Chapter 43: Let's Live Together

The battle plan succeeded without danger, but Li Qing found a little embarrassing problem:

He, as if, had to die here, too.

The magma chamber buried deep in the ground was knocked out of the top by a large hole in the flesh, and the massive amount of magma stored in it quickly surged upwards from the gap in the top under the action of this pressure.

It's like a volcanic eruption that is infinitely less powerful.

The hot wave of magma engulfed the flesh, then the vertical tunnel connecting the cavern to the magma room, and then poured upwards into the cavern like a backpouring of toilet water.

What had been empty not so long ago had become a lake of lava overflowing with lava and heat.

But that's not the end of it.

The "water level" of the magma lake was rising, and the upwelling lava soon filled the space-limited underground cavern, and began to pour farther up, the tunnel that connected the underground cavern to the ground.

This tunnel soon turned into a well of magma with a rising "water level".

And Li Qing is here now.

"Looks like my luck hasn't gotten that far..."

As he struggled to climb up the near-vertical tunnel to the ground, he looked helplessly at the magma water that was approaching him beneath his feet:

"I'm not a supercomputer with accurate data, and I can't accurately predict the upwelling speed of this magma."

"And what's worse..."

"This upwelling magma is getting closer and closer to me, but I can't escape with my skills!"

According to Li Qing's original idea, he would start to climb up the moment the meat block began to dig towards the magma room, and then climb out of the perception range of the meat block before the magma poured up.

However, the speed of magma gushing was not something that Li Qing could have predicted in advance.

He can only gamble.

It's unfortunate that the "gamble" that Li Qing didn't expect before was unintentionally planted in the willows, but the "handicap" that he was thinking about at this moment had the intention to plant flowers and flowers -

The magma swelled up at a speed far faster than he could have imagined.

If he continued to climb up with his hands and feet so slowly, Li Qing would soon be caught up by the magma that came first, and he would be washed away by the lava of thousands of degrees to the slag.

The only way to do this is to use the two high-speed movement skills, "Golden Bell Jar" or "Echo Strike", to escape directly to the ground before you are engulfed in lava.

However, this skill cannot be used.

Because the speed of the magma upwelling was too fast, Li Qing was about to be swallowed up by the well of magma under his feet before he could climb out of the perception range of the meat block.

"I'm about 80 meters above the lump of meat right now, and I'm still 20 meters away from completely escaping its senses."

"If I use my Movement Skill to escape now, I can erupt at a speed that far exceeds the magma wave... It's definitely going to chase after me and rush to the ground with me! ”

"In that case..."

"All the hard work that Giorno and I have done before has been in vain!"

Li Qing clenched his fists, and a firm determination welled up in his heart:

"You can't put skills, you can only climb up slowly."

"Climb out of the last twenty meters, and I'll be able to get rid of that piece of flesh forever!"

Lava upwells and heat hits.

This vertical tunnel that had just been carved out by the body of the meat piece had now transformed into an alchemy furnace with full firepower.

Li Qing is now the "Sun Monkey" who was thrown into this alchemy furnace, but he doesn't have the body of the Monkey King who is invulnerable to fire and water, and King Kong is not badβ€”he has already begun to lose blood.

Even if the rising lava hadn't touched his body directly, he couldn't withstand the endless wave of heat that rushed up from under his feet.

Kebabs don't need to be grilled directly on the charcoal, just on the charcoal.

The terrifying heat rushing up from the magma naturally heated the air to the point of twisting and deformation, turning it into a powerful invisible oven.

"Damn..."

Li Qing could feel that the air around him must be at least hundreds of degrees Celsius.

Bathing in such hot air is actually more painful than touching the soldering iron directly with your skin.

And although Li Qing was able to shield the pain that was enough to make people crazy, he couldn't ignore the huge damage caused by the scorching air.

"Steady... Steady! ”

"We're just 10 meters away!"

Li Qing forced himself not to look at the rapidly descending blood bar, and climbed up wholeheartedly.

10 meters... 9 meters... 8 meters... 7 meters...

He seemed to be able to escape the perception of that piece of flesh in no time, and he was given a new lease of life.

However, the distance between life and death is often only so short.

When Li Qing was only six meters away from being out of the sensing range of the meat block, his health was also scorched by the hot air to only 12%.

