Part 2 Chapter 74 The Magma Sea
In the fifteenth minute, the hot gas burned the skin red. If you don't reach the finish line, you are likely to suffocate to death due to the gradually rising gas. Thinking of the consequences, Kyle gritted his teeth and sped up.
In the seventeenth minute, finally, as if passing through the magma layer, the surrounding resistance and temperature plummeted, and the sudden change in the environment caught Kyle off guard and exploded with a magic ball, but what his body came into contact with was much colder air.
For a moment, Kyle's body turned into free fall and fell downward, and there was a glowing world underneath. But Kyle didn't have time to think about it, and the consequences of falling to the ground at such a height would undoubtedly be death. But he didn't have much time to react, just a breath, and his body was already close to the ground.
Kyle subconsciously prepares to fall to the ground, but just as he closes his eyes to meet the impact, the first thing his body touches is a soft net. While the speed of his body dropped significantly, the net even caused Kyle's body to be evenly stressed, giving him room to relax, and finally fell to the ground with little force.
The body, it seems, did not suffer much damage, the ground was a dark red fine sand, Kyle opened his eyes, and saw Han Kun and Jia'er.
"I forgot to remind you. Fortunately, we reached the ground one step ahead of time, and Jia'er caught you, so you weren't hurt, right? ”
In his ears, Han Kun's greeting sounded. Although the skin was slightly burned, fortunately, the body tissues were not impacted and were sufficient to maintain normal life activities. Kyle struggled to get up from the ground, his skin still a little red, but the environment around him made him careless of the pain.
It's a red world, and overhead, there's a sea of orange. If that's right, the orange ocean above your head is a sea of magma! The air around them is not as hot and dry as imagined, but only close to the temperature of about twenty-five degrees, under the feet is a dark red fine sand, it looks like the three of them have fallen into a dark red desert, these sand seems to be a lot sticky, just when the body touches the ground, there is a lot of this kind of sand, after standing up, the skin that comes into contact with these sand even has some cold feeling, the temperature of the sand is much lower than imagined.
"Well, let's just say that, welcome to the underworld."
Han Kun said with a smile.
"How do you know there's such a place?"
"After all, you're from an alien planet, and you don't know as much about Earth as we do, right? But having said that, the vast majority of earthlings don't know that there is such a large space beneath this volcanic belt. With human technology, we can't get out of the lava like we do. ”
Han Kun even began to help Kyle dust off the sand. He continued, "Let's go, we're not going here. Luckily, the compass still works underground, otherwise I wouldn't have known how to orient myself. ”
Han Kun took out the flying carpet from the space stone again, took out some medicine from it, and handed the two things to Kyle.
"Let's go, the same as on the ground. You control, I'll show the way. Here's some medicine for burns, and you can apply this thing to your burned skin. ”
And just like that, the three of them set out on their journey again. The effect of the scald medicine given by Han Kun is indeed remarkable, just apply it to the skin, and the burn feeling will be eliminated quickly, but to the surprise of Kel, it seems that Jia'er and Han Kun's skin has nothing to do with it, obviously they not only reached the finish line faster than themselves, but they have not yet been hit by the heat, which makes Kyle a little puzzled. In terms of the level of finesse of mana control, he was extremely confident in himself, but even so, he arrived at his destination in embarrassment. Since the two were not observable on the road, there was no way to know this.
After flying forward like this for more than two hours, the three of them had to stop. In front of me, there is a cliff, and below the cliff is a sea of magma!
The magma flowing at the bottom of the cliff and the magma in the sky look the same, the magma has a drop of two or three hundred meters from the cliff, but due to the existence of this magma sea, the surrounding temperature has undoubtedly risen by a gradient, the temperature here is estimated to be around thirty-five degrees, which is a bit high, it is difficult to imagine that the direction guided by Han Kun is at the other end of the magma sea, if you fly rashly from the magma sea, the heat flow above does not know what it will burn the three of them.
"If I'm not mistaken, you'll be able to reach your destination after crossing this sea of magma. But it seems that this magma sea is not so wide, right? Am I mistaken? ”
Han Kun pinched his chin and thought about something while talking to himself. Indeed, this lava sea cannot fly, otherwise it is a dead end. But if you want to get around this area, you don't know how long it will take, and Han Kun has the impression that this magma sea runs through almost the entire underground world, which means that the three of them can't bypass it at all.
"What to do? If you fly over the way with the method taught by the master. Will it work? ”
"You can't fly over this width in less than thirty minutes, right? Not to mention that there is convection over the lava sea, and if we encounter it and cause the flying carpet to be unstable, we will all be unlucky. ”
"What is the destination of Master?"
