Chapter 87 There is something in the lake

In a daze, the road ahead began to tilt again. I stepped up and went down the slope. Before I walked far, I suddenly realized that I saw a large lava lake. I had already walked to the lakeside, which made me feel excited, because in the image that Bai Wuchang showed me, Yangpo was above the lava lake.

I immediately looked up, but what I saw was a stone wall, which was extremely low, only seven or eight meters away from the lake surface. It was like a large pot lid buckled above the lava lake. In addition to the stone walls and stone walls around, there was no shadow of Yangpo at all.

Seeing these, I was finally sure that this place was not the place where Yang Po stayed. I had to continue walking forward because I saw a hole on the stone wall opposite the lava lake, but it was not easy to reach that hole.

I turned my head to observe the left and right sides and found that there were many bulges on the stone walls, and it was not difficult to climb over. The only problem was that the distance was a bit long. If I had visually measured it, it was at least one or two hundred meters. And it was a bit short. I could only keep a distance of six or seven meters from the lava lake at most. If I had a little slower movement, I would be cooked like a lamb skewers placed on the stove.

The current situation is no longer enough for me to think about it. After all, it is not comfortable to stand by the lake. The only difference is that the firepower is slightly smaller, and I will be roasted for a little longer, so I quickly chose the route to pass, and then rushed out without any hesitation.

The temperature on the stone wall was much higher than I thought. As soon as I stepped on it, a 'sting' sound came from my ears, and a faint blue smoke came out from my feet. However, in my high mental tension, I did not feel pain. Now I only have one thought in my mind, that is, run quickly, and never stop, and it will be familiar when I stop.

The scorching lava lake was scorching my body below, making me feel a little oily. Now I finally understood the feeling of the lamb skewers, and a thought suddenly popped up in my mind, "I haven't eaten lamb skewers for a long time."

I was a little surprised that at such a life-and-death moment, I would even think of mutton skewers. Such a magical idea made me laugh and cry. So I quickly gave up my longing for mutton skewers, concentrated on jumping on the stone wall, and finally arrived at the hole opposite before it was cooked.

Although it was very hot here, I finally didn't feel like I was being placed on the stove and barbecued. Only then did I have time to check my injuries. There was no problem with my body, but my hands and feet were burned in the exercise just now, and the pain made me feel a little unable to stand.

After a while of rest, I felt the pain relieved a little. I began to go down the slope of the cave again. In fact, the temperature here is not much lower than above the lava lake, but it was not roasted by the lava lake, so I felt a little better. However, it was already so hot that I was a little confused. My thinking began to be slow, and my feet were left to move forward numbly.

After taking many steps, my eyes suddenly became clear again, and a large cylindrical space appeared, with a diameter of at least five or six hundred meters, and the height was even more scary, and it was eight hundred meters without a thousand meters.

At the bottom of this space is a rolling lava lake. There is a stone pillar standing tall in the center of the lake. The height of the stone pillar is only slightly shorter than the entire space. The top is almost touching the roof, and then a thin stone beam extends out to connect it to the stone wall on one side.

I am at a hole close to the bottom of the space. More than ten meters below my feet are the lava lake. If I hadn't just closed my feet quickly, I would have fallen down. Now I'm still a little scared when I think about it, and my mind instantly woke up.

I looked up and looked up, but I couldn't see what the top of the stone pillar looked like, but I was sure that there was the location of Yang Po, because the scene in front of me was almost exactly the same as what Bai Wuchang had seen.

The reason why I said "almost" is because at that time he only let me see Yangpo, stone pillars, and the lava lake below, but I didn't let me see the stone beam, and the distance between the entrance of the cave where I came in and the stone beam. I guess I was afraid that I would not dare to come after seeing it. This old ghost could edit pictures, which really made me a little angry.

However, it is really scary to climb to such a high place. I feel dizzy when I look at it. So the condition on the stone wall is the same as the cave I have passed along, with many large and small stones stuck on it like wedges.

Of course, it is okay to climb up such a terrain, but the worst thing is that the temperature here is too high. I tried it carefully. As soon as my finger touched the surface of the stone, a stream of smoke came out. Although I immediately shrank my finger back, the small part where I touched the stone had turned white, and it was probably at least 70% mature. I wonder if I could still have a few unfamiliar parts left in my body after I climbed up.

