"Commander, I think we should set off immediately! Let's lead the troops to camp by the Lava Lake." Teng Qing Shan said in a low voice, "Many people have already rushed to the bottom of the lake. If we don't leave now...by tomorrow, I'm afraid the entire area around Lava Lake will be occupied by others."
Ji Hong's heart skipped a beat.
Right, taking up space!
The magma lake is only tens of meters away from an arc-shaped passage, and the magma river has a wide passage on one side. In addition to being too hot near the magma lake, even a skilled martial artist would have to stay at least 20 or 30 feet away from the edge of the magma lake. Getting too close would consume internal energy at an alarming rate. This means that the empty space around the magma lake can accommodate at most two or three hundred people.
Others could only live in tunnels or further away on the banks of lava rivers.
In short, the later you go, the harder it is to get a seat.
"If we were squeezed out of tens of meters away from the start, there was no chance to grab the Black Fire Spirit Fruit at all." Ji Hong stood up, "Qingshan, Guanlv, take people and let's rush to the ground immediately! First occupy a good position in the front. Ah... bring more food and water!"
******
Knowing the situation underground, Teng Qing Shan and others spent a lot of silver coins within half an hour to buy a large number of steamed buns, cakes and other food. At the same time, they also carried box after box of large water tanks. After the food and water were ready, Teng Qing Shan and his group immediately rushed to that canyon.
When Tan Qing and Shan arrived.
"Haha, Ji Hong, you guys came quickly." Du Jiu was standing in the canyon, his Qinghu Island experts were climbing into the cave one by one, some carrying food and others carrying water tanks.
"Hurry up," Ji Hong ordered, "Qingshan, take the lead and go first."
"Yes!"
Teng Qing Shan single-handedly carried a large iron water tank, which was the largest one, weighing as much as 1,000 catties. It was so heavy that even an expert would find it troublesome to carry it up the mountain and into the cave.
"What's the hurry?" The young master of Shō Island, 'Kosei Yū', swung his long spear in his hand and blocked Tenson Mountain.
Teng Qing Shan is now carrying a water tank, in Gu Shi Yu's view, his agility has decreased by a lot.
Hong Qing Shan swung his gun in a circular motion, then used the momentum to leap up, grabbing onto two rocks and stepping on the shoulder of a Qīng Hú Dǎo expert before darting into the cave.
"Good kung fu!" Gu Shiyou praised.
"Hurry up and go." Ji Hong was in charge below, the other masters were all climbing in an orderly manner, carrying hundreds of kilograms of things on their backs, wanting to fly up, it's too difficult.
Qinghu Island's side managed to fully enter first, while the Guiyuan Sect's side was slightly slower.
……
Hot! Extremely hot!
Whether it's the masters of Qinghu Island or the masters of Guiyuan Sect, they are carrying hundreds of kilograms of things and walking in an environment with a temperature of over 60 degrees. Next to them, hot magma flows, and from time to time, a wave of hot air sprays over. Even if they hide far away, the temperature of the spraying hot air still makes the masters feel uncomfortable.
Sweat dripping down!
"Living in such a hot place all the time? Heaven forbid."
"It's too hot, I've never been to a place this hot in my life."
Those masters all felt that they would suffer in the next few days.
Soon, people from Guiyuanzong and Qinghu Island all rushed to the shore of Lava Lake.
At this moment, there are only their two groups of people by the lake of magma, and no other groups have arrived yet.
"We've entered this cave, near the foot of the mountain. And that deep tunnel is still far to the west of Flame Mountain. We arrived quickly." Ji Hong's face revealed a hint of a smile, "Alright, occupying an area four zhang wide will do. The others can sit further back, if there isn't enough space, they can enter the tunnel and rest."
Although it is said that there are several tens of zhang on the edge of the lava lake.
But everyone knows that there are tens of thousands of warriors, and masters are as common as clouds. If the Guiyuan Sect wants to take more than half, I'm afraid other masters will tear the Guiyuan Sect's people apart!
"Green Mountain, it's so hot. We eat and sleep here?" Tian Qinghu said with a bitter face.
"It's no use getting angry, just bear with it." Teng Qing Shan smiled and said, "When the Black Fire Spirit Fruit ripens that day, our suffering will come to an end."
Four zhang wide, ten people sit in a row. Each row is spaced six or seven feet apart, so that people can lie down and rest.
Only three rows of seats were sat, and everyone else had to enter the tunnel.
……
As time passed by, many warriors arrived.
"It's too hot!" Many warriors who came in for the first time cried out in distress.
