【Hidden Treasure】

[Treasure Information: None]
This was the earliest treasure information Alka obtained. At that time, no other information was revealed except the difficulty.
Due to various reasons and lack of strength at that time, I was unable to suppress it in my heart.
When preparing to go to this volcanic island and find a way to find this treasure.
Alka has already been investigating information about this area and this island. This kind of public information is very easy to find.
The place where the treasure is located is called Jikerehai.
It seems that because of the volcanic island, the temperature of this sea area has always been slightly higher than the surrounding sea areas.
It is also known in the church that this area is very likely to produce some fire-related spell materials.
I didn't expect that this kind of sea area would be neighbors with the Arctic Triangle.
However, it is different from the Arctic Triangle, which has a cold history of only 800 years.
Jike Rehai Lake seems to have been this hot since records began.
Alka looked at the compass in his palm. This strange spell compass came from an item they found in the treasure house when Sad was young.
Found along with this treasure map .
Always points to the island where the treasure map is located.
The pointer was always pointing forward, which meant that Alka and his team were moving in the right direction, and it was basically certain that it was the island.
As for the Jikere Sea where the islands are located, there is no ruling force at all. The islands in this sea area are all small alliances or autonomous forces.
There is some trade between them, and there are also some larger islands, but they are not very famous and it is a relatively peaceful sea area.
Correspondingly, there are no special specialties. After all, spell materials have nothing to do with ordinary people, not to mention that they are located in a relatively remote corner of the entire Home Sea.
Almost in the southernmost direction and close to the southeast corner.
There are no geographical advantages or important transportation routes.
The island where this treasure is located is called Whirlpool Island, an island that is almost entirely occupied by a volcano.
Two-thirds of the island is covered by volcanoes, and only the circle around the edge may have been formed by the outward expansion of volcanic eruptions over the years.
It should be said that this is a volcano rising from the seabed, not an island.
There are almost no people living on the island and the environment is rather harsh.
This is the little information that Alka and the others know.
When Alka sat in the captain's room and spread out the ancient map in front of him again.
Once again, he clicked on the light spot above.
This time they should be able to obtain more information and make their trip fruitful.

[Treasure information: buried under magma. ]
Sure enough, when he learned about the treasure's surroundings, the light spots on the map provided more information, although it was extremely limited.
But it is completely certain that it is under the magma.
Alka looks at the difficulty.
Lava tolerance, which means if you want to get the treasure, you have to go into the lava.
It also requires the strength of three spirals. There may be some powerful monsters around the lava or volcano, and they are clearly guarding this treasure.
However, judging from some simple information obtained by Alka, there is no such record.
This means it is well hidden and was born only to protect this treasure.
The triple helix is no longer a difficult task for their current team and is no longer a problem that they need to consider.
Alka propped up his head and looked at the lava tolerant.
This is something even more difficult to achieve than the triple helix.
He doesn't think that a physique that has reached the third helix level can withstand the burning of the lava. That would be overestimating himself. He will immediately become a familiar face to you when you go in.
They couldn't even withstand ordinary high-temperature flames, let alone something as outrageous as lava.
We have to think of a way to at least allow them to withstand the high temperature of the lava for a short period of time.
Otherwise, this treasure will have nothing to do with them, unless someday Alka and the others are able to swim in the magma.
But I believe that by that stage, Alka would have no idea where in the Infinite Ocean he was.
In other words, if you don’t get this treasure this time, you will never get it again in the future.
Is it possible that Frost Nova can help them enter the magma?
Alka couldn't help but think of the treasure they had just obtained. Although this treasure was a mission item and had to be handed over to the church, it did not prevent them from using it during this period.
It won't break down after you use it.
After all, it is an ice-attributed treasure, so it is hard not to wonder whether its ability can be used to resist lava.
I just don’t know what effect it can achieve.
Only when you get there will you see again.
…
After a week of sailing, their ship finally passed through the Arctic Triangle.
This week witnessed the rapid rise in temperature in the Arctic Triangle, and when they passed by the Ice Island, the Ice Island also revealed its original appearance.
The thick layer of ice that once covered the island has completely melted and condensed into rivers on the island.
However, the island is still not beautiful enough now, because it has been bare for a long time. I believe that in one or two years it will be completely renewed and regain new vitality.
But the ship was very busy at this time.
Alka and others were holding huge fishing rods and fishing in the sea nearby.
It’s not so much fishing as it is using a fishhook to directly hook the fish swimming forward on the sea.
"Hurry up, pull harder!"
Jason and Alka were holding a boom and pulling it upwards. The hook had already caught a huge sea fish below.
