Chapter Twenty-Five: The Underground Lava Lake

  Guo Fei connected his clothes together, curved knife shadow entered the body, transformed into a ninja, and carried the Xuan Tie sword on his back. He made a ring in front of his clothes, swung it with his hand, and instantly threw out the hidden weapon with a technique, hanging the clothes ring on the protruding stone.

  This action seemed unintentional, but it was neat and efficient, done in one breath, shocking Zhao Xue and the others. In their opinion, Guo Fei would have to try many times before he could hang on, but unexpectedly, Guo Fei succeeded at once, and his technique was extremely pure.

  "I'll go first, if there's a way out, I'll pull you up!" Guo Fei nodded, his figure fluttering as he alternated hands to grasp the cloth strip and moved forward, in three or five strides he leaped onto another protruding rock.

  "Cave!" Guo Fei climbed up the rock and took a look, at the bottom of the rock, what seemed to be a recessed place was actually a stone cave. The cave was not big, only allowing one person to crawl in, but it was very deep, extending downward at an angle, with no visible bottom.

  "Should I go in or not, it's a tough decision!" Guo Fei looked at the cave and was also hesitant. He was a cautious person, but when forced into a situation, he wasn't afraid, and the more dangerous the situation, the more careful his thinking became.

  He used to be a good student, but later became a street rascal and even mixed with society for a while, and the mix was very popular, with many younger brothers. Then he reformed and worked hard for half a year to become a university student. These experiences show that Guo Fei is a worldly person who is not respectful, but extremely intelligent, brave, cunning, and loyal, and also has a bit of rebelliousness and arrogance.

  "Come on!" Guo Fei waved at the two of them and handed over the strap.

  Zhao Ba took a glance at the rope, shrank his body and didn't move forward. He wasn't a fool, knowing that Guo Fei had prejudices against him, and was afraid that Guo Fei would take advantage of the situation to throw him off the cliff.

  "Don't worry, I'm here, he can't hurt you!" Zhao Xue said softly, grabbing the rope and shouting upwards, "Pull me up!"

  Zhao Ba's expression eased, and his gaze towards Zhao Xue became distant. He had liked Zhao Xue for a long time and had once tentatively confessed to her, but was rejected by Zhao Xue with a subtle yet clear refusal. However, instead of distancing herself from him, Zhao Xue showed even more care and affection towards him, just like an older sister would towards her younger brother.

  This left Zhao Ba bewildered. Coupled with the fact that Zhao Xue had extremely high prestige in the territory, and even in the military camp, Zhao Ba's admiration for his sister turned into reverence, and even a hint of fear. This was his heart disease, he once thought that only by suppressing Zhao Xue under him would he be able to conquer his own demon this lifetime, so he worked hard to achieve his goal.

  But this goal seems to be moving further and further away from him.

  Zhao Xue was not feeling well, so Guo Fei pulled him up. As for Zhao Ba, he climbed up himself, after all, he was a mid-level Qi cultivator who focused on physical training, and although his physical strength had greatly decreased, he could still barely climb up.

  "It's too dangerous, can't go in!" Zhao Xue looked at the deep and bottomless pit that slanted downwards and shook her head repeatedly. Zhao Ba also retreated a step back, afraid that the pit would suck him in.

  "You're not going in, I'm going in, don't regret it!" Guo Fei said, taking off the connected clothes and putting them on. The two of them also put on their clothes.

  "Whoosh!" A sudden flurry of rapid wingbeats filled the air, and the three turned their heads to see a dark red glow flickering in the sky above. The light was eerily bright against the blackness of night. They counted silently for a moment, and at least a dozen flying undead creatures had arrived.

  Guo Fei didn't say a word, his legs facing forward, hugging the Xuan Tie sword as he jumped into the deep cave. Zhao Xue bit her slightly trembling lips and also followed Guo Fei into the deep cave. Then, Zhao Ba also followed suit and jumped in.

  The hole was like a chimney, with an abnormally smooth inner wall that extended downward at an angle of sixty degrees. Guo Fei jumped in and quickly slid down inside.

  The cave was very long, and after sliding down for half a time, the speed not only got faster and faster, but also rolled up waves of heat below, like boiling water vapor rushing towards me.

  Guo Fei was slightly frightened, his legs spread apart, rubbing against the wall, starting to control the speed of the slide.

  Zhao Xue suddenly rode on Guo Fei's neck, her soft private parts squeezing Guo Fei, making Guo Fei's speed increase a lot.

  "Control the speed!" Guo Fei felt an inexplicable sense of unease in his heart, the temperature was getting higher and higher, unknown dangers were right in front of him.

