Chapter 523
Before long, Ah Wang opened his eyes and pointed to a spot, saying, It seems to be over here.
Ah Xing reached out, and with a whoosh, an invisible vortex pierced through the molten lava like a drill. The terrifyingly hot red magma was pushed aside by some force, revealing the scene beneath.
However, there was nothing particularly noteworthy. Underneath the magma, it was still red and boiling. The high-temperature gases were disturbed, assaulting Su Hao and the others, but they were blocked by air bubbles.
Ah Wang closed his eyes to sense and furrowed his brow, saying in a low voice, Isnt it? Then try another spot
Ah Xings vortex immediately followed suit, another grab, clearing the magma, penetrating all the way to the hardened ground at the bottom layer, searching left and right, but finding nothing.
So the two continued, one pointing, the other clearing, searching for the core of the disaster, but time passed quietly, yielding no results.
Ah Xing glanced at Su Hao, who was still observing curiously, unable to resist leaning close to Ah Wang and whispering, Ah Wang, can you really do this? How many times have we tried and found nothing, and Ah Yang is still watching.
Ah Wang furrowed his brow, his voice low, Do you think its easy to find the core inside the magma? Be satisfied with a rough guess!
Ah Xing said, If we keep dragging this on, both of us will lose face.
Ah Wang retorted, Are you afraid of losing face? If you can do it, then go ahead!
Ah Xing replied, Come on, if you cant do it, dont expect me to!
After a while, the two were panting, seemingly exhausted. Ah Xing coughed and said, Ah Yang! The scope of the Henglian Mountain is too wide. Its not something we can find the core of the magma in a short time. Lets settle in the nearby villages for now and come back tomorrow to investigate. At the same time, we need to prepare for a long stay here for the task. I estimate it will take five or six days to find the core.
Ah Wang agreed, Thats right. Such tasks are thankless. They consume time and energy, and the rewards are not great.
Five or six days was a waste of time for Su Hao, but facing the source, his blood Qi radar was ineffective. If he had Divine Sense at this moment, it would be easy to search through this magma hell in minutes. The problem was he didnt have enough spiritual power now, and he was too lazy to spend time refining it. He was just waiting for Yashan and Fengcheng to quickly produce the spiritual power amplification drugs.
Su Hao thought for a moment and suddenly asked, Ah Xing, Ah Wang, based on your experience, does this kind of magma disaster spread outward from the core?
If the magma spread from the core, he could easily determine the approximate starting point by the flow position, direction, and time of the magma.
Ah Xing said, Im not sure about the specifics. Ive heard that disasters dont necessarily start from the core, but they will definitely be close to the core.
Ah Wang joked, Ah Yang, do you have a way to determine the starting point of the magma? contemporary romance
Instinctively, he knew this was impossible, and asking this question was more of a joke.
Unexpectedly, Su Hao nodded directly, I dare not think of an exact position, but a rough estimate is possible.
After saying that, he instructed Xiaoguang, Xiaoguang, collect data and reverse calculate the origin of the magma.
He manipulated the air cover to float higher and higher, then flew around the entire area filled with magma, collecting data.
Soon, Xiaoguang gave three suspected positions.
Su Hao returned to the two and informed them, According to my calculation, the approximate starting position of the magma is in these three places. Ah Wang, do you still have the energy? Investigate these three positions and see if we can find anything. If not, well go to the nearby villages to rest, okay?
They couldnt find the core after all that struggle, and yet they found it like this? They were skeptical, but they didnt want to dampen the enthusiasm of their new teammate.
Moreover, it was a good opportunity to teach Ah Yang what it means for something to look easy but be difficult to accomplish.
It was time to impart the lesson that reality is more complex than imagination.
Ah Xing and Ah Yang glanced at each other, seeing the amusement in each others eyes.
Ah Wang said, If were just looking for three places, thats manageable. Any more and its too much.
