Chapter 053: Earthfire Molten City (21)
PS: First of all, Lao Wei would like to thank the book friend "Life Wei" for his reward and reminder votes; Secondly, Lao Wei would also like to thank all the book friends for their pertinent suggestions in the book review area.
At the beginning of this chapter, Lao Wei needs to explain a few things about tarot cards.
As the book friend "Demon Dao Group Book" said, [Tarot] is a "BUG" in the early stage, as long as the protagonist ensures that he has enough "skill value", then he can almost run rampant in the "beginner" stage, which is Lao Wei's thoughtlessness!
If there is a problem, it must be solved, and it must be reasonable, so in this chapter, it will leave an introduction for the subsequent changes of [Tarot], that is, the epic ring "Tarot's Blessing" mentioned in this chapter, why does the excellent quality [Tarot Card] be transformed into an epic quality ring? Let's bury a small pit here......
In the design of the outline, it is not a coincidence that the protagonist gets the [Tarot Card], it is not a coincidence that the protagonist enters the mission scene [Earthfire Molten City], and it is not a coincidence that he was taken away by Kunpeng.
In short, the treatment of [Tarot] is indeed a bit blunt, but Lao Wei will definitely give a reasonable answer that satisfies everyone in the following article!
Thank you again for your support! The following is the main text......

Wei Zede rubbed his hand over the epic ring that had been imprinted on the finger of his left hand at some point, and on the other side, the members of the rescue team had found the "exit" in the altar.
It is a gap about two meters long, and a row of downward stone steps is faintly visible under the "wolf's eye......
"Is this the exit?"
The hope of life was in front of them, but everyone hesitated.
"Let's go! Let's go in, there's no other way anyway......"
Captain Zheng Hongzhi took the lead in entering this passage, and then the rest of the people followed.
Along this passage more than one person high, the group walked down about 300 stone steps, and then the road became smooth again.
Perhaps it was because there were too many dangers, but the inside of this passage was extremely safe, allowing everyone to move forward smoothly.
More than three hours later, the crowd was still walking in this monotonous passage.
Although the journey is boring, it is much better than encountering all kinds of dangers!
"The exit ahead!"
Zheng Hongzhi, who was at the front of the line, was the first to discover the light at the exit.
After hearing Captain Zheng's words, everyone excitedly quickened their pace, wanting to leave here as soon as possible.
"Haha, I didn't expect us to see the light of day again!"
"Not really! To be honest, I've already given up alive to get out of here, but I didn't expect the peak to turn around! β
ββ¦β¦β
In the excited chat, the group came to the end of the passage, where the "exit" was.
After everyone got used to the light outside, they were amazed by the scenery in front of them!
At the exit of the passage, where the crowd were, was on a stone platform carved out of a cliff.
As far as the eye can see, surrounded by snow-capped mountains, there is a gentle valley full of dense forests! And in the middle of this valley, there is a dead ruin of an ancient city, which stands silently......
"This is it! The end point recorded on the parchment scroll, the Lost City, should be the ruins of this ancient city in front of us! β
Liu Ru looked at the "human skin map" in her hand, she pointed to the ruins of the ancient city in the valley, and her face was excited.
"Strange?"
Captain Zheng Hongzhi asked suspiciously: "How can the country not discover such a large ancient city ruins?" If you scan it from a satellite, you should be able to find it here! β
Professor Liu explained: "Not necessarily! Behold, the shape of the mountains around here...... Isn't it like a budding bud? In the whole valley, there is only a little gap at the very top! It is also understandable that the state did not find out here. β
Liu Ru said hesitantly: "The mountains around this ...... Looks like a whole? β
"Yes! From our vantage point, this valley looks like a volcanic crater......," Li Daoyi said, pointing to the valley below.
"Hmmm! Comrade Li observed very carefully...... However, although it looks like a volcanic crater, I can be sure it is not! β
Professor Liu shook his head and retorted with a smile: "You should know that the crater looks like a crater, and in terms of shape, the crater is generally large at the top and small at the bottom, in the shape of a funnel or a bowl, and the depth of the crater will not exceed two or three hundred meters, and the diameter is also within one kilometer......"
