Chapter 2167 Fire Butterfly

Angel walked forward for several thousand meters. In addition to the six-tailed fox before, he saw another Cosi fire salamander emerging from the magma.

However, this Cosi fire salamander only showed its head, looked around, and quickly dived into the orange-red magma and never appeared again.

Angel always felt that this Cosi fire salamander glanced over here before lurking in the magma.

Could it be discovered?

"Shouldn't it?" Angel muttered secretly. His whole body was covered by the Nightmare Node, and all the residual pheromones were deliberately erased. Even the True Knowledge Wizard might not be able to find his trace. The Cosi fire salamander did not look like a wizard level, so how could it be possible to discover him.

Maybe he thought too much. Angel shook his head, did not go into it, and continued to move forward.

Along the way, Angel could see one or two unique elemental creatures every few thousand meters, but he did not disturb them, just bypassed them.

But this half-day trip has already made Angel feel a lot.

You know, in the general records of the wizard world, it is clearly recorded that it is very difficult for elemental life to be born in nature. It must meet the extreme environment, the coincidence of luck, and the concentration of elements in this area is enough to support the consumption of elemental life. These three conditions are indispensable.

This is different from the fire creatures that Angel encountered in Duoling Garden. At that time, he encountered the elemental energy of Reeves, not the power of nature. This kind of acquired elemental creatures also has some of Reeves' elemental properties. For this reason, Angel did not choose to capture those fire creatures at that time.

In this area, the fire creatures that Angel encountered were undoubtedly all born naturally.

In the outside world, a volcanic area can meet the birth of one or two elemental creatures, which is already very good. But here, even if so many fire creatures are bred, the power of the fire element is still so sufficient, as if it has never been consumed.

Such a place is simply unimaginable in the outside world.

In sighing, Angel came to a crack in the ground. This crack in the ground is different from the previous ones. It can almost be called a "gorge". It is about ten meters wide. A lot of gray-black smoke comes out of the crack in the ground. Looking down through the smoke, you can see the bright orange lava river.

The temperature of the lava river is extremely high, and the space above the crack in the ground is distorted by the heat. Not only that, Angel standing next to the crack in the ground can clearly see a lot of ground flames rushing up from the lava river and rushing straight into the sky.

Compared with the ground flames encountered before, it is even more terrifying.

Ordinary apprentices who come here, even if they have flying vehicles, I am afraid they dare not fly across.

However, for Angel, although these ground flames are terrible, they can't cause much harm to him. His reaction speed is enough to exceed the speed of the ground flame impact.

Thinking of this, Angel directly stepped on the ground and flew over the crack.

After dodging five ground flame impacts in a row, Angel successfully reached the other side of the crack in the ground.

After landing, Angel did not continue to move forward, but turned his head and looked at the long orange river flowing in the crack in the ground.

"Something is wrong. Even if the ground flames are frequent, they shouldn't spray at me five times in just ten meters, right?" Angel could feel that the previous ground flames were very abnormal, as if they were deliberately targeted.

Could it be that an elemental creature in the lava river discovered him? But he had clearly concealed his breath from beginning to end.

Or was it really just a coincidence that the ground flames sprayed at him five times in a row?

Angel thought about it and decided to try again. He did not choose to fly this time, but just took a step forward and hung in the air above the crack in the ground.

Boom boom boom

Three consecutive loud noises erupted from the lava river. Three ground flames rushed directly towards Angel with the shining high-temperature magma.

"Is he really being used as a target?" After dodging the impact of the ground flame, Angel retreated to the edge of the ground fissure and shouted, "Ermi!"

As the voice fell, the shadow on the ground turned into a boiling black swamp and surged up. After a while, the outline of a head with blue lanterns emerged from the shadow. It was Ermi!

Ermi raised his head and looked over with his scarlet eyes. Even though Angel had not given the order, Ermi had already understood.

Ermi shrank and turned into a shadow again. Like an arrow from a string, he flew along the edge of the ground fissure towards the lava river below.

