Chapter 374, "Magma"

Situ Xichen stepped on the blazing earth, his steps were a little staggering, and even his eyes began to show signs of confusion, he had only been in this sixth layer for less than a day, but the signs of dehydration were very serious, to be honest, even he didn't expect to be able to hold on to it until now.

It's not the same as the desert here, the desert is hot because of the long hours of direct sunlight and very little precipitation, it's very hot but it's not unavoidable, as long as you find a way to block the sun, you can still get through, but the heat here is omnipresent, every rock, every piece of land, and even every breath of air is at least 40 degrees or more.

Situ Xichen walked hard every step, although there was still a black liquid for him to use as a cooling, but after all, it was still a way to treat the symptoms but not the root cause, he had now begun to have chapped lips, a series of bright red but white-edged cracks appeared on the side of his mouth, it was very painful but not bleeding, he didn't even dare to wipe his lips with his hands to make it feel better, he knew very well that this would only aggravate the symptoms.

"Quick...... No way......"

In the end, the tense spirit suddenly broke, he really couldn't hold on, and he fell down as soon as his feet were soft, but his body had just touched the ground when he felt the unbearable temperature on the surface, and his spirit was suddenly shocked.

"It's hot!"

He hurriedly rolled over, stood up, and put the cuff that had first touched the ground to his nose and sniffed it, which actually emitted a burnt smell.

"Bastard! Master can't stand it! ”

He opened the bottle in his hand, poured the black liquid inside to the ground, and suddenly a thick steam rose up, he sat on it softly, and suddenly felt the cool energy from below, and couldn't help but shiver.

"Cool!"

Look! That's life! That's what it's like to be alive!

He suddenly forgot about the heat around him and concentrated on enjoying the hard-won coolness, which was like smoking marijuana after a hearty game of basketball when he was on Earth and then drank a cold drink.

It's a pity that the good times always pass quickly, the black liquid cools down really quickly, but the heat here is even more perverted, and the time that this bottle of liquid can last is only a short minute, and when this time passes, the temperature difference makes Situ Xichen feel even hotter and more unbearable.

"Where the hell are the spirit beasts and the portal on this level!!"

Feeling the disgusting heat coming from his buttocks, Situ Xichen became impatient again, he stood up and recalled the places he had experienced, he had traveled many places along the way, but he had not seen a single spirit animal, if there was anything missing, it was only one......

"No......"

The corners of Situ Xichen's mouth twitched, and he glanced at a volcano not far away, which trembled from time to time, and then burst out of the crater with some fiery red liquid......

"No way, no way...... No matter how you say it, there can't be spirit beasts in the magma, I must have thought too much. ”

Thinking of this, Situ Xichen shook his head again and again and gave himself psychological comfort, letting him walk to the side of the active volcano? Isn't that sending you to death?

But......

He smiled bitterly, although he had already convinced himself psychologically, but from an objective point of view, it was still possible, after all, he had almost run through the sixth layer, but there was still no progress at all, if there was anything else that could make him see hope, it was only such a place.

"What a joke!"

Situ Xichen was so angry by his own speculation that he stomped his feet, and said angrily: "I will never get close to that kind of place!" ”

…… Half an hour later......

"That being said......"

Situ Xichen climbed on a cliff with both hands, although it was very hot, but it had not reached the level that he couldn't grasp it, but his expression had now changed from pathetic to indescribably ridiculous:

"It turned out to be the end."

He sighed, seeing that he was almost halfway to go, he felt like crying even more, after all, this should be his last hope, he didn't expect him to have such a day.

He was now severely dehydrated, and his strength was far less than when he first came in, if he had placed it in the past, he could have done it in a few minutes, but now it was very difficult, it felt like when he was still on Earth before, and to be honest, it was the first time he felt this fatigue outside of battle.

"What if...... Can't find a way to get out of here...... If you have clues, labor and management will blow this mountain flat! ”

Situ Xichen climbed towards the top of the mountain with hatred, but the fatigue had spread to every corner of his body, but Rao was so, he was still able to come here with his enthusiasm, it was not an obsession or anything, but he felt that giving up halfway was really a loss of face and he was never a thankless person.

Finally, Situ Xichen began to be able to see the top, he couldn't help but speed up his pace and climb in his hands, and then finally climbed to the top before his strength was about to run out.

