The Universe's First Hide and Seek

Go back in time a little bit.

At that time, Jude had already rushed up to the crater with Li Chen on his back.Although the volcano is erupting, the magma has not erupted for the time being, so the two cubs can still look down close to the crater.

After all, with the body of a dragon, the temperature and the stale air are nothing to worry about.Li Chen is still a fire dragon, in fact, he will be fine even if he touches the magma on the surface.At the beginning, his eggs were hatched by an open fire at 1500 degrees. Pushing forward, the parents of this body put him in a volcano, probably hoping that the temperature of the volcano would one day hatch him.So in summary, the temperature of the crater is not a big problem for Lichen.

However, for safety reasons, Jude took him to stop at the crater and did not go down.The two cubs were lying on the crater and looking down, the red-orange magma was tumbling below, and the hot air that came out continued to surge upwards and hit their faces.The smell of sulfur was stronger here, and Jude couldn't help turning his head and sneezing after laying down for a while.

"Ah!" Jude took a step back and turned around. He felt that his face was going to be roasted.He looked at Li Chen: "Let's go away, the smell is so strong..."

At this moment, he had forgotten that he was the one who encouraged it back then, and wanted Li Chen to accept the energy of the volcano.But in the end, he didn't know how Lichen could obtain the energy of the volcano.Just lying on the crater for a while, the little black dragon felt a little flustered.

"Li Chen?" Jude waited for several seconds after finishing speaking, but before Li Chen responded, he asked in confusion, "What's wrong with you?"

Li Chen didn't know what happened to him either.

Before I reached the crater, I just felt a feeling in my heart, urging myself to come up.And the closer the distance, the more obvious this feeling.When he arrived here, standing on the rock of the crater, looking at the billowing magma below, a certain sense of existence rising in his heart became more and more obvious, and it was difficult to suppress.

He seemed to hear a voice in the dark, thick but ethereal, whispering but resounding through the sky, unable to understand the meaning but engraved in his heart.The sound was like a bell, like ringing in the ears, getting louder and louder, shaking Li Chen's head to buzz.He obviously didn't feel how hot or choking it was, but his eyes looking at the magma began to blur, and his mind became blurred.As if there was an invisible hand pulling him, he felt his body getting heavier and heavier.

He fell headfirst.

"!!!" Jude rushed over to stop him, and even exploded the fastest in his life.But as soon as he got started, Jude suddenly felt something was wrong: "Li Chen?! What's wrong with you!"

This is not Li Chen's weight!

Jude carried him all the way, and he had an idea of ​​his weight. It was impossible for him to become so heavy in just a few minutes!No matter how big the little black dragon's heart is at this moment, he also knows that something strange has happened.He completely forgot the idea of ​​"taking the little dragon to receive the volcanic energy" and tried to bring Li Chen back, but it was difficult for him to fly if Li Chen didn't hug him.He is still young, so he really can't hold Li Chen in his arms.

"Be sober!" Jude half-hugged and half-pushed Li Chen out, but a little further was a steep hillside, and Jude didn't dare to push him any further.He held Li Chen down with his paw on the spot, and hurriedly called his mother, and Meera quickly picked it up.

"Jude? You..."

"Mom!!!" Jude called for help loudly, "We are at Gulong Crater, come quickly!"

"What? How did you get there?" Meera was startled, and immediately said, "Li Chen can't enter the volcano yet, you guys hurry down!"

"I wanted to go on, but Li Chen suddenly became very strange. I couldn't drag him, and he didn't answer when I called him!" Jude asked his mother to look at Li Chen under his feet, "I can only hold him like this, I dare not move Come and help me!"

"Immediately!" Meera didn't care about training her son anymore, she stripped off the communicator, set it to the tracking flight state, and then instantly transformed into a black dragon ready to take off, "You want..."

Before the words "Steady Lichen" came out, Little Charmander didn't know where the strength came from, and suddenly overturned the black dragon Jude who was several times bigger than himself!

Jude: "Huh?!"

Before he had time to turn over, Li Chen had already quickly approached the crater.Meera was on the other side of the communicator, watching the little charmander flapping its small wings and rushing towards the crater, the speed far exceeded the limit of a little dragon of the same age!

In a second, no, in less than a second, the figure of the fire dragon disappeared over the crater!

"No, Li Chen——!!!" Jude rushed to the crater, but where was Li Chen's shadow?Looking at the hot magma below, the little black dragon couldn't imagine that Li Chen had already entered.But apart from there, there is no red shadow in the crater at all, so where else can we go?

"Jude, don't move!" Meera had already taken off, watched her son on the other end of the communicator flap his wings, and stopped immediately, "I'll be there right away! You can't carry the magma, don't go down, just stay there!"

"Wow!" Jude couldn't help crying, "Come help, Mom!"

No matter how arrogant he is usually, he is just a child, and he will be at a loss if he encounters this kind of thing.And he was the one who took the initiative to encourage Chen to come here. One can imagine how much mental pressure he has had.

But Meera really didn't have time to comfort her son.She subconsciously thought that Lichen had fallen into the volcano, but even if she exerted herself to the limit, she would not be able to reach the core of the volcano. The high-temperature magma would directly burn through her scales, and she would also be buried in the sea of ​​flames.This thought swirled in her mind for 0.1 second, and she hung up the communication with her son and called Saenz.

