Chapter 165 The Elf in the Deep of the Volcano
Langqi Island has undergone tremendous changes during the New Calendar Upheaval.
In addition to the island area increasing from 92 square kilometers to 2,341 square kilometers, there are also many new terrain environments on the island that were not there before.
For example, the volcano that Chen Xizhou and Dai Mao Dai Lu Bi arrived at this time.
Standing at the foot of the mountain and looking up, the volcano that appeared after the New Calendar stands on the land of Langqi Island, giving people a sense of grandeur and majesty.
The crater roars and spews high-temperature gas, but no magma will flow out.
"Go up and have a look."
Chen Xizhou rides on his brother Houndoom, who has the best endurance, and follows the elves to move up the mountain.
Although Dai Mao Houndoom fell in love with this place at first sight, they still need to confirm again whether the environment here is suitable for the Dai Lu Bi clan to live.
When they reached the mountainside, a cave with a red glow appeared.
"Volcano cave?"
Stepping into the volcano cave, the dim light and sultry air hit their faces, making people feel a little uncomfortable.
Inside the cave, the veins on the rock wall are mottled, as if they are masterpieces of natural art.
Going deeper, one after another magma pools lie quietly underground. The flames burning in the magma pools become the most eye-catching embellishment in this space. The heat that is about to burst out has set off waves of heat waves, which makes people shudder.
Although he was just watching, Chen Xizhou still felt the fragility of life and the power of nature.
Unlike the depression that Chen Xizhou and Slow King felt in the cave, Caterpie and Dalubi felt extremely comfortable in the boiling magma pool.
The environment here is very suitable for fire elves to live.
"Oh!"
The inexplicable long howl of Slowpoke immediately alerted Chen Xizhou and other elves.
There seemed to be a figure flashing in a magma pool.
Could it be a certain elf?
Scientists have been exploring a question: Is there life in magma?
Although there are answers from creatures like tardigrades and basaltic lancetails, there is no real evidence to prove the existence of magma life.
Can elves live in magma?
Chen Xizhou is not sure.
Although Caterpie and Daluby are also afraid of magma, it does not mean that all fire-type elves are afraid of these molten rock materials. At least a black shadow flashed through a magma pool just now.
At this time, the elves seemed to have discovered something again.
Caterpie led Chen Xizhou around a corner of the rock wall and came to two forks.
One is up and the other is down?
This volcano does not seem to be as simple as he imagined.
"Dai Dai, which way to choose?"
Chen Xizhou looked at the King of Slow beside him. When he was undecided, he could get the answer by asking it.
Even the wise King of Slow was a little hesitant at this time.
After closing his eyes and thinking for a while, Dai Dai looked at the fork pointing downward.
"This is the only one. Let's go!"
Because they were going to explore an unknown area, Chen Xizhou only brought his two Pokémons and the Aho-Horge that he used as a mount.
Horge brother happily sent Chen Xizhou and his sister off.
Finally, it could play the role of the leader of the tribe again!
"Awoo--"
At this time, Aho-Horge, who had already walked into the fork in the road, had a dark face after hearing the excited long howl of his brother.
We'll deal with it when we come back!
This fork in the road with an overall downward trend is quite spacious, but there is some hot magma flowing out of the cracks in the rocks on the road, and the Pokémons who need to travel need to pay attention to the road conditions at all times.
Although carrying one person, Aho-Horge's speed is not slow at all.
Catti followed closely behind to protect Chen Xizhou, and Slow King spread his superpowers to pay attention to the surroundings at all times.
There are many caves of different sizes along the way. There are no creatures in the caves, but there are some shiny things that look like ore, but they should not be fire stones.
Chen Xizhou secretly memorized these caves and would develop these ores after all of them were processed.
Dai Dai Wang knew Chen Xizhou.
It quickly blasted a piece of ore from a cave and held it in its arms, then used teleportation to catch up with the fast-moving Dai Mao Heroujia.
Helped Xiao Xizhou deal with another thing, so happy.
When Dai Mao Heroujia stopped, the temporary team had been traveling for more than half an hour, the same time as it took to get from the foot of the mountain to the volcanic cave on the mountainside.
There was only one reason for the stop: the temporary team encountered a magma pool again and also encountered a wild Pokémon.
The atmosphere around the magma pool was hot, and the smell of lava filled the entire space.
The huge magma pool was like a symbol of destructive power, and people dared not approach it rashly. There was a huge stone platform in the center of the pool, and a tall and mighty Pokémon stood on the stone platform.
