Volume 2, Chapter 337: Volcano.
For the next period of time, Ye Tingmu and a few others continued to explore forward.
As more and more people gathered, the road ahead became narrower and narrower.
Gradually, the plains disappeared, the forests vanished, and a ridge of ravines and gullies appeared ahead. The vegetation became increasingly sparse, and finding food became increasingly difficult.
Many people were already afraid to move forward. At least on the outskirts, they could still eat tree bark and grass roots, but once they entered this place, they could only eat dirt. However, it must be said that the treasures also increased.
Many people continued to move forward. Ye Tingmu had no way to retreat because the fragments were still inside. His primary purpose for this trip was to obtain the fragments, so naturally, there was no way to retreat.
But the further you go, the more desolate it becomes and the higher the temperature becomes.
Gradually, I drank most of the water I brought with me and was very hungry and tired.
Some people are beginning to fall behind.
Ye Tingmu had no choice but to stop and, after some deliberation, finally made the decision. He, Chongming, and Ying Changle would continue forward to search for the inheritance at the other end of the river.
Baili Jianhan and his companions were ordered to return along the same route, and to obtain as many treasures as possible while ensuring their own safety.
In fact, it was enough, they also gained a lot of magic weapons along the way.
Besides, it's still early, and the magic weapons here will continue to refresh.
After giving everyone a few words of advice, Ye Tingmu, Ying Changle, and Chongming continued forward without stopping.
Occasionally, people could be seen along the way, but they all looked extremely miserable.
In fact, the three of them weren't much better.
As we continued to go deeper, the surface temperature reached 50 degrees Celsius.
The ground around them was covered with burn marks, and the soles of the three people's feet were burned with holes. If they were not strong, they would have been roasted long ago.
The heat around them was getting hotter and hotter, making the three of them very irritable.
And the road ahead is still long.
Gradually they saw the exposed bones on the ground.
They looked particularly creepy. These people must have been former trial participants who died of heat or starvation here.
It looks like it has been around for a long time.
After crossing another ridge, a red light appeared in front of us.
It hangs high in the sky, then falls down and spreads in all directions.
It was a volcano with flowing magma, extremely hot. Ye Tingmu frowned and looked in the direction of the system panel. The fragments were located there.
Such a scene was daunting, but the three of them did not stop.
As you get closer to the volcano, the temperature becomes higher.
Wherever gullies on the ground intersect, lava can be seen flowing everywhere.
The moment the foot lands, a "sizzling" sound is heard, just like teppanyaki.
The three of them grinned with distorted faces.
"Damn it, this damn place doesn't allow us to use spiritual energy. Are they trying to kill us?" Chongming cursed.
Ying Changle said unhappily: "You can go back."
This one sentence made Chongming shut up.
After many twists and turns, the three of them finally arrived under the volcano.
At this time, a stone staircase appeared in front of them. The stone staircase was simple and ancient.
Keep going up.
On both sides there is boiling magma flowing.
There was smoke all around.
The temperature was getting higher and higher, and Ye Tingmu felt his breathing was getting faster.
As you go up the stone steps, they become wider and wider.
Ye Tingmu counted and found that each section of stone steps had 99 steps.
After walking through the 99th floor, a flat stone platform will appear in front of you.
And then there are stone steps.
And so on.
There are nine floors in total.
Ye Tingmu murmured in his heart, could this be the meaning of the ninety-nine heavens?
When they climbed onto the last stone platform.
There is a wide road ahead.
There are strange stone pillars standing around.
There are also various patterns carved on the stone pillars, including dragons, phoenixes, unicorns, black tortoises... and so on.
Most of the carvings are of various mythical beasts that they know from ancient mythology.
As they stepped into this place, the temperature dropped suddenly and the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.
The overall condition has improved a little.
Walking here, the expressions of the three people became inexplicably solemn and dignified. If their guess was correct, this was the final inheritance that the blue shadow mentioned.
It is also the location of the God’s Tomb, which is the ultimate treasure trove of the entire fairy mountain.
With excitement and anticipation in his heart, Ye Tingmu couldn't help but speed up his steps.
Finally, passing the stone pillar, they saw a tombstone built against the mountain.
It is about three meters high, but it is difficult to see clearly what is carved on it.
All I knew was that he was completely pitch black, with bursts of white mist rising around him.
Because there is a stream of clear spring flowing out from the small side of the stone tablet. It is called a clear spring, but in fact it is a boiling hot spring.
Seeing the water flow, the three people's eyes lit up. They had walked all the way, and had been hungry and thirsty. At this moment, they all felt that their whole bodies were hollowed out.
He ran forward in a panic.
"Oooooh...it's so hot."
Ye Tingmu didn't care at all. He drank the boiling water directly without caring about anything else. His ancient immortal body could withstand this temperature.
"Ah..." He stood up and let out a breath.
White smoke billowed out of his mouth.
Seeing this scene, Ying Changle and Chongming were completely convinced.
What is a ruthless person? This is a ruthless person.
The two of them had at least found something to hold the water until it cooled down, so he could just put his head in and drink. At this moment, his face was completely red from the heat.
Just like Guan Gong.
“It feels great!”
The three people who drank enough water lay directly on the ground.
Looking at the sea of stars above my head, I was in a daze at the sky that was reflected red by the volcano.
Looking back on the journey, it was really not easy. After drinking enough water, they don’t want to move at all and just want to lie down.
After a long time, two people suddenly ran over from a distance and headed straight towards the clear spring, which scared the three of them.
"I go to Savage?"
This was the first reaction of the three people.
Because the man had messy hair, torn clothes, and an extremely dry face. His clothes were tattered and covered in mud.
"Fuck savage, do you think the three of us look like savages too?"
It would be fine if you didn't say it, but now that you do, they really look alike, and the three of them are not much better.
Those who can make it here are not ordinary people. The two people in front of them, one is ranked fifth on the Heavenly Immortal List, and the other is ranked eighth on the Heavenly Immortal List. Neither of them is easy to deal with.
They are all top-notch among the trial-takers here.
Looking at the embarrassed looks of the two, the three of them clicked their tongues. It's not easy for them.
After drinking the water, the two men lay on the ground with a look of despair, just like the three men before them, and they showed no hostility towards the three people beside them.
To be honest, if Ye Tingmu hadn't been carrying the coffin, they wouldn't have been able to recognize who the three people in front of them were.
However, judging from the appearance of these three people, they are not much better than them.
All I can say is that after wandering thousands of miles, I became a beggar.
Ye Tingmu, who had almost rested, did not delay any longer. Instead, he stood up and walked towards the stone tablet in front.
When he reached the foot of the stone tablet, he saw eight small stone tablets lined up in a row, with figures of different shapes in the middle.
Ye Tingmu touched his chin, studied it carefully, and then took out a piece of jade from his arms.
Comparing them carefully one by one.
Seeing this, Ying Changle and Chongming also took out a piece of jade from their arms one after another. These were left behind after the death of the last beast king of the Eight Gates in the first level.
Unexpectedly, it comes in handy now.
At this time, Ye Tingmu also came to the stone tablet, his eyes lit up, and he shouted.
"It's you..."
