Tianjihong swore that the pressure coming from below at this time was absolutely unprecedented in his life. Even Huo Yunluan, who was called the overlord of Dongyun Mountain by his master yesterday, did not say that it brought him such a sense of oppression. At this time, the existence under the abyss seemed to have just woken up, and its successive actions were nothing more than dissatisfaction with the ants above for disturbing its sweet dreams. It was not launching an offensive specifically against itself at all. But even so, the pressure coming from an unknown distance below was already unbearable for Tianjihong.
What's worse is that Tian Jihong, who was looking frightened at this time, slowly looked behind his feet, only to find that from the bottomless depths of the earth, a powerful force that could collapse half of the village was stretched out. giant tentacles. The long brown beard, which is fully fifty meters in diameter, slowly rises toward the top of the cave like a test, looking like it is groping for something.
He immediately understood that this terrifying tentacle that filled the entire cave must be part of the body of the existence at the bottom of the cliff. From the current situation, its continuous stretching movements were like those of humans after being harassed by mosquitoes. At this time, he was just trying to drive away outsiders who disturbed him in the cave.
But before Tianjihong made any reaction, the tentacles that filled the entire cave space had already sensed the many fire toads falling into the abyss on the edge of the platform. The unknown existence below finally seemed to be angered and began to perform the Destruction of Heaven. ground offensive. Tianjihong, who was clinging to the stone wall, suddenly felt that the world was spinning, and the world-destroying fluctuations coming from under his feet seemed to shake the entire mountain range; compared with the numbing size of the tentacles, the narrow space in the cave was obviously restrictive. The former is effective, but even so, every time the tentacles below collide with the cave wall, a terrifying and devastating power will be produced in the passage.
What makes Tianjihong feel the most troublesome now is that although the tentacles under his feet can only extend up to the magma lake platform just now due to size limitations, the aftermath of their constant collisions has shaken the passage home above his head. Everything is in disarray. The granite on the ceiling of the exit above was torn apart by the aftermath of the waves transmitted through the stone walls, as if it had been hit by an earthquake. Huge boulders the size of a house were falling above me all the time, even if Tianjihong was now attached to the stone walls. Even if he doesn't move, he is still facing life-threatening danger. If he wants to climb out of the cave against falling rocks in such an environment, it may be as difficult as climbing to the sky.
Seeing that the passage above has become a road to hell, even if he is lucky enough to resist the falling boulders and climb to the top of the slope, by the time he reaches the entrance of the cave, it will probably have been blocked by collapsed granite. . Therefore, Tianjihong immediately gave up the idea of moving forward. At this time, thinking about how to save his life was the most important thing. At the moment, the only place to avoid the falling rocks is the magma lake platform that he desperately escaped from a few minutes ago.
Forced to have no choice but to avoid the falling rocks above, Tianjihong slowly moved closer to the platform below. But at this moment, the tentacles under my feet were still disturbing the edge of the platform, trying to extend their ends deeper into the magma lake and catch all the escaping fire toads.
It's a pity that even though this tentacle has the terrifying brute force of piercing clouds and cracking rocks, its huge size makes it difficult to squeeze into the platform passage that is only two or three people high. Under the constant beating of the suction cup at the end, which is the size of a millstone, it only makes a mess of the rocks around the platform. If you want to open a passage at the entrance that is large enough to accommodate its huge size, it will definitely be completed in a while. Can't.
The fire toads in the magma lake escaped because of this. Most of the fire toads retreated hastily when they sensed the oppression of soul power, and were not caught up by the tentacles behind them in the first place. However, Tianjihong, who was outside the platform and trying to squeeze in again, was actually complaining secretly. Right now, his only way out is blocked by a terrifying tentacle that can pierce the sky, and he is faced with the threat of falling rocks from the top of the cave. Anyone in this situation will feel suffocated.
The only thing that is beneficial to me now is that the being under the abyss does not focus on Tianjihong. Although the tentacles under his feet have firmly occupied the entrance to the platform channel, the width of the platform is still far greater than the diameter of the tentacles. , so Tianjihong can still find some gaps in the corner of the entrance to avoid the twitching range of the tentacles. After a quick observation, Tianjihong took advantage of the moment when his tentacles were waved into the air again to accumulate power. He leaned close to the leftmost edge of the platform and rushed into the passage with a bow, and then sprinted forward desperately. .
