Chapter 56
The disaster was imminent. The red flames engulfed everything. The violently collapsing hall disappeared in the flames. The firelight turned everyone's skin red.
The legendary Red Lotus Hell is nothing more than this.
But surprisingly, Zheng Qiuji's bad luck did not come true. Under the flames, no one was burned into barbecue-smelling charcoal.
Before a violent shock wave exploded underground for the second time, completely depriving them of their foothold, two other figures rushed in from the collapsed cave entrance, and the ancient bricks and stones shattered into snow-like gravel and collapsed in all directions.
The oldest sacrificial site of the Tree God Tribe collapsed completely, and jumbled stones fell from the dome, but did not hurt them at all.
Cao Sheng pulled Gu Qingming with one hand and Chu Zhongyuan with the other, and the two of them consciously loosened their hands that were unconsciously clasped together in front of the teacher. A circle of bright red halo spread outward with him as the center, and the surrounding rubble and exploding flames were torn into pieces by the thin red halo before touching them, and then turned into bright red particles and filled into the halo.
This is the first time Cao Sheng has used his supernatural power to release his true name since he had a physical examination a few years ago.
Lu Ze thought that he followed because he was worried. The hem of his black windbreaker was still stained with Ceob's blood.
He put one arm around Luo Dong's waist, and in the other hand a silver hourglass emerged, with stardust-like colors falling inside.
The clock of time loomed beneath his feet.
As long as all the surrounding stones and flames enter the range of the hourglass, they will be reverted to the state before the explosion by the magic of time. Even the violent shock wave cannot enter the realm of time and hurt the people inside. Everything in the space seems to be paused for a moment.
And the last person was the fox mask that no one expected.
The fox mask drew a talisman, and with a tap of his fingertips, a golden Tai Chi pattern rotated and unfolded under his feet. He pulled Zheng Qiuji's shoulder, and after reminding him to be careful with his injured leg, he kept drawing talismans in the air with one hand. Five copper coins circled around him in the direction of the Tai Chi Bagua, warding off the terrible disaster.
Zheng Qiuji: ...Did Lin Yuan just use the copper coins as long-range strategic offensive weapons?
It turns out that when superpowers reach a certain level, humans can really fight against natural disasters.
The shocked high school students, who had never seen such a big scene, thought to themselves.
This is the superpower.
It can give people earth-shaking power, but some people use this power to help more people, while others use it as a trump card to abuse their power.
At the end of the endless snowfield, the sun jumped out from the horizon, and the dazzling sunlight swept across the earth, reflecting the crystal snow.
The overly exciting night finally passed, and dawn broke in Linling.
After the three adults and four high school students crawled out of the ground, before the latter had time to feel sad for Ulig, they saw little Una and Am beside her circling around a bunch of branches.
The four high school students hurried over to see what was happening to the girls, but they were startled by a person lying on a vine web made of intertwined branches.
"Ulig?!"
Gu Qingming failed to maintain his dignified mask, and the bronze spear in his hand, which had just turned back into a snake-shaped carved brooch, almost grew larger on the spot and turned back into a spear.
Lying quietly on the vine net was Ulig with a charcoal-black face.
Although he fell into the sea of fire, Ulig's injuries were not serious. Seeing this, Luo Dong quickly shot him with a healing gun while he was unconscious.
Gu Qingming and others who had experienced that feeling felt their teeth ache after seeing this.
"Grandpa Tree is very powerful, so he saved me, brother!"
Little Una was jumping around a fresh light green branch, looking very happy.
She leaned over and hugged the fresh branch that had inexplicably grown out of the ground, rubbing it happily. A small bud extended from the branch and tapped little Una's forehead.
Little Una was born with the ability to protect. As long as she didn't want anyone to get hurt, no one would get hurt. She could also communicate with plants. When she touched the sacred tree before, her ability cleared the remaining poison in the tree's body, so it woke up.
Light green spots of light scattered and extended along the branches to the surface bark of the giant tree in the collapsed hall that was burned by fire.
