Chapter 86

The further you go, the hotter it becomes. You can imagine a place where even a powerful old ghost like Bai Wuchang is unwilling to come to. What kind of place would it be? But I could only grit my teeth and persevere. So that there is enough water in the bag of worlds that can allow me to replenish the lost water at any time and not be roasted into a mummy.

After walking for a long time, I finally saw the mountain that Bai Wuchang mentioned through the cracks between the two small hills in front of me. It was indeed unique, very high and the top of the mountain was really flat, like a big rice dumpling with a corner cut off standing there.

After walking for more than a day, I finally saw my goal. I was really excited and my steps under my feet couldn't help but speed up a lot. However, as the saying goes, "Looking at the mountain and running to death," I didn't come to the foot of the mountain until it was completely dark.

I raised my head and looked up. The top of the mountain was completely shrouded in the dark night and could not see anything. After walking for a day, I felt a little tired. After thinking about it, I decided to climb up in one go. Otherwise, it would be really bad if I climbed up against the scorching sun tomorrow.

Although this mountain is very high, it is not steep. After climbing for most of the night, I finally successfully climbed to the top of the mountain. At this time, I was so tired that my limbs were weak and my head was dizzy. Even if there was a beautiful woman in a swimsuit standing in front of me, I would only take a look at it at most.

The top of the mountain was pitch black and there was nothing to see, so I randomly found a flat place to lay a bag and started to sleep. When I woke up naturally, it was already bright.

Lying sideways on a world bag, opening his sleepy eyes, I saw a vertical cliff at first sight. At this time, I was lying on the edge of the cliff, and I could touch the straight cliff with my hand. I was shocked and sweated. All my sleepiness disappeared without a trace. I woke up in an instant, carefully got up from the ground, and took a few steps back. Then I calmed down and looked at the surrounding environment in surprise.

At first glance, I saw a round depression with neat edges, just like someone pressing an oversized bowl in the center of the mountaintop. The lower part of the bowl was covered with white mist, and I couldn't see what it looked like, but the exposed part was already very deep, at least about a hundred meters, and the place where I slept last night was on the edge of this big bowl.

At this time, I was really glad that I was quite honest when I was sleeping, otherwise I would fall down as soon as I turned over, and then I fell into several pieces in a daze in my sleep.

After seeing this, I already understood that this is a crater, but with my poor academic knowledge, I can't tell whether it is an extinct volcano or an active volcano. However, intuition tells me that the possibility of an active volcano is relatively high. This damn Bai Wuchang actually asked me to go to the crater to get something, and I curse your whole family to die and give birth to a son without ***.

But then I thought about it and thought that this curse seemed to be powerless. An old ghost like Bai Wuchang who had lived for countless years would probably have died long ago, and the possibility of his childbirth was so small that it was negligible.

I thought about a more vicious curse in my mind, but after thinking for a while, I couldn't figure it out. The words of cursing a living person opened their mouths and found that it was so difficult for the first time that the cursed ghost was so difficult. In the end, I had to give up. Forget it, I don't want those useless ones. Anyway, I have to continue here, no matter what. If I go back now, Bai Wuchang probably has at least hundreds of ways to deal with me.

When I am under the eaves, I have to bow my head. My current situation is not just under the eaves, but under the table. The most hateful thing is that I don’t even have the idea of ​​fighting back. After all, the gap between the two sides is too big. At the current speed, I can’t beat him even if I practice for a few more lifetimes. The only thing I can do is to piss him off in an inconsistency place or cause some trouble for him to balance my mind.

After thinking through all this, I began to calm down and observe the cliff carefully. Although the shape here looks like a big bowl, it is naturally formed after all. There are still many uneven potholes on the cliff, which are incomparable to the smooth porcelain bowl. So it didn't take long to find a way to go. Although it was very dangerous, I was not afraid at all. Anyway, Bai Wuchang was responsible for the warranty, and it didn't matter if it broke.

Despite this guarantee, when I grabbed the cracks of the rocks with my hands, stepped on the slightly raised stones under my feet, and my whole body was pressed against the cliff, and my whole body was still scared to the point of being dizzy and my heart beat faster.

A distance of 100 meters is nothing if it is on the flat ground, but when it is vertical, it is completely different. It is really scary. Fortunately, my psychological quality is quite strong, otherwise I would have been scared to be weak and my feet will fall down directly.

