Xiao Yu tightly hugged Qing Lin in his embrace within the pitch-black tunnel. The two of them used the slope of the tunnel to continuously slide down. Qing Lin's small hand was holding a Moonlight Stone. A faint gentle gaze was emitted from it, allowing Xiao Yu to distinguish whether there were any obstacles in the road ahead.
Not far behind the two of them, over ten faint rays of light followed closely behind them. Everyone's butts were pressed against the walls of the cave, creating a 'chi chi' sound that slowly reverberated within the tunnel.
As his body slid down, Xiao Yu's gaze swept across the walls on both sides of the tunnel. After a while, he was somewhat stunned to discover that this tunnel was actually extremely smooth. There was basically not a single stone protruding from the walls. This tunnel seemed to have been formed by an extremely huge energy pillar.
After sliding down for about two to three minutes, Xiao Yu could already see the bottom of the tunnel. He bent his feet slightly and after a moment, with a slight muffled sound, his body fell to the ground in a bow shape. As he bent and stretched his body, he completely dissolved the rebound force of the fall.
After landing on the ground, Xiao Yu released Qing Lin from his embrace. He pulled her along and took a few steps forward. His gaze swept across the road in front of him and indeed discovered that there were actually over ten pitch-black passageways.
Helplessly shaking his head, Xiao Yu smiled at Qing Lin and said, Qing Lin, you should try to sense it. Otherwise, it will take several days to finish searching all the passages.”
Yes." He nodded slightly. Qing Lin's small hand pulled Xiao Yan. Her eyes blinked slightly, only to see three extremely tiny green dots quietly appear around her jade-green pupils.
As the light in the passage was rather dim, the two of them could not see anything. Thus, even Xiao Yu did not notice the change in Qing Lin's eyes.
As Qing Lin slowly closed her eyes and sensed the aura within the tunnel, the surroundings once again slowly calmed down. A moment later, a series of soft muffled sounds came from behind. Xiao Yu knew that Xiao Ding and the others had already arrived.
Tilting his head slightly, he made a hush gesture to Xiao Ding and the others who had landed on the ground. After which, he pointed his finger at Qing Lin who had her eyes closed.
Xiao Ding nodded slightly when he saw Xiao Yu's action. He made a hand gesture and the people who had landed behind him also tacitly swallowed the question that had reached their mouths.
He placed the rope in his hand properly. Xiao Ding and the other Desert Metal Mercenary Company members slowly pulled out their weapons. After which, they quietly stepped forward and protected Xiao Yu and Qing Lin in the middle. Their cautious gazes repeatedly swept over their surroundings.
The silence continued for a moment before Qing Lin finally gradually opened her jade-green eyes. His little finger pointed to a passage on the left and said softly, Young Master, although there are some remnants of aura in the other passages, this passage is the thickest one. It seemed that half a year ago, that person had stayed here the longest!”
Hearing this, Xiao Yu's gaze swept towards the pitch-black passageway. This passageway was clearly extremely long. As he looked over, he saw a stretch of deep darkness. Seeing this situation, Xiao Yu could not help but frown slightly.
Tilting his head, Xiao Yu and Xiao Ding exchanged a glance before letting out a light breath. Just as he was about to take the lead and walk in. However, he was suddenly stopped by Xiao Ding.
"Wait a moment…" Xiao Ding shook his head slightly at Xiao Yan. After which, he turned his head and softly said to a large, muscular man, Ham. Go and check if there's anything special hidden in this passage.”
Yes." Hearing this, the burly man named Han Mu nodded and walked to the pitch-black passage. He then lay down and used his side face to touch the sand surface. At the same time, he fiercely stabbed his palms into it. Into the sand.
What is this?" Seeing Han Mu's strange actions, Xiao Yu could not help but ask in astonishment.
Ham's attribute was a variation of the earth attribute, the sand attribute…Therefore, in the desert, he could use the sand to sense some hidden auras that others could not detect.”Xiao Ding explained.
In this unknown place, we have to be careful. It's not wise to charge recklessly.”