The Pokémon's head seemed to be covered with a metal mask, with brown and orange spots on its reddish-brown body, and a structure similar to a metal anklet on its legs.
What a steel giant!
Chen Xizhou quickly recalled the Pokémon database and found that there was no information about this Pokémon.
The Dumb King immediately understood what Chen Xizhou meant when he saw his eyes. After a brainstorm, he shook his head and answered Chen Xizhou. This Pokémon with terrible strength was indeed not a Pokémon with a name in the Pokémon database.
Chen Xizhou's eyes fell on the stone platform again.
Could this steel giant be the same as the Bud Crown, a legendary Pokémon in the serial number "???"?
I saw a living legendary Pokémon?
[Sidlan! ]
[Sidlan: Crater Pokémon (Legendary Pokémon)]
[Legend has it that Sidlan was born from the boiling lava inside a volcano, and its body made of molten steel is full of unsolved mysteries. ]
[It lives in the caves of the volcano, and it crawls around by hooking the walls and the top of the cave with its cross-shaped claws. ]
[Blood boiling like lava flows in its body. Although it has a hard steel body, it is also melting bit by bit due to the high temperature it emits. ]
Keywords: God of Volcano, Steel, Lava
This existence called Sidlan is indeed a legendary Pokémon!
At this time, Sidlan on the stone platform was looking coldly at the group of outsiders who suddenly broke in, and a fiery red energy was surrounding it and the stone platform.
There are many charred tree trunks standing or falling around the stone platform. This is because the heat of the pool has caused extremely high temperatures, making all nearby trees unable to resist the power of the lava.
These trees are very similar to the Chinese hackberry trees that grow around this volcano.
This is a shocking place. All the scenes are full of danger and mystery, and people dare not approach rashly.
This scene is a bit too fantasy for Chen Xizhou, a human.
He took the opportunity to open Xiduolan's elf panel:

[Lava Heart: A rock heart with signs of life, maybe it can evolve into a legendary existence in the future? ]
The system's introduction to this elf item made Chen Xizhou stunned for a moment.
Does this mean that this lava heart may give birth to another Xiduolan in the future?
As if it felt that it was being spied on, the fiery red energy surrounding Xiduolan began to become violent.
Chen Xizhou had no doubt that if he dared to take the next step, Xiduolan would command these violent energies that had turned into real flames to rush towards him.
I just don't know if the [Fire-Inducing] characteristic of the Daimao Houndoom can help him resist the damage of the flames.
Of course, Chen Xizhou would not be stupid enough to provoke Xiduolan for a test.
Facing Xiduolan's orange-red eyes that were emitting coldness, Chen Xizhou organized his words slightly and said: "Hello, Xiduolan, I am Chen Xizhou, the mayor of this island town of humans. I am sorry for rashly intruding into your territory."
Seeing that the other party still looked cold, Chen Xizhou planned to leave with the elves.
A low roar came from behind.
Chen Xizhou turned his head and saw Xiduolan standing and controlling the flames to wrap up the charred tree trunks standing or falling on the stone platform, and then swept them out of the magma pool.
When Xiduolann stood up to control the flame, Chen Xizhou saw an irregular fiery red stone under it.
I think that should be the heart of lava.
"Human, take these garbage away."
In Chen Xizhou's shocked eyes, Xiduolann continued to say: "I allow your fire elves to live in this volcano, but I don't allow anyone and elves to enter here at will."
Xiduolann immediately felt the presence of a large number of Dalubi at the entrance above.
Xiduolann, who has lived for endless years, knew the other party's intention very well. It used conditions to exchange humans and Dalubi tribes to guard the entrance of the volcanic cave for itself.
Unexpectedly, the legend says that elves can actually speak.
After listening to Xiduolann's words, Chen Xizhou immediately understood what the other party meant.
It wanted to find a doorman for itself.
"Okay, thank you."
For this cooperation that was decided in a few words, Chen Xizhou originally wanted to say something more, and by the way, he wanted to get close to Xiduolann, but he was rejected by the other party.
This is not a good-tempered legendary elf.
Chen Xizhou couldn't help but think of the statue of the King of Buds in the Rizhao Basin.
I wonder if the King of Buds has a good temper.
"Don't forget the branches on the ground..."
The flames began to die out, and the fiery red energy returned to surround the stone platform. Xi Duolan also lay down again to protect the lava heart.
Chen Xizhou was about to pick up the burnt branches on the ground, but was stopped by the King of Slow.