"Patriarch, something happened to Lichen!!!"

***

Three minutes after Lichen disappeared into the crater, Meila arrived.

Another minute later, Saenz arrives.

The dragons have powerful space and wind abilities, and the speed at which they burst out is incomparable to the speed at which two little dragons flew for tens of minutes.

Saenz stood at the crater, looking down, his face was frosty despite the hot air: "I'll go down and have a look."

His voice sounded calm, but only he knew that his whole body was tense.

——It's that person!Absolutely!

——I can't let him leave this world in such a painful way...!

Saenz couldn't tell how he was feeling now, but he knew that he couldn't let Li Chen stay there alone...!

"But..." Meera frowned, "Maybe he's not necessarily in the magma, maybe somewhere else..."

"It's not anywhere else." Saenz said, "The communicator's positioning route has disappeared here, and he's still inside. And I also know that he must still be alive, and I can still sense his contract!"

This refers to the relationship identification given by the ancestors during the adoption ceremony.I don't feel anything at ordinary times, but at critical times, it can make the guardian perceive the child and save the child's life.Saenz didn't know about Li Chen's situation, but the faint feeling of ties still made Saenz believe that Li Chen was still alive.

"..." Mela said with a heartbroken, "If you must go down, I will go down!"

"you……"

"Patriarch, we don't have any other fire dragons anymore. Black dragons are the most defensive. So, if you must go down, I will come!" It is hard to blame, "Unless the sea water pours back, the volcano cannot cool down. Your ice will definitely melt when it touches the core magma! Don't go down and take risks!"

"Yes!"

Meera's husband, Serad, landed from mid-air: "The black dragon has the highest defense ability in the whole clan, so let me go down and have a look!"

Meera was taken aback: "Why do you..."

Jude raised his hand weakly: "I triggered the alarm by mistake..."

After being hung up by Meera, Jude touched the emergency button by mistake.This kind of information can usually cover a distance of tens of thousands of meters in radius, and there are at least a dozen dragons who received the information, including his own father Serrad.And because it was a cub who sent the call for help, Serad, who rushed to the scene, and other dragons were on the way.

But it is impossible for Saenz to wait for them, and it is useless if they come.

"I don't need you, I'll go down by myself." Saenz said, "Stay here and let others not be impulsive."

"But……"

"No, but, this is an order." Saenz interrupted, "I know what you are worried about...you don't know my true strength."

"Hey?"

Saenz didn't say any more, the silver-white ice dragon flew into the air and hovered over the crater.A spot of light suddenly appeared around his body. The Black Dragon couple thought it was ice crystals, but after looking closely, they realized that it was not ice, but a real spot of light.After the light came on, a white mist soon formed around the ice dragon, as if the cold air around the ice dragon had liquefied the water vapor in the crater.

The black dragons have never seen this scene, so naturally they don't know that it is pure ice energy.Anyone who gets close at this time can easily be frostbitten and freeze to death in a short time.

This ice-type "protective cover" can maximize the isolation of ice dragons and external damage, including extremely high temperature magma.Saenz only stayed above the crater for a few seconds. After the protective cover was completed, he flew down without hesitation——

Noisy! ! !

The collision of extreme cold and extreme heat made a sound of instant evaporation and cooling, and white water vapor filled the crater in an instant.When the water vapor dissipated slightly, the figure of the ice dragon had long since disappeared, and what was left under the crater was still only orange-red hot magma.

The dragons who came in response to the alarm arrived one after another, but none of us had a better way, so we could only stop at the crater and wait.

***

Saenz rushed into the magma.

Pure energy gathers around him, protecting him.It was smooth at first, but the further down the road, the less easy it was.

The volcano that can bring energy to the dragons can also use energy to oppress the dragons.Saenz felt more and more clearly that he was under heavy pressure on his energy shield, and he needed to pay more and more.He seems to be rushing towards the bottom of the sea with a bubble, the deeper the place, the greater the pressure, and he must work hard to maintain the bubble so that it will not be compressed to the point of bursting.

Now, even if it didn't burst, the "bubble" has become visibly smaller with the naked eye.

But Saenz had no intention of stopping, not even slowing down.

He sensed more and more clearly that there was an energy group below emitting energy, wave after wave, like a wave.The further you go, the bigger the "wave" is, and it's not hard to imagine what kind of "turbulent waves" the energy near the source will be.

This "wave" also hit Saenz's energy shield, and Saenz could feel that it was not peaceful, but riotous and chaotic.It is an uncontrollable source of energy that is constantly collapsing.

It brings positioning to Saenz, and it also brings heavy worry and tension to Saenz.

--hold onto……!

--wait for me!

Fifty kilometers, one hundred kilometers, two hundred kilometers...!

The scorching energy slammed into Saenz's protective shield like a gust of wind, no, a rain of sharp swords. The power of his whole body circulated rapidly, and if there was a slight mistake, he would be buried in a sea of ​​flames in an instant.But he went down, and down, without hesitation!

Om-!

The riotous energy nearly rang in his ears, and he finally stopped.

--arrive!

Less than three meters below his feet, a figure like a raging fire is radiating energy that can burn everything in the world!
