Chapter 80: The Heat Is Unbearable
When the canyon appeared in front of several people, they couldn't help but be shocked by what they were looking at.
They couldn't call what they saw a canyon anymore, it was a huge crater under a deep depression.
According to common sense, this should be an open valley, and you can see the bottom at a glance, but when you look down, you can only feel a faint red color, and you can't feel the distance to the bottom of the valley at all.
The whole canyon covers hundreds of miles, the edge of the towering ancient trees cover the sky, but the mountains and forests are quiet, there are no birds and beasts roaring, and there are no bees and butterflies flying, and the whole canyon seems to be shrouded in silence.
Several people walked to the bottom of the valley for more than 30 miles, the towering ancient trees gradually thinned, and a relatively open area appeared in front of them, the feet were very smooth and hard, stepping on it felt like stepping on the rocks as solid, there was no grass here, and there were huge red rocks everywhere around.
They had been on their journey for a day, and the sky was getting darker, and in the distance, a golden light reflected in the distance, and all around them were golden.
Wu Jingman saw that several people were shocked when they saw this, so he said to a few people: "The place of fire in front of you is the most famous place in the Red Stone Valley, the Flame Purgatory, it is said that the red rocks in a radius of a hundred miles are all baked by the fire of this purgatory for thousands of years. β
After hearing this, He Lang couldn't help but smack his tongue and said, "Won't the place we are going to be there?
Wu Jingman saw that several people were puzzled, so he said: "According to the person who brought the message, the place you want to go to is indeed the place of the Flame Purgatory, but since they let you go, there must be a way to get close, and we can go some distance further to see what happens." β
So a few people walked forward for nearly a hundred miles overnight, and the scorching high temperature had already baked the hot body of several people, like a xiaolongbao that had just come out of the pot, sweating profusely.
It was already light, but the light was still very dim because of the low-lying valley.
They had already stripped off only a pair of small underwear in the heat, and several of them were roasted so red that their whole bodies were red.
There is a stone tablet in front, and the three big characters 'Red Stone Valley' appear in front of you, obviously, this stone tablet has been baked for hundreds of years, and the tablet is covered with fine cracks.
"Brother Jing, do you think there's something weird here?" He Lang whispered several times, but the other party did not reply, thinking to himself, Brother Jing must have something to do in the valley.
He Lang wiped his sweat and said to a few people: "I think it's better for me to go over by myself, you can wait for Fei'er and Wang Huai here." β
Lan Yun shook off the sweat on his head, squinted his eyes and looked ahead: "Brother Ang, don't go forward with Baosheng and Baoming, we also need someone to answer, I'll just go with him." β
Wu Jingman's condition is much stronger than the other four, although he is also sweating profusely, but his mind is still relatively clear, he glanced at the beloved apprentice who was already hot and was about to go into shock and smiled: "Let these two boys wait here first, I will come with you, maybe I can think of a way to rescue people directly." β
Due to the extremely hot surroundings, this has a great impact on Wu Jingman, who is cultivating as a Yuanying, and he has tried to fly by the wind, but the aura in his body is suppressed by the heat around him, and the flow is not smooth, if he wants to force himself to step on the air, it will be very dangerous.
He Lang saw that Wu Jing was full of confidence, so he agreed, so he said to Baosheng and Baoming: "Just wait here for the two of you, and take us back." β
Bao Sheng and Bao Ming saw that the master also nodded to them with a smile, so they no longer insisted on moving forward, and the two of them were indeed so hot that they were about to collapse.
He Lang, Lan Yun, and Wu Jingman continued to walk forward, and the heat wave rushed towards the three of them, they felt that their hair and eyebrows were curled by the heat wave, and their breathing was even more rapid and unbearable.
He Lang took difficult steps, while thinking to himself, if he continued like this, he didn't know when, even the bones would be evaporated.
All around were red rocks as far as the eye could see, the sun was scorching overhead, and the eyes were full of barren dead silence, and after walking for half a day, the three of them were exhausted.
If it weren't for Wu Jingman's unstable spiritual power from time to time, placing a magic weapon on his head to form a shadow, He Lang and Lan Yun would have blocked the direct rays of the scorching sun a little, and the two of them would have been lying on the ground and unable to move a bit.
When the three of them sat down to rest, He Lang took out the spirit wine from the fairy mirror space and handed it to the two, so that he could breathe a sigh of relief.
After a short while, the three of them continued to walk forward.
After walking for more than an hour, the temperature was still rising, it was really like being in the flames of the Flame Mountain, He Lang's brain was roasted and painful due to the continuous high heat, he half-squinted at Lan Yun and Wu Jingman, and saw that the two of them had reached the limit of their bodies.
In order not to fall, the three of them supported each other and paced forward with difficulty, and walked slowly and staggeringly forward.
Just when the three of them thought they were going to be roasted and steamed dry, they suddenly felt a cold wind blowing in front of them.
