Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Scorching Land

I put the Thundering Bead in my hand in the groove in the stone platform, and a stream of green lightning flashed from the Thundering Bead, looking at the remaining grooves that were still empty, even if Han Yu's words gave us some hope, but it was completely a coincidence that we could break the harvest in the Land of Thunder, because of some help.

We have already seen the strength of the harvest, and since the rest of us can be on a par with it, we must all be evenly matched, and the hopeful expressions of everyone who thought of this quickly dimmed.

"Where to go next?" Gu Xiaoxiao looked around at the rest of the stone pillars and asked.

"The catastrophes of Buddhism and Taoism should all originate here, and the catastrophes of Buddhism and Taoism are the most severe in floods, so it is better to leave them to the end to try, and then choose one of the storms and fires first." Calmly said.

The envoy walked up to us and pointed to the remaining stone pillars and told us that the fire was in charge of the Southern Zhurong, and that the fire beads were stored inside, and that the wind calamity was caused by the wind and sand land of the Eastern Shenmang, which contained the Wind God Beads.

"The Four Divine Emperors have their own merits, and they are in charge of different trials, so I hope you will weigh it clearly."

"I have heard the name of Zhu Rong in this Divine Emperor of the Quartet, and I am somewhat familiar with it compared to other Divine Emperors." I'll see what everyone says helplessly. "Why don't we go to the scorching land of Zhurong first."

The others nodded, and I was just about to turn around and touch the stone pillar to the south, when suddenly I said something serious behind me.

"The trials in the Scorching Land are different from others, the test is willpower and, since you choose to take the Scorching Fire Bead first, the underworld has a word to tell."

"You say." The sample was meant to remind me of something.

"Because the scorching land is the will of the test tower breaker, once you enter, the more timid you are in it, the more difficult the trial, if you have doubts and fears...... I'm afraid it will never be recovered. ”

"You don't have a pain in your back when you stand and talk, in the land of thunder, we are fighting hard to harvest elephants, and it would be a lie to say that we are not afraid, but we are facing the God Emperor of the Quartet." Yun Duruo glanced at him and said angrily. "If it's like you said, we can't even enter this scorching place."

"The underworld is just leading the law to guard the tower, and the underworld emperor enters, it stands to reason that the underworld should know everything and say everything, but at the beginning, the underworld ministers did not dare to make any mistakes here, and now they hope that you will be careful." The envoy is respectful, but the expression is grim.

Looking at his appearance, I know that this scorching place is not trivial, if I remember correctly, this is the first time he reminded us, after listening to his words, I was a little hesitant, we have to face the overlord of the Quartet, now think about it, the towering huge body is still terrifying, it is human nature to be afraid, how can it be possible to say that you are not timid at all.

"No matter how precipitous this scorching place is, we have to go sooner or later, why bother with so much, the worst result is nothing more than death." Seeing that I was hesitant, Han Yu patted me on the shoulder and said with relief. "Anyway, we can't get out now, and we will wait until we sink into the Stygian Sea with the glazed Linglong Tower, or we will be trapped here and buried in the yellow sand like those ancient gods and demons."

Nodding firmly with the others, I took a deep breath and made steady contact with my hand on the stone pillar to the south.

Suddenly, a scorching heat that made us unable to breathe surging towards us, I felt the pain of my cheeks being burned by the fire, and subconsciously closed my eyes, and the wind blowing in my ears was mixed with a suffocating heat wave.

I slowly opened my eyes, and then squirmed my Adam's apple, I thought this should be the burning place that I mentioned, I slowly opened my mouth in surprise, and licked my dry lips, we were now standing on a raised rock, only the size of a palm, just enough for the five of us to stand, even when we turned around, it seemed cramped.

But everyone tried to get as close as possible, and it was estimated that no one wanted to take the slightest step outward, because all that could be seen around the protruding rock was the endless molten lava that flowed slowly and did not know where it was going.

The hot molten slurry boiled all around us, bulging and bursting one after another, and the flowing wind whipped up the molten sparks flying all over the sky, staining our clothes and penetrating into our skin for a moment, and we could only feel the burning of the heart.

We couldn't even breathe normally, the flowing air seemed to be about to burn, and it was only a moment before we were teleported here, and each of us had already had a dry mouth, and I saw that Yun Duruo and Gu Xiaoxiao's lips were dry and cracked, as if the moisture on their bodies was about to be evaporated by the high temperature here.

