Chapter 38 Dead End?

PreviousBack to directoryNext
The altar spirit did not tell Xifa what to do next.

Fortunately, after it was wiped out, the space here turned back into the original secret room.

The mechanism of how to go next is also revealed.

No wonder I didn't see it at first glance, because it was hidden behind the stone statue.

It was a stone tablet with a large roller as tall as one person placed on it.

Walking forward, Xifa saw that the wheel was a roulette wheel made up of layers of nested layers, like onion rings.

Each circle is engraved with tiny dragon inscriptions. Fortunately, there is no need to learn dragon inscriptions. As long as intelligent creatures who are related to giant dragons see it, they will naturally understand the meaning it wants to express in their minds.

After a cursory glance at the roulette wheel, Xifa found that these dragon texts were illogical.

Then he set his sights on the stone tablet, because there was also a group of dragon inscriptions on it.

"Just say 'open the door' in the direction of the pointer to open the door."

It's not very difficult. I guess when this mechanism was designed, it wasn't there to test the trialists.

Xifa easily turned the wheel and pieced together the password to open the next door.

He forgot that dragons and intelligent creatures with dragon blood can indeed open this door easily.

But those wizards from other races or without dragon bloodline will have to learn this complex dragon script in order to obtain the blessing of dragon bloodline.

Dragon texts are difficult to memorize. If you don’t understand them well enough and your magical attainments are not high enough, the dragon texts you just read will disappear from your mind in an instant.

Obviously, Newt was satisfied with both points, so he learned it quite easily, which made Xifa mistakenly believe that dragon writing is just like ordinary writing. As long as he knows it, he can use magic to imprint it in his mind.

Rumble————

The hidden stone door suddenly appeared.

It is about four meters high and has complex patterns on it.

Before Xifa could collect all the patterns in his mind, the stone door suddenly fell into pieces.

But it didn't explode, but turned into bricks the size of a palm.

They use the gap between them as the axis, starting from the middle, flipping up and down, left and right, and disappearing every time two bricks touch each other.

Perhaps the magic at the entrance to the Focused Incense behind the Leaky Cauldron is a reference to the magic here.

When all the bricks were offset, the hazy light shield behind the door quietly disappeared and shattered.

Then, the scene behind the door also came into Xifa's eyes.

It’s not the same path as before!

Xifa was secretly thankful in his heart at first.

Obviously, in the spiral staircase scene before, if I didn't notice the difference in space, I would spiral up the stairs step by step.

Then you will definitely be teleported to a strange location!

Although, the scene behind the door is not very beautiful.

That's really a cave at the bottom of a volcano.

Not far below, there is a height difference of about two meters.

It is a famous red lava lake with gurgling bubbles.

Through a magic door, the raging heat wave rushed towards me.

Xifa didn't raise his eyebrows, but silently took out and drank a bottle of Luna brand special cold drink.

A chill instantly spread from the stomach to the whole body. The feeling of drinking down a bottle of iced Coke in the dog days of summer made Xifa couldn't help but shiver.

Take out fire retardant spray and apply it all over your body to ensure that your clothes will not be burned.

Then he stepped through the magic door and came to the world of fire behind the door.

As soon as Xifa's back foot landed, the magic door behind him suddenly disappeared.

Um?

A bad feeling came to my mind.

But looking left and right, there was no other living thing except dark rocks or magma.

After standing on guard for a while, Xifa attributed this uneasy feeling to human instinct, which is the so-called claustrophobia and awe of nature.

That is, the worry of being trapped, suffocated, or losing the sense of control, and the helpless feeling of being helpless when the volcano really erupts.

Suppressing the discomfort in his heart, Xifa shifted his attention and began to look for a way forward.

Now, I am at the lowest point of the volcanic cave.

Except for the bubbling magma pool in the center.

The ground surrounding it is like the bottom of the school's black lake.

It was dark and recorded many traces of undercurrent erosion.

laugh--

There was a sound of gas leaking from above.

Xifa looked up in response.

It is a high-temperature and high-pressure gas in the gaps between rocks.

I saw this air flow mixed with high energy instantly penetrated the thick layer of rock blocking it in front.

Xifa silently raised the alert threshold.

In addition to the physical penetrating power, these gases are also mixed with free fire-attribute magic power that has been accumulated for an unknown period of time.

It can be said that most of the magic shields will be destroyed instantly.

Based on just observation, Xifa concluded that the dragon skin protective gear on his body could not stop it.

In other words, when you are climbing up, if you do not choose a good foothold.

The fragile internal and external pressure balance between rock gaps will be destroyed.

Maybe it was an explosion, maybe it was a gas jet...

But it is certain that I will be injured at least, or lose mobility at worst!

However, I have cheating equipment.

With the air boots, you can fly in the air.

Just when Xifa was about to take off, the ground suddenly shook violently.

Xifa glanced at the magma lake subconsciously, and his expression changed instantly.

The lava lake that used to be just filled with bubbles and was extremely docile is now like a bomb being thrown into it.

Hot magma gushes out.

Most of the small bowl-shaped hole was filled in the blink of an eye.

Quickly adjusting his mentality, Xifa jumped upwards with all his strength, letting the empty boots reach the limit of its power as quickly as possible.

Once the delicate balance is broken, it collapses like a domino.

Xifa hasn't escaped very high yet.

What was originally a pond-sized spout expanded into an entire cave.

Oops!

Xifa quickly grabbed the passing stones and adjusted his posture.

It turns out that volcanic eruptions are not just magma spewing out, but also mixed with pungent-smelling high-temperature gases.

Adding more air out of thin air will naturally lead to the generation of gas shock waves.

This makes the jet-type magic guide aerial boots difficult to control.

Just now, due to the intervention of a turbulent current, Xifa tilted towards the red rock in his sight.

It contains a large amount of high-temperature and high-pressure gas. Once it touches the upward trend, it will be swallowed up by the rapidly rising magma surface behind it.

Fortunately, there was a stone just within reach, with the help of which Xifa could quickly adjust his flight path.

This can't go on like this.

Originally, the flying speed of the air-treading boots was roughly the same as the rising speed of the magma.

Now there is turbulence again.

Looking around, he still couldn't see the passage at the top. Xifa felt that he had to find a way, otherwise, he would be swallowed by the magma sooner or later.

When Xifa was involved in turbulence, he had to adjust his posture.

The magma surface was closer to him.

If this continues, Xifa will probably perish here...