Seeing that everyone was fine, Luo Dong dragged a few of his companions to the side to treat their injuries.
After fighting with so many Ceobahs, the four boys were seriously injured. Gu Qingming's body was covered with wounds caused by the middleman's dagger, and Chu Zhongyuan was no worse off. The two looked at each other for a long time, and suddenly they laughed with blood on their faces, like a scene from a horror movie.
"You guys are so real, don't you know how to hide?"
The fight was over and the treatment had begun. Luo Dong, the team doctor, also started to get angry.
Gu Qingming quickly forced a smile: "It's because you are here, Luo Dong, because I believe that as long as you are here, any injury will not be a problem."
Luo Dong snorted, looking very happy. He turned to Chu Zhongyuan: "What about you? Where does it hurt?"
Chu Zhongyuan: "I'm fine. A healer just said I might be bleeding internally, but shouldn't blood be in the body?"
Luo Dong: I can't get any information about my condition from you, right? You deserve to be shot!
Gu Qingming calmly held down Chu Zhongyuan, who was still going crazy, and Luo Dong shot him coldly. A feeling of powerlessness that they couldn't tag the ferret of Chu Zhongyuan's family rose in their hearts.
Elders, please take care of this! What do you think of your high school student who chose biology?!
Zheng Qiuji limped to the end of the group. Before leaving, he looked into Am's eyes and asked hesitantly, "Will you still rescue tourists in distress in the future?"
He asked softly, as if he was ready to give up if the other party didn't hear him.
"Of course we will. We protect the mountains, the tree gods, but we also protect people."
Am answered without hesitation.
"If a tourist really gets hurt, Lin Ling will be sad. We can't stop raising reindeer just because we're afraid of them getting bitten."
"Yeah……"
Zheng Qiuji seemed to be thinking about something.
The CPA has classified the Linling incident as a gas explosion in an abandoned underground mine, and the public opinion monitoring department is quickly publishing news in advance.
The professional rescue team transferred all the villagers and tribal people who were in poor condition to a hospital in a nearby town for temporary treatment. The sequelae caused by the branches were determined to be excessive inhalation of toxic gases.
Luo Dong shot each of his three companions several times. The consequence of fighting to the death was that they would receive the same treatment as Keobe, except that the bullets they received had an additional healing effect.
Gu Qingming, who was lying on the ground, suddenly asked: "What are we going to do next?"
The voice was serious, as if answering a question from our homeroom teacher, Mr. Wang Yun.
"Go to the dock and get some hot pot meatballs."
Chu Zhongyuan looked at the roof of the makeshift first aid tent and responded with a smile.
"Let's have hot pot tonight!"
"Great!!!"
The boys' cheers sounded enough to overturn the entire emergency tent.
Outside the first aid tent.
"You don't care about your students? I thought with your personality you would suddenly jump out and give them some winter vacation homework when they are happy."
The fox mask raised his eyebrows and his voice sounded quite amused.
"What impression do you have of me..."
Cao Sheng felt like he must have frowned: "What I hate most in my life is teachers who give me extra homework during the winter vacation."
"Besides, isn't winter vacation homework meant to be copied? There's no point in leaving more or less."
Cao Sheng shrugged innocently. His words could cause all the old teachers at Lantai No. 1 Middle School to collectively beat him up.
"Well... to be honest, the entire CPA probably has the impression that you are someone who wants nothing more than chaos in the world."
The fox mask was playing with the Five Emperors' Coins floating in the air, watching them spinning around, looking like he was killing time.
But in the dark, a Bagua Palm Palace has been secretly set up to block other superpowers from spying on this side.
"There is good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"
Cao Sheng: "Good news, the situation is bad enough now. Let me be happy."
Fox Mask took back the Five Emperors' Money and said, "The good news is that you have captured quite a few ordinary members of Ceope. The CPA has made a great harvest."
Cao Sheng raised his eyebrows: "...The bad news is that all the top executives have run away?"
"No," Fox Mask shook his head. "That's not bad news."
