Chapter 190 Jiang Ming is shocked. His volcano technique is so terrifying? (5K)

"Jiang Ming of Zhenhai Army is a sixth-rank military commander. He is stationed in Dongsang City and is eager to make merit. Now that Captain Liao has greeted him, he will definitely cooperate with us." Chen Shijie introduced him to Zhao Xing in the Yunyu Tower ship in the Gangfeng layer.

"The extinct volcano is now surrounded by Jiang Ming, waiting for us to go there."

"It sounds a bit flattering." Zhao Xing asked, "It's just a small matter, but he, a captain, is going to take charge in person?"

Chen Shijie chuckled and said, "You don't know that the Zhenhai Army is mostly composed of naval forces, and the main force is fighting upstream along the south of the Canglan River."

"The Canglan River battlefield is also one of the main battlefields. The Zhenhai Army's current performance is just average."

"Compared to other armies, it can even be said that they are a bit inferior."

"Among the Pingman Corps, the Zhenhai Army currently ranks last in terms of total combat merit."

"The upper reaches are controlled by Nanhuang, so it's hard for them to gain any advantage. Thanks to the advancement of the battle lines in other battlefields, the four royal courts fought and retreated at the same time, and the Zhenhai Navy made some progress."

Zhao Xing suddenly realized that it was not so easy to tame the Canglan River, not to mention that there was a water witch causing trouble upstream.

Yuncheng was built on the water. He was almost tricked in Yuncheng at the beginning. It was only because a group of geniuses, Xia Jing, Wang Ji, Cao Shuang and others came and worked together that nothing went wrong.

That time, the Insect Wizard only launched a small natural disaster attack on Yuncheng. The Eighth-Rank Insect Wizard took action just to test the waters.

Since the Battle Merit List was opened, the intensity of natural disasters has become more than a hundred times stronger?
The Zhenhai Army may gain some merit here today, but it will be deducted tomorrow.

They followed the battle line for thousands of miles, but ended up not gaining much in the end, which was far below average.

"Seeing that the rest of the friendly troops were eating meat, General Zhenhai 'Lan Hongming' could no longer sit still."

"After much persuasion, I managed to secure an opportunity for my men at the military council of Jiutian Yingyuan Prefecture, allowing 80,000 troops to land, one of which was the troop led by Jiang Ming."

"The other one is Li Que, oh, the boss of Chen Lu whom you rescued last time."

Zhao Xing smiled and said, "The Wolf God Tribe has been almost completely defeated by the Divine Might Army and the Fiery Sun Army. Now the only places left to fight are the Fire Dragon Pass in the southeast and the Fengming Mountains in the southwest."

"This guy really has no luck."

The Zhenhai Army only has a detachment of 30,000 people. It is impossible for them to go into the Fengming Mountains because there are no friendly troops there. Going with such a small number of people into the vast mountains is no different from sending them away.

Continue southwest from the Fengming Mountains and you will reach the toughest nut to crack among the four royal courts - the Yanguang Royal Court.

Babok's sandworm is something that even Master Zhao has nightmares about.

Whoever hits that way will be beaten into a jerk.

"It can't be said to be bad luck." Chen Shijie said, "The Zhenhai Army landed relatively late, and the offensive routes and battle sequences in the war zone have been divided."

"Before they find a good solution, they can only watch and wait for an opportunity."

Before finding the method of using the Earth Fire Lotus, the Fire Dragon Pass could only be attacked brute forcefully.

Jiang Ming could only rely on the rest of the large forces, because he had no say in the division of war zones. Even if he had a mission, he could not pass through other people's defense zones.

Now we are in a favorable situation, you want to take credit? I still want to take credit! How can I give it to you?

Zhao Xing finally understood why Jiang Ming, a captain, was so humble.

Liao Rulong said a word and he went to guard the volcano himself.

It's not shameful to earn military merit.

"We're almost there." Chen Shijie stood in front of the window of the ship and took a look, then quickly walked to the command cabin to give orders.

The first thing they did was to raise the flag of the Shenwei Army to identify themselves to the small flying boats that were surrounding them.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Shijie sent a small flying boat to negotiate and repeatedly confirmed their identities.

Led by fifty small flying boats, they landed in the territory of Dongsang City.

During this period, the defensive formation of the Yunyu Tower ship was required to be released, and the crossbows of twenty small flying boats were always aimed at the Yunyu Tower ship.

"Jiang Ming is also very strict in managing his troops." Zhao Xing also got off the Yunyu Tower boat and followed Chen Shijie on a swordfish flying boat.