"It's hot and dry! Must bring a lot of water. Otherwise, one night, people will be too hot to bear." Many experienced martial artists come in and immediately turn back to go get water.
……
"So many people! Where is the Black Fire Spirit Fruit? I can't see it?" Some warriors who arrived late looked at the dense crowd of warriors in front of them, either sitting or lying down, and were stunned.
*******
Many, many warriors flooded into this underground place.
The single lava river channel's side road extends for another two or three hundred zhang. This is still the reason why a large number of warriors live in the tunnel.
"Green Mountain, you guys are really thorough." Teng Qinghu looked at the distance, densely packed, and couldn't see the end of the crowd. "So many people, if we come late, we can't even get in!"
"It's easy to go out, but hard to come in!" Teng Qing Shan also sighed.
If someone from inside wants to go out, the warriors outside will cooperate.
But if people from the outer layer want to squeeze inside!
People from the inner circle will unite and even resort to violence!
"The people of the Carefree Palace are in a pitiful state." Teng Qinghu sighed and gazed at a group of people over ten zhang away, "At least forty to fifty of them have died."
"Hmm." Teng Qing Shan gazed into the distance at a group of people wearing white robes.
That group of people were experts from the 'Xiao Yao Palace', one of the nine major sects. This time, the Xiao Yao Palace's people arrived slightly late, which resulted in them arriving when the warriors had already lined up nearly a hundred feet away. How could they possibly obtain the Black Fire Spirit Fruit if they were over a hundred feet away?
So, squeeze forward!
There were many warriors in front of them, and they were unwilling to give up their positions. This led to a conflict, but with so many warriors in front of them, who was afraid of whom?
Warriors are all ruthless people, once they start killing, their hands are extremely vicious!
Blood splattered everywhere, luckily the two elders of the Carefree Palace, 'Hei' and 'Bai', killed crazily with one breath, finally stunning a large number of mad warriors. In the end, the people of the Carefree Palace only squeezed to within ten zhang of the Lava Lake, no one dared to go further forward because those in the front were almost all masters!
If Xiangyao Palace still wants to charge forward tyrannically, I'm afraid that today, not many people will be able to survive.
……
"This place makes you sweat quickly and get thirsty easily." The warriors often go to scoop up water to drink, in this land, food is scarce but what's most lacking is water! It gets consumed especially fast.
It's been three whole days!
In this tunnel where the temperature has reached sixty degrees, they stayed for three days. Even the powerful warriors were dizzy from the heat. Many of the weaker warriors had already left the underground and gone to the surface. For them, coming to the underground was just a formality.
It's not worth suffering so much just to watch a play.
In three days' time, more than half of the warriors have left.
However, at the edge of the magma lake, the strongest warriors were still holding on.
"Warriors, your physical training is too poor!" Teng Qing Shan shook his head secretly. Those warriors all had thick internal energy, but when they encountered high temperatures, their bodies couldn't take it, "When they encounter difficulties, their internal energy is consumed completely, and they can only wait for death." Teng Qing Shan occasionally took a sip of water.
It doesn't matter if you don't drink water, Mount Qingcheng won't care.
Just don't want others to think it's strange.
This high temperature has no effect on Mount Fuji at all.
"Wow~~~"
Suddenly, a hot air burst forth from the lava lake.
"It's so hot!" Many of the warriors sitting in the inner layer were startled and retreated continuously as they were scorched by the heat.
"At least over a hundred degrees, what's going on?" Teng Qing Shan was also shocked and immediately looked towards the Lava Lake. In the center of the lake, the 'Black Fire Spirit Fruit' that grew on the black giant rock was now faintly emitting waves of red light, sometimes red, sometimes black, with each transformation accompanied by a burst of hot air.
Wow!
Wow!
That surging hot air, no matter how scorching, could not make Wu Zhe retreat.
"The Black Flame Spirit Fruit has ripened!" someone shouted loudly.
The originally quiet underground suddenly became noisy, and even the warriors in the back squeezed forward.
"Hoo-hoo~~~"
That black flame fruit instantly turned completely crimson! Even the surface was burning with flames!
"It's ripe!"
The warriors in the inner circle all stood up, and almost instantly, several figures flew towards the black rocks in the center of the lava lake.
"Get the Ling fruit!"
"Kill them!"
It's rioting!
The warriors behind were not to be outdone, each one trying every means to rush forward. Those who could not rush forward shouted "Kill them" and "Loot", as if afraid that the world would not be chaotic enough. The atmosphere suddenly became frantic. The several figures flying towards the black rock made the atmosphere reach its climax!
"Kill them!"
"Whoosh!" "Boom!" "Plop!"...
