According to the knowledge that Teng Qingshan had learned in his previous life, the magma layer was usually more than ten thousand meters underground. Of course, there were some special areas where the magma would appear in shallower areas. However, this was the land of the Nine Prefectures. It was hard to say if he could apply the knowledge from his previous life on Earth. These thoughts of Teng Qingshan only flashed through his mind for a moment.
"Lead the way." Teng Qingshan shouted.
"Okay, okay." The lean man walked along the side of the magma tunnel. However, he was at least a few Zhang away from the edge of the magma. This was because the closer he got, the more terrifying the heat was.
"Qingshan, this place is so hot." Teng Qinghu's forehead was full of sweat.
Teng Qingshan continued to walk calmly. He was only one to two Zhang away from the magma. He could clearly feel the waves of heat from the magma invading his body. "The temperature of this heat is estimated to be around 100 degrees Celsius! It is indeed difficult for a normal warrior to withstand this temperature. "
A hundred degrees Celsius heat was nothing to Teng Qingshan's terrifying body.
Perhaps, the temperature of the magma was the only thing that could threaten Teng Qingshan. One must know that Teng Qingshan's body was tougher than alloys and steel. He was not even afraid of a First Rated Warrior's sword. With such a terrifying body, the temperature that it could withstand was terrifying.
"My lords, the surroundings of the underground magma is too hot and makes one extremely thirsty." The lean man continued to speak. "Yes, there is still about two Li ahead of us. The Black Fire Spirit Fruit is located. However, it is even hotter there."
"Two Li?" Teng Qingshan ordered, "Let's hurry up."
"Yes." The lean man immediately increased his speed.
As he ran, Teng Qingshan looked at the surroundings. Around the lava flow, the rocks and other solid objects were dark black. As for the mountain walls at the side, the surface was faintly half-white. Teng Qingshan walked over and touched it with his hand. Gravel powder rolled down. Of course, other than the surface, the inner layer was still very hard.
Furthermore — —
Beside the lava flow, there was not only a path, but also a tunnel. However, the deeper one went, the darker it became. It was impossible to tell what was in the depths.
"Where does this tunnel lead to?" Teng Qingshan asked.
"I don't know. I don't dare to wander into those damned places. When he came down, he just walked along the path of the lava. I know, it's easier to go back this way, and it won't be easy to get lost. "The lean man said," The further we go, the hotter it gets. The location of the Black Fire Spirit Fruit is the hottest! "
They moved forward along the winding lava river.
Gradually, Teng Qingshan discovered, "Huh? Did the lava change color? When I came down, I saw red lava. I didn't notice it on the way here, but it's already orange. "Teng Qingshan could clearly feel the heat getting stronger.
"The Black Fire Spirit Fruit is in front," the lean man said.
"Black Fire Spirit Fruit!" Du Hong and Teng Qinghu's eyes also lit up as they sped up.
The further they went, the higher the temperature.
After another turn, Teng Qingshan and the rest arrived at a very spacious area. The original lava river had turned into a "Lava Lake". It was a nearly circular lava lake that was more than ten Zhang wide. The lava at the edge of the Lava Lake was orange in color. The closer it was to the center of the lake, the more it slowly turned golden. Especially at the center, it was actually a dazzling white!
In the center of the lake, there was actually a black stone. On the black stone, there was a transparent Spirit Root, black leaves, and a black fruit.
Almost all of the Spirit Root was inside the stone. Only a very short section of the Spirit Root protruded from the surface of the stone. It was mainly the leaves and the fruit.
At first glance, this black fruit was very ordinary and inconspicuous.
"Gurgle ~ ~ ~"
The surroundings of the stone in the center of the lake were like spring water, constantly flowing with lava. The flowing lava was white, so white that it was dazzling! It was like looking up at the sun, dazzling!
"That white magma is magma at an extremely high temperature! The more it flows out, the lower the temperature, and the color gradually changes. " Teng Qingshan stared at the dazzling white lava. "Under the black stone, there must be a lava tunnel that leads to the depths of the earth. The lava is gushing out from below! The temperature of this white lava is astonishing! "
The red lava even made Teng Qingshan think of trying to immerse his body in the lava.
Of course, it was just a thought.
However …
Looking at the dazzling white lava, Teng Qingshan didn't even dare to have that thought. "Even with my body, once I enter this white lava, I definitely won't be able to withstand it." There was no need to try. Just by looking at the dazzling lava that was as white as the sun, Teng Qingshan understood.
"Under the white lava, the black stone in the center of the lake not only didn't melt or change shape, but even its color didn't change! It's definitely not an ordinary stone. "Teng Qingshan understood that the black stone should also be a treasure.
However …
The black stone was in the center of the lake, and its volume was so large. No one knew how much the black stone was hidden at the bottom of the lava flow.
There was no way to move it!
"That Spirit Root, to be able to grow on such a stone, it must be extraordinary."
… …
Just as Teng Qingshan and the other two were staring at the lava lake and sighing, the lean man gritted his teeth and dashed towards the dark tunnel at the side.
"Commandant! That kid ran away. "Du Hong shouted and chased after him.
When the lean man ran towards the tunnel, Teng Qingshan also reacted and chased after him. However, when Teng Qingshan and Du Hong reached the entrance of the tunnel, they saw the lean man turn into an unknown tunnel.
"You stay here, I'll chase after him." Teng Qingshan ordered.