"These are all the shadows from the water battle." Chen Shijie whispered, "If you are often ambushed, you will be like this too."

"Someone's coming. The three-leaf flying boat has hoisted the commander's bright moon flag."

Zhao Xing and Chen Shijie have not landed yet.

Jiang Ming took the initiative to take off into the air to greet them.

The flag of the Zhenhai Army is a bright moon hanging above the sea.

The Shenwei Army’s scene is a blue dragon rising into the clouds and surrounded by a sword formation.

"Brother Chen, I'm sorry for not welcoming you in person. I'm sorry for not welcoming you in person."

Jiang Ming is a big, stocky guy with a typical pot belly. He probably can't see his feet if he lowers his head.

His head is also a little fat and round, making him look quite plump.

Zhao Xing could tell at a glance that this person was good at the "gluttony method", and had already practiced it to the fourth level and was at a critical period.

The vitality in his body is much stronger than that of an average sixth-grade cultivator, and both his endurance and defense are beyond the sixth-grade line.

It just may affect flexibility.

If you can't break through, your body shape will remain like this.

"Captain Jiang, you are too polite." Chen Shijie said, "We are the ones who are causing trouble for Captain Jiang."

"No trouble, no trouble!" Jiang Ming smiled, and the fat on his face was squeezed together. "The affairs of the Shenwei Army are the affairs of our Zhenhai Army! We are one family and we don't have to talk about different things."

"Brother Chen, have you eaten? Why don't you take a rest first?"

Jiang Ming's attitude was enthusiastic and even a little humble.

It is obvious that he is one level higher than Chen Shijie, but he never mentions his rank and directly calls Chen Shijie his brother.

That would have been fine, he even called Zhao Xing, who was standing next to Chen Shijie, "Brother Zhao".

However, the two did not look down on Jiang Ming because of this.

Because Zhao Xing understood Jiang Ming too well. In his previous life, he also made a living with a group of brothers.

In order to take the mission and gain military merit, he is even more humble than Jiang Ming. As long as there are benefits, he is willing to be the godfather of a seventh-rank official or a sixth-rank official!
"I have military duties to attend to, so I'd like to see the volcano first," said Chen Shijie.

"Of course, of course." Jiang Ming said with a smile, "I will take the two brothers there right away."

His flying boat led the way, while Zhao Xing and Chen Shijie returned to the Yunyu Tower boat.

Soon they arrived at the south of Dongsang City.

There is a volcano about 600 meters high here.

There is snow on the top of the mountain, but there are peach blossoms on the mountainside. The foot of the mountain is very desolate and there is no grass.

Five miles from the foot of the mountain, a circle of tents was set up, and Jiang Ming's sea-covering ships all stopped there.

Zhao Xing and Chen Shijie requested that the flying boat circle the volcano.

Then he rode down on the cloud and watched it up close.

Jiang Ming accompanied them throughout the whole process, like a bodyguard, and he did whatever the two asked.

"How is it?" Chen Shijie asked Zhao Xing.

"It can be opened." Zhao Xing said, "But we have to evacuate the people first."

"How far to retreat? Is twenty miles enough?"

"Thirty miles, no, maybe forty miles."

Chen Shijie was a little surprised: "So scary?"

"My volcano method is somewhat metaphysical, I don't know how far it will go." Zhao Xing pointed to the tent below, "But at this distance, it will definitely not work."

Jiang Ming was listening at the side and was also a little surprised.

He didn't expect that Zhao Xing was the main force this time, not Chen Shijie.

Jiang Ming had also heard of the volcano method, but he didn't expect that it was Zhao Xinglai who opened this volcano.

And after hearing what the other party said, it seems that the power will be particularly great?
Twenty miles is not enough, isn’t that a bit of bragging?
"Captain Jiang, please evacuate all the people living at the foot of the mountain thirty miles away," said Chen Shijie.

"Okay." Jiang Ming's main focus is on providing good service.

He immediately ordered his troops to pack up and leave.

Following the instructions of Zhao Xing and Chen Shijie, they retreated directly to the wasteland area thirty miles away before stopping.

"Captain, all the warships below level five in the sky should be withdrawn."

Jiang Ming felt a little strange.

My ship is parked in the thousand-meter gale layer. Do I have to withdraw too?
He didn't think much of it, but he did it anyway.

Only his own sea-covering warships were left.

"What should we do next?" Jiang Ming asked.

"Just wait for Zhao Xing to cast the spell." Chen Shijie said.

