Chapter 19: Lotus Picking in the Sea of Fire
"Squeak"
At this moment, another roar sounded at the fork in the road. Then, a stream of red turbidity erupted from the fork, and a high-frequency tremor was felt underground.
"Be careful"
Luo Chen grabbed Mu Ling'er's waist and took a step back. At the same moment, a golden light swept through the red turbid air, and rushed straight towards the front door of the two.
"Hmph, look for death. ”
Luo Chen shook his fist and hit it twice, and then he recognized the face of the comer.
A huge three-star golden retriever rat, about seven feet long, eyes as big as fists, black and yellow front teeth, a smoky smell between breaths, and a strong sulfur smell on the golden-gray fur.
"Squeak"
The golden retriever let out a high-pitched roar from the ground. After that, the cave was crawling with 'little mice' more than three feet long.
"This.... This is special, Lao Tzu's dense phobia...."
This group of dense, wriggling, and smelly mice, not to mention Mu Ling'er, a 'delicate' little girl, Luo Chen's scalp was also numb for a while.
"Spirit... Ling'er, let's go. ”
", a bunch of little mice, you see. ”
Mu Ling'er stuffed a meat lingzhi into Luo Chen's mouth, and then strode forward and shouted, "Little mouse, your end has come." With that, she crumpled the broken intestines and scattered them.
However, the golden retriever scoffed and pounced on his paws again.
"Nerd, help me. ”
"Hmph, evil beast, you are looking for death. ”
Luo Chen stepped in front of her one step earlier, drawing his gun and sweeping. Not to mention that the 'African brother' wields a nine-foot pure gold spear, such a weird painting style is not too spicy to the eyes.
"Click"
The three-star rat king, it has swallowed the earth fire for many years, and it is superior in terms of physique and combat power. However, after more than a dozen rounds, the poison of the Broken Intestine Grass attacked, and Luo Chen took the opportunity to pierce it with one shot.
At this point, the remaining 'little mice' have already died layer after layer.
......
The heat is a very uncomfortable thing, if you add a lingering stench of hydrogen sulfide. Such an environment must be tormenting.
Thankfully, I didn't see a single annoying fire-eating rat on the back road.
After entering the fork for more than a mile, the two finally approached the crater.
"Whew, specially, nearly 60 degrees of air, Lao Tzu is about to suffocate. ”
"Idiot, your cultivation is too low, or..."
"You're a little girl, and you're not much better than me. ”
High temperature, lack of oxygen, the physical strength of the two is close to freezing. However, as a man, how could Luo Chen say that he couldn't bear it in front of a 'little woman'.
"Ling'er, you take a break first. I'll go down and find out. ”
Luo Chen looked for a downwind outlet, and after placing Mu Ling'er in place, he walked quickly towards the entrance of the cave.
Not long after, a large underground karst cave appeared. More than 30 zhang high, covers an area of nearly 200 square meters, a magma lake of tens of zhang size in the cave. Directly above the magma was covered with a translucent barrier about nine zhang in size, and a red flame within the barrier supported a dark red fire lotus up and down.
"It's... Ahem, it's spectacular. ”
"Ah, it's...."
Outside the cave, Mu Ling'er looked surprised and said, "Feng Yan, it's Feng Yan." I... It... That legend is true, there is a phoenix in the wilderness. ”
"Ling'er, you're not mistaken. ”
"No, you can't be wrong. ”
At this time, Mu Ling'er was short of breath, her pretty face flushed, and she said: "The cave is filled with a pure breath of benevolence and rationality, it must be a phoenix flame." With that, she took out four things from the ring.
Crystal boots, tulle coats, red beads, wooden baskets.
"Haha, the emperor lives up to his wishes. Mu Ling'er smiled proudly, put on her gauze clothes and rushed into the magma.
"Uncle, you can't find death. Luo Chen broke out in a cold sweat, this is magma, not a lump of soaring. With you, a weak woman rushing in, it's too comfortable to be a living person, isn't it?
"You.... Stinky nerd, what are you dragging me for? ”
Mu Ling'er turned her head and said, "Ah, what kind of magma is Miss Ben's equipment afraid of." Xuantian clothes, fire beads, sycamore baskets, Xuanbing boots, which object is afraid of fire. Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed. ”
"I owe you a big head, I owe you in my last life. ”
Hearing this, Luo Chen had the urge to slap her to death. But after raising his hand, under someone's aggrieved little eyes, what kind of temper is all nonsense.
"You sit down, Lao Tzu will come when he goes. ”
"What... What"
Luo Chen snatched four 'fire-repelling artifacts' from her hands, and after leaving a very gentleman's words, he rushed into the sea of fire without looking back.
"Idiot, you big badass. ”
“.. You.... You're mad at me..."
The moment before stepping into the magma, Luo Chen's heart rose to his throat. But in the next moment, the flame bead emitted a white glow, forming a layer of light on his body. There was an extra layer of frost on Xuantian's clothes, and a cold air surged inside Xuantian's boots. Wherever the cold passes, the magma freezes and the heat waves turn into fog.
Such a magical scene made Luo Chen have to marvel at the creator's miraculous workmanship.
Crossing the barrier, a scorching baking sensation almost suffocated Luo Chen. Although he held three 'Fire Fighting Artifacts', the Xuantian clothes and Xuanbing Boots that had been in the phoenix flames for a long time showed a hint of dissolving.
