Chapter 312: The Third Layer
Half an hour later, Wuqi and his party walked slowly on the mountain road more than 100 meters high, and finally came to the end of the mountain road. "It's finally here. Wuqi said with difficulty, his face was very pale at this time, and it was Rod who carried him all the way, so that he could come here with the team.
Otherwise, with Wuqi's condition at this time, it is impossible to have extra physical strength to rush again, let alone climb the mountain more laboriously than to hurry. Although there are relatively easy mountain roads, the slope angle of the mountain road is very steep, and it is very difficult to climb more than 100 meters in one go.
Even Nakolulu, who was in much better condition than Wuqi at this time, felt very struggling, and Julia was panting like a cow, completely missing the appearance of a princess.
"Yes. Rod nodded, and McCarthy behind him immediately looked at Wuqi with concern, and said with a smile: "Little brother, are you better?"
McCarthy still had a deep look of gratitude in his eyes, he was able to get out of danger, it was completely the credit of Wuqi and the other team members, if it weren't for this, he would not be able to stand here at this moment, so he was sincerely grateful to Wuqi and Balk and others, especially Rod.
But seeing that Wuqi was exhausted and his face was as pale as snow after rescuing himself, he still couldn't help but feel a little guilty in his heart, so he never dared to forget his previous life-saving grace, and expressed his concern for Wuqi all the time, Rod also thought so, but he was not good at speaking.
The third floor, like the second floor, is still a huge circular platform, but it is not as large as the space of the second floor, only about half the size of the second floor, and it doesn't take long for everyone to successfully find the mountain path to the higher level after stepping into the third floor.
"The mountain road is just ahead, and this level doesn't seem to be dangerous. Let's get over there. Nakolulu excitedly pointed to an obvious mountain path ahead and said with a smile.
"Yes. Hughes nodded hurriedly, but Balk didn't dare to be careless, he subconsciously looked around, looked up at the wall that didn't enter the clouds, and said cautiously: "You can't be negligent." Be careful, release all your breath, be wary of the white mist that you can't see from above, and don't let that happen to the second layer again. One more time, it would have cost us all our lives. ”
"Understood. McCarthy agreed with Balke's words very much, and he knew the horror of the second layer of danger firsthand, so he nodded without hesitation, and was the first to release his breath, spreading the breath to a range of more than a hundred meters or so above his head, and cautiously moving forward.
Julia also nodded, and Naco Lulu, Rod, Charlie Ren and others also nodded, and followed one after another.
The area of the platform is not large, and everyone has only walked for five or six minutes before they have reached the center of the platform, and there is still half the distance left. At this moment, it only takes the same amount of time to easily reach the destination, if everyone exerts all their body energy to advance, the speed is faster, it hardly takes long, and they can reach the mountain road within twenty or thirty seconds.
But no one did, because the third floor was so quiet, so quiet that it was even a little weird. After the second layer of crisis, all the team members except Nako Lulu invariably felt an inexplicable pressure, so everyone preferred to walk slowly and cautiously.
"What the hell is wrong with you? The road is ahead, hurry up, hurry up!" Nakorulu, who was walking at the front, saw that the speed of everyone was too slow, and when they were all suspicious, she couldn't help but look back at everyone a little angrily, and then said angrily.
However, as soon as her words landed, and everyone had just cast displeased glances at them because of her words, Nakolulu's brows suddenly furrowed, and she said with some doubts: "Do you suddenly feel that it is very hot here? It seems that the temperature is getting higher and higher. ”
"Nope. Balk shook her head without thinking, Julia didn't speak, but she, like Balk, pondered for a moment, and then felt inexplicable at Nakolulu's words, and shook her head silently. McCarthy and Charlie Ren glanced at each other, and then shook their heads in the same way, with a look of doubt in their eyes.
Rod looked at Nakorulu calmly, just silent, and did not make any answer, but his expression looked obviously the same as most of the team members, and they were very skeptical of Nakolulu's words, and a look of doubt could be seen on his face from time to time. However, Xius, who had been with Nakorulu for a longer time, did not shake his head like the others. ,
But he didn't nod, but looked at Nako Lulu with deep eyes, and after judging from his gaze that the head of his regiment was not joking, he asked suspiciously, "Lulu, did you find anything?"
"I don't know what to do. It just felt like it was suddenly a little hot. Nakorulu shook her head unconfidently and said.
"Hot?" Hughes was suddenly stunned, but after a moment, he showed a faint smile and said, "Heat should be the relationship between us being in too much of a hurry." It's normal to feel hot, after all, we're mountaineering. If it's not hot after the fight, it's not normal. ”
After listening to Xius's explanation, Nakorulu nodded in relief, and the doubt in the eyes of the other team members turned into smiles in an instant. They didn't taunt Nakorulu because of this, after all, they had experienced two layers of crises together, and at this moment, the relationship between the entire adventure team was already very harmonious, and everyone just thought that Nakorulu was making a bit of a fuss.
