"The people inside, have they come out?"
Zoe curiously peeped behind the Magma Statue, and the others felt the same way.
"Could it be a very powerful person, although wrapped in lava made by Star Soul, who managed to escape relying on their own strength?" Andasu pondered.
"It’s possible." Li Ang said.
"Could this person be the one we’re looking for?"
Dorothy said, "Since they don’t want to leave, they must have the ability to survive on this island, right?"
"Not necessarily. If they were a powerful figure on the island, it would make sense to leave after escaping."
Li Ang called the young girls to ride on the Salamanders and head towards other districts.
Due to terrain changes, he had to compare from multiple angles to accurately find Mort’s relatives’ exact place of residence. The matter of the Magma Statue wouldn’t delay them for long.
"Huh? There’s one here too!"
Moving through the city ruins, the young girls were no longer afraid of the Magma Statues. Instead, they began to intentionally search for similar hollow statues upon discovering them elsewhere.
After seeing more casualties, similar hollow statues appeared occasionally, and eventually it became unsurprising, temporarily halting their discussions about them.
Thanks to the strong strides of the Salamanders, the first city ruins were explored in no time.
"It seems the erupting lava changed the terrain, we need to head upwards."
Comparing with the map, Li Ang realized the power of Star Soul made the lava flow not like a natural eruption, with certain areas elevated to form cliffs, causing a massive terrain transformation on Lupus Island.
"Ahead is the River of Lava."
Leaving the city, in front of a sunken crevice, the Salamanders paused momentarily. Dorothy cautiously peered, holding her skirt, at the extremely high-temperature lava flowing, their fiery red color representing a death zone.
In just over a dozen seconds, the girls couldn’t bear the heat, and they all channeled magic power to activate the power of their Water Attribute Equipment to cool down.
Dorothy raised her Magic Staff, gathering an Ocean Bubble. Meimei pushed with her hand, infusing magic power into it, stirring it up, transforming it into Pure Magic Water, while forming a vortex within.
The vortex power in the bubble splashed water vapor outward, and the heat of the environment was insufficient to evaporate the Pure Magic Water, forming a mist that immediately brought down the surrounding temperature.
"Thank you, Xiaomei Mei!" Zoe laughed.
"What do you mean, Xiaomei? I’m much older than you!" The white-haired girl said with arms crossed.
"But..."
"No buts, you should regard me as a senior, hmph."
Zoe pouted, "Alright then, Xiaomei Mei senior."
The white-haired girl gritted her teeth, looking at Li Ang flying beside, "I really admire your patience with her."
"Isn’t she adorable?"
Li Ang didn’t hide his voice, and this was heard by everyone. The breath of White Wolf and Xiaoniu became rapid, the Golden Canary whispered something softly, while Zoe remained unmoving, with a hard-to-contain smile on her face, standing tall with ears slightly reddened.
"Fine, no wonder you all get along. This world’s really strange."
Meimei shook her head, "How do you plan to cross this River of Lava?"
"You three, go." Li Ang said to the Salamanders.
The most lively leader, Firelight Lizard, took the lead. Sparks flickered beneath its feathers, magic power enhancing its running strength, it leapt into the River of Lava, swiftly moving its body to maintain buoyancy.
The flesh-burning magma could not stick to their dense orange-red scales at all, crossing the River of Lava was like crossing ordinary river water.
In fact, they might be more reluctant to cross regular rivers because they’re less adapted to cold river water.
The three Fire Feathered Lizards slowed their pace, merely waiting for Li Ang’s command. Their intelligence realized that even if they were unafraid of lava, their riders might be, and despite being able to support them, they dared not enter the Lava River without Li Ang’s permission.
"Are these... the right Summoned Beasts?"
Zoe and the others were merely intrigued, but Meimei looked deeply shocked.
Li Ang thought her world was indeed a bit off, didn’t anyone properly guide the Savior?
If Meimei and Zoe were seen as the "protagonist" options of the game "Nebis Fantasy," then apparently the "Meluna" world line was a failed route. It could be the designer’s fault, or perhaps the players executing it were too inexperienced.
If the World Wedge is viewed as a game design plan, then the "Meluna Line" is probably an abandoned draft.
Li Ang’s thoughts were somewhat impolite, but there was no ridicule in his heart, as it wasn’t Meimei’s fault.
"Haven’t you fought in volcanic terrain?"
"I have, but primarily using vehicles. There’s the Cloud Wanderer’s Combat Boat, and also their small Flying Airship, though not the speed type of your beast-eared girlfriend, but manufactured by the Dome Furnace Association."
Meimei thought for a moment and said, "On my side, after I gained the ability to fight, I didn’t encounter many Demon Rulers."
"Demon Ruler" refers to those strong individuals whose strength primarily involves controlling Summoned Beasts. Virgil from the Knight Resolution Council is of this type, and due to the sheer number and strength of his summoned demons, he directly acquired the title of "Demon Lord."
"You sound like some event caused their demise, or there was a specific enemy restraining them."
"Yes, there’s an Enlarged Star Soul named Nutiya. She has the title ’Mother of Ten Thousand Beasts,’ and except for the Pure Blood Dragon Race, almost all demons can’t resist her control."
