Volume 1: The Storm of the Sea Chapter 38 Regaining the Light
The scorching rock flows slowly, and the scorching breath lingers throughout the space.
The crowd supported each other, strolling and staggering, walking on the stone cliff.
Zelin had just woken up not long ago, and he could barely get off the ground on his own.
To be honest, at this point, the others don't have the extra strength to take a person, and if he wakes up a little later, he may have been left behind.
They hadn't eaten for almost two days, and the last of the water had been fed to Zelin, who had just woken up.
Several people's physical condition was even worse, not only was they exhausted, but Kairos's attack left a lot of injuries, and the more serious ones were Knox and Zelin, and the pain in their ribs did not stop.
"Phew, are we going to go further, Lord Viscount, the further we go in, the less I see any hope of escape. ”
Bourcho, exhausted, opened his mouth and let out a hoarse voice.
"Hold on a little longer, Bourcho, with the stone cliffs ahead, and maybe you can cross the lava river. ”
Even though he was comforting others, even Eric didn't think that the next place would be able to cross the lava river.
There is only magma and volcanic black stone in the eyes, and every time you step on a cliff that is considered to have crossed a lava flow, you will face the magma again around the corner and step into a new despair.
The road was too long, and the harsh heat conditions were more like a file, draining everyone's will.
If you want to say bad luck, that's not it. At least they hadn't encountered that powerful lava monster along the way, though it was better to wander in despair than to meet a powerful enemy in freezing and then be thrown into the lava.
"Finally set foot on the rock cliff. ”
Crossing a rock bridge again and stepping onto a rock cliff, Eric prayed in his heart that the next thing that would be obscured by the rock would not be lava, but a path away from the flames.
Perhaps the heavens had heard his prayer, or perhaps they had already walked to the end of the real rock bridge, bypassed the black stone barrier that covered their eyes, and instead found a bridge over the red magma, they found a dark passage in the rock face.
The magma river is also some distance, the light is much dimmer, and Knox's ability will not be able to exert for a while and a half, and the inside of the cave is not straight, so I really can't see how long this cave is. It can only be seen that the passage is heading upwards, at least for now.
"Finally!"
Eric couldn't suppress the joy in his heart, this was an upward passage and the hope for everyone to leave.
"Hopefully, this road will go all the way up and get us out of here. ”
"This cave is also a bit long, it's been so long......"
"Don't mutter, Bourcho, I know you're tired, but we're not much off. Besides, it's good that the road is long enough to reach the surface rather than stop us underground. ”
Although Bourgeois only muttered quietly, the surroundings were dead silent, and the others did not intend to waste their strength on their tongues, so his voice was naturally heard clearly by Viscount Eric.
"Of course I know that, Lord Viscount, but we've been walking for a long time, and it's time to rest. ”
"I'm nothing, to be honest, I've been hurt the least, although I'm a little fatter, I can still stand it, but the others really can't. ”
"Especially Knox and Zelin, they are not lightly injured, and they must be a little unbearable after walking so many roads in one go. ”
"Who said that, dead fat man, you...... Ahem......"
This will not excuse Bourcho, he consumes the least, and he is just stunned in the battle, compared to Viscount Eric's internal injuries are much lighter, even if his physical fitness can't keep up, it is not much different from the current Viscount Eric.
But the others couldn't do that, and they had a lot of energy consumption and were injured in a variety of ways. Even if the supernatural strength can slowly repair the damage, the energy consumed is not a small amount.
But they can't replenish their energy, and they don't have a source of energy. I didn't dare to have a mental rest supplement, but I was afraid that I would be caught up by the Storm Apostle after stopping for a while.
It's not that Viscount Eric didn't care about this, after Knox was injured, Viscount Eric took on the responsibility of pioneering and has been at the forefront of the team, so it's really hard to observe the performance of others. He also knew that the others were physically exhausted, and their pace was much slower than before.
Moreover, Alletse and Zelin are limited to their status and personality, and rarely speak directly to Viscount Eric, while Knox is a strong character, so he refuses to bow his head, endures it, and passes all the way.
"Well, it's time to rest, I haven't seen the shadow of the Storm Apostle for so long, maybe I've gotten rid of him. ”
Seeing Knox holding on, Eric also felt that he was too aggressive, and when he had a good outlet, he still had to raise his energy to prevent any mistakes.
"Yes, Viscount, but I can go... Ahem..."
"If you have Knox, don't hold on, if you really have so much energy, it's better to save up and deal with the accidents that may come your way. ”
What kind of person is Knox, Viscount Eric knows very well, even if it doesn't work, he has to hold his face, and Eric naturally won't let Knox hold on because of a word of face.
"Yes!"
"Poof!"
"Huh!"
Eric was walking, and the lack of water made his spirit a little sluggish, but when he stepped out, his shoes made a sound of water, and he suddenly cheered up.
"Tick"
If you listen closely, there is a faint sound of ticking water. He bent down, dipped his fingers in the liquid he had stepped on, and put it in his mouth to taste it
"It's really water!"
This is good news, whether the water seeps out of the underground river or is gathered by the torrential rain, there is water that can relieve thirst and restore some energy.
The lack of food can last a while, but this has gone through a long lava field without water replenishment, and it will definitely not last long.
The group bowed down against the rock wall, stretched out their hands, and held the water in their mouths.
The water is not fast, and it can only moisten the throat after being stopped for a long time.
"A little further on, the current should be stronger. ”
As we walked forward, the water flowed louder and louder, and gradually it did not reach the soles of my shoes, and I could scoop up half a handful of water with a handful of water.
Everyone was impatient, so they took the water and poured it into their throats, and a swallowing "coo" sound came and went in the cave. After drinking, he sat paralyzed in the water, and he didn't care if he was soaked.
Half a day
Seeing that everyone had drunk enough, Viscount Eric was the first to get up and prepare to set off again
"Well, I'm almost done, let's keep walking, I hope the water is the result of a torrential rain. ”
"Wow~da~"
"It's the water gathered by the rainstorm! It's the light outside!"
After trekking so far, I finally found a bright light around the corner, the light was not strong, and it was even blocked by the rain screen. But none of this can stop him from shining in the hearts of everyone.
"Finally!"
The waist was no longer sore, the legs were no longer painful, and everyone mustered up their strength and rushed under the water curtain.
It's an open-air cave, and the dampness of the rainstorm season makes the walls moss grow on all sides, but that doesn't stop everyone from wanting to get out.
Climbing is naturally not a good way, even if the stone wall is only two meters, but the stone wall is too vertical, there is no focus point at all, and it is difficult to climb.
"Crack it for me!"
I don't know where Knox's strength came from, and his right hand burst out with red flames, bursting across the rock wall.
The flames were scorching, it was pitch black, the moss was burned clean, and even the rock wall was punched out with a crack half a palm's width and nearly a meter wide. As soon as the water hit the rock wall, a "zi" sound of water vaporization accompanied by water mist came out.
When the water was flowing again and the rock wall was no longer hot, Knox took a single arrow step up the chasm and jumped to the top of the rock wall.
"Alright, come on, it's not too late, we need to get some food and find a place to rest."
