Chapter 44: Formal Teaming
Li Qing and Giorno clad in coral armor and climbed up in the heat of the lava well.
Mother Earth is also very face-saving.
Li Qing only held on for a few more seconds, and the approaching hot lava under his feet was like millimeters of mercury in a blood pressure monitor, gradually stopping the pace of upwelling as the air pressure tended to balance.
The magma did not pursue any further, and as the distance between the two and the magma "water" increased, the steaming hot air was no longer as scorching as before.
Li Qing survived.
Together with Giorno, he climbed out of the well of lava that was smoking thick of sulfurous fumes.
The coral armor on their bodies had been scorched hot by the hot wind at the moment, and only rubbed against the hard ground slightly, and began to fall like peeling broken eggshells.
Li Qing slapped the crumbling coral on his body, and at the same time couldn't help but look back at the lava well:
The lava in the well has stopped gushing.
The surface magma that came into contact with the air was no longer as hot and bright as it had been at the beginning, and there were faint signs of solidification.
This is exactly what Li Qing planned at the beginning:
After the regurgitation of these regurgitated magma, it will naturally block the hole and form a solid "seal" that is tens or hundreds of meters long.
It's just that what Li Qing didn't plan at first was that he himself was almost sealed in this cooled volcanic rock.
"Giorno..."
Li Qing turned around and said to Giorno very solemnly: "Thank you." β
"There's no need."
Giorno replied very calmly: "Didn't you also save me on the bus before?" β
"You know... It's not the same. β
Li Qing smiled and shook his head, everything was in plain sight:
He stayed to save people because he had heard the sound of fighter jets flying low at that time, and he was about 90% sure that he and Giorno would survive.
And what about Giorno?
All Giorno could do at the risk of his life was to buy him a few more seconds.
A few seconds...
Giorno didn't have super hearing, how could he know that Li Qing would be able to escape the perception range of the meat piece by living a few more seconds?
He didn't have the ability to predict the future, so how did he know that if he bought a few more seconds, the upwelling magma would stop in time?
Giorno certainly couldn't have known that.
He was just using his life as a bargaining chip, and with that faint and uncertain hope, he gambled Li Qing's life back from the hands of death.
"Thank you."
Li Qing could only use his most sincere voice to thank this young man with a golden spirit again.
"Hmm."
This time, Giorno calmly responded to Li Qing's thanks.
But he didn't waste much time on it:
"Now is not the time to say that."
"Hurry up and seal this hole completely, otherwise when the Mi army arrives, they will definitely be interested in this big hole with sulfur smoke emitting outward."
Giorno shrugged helplessly:
"You know, it's like a Hollywood movie..."
"Whether it's aliens, weird shapes or predators, these Mi Guokees always like to dig up some strange things in some strange places."
As he spoke, he ordered the Golden Experience to seal the hole:
"Wood big wood big wood big wood big!"
The golden shadow of the fist continued to hammer against the ground, giving birth to countless thick and tough plant roots.
These roots grew and spread down the rock wall of the cave, and soon interconnected and intertwined, forming a huge "wooden plug" several meters long, completely sealing the mouth of the lava well, which had not yet completely cooled.
Li Qing was not verbose when he saw this.
He hurried to move the earth and rock, covering the striking wooden plug with a thick layer of dirt and crumbling asphalt blocks, trying to make it look indistinguishable from the rest of the broken pavement.
This amount of work is not small, fortunately, Li Qing didn't spend much effort sealing the meat block before, and now there is still a full minute for him and Giorno to use for construction.
"That's right..."
While driving the golden experience to help Li Qing fill in the soil, Giorno asked with some concern:
"How's that piece of meat, dead?"
"Not dead."
Li Qing shook his head with palpitations:
"This monster doesn't die even if it's soaked in lava, and I can't find any way to kill it."
"Luckily, it's now completely sealed underground, as long as you don't..."
"Forget it..."
He swallowed his words stiffly: "You can't set a flag at this time." β
"That's good." Giorno nodded, but his expression was still solemn: "But... If I'm not mistaken, it's not over yet, right? β
It is impossible for Li Qing to provoke such a monster for no reason.
So Giorno knew in his heart that there would definitely be more tricky troubles behind this matter.
"Speaking of which... Ha ha. β
Li Qing smiled:
"I can't say a word or two, but what I can tell you is that it has something to do with your dreams."
"What does it have to do with my dreams?" Giorno was a little puzzled.
"Don't you want to be a gangster superstar?" Li Qingshen said mysteriously: "Does the Passion Organization know? β
"Of course I do."
Giorno replied with a serious face: "My dream is to become a gangster superstar, how can I not know this top gangster who rules the entire Italia?" β
"Honestly..."
Li Qing said in a slightly exaggerated tone:
"I just met with the boss of the Passion organization this morning, and the gutter rat who didn't dare to see people has been chasing me since the morning."
"So..."
"I'm going to kill him and kill this gang by the way."
"Oh," Giorno nodded thoughtfully, "I see." β
"......" Li Qing was silent for a while, and asked with some disappointment, "Aren't you surprised?" β
"Surprised?"
Giorno gave Li Qing a speechless look:
"I've seen that kind of monster just now, even if you say that you provoked aliens, I will believe it."
"But..."
He rubbed his chin slightly, his eyes blazing:
"I used to collect information about the mafia in advance for my dreams, and the one that focused me the most was the man who would definitely become my enemy in the future and prevent me from realizing my dreams - that is, the boss of the Passion organization."
"It is said that he is an extremely mysterious and invincible man."
"He has perfectly concealed himself under the faΓ§ade of darkness and terror, and all the rebels who have tried to find out about him have hitherto gone to God in misery."
"And you..."
Giorno paused slightly:
"You were able to go head-to-head with that man without dying, and even escaped here unharmed."
"In other words, no matter how much, you must have his information in your hands!"
As he spoke, his usually flat tone became excited:
"The mystery of the boss has been uncovered by you, and the myth of his invincibility has almost been broken by you!"
"There is no doubt about it..."
"This is a great opportunity, a great opportunity to completely defeat the boss, take over the Passion organization, and become a 'Yangge star'!"
"Li Qing..."
Giorno looked at Li Qing with his deep blue eyes, and his eyes flashed with determination:
"I will walk with you to make my dreams come true!"
"Huh?"
Li Qing was slightly surprised: "I haven't said I want to invite you to help, how do you know..."
"Do you need to ask?"
Giorno stretched out his hand to Li Qing:
"We've only known each other for less than twenty minutes, and the identity of the boss is the most terrifying secret of Yidaili, and anyone who knows the boss's information will be involved in danger."
"If you don't have the heart to ask me for help, why do you have to explain such a sensitive matter to me, a '13-year-old ghost who met in Pingshui'?"
"Hahaha."
"Talking to smart people is worry-free."
Hearing this, Li Qing laughed heartily.
Following the covenant to "save the world" not long ago, he once again, tightly clasped Giorno's hand:
"Well, Giorno Chobana..."
"Let's hammer the boss's dog head together!"