Ke ke, the Desert Metal Mercenary Company really has quite a number of strange people. This kind of teamwork is naturally much better than letting me randomly run around.”Xiao Yu smiled and sighed.
It's just a little trick to save my life." Xiao Ding randomly shook his head. He raised his head and looked at the large man who had finished his probe. What do you think?"
"I haven't finished probing…" Ham frowned and shook his head. I probed a distance of nearly five hundred meters but did not discover any other hidden aura. However, just as I was planning to continue probing, I discovered that the earth affinity energy had completely disappeared in the deeper regions. What replaced it was an extremely hot fire affinity energy. In that kind of environment, my probing was no longer of any use.”
The earth attribute energy has disappeared?" Xiao Ding was startled when he heard this. The depths of this desert should have been the place with the densest earth attributed energy. How could this place have completely disappeared? Xiao Yu thought,"It's probably the magma mentioned in the original novel!"”
"There must be something in front of us. Let's go!" Xiao Yu said helplessly.”
"Yes!" Xiao Ding nodded when he heard this.
Remember. "Every fifty meters, place a Moonlight Stone on the wall of the cave…" Hearing Xiao Ding's soft instructions to the Desert Metal Mercenary Group members behind him, Xiao Yu, who was in front, could not help but click his tongue in his heart. When Xiao Ding did things, he was really flawless. He had a firm grasp on every small matter.
More than a dozen figures slowly walked in the dark passage with the help of the moonlight stone. Therefore, everyone remained silent in unison. Along the way, other than the slight rustling of footsteps, it was almost silent.
There seemed to be no concept of time in the pitch-black and deep tunnel. Everyone continued to move forward in a somewhat stiff manner. It was as if there was no end to it. There was no end to the light. This scene…was like walking towards the center of the earth…
As the distance between them grew deeper and deeper, Xiao Yu suddenly noticed that the cold feeling that enveloped his body suddenly dissipated and was replaced. It was a faint heat.
Sensing this change, he turned his head slightly and looked at Xiao Ding's group. He licked his lips and softly said,"It should be because of this heat that the earth attribute energy disappeared!”
The few of them nodded. It had just entered the range of the fire attribute energy and it was already so dense. How terrifying would that be? Could it be that below? Is there really a 'Heavenly Flame'?" Xiao Ding said in a somewhat shocked manner.
"Let's go and continue. Everyone, if you cannot endure the roasting of the surrounding fire affinity energy, please stop your footsteps. Otherwise, if you continue, it is likely that your body will spontaneously combust…" Xiao Yan inhaled a deep breath of air, turned his head around, and solemnly said.
Yes." Seeing Xiao Yan's serious expression, everyone did not dare to be negligent and hurriedly nodded.
Qing Lin, if you sense that you can't persist, then tell me, understand?”Xiao Yu lowered his head and spoke to Qing Lin in a deep voice.
Yes." She obediently nodded her head. Looking at the expression on Qing Lin's small face, it seemed that there was no abnormality due to the surrounding hot fire affinity energy!
As the group proceeded deeper, the surrounding fire affinity aura also became increasingly dense. A few of the weaker members had already begun to be unable to endure this high temperature and helplessly chose to retreat.
Although there were some who retreated, they continued to venture deeper. In the end, only Xiao Yu, Xiao Ding and Qing Lin continued to endure. The others could not endure the increasingly violent fire affinity energy and all withdrew.
Xiao Yu thought helplessly,"It should be close to the lava!"”"We're almost there…" After turning another corner, a red light appeared at the end of the tunnel not far away. Seeing this, Xiao Yu's body trembled in excitement. He wiped the sweat off his face and spoke in a hoarse and dry voice.
Xiao Yu could feel the temperature inside. It was very difficult for people below the five star Dou Shi level to enter. Only those with fire affinity could enter!
The three of them sped up the last part of the journey. They quickly passed through this short distance and arrived at the end of the passage…
Standing at the end of the passage, the three of them looked at the fiery red world in front of them. Their faces were filled with shock…even Xiao Yu, who already knew that it was magma, was shocked! This was the first time Xiao Yu had seen lava!
