CHAPTER XXV
Wrapped in ice, they descended slowly in a magma-filled passage, and their hearts were unavoidably nervous because of the uncertainty of their future and their deaths.
Ten minutes passed, twenty minutes passed...... Seeing that the size of the ice was getting smaller and smaller, the magma was getting closer and closer to them, and Yi Miao's face was getting paler and paler, but the passage seemed to show no sign of ending.
Haven't you traveled well in the Kama Continent, haven't found any clues about your background, haven't really grown into a powerful thief, and have so many wishes that have not been fulfilled, but you are going to end everything here?
No! He didn't believe it! This must not be the end of his Shi Di! Shi Di calmed his mind, knowing that he had just been too anxious and almost messed up.
Just as everyone was worried about their fate, the lava beneath the ice disappeared at some point, replaced by the air they were familiar with, and the ice fell faster and faster, finally falling down at a normal speed.
Whew, finally came out of the magma channel, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
But the current situation is not much better, the ice is falling at a rapid speed, and the space below does not know how deep it is.
Wait, what's down there? It looks like it's ground! Isn't it about to hit it!
At this time, I saw Yi Miao quickly recite a spell, and the ice on their bodies was lifted in an instant, and the broom flew under Yi Miao's body, holding her body up. Ke Meng reacted immediately, the wind armor was activated immediately, he dragged Shi Di with his left hand, and he dragged Yan Sing with his right hand, Yan Sing's heart moved, and he reached out and grabbed Gu Ci's collar, and several people staggered and floated in mid-air.
Yi Miao continued to recite another incantation, and the speed of the rest of the people descending was significantly reduced, but they still couldn't stop the downward downward trend, and Yi Miao remembered the scene just now when Tammer didn't hesitate to believe her, and a dash, the broom caught Tamer.
Anna and Alpha, Beta, and Gamma had no choice but to fall straight to the ground, although the speed of descent was reduced a lot by Yi Miao's slow fall technique, but it was not injured, but it was not light.
"Ouch!" several people who fell to the ground cried out in pain.
"Cough, cough, cough, cough, cough ......" Gu Ci, who was about to be strangled and couldn't breathe, let out a violent cough.
Although the result was not so perfect, the group finally passed through the magma passage and entered the ninth layer of purgatory.
Shi Di began to observe the surroundings, it was an empty space, surrounded by magma, and only a rocky path winded through the magma, leading into the darkness in the distance. Fortunately, they fell on the rocky road when they just fell, and if they had fallen into the lava, then Anna and they would have died by now.
According to the map depiction, there is indeed only one way to go to the first level of the Nine Layers of Purgatory, and they need to follow this path to the end, where there will be an entrance to the next level.
"You take this and put it on top of the Spirit Binding Dagger. Yi Miao rested for a while, her face was a little better than before, she should have recovered some of her spiritual power, she handed Shi Di two frost elemental crystals, and explained, "According to the information I found in the library, there is a fire elemental sorcerer named Fran at the end of the first layer, who is responsible for blocking the adventurers who break into here, his fire elemental spirit skills are extremely good, we need to use the frost element that can restrain him to attack him, in order to achieve twice the result with half the effort." ”
Shi Di took the two frost elemental crystals and took down the flame elemental crystals that were originally contained on the Spirit Binding Dagger, the light of the two flame elemental crystals was already very dim, and he thought that he was close to energy exhaustion. After removing the Flame Elemental Crystal, the flames that had been lingering on the Spirit Binding Dagger disappeared in an instant. Shi Di loaded the frost elemental spar again, and two ice-blue cold qi emitted from the spar, wrapping around the blade of the dagger, making the spirit binding dagger exude a chill.
"Great!My Ice Sword originally had the spiritual power of the Frost Element, so wouldn't it be just right to restrain that Fran!" Hearing this, Anna jumped up happily and swung the one-handed sword in her hand vigorously, bringing out gusts of cold wind.
Tammer also went to the turtle's shell to find the frost elemental arrow he had prepared in advance, and put it in his quiver.
"It's just a spirit magician, can you use so much trouble!" Seeing that several people had attack weapons of the frost element, and his heavy sword was an ordinary heavy sword, Meng couldn't help but make a child's temper and muttered quietly.
"If it's outside, naturally I don't have to go through so much trouble, I can solve him alone. But if you look at the environment here, it is full of evil energy and magma, and Fran in it is many times stronger than outside, and the environment here will become a continuous source of spiritual power for him, and the power of the spiritual magic he casts here will also be magnified. Yi Miao heard Ke Meng's muttering, and opened her mouth to explain, seeing that Ke Meng still seemed to be full of indifference, Yi Miao walked in front of him, half-squatted down, looked directly into Ke Meng's eyes and added.
