Chapter 337: The Burning River
When Yao Chongzhong returned to the stone pillar, Jiang Xiaoyu and the others had been waiting for him for almost an hour; seeing that he had returned safely, their hanging hearts were relaxed; releasing a lively atmosphere, they all stepped forward to ask him what they had seen and heard on the road.

After taking a breath, Yao Chongzhong opened the conversation box and told Jiang Xiaoyu and the others all the big stone mountains and chain bridges they saw, they were all surprised when they heard it, since the big stone mountain is the residence of the monsters, why don't they stay there?
The only possibility is that all the monsters have gone to the burning river.
The battle was coming, Yao Chongzhong led everyone to regroup a little, and then continued to walk under the stone pillar.
After walking for about thirty zhang, Yao Chongzhong and the others came across another iron door, which was exactly the same shape and about the same size compared to the one above.
Could it be another empty nest of monsters? Yao Chongzhong was very cautious, he stood in front of the iron gate and guarded, and asked the sandworm soldiers to open the door.
After the iron door was opened, there was a stone path inside, and there were no monsters or sharp arrows.
Yao Chongzhong walked across the stone road and came to a chain bridge, he stood for a moment, and a thought arose in his heart, calling the fire dragon to a height of more than ten zhang, and then looking up; he saw that there were big stone mountains floating in the air, and the chain bridges connected the big stone mountains.
It's almost the same as the upper floor. Yao Chong recited the incantation, and the fire dragon flew into the distance, and this time he still saw large stone mountains floating in the air, and iron chain bridges connecting large stone mountains.
Standing at the end of the stone road, this layer is completely a copy of the previous layer, so that it will make Yao Chongzhong have the illusion that he is back in place.
Yao Chongzhong carefully observed, and he noticed that the difference between the upper and lower floors was still relatively large, on the one hand, the location of the big stone mountain is different, and the connection method of the chain bridge is also different, on the other hand, the number of big stone mountains is also different, there are 35 on it, and there are 36 on this floor.
After returning to the stone pillar, Yao Chongzhong briefly told Jiang Xiaoyu and the others what he had seen, and continued to lead them down.
This time, Yao Chongzhong and the others were deeply shocked by the scene inside the stone pillars, because they saw a full sixteen iron gates, with sixteen stone roads, sixteen layers of big stone mountains, and sixteen layers of iron chain bridges.
There are many and few big stone mountains in each layer of iron gates, there are more than 50 more, and there are only three less.
In the last few floors, the layout of the interior has also changed a lot, the large stone slabs are gone, and the small stone houses are replaced, stacked in the belly of the big stone mountain.
After walking through the eighteen iron gates, and then going down a distance of more than 100 zhang, Yao Chongzhong and the others finally arrived at the bottom of the stone pillar.
A full of caves, at the base of steaming stone pillars. Of all the caves, one cave is larger and has a square circumference, and although the others are large and small, they are much smaller than the big caves, and the second largest is only five feet in size.
There was silence at the entrance of the cave, Yao Chongzhong and the others did not have half a word of verbal communication, even the black loach, which usually has a mouth, is also closed with a long mouth at this time, and the atmosphere does not dare to take a mouthful.
The four kings and their soldiers came in a mixed mood, and their excitement was mixed with a lot of uneasiness, and they opened their eyes wide and stared closely at the depths of the cave, because there were their brothers there, and they did not know whether they would live or die.
Yao Chongzhong's expression was very calm, and he felt a sense of relief in his heart, which was a very strange feeling, and he himself was a little puzzled, after all, they were in a very dangerous place, not a fun place.
After sorting out his thoughts, Yao Chongzhong took a long breath and immediately took a breath, and after a brief exchange with Jiang Xiaoyu and the others, he took them into the big cave and embarked on an adventurous journey.
The inside of the big cave was as hot as the hollows of the crater, with sparks and flames everywhere, but fortunately, the sandworms brought enough ice crystals to avoid the fate of everyone being steamed.
The good news is that the cave is not too long, and there are no monsters in ambush, so Yao Chongzhong and the others walked safely along the way.
The monsters did not ambush in the cave, but it was a very rare thing, Yao Chongzhong pondered about it all the way, but he didn't understand it until he walked out of the cave and came to a black stone bridge.
The stone bridge is only four or five zhang wide, but it is very long, more than fifty zhang long, and it stands straight on top of a deep ditch, and inside the deep ditch is tumbling red magma.
A burst of "whirring" sounds came from the deep ditch, and after each sound, a hundred feet of flames would rise.
Raging flames poured out of the deep ravine, setting off a gorgeous scene.
However, Yao Chongzhong and the others didn't have the heart to look at those beautiful scenes, and their eyes were all focused on the ten-zhang high place above the deep ditch. There were rows full of black boxes, each of which was close to each other, from one end of the deep ditch to the other.
Each lower box was the size of a zhang square, and a thick black iron cable was pulled on it, and the iron cable was attached to the top of the rock dozens of zhang high.
The other end of the rope was not attached to the top of the rock, but to a large black pillar on the ground on the other side of the ravine.
Next to each black pillar, there is a group of monsters holding weapons, these monsters look different in length and size, with horns and no horns, and the appearance of the weapons in their hands is also different.
