!"

"The powerful creature code named volcano dragon has separated from sigma volcano and is marching in the direction of..."

For the first time, the stern face of the great commander showed a trace of fear. He said quickly in a trembling voice: "Babel, the provincial capital city."