"Whew-whew-"

Situ Xichen's chest kept shaking like a blower, and he finally felt a lot better after breathing for more than ten minutes, and his chest was not so stuffy, but because the consumption was too great, and the diet was not guaranteed, he now felt that the scene in front of him was shaking.

"Huh?"

He closed his eyes and felt the temperature around him, Situ Xichen originally thought that this kind of place near the crater would definitely be hot, but he didn't expect that the temperature here would be about the same as below, he struggled to get up, looked at the surrounding environment, and was stunned for a moment.

Although this mountain is not very high, but the scale is very considerable, the section at the top of the hill of more than 100 meters is actually the size of two football fields, and in front of Situ Xichen, a huge crater like a basin is filled with red and rolling magma, and some bubbles emerge from the bottom from time to time, and after surfacing the "water surface", it bursts open, bursting with a burst of magma water spots.

Situ Xichen tried to get closer, but he still didn't feel the expected heat, he walked to a protruding stone next to the "magma", leaned down and tentatively stretched out his hand, and then actually held the "magma" in the palm of his hand!

"This thing doesn't seem to be magma......

He felt a little strange, although he was not interested in these natural things, but at least the common sense still knew some, the temperature of the magma should be at least more than 1,000 degrees, but now he held the "more than 1,000 degrees" magma in his hand but did not feel the temperature, the temperature of this liquid seems to be about the same as the temperature of the outside world, more than fifty or sixty degrees is already the limit, which was when he was still on the earth before, at best it was the temperature of the water in the bath, a little hot, But compared to the appearance, it does not reflect the temperature at all.

"Bastard, what's the deal with this feeling of wanting to drink this liquid?"

Situ Xichen smiled bitterly and shook his head, he had been here for so long, the feeling of thirst was about to occupy his entire brain, it was the same just now, he almost drank the black liquid in a hurry, if he wasn't still a little sensible, he wouldn't have necessarily become what he would have become.

He looked at the "magma" in front of his eyes, and found that the liquid was not as turbid as he had just seen, but rather very clear, crystal clear in the palm of his hand, but had an amber-like texture.

He threw the "magma" back into the crater, and was about to "go into the water" to see if he was going to "go into the water" again, when he suddenly realized that something seemed to be wrong with his palm.

He couldn't describe the feeling as if something was coming out of the palm of his hand, and if I had to use an analogy to describe it, it would be like taking a sauna in the cold winter.

Situ Xichen suddenly seemed to sense something, and hurriedly put his palm on his arm, and while feeling the coldness of his arm, he finally understood what was being expelled in his body - cold qi.

"Yes, since this is an extremely hot place, there must be a way to expel the cold in my body, but I didn't expect this kind of thing!"

He suddenly showed a look of surprise, to say that after refining the body, his biggest scruple is the cold that will not be dispersed in the body, although this thing has not yet reflected the drawbacks, but the problem will be exposed sooner or later, in fact, since he entered here, he felt that there must be a way to solve the cold in the body, but he didn't know what to do, just hanging around here didn't seem to have any effect, he thought it should be the same as the first three layers to get some crystals from the body of the spirit beast or something, But in more than an hour, he hadn't seen even the weakest spirit beast.

"Maybe that's how the Endless Tower works."

Situ Xichen guessed, it seems that the importance of this Endless Demon Tower to the academy should be extraordinary, then there should not be a loophole for the cold qi to enter the body after quenching the body, so the upper tier will be opened to offset this loophole, and everything will be explained clearly in this way.

While thinking about it, he began to take off his clothes, and a perfect body suddenly came out of the outfit, I have to say that Situ Xichen not only has a handsome face, but even his skin is very good, if you don't look carefully, I'm afraid that the degree of fairness can be comparable to that of Europeans, but Rao is such a perfect body is still flawed, and the only fly in the ointment is only one - there are scars on his body.

There are scars on the back, chest, shoulders, and even on the back of the neck, among which the part of the shoulder that was wounded by the two-headed sheep is especially obvious, these scars are all obtained by Situ Xichen since he has divine power, although the recovery attribute brought to him by Satan is very perverted, but the recovery of the wound still needs to be completed through the normal mechanism of his body, that is to say, it is inevitable to leave a scar.

It is these scars that destroy the beauty of this body.
