Chapter 278 The sea beast is coming
In the huge crater, the sunlight gradually became less and the air was very dry, filled with a pungent smell of sulfur.
Meilin gently broke off a layer of rocks and saw that it was covered with cracks and was very dry. This volcano has indeed not erupted again for a long time. It is a dead volcano.
The lower the volcano, the darker the light became. Merlin could only keep using his mental power to observe the surrounding situation at all times. While he was sliding down, he did not find the lava soil.
The lava soil is in a volcano. After a long period of high temperature calcination, it is then under huge pressure. It has changed slowly over hundreds of years before it can be formed.
Therefore, the formation of lava soil is not so easy, and not found in every volcano.
"Hmm? Footprints? Someone has come?"
Meilin's expression changed slightly. He saw some footprints in the volcano. These footprints were still very messy and of different sizes, which shows that many people have come to the volcano.
Suddenly, Merlin's heart sank slightly. He thought of a possibility. Since he could think of it being safe in the dead volcano, then some other spellcasters could not have imagined it?
Although lava soil is not a particularly precious treasure, it is also a very important alchemy material. Even if it is sold, it can be exchanged for many elemental crystals.
These dead volcanoes are likely to have been explored by other spellcasters, and even if there is lava soil, they have been plundered long ago.
Thinking of this, Merlin hurriedly slid down the volcano.
"No, nothing! I've all been investigated, and I can't find anything of a little valuable..."
Merlin's face looked ugly. Among these dead volcanoes, there are not only lava soil, but also some particularly hard rocks, and very strange alchemy materials.
But now, there is not even a little valuable thing in this dead volcano, which is already very obvious. This dead volcano has long been plundered.
"Continue to look for other volcanoes!"
Meilin already had a very bad premonition in her heart. Although the Dead Volcano is safe, the valuable things in the Dead Volcano are likely to have been plundered, but Meilin is still unwilling to give up, so he still wants to investigate again.
So, according to the location marked by the volcano on the map, Merlin began to search one by one...

The bright sunshine shines on the beach, making people listless. Many spellcasters squint their eyes slightly, finding a place on the beach and enjoying the warm sunshine.
"It's really boring to have such days. I really miss those days when sea beasts attacked. Maybe I can make a fortune. Tsk, sea beasts are full of treasures..."
"Hehe. Fatty, you miss the days when the sea beasts attacked? Last time you were almost swallowed by a single-horned seal. If it weren't for Master Beton, you would have died long ago. The sea beasts were indeed full of treasures, but would you have a chance to get it?"
Since these spellcasters are already familiar with each other, they often make small jokes in their spare time, which is also a way to adjust their life on this boring island.
"Boom".
Everyone who was still enjoying the warm sunshine suddenly felt that the entire island seemed to be shaking violently. At the same time, huge waves were stirred up in the distant sea.
Behind the waves is a black mass, full of huge sea beasts.
"No, the sea beast is here again!"
The many spellcasters who were still on the beach immediately became alert and stared at the waves in the distance. The dark and almost overwhelming sea beasts made them feel a hint of despair.
"How come there are so many sea beasts?"
This is the question in the minds of all spellcasters. This is the first time that so many sea beasts attacked together on Purple Fire Island. When everyone saw the sea beasts coming with the waves in groups, they were in a heavy mood.
Perhaps, this time, none of them will survive. From the moment they came to Zihuo Island, they actually had such preparations, but when they were facing it, most people were in a very depressed mood and even felt a little scared.
Master Beton also raised his head, and a trace of firmness flashed from his eyes.
"Transfer news to Udon Castle. Purple Fire Island may not be able to be saved, but every Udon Castle mage on Purple Fire Island will fight until the last moment!"
After Master Beton finished speaking, a violent elemental fluctuation suddenly flashed on his body...
****
"No, there is no lava soil!"
Meilin, who was covered in dust in a dead volcano, shook his head helplessly, his face full of disappointment. This volcano was the eighteenth volcano he had found, but he still did not find the lava soil. You know, there are only twenty-four volcanoes on the entire Zihuo Island, and they are all dead volcanoes.
"There are still six volcanoes. Although there is little hope, they all arrive on Zihuo Island and still have to look for them again!"