This discovery made the three of them not know where to get a momentum, and immediately ran desperately in the direction of the cold air.
When standing in the wind, the three of them felt that they were reborn again, such a painful trek, they never wanted to experience a second time, but remembering that there was still a heavy responsibility on their bodies, they couldn't help but encourage each other, and then walked forward.
There were still red rocks ahead, but the temperature had dropped significantly, and several people agreed that it had been insulated.
After walking for a while, a red wall six or seven meters high appeared in front of me, which was made of the surrounding red rocks, thick and strong.
Every 30 meters on the wall, there is a sentry box, and you can see people shaking on the wall, it seems that this is the destination of their trip.
The three of them stopped four or five hundred meters from the wall, hid behind a tall rock, and discussed as they looked around.
Wu Jingman seemed to think of something and said: "It seems that for thousands of years, it has been extremely difficult for human cultivators to enter the Red Stone Valley, just because of the high temperature, I didn't expect that there would be such a cool place between this high temperature zone and the Flame Purgatory. β
He Lang was also thinking about it, and he followed Wu Jingman's words: "Senior Wu, there should be other ways to enter and exit this area, otherwise if they want to leave once, wouldn't it be similar to dying once?"
Wu Jingman nodded and said, "I think so too, but it's a pity that we don't know the doorway." β
Lan Yundao was very free, he said: "No matter what, we have already touched their lair, let's quickly sneak in and feel the situation." β
He Lang said to the two: "The time is only one day away from the deadline, I'm afraid it's too late, I think in order to prevent accidents, I'll just go straight over." β
"It's not okay, do you think they're going to keep their promises, don't be naΓ―ve. Lan Yun shook his head and resolutely objected.
"However, the wall is so high, there are still many people guarding it, and there is a forbidden magic circle in the sky, do you think we have a chance to enter quietly?" said He Lang and was about to get up.
"Anyway, you can't just go there, and you promise to follow my orders when you come. Lan Yun grabbed the other party and sat down again.
The two of them almost quarreled with each other.
When Wu Jingman saw that this was not going to work, he hurriedly stepped forward to persuade them, and he said to the two of them: "Shhhh
Seeing that the two of them stopped arguing and looked at themselves together, Wu Jingman smiled and said: "When I started to practice the exercises, the master passed on to me a secret technique, which is the earth escape technique, I see that although the ground is rocky, I just looked down carefully, and it is all dirt under five feet, I think I can try to enter by dirt road." β
As soon as the two of them heard this, He Lang hurriedly asked: "Senior, there is only one day, even if you can dig a passage to get in, but it is so far away, is it too late for a day?"
"The so-called soil escape, of course, is not digging the ground, you will understand after a while, first remove this layer of rock, and then proceed to the next step. β
So the three of them took out their swords as tools, and soon dug a large pit more than six meters deep in the ground.
As soon as He Lang saw that it was indeed two meters below, there were no more rocks, and dark red dirt was exposed.
Wu Jingman saw that the pit was almost dug, so he asked He Lang and Lan Yun to stand a little farther away, watching how he escaped.
Seeing that Wu Jingman slapped his lower abdomen a few times, and seemed to be muttering something to himself, the two looked at each other and were very puzzled.
Suddenly, Wu Jingman disappeared in front of the two of them, and when He Lang saw it, he immediately rushed down the big pit and looked at the place where the other party had just stood, surprised.
He saw that a one-person-tall and one-meter-wide tunnel appeared in front of him, and looked into the cave, and there was no end to the darkness.
He Lang saw that Lan Yun was also standing beside him, so he pointed to the black and flickering cave: "The person should be inside, is this speed too fast? β
Lan Yun looked at it and said, "Let's go in along the secret passage, do you have flint?"
He Lang glanced at it in his left palm, and as soon as he closed his eyes, a glass rod appeared in his hand, and he shook the glass rod at Lan Yun and said, "This is a glow-in-the-dark stick that I asked for from my brother, it is about the same as the luminosity of a flashlight, let's go, let's go in." β
The speed of the two of them was not slow, and they wanted to walk quickly for a while to catch up with Wu Jingman, but after walking for a long time, not only did they not have the shadow of the person, but they didn't even have the sound of plowing the ground, which made He Lang very surprised.
Finally, I saw Wu Jingman's figure far ahead, and he was standing in place and looking up and down.
Lan Yun walked up to him quickly and said, "Brother Ang, what's wrong?
Wu Jingman smiled and said: "I'm waiting for you, this should be inside the wall, but you can't go up recklessly, if you don't get it right, as soon as you go up, you will be discovered, and your previous efforts will be lost, but this seems to be blocked by prohibition, and I can't see the situation clearly." β
Just as the three of them were scratching their ears and cheeks to find a way, Brother Jing came over and said, "Let Xiao Jin try, he has psychic eyes, and he should be able to see the above situation through the prohibition." β