"Yes." Du Hong replied.
Everyone knew that the lean man knew where the Black Fire Spirit Fruit was, and they must not let him escape. Otherwise, the Gui Yuan Sect wouldn't be able to obtain the Black Fire Spirit Fruit and the Black Fire Spirit Root so easily.
… …
In the dark tunnel, whenever there was another fork in the road, the lean man would run with his head lowered. "Follow the lava and run forward. They will definitely be able to catch up to me! Previously, I didn't have the chance to escape in the white fog region. Now, I can only escape into this tunnel. It's pitch black inside. Maybe I have a chance to escape! "
He closed his eyes and ran around.
Teng Qingshan occasionally ran and occasionally stopped. In his mind, he still remembered, "Left, left, right, left …" Actually, in terms of speed, Teng Qingshan was faster than the other party. However, it was pitch black inside the tunnel. When the other party turned, Teng Qingshan couldn't see the other party clearly. Teng Qingshan could only use his ears to listen.
Therefore, he slowed down.
"Hmm …" Teng Qingshan stood at a fork in the road and listened carefully. The sound of running came from the front, but in front of him was a cliff.
"Which way should I go?" Teng Qingshan had been trained as an assassin, so it wasn't a problem for him to remember these simple routes.
Suddenly —
Teng Qingshan's right foot was like a phantom as it heavily kicked the mountain rock in front of him. "Peng!" The mountain rock directly exploded. The mountain rock that was more than one Zhang thick was directly kicked away by Teng Qingshan. A large number of broken rocks also fell from above. However, Teng Qingshan only needed to use the Transmutation Unity Law in his hand to easily shake off all the rocks.
The passage that was more than one Zhang thick, which was enough for a person to pass through, was kicked open by Teng Qingshan.
Walking over, Teng Qingshan listened again.
… …
"Run, run! This damn place is pitch black. It would be strange if the people from the Gui Yuan Sect could find me. " The lean man's face revealed a trace of a smile. "Later, I will slowly find the way out." Just when he was feeling relaxed, suddenly —
"Hu!"
A fishy smell filled the air. Before the lean man could react, he felt intense pain all over his body and lost consciousness.
His red pupils scanned the surroundings. A huge black creature slowly walked out of its original nest. Its huge body, which was two Zhang tall and four to five Zhang long, was shocking. It was the Red Scaled Beast! However, the current Red Scaled Beast was much stronger than it was a month ago.
Postliminary Realm experts posed no threat to the current Red Scaled Beast.
Advancing step by step, it was so light that it didn't make a single sound.
The Red Scaled Beast's four hooves were gentle, like a Kitten moving forward, making no sound.
After walking for a while, the Red Scaled Beast turned around a corner and discovered a figure in the distance. That familiar figure was holding the spear that had injured it before. The Red Scaled Beast's cold red pupils shrank and it immediately retreated.
Teng Qingshan suddenly turned his head to look!
"Hmm?"
Teng Qingshan immediately fled at lightning speed. In a short while, he had reached the corner and looked to both sides.
"There's no one?" Teng Qingshan frowned. "My intuition shouldn't be wrong!"
In his previous life, those secret agents couldn't even get close to Teng Qingshan. In this life, when he was ten years old, no one could escape Teng Qingshan's detection from the ambush of mounted bandits. Although the Red Scaled Beast only took a glance and immediately retreated, Teng Qingshan was still able to detect it in an instant.
"Hmm?" Teng Qingshan held onto the Reincarnation Spear and looked to both sides of the fork. "There's no movement at all …"
After a long while, Teng Qingshan could only choose to retreat.
However, he didn't know that the lean man had already become the Red Scaled Beast's meal.
… …
After a long while, the Red Scaled Beast once again advanced into the gloomy labyrinth. The Red Scaled Beast was naturally used to dark and hot environments. In this tunnel without any light, Teng Qingshan could at most see ten meters away. However, the Red Scaled Beast could see as if it was daytime. This was the unique ability of its eyes.
Its nose was also very sensitive. Following the scent, the Red Scaled Beast easily followed the path that Teng Qingshan had taken.
After a while, the Red Scaled Beast stopped at a spot.
This was the spot where Teng Qingshan had kicked away the thick mountain rock. The rock that was over one Zhang thick would probably be difficult for any Postliminary Realm warrior to break through. However, Teng Qingshan had been able to kick it away. One must know that the strength of a human's legs was usually higher than the strength of their arms.
Teng Qingshan's arms had a strength of 180,000 Jin, so his legs were even more terrifying!
However, his hands could use weapons and condense the distance into a 'spear tip'. When the spear tip touched the spear tip, it could gather such a frightening force, so its power was naturally great. In terms of wielding weapons, the legs couldn't compare to the hands. However, in terms of strength, the legs were naturally stronger than the hands.
Previously, when Teng Qingshan faced the Frost Jade Pool's Flood Dragon, he had also been able to escape with his life by kicking it away.
The strength of one kick was at least two to three hundred thousand Jin.
The strength of this kick was naturally enough to kick away this rock!
The Red Scaled Beast was very familiar with its own lair. Before today, this place definitely hadn't been destroyed.
The Red Scaled Beast raised its huge head and stared at the path that Teng Qingshan had left in. Its pair of red pupils had already contracted. Its intelligence was not inferior to that of a normal human. From this frightening hole, it determined that … its human enemy possessed a frightening strength that was enough to threaten it!
