The inside of the cave is dark and lightless. It is a passage that gradually goes downwards. The terrain is gentle and a little warm compared to the cold outside.
Liangchen released his spiritual thoughts and slowly moved forward while detecting the terrain.
After walking like this for about two hours, the terrain began to get steeper, and the further we went down, the air became drier and the temperature became hotter.
Fortunately, he was born with water spirit roots and had good experience in the water-based techniques he had been practicing, so he was able to barely resist.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, the surrounding stones changed from black to khaki, and finally turned into red. The temperature in the cave had also risen to a terrifying level!
While Liangchen used his power to resist, he slowly released his spiritual consciousness to explore, and moved forward carefully.
After another two hours of this, the cave finally stopped falling, and it felt like it had reached the bottom of a valley.
Looking around, the terrain has become much more open, with countless bright red lava rocks hanging down from the top, and a few drops of magma dripping from time to time.
There is only a winding path under your feet. The path can only accommodate one person walking. There is flowing magma on both sides, with a few bubbles occasionally popping up.
Even with the water shield protecting him, Liangchen was already covered in sweat.
He carefully used his spiritual consciousness to investigate and continued to move forward after confirming that there was no danger.
After walking for more than ten miles, the path still has no end. Occasionally, you can see a few piles of bones and broken swords scattered everywhere on the ground.
As he went deeper and deeper, there were more and more bones, and Liangchen began to retreat in his heart!
After walking for so long, I had to use a water shield to resist the terrifying high temperature, and at the same time I had to use my spiritual consciousness to investigate the surrounding situation. It took a lot of mana and physical strength!
And beware of the magma dripping from the stone milk on the cave roof at all times. The biggest problem is not knowing how long we will have to walk!
Just as he was thinking and moving forward, suddenly there seemed to be a few wisps of sound floating in the air. His highly nervous heartstrings shook violently, and he hid in a hurry.
"Old man, how long do we have to go?" asked a big man with a buzzing voice.
"It's almost there. It will take about two hours." A thin, high-pitched voice answered.
"Two more hours? Are you kidding me? I haven't walked such a long distance in hundreds of years!" The big man said in a loud voice when he heard that it would take so long.
"I have been preparing for this trip for so long, is it just to trick you!?" retorted with a sharp voice.
"Do you think this place is really so evil? Can't you cast spells?" asked another deep voice.
"Nonsense! The corpses of Master Xuanming and his disciples are still in front. I'll point them out to you when we get there."
He said impatiently in a thin voice, and then added:
"That day I went treasure hunting with Mr. Xuan Ming. When we arrived at the trail just now,
Because he resisted the sudden falling lava rock and cast a spell to crush it, he didn't want to attract several winged fire snakes immediately.
The realm of the fire snake is not high, but it seems to be immortal. No matter how badly it is injured, it can just jump into the lava pool and come out again as before.
It really took a lot of trouble before we killed him.
As I continued to move forward, I found that there was no way to go.
After investigation, we found that there was an empty space under our feet, so we dug a hole and asked Disciple Xuanming to go down first to find out.
As a result, I didn't want to be unlucky. I happened to fall into that formation and lost all my magic power.
In desperation we dug another hole and went down to the hall.
Just when we were about to break the formation, the Snake King arrived, Xuan Ming and his disciple both fell, and I risked my life to escape and ascend to heaven.
Alas, old Xuan Ming, with his all-powerful abilities, was burned down to nothing but bones by the snake king's wisp of flame.
If you think you can be stronger than Xuan Ming, just cast a spell! "
"I know, old man Qingfeng, long-winded." The big man said hummingly.
"When we get to the place later, King Li Tian and Da Manzi will cooperate with Fairy Feng to break the formation, and the treasures obtained will be divided equally.
Time is running out. Once you get it, leave this place immediately. Do you understand? "He ordered in a thin voice.
There was a sound of agreement, and then it became quiet again. It seemed that they were starting to head on their way again.
