As soon as he stepped into the stairs, Wang Yu felt a wave of heat rushing towards his face.

The further you go, the higher the temperature.

He had only walked a few steps before his back and forehead were soaked.

A few drops of sweat fell on the steps, and immediately squeaked and evaporated.

The soles of the shoes also became slightly sticky, wafting a burnt smell.

It feels like walking in a big iron pot that is dry-boiled.

"What the hell is this upstairs?"

Wang Yu was very curious in his heart, why the eighth floor of the Lock Demon Tower was so hot.

He found that Caidie next to him did not follow, and when he looked sideways, Caidie was resting against the wall, her face was blue, her lips were white, and her head was covered with cold sweat, which looked very bad.

"Butterfly girl, what's wrong with you, are you okay?"

"Wang Gongzi, I don't care, it's just a little too hot."

"Are you really okay?"

"Well, I can still hold on."

Caidie gritted her teeth, forced herself to cheer up, and followed Wang Yu to continue walking up the stairs.

Wang Yu knew that ghosts were not afraid of heat, and the reason why Caidie suddenly became so weak was not because of the high temperature, but because her ghost energy was suppressed from the eighth floor of the Lock Demon Tower.

"The lord of the eighth layer of this lock demon tower seems to be really very powerful......"

Wang Yu was shrouded in a shadow in his heart, the height was unbearable, the higher he went, the more difficult it was for the enemy to deal with, but now there was no way out, no matter how powerful the demon was on the eighth floor, he couldn't let it become a stumbling block on the way to block his final escape from the Lock Demon Tower!

Upon the final step, a huge volcanic cave is revealed.

The black lava field, split into countless pieces by orange-red magma, seems to be an isolated island floating on the Red Sea.

In all directions, there are three waterfalls like lava dripping down.

As far as the eye can see, black smoke billowed everywhere.

The scorching heat creates a motion blur effect for everything the eye sees.

Wang Yu immediately sacrificed a fire amulet, and then he felt better.

"Prince Wang, look there."

Wang Yu looked in the direction pointed by Caidie and saw a platform about a few hundred meters away.

The lava platform, about the size of half a football field, floated right in the middle of the lava lake.

The magma around the platform is not usually orange-red, but dazzling golden yellow, like the midday sun, indicating that the magma temperature there is the highest.

The most important thing is that in the middle of the platform, there is a ladder that goes up!

That's where you get to the top of the Demon Lock!

"Butterfly, let's go!"

Wang Yu pulled Caidie's wrist, and at that moment, his heart trembled.

Butterfly's hands were much colder than when she was downstairs at the beginning.

It's because her ghost aura has been suppressed by this floor.

If the ghost qi is gone, the colorful butterfly that is a yin spirit will also disappear.

This is the result that Wang Yu does not want to see.

So he picked up his speed, jumping through the suspended lava as he approached the central platform.

At first, when it was on the outer layer, the fire avoidance charm still had some effect, but the further you went inside, the effect of the fire avoidance charm was about weaker.

The moment Wang Yu's footsteps finally landed on the central platform, the fire avoidance charm completely failed, and the heat in the center of the magma lake exceeded the limit of the talisman's endurance.

So Wang Yu could only grit his teeth and resist.

If it were just an ordinary person, I am afraid that it would have been scorched on the outside and tender on the inside at this time.

Fortunately, Wang Yu has cultivation to protect his body.

But his pitiful mental strength alone was not enough to withstand the intense heat.

If you were a cultivator with the same cultivation, you would have become a dry corpse a long time ago.

Wang Yu himself felt incredible.

He thought about it carefully, and the reason why he was able to hold on was probably thanks to the gall of the Nine Babies in his body.

Jiuying is a monster of water and fire, living in water and spitting fire, and it is not ordinary fire, but three flavors of real fire.

Wang Yu had already seen the power of this so-called divine fire.

Therefore, it is only natural that he who devoured the gall of the Nine Infants is cold and heat-resistant.

The staircase to the top of the building is close at hand, less than 20 meters.

Wang Yu was still wondering in his heart, would it be a little too smooth, why didn't the Lord of the Eighth Floor of the Lock Demon Tower show up?

As a result, a flag was immediately set up.

The platform beneath his feet suddenly began to shake violently, as if it had been an earthquake.