He knew that when he entered from the edge, he did not have to worry about close contact between the tentacles and his body, but this did not mean that Tianjihong would not be affected by the impact of the impact of the hole. Now that he had successfully avoided falling rocks and saved his life, he had to move deeper into the lake as quickly as possible, as far away from the edge of the outer platform as possible. Otherwise, if something else happens later and he is affected by the attack range of the tentacle, with his ability, he may end up with broken muscles and bones with just a slight touch.
Just after Tianjihong rushed out for more than ten steps, there was finally a shocking sound of impact behind him. It was obvious that the tentacles in the abyss once again hit the entrance of the passage severely, and countless falling rocks rolled into the abyss. , the stone wall at the top of the platform once again expanded to a height of nearly one meter. As Tian Jihong expected, even though he was already fifty meters away from the cave entrance when the collision occurred, he was still lifted up one foot in the air by the violent vibrations on the ground and the shock wave behind him. After rolling several times and hitting the rock wall at the top of the cave, it crashed heavily between stalactite pillars.
At this point Tianjihong finally got rid of the threat of the giant tentacle behind him. Even with the scars all over his body and the little spiritual power left in his body, Tianjihong could not help but scream to the sky, feeling extremely excited about his narrow escape. He has never been so close to death since he was born. You must know that the existence in the abyss is enough to kill him thousands of times even if he just moves his fingers. Tianjihong can stand in close proximity with such a terrifying existence. If a life is saved after contact, it will inevitably give rise to the pleasure of surviving the disaster.
It's just that the current situation is still not optimistic. Now there are tentacles threatening Tianjihong and a cave that continues to collapse. It is absolutely impossible to turn back and escape. The only thing left before him was to continue walking along the lake shore towards the depths of the platform, and see if he could find another way out at the end, or at least find a relatively safe place to restore his spiritual power first, and wait until the incident behind him was over. Then think of another way.
The good news for Tianjihong now is that, with the pressure of the unknown existence behind him, all the fire toads in the magma lake had already disappeared. They either fled towards the inside of the channel like himself, or hid themselves at the bottom of the magma lake. In the deepest part, they will definitely not pose any threat to Tianjihong in a short period of time. Therefore, after getting up from the pile of rocks, Tianjihong no longer had to be wary of attacks from his side, so he quickened his pace and headed deeper into the lake along the previously explored path.
In the cave with limited vision, Tianjihong had never been able to observe the entire lake. Only now did he realize that he still underestimated the size of the magma lake. After trekking for several miles from the starting point to around the edge of the lake, Tianjihong basically did not dare to delay except for a brief stop to pick up all the few spiritual fruits left behind. At this point, the movement caused by the giant tentacles behind him was almost imperceptible, but the lake at his feet still had no end in sight.
However, judging from the current trend, Tianjihong has already noticed that he is climbing against the current towards a higher altitude. According to his analysis, the lake next to him probably won't extend much further. After all, magma is different from water flowing from high to low. Once the magma gushes out from the center of the earth, it will be difficult to reach it once the altitude is greatly increased. Spreading toward higher places.
Sure enough, after Tianjihong continued to walk deeper along the tunnel for nearly ten minutes, he finally found that the magma under his feet began to slowly recede; the magma lake beside him had gradually disappeared, and only a few tunnels still contained red lava. Residue. As he continued to move forward, the most exciting thing for Tian Jihong was that the temperature around him finally began to drop. He was almost exhausted and could finally absorb the spiritual energy in the air again.
The only troublesome thing is that without the illumination of the magma around him, there is still no sign of light in the pitch-black passage in front of him. Tianjihong didn't know if there really was an exit at the end of the platform, but he had no other better choice at the moment, so he had no choice but to go deeper in the dark. At least when moving in this dark passage, I don't have to worry about the high temperature, and I can restore my physical strength at any time by running the exercises.
At this time, the rock wall beside him became narrow again. Now Tianjihong has basically left the area of the platform and the magma lake, and is back in the intricate tunnels inside the mountain range. Tianjihong, who was stumbling and groping along the stone wall beside him, was now completely confused about his position. In this strange land, the passage under his feet is not just a straight road like when he came here. Tianjihong has discovered no less than three or four forked roads along the way, but the end of each path is... Couldn't see any light.