However, Wuqi, who had been carried by Rhodes behind him and his eyes drooping, saw a phenomenon that puzzled him while everyone was laughing endlessly. Due to the crisis on the second floor, although everyone at this time walked very slowly, everyone transferred their aura and concentration to the white mist above their heads, so no one paid attention to other directions.
But it was different, because of the relationship between the second layer and the last one, he converted his physical strength to a state of super strength, physical strength and speed for the first time, so even if Rod and McCarthy successfully escaped later, he once again converted his physical condition to the most suitable state for launching spells, that kind of super physical strength, super strength and speed.
However, due to the fact that he had consumed all the energy in his body at one time before, he was now almost no different from an ordinary person who had collapsed, where could he still spread his breath, let alone let him look at the sky vigilantly at all times, at this moment he could only lie quietly on Rod's back and stare at the ground with his eyes drooping.
Originally, it was just a strange and unintentional glance, and he had no interest in looking at the unsightly and unclean green bricks on the ground, which became more and more dirty under the trampling of the team members, staining layer after layer of dry soil. However, what he didn't expect was that it was this unintentional glance that made his gaze more and more unable to leave the ground, and the more he looked, the more focused he became.
I saw that the platform ground paved with a large number of blue bricks suddenly appeared a slight trembling, and then there was a weak and inaudible "snort" sound from it, at first it was just a sound, but as time slowly passed, the sound became more and more, more and more dense, and finally it was like the air that permeated everyone's ears, like a buzz, echoing in everyone's ears.
However, because the team members were still chuckling at Nakoruru's fuss, none of them noticed. Of course, Wuqi heard it very clearly, and he continued to look at the ground, his pupils shrinking again.
I saw that the original hard green bricks did not know when, as if they had turned into cotton, and after being stepped on by the team members, they no longer made a crisp sound of "bang", but began to slowly dent to the ground, leaving footprints one after another. Although the sound is still there, it is no longer the crisp sound that the sole of the shoe should make when hitting the green brick, but the "poof" sound that seems to be made by squeezing the soft object on the sole of the shoe.
How did the green bricks get soft?
Seeing the abnormal changes on the ground, Wuqi's heart couldn't help but sink, but after a while, when he suddenly found that silk threads of heat suddenly burst out from under the softened green bricks, he finally couldn't help but jump in his heart and thought of something. However, before he could open his mouth, his body trembled again in shock by the scene in front of him.
I saw that after those silky hot gas suddenly burst out of the green bricks, it was only a few seconds, and the lower edge of the team's pants was completely melted, like an invisible mouth, as long as the heat touched the direction, it could instantly swallow it, leaving an obvious gap in the pants at the end.
However, this is just the beginning. When the silky heat bubbled up more and more, and finally the number was as large as the green bricks on the ground, densely covering the entire third layer of the ground, and after forming a huge mist above the ground, Wu Qi actually saw a faint flame from the mist. ,
At first, he only saw a small flame that looked like a candle flame, but after a moment, it was not just the front of Wuqi, but the back, side, and even the surroundings were covered with dense flames.
Not only that, but the flames only appeared for a moment, and they were like a whirlwind cloud, and all at once, the mist that covered all the ground was completely engulfed. It stands to reason that Wuqi should be happy after seeing this scene, because those terrible temperatures of heat are no longer there.
However, after the heat disappeared, instead of being happy, Wuqi's heart became heavier and heavier. When he saw that the ground that had been covered by water mist was engulfed by a sea of fire that was getting bigger and bigger almost instantly, his heart finally exploded at this moment.
"It's not the sky, it's the ground! everyone run!!" I saw Wuqi take a deep breath suddenly, completely ignoring his weakness at the moment, and shouted at the team members who were still talking and laughing, using the maximum volume he could make at this time, and said,
When he had finished speaking, his eyes darkened and he fainted.
The team members who were suddenly roared by Wuqi, always vigilant to the sky, but did not forget to talk and laugh when moving forward, all couldn't help but be stunned, and after looking down at the surrounding ground, everyone found that the ground originally composed of green bricks was like a grassland covered by flames, and instantly turned into a fire field.
Since the height of the flames was not even up to the knees of the players, even if it covered a wide area, it did not panic the players.
Instead, after seeing the fire rapidly spreading towards them, a sneer of mockery appeared on their faces, but after simultaneously operating their energy to spread their aura outwards with all their might, they successfully set up a hemispherical protective shield ten meters away from their bodies.
No matter how fast the fire was, it couldn't break through the shield, and the team members firmly believed this, so their faces all showed undisguised smugness.
However, only a moment later, when they suddenly found that the flames, which were not even up to their knees, had skyrocketed several times in an instant, completely blocking their vision and covering the sky as if in an instant, the faces of all the team members were at this moment, and it was difficult to see the extreme, and there was unimaginable pressure in their hearts.
How so?
In an instant, except for Wuqi, who was unconscious, and Xiaobai, who had no ability on his back, the brows of all the other team members were wrinkled together at this moment, and their hearts were under the strong pressure of huge pressure, and common doubts arose.