"Feng Yan, worthy of the name. Luo Chen was secretly startled, and couldn't help but walk quickly towards the fire lotus.
At this moment, there was a boiling in the rock lake, and a white skeleton of nine feet and nine sizes emerged from the magma. Suddenly, the flames surged, and an even hotter wave of air pressed down.
"Goo"
Seeing this, Luo Chen's pupils constricted, his throat was bitter, and he had the urge to turn his head and run away. But the next scene was even more terrifying, a trace of blasphemy flashed in his mind inexplicably, and his legs walked towards the phoenix bone uncontrollably.
"What's wrong with Lao Tzu. ”
“.. Stop, uncle, you stop Lao Tzu...."
At the same moment, a large dark aura gushed out of Luo Chen's heart, his pupils dilated until his eyes were pure black, and a black streak appeared behind the root of his ear, which quickly spread to his whole body.
"Ahh
In less than a moment of mutation, Luo Chen seemed to have experienced a century of pain. On the other side, a burst of white light appeared on the phoenix bone, and in a few breaths, there was a dim phoenix soul in the flames.
"Hmph, Demon Seed. ”
Feng Soul drank coldly, but looked up and down a few more times, and questioned: "No, the Demon Dao is one, who is so generous." In this way, wouldn't it be more interesting for the deity to intervene as well. With that, a wisp of phoenix flame drilled into his head.
"Specially, let Lao Tzu die. ”
At this time, Luo Chen had the idea of dying. The pain that life was worse than death made him feel desperate. Like a pot of hot oil poured over his head, no, to be precise, like a pot of hot oil poured down from his uncovered skull, and burned him to death before it was slammed.
"Boy, if you don't die within ten breaths, the deity will give you creation. ”
One, two.... Five.... Ten... Twenty.... Thirty.... Finally, at a certain moment, Luo Chen fainted.
"Well, that's good. ”
Seeing this, Feng Soul nodded slightly satisfied, and said: "With such willpower, it does not disgrace a drop of blood of the deity." With that, it let out a long roar.
A drop of red gold blood floated out of the wind bones and seeped into it from the center of Luo Chen's eyebrows.
Outside the fire, after hearing the phoenix song, Mu Ling'er sat down on the ground in a gloomy manner, hugging her head and crying.
“.. Phoenix... The phoenix soul is not extinguished...."
"Idiot, I'm sorry I hurt you.... Blame me...."
“.. Whining.... I'm sorry I was too selfish..."
From waking up to the present, Mu Linger doesn't know why she trusts a strange man so much. Maybe it's because of a bowl of hot porridge, maybe it's because of a bloody bamboo tube.
Every time she saw his smiling face, her wound didn't hurt too much. When she listens to him tell bad jokes, no matter how bad her mood is, she will laugh out loud.
But for some reason, every time she saw his smiling face, she always had the idea of bullying him.
Of course, for some reason, she finally understood all this in this moment. Someone has long been inseparable from him, and someone has long regarded this big boy who loves to be in a daze as a shoulder to rely on.
"Idiot, this time I'll listen to you, sit down obediently, and don't move. ”
“.. No.... I don't move, I'll wait for you to come out...."
Half an hour later, the sea of fire was still hot, but he couldn't see him come out of it. Mu Linger was desperate, but she kept persuading herself that he was still alive.
As she thought, Luo Chen was not dead.
In the sea of fire, Luo Chen's body had already changed back to its original state. The pupils were distinct, the black lines disappeared, but the clothes on his body were burned into rags, and his hair was also burned bald.
"Hmm"
At a certain moment, Luo Chen sat up violently as if he had been electrocuted.
"Damn, I'm not dead. ”
"Hey, Lao Tzu has broken through. ”
The first thing after opening his eyes, Luo Chen was glad that he was not dead, and he also found that he had inexplicably broken through the Bone Casting Realm as soon as he opened his eyes, and his mother had broken through to the second layer of Bone Casting at one time.
"It's so hot, I can't stay in this place for long. ”
There were only a few rags hanging on Luo Chen's body, and the 'Fire Fighting Artifact' was only left with Fire Fighting Beads and Xuan Ice Boots. In this way, he quickly picked the fire lotus, and then ran out quickly.
"Nerd, I.... What should I do....."
“... Right... I'm sorry I hurt you...."
Luo Chen heard Mu Ling'er's cry from afar, and was in a hurry, stepped out in three or two steps, and asked, "Xiao Nizi, what's wrong with you, where is the fire?" ”
“.. I... You...."
Mu Ling'er was stunned for a moment, couldn't help but laugh, and said, "Stinky nerd, aren't you dead, why are you still coming out." You liar, I'll kill you. With that, she hugged Luo Chen and cried loudly on his shoulder.
"Little Nizi, it's not good to blame me, it's worried about you. ”
Hearing this, Luo Chen understood that this little girl must have frightened her actions just now, and said, "Hey, isn't this okay." You see, I accidentally broke through the bone, what a good thing. ”
"Why bite me again, you belong to a dog. ”
"Idiot, you remember it for me. From now on, with my permission, you will not be allowed to die. ”
"Hey, the master is a Xiao Qiang who can't be killed, so he won't...."
“... Remember, remember, don't cry. ”
