A group of six people quietly passed through the stone room, and the light shone down from Mu's body, as if he was covered with a brocade robe.
The stone spirit was still flying around, probably because it couldn't feel the intruder, and its speed gradually slowed down. Wu Gen breathed a sigh of relief and led the six people forward slowly, avoiding the stone spirits floating in the air, for fear of attracting that inexplicable gaze again.
One foot, two feet... finally came to the end of the stone room. At the end, there is a long corridor, and the entrance of the corridor is covered with ivy as thick as an arm.
Walking into the corridor, everything becomes narrow. The long green vines are entangled all around, clinging to the upper and lower sides of the corridor, like exposed veins, which is shocking.
Boom, there was a soft sound, and the bridge guard's foot touched a knife embedded in the ivy. In the silent corridor, the sound came out far away, continuous, like throwing a stone into a deep well.
A piece of green vine suddenly moved, looking around like a snake, searching for the source of the sound. The six people's hearts were raised, they held their breath and stared nervously at Ivy's movements.
As the sound faded away, the ivy slowly fell down and fell to the ground again.
The six people continued to move forward, and suddenly a person appeared on the stone wall on one side, which shocked everyone. This man's body has been deeply buried in the ivy, with only his head exposed. A finger-thick ivy penetrates from the back of his head and emerges from his mouth. His mouth was wide open and his face was ferocious and twisted. He must have endured a lot of pain before his death.
Slowly passing by this person, everyone felt sad. If it weren't for Mu's protection, maybe everyone would be like this at this time.
After walking for a stick of incense, it was getting hotter and hotter, and the air was getting drier. Mu's urgent voice sounded, "Hurry up, I can't hold on anymore."
Wu Gen growled lowly, "Run quickly." Following his footsteps, the pace of the others also suddenly accelerated. The light curtain beside him became increasingly dim, and it was obvious that Mu's soul power was no longer able to be maintained. Finally, before the light curtain disappeared, the six people ran out of the corridor.
Snap, Mu fell from the sky without saying a word. Wu Gen quickly caught it in his hand, only to find that Mu had fallen asleep and his soul power had been exhausted.
He patted his body gently and tied it to his arm again. Ahead is a larger space with a smaller crater in the middle. The volcano vibrates regularly as if it is breathing. Every time it vibrates, magma will gush out, sparks will splash, thick smoke will billow, and the smell of saltpeter will pungent. The surrounding magma flows, forming rivers of fire, rushing towards the surroundings, flowing to the edge of the stone chamber and disappearing.
There are also some stone pipes on the volcano, connecting various parts of the stone chamber. Every time magma erupts, these pipes are constantly vibrating. There are also large and small holes on the walls of the stone chamber. These holes are sometimes large and sometimes small, and some of the smoke and dust in the stone chamber are discharged.
Wu Gen made a gesture and took the lead in walking towards the pipeline closest to him. I gently put my hand on it. The pipe was slightly warm but not hot. I tried to climb up. It was hard and could carry several people without any problem.
Move forward step by step, jumping to other pipes from time to time, and gradually pass the volcano. Looking down, in the crater, the dark red viscous magma is like cooked thick porridge, bubbling and popping. New magma surges out from time to time, and the burned red rocks are pushed into the air and then fall quickly. Leaving a red arc in the smoke-filled sky.
Ordinarily, a place like this would be shaped like a desert, but Wu Gen felt that there was a hidden force of life here. Just as he was wondering, footsteps came from behind, but it was Feng'er who followed.
Suddenly, several bright red long-tailed fish swam out of the lava, spitting flames and playing with each other, making sonorous screams. In this scorching death place, I didn't expect that there could be living things.
Looking at the red fish playing in front of her, Feng'er's eyes opened wider and wider, and her excitement was beyond words.
"What is this?" Wu Gen asked curiously. Feng'er acted so abnormally that he must have recognized the origin of these red fish.
"I once read an ancient book, which records that there is a fish in the fire, named Red Scale, whose sound is like a stone chime. It can be used to enter elixirs, refine weapons, practice fire techniques, or be a foreigner with fire nature, and you can achieve great progress in your cultivation. It can become a fire elixir. I originally thought it was just a legend, but I didn't expect to see the real thing today." Feng'er stared at the red fish in the lava at his feet.
"If you help me, I promise to
Your grudges are wiped out. Feng'er suddenly turned to look at Wu Gen, her eyes burning.
Wu Gen looked at her and then at Qi He, "As long as you live up to others, it doesn't matter if I help you once." Everyone followed Wu Gen's eyes, which made Qi He look uncomfortable, and the latter He just saluted Wu Gen, and the meaning was self-explanatory.
"Red Scale hides in the magma, making it difficult to catch. I transformed into it and stirred up the magma. When Red Scale jumps out in fright, I can catch it." Feng'er pointed at the flow of fiery red magma that was still spitting out bubbles. .
Wu Gen squatted down and rubbed his chin, "Catching fish is not difficult, but what should we use to catch it? We don't have anything on hand that is not afraid of fire."
Feng'er bit her lip and thought for a moment, then suddenly blushed and said to Qihe, "You come with me."