This is not a more troublesome thing, the rock we are standing on is so small that the slightest mistake will slide down from it, and once it falls into the molten lava, it will be melted into ash in an instant, this is a completely lifeless place, and the only thing we can feel here is the fear that has been telling us not to have it.

"Look." Han Yu pointed ahead and said.

It was a stone that connected the rocks, and could only accommodate one man, and I don't know how the stone was set up in the boiling molasse, but it was the only way to get us out of the rock, and the narrow stone led to the opposite place, where there was another stone platform, and there we saw the altar, on which the fiery orbs of the red fire were sacrificed.

If you want to get the Fire Orb, you have to walk over the narrow stone, where you can only put down one foot, and if you are not careful, you can easily fall into the molten lava, although the heat here is unbearable, and the endless molten lava is chilling as far as the eye can see, but looking back on the things we experienced in the Land of Thunder, it seems that this hot land is much easier than unbearable.

"Shi Narrow, I can only go alone, you all hurt me to try." Han Yu squatted on the ground and picked up a piece of gravel and threw it in the molten slurry, and immediately raised a puff of smoke, presumably this molten slurry was extraordinary, even the stone could be melted into ashes.

and I have injuries on my body, every time Han Yu takes the lead, I am a little reluctant not to go, tell him to be careful, Han Yu nodded and took a deep breath and slowly stepped on the stone calmly, just took a step cautiously, we suddenly felt that the stone under Han Yu's feet was sinking, and his body was also falling, seeing that the surface of his feet was about to be eroded by molten lava, fortunately, his eyes were quick and his hands were quick, and he dragged Han Yu back from the stone with the pain.

Han Yu was pulled back to the rock, and the stone connecting the altar and the rock slowly returned to its original state, Han Yu frowned and said anxiously.

"It seems that the stone is suspended above the molten lava, and it cannot carry my weight."

My weight is about the same as Han Yu's, and it is surprising that he can't go over.

"Let me do it." Yun Duruo walked up to me and said.

If I would have stopped her in normal times, how could I let her put her in danger of such a dangerous thing, but now compared to this, Yun Duruo should be much lighter than us.

"It's all around here, and if it falls, it's doomed, you can think about it." There was worry in his eyes.

"Don't worry, I'll be careful." Yun Duruo nodded confidently.

I sent her to the edge of the rock, and although she said that it was okay, I could already feel the fine sweat on Yun Duruo's palms, and I thought that it was impossible for anyone to walk on this suspended line of molten lava calmly.

Yun Duruo stepped on it slowly and carefully, I didn't let go of my hand for fear of something happening, and when she stepped on her other foot as well, we all held our breath to see her move slowly before she wanted to.

Click......

As soon as Yun Duruo took the first step, the stone sank faster than before, and what made us even more frightened was that the stone seemed to be trampled by Yun Duruo out of cracks, and clear cracks appeared on the top of the stone, and spread quickly from under her feet, as if she could not bear the weight of Yun Duruo at all, and the whole stone would collapse after standing for a while.

I hurriedly pulled Yun Duruo back from the stone, and although the passage was restored to its original state, the crack on it did not disappear.

"No, it stands to reason that Du Ruo is lighter than me, why did I step on it and only sink, but she stepped on the stone to smash it?" Han Yu muttered to himself with a blank expression.

"Let's see if I can walk through." Gu Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and walked to the front.

She should be the lightest of the five of us, the stone is already crumbling, I don't want Gu Xiaoxiao to risk her life, but now she is the last hope, I don't dare to slack off in case she has any mistakes, I really don't know how to explain to Xiao Lianshan and Gu Anqi.

"I'm protecting you." Stretched out his hand and grabbed Gu Xiaoxiao's arm.

Gu Xiaoxiao licked her dry lips and slowly stepped on the stone, we were all engrossed in watching any slight changes in the stone under her feet, she was even lighter than Yun Duruo, originally thought that Gu Xiaoxiao could go farther, who knew that she had just taken a step, and the stone sank faster, at the same time, we heard a clear cracking sound again, the cracks on the stone became deeper and deeper, and the stone that was still intact before was suddenly covered with broken lines everywhere, and it looked like it would fall apart at any time.

Seeing this, I was taken aback and hurriedly dragged Gu Xiaoxiao back, and I saw her pale expression with a frightened expression.

I was stunned for a moment, and suddenly looked back at the crumbling stone, and the corners of my mouth quirmed.

"This one that leads to the altar is not ...... Not the weight! ”