  Zhao Xue's face turned red, and she subconsciously opened her legs to control the speed, but she had limited strength and ended up riding heavily on Guo Fei's neck. On the other hand, Zhao Ba controlled the speed, slowly following behind Zhao Xue as they slid down.

  Kuo Fei's mind was entirely on the rolling hot waves below, not paying much attention, but as he slowly slid down, he felt the soft "privacy" at his neck, and suddenly his heart skipped a beat, and without realizing it, his speed increased by quite a bit.

  "Focus on controlling your speed. Don't think wildly." Zhao Xue hastily said.

  "Heh heh. Sorry about that, got a bit carried away." Guo Fei smiled wryly and slowed down his descent.

  Three people slowly fell for a full three hours, and a red light shone over from the cave. Guo Fei slowly approached the entrance of the cave. Yu Guang took a look and was shocked, several hundred meters below, a sea of flames like molten rock was boiling, constantly bubbling up.

  The cave wall is so smooth that it's almost impossible to climb back up. Moreover, there are dead spirits above, and the only way out is to move forward. Guo Fei thought for a moment before saying to the two of them: "You control your speed, I'll go take a look at the entrance to see if there's a way out. If we fall down, I estimate that we'll instantly become roasted meat. Hehe."

  "It's all because of you that I can still laugh at this time, it's all your fault!" Zhao Xue said with a forced smile, propping himself up against the wall of the cave.

  Guo Fei ignored her, his feet slowly descended, and he gradually reached the entrance of the cave. He looked out at an angle for a long time, borrowing the light from the lava lake, and found a stone platform slanting down below, not far away, only three meters away. His body suddenly slid down, and in the instant he rushed out of the cave, he pressed his hand, his body flew into the air, and he flipped over and jumped onto the stone platform.

  "Take off your clothes again!" Guo Fei helplessly quickly took off his clothes, twisted them into a rope, threw it into the cave, let Zhao Xue grab it, and then pulled her over. As for Zhao Ba, under Zhao Xue's guidance, he easily jumped over himself.

  After climbing in the cave for a long time, all of his clothes were worn out and full of holes everywhere. But Guo Fei found that Zhao Xue's outer gown was not damaged at all, obviously it was no ordinary clothing.

  This is a huge mountain belly space, below which is a boiling magma lake, and one hundred meters above is the top of the stone cave, all around are black hard rocks. And the stone platform where Guo Fei and others are currently standing is on the protruding rock wall in the middle of this mountain belly.

  Along this protruding rock wall, there is a narrow small path that winds its way forward along the Fire Lake.

  Guo Fei grasped the Xuan Tie sword in his hand and rushed forward, here was like a large harbor, the fire lake below was boiling, and the three of them ran along the cliff wall by the shore of the fire lake.

  "A stone house!" Turning around a mountain bend, a stone house suddenly appeared in front of me, and there was even a shed in front of the stone house.

  Zhao Xue and Zhao Ba's eyes tightened, quickening their pace, trying to overtake Guo Fei, moving forward, looking at the two people's expressions, seemingly wanting to enter this stone house as soon as possible.

  Guo Fei was not stupid either. People living in such an environment were naturally not weak, but looking at the thick layer of volcanic ash accumulated in front of the stone house, it was clear that no one had lived there for a long time. The two of them rushed to go and see if there were any treasures.

  Guo Fei's body suddenly rose, transforming into a residual shadow, and sped away. The two of them closely followed behind, but were much slower than Guo Fei.

  Arriving outside the stone house, Guo Fei took a glance and stepped inside without stopping. Before his eyes was a red rock-carved stone bed, on which lay a skeleton with clothes tightly stuck to its bones. It was clear that it had been there for too long. With a flash of his palm, a gentle breeze blew by, and the clothes turned into flying ash, scattering in all directions.

  A flash of white light, and Guo Fei found that the corpse's finger was wearing a silver-white ring. As the skin had long since rotted away, the ring fell off. The ring looked crystal clear, with many symbols on it, and at first glance, it didn't seem to be an ordinary object. Guo Fei quickly grabbed it and held it in his hand for closer inspection.

  "Kun Kun's ring!" At this time, Zhao Ba and Zhao Xue walked into the stone room with footsteps. Zhao Ba saw Guo Fei's ring at a glance and shouted in surprise.

  Zhao Xue and the other person entered at the same time, and Zhao Xue naturally saw it too. However, she didn't make a sound, but Zhao Ba's shout made Zhao Xue's face sink, and when she looked at Zhao Ba, she revealed a hint of helplessness and anger.

  "Heh heh. Young Master, you're all wealthy, so you wouldn't compete with a poor guy like me for things, and without me, you wouldn't have made it here either, so..." Guo Fei's eyes flashed coldly, extremely overbearing."
