Chapter 7: Into the Flaming Mountain
There was little greenery around the Flaming Mountain, and the bare sand shimmered in the sunlight. The red sand and gravel on the hills in the distance were blown by the heat wave like red dragons circling. Although Mu Chen and Jie Sheli were holding a portable small fan, it didn't work at all in this extremely high temperature environment.
Wuyu led the two into the largest of the surrounding tents, where two people were facing away from the door, looking at the map on the wall and discussing something.
"Sima, Ruoxing, I'm back. Wu Yu said to the two men.
The two of them heard Wuyu's voice and turned around and walked over.
Wuyu continued: "These two are Mu Chen and Break Away. ”
Then he pointed to a weak scholar in front of him who was wearing glasses and looking a little thin, and introduced to Mu Duan and the others: "This is Liu Ruoxing, he is a good machine for finding dragons and exploring caves." ”
Then Wuyu pointed to another strong man who was shirtless and only wore a big pants and introduced: "This is Sima Yang, and he is also a cultivator. ”
After the four of them got to know each other, Mu Chen opened his mouth and asked, "Is the Heavenly Immortal Sword really in this Flame Mountain?" Why have I been here for a while, but I haven't felt a trace of spiritual power. ”
After listening to this, Liu Ruoxing made a gesture of invitation, and brought Mu Chen and Duan Sheli to the detailed map of the Flame Mountain hanging on the wall. Liu Ruoxing pointed to the place marked with a red dot in the northeast direction of the map and said, "This is the place where the spiritual power was emitted at that time, and when we arrived here, the spiritual power still existed." But just yesterday, the spiritual power began to slowly weaken, and finally disappeared. ”
"That's true, we wanted to go in and check it out, but Director Li said that the two of you are coming, so we are going to set off with the two of you tomorrow. Sima Yang added.
Next, after the five of them discussed the precautions for tomorrow, it was already dark. Mu Chen and Duan She were separated in a tent. The temperature difference between day and night in Xinjiang is very large, and the high temperature is still 30 or 40 degrees during the day, and it drops by more than 20 degrees at night. Thanks to Wuyu's carefulness, a thin quilt was prepared for Muchen and Jiesheli, and the cool weather made the two of them who had been running for a day quickly fall asleep.
At seven o'clock in the morning, Wu Yu got up early, but the rough man carefully packed everything up, prepared breakfast, and then called the others to get up one by one.
When he came to the tent where Mu Chen and Broken Away had left, Wu Yu shouted a few times to get up, but there was no reaction inside. Wuyu had no choice but to open the curtain and go in, but the moment he opened it, the scene in front of him really shocked him. I saw that the two people in the tent were hugging each other, Mu Chen also used his legs to clamp Duan Sheli's waist, one hand on Duan Sheli's back, and Duan Sheli's two hands tightly wrapped around Mu Chen's neck. The two of them look like this, it's not sweet.
"You ......"
Maybe it was because of the dazzling sunlight shining in from outside the door, or maybe it was because he felt the strong gaze at the door, Mu Chen snorted a few times and slowly opened his eyes.
"Ah!! what did you do to me?!" Mu Chen opened his eyes and saw that he was lying in his arms, so frightened that he quickly pulled away from his hand, pulled the quilt over himself, and sat up. There is also a decent study TV, pull open the quilt to see if you have been stripped naked.
Duan Sheli was woken up by Mu Chen's screams, and when he saw Mu Chen, who was aggrieved like a little daughter-in-law who had been defiled by someone, he glared at him fiercely, "What are you wronged? You didn't say anything about snatching my quilt last night, but rubbed it on me, I haven't cried yet, what are you wronged?"
"Then I'm cold at night!" Mu Chen pulled the quilt and looked at Duan Sheli and continued: "If I rub it, let me rub it, I don't know how to push me away!"
"What can I do if I'm asleep!"
"Ahem, ahem...... It's almost up, two. Wu Yu held back a laugh and quickly interrupted the two people who were about to quarrel.
Maybe it's to avoid suspicion, Mu Chen and Break Away, who were so close before getting up in the morning, now have to have a person in the middle when eating, and they have to be separated by a distance on the way to the Flame Mountain, and they don't talk to each other, which is really incomprehensible!
Mu Chen and the other five people started to set off at about half past eight in the morning, the temperature was not very high at this time, and a few people didn't bring much things, each holding a small fan in their hands, which really looked like they were traveling. The five of them, who were fairly easy to walk, walked in the northeast direction for about twenty minutes, and when they climbed a small hill, they could see the target point that emitted spiritual power.
After climbing the hill, a circular crater with a diameter of about six meters comes into view. Wu Yu said to Mu Chen and Juanli:
"This is the round pit that was washed out by the aura, we haven't entered it yet, everyone must be careful for a while. ”
The other four all nodded cautiously.
After descending the hill, the five of them walked to the edge of the round pit, stretched out their heads to look inside, and it was pitch black, and they did not know how deep it was.
When the other four people were still gathered around the round pit, Wuyu took off the backpack on his back, took out five portable electric energy devices from it, and handed them to them.
This portable electric device is just a disc about five centimeters in diameter and only a centimeter or two thin, but it emits a bright light when it is attached to clothing and presses a small button.
Mu Chen took the electric energy and stuck it on the clothes on his chest, pressed the button, and instantly a beam of light came out, dispelling the darkness in front of him. said: "Brother Wuyu, you are really too careful!
Before Wuyu could speak, Sima Yang immediately answered: "That's not it, we all affectionately call him Mother Yu, hehe!"
Wu Yu glanced at Sima Yang, "you." ”
After a few noisy scenes, the five of them were ready to go down to the pit. But how can you go down? There is no rope!
"I'm sorry, guys, I forgot to bring the rope. Sima Yang scratched his head, his face full of embarrassment.
"It seems that I'm the only one who has taken you down and taken off your belts. ”
After Mu Chen finished speaking, he began to untie his trouser belt. The four of them were confused by his move, and they didn't know what method he was going to use. But now Mu Chen is the most capable person here, so he can only trust him. So, the other four people also started to untie their belts.
In the Gobi in this wilderness, five big men gathered around to untie their belts, no matter how you think about it, this picture has a strange feeling.
Mu Chen tied the belts of the five people together and handed them out.
"It's going down too fast in a while, you must hurry up!"
After speaking, Duan Sheli, who was standing opposite, was about to reach out to take the belt, Mu Chen waved his hand and said, "You, you are the last." ”
Everyone pulled up their belts and stood on the edge of the round pit, Mu Chen said, "I said one, two, three, everyone jumps together." ”
"Jump, jump down?" Liu Ruoxing looked at the bottomless pit, a little scared.
"Hmm. Mu Chen's expression was very calm, and he seemed to be confident.
The other four had no choice but to take a deep breath, secretly cheer themselves up, and jumped down with Mu Chen.
The rapid fall of the body, the strong feeling of weightlessness made people feel extremely uncomfortable, and several people grabbed the belt and screamed in horror. When he was about to reach the bottom, Mu Chen took out two paper cranes that he had folded earlier, pinched out a trick, and the paper cranes quickly became bigger, flapped their wings, and dragged the five people on their backs. Slowly flying down, the five people landed smoothly.
Liu Ruoxing wiped the cold sweat that was scared on his forehead and asked, "Mu Chen, why didn't you take out this good thing earlier!"
Mu Chen calmly put away the paper crane and replied: "It's so fun, it's like bungee jumping." ”
