Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 638: Lava Guard

The fiery light that rose from the lake was reflected by rough scales like smoke and mist. They circled in mid-air and were smashed into pieces by a huge head, turning into orange halos. It was like a lizard's head that had been magnified tens of thousands of times. Its head was covered in rough and hard scales. Six golden eyeballs were distributed on both sides of its head, and magma seemed to be flowing in the depths of each eyeball.

Scorching smoke dragons wrapped around its head, flashing past three thick horns. These rugged horns had red lines on them, like volcanoes on the verge of erupting. On the crown made of bones and scales, there were short spikes of cuticle around it. On top of that, there were numerous fiery red lines, constantly emitting strands of smoke.

This hillock-like head pierced straight into the lava lake and drank the boiling lava!

"It's unbelievable." Alan watched in astonishment. The Dark Titan was already considered a colossus, but in front of this monster, he only had one leg. His mountain-like body naturally emitted an indescribable might. Who could have imagined that there would be such life beneath the planet?

Catherine suddenly pointed her scorpion spear at him, "Look over there?"

Alan's gaze fell on the giant beast as he followed her spear. It was lying on the ground, so the part of its body that was hidden in the clouds pulled at the smoke and jumped into Alan's field of vision. On Mother Earth's thick back, many peaks rose like real mountains. They were like factory chimneys that continuously emitted billowing hot smoke. The thickest of them was like a volcano crater. Not only did it spit out hot smoke, it also occasionally spat out sparks.

Suddenly, the earth trembled. It turned out that Mother Earth's entire body was lying on the ground. Just this seemingly inconspicuous collision caused a gust of hot wind to sweep up the rubble and dust, blowing out a ring of grey smoke that rolled in all directions. The giant beast let out a cheerful cry, then buried its head and drank the magma that was like the blood of a planet.

As the giant beast absorbed the magma, its body trembled. A moment later, giant rocks bounced off its body. Each giant rock was at least three to five meters square. They flew into the sky and drew a parabola. Like a lava bomb, it descended from the sky with traces of flames, smashing into the ground and the magma river two after another, causing gravel to splatter and magma to fly everywhere.

Alan and Catherine looked at each other, not knowing what the Behemoth was doing.

They'll know soon enough. josei

There were at least a few hundred of these huge rocks on the ground. One of the rocks suddenly shook violently, and then cracks appeared on its surface that glowed with red light. The rock suddenly protruded, split, and stretched out, forming two arms with edges and corners on the surface. These two arms pressed against the ground and pushed upwards, and a head like a rhinoceros emerged from the stone. However, the rhinoceros didn't have a single horn on its head. Instead, it stretched out from both ends of its forehead with rough, red-striped horns.

When a pair of anti-articulated legs stretched out from below and the fiery claws clenched against the ground, the humanoid monster, which had been transformed from rock, stood up on the ground. It opened its mouth and let out a wild roar. As the roar spread out, an X-shaped crack appeared on the monster's chest. Then, all the lines on its body were lit up. With a boom, orange flames sprayed out from the two corners of the monster, burning incessantly around the corners.

These monsters kept appearing on the ground. In the blink of an eye, hundreds of balls of fire appeared on the ground, illuminating Alan and Catherine's eyes.

Before the two of them could land on the ground, they saw the monsters filled with fire and rock aura begin to gather towards the corpses of the exotic beasts scattered on the ground. The beasts that fell from above did not all fall into the abyss mouth of the Mother Earth, and many fell to the ground or into the river of lava. The monsters that had escaped from Mother Earth's body headed straight for the corpses of exotic beasts. Often, three or two of these monsters would pick up a corpse, then tug at it forcefully, and then they would start to eat it.

As the food entered their stomachs, the aura on their bodies became even more intense, and the flames on their bodies became even brighter.

"What are these things?" "They're like parasites," Ellen sighed.

These things looked like they should normally be attached to Mother Earth's body in the form of giant rocks. Only now did they leave Mother Earth for some unknown reason, appearing in the form of a human-shaped monster. From the looks of it, they should normally be in a state similar to hibernation, but now that they have awakened, they naturally eat a large amount of food.

"Lava Guard." Katherine took a step forward: "According to the hunter's legend, Mother Earth created an army to protect herself because of her size and inconvenience. That army was the Lava Guard." There is no specific information on such legends, some even from patterns and symbols left behind by ancestors, and biologists who studied Mother Earth collected a large number of relevant legends for analysis and integration, resulting in a more substantiated version. "

"Mother Earth feeds on the magma of the earth's core. After absorbing the magma, it decomposes it. Pure energy was absorbed by Mother Earth, and impurities were expelled from her body. But in the process, these impurities somehow mixed with the cells of Mother Earth. These cells, based on the magma, reconstruct their bodies after being expelled from their bodies and eventually form lava guards. "

Catherine said in a low voice, "The lava guards carry the genes of Mother Earth, so they have similar properties." Moreover, because it directly carried the Earth Mother gene, the Earth Mother did not reject these creatures. Its enormous body was the parasitic platform of the lava guards. "The Lava Guards are directly controlled by Mother Earth. As their names imply, these monsters are Earth Mother's most loyal soldiers."

"Then we'd better get out of here. The Origin Energy levels of these lava guards are all around Level 14 to Level 15. There are quite a few of them that are close to Level 20. The strength of this army is not to be trifled with." Alan frowned. There were hundreds of guards around Mother Earth. At the very least, these soldiers were around Level 15, while the higher ones were at Level 20. Even if Catherine faced this army, it would be very difficult for her to obtain any benefits. Moreover, there was a Mother Earth whose aura was as unfathomable as an ocean of rage. In any case, the best choice for the two of them was to leave this place.

Catherine raised her scorpion spear and pointed at the lofty mountain range in the distance. "No, I'm going there!"

Her eyes had turned fanatical, and Ellen couldn't help but moan, "Are you crazy? I won't accompany you in this kind of action that's no different from committing suicide."

"That's not up to you" Catherine suddenly turned her head, her long gray hair fluttering in the middle of the black wind. At this moment, Allen's eyes were almost confused.