The most terrifying thing is that I have to look down because I have to keep looking for the next place to settle down. This is simply a huge test of my psychological quality. After enduring it for more than ten minutes, I would have been a little unbearable. If it hadn't been down for more than ten meters and it would be more difficult to climb up, I would have given up, but now I can only continue to move down. As for how to go back after getting the Yangpo, I have no time to think about it.

Fortunately, there was no danger along the way. Although it took a long time, I finally reached the bottom of the bowl safely. There was a thick white fog around me, and the visibility was almost zero. I couldn't see the hole that Bai Wuchang said, and I couldn't even see the ground under my feet clearly. So I had to fumble around and search, and soon I stepped on the air and fell down.

This made me dizzy. After a while, I was completely awake. I was about to get up but stopped all my movements immediately because I found that the position I was in was a hanging stone, and there was no fog around, which allowed me to see the surrounding environment clearly at a glance.

Four or five meters above is a large hole. I can see the white mist shrouded at the hole, but it is pitch black below. The faint light cast from the hole can only barely see a place more than ten meters away. However, there are vertical stone walls there, and where I am, a large protruding stone, inserted on the stone wall like a large wedge. It was a blessing just now. If this stone had not been connected, I would have fallen directly into the bottomless cave.

I carefully got up from the stone, sat on it and looked carefully for a while, and finally understood that this hole should be the passage where lava flowed out of the ground during the eruption of the volcano. After cooling, the lava formed various bulges on the four walls, and it was not difficult to go down. What I worry about the most was the temperature.

The hole is several times hotter than the outside. Although I don’t know the specific temperature, it is definitely not low. The stones in the hole feel hot when they touch, and the air that sucks into the mouth is hot, making the throat tingling.

No wonder the old ghost Bai Wuchang came to me. This is what I have practiced for a few years, and I have been practicing for more than ordinary people. With the wonderful recovery ability in my body, I can hold on. If I change someone, I’m afraid I’ll have been roasted and tender on the outside. Sprinkle some chopped green onions, coriander, cumin, and chili noodles to serve.

The key is just the temperature at the entrance of the hole. The more you go down, the hotter it will be. Even if you think about it with your knees, I am very worried. However, I have no way to go back here, and no matter what, I can only walk down with a tough bullet.

I carefully stood up from the stone, and then climbed down with my hands and feet. After about twenty meters, the cave began to tilt. Although the slope was still very large, I could at least walk upright with my hands on the wall. The speed was naturally much faster than when I was vertical. However, after walking a short distance, the cave returned to its vertical state.

In this way, I walked down the cave and walked for a long time but couldn't reach the end. I felt like I had entered a winding pipe, sometimes vertical, sometimes oblique, and sometimes in a 'u' shape. I actually needed to climb up.

As the temperature goes deeper, the temperature becomes higher and higher. At the beginning, it just feels that the stone is hot, and gradually the blisters are burned out of the hands. Later, when the hand touches the stone, the skin will be burned and the flesh will be burned.

Although my body has a wonderful recovery ability, the recovery speed is far behind and the scalded speed. The hands were quickly burned and bloody, which was terrible. However, the condition on my feet was better. At the beginning, there was a sole blocking it, but it was quickly burned, and it was so crispy that it fell down like a biscuit. It broke into many pieces before going far, leaving only a upper on my feet.

At this point, I had to go barefoot on the road, relying on the thick skin on my feet, and the calluses I had worn during this period, I could barely resist the hot stones. Although I had been burned and blistered, and the color was red, just like a braised pork trotter just out of the pot, but the surface was still complete and there was no skin and lack of flesh.

After walking down for a while, I was so hot that I couldn't hold on anymore, so I had to stand on a big protruding stone, and quickly stepped onto the spot, buying time for the recovery of my hands. Although this time could not allow my hands to fully recover, it could at least relieve the heart-wrenching pain.

After that, I would stop and use this method to restore my hands whenever I walked. As the temperature rose, I stopped more and more times. I almost stopped for a few steps, and my speed was as slow as a snail.

I don’t know how long it will take to find Yangpo, but I know that I can’t hold on for long. The temperature is now the limit I can’t bear. Not only can I bear it, but my hands and feet can’t stand it, but I’m even a little confused. If I continue to get so hot, I will die here.
