As soon as his feet landed, the white bone residue on the ground had already disappeared and completely sank into the ground, while Xia Xiao's body, like the surrounding air, turned red. This color was a bit exaggerated, but it did not stop him from moving forward.
Xia Xiao's eyes were dry for a moment, and gradually became dull, but he was only at the outskirts of the thousand-meter pit, still far away from the dark meteorite. But he couldn't sense his breath at all, whether it was because Ah Zhu helped him hide it or because the meteorite wanted to swallow it up, as if he had already reached another world, extremely far away.
"Xia Xiao is in danger."
Ah Zhu wore a wrist guard to help Xia Xiao conceal his breath. Through it, she could occasionally feel Xia Xiao's true breath. Although she didn't know what happened before, Xia Xiao's breath was already very weak, as if he was seriously injured. Normally, even if Xia Xiao was seriously injured, his breath was still relatively stable, not like the last spark in the fire at this time. If it went out, the whole fire would become cold.
Ah Zhu looked at Li Lunming, hoping that he would take action, but he was just staring at Xia Xiao's direction as before, and the surrounding vitality had already wrapped around Xia Xiao. The life-saving rope was tied, and as long as the turbulent sea became more turbulent, he would immediately pull it back without hesitation.
"Xia Xiao."
His dry eyes were scarlet due to the heat, but in his pupils, there was an extremely graceful figure, like a beautiful woman dancing, which was out of tune with the environment, but it made Xia Xiao keep moving forward. Xia Xiao staggered and walked with difficulty. Even though the evil spirit came forward and bit his leg, he still dragged the two-meter-tall behemoth forward.
"You bastard, are you possessed?"
Even though Huodou was weak and in poor spirits, he couldn't help but curse. If he continued walking like this, he would be burned to coal ash. If Xia Xiao knew the danger, he would not move forward. He cherished his life and didn't need anyone to remind him. But the illusion he saw before was too real to distinguish the truth from the false. In fact, he could still distinguish it, but the person who appeared in front of Xia Xiao at this time made him lose the mind to choose and judge.
In the heat, in front of Xia Xiao, a light blue dress was dragging on the ground. Xia Xiao hadn't seen that long-lost gentleness and elegance for a long time, and even thought he would never see it again. Even in his dreams, he couldn't look at her like this, with affectionate eyes, like returning to the inn in Longgang. That was the place where he and she met for the first time. Even though the inn was simple and crude, the love they had at that time lasted to this day.
"Xia Xiao."
That graceful figure made a faint voice, like a very light call. She seemed to be bound, hidden in an ancient fairy tale world. She needed a brave prince to save her and break the shackles on her body so that she could return to the world and the wilderness. But that voice hid other thoughts, like a struggle, like she didn't know how to choose.
"I thought I'd never see you again."
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Huodou's legs were weak and he couldn't hold Xia Xiao back, but he was sure that the only person who could make Xia Xiao so desperate was Shu Shuang! It was so hot, was it an illusion? This was the only possibility at the moment. This bastard, since he couldn't resist the illusion even with the energy of fire and water?
Looking at the meteorites in the distance, Huodou felt a little afraid. He was indeed not a good guy. If he was not a flame, he would probably fall here. But since he remained awake, he had to wake Xia Xiao up.
The big mouth closed, and the teeth penetrated deeply into Xia Xiao's calf, almost piercing through it. The pain caused Xia Xiao to slow down his movements, and Huodou finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“It’s time.”
Li Lunming was about to attack, but was stopped by the tower master. He looked from the black-clothed man holding his wrist to the tower master beside him and asked:
"What is the Lord Tower Master doing?"
"Smashed Meteorites stopped making things difficult."
"What's the meaning?"
Li Lunming turned his head to look. The surroundings where Xia Xiao stopped were not much different from before. Even though the red air disappeared, the heat was still there. The manic power continued to wreak havoc with the appearance of the fire element energy, which could put Xia Xiao's life in danger at any time. He was still far away from the broken meteorite, but very close to death. However, Li Lunming soon smelled a mysterious air in the air.
"We explained that Shattered Meteor didn't want to be used by the people of the Great Wilderness. Therefore, no one has ever absorbed its power, and no one has ever conquered it. Now it seems that he has indeed done it."
Li Lunming moved his fingers, and the vitality outside of Xia Xiao's body was concentrated in his chest. This way, it would not block his sense of the surroundings, but could wrap and protect him in an instant.
In the illusion, Xia Xiao's legs suddenly became unable to move, but the call from the front never stopped. The voice was crying, almost begging. Its owner had a wronged face and raised his delicate hand, as if he could touch Xia Xiao. The latter looked distressed, gritted his teeth, and took another step forward.
"What the hell?"
The face of the evil spirit changed drastically because of Xia Xiao's movement, and there was a lot of fear in his eyes. His body kept turning red due to the scorching heat around him, and the blisters from the burns appeared again. And this time, it was more deadly than the fire released by Luo Jing last time, because the range of the burns was all over the body!
The burning pain from the burns was more painful than the wounds from the swords, but Xia Xiao still moved forward. Adding the distance he had walked before, he had walked more than 300 meters in the thousand-meter-long pit. This distance surprised the tower master. This guy really couldn't be offended. What kind of changes would he have after absorbing the power of the heat star this time?
No one has ever reached that step, and no one has ever absorbed such manic power, so the tower master really doesn't know how much of an impact it can have on practitioners, but one thing is certain, that is, Xia Xiao will be reborn in the nirvana in the flames.
After taking the last step, Xia Xiao stopped. This time he stopped differently from the previous time. Previously he was blocked, but this time he reached the end. Xia Xiao could not reach the girl after all, because they were separated by Yin and Yang. She also stopped calling him, but said in a crying voice, pretending to be calm, not wanting to make Xia Xiao worry:
"come on."
Xia Xiao looked at her, crying and nodding. In such a hot place, people have no tears, all the water is evaporated, even the water and blood in Xia Xiao's body are almost dry. But the girl in the distance, standing on the edge of the meteorite, dropped a very obvious clear tear from her eyes. The tears rolled in the air and wet the land when they fell.
The moistened land continued to expand under the tears, and quickly became dozens of meters wide. Wherever the moist land reached, the air became cool, without the slightest bit of scorching temperature. The land changed drastically, from a hot hell to a cold and gloomy place. The girl who taught Xia Xiao the limit disappeared in it, and Xia Xiao woke up soon after.
“Let’s get started!”
He tilted his head and looked at the loose-mouthed scoundrel beside his leg, but the will to win in his eyes turned into doubt in the latter's eyes. Xia Xiao also became a complete fool?