Wang Yu couldn't stand firmly, so he could only squat down and hold Caidie's hand tightly.

He heard a boom behind him.

When I looked back, I saw a behemoth leaping out of the scorching magma and landing on the platform, its massive body just enough to cover the stairs.

It was a huge tiger, black with lightning-like purple lines, silver eyes, huge fangs in its mouth, and bat-like wings.

Its size is even more exaggerated, the size of a trailer, and it stands on this platform, almost temporarily living in an area of one of ten meters, like a small building of four or five stories.

"I'll go, what's this!"

Wang Yu felt that his scalp was numb, and this one was constantly bubbling with black aura, like a tea egg that had just come out of the pot, and it was not easy to mess with at first glance.

"I've seen its portrait, it's Qiqi!"

Rainbow Butterfly recognized the monster.

"Poor ......"

Wang Yu was stunned in his heart, this sister is one of the four murderers of ancient times!

Chaos, Qiqi, gluttony, and 梼杌 are collectively known as the four fierce beasts of antiquity.

People usually correspond to the four holy beasts of the Green Dragon, the White Tiger, the Vermilion Bird, and the Xuanwu Ancient Beasts.

It is enough to see the strength of this poor strange!

Wang Yu felt a trace of despair in his heart, Qi Qi, one of the four murderers of the ancients, could only rank on the eighth layer of the Lock Demon Tower, and the Demon Emperor of the ninth layer of the Lock Demon Tower was so powerful!

At this point, Qiqi suddenly growls at Wang Yu and Fluttershy.

Suddenly, Wang Yu was blown back by a turbulent current, and seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the magma, he immediately sacrificed the Warring States Ancient Sword and pierced the sword body into the ground, which finally stopped temporarily.

He holds the sword in one hand and the butterfly in the other.

Although the person stopped, the demon fox mask on his face was hung up by the wind.

This mask, which was worth 2,000 dark coins, was blown to the back in an instant and disappeared from Wang Yu's sight.

But now is not the time to be mindful of money.

Wang Yu gritted his teeth and struggled to support it.

Finally Qiqi stopped growling.

It did not immediately attack Wang Yu, but walked around in front.

The sharp claws, raised and lowered, rubbed dazzling sparks on the ground.

Wang Yu got up from the ground, asked Caidie to go to a safe place next to him first, and then pulled out his sword and faced the menacing Qiqi alone.

"Who are you? Why are you here? ”

Qi Qi spoke, it didn't open its mouth, and the sound came directly from its stomach.

"I don't have any hostility towards you, I just want to borrow it."

At this time, it is almost twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, and Wang Yu has not much time left. If you fight, it will definitely be too late, not to mention that you are definitely not the opponent of this fierce beast.

So Wang Yu hopes to be able to explain the poor and let it borrow the way.

But as soon as Qi Qi heard the word "borrowed", he grinned and showed his terrifying fangs: "You also want to challenge the War Demon Emperor!" ”

"No, no, no! That's not true! I just ......"

"Dare to quibble! Although I don't know why you, a human being, want to enter the Demon Lock Tower to challenge the Demon Emperor, I want you to know that the Demon Emperor is the only one I can challenge! ”

"Brother Qiqi, you misunderstood, I will never rob you, I just ......"

However, Qi Qi, who was thunderous, didn't listen to Wang Yu's explanation at all, and flew over directly.

It has been waiting for a year, and it has waited for the day when the Demon Emperor wakes up this year, and finally has the opportunity to challenge the Demon Emperor again.

Before this, Qi Qi didn't know how many times he had challenged the Demon Emperor, and he had been defeated and defeated repeatedly, and he had never given up.

All the demons and monsters in the Lock Demon Tower who wanted to challenge the Nine-Layer Demon Emperor were all defeated by the eighth-layer Qiqi.

Now it intends to turn Wang Yu into one of those who do not measure themselves.

Because the distance between the two was too close, and Qi Qi's speed was fast, Wang Yu had no time to retreat, so he could only resist with a sword.

The blade of the Warring States Ancient Sword cut through one of Qi Qi's claws, and a slight blood mark appeared, while Wang Yu was directly knocked down more than ten meters away with the sword, spitting blood from his mouth.
