The Black Gate stopped after opening a gap for Alice to pass through. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Alice re-covered the metal box containing the heart, put away the box and walked to the black door alone. She slipped through the crack in the door, and when she passed through the black door, the great door began to close. The door closed, and the two figures on the door faded one by one, and the faces of the figures became blurred, and finally returned to their dim original appearance.

On the other side of the door, Alice was standing on a high slope. Not far behind the gate is a downhill road, different from the plains on the other side of the door, before the abyss. Behind the door is an undulating world, with hills of various sizes scattered over this vast land, and meandering rivers flowing through the land. But instead of clear water, the river overflowed with bright red magma. The surface of the magma was covered with bubbles, the heat was rising, and the smell of sulfur wafted through the air. There was a thunderclap in the sky, and in the flickering lightning, a towering mountain peak in the distance loomed in the white lightning. It was a volcano, and from time to time a pillar of fire erupted from the crater, and from the crater there were bands of red fire flowing down, which were the source of the magma rivers on the earth. The world inside the door is also desolate, and the only difference between it and the ice field outside the door is the temperature. The ice field is cold, but here, it is a world of fire!

Alice walked barefoot on the hot earth, which was filled with green smoke, and from time to time hot smoke or flames would be spewed out from a crack. However, these things did not make her frown, and Alice had a smile on her face, as if she had returned to her familiar home. She even hummed an unknown song, the melodies echoing across the fiery land and drifting into the distance.

She walked up the hills, crossed the river of fire, and it took her two days to reach the foot of the volcano. Of course, she didn't walk fast, and even deliberately slowed down, and sometimes stopped under a certain hill to ponder, as if there was a memory of her passing buried here. When she came to the foot of the volcano, she went straight to the mouth of a cave at the foot of the mountain, which looked like a path to hell. The cave was not dim, there was a constant flickering of dark red fire, and occasionally a gust of hot air blew out, which was enough to steam a person. Alice was fearless, but the terrible hot wind was as warm to her as the spring breeze in March. She even greeted it with open arms, savoring the feeling of the wind passing through her fingers.

Following the cave's winding passage, Alice enters an underground hall. There are towering stone pillars, every crack on their body is a trace of time, and the air here is full of the smell of vicissitudes, as if time in the hall is still stuck in the very distant moment. In addition to the stone pillars that supported the dome, there were clusters of bright red moss in the hall, which were like human-high balls stacked together, and a dozen of them were piled up in clusters, covering every corner of this hall. Mossy balls emitted a regular glow of dark red fire, as if they were breathing the air in the hall. From the top of the hall hung long and short vines, the same bright red vines with fiery red irregular grains. Red moss and vines, all exuding a rich energy atmosphere.

Alice walked through the hall, where the floor was also covered with irregular red moss. The moss is like a living thing, and every time Alice steps on it, its color changes. From light to darkness, then from darkness to brightness, and then the bright light spreads out, like waves in the sea. Alice walked like she was riding on a wave, and at the end of the hall the fire was blazing and the heat was boiling. After stepping barefoot up a few stone steps, Alice stood in front of a semicircular platform. Beneath the platform is a world of magma, a lake of magma, so big and wide that it is suffocating. Alice opened her arms and spoke an Ebonnesian language as if singing. The lava lake began to vibrate, and a circular platform rose from the center of the lake, and between the platform and the shore rose stone pillars, one next to the other, forming a passage to the platform in the middle of the lake. Without hesitation, Ellie jumped onto a stone pillar that had just risen from the magma lake, and there was still lava on the surface. Alice stepped into it, and immediately sizzled, and her skin was black and cracked. But when she lifted her foot again, the black skin fell off, and a new layer of skin had grown inside. The degree of regeneration is so fast that it makes people finger.

She jumped over the stone pillars like a dancing girl to the platform in the middle of the lake. In the center of the platform rises a cylinder with a diamond-shaped pattern. Alice opened the metal box with her heart open, and the silver heart opened its strange eyes again, and a golden beam of light shot out of her eyes and landed on the column. The diamond-shaped pattern on the cylinder lit up immediately, and the pillar sank until it was topped, and something cried out in the depths of the lava lake. The magma began to sink like the surface of the sea at an inverted tide. In front of the platform, the surface of the lake rises and falls, like the sea under a storm. Alice walked to the edge of the platform, stretched out her arms and shouted, tears welling up in her eyes, she was like a girl who had just returned home from a wandering place, and cried with joy when she saw her loved ones.

With a bang, a huge wave crashed towards the platform, smashing on Alice's body, surging across the platform. Alice's whole body was scorched black by the magma, and she quickly recovered. At this time, a pitch-black pillar can be seen rising in the middle of the lake. It is said to be a pillar, but it is as huge as a building, and the material of the pillar is some kind of crystal. The lava couldn't stay on it for a moment, let alone hurt the pillar. Through the translucent surface of the pillar, a shadow can be faintly seen inside. Shadows writhed from time to time, as if they were living creatures. If it's a creature, it's a giant creature that's over 100 meters tall!

After the pillar was raised, it was still half in the lava lake. At this time, the center of the column revealed a series of fire, and then the column opened in turn, like a rib. In the middle of the pillar was a fiery creature of red color. It resembles some kind of bug that has been magnified countless times over, with a smooth, reddish shell everywhere. Its head had a huge crown bone, and underneath it was a feminine face that was impeccably beautiful by human standards. But if it's more than a meter tall and placed on a bug, it's not aesthetically pleasing. At this time, the mouth of the woman's face opened, and when she finally separated up and down several times the same height as the same face, a triangular head poked out of it. There were seven or eight eyeballs on either side of the head, like the compound eyes of some kind of insect, and it opened its mouth and turned out its nest teeth with a cloudy yellow liquid in circles.

The creature stood upright in the pillar and began to walk out of it!
