Fortunately, I didn't encounter the trouble I imagined. When I was anxious, Taotao's figure appeared behind a few thick smoke. He rushed to me quickly, as if he sensed the worry in my heart, and used his big head to snuggle me intimately. After a brief exchange, it turned out that just after I was resurrected, a skeleton mage holding a magic bone staff walked towards me. It could use the magic of the Nether Fire magic to conduct long-range attacks. If it approached a certain distance, it would be very dangerous. Taotao was worried that I would encounter it when I appeared, so he went forward and provoked it and lured it to a little far away nearby, so as not to threaten me who came in again.

After two evolutions, the little guy's wisdom has improved rapidly, and he has made great progress. He can better understand what I mean. He will take correct actions on his own and take protecting my safety as his top priority. This is also one of the reasons why I have been so worried about "cultivating" it. Red Star only showed a little independent consciousness in battle, and it still has great limitations. It may be because the Horror Knight itself is not a kind of undead with high IQ and has limited space for growth. If the evolutionary Taotao can be cultivated into an absolute obedience to my orders and relatively complete independence.

The top pet with consciousness makes full use of its abilities to serve me, and no longer need to give detailed instructions and commands on how it should act, it will be of much help to me. Especially in some critical moments, if a pet has a high enough IQ, he can judge the danger according to the situation in a timely manner and launch rescue operations in advance, which is equivalent to an additional layer of guarantee. Although there is no specific explanation in the official information, some senior players have already put forward similar views. Based on my actual situation, they can naturally be verified, and I can't help but believe it.

I patted Taotao's big head and encouraged it, and then continued to move towards the top of the mountain. The environment became more and more dangerous and the situation became more and more dangerous. The "magma fire rain" gradually became rare, and replaced by the frequent "lava storms". It was no longer just smashing a huge or fist-sized lava like I did at the beginning, at least hundreds of basketballs, with some larger ones mixed in between. Once I encountered it, I would definitely die.

For foreign creatures who broke into the "Hell Volcano", there is no need to say anything else. The "lava storm" that hit the head is an absolutely insurmountable "gate of hell". If I were just me, relying on my own reactions and avoiding it after hearing the sound of lava breaking through the air, I am afraid I don't know how many times have I died. A large area of ​​lava fell down, and the body speed was not enough to avoid it. I can only leave it to fate to see luck and pray not to hit it on myself. But luck is not my exclusive equipment, and I can rely on it to protect it once or twice. Over time, it will not "cover" me all the time. As long as it takes a nap occasionally, I may die.

The reason why we can continue to persevere is thanks to Taotao. The extremely harsh living environment of "Hell Volcano" is simply tailor-made for undead creatures of Hellfire. The overwhelming "lava storm" does not have much threat to undead creatures living in this area. They can always predict the location of the lava falling down in advance, so as to make timely dodges. Even if the coverage area of ​​the "lava storm" is relatively large, their movement speed is not very fast. At least they can avoid the central area of ​​the attack. With their powerful strength, as long as they are not particularly unlucky to be hit by the huge volcanic lava, they generally will not suffer fatal damage. As a hell skeleton horse, Taotao, also a hellfire undead creature, has inherited this ability and can detect threats from the air in advance, accurately judge the direction and coverage range of the attack, and hide in a relatively safe place in time.

When you first entered the "Hell Volcano", Taotao may not perform well and react slowly because he was not familiar with and adapted. Sometimes he even dodged the wrong direction and would suffer damage. Fortunately, most of them were "magma fire rain", which was mixed with a small amount of lava, and occasionally a "lava storm" appeared. The mistakes made were not fatal. As time went by, the innate instinct was gradually aroused and his performance was getting better and better. When he entered the relatively dense area of ​​"lava storm", Taotao had already made accurate judgments on the incoming situation of the "lava storm" like those undead creatures born and raised on the volcano, and could accurately judge the situation of the "lava storm" and avoid danger in a timely manner. I didn't care about its ability at the beginning, but I was just happy that I didn't have to distract myself from it.

, I can concentrate on taking care of myself. Later, "lava storms" appeared more and more frequently, which made me feel worried and constantly wondering how to prevent it. It was not until one time when I was almost killed by a volcanic lava, and Taotao, who was originally by my side, escaped safely at the right time. Then I woke up and carefully questioned it and finally figured out its supernatural power. It was not obvious that it could be used by me! After borrowing its light, I tried my best to follow it and avoided the invasion of countless "lava storms". Taotao's wisdom is still not high enough and needs further improvement. I don't know how to remind me that the master, I should use it earlier, which made me worry for so long.

Fortunately, I have had the previous experience of hard climbing and gradually adapted to the terrain here. It was no longer as difficult as it was at the beginning. Although the mountain was as steep as it was, it was no longer too difficult to climb. Even if I was harassed from heaven and earth from time to time, I still supported it. All of this is in line with the overall design concept of "The World". It is easy to start and then difficult, gradually increasing the difficulty, giving you time to adapt. "There is no way out". There is still a glimmer of hope in the seemingly extreme danger. As long as you are lucky, you may do something beyond your ability.

