Chapter 751: The Volcano (1/2)

Lin Mu and Little Shrubby had a few battles during their travel to the volcano but were still unhurt. Though they were certainly tired. Normally such travel would not have exhausted them even if they traveled for over a month without stop.

But when one added battles against other Nascent soul realm beasts and core condensation realm beasts, it meant that their spirit Qi stores would be used up and slow them down.

They thus needed to take breaks from time to time to rest and recuperate before they could head on ahead. After all, if they tried to rush through without properly resting, they might be in greater danger than normal.

After all, the same attacks they faced could become deadly if they had no spirit Qi to defend with or deal with the situation appropriately. But on the plus side, this also gave them the opportunity to eat the beast corpses that they had obtained during this time.

Unlike the last time when they only had saw toothed Tuna and the Green tailed howler monkey chief to eat, they now had over four Nascent soul realm beasts to eat for each person.

They took full advantage of it and ate two beasts each that night. Of course, the scent of the cooking meat attracted several more beasts but that was just more bonus for Lin Mu and Little Shrubby as they were basically serving themselves for later.

”So this is called a volcano?” Little Shrubby questioned.

”Yes.” Lin Mu replied.

”I've never seen one before.” Little Shrubby spoke.

”I haven't either. I've only read and heard about them.” Lin Mu replied.

”Why are they so hot and what's the hot liquid coming out of it?” Little Shrubby questioned.

”Hmm… from what I've read, the hot liquid coming out of it is called lava. And that hot liquid is what exists deep within the earth. I've even heard that the inside of the world is a fireball that continues to burn. But I don't know if that is true or not.” Lin Mu replied.

”A fireball? Like the sun?” Little Shrubby asked.

”Maybe.” Lin Mu replied.

”You're half correct.” Xukong suddenly spoke.

”Oh? So what's the reality senior?” Lin Mu questioned.

”The lava does indeed come from deep within the earth. And the thing about a fireball burning within the world can be considered to be half correct. But it's not actually a fireball… rather it's a mass of different materials all being melted together and burning.

They form into a massive ball that is under a great pressure. The pressure is so much that it can't turn into liquid and neither can it become gas. Thus even at a great temperature, it continues to be in a solid state.

This is what constitutes as the 'core' of the world. It contains a great attraction force that keeps the world together. It also spins in the center of the world keeping the world stable.

If anything happens to it or if it stops, the entire world would be destroyed.