"The bad news is that when the Cyber Detective Department intervened in the intercom, they heard the middleman claim that the real purpose of the leader of Ceope was indeed the secret place in the sea that the headquarters had guessed - codenamed PL."
Cao Sheng fell silent.
"And the box that could serve as a wooden talisman has been moved away by them."
The fox mask added another blow.
Cao Sheng: “…”
Although I had expected it, when I heard it, I still felt a stomachache and the burden on my shoulders became heavier.
The burden of CPA is not to save the world, but to use blood and tears to create a mysterious path, a path for humans to shock the mystery. So tens of thousands of strongholds are spread all over the east c, and under the night, on the other side of the wall that isolates the mystery, countless people are busy.
In order to avoid occupying rescue resources, the four high school students took a ride on Uncle Zhang’s familiar tricycle back to the village after healing their injuries and resting for a while.
Because Luo Dong is a healing type, he volunteered to stay and help the rescue team treat those with minor injuries and external injuries.
When Luo Dong came back, what greeted him was not his three companions, but a huge snowball flying towards him.
Three teenagers, who were full of energy after a good night's sleep, jumped up and down, saying that it was a nice snowy day and they might as well have a snowball fight to amuse themselves.
Luo Dong revealed a resentment that was scarier than that of a ghost. With a kind face, he walked out of the door and got a Big Mac meal, then greeted everyone one by one.
Gu Qingming secretly used the wind to cheat and deflected the direction of the snowball. Chu Zhongyuan was so shameless that he picked up the huge pot lid at home and blocked it in front of him. The snowball hit the metal with a loud "clang", as if beating drums and gongs to celebrate for Lin Ling who survived the disaster.
Only Zheng Qiuji, who was eating a frozen pear, was hit directly. He began to accuse his companions of being inhumane.
"Hehe, I told you to make the first move."
Luo Dong was not moved at all by the other party's shouting. He stood at the door with his arms folded, looking down at Zheng Qiuji.
"Young Master, wait!"
Zheng Qiuji said something cruel in hatred, but suddenly he smelled a strange smell.
It smells a bit like... seafood?
He frowned and looked at the frozen pear in his hand. Could it be that he was so lucky that he got the world's first frozen pear that mutated into seafood flavor?
He was about to share his discovery with a few of his companions, and when he reached out his hands to support himself and stand up, his hands felt sticky.
Slimy, liquid, like... the tentacles of an aquatic creature?
“Ahhhh!!!”
Two screams were heard, one from Zheng Qiuji who realized what he had touched, and the other from a black thing with tentacles behind Zheng Qiuji.
Zheng Qiuji: "...? What kind of brachiopod did I eat?"
Gu Qingming and Chu Zhongyuan hurriedly took two steps forward and pulled Zheng Qiuji, who was standing still, back to their side. A mysterious aura began to cover them, and the black thing shook and gradually became abstract, turning into a petite girl wearing a black and yellow cheongsam.
"I worked so hard to moisturize my arms and feet! Do you know how cold and dry the winter in Linling is?!"
The cheongsam girl who had met Gu Qingming and Chu Zhongyuan once in Heshu Town was stomping her high heels on the snow, looking extremely angry.
"If it weren't for the threat of a certain stoat, no, the deal, I wouldn't bother to come and see the life and death of you guys - damn, why you?!"
The cheongsam girl just noticed that the person she was trading with was actually an acquaintance. She turned pale and tentacles started to fall from her eyes again.
But she was not the only one who was surprised. Gu Qingming and Chu Zhongyuan looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes.
The fact that the guardian deity Sanfu knows the cheongsam girl has a kind of beauty like Lin Daiyu defeating Lu Zhishen.
It’s like in the K-series novel, a Sun Wukong suddenly rushes in and starts beating Naya with a stick.
Gu Qingming: "This is ridiculous."
Chu Zhongyuan nodded repeatedly: "Indeed."
He walked up to the girl and said with emotion: "You look like a human."
Cheongsam girl: ??? Who are you scolding? I am not that bastard Sanfu, I don’t need to ask for a title!!!
