He checked the monster-skin on his body again to see if there were any gaps.

She covered the gaps between her fingers, and wore a black leather mask and hat that only revealed her eyes before confidently stepping onto the steps.

The advantage of this monster's dark skin is evident here.

Although it doesn't prevent burns, its fireproof advantage is enough!

Moreover, the blue flames here are not particularly hot, but strangely, even when oxygen is cut off, they cannot be stopped from burning.

Even though the flame was submerged underwater, it still left a blue imprint, like the roots of grass in spring; it would reignite as soon as the water was removed.

Once you are stained with the blue flame mark, it is almost impossible to get rid of. The color of the mark will penetrate deep into the bones and spread with the blood until the blood of the marked person turns blue.

This person is completely beyond saving, unless they live their entire life in a place without oxygen.

Otherwise, if it comes into contact with even a tiny bit of oxygen, it will burn until there are no bones left. What's even more terrifying is that this kind of flame is contagious, so you can't touch it.

Gu Mingyue wasn't confident she could shake off the blue flames, so she bought a lot of fire-type Black Domain monster skins in advance.

Before crossing the lava pool, Gu Mingyue had Xinghe secretly peel off a lot of the black skin from those slender monsters, in case someone took the blue fire from this fire-type dark domain outside and she had no way to protect herself.

The six people slowly walked down the steps.

The Jackal Gang survivors who fled here earlier were not as cautious as they are.

While running frantically downhill, he kept looking back at the steps above him, afraid that countless golden threads would suddenly spread out from the steps above his head, crawl along his face and into his brain, pulling out the crystal core along with his brain matter.

The way they died was too horrific. Just thinking about how his companions had died made him want to kill himself right now.

His mind was filled with images of blood-stained golden threads. He slipped and lost his balance, only managing to straighten himself by swinging a green vine that wrapped around an oil lamp on the wall.

The slowdown in his escape made him panic. The blue flame in the oil lamp wasn't very hot, only slightly warmer than his body temperature.

The man pulled back the vines, clenched his fists, and continued running without looking closely.

As he ran, he suddenly felt lightheaded, and his body temperature seemed to be a little high.

He was just too nervous, and he ran non-stop while escaping, his breathing rapid, and he didn't pay attention to the rising body temperature.

Until suddenly his left and right limbs began to become uncoordinated, and he caught a glimpse of a blue flame on his chest out of the corner of his eye.

He stopped in surprise and looked down at himself, and was immediately terrified, as if he had just had a nightmare.

"Ahhh! Fire! How can I be on fire?" The man stared in horror as the hand he had used to retract the vines was engulfed in blue flames, burned down to just a white bone.

The cuffs of his clothes were mostly burned off, and the fire was spreading towards his chest.

The other finger, which hadn't burned yet, also turned a pale blue.

What's even more terrifying is that he felt no pain until he saw his body burned through. Only now, when he looked down and saw his bones exposed, did he feel a slight, dull ache.

He hurriedly and fearfully used his pale blue hand to pat the burning arm, but with a forceful slap, he directly knocked off the piece of white bone arm, and at the same time, the unburnt part of the arm was also covered in blue flames.

"Aaaaaah! What the hell is that?!" the man screamed in terror, rolling around on the ground in a frantic attempt to extinguish the blue flames on his body.

By the time Gu Mingyue and her group of six reached the steps, the flames on the man's body had already reached his face.

Gu Mingyue could see the flames burning on the man's skin, flesh, and bone—three wounds.

He was conscious throughout this process because the blue flame was low-temperature and had a mental paralyzing effect, unlike the domineering red flame.

“Pull...me…” The man whose arms had been completely burned off was no longer afraid of the golden thread in Gu Mingyue’s hand. He lifted his feet and shouted to the six people upstairs.

Wherever he went, he left behind a patch of flesh burning with blue flames.

The number of blue fires corresponds to the total number of footprints on the ground.

Upon seeing this, Fang Kai and the others slowly retreated towards the steps behind them, clearly also frightened by the terrifying blue flames.

The dying man clearly saw the fear and disgust on everyone's faces.

Tears streamed from his eyes, leaving two streaks of white salt on his cheeks.

He didn't join the Jackal Gang voluntarily, nor did he enjoy the daily routine of swindling newcomers and killing people for crystals.

But it was all for survival; we had no choice but to do it.

He stopped and opened his mouth in pain, but no sound came out. However, Gu Mingyue, who was the furthest away, could still see his lip movements.

Kill me!

Gu Mingyue's eyes were cold and ruthless, and her fair fingers trembled slightly in mid-air.

A palm-sized golden crescent-shaped throwing knife appeared out of thin air and pierced through the man's open mouth with incredible speed, stopping a burning green crystal core.

The man collapsed to the ground with a thud, ending his painful life as soon as possible.

Fang Kai and the others had been so frightened by the blue flames that they had been retreating. Only when they saw the man being dealt with by a golden scimitar did they stop and thank Gu Mingyue, who was standing behind them, with a forced smile.

Looking at the continuously burning blue flames below, the group was stumped, unsure how to get across.

Seeing this, Xinghe used a spatial barrier to envelop the blue bonfires on the ground, pushed them to the wall, and revealed a downward passage.

The group then continued their descent.

Halfway up the stairs, some skeleton knights with blue flames burning on their heads and wielding flaming spears began to guard each floor.
