While the three of them were talking, the tunnel turned another corner. This time, the grimace Taoist priest could clearly feel the hot wind blowing against his face, and the smell of yellow rocks in the air was even stronger. It seemed that this place was indeed very close to the underground volcano.
After walking for half a cup of tea, the four walls of the tunnel began to gradually widen. The Taoist Priest with a grimace looked at the changes in the surrounding terrain, and sketched a shape in his mind that was narrow at the back and wide at the front. It was roughly shaped like a suona, and the three of them I walked along the side of the suona air pole toward the bell mouth. I saw that the height of the tunnel was getting higher and higher, and the airflow I felt on the head was getting warmer and warmer.
When the width and height of the tunnel exceeded the range of the torch, the terrain in front finally changed again, but this time there was no way. Apart from a cliff that could be seen a dozen steps away, there was only a deeper path. The endless darkness.
"There's no way?" The grim-faced Taoist priest hurriedly walked to the edge of the cliff. But when he got to the edge of the cliff, he was stunned.
In front of the grim-faced Taoist priest, I saw an unknown length of cliff. Under the cliff, about twenty feet away, countless hot magma was surging at the bottom of the cliff. From left to right, it seemed to have converged into a roaring line. Fire dragon.
The three of them were stunned by the sight before them. They never expected that there was actually a river of lava at the end of the tunnel.
Through the light of the magma, the grimace Taoist priest could see that the other side of the magma river was only about ten feet away from him, but the terrain on both sides of the river was exactly the same, with cliffs shaped like axes, and the magma river was meandering among them. There was a heat wave everywhere, and it was impossible to see how long the river was.
The three people quickly recovered from the shock. After seeing the terrain in front of them, a practical question immediately emerged - where is the way down?
The Taoist priest with a grimace immediately asked what he was thinking: "Isn't Tongmingfu on the other side? But there isn't even a bridge here, how should we get there?"
After hearing this, He Siniang replied: "It's dark on the other side. Maybe it's just a whole mountain rock facing us. I don't know the details of the situation. I'm afraid I won't be able to get through even if I use a flying lock."
"I can't let you go even if I know the details." The Taoist priest with a grimace said: "The two cliffs are so far apart, and there is still hot magma below. If you accidentally fall, the damn poor Taoist will tremble just thinking about it."
"I just regret that I didn't bring the fire dove with me this time, otherwise it would be easier to make plans after seeing the surrounding environment clearly."
"Yes, if you shoot the fire dove upwards, you can see clearly what's happening on the other side."
"What should we do now?"
"We can only find it in a stupid way. Let's search the area first to see if there are any clues about the path. If there is no other way, we can only turn back and join the main force."
"All right."
The three of them decided to search around the mouth of the trumpet first. Unexpectedly, they found some unusual places during this search.
When the bell mouth reached the edge of the cliff, its width and height had already expanded very much. The length was estimated to be no less than five feet. It looked like a cave. The three of them came to the edge of the cliff along the left side of the cave. , so that the situation on the right side of the cave was completely ignored.
The Taoist priest with a grimace walked along the cliff to the right side of the cave. He discovered the situation a few steps away - although the right wall of the cave was the same as the left side, with a cliff connected to the outside, but there was something different on the right side, which could be clearly seen. The outer wall on the right is not in line with the cliff below. The upper and lower rock walls are staggered about the width of a person, and it looks like a steep cliff path.
The Taoist priest with a grimace hurriedly walked over and took a closer look. Sure enough, there was a narrow road close to the rock wall. The width was less than half a foot. It would be difficult for a person walking on it to turn around.
The grim-faced Taoist priest greeted He Siniang and the two, and then turned sideways to try on the path. However, as soon as he took one foot out, he caught a glimpse of the rolling lava river below the cliff. He was so frightened that he immediately shrank his feet. When he came back, he leaned back against the rock wall and said in shock: "Fuck grandma, what the fuck is Lu? If you fall, you don't even need to collect the body, it will be burned directly."
"Who are they going to burn again?" Luo Laoqi came over first and asked curiously: "Why did you call us here?"
"We've found the road." The grim-faced Taoist priest stepped aside, pointed to the path beside him and said, "Look, does this look like a road?"
Luo Laoqi and He Siniang looked at it with surprised expressions on their faces. After seeing the width of the road, Luo Laoqi immediately shouted: "How can such a narrow road be called a road?! This motherfucker is Did you let someone leave?"
"It must be a road. Pindao saw traces of digging on the rock face above, but this road... I'm afraid it's not easy to walk."
"It seems like Sajia can't leave at all." Luo Laoqi glanced at the lava river below the cliff and said, "No wonder I just heard what the Taoist priest was talking about about burning himself."
"Fuck you, Pindao, those are just a few words of emotion."
"I think it's okay." He Siniang finally said: "This width is not even an introduction to the skill of walking in Huojingmen. What's more, if this is really the only way to go down, Then we have to bite the bullet even more."
"What's the use of biting the bullet? The Sa family's body is sitting here, and even if it's lifted, it won't be able to lose weight."
"You can still walk by gritting your teeth." The Taoist priest with a grimace gave Luo Laoqi a half-turn and gestured: "If you just go up sideways like this, you will be over like a crab."
"You two are really standing here talking without pain. One moment, Sajia has to bite the bullet, and the next moment, he has to grit his teeth. If he realizes something is wrong halfway through, Sajia will not be able to turn around even if he wants to."
Luo Laoqi's words reminded the grimace Taoist priest.
Whether the path on the cliff is a road or not, they can only guess what the front will look like. Without Fire Dove to explore the path, everything can only be guessed. And from the firelight of the magma river, it was obvious that there was a turn in front of the cliff. This mid-air path followed the trend of the cliff and turned to the right there. The situation beyond that was completely unknown. In this situation where all kinds of unknowns are superimposed, it is indeed unwise to rush onto the cliff. If there is any accident on the way, the consequences for the three people hanging on the cliff will be disastrous.
The Taoist Priest with a grimace expressed his concerns, but He Siniang was not too worried after hearing this. She said: "It is indeed a bit reckless for the three of us to go together. Why don't you let me explore the way first, and you two can help me here?" Hold on to the rope so you can be prepared if something unexpected happens."
The Taoist Priest with a grimace thought about it and had no choice but to do this. He and Luo Laoqi were both powerful masters on the ground. He Siniang had never been able to help him when encountering some dangerous situations. At this time, he could only tell He Siniang to be careful. Later, he and Luo Laoqi fixed the rope from behind, and then watched He Siniang walk up the cliff path.