That's not enough health for him to survive for two seconds.

At this moment, he has only two choices -

One, directly target Giorno and return to the ground with a celestial sound wave or a golden bell jar. In this way, the piece of meat will follow him back.

Second, stay and wait to die, and sleep forever in this underground purgatory with the piece of meat.

What to choose?

"Hahaha..."

"If you choose the second one, you will go directly to GameOver, and normal people will definitely choose the first one, right?"

"When a person dies, there is nothing, and when a person dies, it is useless to say anything."

Between this lightning and flint, countless thoughts flashed through Li Qing's mind.

He even planned the life-saving measures he should take after returning to the ground:

"Even if I lure that piece of flesh back to the surface, I'm afraid it won't be going to survive with the little bit of health I have left, but..."

"But there's Giorno Chopperna, isn't there?"

"That idiot will definitely subconsciously save me, as long as I use him as bait, I can still survive with residual blood."

"The first road is such an easy and easy way to live!"

"But..."

Li Qing's upward climbing movement suddenly froze: "I refuse!" ”

Maybe it's because of the rush or because of the reason to go offline, but Li Qing was unconsciously infected by the too real environment of this game after all, so much so that he learned something from the 13 little ghost named Giorno who would kill himself.

He gave up his escape and chose to stay.

"Since you claim to be an advanced player, you shouldn't let your teammates take responsibility for the mistakes you made!"

"It's just a life..."

"Anyway, it's playing games, haha... Maybe you'll be resurrected even if you're dead, right? ”

A complicated smile appeared on the corner of Li Qing's mouth.

He slowly let go of his grip on the rock wall, ready to throw himself into the endless lava in style:

"Although the game is only half a day, I have to say..."

"It's a good game!"

"Hey!"

"Climb up, I'm coming!"

At the moment when Li Qing smiled and typed out the GG, a slightly hurried voice suddenly recalled his consciousness from this purgatory.

This is Giorno Voice.

"What?!"

Li Qing's face froze, and he couldn't help but be shocked:

He had just been paying attention to the "water level" of the magma beneath him and the location of the flesh block, but he didn't notice it at all... Giorno climbed off the ground at some point!

"What are you doing here? Send it to death! ”

Perceiving Qiao Lunuo, who was now less than five meters above him, Li Qing was so angry that his tone changed.

"I see your mangled blood bar."

"You need help, don't you?"

Giorno's slightly heavy voice came from overhead, and it was clear that he had felt the air in the lava well.

And Li Qing could still hear from this voice that Giorno was getting closer and closer to him.

"Don't go any further, the air down there is hotter!"

"I can't even hold my digital body, if you crawl any further, you'll die!"

Li Qing scolded angrily.

But Giorno came down anyway.

The lava is pouring upwards, but Giorno and his golden experience are climbing down:

"Li Qing, you are already my approved companion."

"I, Giorno Chopper, will never give up on my friends!"

"Wood big wood big wood big wood big!"

The golden shadow of the fist bloomed in the well of lava, and its light could even surpass the magma that contained infinite light and heat.

The fist was struck on the rock wall.

The golden experience first slammed into the dirt on the rock wall, and then splashed the soft dirt that it had beaten into mud like a naughty child playing with his companions.

"You... What are you doing? ”

Li Qing was stunned for a while.

Then, he immediately noticed that the mud that had been splashed on him by the golden experience seemed to come to life:

They continued to grow, deform, and hook up with each other, and in just a few breaths, they put a strange layer of "armor" on Li Qing's body.

At this time, Li Qing noticed...

The silhouette of Giorno and the Golden Experience is slightly different from usual, and they seem to be wearing the same "armor" as themselves.

"It's stony coral."

Giorno, who was nothing but a mortal in the flesh, trembled in his voice in this scorching furnace:

"The coral has a natural foamy structure with a large number of tiny cavities in its body – even if they die in the heat, the calcium carbonate shell of this foam structure will be preserved forever."

"Then there's the simple principle of foam insulation:"

"The thermal conductivity of air is very low when it is not moving, so it can temporarily help us block the burning of hot air."

"It won't last a few seconds, but it's enough."

"Let's go..."

Giorno stretched out his hand to Li Qing:

"Let's live together!"
