Chapter Seventy-Four: The Vanishing Figure
The dim sky was covered in a thick black, and it was impossible to tell whether it was smoke or clouds.
"Click" a purple lightning, like a rapidly spreading zigzag branch, instantly filled the sky. Purple light pierced through the clouds, and under the billowing smoke, patches of volcanic ash like black snowflakes fell from the sky.
The girl rolled her eyes, glanced at the black-clothed boy twice, and asked with a concerned face, "You don't care, right?"
"Hmm". The one-word answer has always been very in line with the character of the younger brother.
Speaking of the leg injury of the young man in black, although he shed a lot of blood, it did not hurt his muscles and bones. After all, the ** of a sword cultivator is several times stronger than that of other cultivators, and a simple flesh injury is nothing to him.
The rumbling sound kept coming from all directions, making Bian Yao feel flustered and uneasy. He slowly stood up with some difficulty, and this simple act hurt him and he couldn't stop baring his teeth.
"You're in luck! I thought he was going to slap you to death, but I didn't think he was just suffering from some flesh and skin. It seems that you have been saved by this mouth of your own, and your swearing and taunting have made the man not rush to kill you!" The girl walked quickly to Bian Yao, looked at his bruised-nosed and swollen face, and smiled heartlessly.
"Do you still want to say that I owe you another life?" Bian Yao threw several spirit fruits into his mouth and replied in a half-joking tone. He didn't say a word about the giant ball of light, and although he was very curious, he also knew that there were some things that he better not ask too much.
The girl giggled when she heard his strange tone, "You were called by me to help, although it didn't help much, but I am still responsible for your life, so forget it this time!"
"It doesn't matter if it's counted or not, as long as I can get out of here alive, I don't want to be burned to death here!" Bian Yao looked up at the nearest volcano in the southwest, and suddenly found a large area of orange-red lava, flowing down the hillside, and his heart was shocked!
In any case, surrounded by four erupting volcanoes, no one had the intention of staying longer, and they prepared to leave from the valley road to the south. After consuming a few spirit fruits, the pain in Bian Yao's body had been slightly reduced, but he still couldn't hurry quickly.
Before leaving, Bian Yao gritted his teeth and walked to the one-eyed man, turned his head to the girl and asked, "Are they all dead?"
"It's not dead, it's just sleeping, but they're no different from ordinary people now, and they don't pose any threat to us!" replied with a girlish snort, and the deep resentment had not yet subsided.
Bian Yao hesitated for a moment, then raised his leg and stomped on the one-eyed man a few times, which was regarded as a reward for his cruelty and torture.
The three of them left, and did not kill the sleeping men in black, because they would not survive after the magma on the mountain flowed down. Anyway, they're all innocent bastards, and it's not an exaggeration to die.
After half a pillar of incense, just when they were only a mile away from the valley mouth, the ground suddenly shook violently. The rocks on both sides of the volcano crumbled in large chunks, and large and small rocks rolled down the hillside violently.
In the midst of a chaotic tremor and rumbling, the volcano on the west side of the valley road cracked open without warning, and the wide crack stretched rapidly from the crater to the foot of the mountain, leading to the mountain road leading to the outside of the valley. And the next moment, orange-red magma gushed out from the cracked ground, completely cutting off the way of the three of them.
"Run, go to the valley road to the east. The silent black-clothed young man suddenly shouted, and his cold face had lost its former composure. As the sky shook and the earth shook, the three of them stumbled and crawled back to evacuate, occasionally dodging the rocks rolling down the mountain.
The earthquake lasted only a short time, but after a brief tremor, the lava that erupted or overflowed from the crater sped up and flowed down the mountain. When they finally reached the valley mouth to the east, they found that the road leading to the mountain had been encroached upon by the hot dark red magma.
"Can't go!Go to the north and have a look!" Because of panic and panic, Bian Yao had forgotten the pain in his body at the moment, and only thought about escaping from here.
In the billowing smoke and dust, thunder and lightning continued, and deafening sounds echoed in the ears of the three people from time to time. They ran desperately north along the foot of the low volcano in the middle.
Most of the surfaces of the four volcanoes have been covered in orange-red, and a lot of lava has flowed to the foot of the mountains, and hot magma is spreading rapidly through the mountain paths. The trio kept avoiding the detour, but they turned out to be mad, and the valley road to the north was also paved with large lava fields.
Today, three of the four valley roads that provide quick access to the mountains have been blocked. However, when they found that the road to the west was blocked by lava, the trio had to stop. The foul smell and lightning filled the surroundings and the sky.
"Up the mountain!" the black-clad boy glanced at the low volcano, but fortunately the volcano that had erupted only a few days ago did not "make trouble".
Visibility has been reduced a lot by this time, as the large amount of volcanic ash blocks the view. The three of them climbed halfway up the mountain and went around to the west, where there was the last road leading to the outside of the mountain.
The young man in black opened the way at the front, the girl walked in the middle, and Bian Yao fell behind. The road on the mountain is very difficult to walk, not to mention steep, and there are some magma that has not yet completely condensed, so you should be very careful when walking, and the natural speed of walking is much slower than that of the mountain.
After half a pillar of incense, they were carefully climbing a steep slope when the mountain suddenly shook. Immediately after, a deafening loud bang erupted from the crater, and a red light rose into the sky, mixed with a monstrous heat wave.
This was an astonishing accident, perhaps because of the influence of the four volcanoes on the periphery, this low volcano actually erupted again!
