They saw a vortex appear in the desert beneath them. The surrounding sand was surging towards the vortex.
The middle-aged man revealed an excited look. "This is … the phenomenon of the birth of a treasure!"
He never expected that the phenomenon would appear just as they decided to leave quickly! This was truly a glimmer of hope at the darkest hour! Furthermore, the phenomenon happened to appear right beneath their feet. With that, the other warriors had no time to vie for it.
"This is a phenomenon …" The black-dressed woman looked at the vortex beneath her in astonishment.
For such a scene to appear, it was indeed as though a treasure was about to be born.
As for the young disciples, they turned excited after a moment of surprise.
"Ah? Phenomenon? "Ru'er covered her mouth.
The heavens must have heard her prayers and told the Red Cauldron Sect not to be so unlucky.
The middle-aged man was already disheartened but at that moment, he felt hope reignite in his heart.
Gradually, the tremors came to a stop. However, the middle-aged man had already memorized the vortex's location.
He carefully probed the vortex. It was extremely quiet, as though there was nothing abnormal about it. When he stabbed it with his sword, there was no reaction from the vortex.
"It's safe. The treasure is probably still underground. We have to quickly obtain the treasure before the other warriors rush over," said the middle-aged man.
When the other disciples saw the middle-aged man probe the vortex, they eagerly surrounded him when they heard him say so.
"Everyone, let's work together and dig out the treasure," said the middle-aged man.
"Alright!"
However, at that moment, a tremendous suction force suddenly came from beneath them. All of them plummeted into the vortex.
Without needing to dig, they had already fallen into the vortex!
Amidst the screams, the Red Cauldron Sect group fell into a gigantic hole.
And the sand around the vortex churned, burying the terrifying hole once again. In the vast expanse of yellow sand, the hole was as tiny as a speck of dust. It was completely inconspicuous.
"Ah, ah, ah!"
Amidst the screams, Ru'er did not know how deep she had fallen. All she could hear was the howling of the wind in her ears as she constantly plummeted. The terrifying heat constantly assailed her protective Yuan Qi, preventing her from stopping.
This was a naturally formed gigantic Yuan Qi vortex. The terrifying suction force prevented them from resisting it, nor did they allow them to fly.
The pure Yang Yuan Qi in the Sun Burial Sandsea outside was beginning to weaken, but it was extremely strong inside.
"Second Martial Uncle, Sixth Martial Uncle!"
Some of the younger generation shouted. However, in this situation, the two martial uncles were not much more relaxed than these young disciples.
The middle-aged man kept urging his Yuan Qi, but he only managed to slow down his falling speed slightly. As for the black-dressed woman, she was in a similar situation.
The two of them were in such a state that they simply had no time to care about the young disciples.
Gradually, Ru 'er saw red flames appear below. It was like hell.
As for the so-called treasure, he did not see it at all.
I wonder if it's a blessing or a curse to be suddenly sucked into this place. I wonder if I can find any fortuitous encounters, Ru 'er thought nervously.
Bang, bang, bang!
The sound of disciples landing on the ground continued to ring out. Each and every one of the disciples felt pain all over their bodies.
The middle-aged man and the black-dressed woman also landed on the ground. Both of them had ugly expressions on their faces.
Although they had tried their best to use their Yuan Qi to help these disciples when they landed, from such a high place, being pulled down by a terrifying Yuan Qi suction force still caused these disciples to fall uncontrollably.
And when they looked up, they could not see any cave entrance. All they could see was some yellow sand falling from above.
As for this place …
Ru 'er's body hurt from the fall as well. When she stood up, her heart skipped a beat when she saw the scene in front of her.
The tumbling magma, the rocks that had been burned red, and the terrifying pure Yang energy made their protective Yuan Qi melt like snow. They would not be able to stay in such a place for long before they were burned by the heat poison, dying an extremely painful death.
Just thinking of how she would be reduced to a dried husk in this bottomless abyss, Ru 'er revealed a look of despair. "Martial Uncle …"
"Martial Uncle, there's nothing we can do either." The middle-aged man's feelings were similar to Ru 'er's. If he was alone, he could barely crawl back the way he came. However, it was completely impossible with so many disciples in tow.
At this moment, these disciples were looking at him and the black-dressed woman in panic. However, they did not know that the two of them were also very uneasy.
"Everyone, conjure up your Yuan Qi barrier and walk closer. We have to conserve our Yuan Qi. Let's walk around and see if there's any other way out, "said the black-dressed woman.
She and the middle-aged man also had to conserve their Yuan Qi, so they only left their Yuan Qi on the surface of their skin. This method could not isolate the heat waves at all. It was still unbearably hot.