He also feared that after Su Hao checked the three places, he would still refuse to give up and continue to demand they investigate more, which would be annoying.
Ah Xing agreed, Thats right, three places are manageable. Well have to wait until tomorrow for more. Ah Wang, lets start with the first one!
Ah Wang said, Alright! Watch me.
After speaking, he took out a small box again, poured out a pile of small white balls, which Ah Xing shot into the corresponding positions. Then Ah Wang carefully investigated.
After a moment, Ah Wang opened his eyes and pointed to a spot, saying, Theres some unusual activity here, Ah Xing, try opening a passage from here.
Ah Xing grabbed, and an invisible air vortex plunged into the red-hot lava, clearing a path to reveal the dark ground.
Ah Wang exclaimed softly, took out a bead, shot it into the passage, and with a bang, it exploded, releasing a large amount of white light, illuminating the path cleared by the air.
Ah Wang pointed in amazement to a corner below, Ah Xing, what do you see there?
Ah Xing said, Let me retrieve it first.
With that, Ah Xing waved his hand, and the entire ground swelled up as if filled with a lot of air, squeezing out a large, round black object, exposed in front of the three of them.
Seeing its appearance, it was indeed a black ceramic jar.
Ah Xing and Ah Wang glanced at each other, at a loss.
Upon seeing this black ceramic jar, they immediately confirmed that it was the culprit of this disaster, the core!
The unique fluctuations emanating from it were unmistakably characteristic of the disasters core.
Su Hao looked at the black ceramic jar inside the passage and clearly sensed that unique fluctuation, curious, he asked, Is this the core?
The two looked at Su Hao again with an inexplicable expression.
Ah, its truly sad!
They ran all over the mountain, searched and explored in various ways, exhausted like anything, and yet found nothing. Unexpectedly, a newbie, floating around in the sky for a while, then told them he had roughly determined the position
Looking at his curious expression, so pure, so innocent, it made the two seniors feel so helpless.
Self-proclaimed as the two most handsome genius Origin Mages in Huai Shui Town, they were now deeply frustrated and had a hint of doubt about the path of Origin Mages: Am I really a qualified Origin Mage?
Ah Wang looked at Su Haos somewhat dark face again and suddenly felt so handsome! The ancestral whitening cream couldnt be sold no matter what.
Ah Xing swallowed hard, his expression complicated, If Im not mistaken, this is indeed the core! A pitch-black jar, appearing suddenly in the wilderness, who knows what its used to contain.
Anything could potentially become the core of a disaster, and this seemingly insignificant black ceramic jar was no exception.
Once it becomes the core of a disaster, it will continuously guide the special substances within it to release various disasters aimlessly. As long as the source in the core is not depleted, the disaster will not stop.
Su Hao asked, So, what should we do now?
Ah Xing composed himself and looked at the jar below, The first step, finding the core, is completed. The next step is to distinguish between the source and the trigger, then destroy the trigger, wait for the source to successfully condense, remove the source, and the disaster will be considered over. These large areas of magma around here can solidify and cool down in one or two days. The flames raging will gradually extinguish, and in a few years, this place will recover, with a few heavy rains enough to turn the ash into the best fertilizer.
Su Hao observed the black ceramic jar, trying to distinguish which part was the source and which part was the trigger, then speculated, I can sense that theres a constant special fluctuation emanating from the mouth of this black jar
He pointed to the mouth of the jar, Ive noticed that the magma churns more violently in the direction facing the mouth of the jar. So perhaps this mouth is the so-called trigger, and the body of the jar is the source. Of course, if theres something else inside the jar, it could be speculated that the jar itself is the trigger, and whats inside the jar is the source.'
Then he turned to ask, Ah Xing, is it like this, or is there another way to identify?
Ah Xing and Ah Wang glanced at each other again, internally surprised: What? There are special fluctuations emanating from the mouth of the jar? Why didnt I sense that? Could there be something wrong with my perception?
