Chapter 228 Earth Fire Eruption
If someone stood on the shore of Lake of End, you can see a raft floating from afar. The raft looked very miserable. One quarter of the thick logs across the horizontal had been broken into two pieces. Fortunately, a metal rope was fixed through the center and did not fall off the raft. Of course, the passengers on the raft were also in a mess. Everyone was wet and their clothes were tightly attached to their bodies. As the only male passenger, Panis felt that his arms were swollen. Of course, this was not because of fatigue, but because of being swollen. However, now the girls had put on cloaks outside and covered their wet clothes, Panis's arms were spared.
However, it was not them that were the scorpion tail lion Dilly. The poor scorpion tail lion shrank to an adult size, spread its wings and flew against the water in front of the raft. A rope was tied to his body, and the other end of the rope was connected to the raft, allowing the raft to drag forward from him in front. At this time, his face showed a human-like frustration, flapping his wings weakly, approaching the shore of the other end of the Lake of Ending. Although it was almost evening, it was still very bright. The girls did not expect that after experiencing the chaos in the middle of the lake and the breaking of the pole, the team actually arrived at the shore before dusk according to the scheduled plan.
"Because we have the best means of transportation." Perhaps because we were finally going to dock, Panis was in a particularly good mood. He completely got rid of the shadow of being attacked by the group of girls, and sat on a package and said, "The speed of this means of transportation is faster than that of me. If I had known this, I would have just asked him to pull the boat from the beginning."
"Bastard Kyle, you are the means of transportation. You must have broken the pole on purpose." Dilly retorted weakly: "I suspect that you have been planning to push the responsibility of driving the boat on my head since you got on board."
Although Deely said this, neither he nor other girls really thought so. In fact, the second half of the journey was particularly troublesome than the first half of the journey. Although the normal speed of the first half of the journey was slightly slower than that of the Dilira ship, everyone was particularly comfortable. Except for the unexpected unexpected in the middle of the lake, everyone encountered no trouble. But the second half was different. The Dilira ship needed to fly, and the flight altitude caused him to be on the same plane as the floating twisted souls. In this way, everyone needed to keep going around. They circled around the lake and finally barely crossed the encirclement of the twisted souls. There were even two times when the twisted souls were too dense and the range was too large to go around, and everyone simply needed to go into the water and push the raft through their encirclement, which was the main reason why everyone was soaked in the end.
Seeing that the shore is getting closer and closer, and the number of twisted souls is getting smaller and smaller. Often, no one is passed for a long time, the girls' hearts are finally let go. Compared to the floating water surface, the thick earth can bring people a sense of security. On the second half of the road, the girls have been worried about encountering the environmental changes in the middle of the lake again. Fortunately, along the way, what they worry about has not happened, the journey is safe and smooth, and there is no package of pioneers at the bottom of the lake.
"Actually, there is no need to worry." Panis said leisurely: "Although this area is a forbidden place for living things, for thousands of years, there have been several special people as special as us. Indeed, the center of the lake has not been explored, but those who came to explore the lakeside have left detailed records. There is no record in the record that the Lake of End will undergo regular changes. This means that at least the abnormality cannot be seen on the shore. You have also seen those water columns, each of which will rise dozens of meters high, and the highest one is probably more than a hundred meters. The sound is also loud enough, and I think people who are more than ten kilometers away can see and hear it. In this way, the water area of more than 8,000 square kilometers may only appear abnormally if it is close to the center of the lake. Only in this way will people in other directions be unable to observe it."
"But, this is actually just your guess and speculation. Isn't it?" Catherine shook her head and said, "After all, no one can tell what the truth is. So it's better to be careful."
"It's indeed my speculation." Panis nodded, "But the actual situation proves that my guess is still very reasonable."
"That's right." Catherine recalled the experience of Huxin before, and was still scared. Under the natural power, her personal power was too small, so small that it almost made people desperate. The Knight girl sighed and said, "I don't know what happened, why did such a violent change suddenly occur."
"I suspect it may be related to the eruption of the earth fire." Vivian's voice sounded unhappy. When he escaped from dangerous waters and arrived in a relatively safe area, the scholar's soul made the mage girl want to wait until the mutation subsided before rushing back to study the cause of this phenomenon. However, the girl knew that for the entire team, this was too dangerous and very irresponsible behavior, so the mage girl could only suppress her impulse and left the center of the Lake of Ending with blood in her heart.