"Yes, with the two Martial Uncles around, we should be able to walk out, right?"
"It should be possible. We might even be able to find treasures."
The words of these young disciples made the middle-aged man and the black-dressed woman involuntarily exchange looks. They could see the bitterness in each other's eyes.
In such a place, even people whose strength far exceeded theirs would not be able to handle it, much less them.
Deep underground, the magma river was surging violently.
Ru 'er wiped the sweat from her forehead and slowly walked forward with the two Martial Uncles, as well as her senior brothers and sisters.
They had already been walking along the magma river underground for three days. The magma river was the only 'path' they had found.
Underground, only the holes formed by the magma could barely be called a path. The only source of light was the burning magma. However, as they walked, they did not see any hope of walking out.
"Junior Sister Ru 'er." A senior sister's eyes flashed a gloomy look. "We probably won't be able to walk out. I never expected that we would end up dying here. In this place, even our corpses will not be discovered. Without the natural treasures we are searching for, the Red Cauldron Sect will continue to decline. Sect Master will not wake up, so even if we have the Soul Nurturing Wood, it will be meaningless. "
"No, Senior Sister Luo, don't give up." As Ru 'er spoke, she secretly raised her hand to wipe the corners of her eyes.
In fact, she knew that it was already very difficult for them to walk out of the underground. They had fallen hundreds of thousands of feet deep, but now, she could not sense that they were walking towards the surface. Furthermore, the pure Yang energy and heat poison underground were constantly corroding their protective Yuan Qi. Even if there was a way out, they probably could not last long enough to find one.
Upon realizing that she was about to die, Ru 'er could not help but want to cry out loud. She did not want to die.
It was not only Ru 'er. The others from the Red Cauldron Sect were also feeling extreme despair. They originally thought that they had a glimmer of hope, but why was this the outcome?
The underground was like a purgatory. It silently devoured them without anyone knowing.
The middle-aged man and the black-dressed woman had heavy expressions as well. The pure Yang laws here were rich and there were many chaotic laws. It made it difficult for them to determine their direction, nor did they have the means to break through the ground to escape.
It was truly a land of death.
Boom! Boom!
At that moment, there was a faint rumble of thunder in front of them.
The middle-aged man immediately raised his head. Why was this sound so similar to the sound they had heard coming from underground before they fell down?
Could it be that after going in circles, they had returned to the region from before?
"Let's go over and take a look," said the black-dressed woman softly.
They had fallen to the ground because of the phenomenon caused by the commotion. Now that they were about to die, there was nothing to be afraid of even if the place where the sound came from was dangerous.
As they continued proceeding forward, the rumble of thunder grew louder. However, why would such a sound come from deep underground?
Soon, they arrived at a relatively large underground cave. The first thing they saw was a dark golden churning magma pool. The pool was extremely turbulent and the heat it emitted made their skin burn. It made it difficult for them to approach.
But immediately following that, Ru 'er widened her eyes. She pointed at the magma pool and opened her tiny mouth.
"Martial Aunt, Senior Sister, look!"
Ru 'er could not believe her eyes. She originally believed that there were only people from the Red Cauldron Sect in this godforsaken place. She never expected that there would be people here as well!
Of the two, one was lying on a rock to the side while the other was soaking in the deep pool.
In fact, the burly middle-aged man and the black-dressed woman had already noticed these two figures the moment they entered the cave.
However, the figure lying on the rock did not show any signs of life. As for the deep pool, how could there be a living person soaking in it?
"So," the middle-aged man sighed. "There are people as unlucky as us. The one lying there looks like a young girl but from the looks of it, she is probably dead. As for the one in the pool … he must have experienced immense pain before he died. "
When the black-dressed woman saw the two, she felt as though she was sharing the same fate.
As for Ru 'er, her heart was heavy. In their present situation, it was impossible for them to approach the deep pool. It was also impossible for them to help retrieve the corpses of the two people who had met with misfortune.
But at that moment, the figure soaking in the pool suddenly stood up. His body emitted a series of rumbling thunder. There was even a sharp howl coming from his body!
The man turned his head and opened his eyes to face them.
It was a pair of calm eyes. And in the depths of his eyes, there were two gray flames that were pulsing in a strange manner.
This gaze left the people from the Red Cauldron Sect astounded!
It turned out that he was a living person!
Furthermore, he looked extremely young, like a youth. He was not much older than juniors like them.
Heavens, he lived in this place? Cultivated? From the looks of it, he had been here for a very long time.
And what was up with the young girl in front of him?
