Chapter 143: Sea of Fire
Her voice frightened several people into not daring to move.
In the darkness, no one knows what's inside.
Ji Hua listened sideways: "There is no sound, it seems to be a tree." ”
Chang Jue didn't feel the breath of any living creatures, he took a few steps forward first, and then turned back to them and said, "What a tree." ”
Xin Su was surprised: "How can there be a tree here? Could this be the divine tree?"
When a few people got closer, they realized that the tree was different.
The tree was flowerless and leafless, and its trunk was red and mottled with cracks, like scars from a whiplash.
Phantom Wu: "It is estimated that it is a different tree growing here, and the Feng Clan Divine Tree should have fruit, right?"
Chang Jue looked forward, "There are several similar trees ahead. ”
Just when a few people were at a loss, Ji Hua reached out and touched the trunk of the tree, and his fingertips touched the bark, and there was a slight tingling sensation.
"Huh?" Ji Hua felt a little sticky feeling on his fingertips, it was a warm liquid.
Xin Su glanced at it, and this glance was startled again: "Ah! This tree is bleeding!"
Only then did Phantom Wu and Changjue see that there was indeed bright red liquid on Ji Hua's fingertips, and when they looked closer, the red juice was indeed oozing out of the cracks in the bark, soaking the cracks in red, so the whole trunk looked red.
"It's not blood, it's sap, and the trunk is red with it. Phantom said.
"Red ......" Ji Hua thought for a while, he got closer and sniffed the juice on his fingertips, and suddenly stretched out his tongue and licked it.
"Hey, aren't you afraid of being poisonous?" Phantom Wu didn't stop him even if he wanted to.
Ji Hua suddenly smiled and said: "It's okay, this tree is indeed a kind of sacred tree left by ancient times, called Bai She, you say that it has no leaves and no fruits, and the body of the tree is red, and I can touch the blood-like sap when I touch it, I remember that I once read a book that has a record." The sap smells sweet, can be eaten after licking, and has medicinal properties, and can stop bleeding when applied to wounds. ”
"It's amazing. Phantom Wu also reached out and touched a little tree sap to taste it, and it was really sweet and delicious.
Chang Jue pondered for a moment, looked at the staggered white trees in front of him, and a bad premonition rose in his heart: "If you can fight hunger, will it be the creatures in the belly of this mountain to eat?"
His words made everyone feel a chill in this hot environment.
Phantom Wu asked hesitantly: "This is an ancient tree species, and now there are no longer in the outside world, and this mountain belly does not look like a natural growth environment, maybe it was planted here in ancient times, so that the life in the mountain belly will not starve to death." ”
"It was planted in ancient times, so the things in it should also be left over from ancient times, and they have been living in this dark place?" Xin Su felt that the heat around him couldn't suppress the chills on his body: "Who will come to steal treasures in this kind of place?"
Ji Hua disagreed: "This is because of the danger, which means that the treasures in it are particularly precious, and it is better to believe them than to believe them." Since it is the guardian of my Feng clan, it naturally cannot fall into the hands of others, if you are afraid, you can naturally go out first. ”
Xin Su was provoked by him, and hurriedly said: "Who said that I am scared? I am entrusted by the Emperor of Heaven, of course I can't retreat. ”
The group continued to move forward, and after turning a corner, they suddenly felt that the scene in front of them began to brighten.
Phantom: "Why did it start to get brighter?"
Ji Hua also said: "Is it fire? I feel the heat getting heavier." ”
After Ji Hua reminded them, a few people found that the burning sensation in the mountain had indeed become stronger, as if there were several burning fires surrounding them.
"But I can't see the fire, if there is such a huge source of fire, it should be getting closer and closer to us. Chang Jue glanced at Phantom Wu worriedly, "Are you okay?" Do you want me to cool you down with water spirit?"
"No, I'm fine. Phantom licked her dry lips, she looked at Xinsu, who was also not in a good situation, Xinsu's cheeks were slightly red, and she had been wiping the sweat on her forehead with her sleeves.
But even so, Xin Su didn't use his own water spiritual power to cool himself down.
"I don't know what to encounter, it's better to preserve your strength and don't waste your physical strength. Phantom Wu said to Changjue.
"Don't push it, you have to tell me if it doesn't work. ”
"Don't worry, I'm sorry for my life. ”
Xin Su was no longer able to speak, and as for Ji Hua looking good, Phantom Wu found out that she didn't know what kind of attribute of spiritual power Ji Hua was cultivating.
"Ji Hua, what kind of spiritual power are you cultivating?"
Ji Hua turned her head in her direction: "I don't practice the Five Elements Spiritual Power, I practice the wind. “
"Wind, can you summon the wind?" Phantasm was curious.
"I used to be okay when my body was okay, but now I ...... I don't know either. Ji Hua tugged at the corners of her mouth, as if she wanted to try to give Phantom Wu a smile, but she didn't know that such an expression was extremely bitter in Phantom's eyes.
