The tip of China's nose moved, and he smelled some blood, which was still fresh, and saw a few drops of blood on the ground. Some drip at the entrance to the apse, and more. Some drip on the steps, less.

From the trajectory of the bloodstains, Chi Na roughly judged that the last wave of people should have gone to the apse first, and most of these people were injured near the apse, and then turned to the second floor. As long as Chena walks along the trail of blood, the trap will not be triggered.

After all, ice control and phantom consume demonic power, and it does not use ice control on the apse in line with the principle of not making a move if it can. Instead, he withdrew the phantom and followed the bloodstain and quietly walked towards the apse. Just as it reached the stairwell, it found another fork in the road. Straight up to the apse, there is a sealed door under the stairwell, which appears to lead to the basement.

China's instincts told it that there was danger in the basement. He didn't touch the door for a while, and went straight into the apse.

The apse is about five or six zhang in size, and it is empty, and there is not even a single furnishing.

I couldn't help but wonder in my heart, and I thought in my heart: What the hell is this, completely artificially created, I'm afraid it's not a secret realm, like an ancient tomb or a ruin. Human beings have the custom of accompanying burials, but there is nothing in the front hall and apse, and it does not look like an ancient tomb. If it's a ruin, I don't think it's like it, the ruins are a special space opened up by the strong, but there is nothing special here. Could it be someone's mansion? What exactly is it for? Tsk, it's really troublesome, I can't manage it so much, the top priority is to find a way out first, maybe there is a door in the apse, and I will go around the apse.

So, China collected his thoughts, explored the apse, and found that there was a side hall on the left and right, and a back door at the back, and he was overjoyed.

Cast a phantom to bypass the trap. With a slight turn of the valve, trying not to make a sound, she opened the door a crack, and the phantom slipped out. The China itself was left at the back door.

Outside the door is a passage that leads to the other side of the long river of flames. Once the Phantom has explored beyond the back door, it retracts the Phantom.

Finding a way out, Chi Na felt a lot more at ease, thinking that it was rare to have this opportunity, since there was a way out, it was better to go and see the situation on the second floor and the basement, maybe there would be any treasures, and besides, I couldn't say when I would come again in the future, don't leave regrets.

As a result, Anna hides in the lower part of the stairwell, while the Phantom explores the situation leading to the staircase to the second floor. It found that there were also a number of mechanisms in the stairwell, but they had been broken. The phantom came to the corner of the second floor and smelled the scent of a living person. It can go here at most, and if it goes any further, it will be noticed.

After a moment's thought, he felt that he should go up and have a look. If it leaves, it will gain nothing, and it will be somewhat unwilling in its heart. I thought to myself: There is still time, I will go up and see the situation, I don't believe that there is nothing here. If there is nothing on the second floor, I am afraid there is only the basement. The basement doesn't feel good to me, and I don't know what's in it yet, but I don't have time to explore this time.

Chyna retracted the phantom, and the main body quietly walked up to the second floor. Come around the corner and peek in. I saw that the second floor was about the same size as the apse, empty inside, and there were six hanging lamps on the walls. In the center against the wall sat a middle-aged man with short red hair, dressed as a samurai, dressed in black, his face was pale, his eyes were closed, and he seemed to be injured. Beside him lay a young woman, also dressed as a samurai, with long fiery red hair, like a gossamer.

Wanting to see what the two were doing, she lowered her body, intending to wait for the eruption to cover her voice and jump in.

Sure enough, before the volcano erupted again, the ground shook, and Chyna saw an opportunity to jump in and hide in a corner.

As soon as it stepped into the room, it felt that the fire element in the environment had suddenly increased more than a hundredfold. When it was outside, it didn't feel like it was full of fire elementals. It turned out that there was an advantage here, which was to provide huge fire element support for those who cultivated the fire attribute exercises.

This environment was very unfriendly to the cold constitution of China, which frowned slightly, and wanted to withdraw, but was suddenly attracted by a pinch of ash on the ground.

This pinch of ash exudes a faint red glow, and it suddenly occurred to Chi Na that the Zen master asked it to find volcanic ash from 10,000 years ago. But there is a premise, the ash must have absorbed the elements of fire.

It remembered the handful of ash in its stomach, and there was no red glow.

secretly screamed that it was dangerous, and said in his heart: I almost missed the major event of the Zen master, if I hadn't hit it by mistake, I was afraid that I would have missed it! Presumably, this is the volcanic ash that has absorbed the fire element, but I don't know how old it is. I'll take it back with me and let the Zen master discern it for himself.

At this moment, China intuitively felt danger, and hurriedly raised his head, only to see the middle-aged man holding a plate axe in his hand, staring coldly in his direction.

China held her breath and exclaimed in her heart: exposed? How did he find me?

The middle-aged man snorted coldly: "What person? Get out! ”

Seeing that he was discovered, China did not show his form. In this case, it's better to keep it mysterious.

Chi Na knew that the middle-aged man was injured, but he didn't know what the middle-aged man's strength was, so he didn't dare to make a rash move, and it hid in the shadows, and the middle-aged man didn't act rashly.