"Ke Meng, don't you want to become stronger? Then you should remember that the first step to becoming stronger is not to underestimate the enemy. ”
Ke Meng nodded as if she didn't understand, and lowered her head to think.
Shi Di suddenly remembered a very important thing--huh? Didn't he have an invisible cloak? As long as he put on the cloak, he would unknowingly touch Fran's side and attack him!
"I advise you to dispel the idea of sneak attack, in order to block the coming, Fran has arranged three walls of flame on the way to get close to him, without the frost shield body, it is impossible to pass through there, and once you have spiritual magic attached to your body, whether it is invisible or not, he can recognize the aura of spiritual magic with the basic quality of a spiritual magician, and at that time, it will be the same in his eyes whether you wear a cloak or not. Before he could speak, Yi Miao reminded as if he had seen through his thoughts.
"Alas, I thought I could save a lot of effort with this cloak, but it seems that I can only attack honestly head-on. Shi Di couldn't help but be a little disappointed when he heard that it was impossible to sneak attack Fran.
"What are you waiting for, let's go quickly, and see how Miss Ben will use the Ice Sword to clean up that Fran later!" Anna finally got her wish and entered the ninth layer of purgatory, and she was so excited from just now that she couldn't wait to urge everyone.
The group began to move and walked along the rocky road, not encountering any enemies along the way, and it seemed that this Fran was really quite conceited, and thought that he was enough to resist it alone.
I don't know how long they walked, but the surrounding situation was still the same as what they saw when they first entered, and everyone felt a little tired of sight, at this time, a raging fire appeared in front of them from a height to the top, and it seemed that this was the first wall of flames.
It took some more time for the group to recast the frost shield, and a few minutes later, the pale blue light shield reappeared on the group.
"The wall of flames under Fran is no better than the ordinary flames outside, and even if I bless you with a frost shield to ensure that you are not harmed, it will still be a little difficult to pass through the wall of flames. And these three walls of flame are more powerful than the other, which means that you will be more and more difficult to endure. Yi Miao said.
The crowd nodded, and tentatively walked inside the wall of fire.
The first wall of fire, everyone only felt that the heat was unbearable during the time they passed, and the sweat kept pouring out, soaking their clothes, and the taste was indeed unpleasant.
The second wall of fire, everyone felt as if the flames were burning near the skin, and the whole body was full of burning pain, and the pain was almost impossible to take a step.
Finally passed through the second wall of fire, and everyone gasped loudly as if they had collapsed.
This is a little difficult, it can simply kill people! This level of pain is only the second wall of fire, so what will the third wall of fire be? Shi Di thought to himself.
After resting for a while, the group recovered and continued walking, and soon a third wall of fire appeared in front of them.
Shi Di tentatively touched the wall of fire, and immediately retreated, only to feel that it felt like a flame burning directly on them, a kind of indescribable pain of burning their bodies!
This is not a pain that the physical body can bear at all, and I am afraid that before I can pass through this wall of fire, someone will fall inside because I can't bear it.
"I will find a way to strengthen the shields on everyone's body with this wall of fire, so everyone must endure the pain and run through the wall of fire quickly. With that, Yi Miao raised his staff and began to strengthen the frost shield.
"Yi Miao, don't force it, this will consume you too much!" Gu Ci, who is also a spirit magician, knew that it was not easy for Yi Miao to maintain ten frost shields at the same time, and now she actually had to forcibly urge the spirit magic to enhance the effect of the shield, which was a very draining thing for her, so she couldn't help but stop it.
At this time, Yi Miao had already finished reciting the incantation, and her face turned pale again when she was weak, and she glanced at Gu Ci lightly and said, "It's okay." "
"Since the consumption of Yi Miao is very large, then let's not delay, let's go!" Shi Di saw that Yi Miao had obviously become weak, and couldn't help but be a little worried, and rushed into the wall of fire first.
The rest of the people also followed Shi Di.
Shi Di only felt that the pain of this contact with this third wall of fire was indeed not as strong as when he tried it before, but it was still much stronger than the pain brought to him by the second wall of fire, he looked around at his companions, and found that everyone was gritting their teeth and persevering. Even Anna, who he thought must have suffered nothing, held back the tears in her eyes and ran forward without hesitation, not slowing down her pace because of the great pain.
Finally, everyone passed through the third wall of fire, and suddenly collapsed to the ground, afraid that they did not even have the strength to speak.
At this moment, they truly realized why this place was called the Nine-Layer Purgatory, and the challenge had just begun.
Easter Egg Theatre:
Anna: What? You ask me why I can endure the pain of being burned by the fire? At that time, I remembered the QSY senior, I looked down at the red scarf on my chest, and I thought it was more vivid!
Spectator:...... Good bye.
