195 Abyss
Darkness, endless darkness. Humans are born with a fear of darkness, and I'm afraid that ten months in the mother's womb have had enough of it.
Flowing fire doesn't like darkness, because darkness means cold. And the experience of being an orphan since he was a child made him have a strong resistance to the cold.
This is how it feels to be in the current drifting fire, and he feels like he is back in the straw village of his childhood, curled up in this pile of straw on a cold winter night.
The thick straw resisted the cold north wind, and in the long dark night, Flowing Fire didn't know what else to think about except missing his mother.
I don't know what's wrong, but Liuhuo suddenly saw his mother's back again, the back of the one who was coughing and struggling in the kitchen. Also, when his mother was dying, his lips trembled and he wanted to tell Liuhuo who his father was, but his mother's illness was so serious that he didn't say that sentence in the end.
My mother passed away with regret, and the thought of this fire hurts very much.
It's the same today, the intense pain suddenly brings the flowing fire back to reality. Flowing Fire woke up from a long nightmare.
Liuhuo, who opened his eyes wide, wanted to see the surrounding situation clearly, but he couldn't see anything, and it took a long time to get used to it before he could vaguely distinguish the surrounding environment.
"What is this place? How am I lying on the edge of a cliff..."
Drifting Fire finally saw his situation clearly, he was now lying on the edge of a cliff, very close, if Driftfire was not careful, he would fall.
Looking at the bottomless abyss, the flowing fire was sweating with fright, and he struggled to move his body inward, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move.
It hurts so much, it turns out that the pain in the dream is real. There is no place in the body that does not hurt now. Flowfire looked up at the sky, and he couldn't see anything at all, except for some faint sounds as the wind blew. Maybe that's the call of the giants.
"Falling from such a high place, I guess none of the bones are good, and it doesn't hurt to hell..."
"But why didn't I die?"
Before Liuhuo could figure it out, suddenly there was another sharp pain from his internal organs, and he rolled his eyes in pain, and suddenly fainted again.
It seems that the water of the spiritual spring is not so delicious.
Flowing fire is both lucky and unfortunate. The Ten Directions Spirit Pool in the Temple of the God of War was a hundred times more advanced than the one in the Yu family, and the spring water's ability to transform the human body was extremely powerful.
At least the spirit pool of the Yu family does not have a resurrection function, which shows the level gap between them.
For thousands of years, people have used skin-to-skin contact to absorb the energy in the spiritual spring, and no one has ever tried to drink it directly. Because the water is so corrosive, the internal organs will be burned directly if they come into direct contact.
However, one point cannot be denied. The effect of drinking directly is definitely much better than skin absorption, at least now the flow of fire has benefited a lot.
If he hadn't been protected by the spiritual spring water in his belly, he would have died long ago if he fell from such a high place.
In the process of falling into a coma, Lingquan's power kept repairing his injured body, and even the broken skull was rapidly healing.
Because of this, Flowing Fire saved a small life.
What's more, the spiritual spring water that Flowing Fire drank was not of high concentration, and Jumu's body had already absorbed some of the energy before he drank it, which was the main reason why Flowing Fire's internal organs were not burned.
Flowing Fire didn't die, but now he was no different from dead. The pain of the wounds all over the body, plus the pain of Lingquan's transformation of the body, all hit together. The current Liuhuo actually really wants to die, at least he doesn't have to suffer so much when he dies.
I don't know how long it took, but Liuhuo woke up again, maybe the transformation of Lingquan was suspended again, and now the pain is much less.
Flowing Fire struggled, moving his body as much as possible inward, it was too dangerous, Flowing Fire was afraid that he would fall into the abyss if he turned over in his sleep, then he would lose a lot of money, wouldn't that be a vain pain?
After resting for a long time, Liuhuo finally leaned his body against a stone wall. When his back touched the solid stone wall, Liuhuo finally breathed a sigh of relief, "It's safe..."
But before he could think of anything else, a sharp pain came, and the flowing fire fainted again in a very hopeless way. It seems that the power of the spiritual spring water has not dissipated at all.
In this way, Liuhuo woke up for a while, fell into a coma for a while, and tossed four or five times before it stopped a little. When Liuhuo leaned against the stone wall and gasped for breath for a long time, he had a bottom in his heart.
"It's been an hour, the pain hasn't appeared, it seems that it's safe for the time being..."
It was only then that Flowing Fire was interested in observing its surroundings.
It turned out that the flowing fire was on the side of a huge abyss, and on the opposite cliff, countless plank roads and caves were excavated, and it was dense enough to see at a glance.