The ash was nearby, and China swallowed it first. As soon as the ash entered its stomach, it felt a warm current throughout its body, and it felt that its surroundings were not so unfriendly.

Surprised in its heart, it silently used its demonic power to separate a part of the volcanic ash for itself to absorb.

Seeing the volcanic ash disappear, the middle-aged man frowned slightly. He also knows the value of volcanic ash, which can change people's physique and enhance fire resistance. But instead of snatching it, he pulled the woman behind him.

The woman woke up and said weakly, "Dad, what's going on?" ”

"I don't know who broke in." The man said.

The woman reluctantly sat up, glanced back and forth, left and right, saw no one, and asked quietly, "Huh?" Friend or foe? ”

The middle-aged man shook his head and said in a low voice, "I don't know." He wouldn't reveal his identity, but he had been in for some time, and he had only taken the ash without attacking us. I guess he probably didn't mean it, it didn't look like he was here for revenge. ”

The woman said, "Dad, what should we do then?" ”

The middle-aged man said in a low voice: "Don't panic, there is a father." ”

He said in a low voice again, and said in the direction of China: "This friend, I am Herong of the world, and I have come here to practice, and I dare to ask Your Excellency's honorable name, why did you come from?" ”

China wanted to answer him, and some questions he wanted to ask him, but he couldn't speak, so he had to remain silent.

Seeing that no one answered, He Rong felt a little uneasy in his heart, and said, "Since Your Excellency refuses to show up or speak, listen to me." ”

"As you can see, we're not the first people to come here. If you come here for a treasure hunt, I'm afraid you will be disappointed. There may have been some treasures here before, but they have long since been looted by others. The volcanic ash you took earlier, which I gathered from this room, is a treasure. If you're looking for some treasures, there's probably a basement, with an entrance in the stairwell on the first floor, restricted by seals. Your Excellency, please move into the basement, and we father and daughter will not stop you. ”

When he saw that he still didn't speak, he said no more and continued to stare coldly in China's direction.

Seeing that he was no longer talking, he waited for a moment and then slowly retreated. I thought to myself: these two people are hiding here, they should not have been here for long, they have been wounded, if they are injured outside, there should be people searching for their traces outside, but I have not seen any other people along the way. They must have been wounded since they came here, and most of them were in the basement, and the blood stains in the apse downstairs were probably left by the two of them injured there. This man tried to trick me in, and when I was struggling in the basement, he stepped up and took the profits. Hmph, cunning human.

Thinking of this, China no longer stayed, intending to leave.

As she passed the sealed door, she paused and examined the seal on the door.

I saw a fiery red streamer on the door, looming.

I thought to myself: If I guessed wrong, then they haven't been in the basement yet, why are they hurt? Who is the one who left the bloodstains? If I had guessed correctly, they had been in the basement, and the seal must have been set by their father and daughter, and they were trying to trick me into coming here, and if they repaired the seal when I got in, I would be locked up and delayed for more hours. There are so many suspicions here, if I had a person, I could deal with them, but right now, I can't know any more information. For the sake of today, it is better to give up the basement for the time being, and go back and ask the Zen master before making plans.

China looked up at the second floor and saw that no one had come down. There is not much time left, and I don't know where the wind is outside, so if it's not a good wind, I'll have to run over. So it abandoned the basement and left the unknown palace.

China came out of the back door of the nameless palace, the back door was closed, and there was no open mechanism around it, indicating that the back door was not allowed to enter.

In front of China's eyes was a hand-dug passage. It walked to the exit of the passage and looked down, only to see the long river of flames five or six feet below its feet. Now the volcano has just finished erupting, and the lava that hasn't been spewed out is still slowly flowing down.

Since China absorbed some of the energy of the volcanic ash, it was no longer as bored as when it first entered the volcano, and it was not as afraid as it was before when it watched the magma surging under its feet. The mood is comfortable, and the secret road is not in vain.

Chi Na jumped down and landed on the bank of the river of fire. Suddenly, the earth began to shake, and a strong wind swept in flames. Rao is China absorbed the spiritual power of the volcanic ash, and at this time he couldn't help but be frightened, so he hurriedly protected himself with ice, and then walked upstream along the long river of flames, as long as he followed this river, he could find the crater.

Suddenly, the volcano shook, and the rocks that fell from it hurt so much. A short time after climbing, a large pile of dust poured down from above, burying it inside. At the same time, the long river of flames sparked wave after wave, and the lava boiled, as if fiery snakes were dancing wildly, and surrounded China.

As soon as China crawled out of the dust, a wave of fire swept in. The river of flames no longer flowed downward, but rose to the sky. Chena summoned a wall of ice to block it from below, but it was too hot for the wall to last. Thankfully, the lava cooled down dramatically as it hit the ice wall. But while the volcano is still erupting, the lava is endless, and the lava under the ice wall is accumulating more and more, and finally the ice wall cannot support it, which will inevitably bring more impact.
