Chapter 2031 Lava Lake and Flame Butterfly <TOC> Chapter 2033 Ferocity and Malice
Translator: SumTLMan
What surprised Angel a bit was that elemental creatures could actually be produced in a lava lake?
You see, elemental creatures, though not rare, are certainly not common either. Generally speaking, it takes the right time and place for them to be born.
If there were a place that continuously produced elemental creatures, even just embryos, wizards would probably be scrambling to get there. After all, cultivating embryos is not easy, but there are many ways to start from the source and have the lava lake produce the young of elemental creatures.
Angel loosened the binding of his Magic Hand.
Perhaps sensing the elemental energy on Angel, the flame butterfly did not immediately leave.
Angel extended his finger, playfully touched the flame butterfly fluttering with its fiery wings, and had to say, this flame butterfly was very beautiful, even to Angel, who had extremely high aesthetic standards, felt somewhat moved. Unfortunately, its weak foundation was a big problem. Angel, even if cultivating elemental creatures from scratch, could accept, but starting from less than zero, that was out of the question.
Moreover, if he were really to cultivate elemental creatures, Angel actually had some ideas in his mind. There was a place, a reserve in his heart, where elemental creatures might exist. When he had completed his self-contemplation, he would go there to see, but there was no rush for now.
Thinking this, Angel gently touched the antennae of the flame butterfly. With a push of force, the flame butterfly was pushed aside.
The flame butterfly did not fly towards Angel again, but instead flew towards the outside.
However, there were simply too many mushrooms coveting the flame butterfly. Previously, they refrained from acting due to Angel’s presence, but as soon as it left Angel’s side, the mushrooms immediately revealed their true nature.
Almost all the mushrooms near Angel employed every trick they had, launching an attack on the flame butterfly.
“It has been touched by Highness Shava, I must have it!”
“Tainted with Highness Shava’s aura, I must keep it in my stomach even if I don’t eat it.”
Angel had just logged onto the forum to hear what the mushrooms were saying, but was repelled by their crazed and distorted emotions, deciding to withdraw his mental power…
Angel no longer paid attention to the emotional exchange among the mushrooms, instead refocusing his gaze on the lava lake.
The lava lake was still spouting flames, most of which dissipated into tiny sparks. A few transformed into fire elemental creatures, but they were all consumed by the mushrooms.
Angel now understood that the reason the mushrooms gathered here was presumably to feed on these fire elementals.
Setting aside the fire elementals for now, he pondered their origin.
From the previous conversations of the mushrooms, it was evident they detested the “dirty one”, but it was also apparent from their words that the “dirty one” brought them significant benefits, now revealed to be these fire elementals.
Yet, how did the “dirty one” become associated with the fire elementals?
And where was the “dirty one”?
Angel’s gaze turned towards the north of the vast lava lake. Due to the occasional smoke rising from the lake, it was impossible to see the distant details with the naked eye, but Angel focused intently in that direction.
He remembered clearly, every fire elemental born was formed under a strange gust of fiery wind. And this bizarre fiery wind came from the north.
“Perhaps, it’s time to take a look?”
Angel thought this and acted accordingly. He lightly stepped onto the reddening ground, and as a ripple formed, he soared into the mid-air.
As he ascended, the three Mystlight mushrooms on the ground jumped as high as they could, trying to follow him, but they couldn’t fly and could only watch him with longing. Eventually, with their caps drooping, they appeared to be abandoned.
Angel, of course, wouldn’t really abandon them. With a light touch of his finger, they started to float.
Finally, the three little fellows chose to root themselves at the heel of Angel’s shoes, turning into a kind of mushroom decoration. This added a fairytale-like absurdity to his otherwise understated flying boots.
Assured they wouldn’t be thrown off, Angel stopped paying attention to them. His gaze shifted towards the distance, a fire shield enveloped him, and with the Dark Night Flyover emitting a dim light, Angel swiftly moved above the lava lake.
In less than half a minute, Angel arrived at the center of the lava lake. It was there he witnessed an incredible sight.
Right beneath him, in the center of the lava lake, there was an island about thirty meters in diameter.
The island was made of fiery red crystals. From his vantage point, Angel could clearly feel that these crystals were fire elemental ores, extraordinarily stable to be laid out in the lava.
The value of the island itself could be estimated to be over a hundred thousand magic crystals.
But what was most important about this island was not the fire elemental ores, but a gigantic mushroom at the center of the island.
The unbelievable sight Angel saw came from this mushroom.
This mushroom was constantly compressing and expanding. With each compression, a terrifying amount of energy gathered, and as it expanded, this energy began to disperse, forming fiery winds from its pores.
The pores are like a chimney installed on the mushroom, with a large amount of fiery wind scattering in all directions.
These fiery winds, undoubtedly, are the medium for the birth of elemental creatures. Angel clearly saw that not far away, a flame snail was born from these fiery winds, transforming from a pattern of flames into a physical entity.
Angel didn’t delve deeper into the nature of these fiery winds. What he’s more concerned about at the moment is the mushroom situated in the center of the solitary island in the magma lake.
This mushroom, like the ones in the outer mushroom forest, is of the flame variety. Its smooth cap is covered with dark red spots, but its form is different from the others outside.
The mushrooms in the outer forest have slender bodies, with stalks almost straight like the trunk of a big tree, upright and firm. Their caps are mostly angular, some even quite fierce in appearance.
But this mushroom is different. Although it’s still tall, about ten meters or so, its stalk is not slender or straight but rather plump, giving a sense of roundness.
The cap is also smooth and well-rounded, with curves that are not abrupt, possessing a beautifully streamlined arc.
The reason Angel notices this mushroom’s shape is that it doesn’t resemble the native mushrooms here, but rather, it looks a bit like…
Angel lowers his head, looking at the three small creatures huddled together at his heel.
Yes, this mushroom closely resembles Mystlight.
To be precise, it resembles Mystlight’s mature form.