From the strength of the struggle of this sea fish and the splashes of water, it can be seen that its body is extremely large.
Maybe up to two meters.
At this moment, the sea fish was struggling with all its strength.
If you look towards the sea, you can find that the surrounding sea surface is constantly surging, and countless fish are migrating quickly to the distance.
But the only ones who enjoyed fishing were Alka and Jason, because Pororo jumped directly into the sea and caught the fish with his own hands.
For a fisherman, it is impossible to understand the joy of fishing.
As for the ladies, they were not interested in such entertainment.
Instead, Xia Daiti looked at the surrounding scene and couldn't help but say: "These fish should be accustomed to living in cold waters. They came here to live in the past 800 years and are accustomed to the environment here.
Now that the sea is no longer extremely cold, they will leave here too."
Hearing Xia Daiti's words, Julia closed her eyes and moved her ears slightly.
Seems to be listening to something.
After a while she nodded, and then suddenly started singing.
Beautiful singing began to sound.
It seemed like he hadn't sung loudly for a long time, and there was a hint of excitement in his voice.
Julia suddenly jumped off the deck.
In the air, her once human legs immediately merged together and turned into a crystal clear fish tail with colorful scales, which fell into the sea with a splash.
As the fish's tail swayed, Julia swam forward following the school of fish and the boat.
The singing became louder and more beautiful, and the people who were fishing couldn't help but quiet down.
Because this song seems to calm the soul and make the entire sea surface immersed in her singing.
The splashes of water created by the fish rolling along the waves serve as an embellishment to the song.
All the fish gathered around Julia, and she was like a leader commanding the fish.
Seeing this scene, Porro, who was originally catching fish underwater, threw the few fish in his hands onto the deck and stopped moving.
In this situation , catching fish would somewhat ruin the atmosphere.
As the singing began to change its rhythm, several people on the deck began to twist their bodies on the side of the boat.
The song is irresistible and has a touch of magic.
"Xia Daiti, in which direction is the nearest cold sea from here?"
Julia's singing stopped and her voice came over.
Xia Daiti, who was still immersed in the song, was awakened. He then put his hands in a trumpet shape in front of his mouth and said loudly: "The southeast corner of the map is the closest cold sea area to here."
As the words passed, Julia's singing sounded again, but this time the song no longer seemed to be singing for them.
Although the song is still moving, it does not quite fit in with a certain human melody.
It feels a bit weird, and there are sound waves mixed in.
The originally surging school of fish suddenly changed direction and headed towards the southeast corner of the map.
Julia also jumped into the water, and her fish tail turned into human legs in mid-air and landed on the deck.
Her face was filled with a bright smile, and countless water droplets turned into drops and slid down one by one as her azure hair swung.
The hair was dry again in an instant.
Today's singing allowed her to vent her past depression and her mood became much brighter.
She even came over and hugged Xia Daiti, and put her face against Xia Daiti's cheek.
The brand new Lucilia doll sitting on Alka's shoulder said, "See, this is the charm and ability of the mermaids. The creatures in the sea are willing to help her, and she is also willing to help the creatures in the sea."
Hearing this, Alka couldn't help but think of the time when Julia seemed to eat fish as well, and she wouldn't say anything about Porro hunting ocean fish.
This seems inconsistent with her abilities.
Alka expressed his doubts.
"This is the law of nature. As long as you don't randomly and meaninglessly kill marine life on a large scale or destroy the marine environment, the mermaids will not stop this behavior."
From this perspective, mermaids are more like the maintainers and protectors of the ocean.
…
After a period of sailing.
They finally reached their destination.
In the distance, at the end of their vision, they saw a wisp of black smoke drifting into the sky.
The surrounding environment is slightly hotter than other places.
After making a simple replenishment on the island along the way, Alka also learned more information about the volcanic island called Whirlpool Island.
The volcano on this volcanic island is an active volcano. It erupts every few decades, no more than once every 50 years, resulting in a large area around the volcano being uninhabited.
The inhabited islands in this sea area are almost all around the sea area, if this sea area is divided into three rings: outer, middle and inner.
The inner ring is the volcanic island. Every volcanic eruption will seriously affect the environment of this area. As time goes by, it will also cause pollution in the middle ring area.
Only the outer ring was least affected.
Except for scholars from outside who come to conduct volcanic research from time to time, no one will ever go to that volcanic island again.
Following the hot wind, their ship had sailed into the vicinity of the volcanic island.
There is almost no vegetation on the island, and the most eye-catching thing is the orange-red river on the island.
It was a lava river that extended from the bottom of the island all the way to the sea surface, and the rest of the place was completely bare.
