The moment they crossed the Gate, everyone felt a whirlwind of the sky, as if gravity had disappeared in an instant, and the whole body seemed to float in a gravityless environment. But the feeling came and went quickly, and after that moment of trance, a hot wind mixed with the smell of sulfur came to my face.

"What taste...... It stinks! And it's so hot! Hao Shen hurriedly covered his nose, this smell, this temperature, reminded him of the garbage dump after being exposed to the scorching sun in midsummer, and the strong stench can smoke people to death. The only difference is that the stench of the dump is the sour smell of rotting garbage, whereas here it does have the pungent smell of sulfur.

Covering his nose, Hao Shen frowned and observed the world behind the boundary gate.

They were on a hillside, surrounded by charred black dirt and rocks. The air was filled with grayish-yellow mist, which was not so much fog as dusty haze, which erupted from some holes in the ground, flew into the sky one by one, and then fell down, and when it first came out it was a dark red, gray-yellow seemed to be what they looked like after they had cooled down.

Through the diffuse dust and mist, the undulating mountains and ravines in the distance can be faintly seen, and in those huge mountains and deep ravines, there are many stripes that emit bright red light, the stripes are intermittent, sometimes hidden into the earth, sometimes surging and appearing, the nearest one is more than ten meters away from Hao Shen, so Hao Shen immediately understood what those stripes were - it was flowing magma!

This is a dangerous area of active volcanic activity.

No wonder there is such a strong smell of sulfur, no wonder it is so hot, behind this boundary gate, it is simply a purgatory!

Hao Shen's side, Zhao Ran and others also appeared one by one, they reacted similarly to Hao Shen, immediately covered their noses, looked at the environment here, and then they were all dumbfounded in surprise.

"Is this the legendary retreat of the kings? It's just ......" Si Li frowned and thought for a long time without coming up with any suitable adjectives to express his surprise, "Amazing! ”

"It's a hell of purgatory!" Zhao Ran summed it up for him.

Ji Ji'e was also very unaccustomed to this extremely harsh environment, but the little fairy still endured bouncing around, "Is this the place where treasures are buried?" What about the treasure? What about the treasure? ”

…… Is this girl still thinking about treasure?

"Elsa, is this the mystery of the ancient kings?" Hao Shen frowned and asked Elsa. The terrain and environment in front of you obviously do not fit the description of the hermitage of the ancient kings at all. He stomped his foot hard, and the scorched earth beneath his feet suddenly cracked a few times, and then began to collapse.

Hao Shen and the others hurriedly stepped aside, and then saw a bright flame burst out of the small collapse, and then the flame gradually disappeared, and it became a hole, emitting more and more red light. Eventually, it erupted in a wave of magma with a deflated sound, which formed a cavern that spewed lava steam.

Seeing this situation, Hao Shen was 100% sure that if the ancient kings really wanted to live in seclusion in this place, their brains would definitely be beaten by a donkey with a set of eighteen hooves of descending dragons!

"Of course not." Elsa, as a magician majoring in ice, was quite repulsive to this waterless environment, she was already sweating profusely at the moment, and she was almost panting for breath, so she could only hold on to her spirit at this time: "This is part of the King's Hermitage, but this is not our destination - Rousken must have mistaken the parameters of the Boundary Gate, and he couldn't find the true Boundary Crossing Direction...... That's great news! ”

Hao Shen saw that she was already weak and almost speechless, and hurriedly added a shield to her: Elsa, as a mage, is unimaginably weak, and in this kind of place where the water element cannot be absorbed, it is like killing her.

After being shielded from the surrounding heat, Elsa took two breaths and regained some energy, and she continued: "If the parameters of the Boundary Gate are wrong, although you can still reach this world through the Gate, you will be thrown into any corner of this world. This means that Rousken must have been thrown somewhere else as well. ”

That is to say...... Do we have a chance to reach the kings' retreat before they do? Hao Shen snapped his fingers to show understanding. But there is another question, where are the kings living in seclusion? ”

Elsa shook her head, "I don't know, no one knows about this issue, this place has been closed for nearly 100,000 years." There are only sporadic records of some of the old texts that are treasured by the teachers, and I have read them, but to be honest, there is not much useful content......"