The two of them walked along the pipe to a corner, and Feng'er asked Qihe to use some loose clothes to prop up a screen. As soon as he took off his coat, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. He put his head towards Wu Gen, who was standing on tiptoes and looking curiously with his mouth open and eyes wide open. He shouted: "You disciple, turn around and don't peek." "
Wu Gen suddenly realized this and quickly covered the eyes of the bridge attendant next to him. Without his greeting, Shui Congyue had already turned his back to Feng'er, while Baoxiang wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and turned his head reluctantly.
Qi He raised his clothes high and closed his eyes tightly. After hearing a rustling sound, he said, "Okay, open your eyes."
Feng'er's face was crimson, she was shyly grabbing something, and hurriedly walked to Wu Gen, "Here, this thing is not afraid of fire, it can be used to catch Red Scale."
Wu Gen lowered his head and saw that what Feng'er was holding was his bellyband. The bellyband is bright red, embroidered with phoenix and phoenix, and has the fragrance of a girl. Now it was Wu Gen's turn to be embarrassed. He couldn't pick it up or not, so he turned around and shouted with a dark face, "Qihe, get over here, I'll leave the catching of fish to you."
Qi He blushed and walked over nervously, reaching out to take it. However, Feng'er did not give him her bellyband. She glanced at Qi He apologetically and said, "Wu Gen, I think you have seen big storms, so why are you still sticking to this common etiquette? You move very quickly, you can Walking on the water, the red scales have a very short time to jump out of the lava, so catching fish is something you cannot do."
Wu Gen opened his mouth and looked at Qi He nervously, before the other party saluted, "I'm sorry to bother you, Brother Wu."
In desperation, Wu Gen had no choice but to take the bellyband in his hand. Regardless of the narrow eyes of Baoxiang next to him, he said seriously: "Miss Feng'er, let's get started." Five
After a long cry, Feng'er transformed into a big fiery red bird, with sparkling light and flames flying around it. It was the first time for Baoxiang and others to see Feng'er transform, and they were all amazed. Shui Congyue frowned, thoughtfully.
The firebird circled in the air and plunged straight into the rolling lava. Wu Gen grabbed the strap of his bellyband and stared at the movement of the magma.
The originally tepid magma suddenly boiled, and the fiery red water violently spewed into the air. When it fell outside the volcano, it turned dark red and slowly flowed along the rocks.
Thick smoke suddenly billowed all around, and the choking smoke filled the stone chamber. Looking at the surging waves of fire, Wu Gen turned his head to look at Qi He. This thing was a little too unreliable.
This hot magma could melt even fine iron. If I hadn't avoided it accidentally, these people would have been able to eat barbecue.
He wanted to hand his bellyband to Qihe, but the other party deliberately avoided his eyes. This is your daughter-in-law's personal belongings. How can you bear it? Wu Gen secretly cursed in his heart.
Suddenly, a three-inch-long small fish jumped out of the lava. Compared to the huge crater, it looked really petite. If Wu Gen hadn't been watching carefully, it would have been difficult to spot him.
Wu Gen exerted force under his feet, and suddenly disappeared from the place. When he reappeared, he was already on top of the magma. With a smooth movement, his feet thumped in the air, and he was back on the pipe beside the crater.
"Hot, hot, hot." As soon as he reached the pipe, Wu Gen stretched his hands behind his back and jumped wildly with his feet. Just when I turned around on the lava, a few drops of lava splashed on my back. Several holes were burned in my clothes, and a series of huge blisters quickly appeared on my body.
"How about it? I'll do it if it doesn't work." Shui jumped over from Yue and said with concern.
Wu Gen wiped his face and had an extra
The layer of ash chips contains both rock chips and its own ash. The eyebrows on his face had been burnt brown, and when he touched it with his hand, only half of his eyebrows were left, which looked quite funny.
"This damn place is too hot. If you stay here for a little longer, it will become unbearably hot. No, come and try it from Yue." Wu Gen bared his teeth and shook the bellyband in his hand. A red fish fell to the ground with a loud scream. of churning.
Qiao Ban and others gathered around excitedly and looked carefully at the small fish, which was no bigger than a palm. Chi Lian's whole body was red, without any trace of color. The body is as soft as water, with circles of ripples appearing on its surface. Everywhere he went, flames were igniting beneath his body, and even the stones were burned red.
After a while, the bright red color on Chi Lin's body turned dark, and his screams gradually became weaker. It was obvious that he could not survive for long without the magma.
While Wu Gen handed the bellyband to Shui Congyue, he turned around and looked behind him, "Why do you feel so cold?"
Following his gaze, the corners of Shui Congyue's mouth twitched twice unconsciously. Wu Gen's clothes from his back to his buttocks were filled with holes, making it difficult to cover his body. As Wu Gen moved, the breach continued to flash with white light.
"Wu Gen, in terms of running speed, you are definitely the first among the six. I think you can only do it yourself to catch the fish. However, you can tie the belly... and the fish bag to the halberd. , so the range can be further." Shui Congyue thrust the euphorbia into Wu Gen's hands, and kindly came up with an idea. He turned around and walked in the direction of the red scales on the ground, completely ignoring the mess in Wu Gen's smoke behind him.
"Cong Yue, you can do it, you..." Wu Gen handed over his halberd and bellyband, but Shui Cong Yue left without looking back.
"A bunch of heartless people." Wu Gen cried sadly. Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he had to turn around and walk towards the crater again.
