Everyone, please bestow a few flowers upon me. At the very least, I am able to maintain my rank in the top 15 and almost fall off.
Werther asked, "What's the approximate range of perception for both parties to this Equal Contract?" The Silver Dragon scratched its head and said hesitatingly, "I have no impression of that. Generally speaking, it is a few thousand meters or so, but as both sides increase in strength, the range of perception will also gradually increase. With your strength, you should be tens of thousands of kilometers." Werther smiled. "Tens of thousands of miles?" That's enough! "How about this, I have some matters to attend to so you can go to the city. With your skills, you should be able to easily sneak in and wait for me there." The silver dragon nodded in agreement.
Hm." Werther took a deep breath. The chaos elemental energy in his body suddenly accelerated, releasing an astonishing earth-attribute elemental energy that spread all over his body. His body suddenly glowed with a golden light, as if he had donned a golden armor. The Silver Dragon stared dumbstruck at Werther's disappearance, a trace of bright saliva flowing from the corner of his mouth. Only after a long time did he mutter to himself in astonishment, "How did he condense such a powerful earth-attribute power?" Also, with this ability to freely travel through the earth, perhaps even an Earth Dragon wouldn't be able to do it, right? What a freak! As expected of the fellow who the gods think highly of! " Mr. Silver Dragon flew away from here in a jealous mood.
When Werther came to the underground, he could feel boundless earth energy. It was filled with all sorts of thoughts that struck at his mind, giving him a brand-new understanding of everything about the earth element, and even his comprehension of the great daos. Ever since he had discovered lava from the volcanoes beneath the Tigris Mountains, he had thought of using this place to survive the earth fire tribulation. Now that he had reached the Aurous Core stage and had absorbed a huge amount of ice element, he was only one step away from the Core Formation stage. He had to hurry and master the Immortal Soul stage before he reached the Core Formation stage, which would greatly increase his cultivation speed and efficiency. In order to reach the Immortal Soul stage, one had to refine the Yin Dregs within the True Spirits and attain the pure Yang stage. This meant that one had to go through the two major tribulations of Heavenly Lightning Earthen Fire. This was the best place to cross the Earth Fire Trial.
Werther dived all the way down, and with the transformation of his Chaos true energy into earth elemental energy, he felt as if he had turned into a lump of mud, able to freely travel underground. A huge amount of earth elemental energy was also gathering towards him, and was being absorbed by his golden body. Ten minutes later, he was already several thousand meters underground, and the earth fire aura was getting stronger and stronger. Without any hesitation, Werther continued to work hard to go downwards, all the way until he reached a depth of ten thousand meters. Suddenly, there was a burst of light, and in front of him appeared a huge magma river, with a strong and shocking heat blowing against his face. If not for the fact that Werther had cultivated to the fleshly body realm, his body's resistance surpassed any cultivators of the same level, and if not for the fact that he also had the continuous absorption and transformation of true energy, he would have been thoroughly burnt in one blow.
The area of the underground volcano was extremely vast. This wide magma river seemed to be very large, but in reality, it was only a small part of it. Werther revealed a happy expression. After a few hours of searching, Werther finally arrived at the entrance of the underground volcano. This volcano had a radius of several tens of thousands of miles, presumably including the entire Tigris Mountain Range. Perhaps the entire Tigris Mountain Range was formed because of this underground volcano.
Werther looked at the wide, outrageous crater of the volcano, and the boiling hot lava overflowing inside it. He was speechless for a while. "The Dwarves are really powerful, even after generations of people have lived on such a large, fixed keg of gunpowder, they are still willing to do whatever they want without the slightest intention of moving away. Such a huge volcano, once it erupts, even their Sovereign will not be able to save the Dwarves from perishing." I imagine the Dwarves have their own ways to prevent this from happening. " Werther could only think so.
At the highest point of the city, in a stone room reserved for elders, sat three old dwarves. One of them was the hammer that had just refused Werther. The other old dwarf was also the Dwarf's Great Elder and Second Elder. Mad Hammer pointed to a drink in front of them and smiled, "This is a drink I specially brought from the distant Northern Frontier. It can neutralize the heat of the Crimson Flame Battle Spirit. Try it." Their qi was also related to forging, and it was produced by absorbing the flame power. However, the extremes of life and death must be reversed, because excessive amounts of fire element were deposited in the body, and the imbalance between Yin and Yang would lead to a lot of side effects. Therefore, the dwarves would occasionally need to eat something cold to neutralize the side effects of the fire qi.
