The group no longer dared to hesitate when they saw how serious Mofan was.
If a money-grubbing person like Mofan was willing to give up so decisively, it meant that something terrifying was about to happen.
"Quick, quick!" Mofan kept moving with the Shadow Element while urging the others to hurry up.
Zhao Manyan, Zhang Xiaohou, and Chen Ying retraced their steps. Even though they were confused, they still made their way down the mountain as fast as they could …
"Holy crap, since when is the lava so full?"
Suddenly, a bright red carpet of flames appeared in front of everyone. It seemed to be blocking everyone's way back.
"Are you an idiot or something? The lava isn't flowing down like a normal stream. There's a huge amount of lava pouring down from above us!" Mo Fan cursed as he ran.
When they walked past this place, the molten lava was just spring water, hidden in the crevices of the rocks and the ravines of the mountain walls. It posed no threat to them as they walked up the winding mountain path. But now, the molten lava had overflowed onto the path...
It was obvious that the lava was pouring down, and the speed and volume of the lava were increasing. Otherwise, the lava flowing down the ravines would not have spilled out.
It was fine if the lava was spilling out, but it had accumulated so much in such a short period of time. If it somehow filled up a narrow opening, the lava would simply flow up from there …
Once the lava filled up the entire path, the group of people who were stuck halfway down the mountain would be drowned in the lava. There would be no escape for them!
"F * * k me, this place has turned into a small pond!" blurted out Zhang Xiaohou in shock.
"A huge amount of lava is flowing down from above …"
"Did you guys hear that?"
"Who cares about the sound now?" snapped Zhao Manyan.
"No, it's another sound."
As they were running down the path, the group suddenly heard a loud rumble coming from above them. The source of the sound was still a distance away, so it sounded rather weak.
Chen Yi purposely stopped and leaned against the wall to eavesdrop.
"Thump ~ Thump ~ Thump ~ Thump ~ Thump ~"
Chen Ying's face immediately turned pale. She turned around to look at the group. Everyone could see the panic and fear in her eyes!
Chen Ying did not need to say anything. Everyone knew what was going on …
It was lava!
The lava was pouring down the winding mountain path like a flood. The roar of the lava mixed with the sound of the lava waves slamming against the wall, forming the terrifying sound that Chen Yi heard while she was leaning against the wall. Translator: XephiZ Editor: DOCuinn
What kind of tunnel was this? Everyone had personally experienced it. If a huge amount of liquid really poured down from above, they would die without a burial ground!!
Everyone finally understood why Mo Fan had suddenly asked them to turn around and leave. If they were any slower, they would have all died in the lava …
…
However, they had underestimated the speed at which the lava flowed, or perhaps they had underestimated the height at which they were climbing. Along the way, they had yet to reach the bottom. Many places that they had passed by had already been filled with pools of lava.
More terrifyingly, the rumbling behind them was getting louder. Even the path inside the mountain was trembling!
"Clang! Clang! "
At this moment, the strange metallic screech resounded. Under such circumstances, no one would pay attention to the damned screech. However, when they discovered that the narrow cave entrance leading to the spacious mountain path below was blocked by a creature wrapped in fiery red armor, everyone cried out in alarm.
"Damn it, what the hell is blocking my path!" Zhao Manyan yelled hysterically.
That was the Gate of Life! The flaming armored monster was lying there, not only blocking everyone's escape route, but it was also causing the lava to continuously accumulate and fill up the Gate of Life!
The lava was unable to flow down, so it could only spread upwards. As a result, the area had turned into a lava pool with a radius of ten meters!
The fiery armored creature did not seem to be afraid of the lava. It was only lying in the only path leading down! Two round heads that were wrapped in armor were exposed from the narrow opening of his body.
It had two faces, one that looked like a human and the other a beast. Its wide mouth was wide open. The lava was obviously a very comfortable bath for it. It soaked in the lava and stared at the panicking group of Mofan with a hint of mockery and viciousness.
One face was filled with mockery, while the other was filled with viciousness. To Mofan and the others, it was like the Black and White Impermanence!
"It's over, it's over!" Zhang Xiaohou yelled.
The rumbling behind them was getting closer. It was clearly the roar of the lava …
They initially thought Mofan had wisely chosen to leave, allowing the group to escape the calamity. To their surprise, the creature that had heard the strange sound had added insult to injury by blocking their path of survival.
There was still a lava pool in front of them that was gradually expanding. Looking at the shell of the two-faced armored monster, it was clear that it was not a creature that could be killed easily. For a moment, everyone did not know what to do. They felt as if they were locked in the gates of hell!
"Damn it, I'm going to kill that son of a bitch!" Zhang Xiaohou and Zhao Manyan cursed. They were about to cross the lava pool to kill the two-faced armored creature.
"We'll deal with it later. Come with me," Ling Ling said to the group.
"You have a plan?" Mofan asked in surprise.
"I'm not sure if it's going to work. I was keeping an eye on our surroundings when we were running for our lives, and I saw a huge hole extending to the side. The lava is pouring down from the hole. If we hide in the hole and seal it with Earth Magic, we can avoid being swept into the lava for the time being. However, if the lava fills up the hole, we will either suffocate to death in the hole, or be burned to death by the lava that spills into the hole," Ling Ling said.
"There's no other way. Let's head to the hole first. Swift Star Wolf, lead the way!" Mofan said.
"We have to be quick, or else …" Xinxia said.
Xinxia did not finish the sentence. Everyone knew that if they did not make it to the hole that Ling Ling mentioned before the lava came crashing down, they would be in serious trouble!