Although it was an active volcano, Alka didn't expect that magma was still flowing out of the volcano.
The surging magma flowed into the sea, and they drove the boat around the island and began to observe.
Halfway through the observation, I found a very good place to stop.
Everyone immediately docked the boat over there, then jumped off the sailboat and stepped onto the island.
Pororo was still standing on the deck and waved at them.
This time he will stay on board.
The hot and dry environment of the island made him very uncomfortable, and Julia was also uncomfortable.
If Alka and the others really want to enter the magma to search for treasures, they will need Julia to control the treasures and cooperate.
So she had to bear with it a little, and Julia didn't mind.
Stepping on the sand under their feet, they headed directly towards the crater.
This volcano is very large, but the slope is very gentle and not difficult to climb. You just need to find a good position and walk upwards. There are no steep or high cliffs.
As we walked higher, the air became hotter.
They also saw once again the endless flowing river of magma, and the hot air coming out of it distorted the space.
The humidifier that Alka had made for Julia kept circling around him, spraying out mist.
The humidifier was turned to maximum power to cool down Alka and others.
The pungent smell of sulfur became stronger and stronger.
They finally arrived at the crater.
Looking down.
The astonishing heat hit me in the face, and the orange-red magma liquid below was bubbling and boiling constantly.
Looking at the magma below, the three of them turned their heads and stared at Alka in front of them.
Lucilia, who was sitting on Alka's shoulder, patted his cheek and couldn't help saying, "Why don't we just give up? How are we going to get it?"
Even Lucilia couldn't understand how they could enter the extremely hot magma below and obtain the treasure with their current abilities.
This is simply courting death.
If you commit suicide in this place, there will be no trace of your body left.
Alka looked at the magma below and began to retreat.
Facing it and imagining it are two completely different things.
He had never actually seen what was inside a volcanic cave before, let alone seen the magma.
He felt that even with the help of Frost Nova, it would be impossible to get the treasure.
Not to mention Julia, although she mastered this treasure, she did not have a deep control and proficiency in it.
This treasure is meant for the church. Putting too much energy into it will only backfire and change the properties of the magic circuits in your body.
"How about we give it a try first?" Julia suggested.
Now that I'm here, if I don't try to find a way to do it, wouldn't this trip be in vain? That would be a pity.
Hearing Julia's words, Alka nodded, since she said so.
There is a box at Julia's feet, which is used to store treasures and is currently being kept by Julia.
After all, her strength has reached the triple spiral level, and she also has experience in the six spiral level.
More than enough to protect the treasure.
Then a puppet appeared in Alka's hand. This puppet was the one that Alka had developed when he was making a new body for Lucelia.
Although it has not yet fully achieved the goal of allowing Lucelia to move, this thing itself is already scrapped.
This is just the right time to use it for calculations. If you calculate carefully, this can be considered a magic item.
It's just a little rough.
Julia's eyes changed color again as she regained control of the blue orb.
As Alka and the others approached her, the surroundings also became cooler, which made them breathe a sigh of relief.
"Are you ready?"
Alka nodded.
Julia stretched out a finger, and frost spread from her finger and touched the doll's body.
Thick white frost immediately covered it, and even Alka's palms felt the biting cold.
He did not give up his grip though.
When it was completely wrapped, Alka immediately threw the doll into the lava below.
The doll wrapped in frost soon fell into the magma, and a large amount of white steam quickly poured upwards.
As the outer layer of frost disappeared, the doll was slowly submerged by the magma.
Alka closed his eyes and frowned, and after a moment he opened them.
"It only lasted 10 seconds before the frost plating was burned off."
Being able to stay in the magma for 10 seconds is already an incredible achievement.
But these ten seconds make it difficult for them to reach the treasure below.
Because Alka had originally planned to go down and take the treasure with his dream body.
After a few months of rest, the cracks caused by death have recovered for more than half an hour. Even if he dies once it will not cause any harm, and it will not have any impact on his spirit. But there is only one chance. If he dies one more time, it may damage his spirit, which is somewhat unacceptable to Alka.
Because if you don’t succeed once, you can’t guarantee success next time.
In the end, two opportunities may be wasted.
Going any further might cause irreparable damage, and Alka would never harm his own foundation for the sake of a treasure.
"Then try again. I can apply a thicker layer of frost, as long as the doll can withstand it."
Alka nodded after hearing Julia's words.
A doll appeared in his hand again, and a mirror was placed on the doll's hand.
This mirror was made by Alka through the fusion of cards, which were fused with Xiadaiti's detection ripples.
It's a close-range ripple that can detect the target's situation very clearly.