And this is the best result. If I get burned in the middle and fall down by mistake, it will be even more terrible. The lava lake below is so hot that it is so hot that it is. After falling into it, it probably won’t even be able to keep a little bit of slag. If you want to be resurrected, Bai Wuchang can only reshape me another body. I believe he has such ability, but I can’t accept it. After all, the copycat is not as good as the original one.

I hesitated while planning the upward route. In fact, I also knew that there was nothing to hesitate at this time. Since I got here, it was impossible not to go up. Moreover, I was not comfortable at the moment. I was roasted by a huge lava lake and was almost cooked. Now, the right choice is to climb up as quickly as possible to get the Yangpo and then leave here quickly.

As soon as I gritted my teeth and stomped my feet, I rushed out of the hole and jumped to a bulge of about half a meter next to the hole. As I walked here, the calluses on the soles of my feet had long been burned off. Now the soles of my feet were covered with tender new flesh. I immediately felt a piercing pain when I stepped on the hot stone. So I quickly raised my foot and stepped on another smaller bulge as quickly as possible.

After some planning just now, I have chosen the route. The biggest advantage of this route is that you can hardly use your hands. Although doing this protects my hands, after running this trip, I guess my feet will definitely be as crispy and rotten as steamed bear paws, but this is the best way I can think of at the moment.

Following the route I wanted to set, my feet alternately stepped on the raised stone, and the speed was very fast. I advanced thirty or forty meters in a blink of an eye. The first thing I could do was to get such a speed was thanks to Uncle Gu's training for me. The wooden stakes for several years were not in vain. The combination of hands, eyes, body, method and steps was extremely perfect.

But another very important reason is that the place where I settled was so hot that I had to raise my foot in an instant. I couldn't stop at all, and I couldn't even think about it.

At this speed, it would probably not take long to reach Shiliang. But at this moment, I suddenly felt that there was something abnormal in the lava lake below. I lowered my head slightly and glanced at it. The scene I saw surprised me. On the originally calm lake surface, there were more than a dozen small heads.

The color of these little heads is similar to that of lava, they are all white and scorched. They look hot and it is really hard to find if they don’t look carefully. After a closer look, I found that these heads are triangular, looking a bit like lizards or chameleons. At this time, all the heads are tilted upwards, obviously staring at me.

I never expected that something would live in the lava lake. This discovery completely subverted my worldview. In fact, my worldview has been subverted many times in recent years, and it doesn’t matter if I have another one.

The worst thing is that I am now running on the stone wall at high speed. The brief loss of consciousness almost made me fall from above. And at this moment, the things below actually moved. All the animals opened their mouths, took a big sip of lava, and then closed their mouths.

This action really made me a little strange. I didn't expect them to eat lava as food. But then, strings of pearl-sized lava balls shot out from the mouths of these things, and the speed was very fast, like bullets coming out of the borehole, and the shooting was very accurate. All the lava balls flew towards me. If they were hit, I would directly turn into a sieve. In an instant, a world bag was grabbed in my hand and quickly became larger, covering my body like a curtain.

Countless lava balls hit the bag densely, making a "crackling" sound, but there was no trace left. I really don't know what this thing was made of, but it's no wonder that it's definitely something that can make Bai Wuchang, the old ghost, think of it as a treasure.

Although I temporarily blocked the attack of the lava monster, I was still extremely nervous. After all, I don’t know if they have other attack methods, especially the position I am in is more dangerous than walking a tightrope, and I will fall down if I am not careful. So these things don’t need to be beaten to death directly. As long as I get enough harassment to distract me, I will be very dangerous.

But before I could finish thinking about it, this danger arose. Seven or eight triangular heads actually drew a series of water lines in the lava lake, swam quickly below me, and then climbed up the stone wall.

The monsters' movements on the stone wall were very flexible, and they jumped and climbed for more than ten meters in just over ten seconds. At this speed, they could catch up with me quickly.

At this time, I finally saw clearly the appearance of this thing. It was only one meter small and less than two meters large. Its slender body had four thick claws and thick scales covered with thick scales. Except for the white body color, it looked almost exactly like a lizard.