Soon, the scorching red lava spilled desperately out of the mountain pass, and flowed down the numerous grooves on the hillside, quickly flowing in all directions. Look down the hill and see the spreading magma and terrifying chasms everywhere.
"Hurry up and run!" the girl shouted sharply as she turned around and sped forward with the black-clothed boy.
Bian Yao was climbing the steep rock, his body shook a few times in panic and failed to stand firmly, and he fell sideways and rolled down the mountain. In the chaotic chaos, the black-clothed boy and the girl didn't notice that there was no one behind them, and they just ran forward desperately.
At the foot of the hill was a raised rock block, about a foot high, that was just enough to block the falling edge and hurt his waist at the same time. Bian Yao kept opening and closing his mouth, barely holding on to the rock, and slowly stood up, suppressing the discomfort and pain in his body, and looked down the mountain, all that came into his eyes was a scorching orange-red.
"It's over!" Bian Yao shook his head and looked around, but he didn't see the two siblings, only the magma rolling down from the hillside, and he suddenly felt so small and helpless.
The slopes here are extremely steep, and now that he is injured and his legs are inconvenient, he has completely lost his chance to escape in the face of the hot lava that is pressing on him. Thinking that he had always relied on luck and others to get out of danger, he couldn't help but let out a wry smile.
Half a moment later, the girl and the boy in black saw the exit of the valley road to the west, where there was an orange-red light, and the sister and brother couldn't help but stop.
After a brief pause, the girl turned her head to look behind her, only to find that there was no one behind her, and a large gray cloud of volcanic ash blocked her view, preventing her from seeing farther.
"Dead boy, Ye kitten, dead boy!" the girl shouted loudly, but after the shouting, no response came. She stomped her foot and turned to walk back.
The black-clothed boy dodged to block her path, "Use the 'teleportation charm'! it won't be long before this place will be covered in lava." Although the young man's voice was cold, there was a bit of helplessness and sadness in his tone.
"No, I'm going to get him back, and I called him. The girl shouted stubbornly.
"It's too late, even if you can find it, it's useless! The young man said coldly, and at the same time, a long strip of rune paper appeared in his hand, and the surface exuded bursts of dazzling white light.
The lava flowing from the mountain pass quickly enveloped it, getting closer and closer, and the smoky heat steamed in the air.
The girl's eyes were red, and she took one last look at the way she came, and her face showed a resolute look. As soon as her left hand was raised, there was an extra piece of rune paper in her palm that was the same as that held by the black-clothed young man, and she quickly closed her palms and sandwiched the rune paper that exuded white glow in her palm.
In an instant, a white light spread out from her palm, instantly enveloping the girl's whole body. In the blink of an eye, the white mangs disappeared, and the place was empty.
After the black-clothed boy saw the girl disappear, he quickly made the same move, and with a flash of white light, he also disappeared.
Bian Yao stood half-bent over, seeing that all the roads around him were surrounded by lava, and there was no way to escape. Beads of sweat kept oozing down his forehead and then dripping.
"Do I really want to die here! Just be burned to death by these lava to death!" Bian Yao imagined himself struggling in the hot magma, and his face couldn't help but show a look of horror, and the approaching red magma looked even more terrifying.
"Xiao Yin would be very sad if he knew that I was dead, right? What I promised to help the old ghost has not yet begun, and I am going to die. Bian Yao couldn't feel the pain in his body anymore, he sat down weakly against the rock, and the face of He Qingyan appeared in his mind, as well as the somewhat scary grimace of the night corpse. Fear, sadness, and despair intertwined in his face.
A thunderclap suddenly sounded overhead, and a network of purple lightning suddenly opened up in the dark sky, and then disappeared in an instant.
Bian Yao's eyes widened suddenly! The corners of his mouth gradually raised, and hope and joy ignited on his face, driving away the gloom. It occurred to him that as long as it went well, he should be able to save his life.
The red magma is not far from him, and the temperature in the surrounding air is constantly rising, and the time has become very urgent and cannot be delayed.
Bian Yao sat cross-legged and closed his eyes tightly, but after dozens of breaths, he still couldn't sleep. Too flustered and nervous, so that the mind and mind can't calm down, so I can't go into a state of sleep at all.
The scorching magma is like a carpet of fire leading to hell, flowing and spreading out unhurriedly, welcoming mortals to the realm of death.
It's close, three, two, and one......
"This is the last and only chance! If you can't enter the dream realm, if you can't make your body disappear smoothly, you will be buried in the scorching lava!" Bian Yao raised his right hand sharply and slapped himself hard, he wanted to calm himself down as soon as possible.
Close your eyes, breathe, dispel all distractions, and try to get your brain into that empty space.
When the magma was less than half a foot away from Bian Yao, Bian Yao's breathing became even, and his complexion tended to be calm.
"Hidden, hidden, hidden......" In the dark dream, Bian Yao's consciousness was attached to the body, sending out one thought after another, strong and persistent!
The red Grim Reaper, with the breath of death, swept in from all directions.
One foot, half a foot, one inch...... The vision has finally happened!
On the surface of Bian Yao's body, a layer of mysterious black suddenly appeared, like mist, enveloping his whole body in the blink of an eye, and then seeping into his body. Looking at Bian Yao, who was sitting cross-legged, his body suddenly became blurred, and it quickly faded......
The lava eventually flowed through the place where the border sat down, converging with the red coming from all sides.
However, in the silence, Bian Yao's figure has disappeared.
