Given the length of the North American rainy season, the source of the supervolcano has been at least a year old, especially in the epicenter of the eruption, where the boiling magma has steamed almost the entire surface.

Ji Aojian walked briskly, and suddenly felt a little shaky under his feet, and when he looked back, he didn't see the magma rising into the sky, and the action to save the world had not begun.

Perhaps it's just that the volcano has begun a new round of concentrated eruptions.

However, the geological structure of the region is already fragile, and with the shaking brought about by the strong volcanic eruption, the mountains are like crispy mounds of earth, and from time to time large and small peaks peel off and fall from the mountain walls.

An extremely bad feeling rose in his heart, and Ji Aojian immediately beckoned his sister and ran wildly.

But no matter how swift they moved, they didn't seem to be able to escape the collapse of the mountains.

Gradually, not only are some mountains collapsing intermittently, but even the entire section of the mountain range soaked in the magma lake is like an iceberg in a warm current, slowly and completely melting.

Ji Aojian felt more and more loose on the mountain road, and sometimes even felt that the jump point in the narrow place would break after one person passed.

As soon as his mind moved, he immediately pulled his sister in front of him, "Xiao Su, you come and lead the way!"

Ji Qingsu only took turns to lead the way as when she came, and was very happy to run ahead, but after running for a while, she immediately realized that something was wrong, "Brother, let's change back!"

"Don't mess around, I'm jumping farther than you. Ji Aojian snorted, and then encouraged. "Xiao Su, work harder, and turn over the top of the two mountains in front. The ground is stable. ”

A moment later, the two of them swept past the first ridge, and after a while, Ji Qingsu had already rushed to the top of the second peak.

However, she immediately stood still.

Ji Aojian came to her side and immediately understood what was going on.

There was supposed to be a steep mountain beam ahead of it that met the opposite mountain range, but now the mountain beam had been washed away, and a reddish lava channel had taken its place.

Ji Qingsu's face turned pale. "Brother, I'm taking the wrong path. ”

"You're not wrong, this is the way we came. Ji Aojian said indifferently. "We'll just go back and find another way. ”

Before the words fell, the originally crumbling mountain road behind them suddenly collapsed, and the two of them had fallen into a lonely peak surrounded by lava at this moment.

Ji Aojian's face also turned pale.

The surrounding magma was surging like an ocean tide. And this mountain is like a burning candle. I shorten it slowly minute by minute.

He noticed that his sister's body was trembling violently, and hurriedly comforted, "Xiao Su, don't panic, wait until I think of a way." ”

"I'm not afraid. Ji Qingsu said with a face full of shame, "Brother, it's me who is useless and has affected you." ”

Ji Aojian was inexplicable, "What do you mean by this?"

"You move much faster than I do. If I hadn't dragged you down, you would have escaped a long time ago. ”

"Nonsense!" Ji Aojian was furious. "We came together, of course we have to go together. Besides, even if I rush to the front and see you in danger, will I not come back to save you?"

Ji Qingsu nodded with red eyes and did not speak.

This lonely cliff is at least 100 meters away from the peaks in front and behind, Ji Aojian looked at it, and estimated in his heart that even if he had enough running distance, he would never be able to jump over.

"There's no way we can leave. Seeing that his brother was silent, Ji Qingsu already understood the situation in front of him.

Ji Aojian's heart twitched in pain, he clenched his fists tightly, and his fingertips pinched deep into his palms, "Xiao Su, I'm really useless, there's no way to save you." ”

"Brother, don't say that. Ji Qingsu said softly, "Since fate is like this, let's accept it together." ”

"If, if I practice more diligently...... Ji Aojian hissed, "If I have returned to the innate now, maybe there will be a way to take you away." ”

"You are already very hardworking, you can already hurt the Great Grandmaster at this age, and few sisters can compare to you. Ji Qingsu sighed, "Actually, brother, your progress could have been faster, but I delayed you." ”

Ji Aojian was very surprised when he heard her suddenly say this, "You delayed me?"

"That was before your fugue. Ji Qingsu said, "At that time, your practice was stagnant, and the third sister secretly approached me and asked me to ask you to teach, saying that this might inspire your sense of responsibility and self-motivation." ”

"And the result?"

"You really did your best to teach me, and I improved very quickly. ”

"In this way, I seem to be on the right path. ”

"After half a year, my martial arts will surpass yours. Ji Qingsu said hesitantly, "Later, you finally found out that you were caught up by me, and you were deflated again all of a sudden, and you returned to your old self." ”

Ji Aojian held his forehead and said speechlessly, "It turns out that this so-called 'progress is very fast', and that's it. ”

"But compared to you, it did improve very quickly. Ji Qingsu was anxious, "You used to have a psychological shadow, and it was already rare to practice hard like this." ”

"Okay, but why did you say you're delaying me?"

"I didn't know your situation at the time, so I thought that you practiced so slowly, it was really unproductive, so I didn't listen carefully to the instructions of the third sister and hide my skills. Ji Qingsu said guiltily, "If I keep pretending to be inferior to you and let you persist at that practice speed, I won't be knocked over by someone later." ”

"What kind of delay is this, obviously it is my own fault, and you don't know it. ”

Ji Aojian looked at his sister and thought, my Xiao Su is an upright temper, there has always been one one, two is two, if you want to pretend for a long time, it will be too difficult for you.