When he came to the sky above the lava river, the black shadow turned bright red, like a boiling blood flame, plunging into the magma with surging bubbles.

Half a minute later, dozens of ground flame impacts broke out in the lava river, each reaching a height of dozens of meters.

But soon, the power of the ground flame impact gradually weakened, and the number was also decreasing.

Two minutes later, Ermi flew out of the lava river, quickly returned to the side of the crack, and merged into Angel's shadow.

After Ermi entered the shadow, he slowly poked his head out of the shadow.

The next second, Ermi opened his mouth, and a fire butterfly with bright orange body flew out of his mouth.

"Is this the elemental creature that set off the earth flames before?" Angel asked in a low voice.

Ermi nodded, and the blue light flower on his head shook, and ripples with thoughts and information were transmitted to Angel's mind.

Ermi sent over the memory of him chasing the fire butterfly in the magma.

The fire butterfly in the picture has almost merged with the surrounding magma. Every time it flaps its wings, a spiral fire element impact flies towards Ermi, and Ermi transfers these fire element impacts upwards, forming the ground flame column that reached the sky before.

"It really did it." Angel looked at the fire butterfly again.

After the fire butterfly was spewed out from Ermi's mouth, it showed no fear at all. It even hovered around the blue lantern flower and landed on it. It seemed quite leisurely.

After observing it for a while, Angel understood why the fire butterfly was so fearless.

Because, this fire butterfly... is an elemental elf.

Elemental elves are also elemental creatures. The reason why they are called elves is that they were born very young and belong to the larval stage of elemental creatures. Elemental creatures in the larval stage are basically small, naughty, and cute, just like elves.

This fire butterfly is such an elemental creature in the larval stage.

This kind of elemental elf is always fearless, just like what Jon taught him when he was a child: a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger.

It doesn't care what the consequences of the ground flame impact will be, nor does it care who sprays it, it just does it anyway.

Even if it was captured by Ermi, it was not too scared, and was still curious about the blue lights on Ermi's head.

Ignorant and fearless.

Angel looked at this elemental elf and didn't know what to say.

Elemental creatures have a certain degree of intelligence, but most elemental elves have low IQs and act completely on instinct. This fire butterfly is one of the unintelligent ones. Even if Angel wanted to ask this fire butterfly, he would not get any response.

However, precisely because of the low IQ of the elemental elves, Angel could roughly guess that the fire butterfly's ground flame impact on him before should not be intentional, it was probably instinct.

Fire elves are basically naughty.

When Angel was in Silent Hill, he was caught by Bogula and fell into a short coma. During the coma, the fire elves kept in the fireplace by Bogula would pull his hair from time to time, burning his golden hair into pieces. These fire elves did not really want to attack Angel, they were just being naughty.

It can be said that the fire elves are the most typical bear children among the elemental elves.

Based on its identity, Angel can understand the bear behavior of this bear child attacking him inexplicably; however, what he does not understand now is another thing.

"How did it find me?"

Because of its IQ, the fire butterfly certainly cannot answer this question. However, after thinking about it, Angel actually has two biggest possibilities.

The first is that this fire butterfly has special detection ability, it can find Angel hidden in the illusion.

The second is not that the fire butterfly is special, but that this tidal world, this area, or the elemental creatures here have universal insight.

The first situation is fine, only the fire butterfly can see it; but if it is the second situation, then all the elemental creatures he met before have actually discovered him?

Angel thought of the Cosi fire salamander he saw before. It poked its head out of the magma and looked around, and finally looked in his direction, and then slowly lurked... Angel felt vaguely strange at the time. Now thinking about it, could it be that this Cosi fire salamander actually saw him, so it hid?

"It's really possible." Angel pinched his eyebrows in distress. He also said that he hid his body to explore intelligence. If the fire creatures can really detect him, let alone explore intelligence, it is estimated that his own intelligence has been transmitted.

Angel sighed: "Forget it, don't think about it for now." Just pretend that he was not discovered and continue to move forward. When you meet a fire creature again, you can try it again.