Liuhuo himself was now on a plank road, and the side facing the abyss was unprotected, so lonely and exposed. And this plank road is not long, it is more than 400 meters long, the two ends of the plank road turn into the inside of the cliff, and nothing can be seen clearly in the dark hole.
What the hell is this place, how could anyone have carved a labyrinth-like cave and plank road here? Flowing Fire can't see the bottom of the abyss, and he can't see how long this abyss is, but Flowing Fire can estimate the width of the abyss, which is four or five hundred meters wide.
"The labyrinth, it must be the labyrinth. The legendary Labyrinth of the God of War..."
"By the way, I still have a map, the map that Mei Jiaoniang gave me..."
Thinking of this, Liuhuo nervously stretched his hand into his arms, eager to find the map. Thankfully, none of these precious belongings were lost, and the map was still intact.
When the Drift Fire spreads out the map, a problem suddenly becomes apparent. I have no mana now, and I can't summon any spells at all, in such a dark abyss, I can barely use the moonlight to see the environment, and if I want to see this dense map, it's a dream.
Liuhuo rubbed his eyes for a long time, but he couldn't see the lines on the picture clearly, so he had to give up in the end.
"Forget it, I guess it's useless to read it. I didn't enter through the entrance, I didn't know where I was when I fell in so coldly, and I was blind with a map..."
Drifting Fire put the map away, took a breath on the ground, and finally decided to break through the huge underground labyrinth himself.
Sitting still is not the style of flowing fire, and flowing fire in desperate situations is always unusually strong. Flowing Fire stood up against the stone wall, breathing in his vitality as he explored.
After a while, the fire walked to the end of the plank road and got into this underground labyrinth.
Meanwhile, above the abyss, the giants in the Altar Temple were still busy. The Grim Reaper and a dozen tribal patriarchs were surrounding the Fanged Elders, deliberating nervously.
"Elder, I can't care so much, now we must open the entrance to the labyrinth, the son of the god of war is kind to us, we can't see death without saving..."
"Yes, Elder. Although the maze is extremely complicated, we have giants, we can send more people, if it really doesn't work, let's gather the warriors of the entire vast mountain, even if we mobilize 100,000 people, we have to turn the maze over..."
The patriarchs forced the elders to the palace with nonsense, but the fanged elders were also difficult to do, and in the end, there was really no way, and the fanged elders could only tell the truth.
"Enough, it's all quiet... Do you think I don't want to? But this labyrinth can't be entered by us giants at all, and if you want to save people, how can you save them..."
The elder's words made everyone stunned. What does this mean? God of War Labyrinth can't be entered by giants?
The frustrated Fanged Elder led everyone to an inconspicuous corner of the main hall, and after removing a few large cabinets, a small stone door was revealed.
"Moon Shadow, open the stone door..."
Apparently knowing what Elder Fangs meant, Moon Shadow walked to the stone gate dejectedly and opened the small stone door, revealing the dark and deep passage inside.
Moon Shadow looked at Yongdao and whispered, "We haven't told you all this time, in fact, we are afraid of hitting everyone's emotions. Look at this narrow corridor...."
"Don't you understand? I can't even get into this tunnel, let alone you... In this world, except for those mortals in the north who can enter freely, we giants don't think about it..."
Moon Shadow's words shook everyone silently, but the facts were in front of them. Moon Shadow is the shortest of the giants, and even he can't get in, so don't think about it, big guys.
"How... How so? Could it be that the God of War Labyrinth was built specifically for mortals, or was it built by mortals?"
"God of War... Why is this so, you are the patron saint of our giants, why is your labyrinth rejecting us giants..."
On the spot, many patriarchs couldn't stand this blow, and actually cried bitterly.
After a while, the stag patriarch suddenly stood up, "We can use the crack, huh? we weave a rope ladder to hang down, as long as we look slowly, we will definitely find the Flowing Fire Lord..."
"Yes, the buck's words make sense, although the abyss is very deep, we giants will never give up, if we can't find it for a day, we will look for a month, or we will find it for a year, ten years..."
"As long as we persevere, there will definitely be hope..."
The words of the stag patriarch aroused everyone's courage, and now everyone was not so afraid when they looked at the dark abyss, and they didn't need to speak with the fanged elder, everyone went back to their tribe to mobilize people.
Chen Shen looked at the patriarchs who were going away and said with some incredulity.
"Does it really work? Even if they find it, it won't be something that can be done in a few months, and I don't know if the fire will be dead or alive by then..."
The sun didn't look at him, just stared blankly at the abyss, "We giants never lack courage, but we lack wisdom." In the chaotic situation during the day, it was still the command of the flowing fire that stabilized everyone, and I really can't imagine how chaotic it would be today without him..."
The words of the bright sun reached everyone's hearts, and everyone was silent.
