"Don't worry, these insects appeared in the hot spring. Obviously, they can't escape their animal nature and like warm and comfortable places! As long as we leave the area around the hot spring, the danger will quickly decrease." Jiang Hai finally said something reassuring.
Brother Chongzi gritted his teeth and insisted on moving forward!
As they moved forward step by step, everyone finally understood how these one-eyed dragons had survived to this day!
In this underground world, there are actually large areas of hot springs!
One part even connected to an underground river. When the group was passing by a hot spring pool, they heard a loud splash, and a four or five meter long fish was completely cooked and rushed out of the spring!
This inevitably shocked everyone!
If he wasn't afraid of the countless sixteen-eyed centipedes around him, Brother Chongzi would definitely try to taste the fish! After all, they haven't eaten hot food for a long time.
Gradually, just as Grandpa Jiang Hai said, the temperature around began to drop, causing the sixteen-eyed centipedes to become increasingly scarce.
So the pace of several people quickened a lot, but as they walked, Grandpa Jiang Hai and Nangong Manyun couldn't help but cough slightly.
"Not good... The volcanic ash here is too heavy. If you inhale it into your lungs, it will soon make it difficult for you to breathe! We must leave quickly, otherwise we will be left with sequelae that will be bad."
Old man Jiang Hai reminded Brother Chongzi to walk faster, while Zhang Fan, holding Mr. Fei, increased his speed a lot!
But after walking only a few hundred meters, Zhang Fan suddenly stopped!
"What's wrong?" Old man Jiang Hai's heart sank, thinking he had encountered a monster!
"I feel like someone is spying on us in secret!" His voice was serious, attracting the curious gazes of several people.
"Who?" Brother Chongzi asked.
Zhang Fan shook his head and did not express his uncertainty. But he waved his hand, urging everyone to follow him immediately and not stay here for too long.
The crowd quickened their pace again. This time, the Taoist Zi Jin, who was standing in the middle, suddenly grabbed the person in front of him.
"What's wrong!" Old man Jiang Hai asked in surprise!
"Slow down, I feel like we're very close to where we're going! The smell is getting stronger, it seems like that thing stayed here not long ago!"
Jiang Hai Chongzi and the others all paused! The smell that Taoist Zi Jin was talking about was the horned snake.
Taoist Zijin has a very keen sense of smell, and he feels that the smell here is the strongest! This means that the snake had come here before when it left Wanku Mountain and went to the outside world to survive the disaster!
Old man Jiang Hai had sharp eyes. No matter whether there was a crisis or an opportunity ahead, he finally realized for the first time that he was getting closer and closer to where he wanted to go.
The crowd moved forward slowly. At this time, they could already smell the increasingly strong smell of sulfur hitting their nostrils!
This may even make people feel dizzy and as if their head is heavy, which is definitely not a good sign.
However, as everyone quickened their pace, the unchanging silver-gray environment in front of them finally changed!
Zhang Fan turned on the flashlight and shone it a few hundred meters ahead!
All I saw was a gentle slope going gradually upwards, and at the end of the light, it was surprisingly empty!
When the light shines over there, you can see a lot of flying dust in the air in front, and bursts of strange humming sounds are also coming from that direction.
"This...what is going on? Could it be that there is a canyon under our feet? Or a rift valley? What kind of structure is this...there is an abyss under this mountain. Could it be that we are in the deepest part of a large rift valley?
Mr. Jiang Hai made his guess based on the terrain!
However, Brother Chongzi and the Taoist Zi Jin next to him frowned deeply.
"If it really is a rift, we have no way of crossing it with the limited equipment we have! And the deeper we go underground, the stronger the smell of sulfur I feel! This means that there are more and more toxic gases in the air... We can hold on, but can Mr. Fei hold on?"
Brother Chongzi spoke worriedly, looking helplessly at Mr. Fei who was held in Zhang Fan's arms and brought down together.
"We have finally found Wanku Mountain, but must we give up because of some trivial reasons? No matter what, I must take a look."
Mr. Jiang Hai seemed a little stubborn, but everyone could understand.
Therefore, for the next few hundred meters, everyone was very silent. Only old man Jiang Hai climbed up the gentle slope first, raised his flashlight impatiently, and shone it into the deeper darkness.
Just as Brother Chongzi said before, this really is a rift valley!
Even with the light from the Wolf Eye flashlight, it was impossible to see the situation on the other side! Even if the light was directed at everyone's feet, it was impossible to see the situation below the abyss.
This made everyone in the team frown, and old man Jiang Hai shook his head speechlessly.
"It is God's will... It is God's will!" He sighed deeply, "I knew that the narrow escape along the way meant that there was no hope of finding Wanku Mountain. Now we have no way forward! Perhaps... This is the final destination of Lao Hu!"
When everyone heard what Mr. Jiang Hai said, they frowned!
Especially Brother Chongzi, staring at Jiang Hai's back and saying, "Old man, what do you mean by this... Mr. Fei did survive without any danger, but you can't find the place you want to go! What does it have to do with Mr. Fei being alive... You just said that a near miss means there is no hope. Could it be that you are still happy that my brothers died here!"
Brother Chongzi's face suddenly turned ferocious, and he stared at Jiang Hai's back with anger!
Nangong Manyun sighed: "Chongzi, calm down! Now that we have come this far, we should not give up easily. And Mr. Jiang Hai is not as selfish as you think, you just have too many misunderstandings!"
Brother Chongzi snorted coldly: "I hope I misunderstood. Remember Jiang Hai! My brothers died here because they were unlucky... but they are not your tools!"
Old man Jiang Hai listened to the deep resentment in Brother Chongzi's tone! His brows furrowed. But at this moment, Zhang Fan looked into the distance and suddenly saw a shadow in the distance!
"No... I can see the location of the other side! Bug, do you have any flares? Release one and see!"
Brother Chongzi was stunned for a moment: "Zhang Fan, you are kidding! There is a hot spring behind us. If I open fire, it will most likely attract the attention of those bugs! Then none of us can escape."?
