The time that Fang Longqi bought for him was long gone. Chen Xiaobei had cleared the first few stages, and the thirty minutes he spent concocting pills and crafting equipment.
By now, a large group of people had gathered outside the grotto-heaven where the ten-thousand-year-old Infernal Spirit was.
Though they were still some distance away from the grotto-heaven, the heatwave was already so terrifying that no one dared to get close.
The 600 Golden Core disciples were all huddled at the back, using their Ethereal Force to protect themselves, along with antipyretic pills and Freezing Talismans to withstand the heat.
The 380 Original Infant Cultivation elites were also huddled at the back.
Only Fang Longqi and the nine Original Infant Cultivation elites, with the protection of their family's powerful Earth-God Instruments, dared to stand at the front of the crowd.
"This place is so strange! It's been so peaceful up ahead! Nothing happened! How did such a terrifying grotto-heaven appear out of nowhere? "
A man with shoulder-length hair frowned and said anxiously, "Young Master Fang! Can you tell what's going on? Can we barge into this grotto-heaven? "
Fang Longqi shook his head. "I'm not sure … This heatwave is just too scary! Though we all have powerful Earth-God Instruments, I can't guarantee that we can suppress the source of this heat! "
The long-haired man narrowed his eyes. "Why don't we find a few idiots to be cannon fodder? Let them try it out first! "
Fang Longqi shook his head. "Even a real idiot would not dare to enter such a terrifying place! Everyone who came this time is smart. Who would agree to be cannon fodder? "
"Isn't that simple?"
The long-haired man grinned. "Just find a few people and threaten them! They can either be cannon fodder to scout the way and be rewarded handsomely when the job is done! Or they can be killed by us and die a horrible death! Either way, at least they have a chance to live if they become cannon fodder! They should know what to choose! "
Fang Longqi narrowed his eyes. "Si Xia Yu! You even brought along the deputy leader's grandson! You're not treating the disciples as human beings! "
The long-haired man, Si Xia Yu, was stunned and amused. "Young Master Fang! Are you sick? You're a guy who doesn't shrink from any crime, when did you start to care about the disciples in the sect? "
"I …" Fang Longqi stared blankly and was at a loss for words.
"Don't play dumb with me!" Si Xia Yu sneered, "The lives of the weak are as cheap as wild grass, not worth treasuring at all!"
"Let me think about it!" Fang Longqi frowned and looked at the back of the crowd.
Clearly, Fang Longqi had tasted Chen Xiaobei's dog food before. He had to seek Chen Xiaobei's opinion before making such a big decision.
When Fang Longqi looked over, No.8 Luban's gaze landed on him as well and he nodded at him.
"Strange … Master was so far away, he couldn't have heard my conversation with Si Xia Yu. How did he know what I wanted to ask?"
Fang Longqi was puzzled, but No.8 Luban's eyes and actions clearly showed his support.
In actual fact, Chen Xiaobei had already come out from the Sumeru Space. With the help of his Special Ability, he was able to hear the conversation between Fang Longqi and Si Xia Yu.
No.8 Luban nodded in agreement because Chen Xiaobei was able to control it from afar.
"Young Master Fang! Have you made up your mind? "
Si Xia Yu said impatiently. "This damn place is so hot! Our Ethereal Force Armor is activated all the time. We won't last long!"
"Alright! We'll do as you say! "Fang Longqi nodded.
Si Xia Yu raised an eyebrow and walked towards the crowd. Before long, he brought ten people with him.
These ten people were newcomers to the Pearl Hall through the selection process. They had no foundation in the Pearl Hall and no connections.
Si Xia Yu chose them as cannon fodder. Even if they all died, they would not offend the Pearl Hall. It was a smart move.
Moreover, as newcomers, they wanted to perform well and gain Fang Longqi and Si Xia Yu's recognition. With a backer, they would have a much easier time in the Pearl Hall!
That was why they put in more effort when they moved!
Of course, the most important thing was that these ten people's cultivation had reached early or mid-phase Nascent Soul stage. After entering the magma cave, they could at least survive for a while and do their best to investigate the situation.
If the Golden Core disciples went in, they would die instantly. They would not even be able to do their job.
"The ten of you, listen up!"
Si Xia Yu narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice, "I chose you all to scout the path ahead! Get ready, we're leaving now! "
Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
"Senior Brother Si! Are you joking? The magma cave ahead is terrifyingly hot! We can't even stand it from afar. How would we dare to go in? "
"Senior Brother Si … I don't dare to carry out this mission. Please choose someone else!"
"This is playing with our lives … we don't dare to carry out this mission … let's retreat first! Please forgive us, Senior Brother … "
Without a doubt, none of them were idiots. Even if they thought with their toes, they knew that once they entered the magma cave, only death awaited them.
No matter how much they wanted to please Si Xia Yu, none of them dared to take the risk.
"Stop!"
Si Xia Yu shouted coldly. "This mission was decided by Young Master Fang and me! Whoever dares to defy us is not giving us face! That means they are our enemies! "
"This …" When the ten people heard this, their hearts instantly turned cold.
Everyone knew that in the Pearl Hall, whoever dared to offend Fang Longqi and Si Xia Yu would be severely punished even if they survived.
These ten people were newcomers to the Pearl Hall and had yet to gain a firm foothold. If they offended these two fiends, they could forget about staying in the Pearl Hall in the future.
However, Si Xia Yu followed up with another sentence, causing the hearts of these ten people to turn completely cold!
"I'll say this here. If anyone dares to take even half a step back, Young Master Fang and I will immediately attack and kill him! If you don't believe me, try retreating! "
Si Xia Yu narrowed his eyes and scanned the crowd with a murderous look. His blatant threat completely cut off their path of retreat.
Everyone was in despair. In front of them was the terrifying magma cave, and behind them was Si Xia Yu and Fang Longqi's butcher's knife. No matter how they chose, they would die!
"Be good and listen to me!"
Si Xia Yu laughed sinisterly. "You might not die if you go ahead and scout! As long as you find anything, I will give you a great merit! You will be heavily rewarded later! Otherwise, I can only let you have a taste of my Si family's Nine Bends White Bone Whip! "
"Nine … Nine Bends White Bone Whip!" The crowd gasped. "That's the Si family's most precious treasure, a Seven-star Earth-God grade weapon with terrifying power! With one lash of the whip, we will all explode and die without a complete corpse! "
"Good that you know!"
Si Xia Yu grinned. "I'll give you five seconds. If you don't enter the magma cave, you will die under my whip!"