It seems that Ji Hua's blindness is not born...... I wonder what happened to him?
Now is not the time to ask, and it is difficult for Phantom Wu to ask about other people's old things.
The four of them continued to walk for a while, and Phantom Wu only felt the sweat on his forehead roll down his cheeks, and it dried the moment it dripped to the ground.
No, the more Phantom Wu walked, the heavier her feet became, if it weren't for Chang Jue supporting her, she only felt that she didn't have the strength to go any further.
"Ah......h
"I can't walk, it's all hot. Xin Su tried to maintain her dignity, but the sweat on her face still wet her hair.
Ji Hua said to her: "It's really not good, just use your spiritual power, or go out." ”
These words are also well-intentioned, but every time Ji Hua talks to Xinsu, he can always make people hear a little disdain.
Xin Su couldn't take care of these things, she couldn't hold on anymore, and immediately urged the spiritual power of the water system to swim all over her body.
A mist soon evaporated from her body, and the moistness relieved the dryness and heat, and made her face look much better.
Chang Jue's hand holding the phantom has been giving her spiritual power to cool down, but after all, it is too small to play a big role.
This time, the chief never asked Phantom Wu again, and directly condensed a water spiritual power for Phantom Wu, enveloping her in it.
"It's okay, I'll bless it every once in a while, it doesn't take a lot of effort. You need to take a break, or you won't be able to hold it up for long. ”
Phantom Wu looked at Changjue through a layer of water curtain, the blessing of water did make her feel a lot better, Changjue was right, she couldn't hold on any longer.
"This water curtain is evaporating too quickly, so let's do it, Ah Jue, you can send me water directly, it's better than making such an enchantment, right?"
After listening to it for a long time, looking at the rapidly steaming water mist, she had to put away the water curtain and directly take the phantom hand and transmit the largest water spirit to her.
"It's all for you, I'm not afraid of fire. ”
The water spirit swims around like a stream, and the phantom condenses its own cold qi, and condenses the water spirit into an ice crystal for storage, which can reduce the consumption of longevity.
This method looked good, and just as they were happy, one after another the humanoid black shadows felt the surge of water spirits, and they continued to burst out of the nest one after another.
"The crater of the earth is just ahead. "Ji Hua's perception of heat is very accurate, and he has already judged the central position just by relying on the heat flow in the belly of the mountain.
"Let's go, if there is any secret treasure divine tree, it is estimated that it will be at the mouth of the earth. Chang Jue took the phantom and the four of them continued to move forward.
In addition to planting Bai She in the belly of the mountain, there are many traces of artificial excavation, and it took so long to find that the mountain was simply hollowed out.
Many of the rocks were exposed, full of cracks, and looked like they had been burned.
What is it that can burn all the rocks? Maybe there are many more stones, all of which have long since been burned to ashes.
"Is that the crater of the earth's fire?" Phantasm pointed to the light of fire rising from the ground in the distance.
The four of them walked forward, and what appeared in front of them was a huge crack in the ground, although they were in the belly of the mountain, facing the deep rift, and several people were standing on the edge of the cliff.
Looking into the rift, clusters of orange-red fires rose upward, the color was so bright that it looked like gold.
In the bottomless cracks is a sea of fire visible to the naked eye. The rocks in the sea of fire were also burned to a charcoal-like red, and the stones cracked after they could not withstand the heat, and from time to time they made a cracking sound.
The firelight at the bottom of the cliff illuminated the faces of all four of them a strange red.
"There's no underground fire slurry here, it's just a fire ground at all, but what are these rocks burning, how can they be burning here all the time?" Phantom Wu looked at this shocking firelight and muttered to himself.
"It seems that this rift was formed by burning, and this mountain is simply fuel. He sighed.
Phantom Wu wondered: "Isn't it better to use wood for fuel than to use wood?"
Chang Jue turned his head, and there was also a fire in his dark eyes, which looked like a sea of fire burning in his eyes: "Perhaps, they didn't want something so easy to burn to expand this sea of fire in the first place?"
The heart element urged the spiritual power to cool down, this time the child was already much better, and her head was no longer a chaos, she quickly understood the meaning of Changjue: "You mean, what is it, lock yourself up here, they will expand the fire at all?"
"Did you hear any sounds?" Ji Hua, who had not spoken, suddenly interrupted them: "That 'click' sound?"
Ji Hua's unfocused eyes were wide open, and his always calm and gentle face was a little hideous in the firelight.
Except for Ji Hua, the remaining ear power is not bad, he listened quietly for a while, and suddenly the sound jumped up from the spot with the phantom wu.
At the same time, a ball of flame hit the ground and smashed into the place where Phantom Wu had been standing.
"There's someone there!" shouted Xinsu.
Only Ji Hua couldn't see it, and the rest of the people all saw it, a tall figure with slender limbs burst out of the underground flames, like a demon bathing in fire in the hell road.
