"Is your arm okay?"
Seeing Aiguin's slender arm bearing the weight of three people, Tang En could not help but ask worriedly, even though he knew that she was a legendary master.
Aiguin's ears twitched and replied seriously, "There's no problem at all. But Tang En, why did you put your weapon in your pocket? It's very inconvenient to use — and it keeps poking me. "
Tang En did not know how to answer her question.
Aiguin noticed that Tang En's body temperature was a little abnormal. "You look very hot."
"Of course, even the air in this damn place is boiling!"
How could he not feel hot? Being held in the arms of a beautiful and sexy elf who was only wearing a mage robe, the two of them were already soaked. They were so close together that there was no space between them. They had seen what they should and should not see, touched what they should and should not touch. In addition, the lava below was emitting an astonishing amount of heat, and the water was still flowing down. The sealed cave was almost turning into a sauna.
It would be abnormal if he did not feel hot in such a situation.
"Hold on, Nola. When we find the exit, I'll be able to take you out."
Tang En nodded and did not dare to move.
Because Aiguin's skin was too smooth, he always felt that he could not hold on tightly and kept sliding down.
"I'm back!"
At this time, the little whirlwind scout Nola came back and happily pointed diagonally ahead. "There's a passage there that leads to another cave. It should be the exit!"
"There? Understood. "
Aiguin confirmed the direction and then said to Tang En, "Tang En, can you get on my back?"
"Uh, okay."
Tang En scrambled to climb onto Aiguin's back and hurriedly touched Aiguin's chest, but she did not seem to care.
Might as well not wash his hands this month … Tang En quickly threw this terrible idea away.
"Hold on tight — will you put your cudgel in your storage ring?"
Aiguín suggested to Tang En. Because the hard stick kept poking her there, it made her feel very awkward to move.
"This … Let me try."
Tang En took a deep breath and tried to recall something in his mind. The effect was immediate. After a shiver, he immediately went limp.
"Thank you."
Aiguín thanked him politely and then pushed off the wall. She pulled out her Dragonsteel sword and shot forward like an arrow!
However, perhaps because they were carrying Tang En on their backs, the two of them fell down before they reached their destination. Below them was rolling lava.
Tang En's eyes widened. His heart was about to collapse.
He couldn't be that unlucky, right?
Instead of being killed by an expert, he had fallen here?
Forget it. Even if he died, he could die together with Aiguín. He could be considered a pair of mandarin ducks that lived and died together.
Tang En sighed. Just as he was about to welcome the embrace of the hot lava, he suddenly found that the two of them were flying again!
He looked down and saw the Dragonsteel sword slowly being swallowed by the lava. He was shocked. "Why did you throw your sword away!?"
Aiguín ignored him. When they were hanging on the other side of the wall again, she explained, "The lava below is composed of pure fire elements. Even if it's me, I won't be able to protect you from the fire elements if I come into direct contact with it. We have to use a carrier to help us jump away from the fire elements."
"Even so, there's no need to use your sword …"
Tang En watched the sword being swallowed by the lava. "That's your beloved sword …"
"But Tang En, didn't you use the same precious materials to refine the potion for me?"
Aiguín's ears twitched and she smiled. "In order to protect a friend, this is what I should do, right?"
Tang En was speechless. What could he say? Looking at Aiguín's side profile, his heart was filled with gratitude.
In the future, he would definitely forge two better weapons for her! Tang En secretly swore in his heart.
Aiguín didn't say anything else. She looked around again. This time, they were still quite far away from the cave entrance. It was expected that they would fall again along the way.
Aiguín didn't hesitate. After locking onto their destination, she directly jumped out. When they fell, she threw away the second Dragonsteel sword without hesitation. She stepped on the sword with the tip of her foot and the two of them rose up again. With a roll, they entered the tunnel!
Tang En looked back and saw the Dragonsteel sword being slowly swallowed by the lava. He felt guilty. He looked at Aiguín and found that she was also looking at her weapon. There was a trace of loneliness in her eyes.
After all, it was a companion that had accompanied her for many years. Even if it was only a weapon, she still had feelings for it.
Tang En sighed. "Ai, if only Nola could fly us over."
Nola angrily reprimanded Tang En with her hands on her hips. "Don't make things difficult for me! You have to know that I'm trying my best to help you! "
"Yes, yes …"
Tang En looked at the lonely Aiguín for a moment. Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration. He turned to look at Nola. "I remember that the Fey race can adapt to any environment, right?"
Nola proudly raised her head. "That's right! That's a specialty that we're proud of! "
"So, it's fine even if we drill into the lava?"