Merlin murmured in a low voice. Although he knew there was little hope, he still didn't want to give up. There were still six dead volcanoes. No matter what, he had to search for them before he could be content.
"Boom".
Just as Merlin was about to leave the dead volcano, the entire volcano seemed to shake violently, and then a large amount of soil and dust fell down.
"What's going on? Is the volcano going to erupt?"
Meilin's face changed drastically. If a volcano erupted, he would not have time at all now and would be instantly flooded by the hot magma.
But soon, Merlin discovered that it was not a volcano eruption, because he didn't feel a slight blazing breath in the volcano, and the vibration seemed to be coming from a distance.
After a little relieved, Meilin didn't dare to stay at the bottom of the volcano, so he quickly arrived at the crater.
Standing on the high crater, Merlin finally saw that in the distant sea, a huge wave swept over, and among the waves, there were dense sea beasts like black clouds.
"Sea beast attack?"
Merlin immediately guessed that this was the attack of sea beasts. Purple Fire Island belongs to the outermost periphery of the Cordomansla Islands and is often attacked by sea beasts.
However, this time the scale of the sea beast is too large. With the strength of Master Beton and others, I am afraid that it can't resist it at all.
"Let's go and have a look."
Merlin could not ignore it. He is now a member of Udon Castle and is obliged to contribute to Udon Castle. What's more, he also likes the warm atmosphere of Udon Castle.
"Swoosh".
Then the wind element appeared on Meilin, wrapping his figure and quickly ran towards the beach.
****
"kill!"
Master Beton waved his hand suddenly and gave a formal order. He had seen some sea beasts and had climbed onto the beach.
"Swish swish swish swish".
The wind blades were the fastest, and the wind blades in the sky cut a sea beast with dark skin like old tree bark.
But these sharp wind blades cannot cut open these sea beasts with skin like old tree bark, which can only make them feel severe pain and go crazy.
But they can't kill these sea beasts at all.
"Oh no, these sea beasts are at least level 3 sea beasts, and there are many level 4 sea beasts that we can't kill at all!"
Even the short and fat mage who had always been open-minded changed his face. He released the flame spell and wrapped a sea beast. The scorching high temperature made the sea beast scream shrillly.
However, it will take a long time to kill this sea beast. The short and fat mage has no time to care about others. Such a sea beast is just one of the many sea beasts, and there are a huge number of sea beasts behind it.
There is also a kind of four legs, an extremely large body, two ugly sarcoma on the top of the head, and a huge mouth full of sharp teeth. When it opens its mouth, it sprays a viscous acid liquid. Once it is contaminated with the caster's body, its whole body will immediately become ulcerated and die of death.
Even the third-level defense spells cannot resist and will soon be corroded. Only the fourth-level defense spells can resist for a while.
In a blink of an eye, more than half of the casters on Purple Fire Island were killed by sea beasts, and now there are only thirty or forty left. The more powerful casters are still struggling to support them.
"Master Beton, we can't resist it at all. These sea beasts are not something we can deal with. How long will Udon support be available?"
One of the fourth-level mages, after struggling to kill a sea beast, asked loudly at Master Beton.
“How long will it take to arrive?”
Master Beton showed a bitter smile on his face, and shook his head helplessly and said, "It will take half a day to get here even at the fastest speed from Udon's main island."
"Half a day?"
The remaining spell casters were silent. Now there are so many sea beasts, let alone half a day, even half an hour, they can't hold on.
"Betton, are we going to die?"
The short and fat mage grinned. He had already stained with blood on his body, and it was emitting a pungent smell of blood. He couldn't tell which ones were from the sea beasts and which ones were from him.
"Fatty, are you afraid of death?"
Master Beton did not answer, but instead asked back.
"Haha, if I hadn't been in charge of Udon Castle, I would have died long ago. I would have been afraid of death? I was just a little unwilling to give up. My enemy is still there, and I have not taken revenge yet!"
When the short and fat mage mentioned "enemy", the expression on his face was extremely ferocious and heart-wrenching.
Master Beton did not speak, but looked up at the other surviving spellcasters. Now there are fewer people, less than twenty.
"Hmm? There are still people?"
Suddenly, Master Beton's after light saw a figure running from afar.
