With his size and gunfirearms, the bald man quickly mobilized everyone in the restaurant, and after about twenty minutes, the group cautiously walked out of the door and passed past the spirits that were on fire or flowing with lava.

As Professor Craig said, none of the monsters attacked, or even turned a blind eye to them.

After discovering this, everyone immediately breathed a sigh of relief, accelerated their pace and rushed forward, and after a while, they rushed out of a distance of several hundred meters, sweating profusely and stopped to rest.

Don't feel that you are tired like this after only a few hundred meters, your physical fitness is too rubbish.

You must know that this is not a normal temperature or high temperature in the usual sense, but a terrifying high temperature of more than forty or fifty degrees, and if there is a river of flames and magma nearby, the temperature will immediately rise by more than ten degrees, reaching an astonishing sixty or seventy degrees.

Generally speaking, the ambient temperature exceeds the human body temperature of 36 to 37, which is an out-and-out high temperature environment, and reaching 40 degrees will bring a huge additional burden to the internal organs, respiratory and blood circulation system.

As for 50 degrees and 60 degrees, it can already be called an out-and-out death environment, even if there is sufficient water replenishment, after an hour or two, people will begin to be unable to support it.

In the restaurant before, because there were still ice cubes left in the cold storage to cool down, everyone didn't feel too uncomfortable.

But now when they leave the restaurant, they immediately feel the feeling of being in a steamer and sauna, and after only three or four minutes, their bodies have become like a never-extinguishing flame burning, and many people can't help but take out bottled water and pour it on their mouths, faces and bodies.

"Damn, stop, stop, don't waste water, we've got kilometers to go!" Mansha shouted at the scene.

But unfortunately, no one paid any attention to her at all.

The pampered citizens of Los Angeles have long since lost the stoic character of former European immigrants, and have become arrogant and lazy.

Just when the girl was about to say something, Craig waved his hand and stopped: "Don't waste your efforts, let them go." Anyway, they're all adults and have the right to take responsibility for their actions, and I think it's a blessing to have a quarter of them leave alive. ”

"Yes...... But these people are here because of this book! We have an obligation to help them!" Mansha subconsciously clenched her fists, and a trace of unbearability flashed in her eyes.

"No, child, our only obligation is to go back alive and then announce this momentous discovery to the whole world. Looking at the rare elements and minerals contained in the scorching magma around here, it is an unimaginable treasure for the entire human race, not to mention the mythical and legendary fire spirits. Believe me, these things are precious treasures, no matter what happens to the others, you and I must go back alive. If I can't hold on to this old bone, it's all up to you. ”

With that, Professor Craig patted the girl on the shoulder, carefully avoiding the hot ground that melted the soles of her shoes, and continued to walk deeper and shallower.

Mansha bit her lower lip and glanced at the companions behind her, but finally relented and quickly chased after them.

She knew very well that she couldn't even protect herself at the moment, let alone save everyone.

In this way, along the bumpy road, which occasionally produces earthquakes, magma jets, and other unexpected conditions, slowly progressed, and the fewer people walked, and the fewer people walked, and by the time they reached the bottom of the volcano, there were less than eight of the more than thirty people left, and the rest either fainted on the road or accidentally fell into the magma and burned alive to ashes.

Of course, a large part of them died by themselves, and when they saw some hot rocks inlaid with large pieces of diamonds, rubies, and cooled gold, they couldn't suppress the greed in their hearts, and they tried to get it down and take it back to make a windfall, but in the end, the wealth was not made, and their lives were put into it.

Looking up at the steep terrain of the crater, the bald man took a deep breath and asked in an uncertain tone, "Professor, are you sure the key is inside?"

"That's right! The book says that Ikalet, who sleeps inside the roaring volcano, holds the key to leave. What we need to do is summon it through a magical ritual. Craig nodded and replied in an extremely weak tone.

The prolonged heat had exhausted all his energy for the seventy-year-old man, and the only motivation to keep him alive was to see the most powerful flame spirit in the legend, Ikalet.

No archaeological researcher can resist making mythical creatures a reality!

"Oh oh my God! this book! the book hasn't been lit yet?" the white youth finally noticed the strangeness of the old parchment book.

After all, the terrifying high temperature environment has already burned everything that can be burned, such as cotton T-shirts, shirts, and socks, which suddenly burn as you walk, and plastic bottles filled with water have begun to deform little by little, but a parchment book is not at all fine, absolutely abnormal.

"I think maybe some kind of magic is protecting the book, as if those primitive Semitic alphabets helped us avoid the fire spirits. Mansha's eyes flashed with a hint of strangeness, and she lowered her head to give her own explanation.

Because most of her clothes have been burned, she only uses a strip of fabric to cover her sizable breasts and crotch, so she looks very sexy and charming.

But the men in the team were so tired that they didn't have the slightest desire, and after just one glance, they turned their attention to the ancient books.

"Well, now is not the time to discuss the book. Work hard, and wait until we get back alive to find out what incredible power it has. Professor Craig obviously didn't want to reveal too much and took the initiative to close the topic.

Under his leadership, a group of eight people held hands and used their last strength to climb to the top of the erupting volcano.

Before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, the old professor pushed the bald man down the crater, followed by opening one of the pages of the ancient book, and chanted aloud the inscription in Sassanid Pahlavi: "Great Ikalet, born from the first light and fire of the world! Thou art the source of all life, a symbol of strength, courage and destruction, a symbol of transcendence of death and transcendence of fear! In accordance with the ancient covenant, I hereby offer you a sacrifice in exchange for the key to leave......

Rumble!

With an even more violent eruption!

A monster with horns on its head and a demonic form finally jumped out of the deepest part of the volcano!

Even though it was only three meters tall, it was burned with a dazzling white glow all over its body, and even the slightest rubbing of a rock would instantly vaporize by the terrifying heat......
