Chapter 53: Underground Lava
Damn, I fell off the cliff again! This bottomless crack in the ground must not be broken if you fall. Higg secretly cursed in his heart.
Six people fell at the same time, and then those stones and clods of earth also fell, and even if they didn't die after landing, they would be buried by the rocks that followed, and there was nothing to borrow in the air, which was really annoying.
"Master, I'll carry you!" Butterfly Caiyun took Higg's hand and shouted.
Without saying a word, Higg put Thomas, who was still dragging his arm, on Butterfly Caiyun's back, and said, "You take care of Thomas, I can handle it, go to the middle of the crack in the ground, avoid the falling stones!" ”
Higg fell faster and faster, constantly dodging the falling rocks above. Higg has experienced cliff jumps and mudslides, but this time, it is two at the same time, and it is useless to have experience.
Daniel, along with Nicole and Pantony, is also very embarrassed, trying to figure out how to solve the most terrible landing problem.
If a few years ago, Higg was still not sure, but now that he has comprehended the origin of the qi system, there is no problem with landing safely without injury, but the difficulty is that there are three other people who also have to land.
"Daniel, Nicole, you are in charge of the rocks above, and I am in charge of landing, try to get as close to the middle of the crack as possible, there are too many stones on the side." There is no time to think about it, the speed of the fall is too fast, and something must be done.
Higg used his magic power to spin the surrounding gas and support the four people who fell, although he couldn't fully control it, but he could also slow down the speed of the fall.
Daniel and Nicole run the gas shield and scatter the rocks on either side, while Pantony swings an axe to smash the leaky stones.
There is nothing to lean on in mid-air, and an ordinary cliff can still find a tree or something, but this is a crack in the ground, and it is still an expanding crack in the ground, except for stones and stones.
When he was about to reach the ground, Higg sacrificed the Qi Spirit Bead and strengthened the rotation of the gas with all his might, increasing the supporting force, like forming a huge tornado in the crack of the ground, supporting the four people who were falling rapidly.
Even so, the four fell heavily to the ground, injured to varying degrees. But several people knew that they could not stay where they were, and that they had to stay away from the edge of the crack in the ground so as not to be hit by stones.
Higg rolled on the ground, grabbed Nicole, who was the most injured, and ran to the middle of the crack, with Daniel and Pantony close behind.
Falling from the crack in the ground, in fact, it was less than a minute, and several people cooperated decisively, and the opportunity should be taken seriously, otherwise it would be a catastrophe.
Higg was the least injured, and immediately after getting up, he went to find Butterfly Cloud, their landing was farther than here, Thomas's injury was not too light, Butterfly Cloud's strength was too weak, and it was too much to carry a Thomas.
Higg gathered everyone together to heal their wounds, and the earthquake ended.
"What to do!" Uninjured, Butterfly Caiyun asked Higg gently.
"Can you sense where there is an exit?" Higg asked.
Butterfly Caiyun shook her head, "I can't sense the breath outside here at all!" ”
Higg looked at the surrounding environment, judging by the time of the fall, there was at least a height difference of more than 2,000 meters from the fall site, and the air was hotter than the sulfur pit where the fall occurred. If you want to go out from the original exit, it is estimated that it is very difficult, not to mention whether it has been blocked or not, the height difference of more than 2,000 meters can also be prohibitive.
"Die Caiyun, you go up and see if there is an exit, if there is an exit, you will go out first, you will not be needed here for the time being." Higg said.
"Master, I said I wouldn't leave you!" Die Caiyun said resolutely.
"Do you still listen to me?" Higg said angrily, "If there's an exit up there, we'll need you to deliver water and food, and you can help us find the nearest exit." ”
"Okay, I'll try!" Seeing that Higg was angry, Butterfly Caiyun resignedly agreed.
There is no way to go to the sky, there is no door to enter the ground, there is no water and food, and it can only last here for three days at most, and the air is very hot and dry, unbearable, and the body loses water faster.
Higg didn't have much time to think about it right now, so he put Thomas on the ground and ran the water healing magic skill to heal the panicked child. Since he came out with himself, this child has not lived a few days of normal life, and every day he is either out of danger or walking on the road to danger.
After more than an hour, everyone was basically healed. The hot air here is about to suffocate, and the news that Butterfly Caiyun has brought back here without an exit is basically desperate.
"What to do, Higg?" Nicole, who has always had a lot of ideas, also panicked this time, there is no sky here, the whole thing is underground, although the space is very large, but no one will get used to this kind of depression without a sky.
"I feel like I'm close to underground lava!" "We must find the exit as soon as possible, or we will die of thirst and starvation, or we will die of heat sooner or later." ”
"Butterfly Caiyun can't sense the direction anymore, where do we find the exit?" Daniel said urgently.
"My sulphur mines, my fine wine!" Pantony screamed in pain.