He continued, "You don't tell me that you don't know, it turns out that you put so much thought into me so much in order to make me practice hard. ”

Ji Qingsu shook his head, "In those years. In order to cure you, it was the third sister who spent all her thoughts, and the person you really want to thank should be her. ”

"I heard you talk about it just now. Ji Aojian was silent for a while. asked, "You still say that someone is so good to me, but I don't pay attention to it, is that the third sister you are talking about?"

"Isn't it the third sister or who?" Ji Qingsu bit her lip, "You practice so slowly, several sisters look down on you in their hearts." But the third sister never gave up on you, and always told us that there was a reason why you couldn't practice. But we asked her why. She didn't say anything. ”

Ji Aojian sighed, "Now you know what's going on. ”

"I was just guessing, but it was confirmed by your reaction. Ji Qingsu asked, "But brother, how do you know that you were killed by the fourth sister?"

"The fourth sister told me. He confessed his sins to me. ”

Ji Qingsu didn't know what to say. After a while, he said slowly, "I think, the fourth sister didn't mean it, otherwise the third sister wouldn't have been hiding it for her." ”

"Thank you, Xiao Su. ”

"What's wrong?"

"Thank you for telling me about the past and letting me know how the third sister cared for me. Ji Aojian looked at the rising water level of the lava lake, "Actually, death is not terrible. Now I have a clear understanding of my life. There are no more regrets. ”

Holding a hand, Ji Qingsu said quietly, "At this time, I can be with my brother and wait to enter another world, Xiao Su feels very lucky." ”

"It's been a while before the lava floods here. Ji Aojian clenched her hand, "Then before we hit the road, take a good look at the magnificent scenery in front of us." ”

"Yes, not everyone can have such a blessing at the end of their lives. ”

"Xiao Su-"

"Huh?"

"I want to hug you. ”

Ji Qingsu closed his eyes and nodded slightly.

Then, she suddenly felt that the qi and blood in her whole body stopped, and she couldn't move immediately.

When I opened my eyes again, I saw my brother pushing a few steps away and undoing his coat.

"Xiao Su, I'm sorry to do this to you, because you don't have to go with me. ”

Ji Aojian tore his coat into strips of cloth and knotted it into a rope, "This distance of dozens of zhang, although it is difficult for us to jump over, there is still a way called throwing flying stones." With centrifugal force, I can throw you to the opposite side. ”

Ji Qingsu immediately understood his plan, and understood that he could only escape alone, so he was so anxious that he sweated, "Brother, you can't do this! You are the head of the family, you should go." ”

"You are also the candidate for the head of the family, and in the future, the great business of my family will be handed over to you, and you will do better than me. ”

"My external strength is stronger than yours, my strength is greater than yours, and I am more sure to throw you over. ”

"At this distance, I have complete confidence. Ji Aojian smiled, "Besides, I'm much heavier than you, if this rope is tied to me, it may not be able to eat hard." ”

"Brother!"

"Obedient, Xiao Su. Ji Aojian said in a deep voice, "Please help me tell the third sister that I have no way to repay her, please forgive me." Also, please help me tell Seventh Sister that I am most sorry for her, and you don't have to forgive me. ”

"You go tell them yourself!" Ji Qingsu's tears fell, and he cried out loud, "You don't need me to tell you." ”

Ji Aojian finished tying the rope, walked in front of her, and gently stroked her face, "Xiao Su, you have to work hard in the future and become a great grandmaster as soon as possible." After ascending, you still have to go to Xiao Ai. ”

"But, but," Ji Qingsu said with difficulty, "don't forget, Fourth Sister, Fourth Sister...... Also waiting for you. ”

"Didn't you say that our relationship is wrong?" Ji Aojian sighed, "Since I made a mistake, let this mistake disappear with me." ”

Ji Qingsu opened his mouth, and wanted to say something more, but suddenly there was a violent vibration under his feet, and his whole body was sinking, and then his brother hugged him tightly.

Another earthquake struck, and the lonely peak collapsed into countless pieces, and the two of them stood on a cracked boulder, falling down with the shattered and scattered peaks.

"Brother, it's too late for you to abandon me on Huangquan Road. ”

Ji Qingsu realized the current situation, and suddenly laughed, "This is destined by God, we still have to die together." ”

Ji Aojian looked at her in a daze, "Xiao Su, it turns out that you can laugh too?"

"Since I'm dying, why can't I laugh. Ji Qingsu's face flushed with a hint of blush, "With such a good brother as you to accompany me, Xiao Su feels very happy." ”

"Thank you, Xiao Su, but you don't have to go. ”

Ji Qingsu was stunned for a moment.

She noticed that her body flew upward, and it was her brother who threw herself out with all his might, and at the same time heard him shouting loudly, "Fourth sister, remember what you said!"

In Xiao Su's sight, he suddenly saw a black shadow rushing out of the sky without warning, as if it was a demon god who suddenly broke into the world from outside the sky. Then, from the black shadow's hand, a long whip like a spiritual snake flew around her waist.

Immediately, I felt that I was spinning in circles, and the speed was getting faster and faster, and at the same time, a force was generated on my body that was forcibly flying outward, and this force was terrifying, as if it was going to tear myself apart.

After four or five laps, his whole body suddenly lightened, and with the long whip that had escaped, he flew far away to the cliff to the west.

Almost at the same time as he landed, Ji Qingsu felt that his hands and feet could move, and after rolling on the peak a few times, he immediately turned over, ran to the edge of the cliff, and looked down.

The black shadow who threw the whip was falling rapidly, chasing the falling rocks where his brother was.

From above, the two figures look like a pair of tiny butterflies, perched on a sinking blister. (To be continued......)