As he spoke, Professor Liu compared the valley with his hand and said, "You see, although this valley is in the shape of a ring, the drop between it and the cliffs on both sides is far greater than 500 meters!" What's more, the topography here is small at the top and big at the bottom...... Completely inconsistent with the basic principles of crater formation! β
Professor Liu explained it in a scientific way, but Wei Zede did not think so.
"Alas, although Professor Liu is smart, his thinking has been completely limited by the word 'science'!"
Wei Zede looked around at the valley and thought to himself: "What he said is not wrong, and the analysis is also in place." However, there was one thing that he overlooked...... If this volcano suddenly stopped erupting at the moment it was about to erupt......"
At this moment, a red flare rose from the valley!
"Quick! Telescope! β
Lieutenant Du Xuyao immediately put the military binoculars hanging on his chest in front of his eyes and searched for them.
Without much effort, he pointed to a stream that crossed the valley and said, "It's Huang Bin!" There are three of them, let me see...... Well, there are two soldiers who are camping next to the creek! β
Professor Liu was overjoyed.
"Oops! It's a pity that we've run out of flares...... Otherwise, you can get in touch with them now! β
Captain Zheng Hongzhi slapped his thigh in annoyance.
"Let's go down from here now, and join them as soon as possible!"
As soon as we all put it together, we decided to immediately move closer to the direction where Huang Bin and the others were.
β¦β¦
As the saying goes: it's easier to go up than to get down!
The group clings to the cliff and descends the narrow stone steps.
In this process, everyone also passed through a plank road more than 30 centimeters wide, because one side of it was completely empty, and there was no protective equipment, so the rescue team spent a lot of energy and time here.
After passing this dangerous path with trepidation, Professor Liu sincerely admired: "The brave man walks in the sky, and his heart is relaxed; The cowardly is frightened and holds his breath! β
Li Daoyi wiped a handful of sweat and muttered, "This kind of ghost place...... When you're old, you'll feel relaxed! β
"Alright, don't waste time! Let's keep walking! β
At the urging of Liu Rudi, the group only stopped for a while, and after breathing a sigh of relief, they continued to descend the mountain.
Finally, before the sun set and the light dimmed, Wei Zede and the others reached the valley between the mountains safely.
As the last rays of the sunset faded, the "Great Xianbei Mountain" lifted the mystery on her face in front of our group of first visitors from thousands of years later.
"Wow! It's so beautiful......"
Liu Ru's eyes had turned into red hearts.
Everyone, including Wei Zede, was deeply intoxicated by the mysterious scene that appeared in front of them!
I saw countless twinkling stars in the valley and on the cliffs on both sides of the valley, just like a brilliant Milky Way sprinkled on the world!
At this time, everyone seemed to be standing in the endless starry sky, covered by this starlight in the heavens and on the earth, in all directions, and in every corner.
"This light...... This light came from a plant! Liu Ru squatted down and pointed to a "starlight" at her feet.
"Nature is truly wonderful!"
Professor Liu touched the strange plant that emitted "starlight" with his hand and said, "...... There really is a 'glowing plant'...... Fast! Girl, try to collect specimens! β
"Yes, Daddy! This is a remarkable discovery in biology......"
Liu Ru replied as she moved her hands, carefully digging up the roots of this "luminous plant" with her hands, trying to make a specimen as complete as possible.
However, after Liu Ru worked so hard, she didn't even dig the root system of this plant to the end!
"Forget it! Just cut it off from here! We don't have much time ......."
Captain Zheng raised the sapper shovel and slashed at the exposed roots of the "glowing plant"!
"Bell!!"
With the sound of metal clashing, everyone was surprised to find that the root system of this "glowing plant" had not even scratched a single bit of skin!
Zheng Hongzhi didn't believe in evil, and dug several times in a row, but it still had no effect at all.
He had no choice but to spread his hands, indicating that he had no choice.
Everyone was amazed and curious about this plant, which is incredibly hard and tough.
"Sturdy! Tse is strong...... If you can make a set of clothes out of this thing, it will be safer than body armor! β
Li Daoyi made a more appropriate judgment based on his experience, and Lieutenant Du also expressed strong agreement with his words.
Just when everyone was unprepared and discussing enthusiastically, the crisis quietly came!
"Ahh
An exclamation came from the mouth of Captain Zheng Hongzhi, and then, as if he was being dragged by something, his body disappeared into the half-human-tall grass in an instant!