"We walk along the cracks in the ground, there will always be a chance! It's better than waiting here to die. Daniel said.
"I don't think it's that simple!" "The original outlet here was on the island, and when it left the island, there was the vast sea, and if there was an outlet in the sea, the sea would have poured in a long time ago, so the exit was also on land." However, there is no land around here except this island? ”
"There is an exit, and it's on land, but it's far from here!" "But I'm not going to leave here, I'd rather be buried here than leave my brimstone!" ”
"How do you know there's an exit in this crack?" Daniel shouted.
Higg and Nicole are also hard to be confident, this mysterious Pantony, to say that he has a conspiracy, not like, but why were they brought to this small island, where there is nothing but a dwarf for him?
"I'm a dwarven warrior, we dwarves are born to drill into mines, and of course we know the breath of the underground." Pantony exclaimed.
"Why would you rather die here than go out, for your useless brimstone mine?" Daniel yelled at Pantony angrily.
"You are not allowed to insult the fruits of my labor, I have lived for more than a hundred years, you will not understand the feelings of the dwarves for minerals, along this crack in the ground, you will find an exit!" The irascible Anthony showed no signs of weakness.
"You're really not out of the house?"
"I'd rather die than go out!"
"It's a pity that I've been storing good wine outside for so many years, if I can't get out, no one will be able to find out where I store my wine, then it's really a terrible thing!" Higg sighed slowly, and then Thomas, picking him up, said to Nicole, "Nicole, let's go!" ”
Nicole nodded, and left along the crack in the ground with Higg and Butterfly Cloud.
"But ......," Daniel was still not reassured, "we can't get out without a guide!" ”
"Daniel, if you are willing to wait here for death, we will not stop you!" Nicole said angrily.
"Let's go, I'll go!" Daniel was most afraid that Nicole would get angry.
Higg handed Thomas over to Daniel's care, then sacrificed the Qi Spirit Orb and cleared the way in front of him.
"Wait a minute!" Pan Dongni hurried up and said with a smile, "I suddenly thought that it might be good to change to another way of life, after all, I have lived in this state for decades, so I also want to go out and try a new life." ”
"But your brimstone?" Nicole winked playfully at Higg, and then said to Pantony, "We don't dare delay you, so that you don't have to say that we covet your brimstone, do we, Mr. Islander?" ”
"The brimstone has been buried back in the ground, and there is no brimstone left." Pantony hurriedly said, "Besides, you do need a guide too, we dwarven warriors have never been in the habit of not saving from death!" ”
"Have you figured it out, Mr. Islander?" Higg laughed, "We listen to you in the cracks, and you must listen to me when you get out!" ”
"Of course, of course!" Pantony hurriedly laughed and said, "I just don't know what you have in the cellar......"
"Yours!" Higg laughed.
"A word?" Pantony was overjoyed.
"Never break your word!" Higg laughed.
"Dare you guys set this low-IQ guy?" Daniel asked Nicole softly.
"But, Daniel, I think your IQ is even more worrying, hahaha!" Nicole laughed.
Daniel's face turned red, and he was played by Higg and Nicole twice, but he couldn't rely on others.
"Mr. Islander!" Higg walked up to Pantony and asked, "How far is this from the exit, and where will we be when we get out?" ”
"The exit is very far, at least three days, the specific exit location, I can't be sure, but along this direction, you can't go wrong."
"Three days, I can't stand it for a day, it's too hot here!" Thomas said in despair.
Long-term heat makes people very irritable, because many functions of the body go into a dormant state, which makes it difficult to control the mental state, especially when there is no hope. Not to mention that Thomas, who has lived in the alpine region for a long time, can't stand it, even Higg, Nicole, and Daniel can't stand it. The ones who can endure it are probably the butterfly clouds who like warm weather and Pantoni, who has been mining underground for a long time.
"Mr. Islander, is there no other way?" Nicole asked, "I'm about to suffocate on such a hot day." ”
"Aren't you magicians? How can there be no way? Pantony asked.
"How much mana does that have to consume, it is estimated that in less than a day, all three of us will have to collapse!" Daniel said urgently.
"What to do if you eat and drink, you can't stand the food for a few days, you don't have water, and in this stuffy environment, everyone will die of dehydration." Higg asked.
"Don't worry, since this place is deep underground, are you still afraid that there will be no hot springs?" Pantony said.
"Hot springs? You're saying there will be hot springs underground? Higg was surprised, "Let's go, I have a way if there is water, don't hesitate, let's go!" ”
The further you walked, the hotter it felt, the deeper you went underground, and this endless crack in the ground didn't change at all for three hours.
"Be careful, the front is approaching the lava field!" Pantony reminded.
As soon as Pan Dongni finished speaking, a large area of fiery red light appeared in front of him, illuminating everyone to turn fiery red, and a hot wave of heat rushed towards his face, making people feel as if their respiratory tract was burning.