The two elders' eyes lit up. Taking a small sip of the cup, a refreshing feeling seeped into their hearts and souls, making them feel much more comfortable. Third Bro, do you have more? I'll bring some back to my little group. " Mad Hammer smiled strangely: "There is, there is still a lot! "I'll keep you as much as you want to drink!" The Second Elder laughed out loud. Mad Hammer suddenly pointed to something between the three and said, "Elders, we have spent a lot of effort to build this Skypiercing Pillar. Do you think we can really cure the hidden dangers of the underground volcano?" If Werther was here and saw the magic patterns engraved on it, he would know that this Skypiercing Pillar was the same as the Coiling Dragon Staff in his hand, both of which had been drawn with some kind of spatial magic spell formation.
The two elders were silent for a while, before the Great Elder said, "This Skypiercing Pillar was created by the full power of our dwarves. It is almost as powerful as a semi-divine tool. Using it to suppress the volcano should be foolproof." He was born with a head full of white hair, and his voice was also incomparably old. Mad Hammer said, "But how long will this be able to keep my clan safe for? As long as the underground volcano still exists, the danger of annihilation will follow us like a shadow. Although our generation can avoid disasters, what about future generations? "If there is any damage done to this pillar, our descendants will be killed!
Second Elder raised his eyebrows, "Third brother, what suggestion do you have? You might as well tell me. " The third elder said, "As everyone knows, our Dwarves have forged the best craftsmanship on the continent, and we have even won the favor of the gods. I don't know if you have ever thought about moving the Dwarves out of the Tigris Mountains, but with our extraordinary craftsmanship, we can definitely live a good life on the continent. Isn't it good to be able to save the future generations from danger? " The Great Elder's eyes lit up, but he did not say anything. The second elder said angrily, "Third brother, did you forget why we have been living here for generations? Our race was almost destroyed, and it was the imperial throne of Moradin that ordered us to settle here. Since the gods had issued an order, we must stay here, because the matter of migration is simply impossible! "
Mad Hammer's face also carried a bit of anger, his voice also became a bit louder, "Divine Spirit! A new round of war between the gods is about to begin. I think even His Majesty Moradin cannot take care of himself, so are you planning to hold onto this rule and ignore the dangers of extinction and hide here all this time? " The Second Elder jumped up and scolded: "Third Brother! Do you know what you're talking about! You are blaspheming the gods! Shut up! " Mad Hammer sneered, "I think the one who should shut up is you. If I knew earlier, you two old fogeys would not have agreed to my suggestion. Luckily, I still have a strong ally."
The grand elder's expression changed as he asked, "What do you mean?" Crazed Hammer laughed coldly, "A few years ago, the Emperor of the Kaiser Empire personally came over to persuade us to join the Kaiser Empire and forge weapons and armor for Kaiser. Did any of you forget that?" The second elder said angrily, "Third brother, I see that you have been roasted to a crisp today! Our ancestors had long prohibited us from participating in wars between humans. If there were any disturbances in the human world, not only would we not be able to provide them with weapons and armor, we would also have to seal ourselves in the mountains to prevent the war from affecting us.
Mad Hammer laughed coldly: "Really? But why do I feel that if there were any disturbances in the human world, the final victor would be the Kaiser Empire? "With the support of the Church of Light, they will definitely become the hegemons of the continent." The Grand Elder suddenly let out a sigh. Gloomily, she said, "Violent Hammer, after having said so much, have you secretly made a trade with the Kaiser Empire?" With that, the second elder's face turned pale with fright, "Third brother, is this true? How dare you trade with those madmen of the Kaiser Empire? You! Have you forgotten the teachings of your ancestors? "
Mad Hammer's face revealed a trace of violence, and coldly said: "I think you're the one that's hopeless. Holding on to the teachings of their ancestors and the orders of the gods, they just stood there and watched as the Dwarves sank down. If this continues, I'm afraid that we won't even be able to survive this god's war and will be wiped out! " The Second Elder pointed at him and said angrily, "You are crazy! This is crazy! " He was about to reach out to grab him when his expression suddenly changed and he collapsed to the ground. The Great Elder was shocked and quickly went to support him. However, he did not have the strength to do so and collapsed weakly.
Mad Hammer smiled proudly: "You two still don't know? I specifically added something special to the drink. This was something that the imperial mages of the Kaiser Empire had meticulously crafted, specially designed to deal with your Crimson Flame Dou Qi. After drinking it, you would be unable to control the Dou Qi in your body. "Haha!" The second elder's eyes were bloodshot: "You bastard!" What exactly do you want to do!? "