"Can't use magic? Then why haven't I encountered a fire snake yet? Is that thin voice deliberately hiding something?"
"Ignore him. From what I heard, there are indeed a lot of treasures hidden here! It seems like we came to the right place!
I just don’t know why so many people came here at once, should I move on? "
Liangchen thought about it, thinking that he had come all the way and it would be unreasonable to turn back without seeing the treasure mountain.
"Why don't we follow and check the situation first? If there is a chance to fish in troubled waters, of course it would be best. If there is no chance, it is not too late to retreat."
After much thought, he finally made up his mind to move on.
Liangchen crouched down and hid for a while before getting up and continuing on his way.
The path became wider and wider, and the space became larger and larger. After walking for about two hours, we finally reached the end.
This is a large platform with several skeletons on the ground. Clothes had already been reduced to ashes due to the high temperature, and several weapons were scattered around.
Liangchen looked around, and sure enough, no one was there. He looked around for the cave the man mentioned, and finally found one in the southeast and one in the southwest.
He hesitated, not knowing which way to go.
While he was hesitating, a fire snake suddenly emerged from the southeast cave. The fire snake had a pointed head, round eyes, and a pair of small wings on its back.
The fire snake's protruding red eyes looked around and focused on Liangchen.
When Liangchen was stared at by the fire snake, he felt a chill on his back. Cold sweat broke out down his back under the terrifying high temperature. He hurriedly took out his sword and took a defensive posture.
The fire snake flapped its wings and rushed over. It was in front of him in an instant, opened its mouth wide, and bit into the door with a pair of bloody fangs.
Liangchen made a sword move and struck with his sword. The fire snake's galloping body changed direction in mid-air, dodged the sword move, and bit him on the shoulder.
The magic shield was penetrated by the fire snake like paper, and it bit him on the shoulder.
There was a burst of severe pain, and he almost fainted. In a hurry, he returned the sword and slashed at the fire snake's head.
The fire snake was extremely cunning. It flapped its wings and retreated like lightning, staring at him while hanging in the air a few steps away from him.
Liangchen groaned secretly, but he was severely injured as soon as he saw her face to face. If he hadn't worn the treasure armor given by his master, he might not have been able to save his arm.
While he was thinking about how to escape, the fire snake opened its mouth and pounced on him again.
In a hurry, he used the Qingfeng Sword Technique, his family's secret skill, and danced with the sword until it was water-impermeable. He only defended but did not attack. He blocked and retreated at the same time.
The fire snake's wings vibrated around, constantly changing directions, looking for flaws.
Not long after, his magic power was severely overdrawn, and his sword skills were no longer airtight.
The fire snake finally found an opening and pecked at it like lightning. Liangchen couldn't dodge and was bitten again.
After repeating this several times, his green shirt was already in tatters, revealing a piece of snow-white line armor that glowed softly.
Even with the treasure armor protecting him, he suffered a lot of injuries, with faint traces of blood spilling out.
"If this continues, he will either run out of mana and die, or his blood will dry up. We must find a way."
But looking around, there was nothing, and it was impossible to escape past this winged fire snake.
Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of the cave a few feet away.
"The tunnel that the fire snake came out of just now must not be entered. Why not go in here and try your luck!"
Liangchen has made up his mind and approaches the tunnel while fighting.
Seeing that his power was about to run out, he made a magic spell and the long sword in his hand suddenly glowed with a misty cold light. Then he waved his hand and the long sword stabbed the fire snake with a green shadow, while he himself flew towards the hole in the ground.
Seeing that he was about to burrow into the ground, the fire snake split into two, dodged the sword, and then merged into one again. It fanned wildly with its double thorns, and with a trail of afterimages, struck him hard on the back in mid-air.
Liangchen felt a sweetness in his throat, his vision went dark, and he fell into the hole.
The fire snake was about to continue chasing, but suddenly stopped at the entrance of the cave, as if there was something terrible in the cave, turned around and burrowed down from the original hole.