He and Jiang Ming had already returned to the deck of the warship in the sky.

Zhao Xing flew down towards the volcano.

"Huh~" As the mist under his feet dissipated, Zhao Xing landed on the edge of the crater.

"The crater has a diameter of 359 meters and a depth of 245 meters."

"It can only be called a small volcano."

"It's not very difficult to open this volcano." Zhao Xing thought.

The Dongsang City can only be described as a small volcano.

After all, its height is only about six or seven hundred meters, and its diameter and depth are not large.

If we talk about really big volcanoes, the diameter alone is hundreds of kilometers and the depth is more than five thousand meters.

However, Zhao Xing could not shake that kind of volcano.

Now this small volcano was well within his reach.

"The Volcano Method is an advanced version of the Five Elements Earth-Splitting Method. Although this method only involves the fire element, it still retains the characteristics of luck blessing."

In other words, the volcano method that Zhao Xing knows is still a gambler's tactic.

It just became a high-level spell, and the spell has a specific direction.

"Chichi~"

Zhao Xing jumped onto the limestone in the crater. At this time, only the 20-meter diameter in the center could be seen rising white smoke.

Even the magma can't be seen with the naked eye. "Swoosh!"

A beam of golden light from magic hit one of the spots.

"Gulong~"

A crack appeared in the ground and a spark came out.

Advanced volcano magic, casting is a gradual process.

All mountain methods are like this; it doesn’t work immediately after just a wave of your hand.

Zhao Xing is changing the structure of the mountains.

"Boohoo!"

Rays of magical golden light penetrated into the ground.

After entering the crater, it goes all the way down, deep into the ground.

Every hour, Zhao Xing changed places.

Sometimes he even flies to the middle of the mountain or the foot of the mountain to cast spells.

Either digging up a huge rock or collapsing a piece of mountain soil.

He was like a craftsman, carving the mountain.

Time passed as Zhao Xing cast the spell, and in the blink of an eye, it was three days later.

Jiang Ming accompanied him patiently.

But the volcano now looks no different than it did three days ago.

Is it possible?

Jiang Ming also murmured in his heart.

But he knew very well that an amateur should not command an expert, so even if he had doubts, he kept them in his heart.

Instead, he comforted Chen Shijie and Zhao Xing from time to time and asked them to rest more.

Zhao Xing also went on board the warship to rest twice.

It was mainly because of the high-level spells, which consumed too much energy. Even though he was now at the 38th level of Ju Yuan, it was still difficult for him to withstand such horrific consumption.

"How is it?" Chen Shijie ran over and asked. He had already noticed that the power of the earth veins had changed, especially the power of fire, which had gradually become stronger.

"It's almost there. If I go down one more time, I can activate this volcano." Zhao Xing ate the fruits to replenish his energy like crazy.

When his strength was almost recovered, Zhao Xing was ready to fly down again.

Before leaving, he looked at Jiang Ming and said, "Captain Jiang, are you sure everyone has evacuated?"

Jiang Ming said: "Don't worry, within a radius of thirty miles, except for us in the sky, there is not even a chicken feather below."

"That's good."

Zhao Xing jumped down.

Chen Shijie said, "Captain Jiang, activate the defensive barrier of the sea-covering warship and raise it to 1,500 meters."

"The defense level of the magic circle is set to the highest level."

Jiang Ming couldn't help himself at this moment: "Is this necessary? Our sea-covering warship is a fifth-level top-grade ship. It should be enough to drive it to the second-level defense."

Chen Shijie nodded and said, "It is necessary."

Seeing this, Jiang Ming had no choice but to give the order.

The night of the fourth day.

The quiet night was suddenly broken by a loud explosion.

"Boom!"

It was as if a huge rock hit the ground and caused a collision, but the sound was very dull.

"Boom boom boom~"

Continuous explosions were heard, and the dull sound made even the Zhenhai Army soldiers thirty miles away feel suffocated, as if something was brewing in this world.

It was not as violent as thunder, but it made people feel depressed, as if the world was about to undergo drastic changes.

"What happened? Was it thundering?" Ouyang Song ran out of the tent and looked at the sky.

"It's not thunder." He Yu also ran out. Both of them were military officials and immediately checked what was going on. "It's the volcano."

"No way! We have retreated thirty miles, and we can still hear it?"

He Yu suddenly lay down with his ears pressed to the ground.

"earthquake."

Before he finished speaking, the ground began to shake slightly.

