When Richard counted to the nineteenth breath in his heart, his body fell to the ground like a meteorite.

"Bang!"

There was a muffled sound, and Richard only felt as if he had fallen into a quagmire, and his body was deep in the mud. It was only with great difficulty that he got out of the mud and stood up, only to hear a voice from above.

"Ahh!!!h Senior brother caught me, ahhh ”

"Damn, why did this girl jump down together?"

Richard was startled, for some reason night vision had no effect in this environment, the surrounding environment was pitch black, and Richard, who seemed to be blind, could only roughly judge the direction based on the sound, walked a few steps and stretched out his hand.

"Bang!"

I only heard a muffled sound beside him, and the mud splashed Richard.

It doesn't seem to have caught ...... Richard touched his nose in the darkness and took out the fluorescent lamp he had received from Wang Fang from his backpack, and the bright light lit up the surroundings.

When he looked around, Richard was startled, only to see that this was not a quagmire, but a pool of blood! The mud just now wasn't muddy, but viscous plasma!

Ai Mengmeng got up at this time, and was immediately startled when he looked at Richard, now Richard was holding a firefly lamp in his hand, and the white miserable light illuminated his face that was all plasma, like a ghost!

"Hell !!!"

"Ellie, it's me."

Richard said angrily, if you want to talk about ghosts, it should be Ai Mengmeng, who is covered in blood and hair, is more like a ghost!

"Division... Brother? ”

Ai Mengmeng opened her eyes and glanced at Richard again, and then said angrily: "I just asked you to catch me, why don't you catch me!" ”

"How do I know where you are?" Richard flicked Ai Mengmeng's head lightly, took out another firefly lamp and handed it to her, then looked up and sighed, it takes nineteen breaths from the ground to this blood pool to fall, you can imagine how deep this blood pool is, and it is estimated that it is impossible to return to the ground from the cave where you came.

Now, in addition to committing suicide and returning to the city, the only way to find out what kind of place is here and whether there are other roads to the ground.

After walking a hundred steps forward, the plasma under his feet suddenly became warm, as warm as soaking his feet. After a hundred steps forward, the plasma temperature gradually increased, and it became a little hot.

After walking forward for more than a thousand steps, the plasma was already boiling hot like boiling water, and Ai Mengmeng had to use Ling Bo to step on the plasma in a small step. However, the temperature of the plasma does not mean to stop rising, and the further you go, the higher the plasma temperature becomes.

Richard could clearly feel his shoes gradually melting in the heat, and even a cloud of green smoke rose from the edge of his calf pants touching the plasma.

Ai Mengmeng was already sweating, and couldn't help but say to Richard: "Senior brother, it's so hot." I can't walk anymore. ”

Richard glanced at the pitch-black ahead, not knowing when it would be. He squatted down and said to Ai Mengmeng: "Come, I'll carry you." ”

Ai Mengmeng nodded, and jumped on Richard's back without excuse. Carrying Ai Mengmeng on his back and continuing to walk forward, the plasma temperature was still rising, and even began to boil, plopping and bubbling. Rao is Richard is now physically extremely strong, and he has to silently use his internal strength to resist the heat.

After the second thousand steps, the plasma temperature was as high as magma. Richard pulled his foot out of the magma and chose the same method as Ai Mengmeng just now, stepping on the plasma with Ling Bo and speeding up.

The internal force was carried with all its strength, and a bright moon aura was condensed outside the body to wrap Ai Mengmeng on his back, and Richard was like a ghost flying forward. The temperature around him was still rising, even to the point of plasma evaporation, and the blood-red mist around him was getting thicker and thicker, and Richard gradually felt exhausted.

Ai Mengmeng whispered: "Senior brother, why don't you put me down." I'll just kill myself and go back. ”

Richard said softly: "What a stupid thing to say, the treasure is right in front of you, you want to find the treasure so much." Can you be willing to go back now? ”

Ai Mengmeng bit her lip, "But..."

"It's nothing, don't worry, senior brother can still hold on."

Richard laughed and sped up again.

In the deepest part, the plasma on the ground had completely turned into a blood mist, the ground was extremely red like a piece of red-hot iron, and the temperature around it was even higher enough to melt gold and iron.

"Senior brother, look ahead!"

Ai Mengmeng suddenly shouted excitedly, Richard subconsciously looked ahead, his eyes passed through the vast blood mist, and he saw that there seemed to be a mountain wall in front of him!

"Is it finally the end?"

Richard whispered excitedly, the speed of the exhaustion of his body's potential exploded again, and after crossing the distance of a hundred zhang, Richard suddenly seemed to have passed through an invisible barrier, and the high temperature around him disappeared, and a cool breeze came to his face!

Richard slowed down and walked to the mountain wall. I saw that the mountain wall was extremely black, and the material was exactly the same as the phoenix statue in the Phoenix Temple.

"Senior brother, there are words there."

Richard looked at the place Ai Mengmeng was pointing to, and there were really a few lines of small characters engraved - knowing where the phoenix's nest was, he was entrusted by Gaozu to come and explore. There were nine people in the same group, and I was the only one who came here and found a drop of phoenix blood, so I guessed that this was the place of phoenix nirvana. I have heard that those who obey the blood of the phoenix can live forever. However, this phoenix blood is extremely violent, and those who wait for it cannot take it. exhausted his life's work and collected the phoenix blood with a heavenly bottle. Although eight masters were lost, with this phoenix blood, it should be enough to return to Chang'an to restore his life to Gaozu.

Ai Mengmeng glanced around and said, "It turns out that this place is called the Phoenix Nest, no wonder it's so hot." Luofeng Slope... Phoenix Temple... Phoenix Nest, Senior Brother, you said that the Phoenix Slope fell, will there really be a phoenix falling? It's a pity that the phoenix blood in the phoenix nest was taken away, otherwise you can see what the phoenix blood looks like. Senior brother, what color did you say the phoenix blood was, or was it red? Will it be golden, or will it be colorful? ”

Richard didn't answer, but looked at the few lines of small words on the mountain wall in a daze, and there seemed to be Huang Zhongdalu constantly roaring in his head, which shocked his heart faster, his blood rushed, and his mouth was dry.

Returning to Chang'an to return to Gaozu, this shows that the person who left these lines of small characters should be the founding emperor of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Jian, Gaozu of Sui. And it is clearly stated in the small print that the phoenix blood is found in this phoenix nest - a drop of !!

Richard took out the unknown drop of blood from the treasury of the Sui Dynasty Palace from his backpack, stared at the blood in the bottle and muttered, "No... Is it really that a coincidence? ”