"You'll know when you get there, that kind of place, I can't describe it."
And just like that, after a short exchange, there was a troubled silence.
Unable to think of any breakthrough at all, Kyle simply didn't want to, and his attention slowly turned to Jia'er.
The woman didn't say a word the whole time. The two met for the first time when they left the village. The girl in a long blue-gray dress with silk almost completely covering her skin that should have been exposed, only one face was visible from her whole body, but her scarlet eyes and long silver-white hair made a deep impression on Kyle. It was the first time he had seen such a natural silver-haired woman, and it was also the first time he had seen a creature with scarlet eyes. The woman hadn't said a word since the beginning, and seemed to be a quiet person, but despite this, Kyle was extremely curious about her.
As if aware that someone was watching her, Jia'er's gaze turned to Kyle, and her eyes met in the air, and Kyle turned her head unnaturally, as if she was a little embarrassed. After all, staring at girls is quite a losing act.
"No matter what you think, there are only two ways to solve it."
Han Kun's voice suddenly reached the ears of the two of them.
"Two?!"
Kyle was taken aback. After thinking about the problem of no progress for so long, Han Kun was able to come up with two solutions.
"Well, but there's a chance of failure. First, we wrap around. I have the impression that this world has a fortress passage built on a lava sea, as long as we find this kind of fortress passage, we can pass through, but the problem is that we don't know the specific location of the fortress passage, although it is not on our left or right, if we can fly all the way to the end, there is a 50% chance that we can find it. The second is to forcibly fly over. ”
"But isn't there convection above the lava sea?"
"Yes, it's dangerous, but it's not necessarily impossible. Luckily, we weren't short on time, and the three of us could work together. I have to say that the probability of the second method passing is about 70%. ”
"Is it only seventy percent......"
Kyle swallowed. Although seventy percent of the accounts for the majority, the remaining thirty percent are likely to fall into the sea of magma and burn to death. If the first method is to choose a detour with only half the chance of success, but at least there is no danger to life, if the second method is chosen, it is fine if there is no major accident, but if there is an accident, three lives may be lost.
"Choose, two methods, one vote per person, I choose two."
"I'll pick two."
Jia'er didn't say anything.
Obviously, both Han Kun and Kyle seemed to be a little surprised that the other party chose the second method. Since both of them chose the same method, Jia'er's choice is irrelevant. As if expected, Jia'er didn't make any choice.
"Then do it. Let's start with it, if the three of us want to pass smoothly, we must cooperate. Kyle, you're in charge of keeping the Flying Carpet balanced and flying, and I'm in charge of guiding the way and avoiding convection as much as possible, Gelle, and maintaining the mana layer and defeating any obstacles that come your way. ”
Both nodded, leaving nothing to disagree.
After a little trimming, the three of them adjusted their state to the best and flew towards the magma sea with a full momentum!
As soon as he came up, Kyle riveted his strength and controlled the flying carpet to fly forward as fast as he could, because he also knew that the air convection was not so severe at the beginning, and the terrible air flow was in the middle of the flight.
I can feel the magic fluctuations on Jia'er's body, but the wonderful thing is that Kyle can't detect any magic around him at all, and Jia'er's invisible magic is just Kyle, and he can't detect it with the naked eye.
Finally, it was possible to observe the heat wave that was creating out of thin air in front of me, and this heat wave was even able to distort the light, so it was not difficult to observe its presence with the naked eye. Air convection is a phenomenon that occurs mainly because of the contact between cold air and hot air, and the relative flow of the air due to the different temperatures of each part. This kind of convection is common in the world, but the convection produced by such a large area of magma sea is unimaginably strong.
"To the left!"
With Han Kun's order, Kyle immediately adjusted the direction of the flying carpet, and they successfully avoided a convective heat wave, which was terrifying just to look at. If you crash into it, you don't know how the flying carpet will shake.
"To the right!"
Before he could adjust, Han Kun immediately issued the next command, and Kyle adjusted the direction of the flying carpet again, narrowly avoiding this wave of heatwaves, it was obvious that the further these heat waves flew, the denser they became.
"Left!"
"Down!"
"Top right!"
......
Under Han Kun's series of orders, Kyle desperately controlled the flying carpet to toss and turn in the air, although the direction was constantly changing, but the speed of the flying carpet did not decrease much. Until now, these convections have been manageable.
Han Kun's order suddenly changed.
"I can't avoid this big wave ahead, Jia'er!"