"So we'll have to find it ourselves?" Zhao Ran frowned, looking at this world of thick smoke, feeling unprecedentedly tricky.

"Don't be busy yet, let me see." Hao Shen waved his hand, used the True Eye, and looked into the distance.

This dark red, scorched land is full of flowing rivers of magma, covered with huge and strange charred black basalt. Various toxic gases erupted from cracks and cavities in the earth, forming grayish-yellow and dark red clouds of soot. In the distance, there are many huge craters, and the spurting columns of magma river smoke reach to the sky, and the entire sky is shrouded in crimson clouds of flames, like a sea of fire burning in the sky, which is terrifying. But at the end of the cloud of fire, at the far end of the scorched earth, there was a very different dark area.

It seemed to be a land of large and small circular hills, and the billowing smoke and dust disappeared without a trace at the border of the hills, as if there was a transparent barrier dividing the world into two parts. On one side is the purgatory magma, and on the other side is the tranquil hills, with clear boundaries.

"There!" Hao Shen immediately pointed in that direction, "There is a hill there, and the magma and smoke have disappeared there!" We can go there and check it out! ”

"Hills?" Elsa thought for a moment, she really couldn't remember any mention of hills in the books. But at this moment, she can't raise any objections, the environment of this scorched land full of magma is too bad, and now she can only take one step at a time.

Under Hao Shen's command, everyone reorganized their outfits and quickly headed towards the hills.

It was not an easy task to travel through this scorched land, and everyone was cautious, because they did not know when they would step on a fragile basalt structure, and then cause a series of collapses, or they would have been targeted in the face by the sudden appearance of holes spewing hot steam, and if it were not for everyone's skill, they would have almost died in the sea of fire and poisonous gas several times.

On the way, in addition to facing all kinds of sudden and dangerous situations, they also encountered some creepy things.

It was at the foot of a small crater, in a huge magma lake formed by a huge basin of tumbling magma, and they saw a town!

Yes, that's no joke, it's a huge town in the real world: a town that covers at least several square kilometers, with walls and various buildings, but the land where this town is located at the moment has been completely lifted up, and one end is inserted into the magma lake, only the other end of the city is raised high, sticking out of the magma, standing on the edge of the magma lake, you can clearly see the black mage tower and various hedron structures built in this town - this is a town in the magical world.

Everyone was shocked to go around to the other end of the magma lake, and found information about the city on a tall stone tablet engraved with various ornate runes:

Star Manor Green Serra, founded by the archmage Ed Wells, was built in 486 in Arashiki, and has served as the cradle of mages for a thousand years, cultivating 300,000 excellent mages for the empire. - Its exploits are like this emerald capital, eternal and eternal.

"Arashi...... Ji 486? This seems like a historical era, is it the wizarding world? Hao Shen turned his head to look at Elsa.

Elsa shook her head with a strange expression, "There has never been such an age in the wizarding world, the oldest history in the wizarding world can be traced back to 300,000 years ago, but there has never been an ancient magic empire with the Arashi era as the year......" she gritted her teeth, "This may be an ancient ruin, even older than the oldest history in the wizarding world!" ”

If it is placed in the magical world or the occult world, this kind of discovery will definitely make many researchers so shocked that they are foaming at the mouth, think about it, the discovery of a prehistoric human civilization city, this is equivalent to the sudden appearance of Atlantis on the earth one day, which will have to push the history of the entire civilization forward for many years. But at the moment, no one has the heart to do that.

After a few moments around the city, everyone set off again, heading straight for the hill.

But when approaching the hill, Hao Shen suddenly realized that he had made a mistake.

When he first discovered this hill, he once thought that the round bulges were large hills, but when he came to the front, Hao Shen realized that he was very wrong—the huge and rounded bulges one after another were not hills at all, but huge blue-gray mushrooms one after another!

One after another, ten stories high, with huge umbrellas covering the sky and the sun!

When standing in front of the mushroom forest, Zhao Ran and Hao Shen both tilted their heads to look at the huge mushroom, then turned their heads and looked at the scorching purgatory behind them.

"This ...... Isn't it a place of Zangar swamps and fire? Are you sure we're not in World of Warcraft? Zhao Ran glared at Hao Shen, slowly suspicious.
