Chapter 21: Overcoming the Fire
Everyone in the audience stared intently at the ten testers inside the bubble.
At first, none of the ten subjects were unusual. As time passed, the expressions on the faces of two or three subjects changed, some were hideous, some were frightened, and some were simply pale and broke out in a cold sweat.
Seeing someone like this in the crowd below, their hearts began to beat drums. Yuan Jiaping whispered to Lu Hao: "Brother Lu, I see that this trial is a bit evil, you look at that person, I'm afraid I'm going to be scared of something." ”
Lu Hao also noticed it, and he couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive in his heart.
After a few more moments, one of the subjects screamed loudly, and the man fell to the ground.
Everyone was shocked. Elder Qu stretched out his index finger and pointed at the altar where the man was, and the bubbles on the altar disappeared suddenly. The man who fell to the ground slowly opened his eyes and staggered down the altar.
"Next. The yellow-shirted disciple on the side of the altar shouted.
In the time that followed, several more subjects fell to the ground or opened their mouths to shout, and Elder Qu removed the bubbles one by one.
Lu Hao was also paying attention to the woman who was testing at this time, intentionally or unintentionally. I saw that although this woman looked a little nervous and had a little beads of sweat on her forehead, she was quite calm and didn't seem to have much impact.
After a while, Elder Qu stretched out his hand and clicked on the bubbles beside the woman, and said, "Pass!" I saw that the cold-faced woman was very calm when she learned that she had passed, and she didn't see joy at all, and she still slowly left the altar very indifferently, and entered the main hall under the guidance of the yellow-shirted disciple.
As more and more people in the crowd entered the altar, time was slowly passing. During this time, most subjects entered in high spirits and left in frustration. There are also occasional lucky people who pass the trial and are named by Elder Qu.
Lu Hao had already made up his mind at this time, and said, "Brother Yuan, I'll go over now." Yuan Jiaping heard Lu Hao say this, and also said: "Brother Lu, sooner or later, it will be the same thing, you and my brothers will go together!"
In the two vacant positions on the altar, Lu Hao and Yuan Jiaping walked into the altar one after the other.
Lu Hao sat cross-legged on the futon, and when he saw the bubbles rising from the circular steps, he instantly covered himself in it.
At this time, Lu Hao closed his eyes, waiting for the upcoming test. He couldn't help but feel a little nervous in his heart, but then he thought of Yushuang again. As soon as he thought of Yushuang, his heart suddenly became unusually firm. He said secretly: Yu'er, it is the sword mountain and the sea of fire, for you, I will also break through it!
Suddenly, his eyes suddenly changed. I saw that at this time, I was standing alone on the platform halfway up the mountain, and there were no people around.
He looked up at the hall in the distance, and it seemed to be so far away all of a sudden. Before he could think about it, suddenly, the bluestone platform in front of him shook violently, and the rumbling sound was endless.
Then, a terrifying scene occurred in front of me, and I saw that the platform in front of me collapsed completely. A deep ravine appeared between himself and the main hall.
This was not over, only to feel a hot breath coming from the ravine below. He looked down and saw a large amount of magma gushing out of the ravine below. The red magma, mixed with black stones, was turbulent.
When he was still at a loss, he saw four iron cables sprouting out of thin air on the platform he was standing on, two on top and two on the bottom, leading straight to the opposite hall. The four iron cables instantly turned red under the scorching magma below.
Lu Hao understood, this was to let himself step on the two iron cables, grasp the iron cables above with both hands, and cross the magma.
When he was hesitating, he saw that the platform behind him was also collapsing a little bit, and looking at this situation, it wouldn't be long before even the platform under his feet collapsed.
At this moment, the situation was very critical, Lu Hao gritted his teeth and stepped forward on the iron cable. Just as he stepped on the iron ropes with both feet, his hands also held on to the two iron cables on them. I only heard a 'zila' sound, and a burning pain came into Lu Hao's palm.
The sharp pain in his heart made Lu Hao extremely painful. But he knew that he must not let go at this moment. If you let go, you'll definitely fall into the fiery red magma below. He could only endure the severe pain and move forward step by step.
I only heard a 'bang', and the platform behind me completely collapsed. There was no way back for him.
He held the rope in one hand and removed the other for a moment, which would relieve the burning pain a little. Walking step by step, I changed my other hand to hold the rope from time to time, so that this hand could be comfortable for a while.
At this moment, only a cracking sound was heard, and a large fiery red stone popped out of the magma below, and passed in front of Lu Hao. Lu Hao was shocked, and his heart was so dangerous.
The crackling sound became more and more frequent, and more and more stones were popping upwards. Lu Hao endured the severe pain, dodged as he walked, and trembled and approached the opposite hall little by little.
In the midst of this severe pain and high tension, Lu Hao was a little confused. At this time, the world in front of him seemed to turn fiery red, the sweat on his head was roasted and evaporated, and even his hair was burned to a ball.
His hands didn't seem to feel anything anymore, and he didn't feel any pain anymore. The whole person seemed to be about to fall.
When he was in a daze, he suddenly heard a faint call in his mind: "Brother Hao, save me!" Lu Hao was suddenly startled, and the figure of Yu'er suddenly appeared in his mind. He looked very real, the thin red lips, fair skin, curved eyebrows, and those moving eyes, staring at him tenderly.
"Ahh He stared at the hall across from him with bloodshot eyes. "Yu'er, I won't fall, you wait for me, I'll come!"
With a heart-rending howl, his whole body seemed to be filled with infinite power. He strode across the road.
The magma below was still tumbling violently, and the four iron cables had turned dark red as if they were about to be burned. And Lu Hao, at this time, was like a steel and iron bone, turning a blind eye to all this. Like an iron man, he marched forward step by step......
I don't know how long it took, but he finally approached the main hall step by step. When he lifted his foot with difficulty and stepped on the stone steps in front of the main hall, the whole person went limp.
"Pass!" Elder Qu's voice came from a trance in his ears. Lu Hao slowly opened his eyes, and suddenly found that he was still sitting on the futon. He quickly looked at his hands and found that there were no scars at all. Looking around, there were many people in the crowd below who cast a look at him with envy or jealousy.
Only then did he realize that everything just now was an illusion. At this moment, the altar under him flashed, and the bubbles disappeared. He slowly got up and was ushered into the main hall by the yellow clothes.
As soon as he entered the main hall, someone suddenly ran over and hugged him, and before Lu Hao could react, he heard: "Brother Lu, congratulations, you have also passed." ”