The more you move forward, the harder it will be, and the situation will be even more dangerous. The difficulties encountered are definitely beyond my imagination. I originally thought that the "Phoenix Feather Cloak" with fire immunity should be able to resolve most of the dangers and the itinerary will be much smoother. Unexpectedly, it is just the most basic requirement to enter the "Hell Volcano" and is not a real test at all. Every step forward must be careful, highly concentrated, and keep in touch with Taotao at all. As soon as you notice the movement of the wind and the situation will be running with all your strength. It is almost at the point of being nervous allergic. Even if it just runs and jumps a few steps at will, I will follow it and chase it happily without thinking. The only consciousness is to be sure to be inseparable from Taotao to ensure safety.

In addition to the harsh natural environment, the increasing number of undead creatures also poses a great threat to me. Although they do not have a fixed territory and are just wandering aimlessly on the volcano, each individual seems to have an insurmountable sphere of influence, and other undead creatures are absolutely not allowed to invade. Moreover, according to the strength and weakness of strength, they seem to be different. At the same distance, they can be safe and sound. If they change to another undead creature, they will be attacked and expelled. The four forbidden areas in the "Dead Space" are hidden secret places, and there is no public information for reference. The things they encounter in front of them are all undead creatures that are not recorded in the "Collection of Undead creatures". The old man just mentioned it roughly. No matter how I asked, I would not explain the specific situation. I couldn't figure out the strength level of these undead creatures, and could not accurately judge the sphere of influence of each undead to avoid them. I could only be as small as possible.

Behave your heart and avoid them from afar. Fortunately, these guys are rarely known for their speed. After getting familiar with the terrain and mastering certain climbing skills, relying on "One Rider" and "Movement Phantom", melee type cannot catch up with me. Occasionally, encounter some guys who are faster than me, and can also use "Discovery Fog" to trap them and gain time to escape. The undead who can attack range also use fire magic, with "Phoenix Feather Cloak" to protect them, as long as they are not

It was directly hit by powerful attack magic, and ordinary attacks did not cause much damage to me. The biggest trouble these undead creatures brought me was that they had to change their routes frequently, and they needed to bypass them from time to time to avoid causing trouble and causing unnecessary conflicts. Sometimes they even encountered several undead blocking the way, and had to move parallel for a long distance to avoid it. It often took a lot of time, and six hours might not be able to move forward much.

I spent nearly five days climbing a "hell volcano" of three or four thousand meters. If it weren't for Taotao and I, both agile individuals, had they survived by speed several times, and it would have been impossible to break through many dangers and successfully reach the top of the mountain. Of course, this is also due to Taotao's intelligence and alertness. Even when I had to go offline to rest, it could avoid those dangers in time and survive alone in such a harsh environment, only revolving around the area I designated for it, unless I encountered anything

It's so dangerous, generally not violate my instructions, and I will soon come over to join me after I re-enter the "Neon Space". However, after so long, in addition to being more agile in physical exercise, I also responded to external behaviors faster. I did not make any profit in major tasks such as qualifications and conquering my subordinates. For Taotao's growth and evolution, I have invested a lot of time and money, just hope that these efforts can help me achieve a satisfactory result, and never let me down.

The top of the "Hell Volcano" is a large flat land, which is estimated to be at least four or five square kilometers. Unlike the "lava storm" that erupts from time to time on the mountain, the top of the mountain is quite quiet and has not been disturbed by the outside world. Not only will the scattered lava not fall here, but even the undead creatures are not seen. The most eye-catching and most occupant is a huge magma pool, with fiery red magma boiling in the pool.

It rolled endlessly, making a "gulp, gulp" sound. Bubbles of different sizes popped up from time to time on the surface of the magma pool. After a "bang" sound burst out, a white light smoke rose, which instantly dissipated invisible. I think this should be the "hell magma pool" introduced by the dead old man that can help Taotao grow and evolve. It is indeed very different from the black and red magma in the craters or cracks on the mountainside. It has no impurities and looks more pure in texture.

Is this successful? I almost couldn't believe it. Although I was delayed a lot of time, I finally arrived at the top of the mountain smoothly and saw the "Hell Magma Pool". The middle way was more tested by the harsh natural environment. It was not as life-and-death battle with unknown powerful undead creatures as imagined. This was the first time I encountered such a situation in previous missions, which was a bit beyond my expectations. In fact, if I thought about it carefully, the threat of the environment alone was not as terrible as I was. As long as I was not in a hurry to achieve success, I would do it steadily and step by step, with Taotao as a guide to avoid danger. In addition, if I was willing to spend two more days, if I was not so rushing, I could reduce a lot of risks. Many dangers could also be avoided. There was no need to worry about it for so long. I almost went to see the dead old man several times. Now I still feel a little scared when I think back.

All the dangers have passed, and now it is time to pick the fruits of victory. With a command, Taotao, who seemed to be unable to control himself, looked up at the head of the leader, and rushed over quickly, eager to enjoy the "magma bath" I have described it many times to catalyze his growth.

After such a distance, Taotao ran with all his might, he jumped into the "Hell Magma Pool". Following my instructions, I swam for a while, and felt that there was no discomfort, and then sneaked into the bottom of the pool, so that I could better absorb the energy of the magma. There was nothing I had done about me next. According to the information revealed by the dead old man, according to Taotao's current strength, I could soak in the "Hell Magma Pool" for ten days every month. Without it as a "guide", I would not dare to go down the mountain alone. It seems that there will be no way to get in the "Dead Space" in the next ten days. I can only switch to the human world and find something to pass the time.