On the edge of the deep ditch in front of the monsters, every ten zhang distance, many projects were built, some were stone platforms, some were stone pools, some were stone ladders, and some other strange-shaped stone tools.
On the stone platform were scattered weapons and some uniquely shaped objects, some of which were dark red, as if they had just been built and had not yet had time to be cleaned up.
Next to the stone platform is a stone pond, which is filled with fiery red magma with some stone scoops and stone buckets floating on it.
Next to the stone pond is a stone ladder that leads deep into a deep ravine, which is narrow and steep.
There was no new movement on the other side of the deep ditch, and they didn't seem to care about the arrival of Yao Chongzhong and the others.
The situation is very wrong, looking at the appearance of the monsters, it is completely like waiting for them here for a long time, Yao Chongzhong frowned, and swept around with sharp eyes. He gestured as he watched, motioning for everyone to be prepared.
Time continued to pass away, and the sound of "crackling" sounded intermittently in the vast space, which was from the bursting of sparks.
The scorching air was raging everywhere, and the white mist on Yao Chongzhong and the others was fluttering, as if they were standing in the clouds, but the monsters were clear and clear, without any white mist.
It's really a strange thing, maybe the monsters have been roasted into jerky by the heat wave? Jiang Xiaoyu had a strange thought in his heart.
Soon, Jiang Xiaoyu smacked his lips and vetoed his ridiculous idea, all monsters will not die so easily, not to mention that at this juncture, it is not too early or late, it is not the time to die.
After a moment of trance, the King of the Golden Armor Humpback Worm was a little puzzled, but he still whispered: "God, the place where we are standing now should be the old nest of monsters, the 'burning river', right?"
Yao Chongzhong replied: "Your Excellency, your lord, you are right, this is the 'burning river'. Talking is talking, his eyes are not far from the monster on the other side of the deep ditch.
The Golden Armor Humpback King's eyes became even more confused, and his voice was much quieter, more like talking to himself: "That's strange, if this is really a 'burning river', why don't you see those people of our kingdom? Where did they go?"
Yao Chongzhong raised his hand, pointed to the jet-black stone house in mid-air, and said with a smile: "Great King, your people have not gone anywhere else, they are playing in the stone house above!"
The King of the Golden Armor Humpback Worm looked confused, and muttered, "What are they running up there for? The stone house is hanging so high, if it falls, it will be terrible!" It was obviously blurred by the heat, and did not comprehend the dangerous smell contained in Yao Chongzhong's words.
Jiang Xiaoyu's brain was much more flexible, and he quickly understood the meaning of Yao Chongzhong's words, as long as the monster loosened the iron chain tied to the rock, the people of the four kingdoms would fall into the "burning river" and burn into ashes.
However, Jiang Xiaoyu did not find out the truth of the matter, Yao Chongzhong's intention was obvious, not to let the King of the Golden Armor Humpback Worm know, because once the people it knew were hung in the air as a shield, it would definitely jump like thunder, and rush to the other side regardless of it, and things would become very dangerous and tricky.
The stupid thing that adds fuel to the fire cannot be done, and the top priority at the moment is to stabilize the morale of the army and try to save people.
Victory and defeat are often in the same thought, and if you want to escape from the danger safely, you must muster 120,000 spirits.
After Yao Chongzhong whispered some instructions to everyone, he shook his spirits and stood at the front of the team.
Jiang Xiaoyu and the others followed closely and stopped making a sound.
The monsters on the other side of the river still didn't make any moves, they lined up in a row, neither noisy nor noisy, without the slightest bit of arrogance in the past.
Yao Chongzhong knew very well in his heart that there was often a huge undercurrent surging under the calm deep river, the atmosphere was about to change, and the vicious killing machine would soon come.
What Yao Chongzhong never expected was that the danger did not come from the other side, but from his own side!
After a burst of exclamation, the team was in a commotion, and Yao Chongzhong looked back to see two puffs of black smoke rising into the air, hovering over his side.
At a critical moment, there was a mole in the team, and everyone was greatly hit in their hearts, and their expressions were a little panicked, and the team was scattered.
If the army is in turmoil, the battle will be defeated, Yao Chongzhong rushed to the middle of his own team, pacified the team, and set up a defense.
The two puffs of black smoke converged into one, becoming thicker and brighter, flickering left and right, up and down, swimming around in mid-air, waiting for an opportunity to find the flaws of Yao Chongzhong's gang and launch an attack.
The array commanded by Yao Chongzhong was tightly defended, and there was no chance to take advantage of it, and the black smoke couldn't find a place to start, so it let out a strange roar and galloped towards the opposite side of the burning river.
The great enemy retreated temporarily, and the nerves of Yao Chongzhong and the others did not relax, and they knew in their hearts that when the black smoke was gone, the attack would come soon.
The strange whistle sounds familiar, what is the problem with the people? There is an atmosphere of mutual suspicion in the team, you don't trust me, and I doubt you too.
At the moment of the great enemy, the morale of the army must be stable, and the outside must be safe, Jiang Xiaoyu proposed to immediately investigate the internal traitors.
