Mystic Dominator

"What you said just now...you noticed it too?"

"On the bottom of the sea, this thing is not too difficult to see."

"If you kill this thing directly, do you think the underground thing will explode directly?"

"If I hadn't worried about that, I wouldn't have opened my mouth to remind you."

As if waiting for the dust in the underground space to dissipate, Ronald and Herbes were standing on a fairly flat ground and talking.

Speak slowly between questions and answers.

But anyone could hear how nervous they were now.

The problem that should have been solved quickly has now fallen into a very passive situation.

Whether it's Helbers or Ronald.

To deal with this strange underground plant, they can absolutely complete such a task alone.

After all, this is a plant without self-awareness.

After mastering the general rules of action, it is impossible for someone with a heart to be helpless even if they put in a little effort.

But the actual problem is that there is a crater hidden under this plant, and it is likely to be the source of energy for its survival.

If you pull this plant rashly...

It’s okay to say that there is no response, but if the underground volcano erupts directly under external stimuli, it is definitely not a problem that normal people would consider or are willing to face.

So after Ronald and Herbes communicated their opinions.

Miss Mermaid, who is more familiar with a similar environment, chose to investigate the situation to confirm the specific situation the two are now facing.

Keep a certain distance from the strange flowers.

She gently swept a piece of ground with her fingers, and then Hierbeth began to draw runes on the ground with her fingers. She didn't see any extra material she used, and almost transparent water stains appeared where her fingertips swept.

While carrying out his own actions, Herbeth asked Ronald at the same time:

"Wuling people, you just made a guess from the smell of this thing?"

"The pungent smell of sulfur is only part of it." Ronald nodded and admitted Helbeth's guess, while adding the source of his suspicions before, "When the two of us came up from below, we didn't pass through a section of thick material on the wall. Is it bright again?"

"That kind of thing is usually the trace left after the lava flows. At that time, I had some relevant guesses."

"…"

Hearing Ronald's answer, Hierbeth paused slightly with his rune-painted fingers.

"Wuling people, is there actually a study of volcanoes in your society?"

Ronald didn't want to answer the question hastily.

The mermaid in front of him could take out a flashlight from his pocket, which meant enough to make him think deeply. Now that the other party was interested in the study of volcanoes, he certainly didn't want to give up the opportunity to delve into the topic.

So after thinking for a few seconds, Ronald replied in a serious tone:

"The existence of volcanoes is not only related to the environment we live in, but may even determine the origin of life. Any civilization that looks far away should have the most basic understanding and research on it."

"…"

This time, Herbes was silent for an unprecedentedly long time.

It was not until the runes on the ground were completely drawn that she stood up and gave Ronald a serious look.

"If that's the case, then continue to stick to this path."

"Compared to the choice of wizards studying spells, the study of the nature of the laws of things is more suitable for the pace of a civilization's advancement."

The voice fell, and Miss Mermaid patted the ground with her tail.

A not so amazing magic power entered the rune on the ground with the action, and then the entire rune instantly melted into the ground, and disappeared in front of the two of them in a blink of an eye.

This scouting spell doesn't take much time.

In less than ten breaths, Hierbeth confirmed the situation under the ground, and then explained with a solemn expression:

"Wuling people, the situation is the same as we thought. This guy occupies the position of the crater and forms a delicate balance with the lower part. If it is pulled out now, the raging volcano will definitely erupt immediately."

With such a result, Ronald's eyes sank obviously.

Driven by a bit of luck in his heart, he continued to ask Helbeth a question:

"What is the size of this volcano below?"

Miss Mermaid seemed to misunderstand the tension on Ronald's face, so she replied in an almost comforting tone:

"Don't worry, this is not the kind of super volcano that will affect the entire planet's biosphere after it erupts, and something of that level can't be suppressed by just a single plant."

The worst result was denied first, and Helbes continued to add:

"But even so, the volcano is still a volcano. If it is allowed to erupt normally, the creatures in the area around this island will undoubtedly usher in a disaster."

"…"

Very tricky situation.

Ronald himself was confident that he could use spells to avoid the dangers of volcanic eruptions.

But what about the rest of the island?

The casters of Heloise, Claudia, and Springs, how many of these people can guarantee their own safety in the face of a natural disaster like a volcano?

Ronald can protect himself, but he is definitely not sure of rescuing the other companions on the island.

The strange flower in front of him may not have self-awareness and wisdom.

But using its own characteristics, it has reached a limit that is difficult to handle.

Destroy it, and the volcano erupts at your own risk;

If it is not destroyed, the ferocious typhoon will continue to rage, and sooner or later, the degree of harm will reach an unbearable level.

"Wuling people, do you want to be more cruel and direct? With the spellcasting level of a guy like you, there is no problem in escaping from a volcano of this level."

Herbes spoke again.

Once again, she misunderstood what Ronald was thinking, and analyzed the matter with a relatively simple idea.

In the face of Miss Mermaid's not malicious, but absolutely impossible advice.

A wry smile appeared on Ronald's face.

"If I could, I would like to deal with the problem so simply."

"But the actual situation now is that my companions are still on the island above my head, and I can't ignore their escape..."

"Um?"

Suddenly, Ronald raised his eyebrows.

Because at this moment, Claudia's communication appeared in his mind.

I don't know if it was the result of the damage to the monster flower itself that caused the shield to fail, or the result of the destruction of the underground space. In short, Ronald heard the urgent call from Claudia.

"Modeste, you and Mr. Connor also come to the center of the island together."

"There are so many monsters like this, it's really hard to deal with!"

"Don't wait for us, you go down to the ruins first!"

In the communication, it was the hurried and nervous voices of the companions.

Perhaps compared to Ronald in the underground space...

The people on the top of the island are the ones who are in the most difficult situation right now.