"Quick, notify the commander, the entire battalion continues to retreat!" He Yu roared.

"Ah? Is this necessary?" Ouyang Song asked.

"Have you forgotten what happened when you reported to Shiyang Cave Heaven for training?" He Yu said, "At that time, Zhao Xing had just entered the ninth rank, and a quarantine zone of more than ten kilometers was opened in the Earth Fire Plain."

"Now he is a seventh-rank official!"

"Dude, you need to learn this lesson! Go and notify them!"

Ouyang Song shuddered when he thought of what happened in the past. He almost died of thirst on the Fire Plains at that time.

If Wei Chen from the Black Armor Army hadn't given him a pot of water, he might not have been able to reach Yangcheng.

"I'm going right now!"

Such a dull sound continued for an hour.

Suddenly it stopped and everything seemed to become calm.

But in the next moment——

"boom!"

The night suddenly turned into day.

A mushroom cloud rises from the crater!
In the hot and scorching smoke.

A fiery red beam of light shot straight into the sky, like a fire dragon ascending to the heaven!
The world is changing dramatically!

"Shh!"

Zhao Xing's figure rose quickly and flew out of the black smoke.

He jumped onto the deck of the Fuhailou ship.

Upon seeing this, Chen Shijie immediately yelled, "Run!"

Jiang Ming's scalp tingled because he was standing on the deck looking down. The fiery red light column broke through the thousand-meter gale layer in just a moment.

A large gap was created in the surrounding strong wind layer, and the remaining force continued unabated, reaching the warship's hovering altitude of 1,500 meters in just an instant.

"Full left, up, southeast... grass!"

Before Jiang Ming finished giving all his instructions, he felt a huge force coming from the deck.

The force was so terrifying that he, a sixth-rank warrior, couldn't stand still and was thrown into the air.

The rest of the people were also thrown all over the place, and all crashed into the barrier or the walls of the ship inside.

boom!
The fifth-tier top-grade warship was considered huge, but it was still hit by the erupting column of earth fire and was directly bounced away while spinning!

It was like a spinning top in the air, and in the blink of an eye it was blown three thousand meters away.

Jiang Ming felt dizzy from the blow to his head, and the world around him was spinning. It took a minute for the warship to regain stability.

"Oh my god!" Jiang Ming was dumbfounded. "Is this the volcano method?"

Jiang Ming boasted that he was knowledgeable and experienced. He was able to reach the sixth rank. What kind of scenes had he not seen?

But he had never seen such a scene before.

The crater was originally only three hundred meters in diameter, but now it has exceeded one kilometer!
The lava gave off a fiery breath and was filled with black smoke. The entire top of the crater had been completely burned red, reflecting a red light that was too bright to look directly at.

The red volcanic ash was flying, like dark clouds dancing wildly.

The scorching temperature erupted from deep underground, like a roaring beast seeking to intimidate, making all living beings tremble in the face of such power.

The sky was covered with clouds, and the gale layer could no longer be seen through it.

The ground around the crater continued to tremble, as if the earth was trembling in endless pain.

The volcanic eruption became more and more violent, and the lava flowed across the surrounding wasteland, directly forming a sea of ​​​​magma fire.

The violence and madness of this moment caused a great shock to Jiang Ming's soul.

Now he understood why Chen Shijie and Zhao Xing had repeatedly told him to retreat further away.

The power of heaven and earth, this is the power of heaven and earth!
If the defense of the fifth-tier top-grade warship had not been maximized in advance, the warship might have been burned through by now!
By then, not to mention the other people on the boat, even Jiang Ming’s survival is unclear.

A sixth-grade Tiangang realm cultivator can survive in the Gangfeng layer at an altitude of 1,500 meters.

But now, the 3,000-meter strong wind layer on the crater has been dispersed!
"Is anyone hurt?!"

"Military doctor, where is the military doctor?"

Chen Shijie held onto a mast and shouted immediately when he saw the warship stop.

Jiang Ming also reacted and immediately began to check the condition of the warship and the casualties.

After an incense stick of time, Jiang Ming collapsed to the ground, with cold sweat breaking out on his body.

Fortunately, he listened to the advice and no one died on the warship, but many people broke their bones due to the violent impact.

It’s hard to imagine what would have happened if the defensive barrier hadn’t been opened at that time.

At this moment, Jiang Ming's eyes looking at Zhao Xing completely changed.

His eyes were filled with shock.

"The volcanic method is so terrifying. If my army camp was at the foot of the mountain, wouldn't it have been completely wiped out by now?"