"Of course, it's fine even if we swim in it! I've played in the Fire Elemental Plane before — ugh! "
At this point, Nola finally understood what Tang En meant. The little girl angrily glared at Tang En with her hands on her hips. Tang En just looked at her with a smile.
"Okay, okay! I know! Hmph, Aiguín is my friend! Helping a friend is what I should do! "
Nola hummed and flew into the lava cave. Tang En was completely relaxed. If he had thought of this earlier, he wouldn't have had to carry such a heavy psychological burden.
Aiguín stared blankly as Nola drilled into the lava. After a while, she reacted in surprise. "So it can be done like this …"
When Aiguín used the Dragon Steel sword as a stepping stone, she didn't think that she could take back her weapon. If it weren't for Tang En's crafty ideas, she might have been depressed for a long time.
"I didn't think of it at first …"
Tang En smiled very shyly. "I don't know how I came up with this idea."
Aiguín sincerely thanked Tang En. "Tang En, thank you."
Tang En said shyly, "As long as you're happy."
"I'm very happy. I'm really grateful to you, my best friend."
It took a while for Nora to fly back, with the Dragonsteel Longsword that had been burnt by the fire element hanging below her small body.
"I found one."
"It's so hot!"
Tang En threw the sword to the ground as soon as he took it. It was soaked in the lava for a while, so the temperature was shockingly high.
After a while, Nola picked up the second Dragon Steel sword. Aiguín couldn't help but smile in surprise.
"See! Nola is still the best! "
Looking at the proud Nola, Tang En suddenly said, "Actually, think about it. Aiguín, you didn't have to throw the sword down just now."
"Hmm?"
Aiguín was puzzled.
Tang En glanced at Nola. "Actually, Nola can also step on the ground, right? And she can fly back by herself. It's convenient to take it back. "
Nola was confused for a while before she understood Tang En's intention. She immediately rushed up to him and pulled his hair. "Tang En is a big idiot! I'll bite you! I'll really bite you! "
Aiguín shook her head very seriously. "Elves will never trample on their friends. Don't say such things in the future."
Tang En was embarrassed. "I was just joking …"
Hearing him say this, Aiguín's face softened a little. She looked at Tang En with an apologetic expression. "Sorry, I was too serious. I still can't understand the human's sense of humor …"
"Okay, I know. I won't joke around in the future."
Tang En had a deeper understanding of Aiguín's character. As long as he didn't touch the bottom line of the Elves, she wouldn't care too much.
It seemed that the Elves and humans had different shame points. Uh, then again, did the Elves have any shame points? Tang En had touched her chest just now, and she didn't care too much about it. He had seen her entire body before, and she didn't take it to heart.
Was it because he was a friend that she didn't mind, or was it because the Elves didn't have the shame of having their privacy exposed?
In any case, Tang En had never seen Aiguín shy before.
After resting here for a while, they continued to go deeper into the cave. Soon, the temperature returned to normal.
After a few turns, the front suddenly opened up. The winding path leading to the opposite side had unfathomable underground canyons on both sides. One wrong step and they would fall to pieces. But it wasn't just that. There was a fierce hurricane in the canyons on both sides, and the whole cave was filled with ear-piercing roars. With this kind of wind speed, even a boulder would be blown away immediately!
"Sure enough, there is wind under fire …"
Tang En had no strength to complain. What was hidden in this damn underground maze? If this went on, they might really die here.
"But is it just wind?"
Tang En was puzzled. Based on the previous situation, wasn't this level too simple?
Seeing a stone next to him, Tang En picked it up and threw it forward.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh —"
The invisible wind blade instantly turned the rock into powder.
Tang En immediately broke out in a sweat. Fortunately, he didn't foolishly walk over just now.
"Let's go."
Aiguín took Tang En's hand and planned to go in.
Tang En was startled. "Are we going to walk in just like that?"
Aiguín nodded. "Compared to before, this kind of pure test of strength is simpler."
The frightened Tang En followed behind Aiguín on the winding path. Immediately, countless wind blades came at them.
Aiguín didn't even deliberately deal with them. She just released her own strength, and those wind blades were all blocked outside.
Even the strong wind that blew from time to time couldn't make Aiguín's steady footsteps sway. She steadily led Tang En through the canyon without encountering any difficulties.
Of course, this was because Aiguín's strength was there. If it were other people, they would have died halfway before reaching here.
"I'm getting more and more curious about this place. The deeper we go, the stronger the surrounding elemental power. Now, we are almost certain that the source of the elemental erosion of the Pale Forest is here."
Aiguín's senses always seemed to be very sharp. As soon as she finished speaking, the elemental power became stronger. They saw the reason in the blink of an eye.