In the blink of an eye, flying knives, willow leaf knives and other hidden weapons shot towards the first wave of people rushing towards the black rock. Apart from those hidden weapons, even many masters without hidden weapons simply picked up stones and smashed them over fiercely. The stones thrown by top martial artists were also incredibly powerful.
"Seven people!" Teng Qing Shan stood calmly without moving.
Pong! Pong! Boom!
A burst of chaos, a burst of miserable cries, the seven people flying towards the black rocks, six people were seriously injured and fell into the lava lake on the spot. The seventh person only persisted for an instant, and was immediately hit by a stone on the neck, and the whole person fell down.
Seven people fell into the magma!
In the center of the lava lake, that was golden-colored magma. Those seven people had just fallen in and suddenly burst into flames all over their bodies! At the same time, they also let out mournful and shrill cries!
"Ahh!!!"
The sound was shrill and eerie, as if a ghost was wailing.
"Heh heh~~~" In the golden-yellow magma, in almost an instant, the flesh and skin of those seven people turned to ash, leaving only white bones visible. However, soon even the white bones melted away.
Not even a skeleton remains!
The originally excited and crazy warriors saw this scene, took a deep breath, and the crazy atmosphere suddenly solidified.
……
The eleventh day of the explosion, three chapters are finished!
Tomato says something! (No word count)
Some people say that I'm a loser and have been bullied by the gods all the way to the door.
To be honest, I originally planned to release two chapters a day in September, occasionally bursting out with two or three more. However, the plot is getting intense and exciting, so I thought: "I also can't just not react at all, otherwise someone will say I'm a coward!"
So I also burst out, three chapters a day, and it didn't stop coming down like this.
Chapter 3 was really tiring, sometimes I couldn't write anymore and got stuck, sweating all over my forehead, forcing myself to finish. There were a few days when it was already past one in the morning. My tomatoes didn't want me to update early and rest early? It's just that there was a continuous explosion of work, mentally exhausting. Because I said before, 14 consecutive days of explosive work. So... my tomatoes didn't dare take a day off, no matter how tired they were, they had to hold on.
Originally yesterday was the last day, but since it's already the 28th and there's a double monthly ticket available, I bought one more time.
The divine machine has launched a "break the cauldron and sink the boat, fight to the end" call for monthly votes. I'm ashamed, the tomato pulled in far fewer monthly votes than the divine machine, and was even surpassed by over a thousand monthly votes.
Actually, Tom didn't mind it too much.
However, the book review section is indeed chaotic. Many of Tomato's readers are very angry, thinking that Shen Ji's declaration of pulling votes is excessive and bullying. Other book readers come to me and say I'm a white lotus (a derogatory term), with a tone of disdain, and also scold my readers as immature white lotus readers.
I'm so annoyed!
What book each person likes is none of your business?
You think you're sophisticated, feeling smug and thinking your quality is high. People with high quality would specially come to my place and attack my readers? All I can say is that you're bored out of your mind! At least in terms of quality, you're far inferior to my readers. To those who come to my book review section with a self-satisfied smirk, thinking they have high quality, I'll give you one sentence - Don't pretend to be something you're not, or you'll get struck by lightning!
******
Is Bai small or not?
At least in Tomatoes' view, writing is meant to make every person feel comfortable and understand the story, rather than pretending to be profound.
Entertainment and thinking about surnames are not contradictory.
In warmth and comfort, let everyone feel some of what I want to say, such as affection, friendship, and the indomitable spirit of struggle.
……
Dear readers of Tomato, don't bother with those who come to stir up trouble and scold them. It's not worth ruining your good mood!
In comparison, Tomato hopes that the readers in the book review section will discuss the plot of the book. As for the monthly ticket... Hehe, indeed, Tomato pulled votes, but the monthly ticket didn't go up, and I'm a bit disappointed. However, evaluating whether a book is excellent or not, whether an author is excellent or not.
There are many aspects, subscriptions, click recommendations, collections, bookworm support, search engine rankings and so on. It's not that just because you say he's good, he's good, or just because you say he's bad, he's bad.
Everything will be judged by public opinion.
So, there's no need to fight over monthly tickets until your face turns red and your ears turn crimson.
Of course... as a person, I will have some ambition, so Tomato also shouted: "Readers of Tomato's book, please vote for me with your monthly tickets!" Hmm, if you have monthly tickets, vote; if not, then forget it. No need to accumulate monthly tickets by reckless consumption.
As long as you have a supportive heart for tomatoes, it's done. If you have a monthly ticket, vote with your monthly ticket. If not, recommendation tickets are also fine. Leaving a comment in the book review section is okay too...
