Chapter 229 The Horrifying Shadow
Zhuo Hua thought of his previous casual remark and the things that came true one after another, and he spat several times.
He doesn't want to be jerked human meat.
He shouted at the top of his lungs, "I want treasure, I want inheritance, I want opportunities, and I want to get out alive."
Su Xun's mouth twitched, and he looked at him as if he were an idiot: "Just make a wish."
"Then don't worry about it, just in case it works."
Lu Huai's eyes sparkled as he poked Zhuo Hua with the hilt of his sword, revealing a row of big white teeth.
He smiled and said, "Brother Zhuo, I want it too. Please include me in the list."
Su Xun rolled his eyes. Another one has gone crazy. There's no hope.
…
Chen Wenxuan stood at the front, so his vision was much wider than that of the others.
He said, "There's still some space down there, let's go down and take a look."
After saying this, he moved and disappeared from everyone's sight.
Nan Xiao, who was following closely behind, shouted, "Senior Brother Chen, wait for me."
Others followed suit.
The space below was larger and more open. What caught their eyes was a surging lava. Only a few stone slabs were scattered on the lava, unaffected by the lava.
These slabs are not very big, and can only accommodate two or three people. Some are even smaller, only enough for one person to stand.
Nan Xiao and Lu Huai were on one slab, Su Xun and Zhuo Hua were on another, Ming Cheng and Jian Mo were on another, and Chen Wenxuan stood alone on another.
Nan Xiao looked around. The passage was clearly at the upper level, but they were currently at the lower level. It was strange and powerful that the lower level could still pour magma into the upper level.
In the center of this magma, there stands a towering stone pillar.
It stood out from the stones beneath their feet.
The stone pillar was slender and long, pointing straight up into the sky. Its smooth surface, as if meticulously trimmed, stood out from the cluttered and rough surroundings, as if purposely placed there to attract everyone's attention.
Lu Huai looked up, his eyes narrowed slightly, and muttered to himself, "There seems to be something up there?"
Nan Xiao followed Lu Huai's line of sight, but because the distance was quite far and the slender stone pillar was exceptionally long, Nan Xiao stretched out most of his body and still didn't see what Lu Huai was talking about.
"No."
Lu Huai pulled her arm and pulled her back, "Be careful."
"Don't worry, I know my limits."
Chen Wenxuan was the person closest to the stone pillar. When he looked up from below, his vision became even narrower and he could not see anything.
He simply took out his magic sword and wanted to fly up to find out what was going on.
Several people were watching him with a hint of nervousness in their eyes. Su Xun shouted, "Senior Brother Chen, be careful."
Under the attention of everyone, Chen Wenxuan's figure slowly flew into the air. When he was about to reach the highest point of the stone pillar, Chen Wenxuan seemed to see something extremely terrifying. His pupils suddenly shrank. A terrifying aura rushed towards him. He used all his strength to block it with his magic sword.
Even so, his strength seemed so small and powerless in the face of this horror.
Chen Wenxuan's body fell from the air like a rag doll.
Everyone was startled and said in panic: "Senior Brother Chen."
The stone where Chen Wenxuan was originally standing has disappeared, having been submerged in the magma at some point.
Several people worked together and used their magic swords to catch Chen Wenxuan when he fell into the lava, and sent him to Jian Mo who was closest to him.
Just as Chen Wenxuan was about to speak, he spat out two mouthfuls of blood.
"Brother Chen, your injuries are too severe. Don't speak for now."
Jian Mo directly took out the Bone-Growing and Blood-Melting Pill and stuffed it into his mouth, using her spiritual power to help him swallow it.
The others had different expressions. Chen Wenxuan was the most powerful among them, and even he couldn't block the attack. What could they do?
The pill took effect quickly and Chen Wenxuan regained a lot of strength.
He grabbed Jian Mo's hand, and a lingering fear still appeared in his originally calm eyes.
He said, "Go quickly."
Just a blurry shadow, just a glance, can take half his life. How powerful is this existence?
Although everyone was a little far away, Chen Wenxuan's words were still clearly heard by everyone.
It’s not that I don’t want to leave, it’s that I can’t leave now.
The surrounding magma began to boil again, and the stones underfoot were slowly sinking.
This is going to force them to death.
Several people were slowly forced into the air, with no rocks to stand on below.
Nan Xiao fixed his gaze on the slender stone pillar.
Sometimes, behind a dead end, there may be a way out.
Nan Xiao narrowed his eyes and made a decision in his heart.
"Lu Huai, help me."
"No, I'll go."
Lu Huai frowned slightly, and he could tell what she was thinking at a glance.
Before Nan Xiao could speak, he moved and disappeared. When he appeared again, Lu Huai had reached the highest point of the stone pillar.
His eyes met the blurry shadow in the light, and in its red, almost empty pupils, Lu Huai saw contempt and ridicule.
His sword was very fast, even faster than Chen Wenxuan's sword.
Unfortunately, in the eyes of this ethereal shadow, it still appears so slow, so weak, and so presumptuous.
Lu Huai's sword was not aimed at the phantom, but at the things placed on it.
Just one sword and one glance were enough for him to see clearly.
The same scene appeared again, and Lu Huai was knocked down with one move.
"Junior Brother..."
“Lu Huai…”
Su Xun and Nan Xiao shouted at the same time.
Nan Xiao caught Lu Huai with the vines. Her hands supported his head, her voice trembling slightly: "Are you a tiger or not? Who asked you to do that?"
Lu Huai held Nan Xiao's hand tightly, his eyes still clear and bright, shining. He endured the pain and forced a smile: "I'm fine, I saw it."
"It's a small stone."
"The little stone is on top."
"Okay, I'll go take care of it in a bit, you swallow the pill first."
Nan Xiao forced back the bitterness in his eyes, fed the pill to his mouth, and watched him swallow it before he felt relieved.
She brought Lu Huai to Su Xun and said, "Fourth Senior Brother, I leave Lu Huai to you."
Su Xun grabbed her arm, and the indolence in his eyes turned serious: "You are not allowed to go."
Nan Xiao stared into his eyes, his gaze focused and serious. His tone was calm as he spoke word by word, "Fourth Senior Brother, Junior Junior Brother risked his life to help me see the thing above. It's a small stone. I have a contract with it. If the thing behind it wants to hurt me, it has to consider the small stone. So I am the most suitable person to go up."
Su Xun gradually loosened his hand.
His lips moved slightly: "Be careful."
"good."
Mingcheng looked at the bow in his hand, with a hint of reluctance in his eyes.
He threw the bow in the direction of Nan Xiao.
He casually said, "Take it and return it to me later."
Nan Xiao held the bow, his eyes instantly attracted to it, a warm feeling spread along the palm of his hand, as if the bow had life.
She could clearly feel that beneath the warmth, there seemed to be a faint power surging.
Could this be a divine weapon?