After determining the next policy, Angel looked at the fire butterfly resting on the blue lantern again.

How to deal with this fire elf?

The deep meaning of this question is: should we release it or capture it?

Before Angel came to the Tide Realm, he had in-depth research on the information of elemental creatures. Elemental creatures are very useful for a wizard. They can not only assist in practicing elemental magic, but also use the elemental creatures as a medium for casting spells to quickly release powerful attacks. Moreover, if the elemental creatures are well cultivated, they are also a powerful fighting force.

It can be said that as a formal wizard, the partner of elemental creatures is indispensable.

And how to choose an elemental creature that suits you?

Putting aside the artificially cultivated elemental creatures, simply talking about how to choose elemental creatures born in nature, there are currently two mainstream views in the wizarding world: the first is to choose elemental elves, and start cultivating and accompanying elemental elves from the initial larval stage; the second is to choose elemental creatures in the growth stage. This kind of elemental creature already has certain abilities and can directly assist the master in practicing elemental magic.

These two choices have their own advantages and disadvantages. Generally speaking, elemental wizards will choose to start with elemental spirits, because they will be very loyal if they cultivate them by themselves, and they can also interfere with the future development of elemental spirits according to their own wishes.

Most importantly, once elemental spirits grow up, there is a high probability that they can bring a kind of ability to the host: elementalization.

As long as wizards have the ability of elementalization, they can basically ignore most physical attacks.

The advantages of choosing elemental elves in the larval stage are very great, but the disadvantages are also obvious. The cost of cultivating elemental elves is too high, and the cultivation time is too long, often counting for decades or hundreds of years.

Choosing elemental creatures in the growth stage has ready-made abilities and directly has good combat power. But there are also disadvantages. The growing stage already has a certain wisdom, and they may not be willing to follow you. Even if they really recognize you, their abilities and attributes may not be suitable for you.

If Angel makes a choice, he can actually choose both.

If he chooses the larval stage, he has no shortage of magic crystals, so he can cultivate elemental elves without quantity.

He can also choose the growth stage, because he basically does not rely on elemental creatures to fight. For him, elemental creatures are the medium to assist in practicing elemental abilities.

Since both are possible, this fire butterfly can actually be accepted.

Angel squatted down and gently touched the fire butterfly, trying to sense the elemental structure inside the fire butterfly... But at this moment, the fire butterfly flapped its wings, and a fire tornado rushed straight to Angel's face.

The fire tornado cast by the juvenile fire butterfly is not powerful in itself, but the fire element here is too active, and the area affected by this fire tornado is extremely large.

Angel himself was not affected much, but he activated the nearby underground magma lake.

A large amount of ground flames gushed upward from the ground like an inverted waterfall of flames.

Angel hurriedly flew into the air to avoid being burned by the fire.

When the flames subsided a little, Angel looked at the fire butterfly with a gloomy look. He was too lazy to make a choice and directly stretched out his finger to flick the fire butterfly.

Go.

The fire butterfly turned into a burning arc and fell deep into the crack of the ground.

"You naughty kid, wait for others to discipline you later." Angel clapped his hands and shook off the dust, saying without hesitation.

As for talent? Just now he touched the fire butterfly, and the flame structure inside it was very ordinary. Angel really didn't find any special talent.

Anyway, there must be many elemental creatures and elemental spirits here, so there is no need to accompany a naughty child to make trouble.

Angel did not hesitate and turned around and left.

In the next few miles, Angel did not encounter elemental creatures again, perhaps they were all hidden in the magma. However, he saw a lot of fire magic materials exposed on the open scorched earth. Including gems, magic ores, and some things left by fire elemental creatures, such as flame feathers and nails with fire properties.

Angel did not touch these things. Because there were too many to fit, and most of them were low-level. In the future, he could issue tasks in the Savage Cave and let apprentices come here to collect them.

He still prioritized pioneering and exploration, and the rest came second.
