“......？”

Tang Xiaobai and Xuan Gui looked at the little head rising by the lake in surprise, with big ears, pointed mouth, eyes like two round and bright rubies, and those few white gray slender beards-

Belch...... This is...... A mouse??!!

Seeing the mouse in front of them, the two of them were a little silent for a while.

After the gray-skinned mouse climbed ashore, he first shook the water on his body, carefully combed his shiny fur with his paws, and then crawled all the way away from left and right.

"Stop. Hyun Gyu was the first to react, and he hurriedly raised his feet to chase after the mouse, and smashed the red lotus in his hand towards the rat's head without thinking about it.

The rat was smashed by this, and only had time to let out a desperate "squeak", and then kicked its legs and swallowed.

“......？”

Hyungui couldn't understand it now. He used to only think that this mouse was hidden and deliberately wanted to hide his identity, but now he saw that its belly was turned over, and it was scorched black, and it was obviously dead and could no longer be seen, he was completely stunned.

Is this just an ordinary mouse?

Hyun Gyu looked back at Tang Xiaobai in a daze, the latter forced a smile and pointed to the lake, "The problem should be below." ”

Below, Hyun Gyu leaned in to see that this lake was not abnormal compared to before, the surface of the lake was still steaming with mist, and there was a faint amount of heat under the water surface.

Hyun Gyu curiously reached out and picked up a handful of water, but said in surprise, "This water is cold." ”

Hearing this, Tang Xiaobai also stepped forward to test the water temperature, and it was really cold. But where does this heat come from?

She immediately pinched a water-avoiding trick on her body, intending to go down to find out.

"Hey. Hyun Gyu hurriedly grabbed her and pointed to himself, "I'm going too." ”

Tang Xiaobai looked at him with interest, "So what?"

Ask while knowing the answer. Hyun Gyu stiffened his face, "So why don't you hurry up and get me something that can keep out the water." ”

Tang Xiaobai was silent, and looked at him for a long time.

Hyun Gyu and she looked at each other for a long time, and finally said impatiently, "Okay, it's okay to fight with you in the future, right?"

"Deal. Tang Xiaobai smiled, easily pinched a water avoidance trick and threw it on him, and then jumped into the pool one step ahead of him.

Hyun Gyu hurriedly followed him, and the two entered the pool, and when their eyes were familiar with the light in the water, they looked closely, only to find that there were neither plants nor animals here, and the walls of the pool had already become smooth and translucent after the water flow of the day and moon, and it was reflecting a faint light.

Tang Xiaobai and Xuangui went all the way down, and dived for about another hundred meters, and gradually felt a little powerless.

Although they are protected by water avoidance, they can't stand the fact that the water pressure is constantly increasing, and seeing that there is still a bottomless abyss under them, both of them are a little hesitant.

Glancing at each other, Hyun Gyu pointed down unwillingly and made an inquiring expression.

Tang Xiaobai nodded and motioned to continue.

So the two continued to dive in silence, and they didn't know how deep they dived, and the two who should have been under pressure began to gradually feel a little inexplicably relaxed. Could it be that the water pressure is getting smaller?

Hyun Gyu was overjoyed, and was just about to increase his strength, but the whole person suddenly lost weightlessness, and at this time, a stream of water hit, and it was warm, and the two of them rolled down at an accelerated speed.

The two of them were wrapped in the warm water, only to feel that the world was spinning, and after a while, they began to get dizzy, and in the panic, Hyun Gyu could only reach out and scratch around, trying to stabilize his body. At this time, the underwater light began to become strong and dazzling, and in the next second, the two of them rushed out of the water in unison, and were thrown to the ground with the warm current.

Hyun Gyu was dizzy and only heard faint cheers from the surroundings, chattering, like a human but not like a human tone, but like saliva in his mouth, and his tone was slurred.