"Did the earth fire erupt?" Catherine rubbed the girl's wet hair as a comfort and asked in a low voice: "It's a rare natural phenomenon that sprays a lot of magma from the ground? But I didn't see the magma erupting, and there were no traces of magma flowing out at the bottom of the lake. Why do you think so?"
"Yes, that's the eruption of earth fire." Speaking of academic issues, Vivian finally felt better and said excitedly: "But the eruption of earth fire does not necessarily mean only magma. Its eruption has many types. Sometimes, if there are no cracks or few cracks in the strata, the magma will not erupt. All that is ejected is steam completely vaporized after high temperature heating, just like before. This can explain why the content of ground flint and acid ground flint in the lake is so scary. If it is often erupted like this, it is strange that it is not high."
"If the water column is an eruption of earth fire, what about those vortexes?" Lina asked curiously: "It's not that it is because of the eruption of earth fire."
"I don't know the vortex, I can only guess." Vivian replied: "According to my estimate, there is a huge cavity below the lake, which is also filled with lake water. The upper and lower layers are only connected by the hollows left by the eruption of ground fire. Each local fire layer continues with enough pressure, a large amount of hot gas will be emitted, and these gases will carry a lot of water and spray into the sky through the cavity. Of course, it is not a coincidence to pass through the cavity. There is no such coincidence in the world. It happens to pass through the holes because the holes are simply because of the eruption of hot gas. After the eruption of hot gas is over, the lower space needs a lot of water to replenish consumption. In this way, the lake water flows back into the lower layer, and it will form large vortexes, and it happens to be where the ground fire erupts."
"Erupt first and then absorb to achieve a balance?" Lina thought, "Is this the creation of the gods, or is it a natural wonder? If it is formed naturally, it has to be admitted that it is more creative than the design of many intelligent creatures."
"This is by no means a natural wonder." Panis shook his head and said: "Earth fire erupts, whether it is steam or magma, it takes a long time to accumulate. For example, the eruption of the ground fire in the permanent ice field often requires accumulation of dozens or even hundreds of years to occur once. It is absolutely impossible to spray it once a day like breakfast."
"So you think it was created by God?" Lina asked back, "Or it was made by man? The problem is that gods rarely intend to create such specific wonders. They just create a big environment, and the rest is left to nature to change. And if it is made by man, don't forget that this is a forbidden place for living creatures. Who can transform the environment here? Even if someone can come in, they can't do it. After all, no race has such technology yet."
"No, you're ignoring a race." Panis shook his finger at Lina: "Those people don't believe in gods. They think they can fight against gods. They even want to drive the authority of gods, so they want to create, transform and even play with life."
"Do you think it's a goblin?" Katherine said without surprise at all: "Well, goblins are indeed likely to do this. Since they can even transform half-planes into research institutes, it shouldn't be difficult to create ground fire eruptions artificially. The question is, why do they do this? It doesn't make sense."
"If it's a goblin, that's really meaningful." Freya seemed inspired by Panis and said thoughtfully: "It is very likely that they will spray steam every day to dissipate heat from large equipment groups, and at the same time introduce equipment to cool overheated lakes. In fact, our Colossus School occasionally uses similar methods to cool down, and of course the scale is definitely not so exaggerated."
"Wait, steam is sprayed every day?" Catherine suddenly interrupted Freya: "Why do you think this is something that happens every day? And it's timed?"
Not only Freya, but also Vivian and Penis, all looked at Catherine with strange eyes because of this problem. The Knight girl asked inexplicably, wonderingly: "What? Is this question stupid?"
"Sister, look." Vivian sighed and explained, "Your grandfather encountered an eruption forty years ago. When we come again, let alone forty years, even if it was a year or two apart, it was not on the same day, or even a month. How likely do you think it is to encounter an eruption?"
"Uh, it's not big." Katherine scratched her head and said awkwardly: "At least it takes more frequent eruptions to cause this coincidence."
"I said, how long do you have to sit on it?" Dilly said in dissatisfaction: "It's been a few minutes since the docking, aren't you going to get off the boat?"