Hyun Gyu was in a daze, when he suddenly heard a cold voice sound from his side, "Let go." ”

Xuan Gui was stunned for a moment, opened his eyes and slowly turned his head to look over, and saw a faint flash of anger between Tang Xiaobai's eyebrows. Looking at his hand again, it turned out that he accidentally grabbed her hair in the panic struggle just now, and now he is holding it in his hand, the force is too great, I am afraid that it will hurt her.

Hyun Gyu hurriedly let go of his hand, and a carp sat up and scratched his head, "That... I'm sorry..."

Tang Xiaobai glanced at him, pursed his lips and looked up at the surroundings, frowning and not saying a word.

The noise around him was getting louder and louder, and Xuan Gui also followed Tang Xiaobai's gaze, it didn't matter what he saw, but he was really startled.

At this moment, they were surrounded by a large group of people who were not humans, monkeys did not look like monkeys, all of them were scorched black, only their eyes and teeth were white, and they were watching the two of them as if they were watching a play, and their mouths kept making gurgling sounds, and crackling sparks popped out of one mouth.

"What is this......" Hyun Gyu wanted to cry and pulled the corner of Tang Xiaobai's clothes without tears.

"It should be a fire-weary countryman. Tang Xiaobai was not surprised, and his expression did not change in the slightest.

She had a faint impression of the Fire-Weary Country. The fire-weary people are described as ape-like, dark-skinned, feed on coals, and can spit fire in their mouths, and are a non-human and non-demon race that has been passed down since ancient times, but because of their simple dwelling, the number is scarce, and it is not often known to the world. On the contrary, he fought with the fierce beasts of this tribe, and was more famous than the clansmen.

"He, they don't look like they're disgusted with fire......" Hyun Gyu looked blankly at this group of people with sparks and lightning in their mouths, and couldn't help but shrink their necks.

Tang Xiaobai didn't care about him, and stood up and walked to leave. Seeing this, Hyun Gyu was afraid that she would abandon herself, so he hurriedly followed him and followed him step by step.

Tang Xiaobai glanced at him with a headache, "The people of the Fire-weary Country have a gentle temperament and don't hurt people easily. ”

When Hyun Gui was said like this, he subconsciously straightened his chest and said stiffly, "Who is afraid? Lao Tzu is not afraid." Saying that, as if to prove it, he took the initiative to walk in front.

When the fire-weary people saw that they were leaving, they made way for the two of them, but they still followed behind, and their mouths kept talking, as if they wanted to tell them something.

After getting used to the presence of this group of people, Hyungui finally recovered from the initial shock. Only then did he notice that the terrain here was the same as the previous extremely cold place, but the temperature was extremely high, and only for a moment, sweat began to form on his forehead.

Xuan Gui hurriedly approached Hantan, trying to wash his face to cool down, not wanting the pool of water to be cold, but the water temperature was extremely hot, Xuan Gui retracted his hand like lightning at the touch, and complained in a low voice, looking at Tang Xiaobai helplessly, "What now?"

I didn't expect the water temperature to get so hot. Hyun Gyu was a little afraid, thinking that if there was no current of water to wrap them around and rush to the shore just now, I was afraid that the two of them would be cooked at this moment. He sighed, he couldn't go back now, even if he wanted to.

Tang Xiaobai was silent, and walked away, Xuan Gui saw that she was going to the stone wall where the two of them fell before, and said a smart word in his heart, and hurriedly followed her.

The stone wall was the same as before, but the color had changed, no longer a dark gray cold rock, but a strange dark ochre color.

Without the resistance of the cold, Tang Xiaobai tapped his toes, and quickly flew up by the fulcrum of the rock, and easily reached the stone wall.

Hyun Gyu also flew up, and the action of the two of them attracted a round of applause from the fire-weary people below.

Hyun Gyu waved his hand to them triumphantly, and then turned to look, but where was the road above this stone wall?

Hyun Gyu stared blankly at the location of the original road, and now there was only a void left, and in front of that void, there was a stone tablet with four big characters engraved on it: The End of the World.
