The only entrance to the ruins is in the volcano. If you want to enter, you can only pass through the crater, which happens to be the entrance to the dragon's lair. Unless you have special abilities, you will be discovered by the dragon once you get close.

Francois originally planned to wait patiently here for ten days and a half, waiting for the dragon to go out to look for food before taking the opportunity to sneak in. Unexpectedly, the dragon went out at this time. It was a god-given opportunity.

So he ignored the trouble of looking for Xu Cheng and others, and directly announced his departure, and even relaxed the conditions to the extent that anyone who saw the treasure would have a share.

"Bah bang bang!"

The capable people immediately clapped their hands and cheered for Francois's happiness.

Originally, Eurostar, as the organizer, was definitely going to take the lion's share, but now that Francois has offered generous terms, it depends on who has the ability to take more.

Without further ado, seeing that everyone agreed, Francois immediately announced his departure.

However, getting to the volcano is also a problem. Although the distance seems very close now, it is actually more than ten kilometers away. If there is no transportation, it will take a lot of time to walk there, and many ability users here are not in a hurry.

ability.

But Francois had already been prepared for this.

"Damian!"

As he gave the order, a male subordinate immediately stood up from behind him.

He walked to an open place, opened his mouth and inhaled continuously. His whole body bulged up at a speed visible to the naked eye, which directly burst the clothes on his body.

In the blink of an eye, the young man named Damian swelled to a size larger than a house, and the entire street could not accommodate his body, and he slowly flew into the sky.

As he flew into the air, his hair also grew crazily, like the roots of a banyan tree, hanging down to the ground in large numbers and becoming densely packed.

"Everyone, please hold on to your hair. Damian will send you safely to the volcano. Of course, if you have a way to get to the volcano yourself, you can do it yourself."

After that, Francois flew directly into the air with a few subordinates behind him: "I will take the first step and wait for you at the volcano."

Many people with the ability to fly also took to the air and flew towards the volcano.

The rest of the people could only reach out and grab the hanging hair of the human balloon and choose to hitch a ride.

Xu Cheng and Divana looked at each other, not expecting that the lava dragon would go out to look for food at this time.

If the dragon doesn't come back and the expedition team successfully finds the treasure or the relics of the God of Fire, wouldn't their plan fail?

However, Xu Cheng thought it was not that simple. This was a mission of normal difficulty. With his current strength, he might have to start it again. The people from this expedition group would probably go in just to deliver food. Needless to say, accidents would definitely happen.

Maybe when the Vulcan relics are found, the Celestials hiding in the dark will appear immediately.

Hundreds of ability users grabbed hold of the ropes hanging down from the sky, and the huge human balloon took them into the sky.

When Nagumo Narumi saw this scene, he was eager to participate, but Xu Cheng would not squeeze into the bus with this group of people. He directly wrapped Devana and Nagumo Narumi with the magnetic field and flew in the direction of the volcano.

In the abandoned city, many homeless people saw this magical scene. On one side was a volcano that was constantly erupting, and on the other side was a huge human balloon, with people hanging like bunches of grapes under their long hair.

When Xu Cheng arrived at the crater, Francois and others who were the first to set out had already arrived.

The erupting volcano is extremely dangerous. The whole mountain is shaking violently like an earthquake. A large amount of gravel is shaken into the crater. Molten gushes out like boiling water, sputtering in all directions. The air is full of

It was filled with suffocating toxic gas.

The mountain was divided into small island-like areas by a large amount of flowing lava. There were only a few places to stay. The smoke billowed in the sky and fireballs fell from time to time, which was very dangerous.

Francois glanced at Xu Cheng and the others, but did not come up to cause trouble.

Although he was annoyed that this woman, Devana, was secretly spreading rumors that he was gay, he also understood the priorities of the matter. The most important thing now was to find the relics of the gods in the underground ruins, and he would have plenty of time to punish the other party for his outspoken words afterwards.

Not long after, the human balloon also arrived on top of the volcano.

A large number of fireballs fell from the sky and hit the human balloon, but were easily bounced away.

The balloon landed on the slope of the volcano, and the ability users hanging on it loosened their ropes and jumped down.

Seeing that everyone was here, Francois didn't waste any time. He turned around and said to a female subordinate behind him: "Let's get started, Caroline."

Carolla was a white-haired woman in her thirties. She took a step forward, jumped off the crater amidst everyone's exclamations, and landed on a red-hot boulder. She stepped on it and immediately let out a breath of joy.

There was a sizzling sound and bursts of smoke.

Caroline ignored the high temperature under her feet, raised her hand, pointed it at the boiling molten water in front of her, and drew it out of thin air.

Just like Moses parting the sea, the molten lava that kept rolling in front of him was forcibly divided, revealing the charred black rock formations pouring below.

Everyone was surprised by the ability that Caroline showed. She was definitely a fourth-level esper, and a strong one at the fourth level. Separating the lava was nothing, but she had to resist the high-temperature energy brought by the lava.

It's not easy.

Devana was also secretly surprised. This woman's strength was not comparable to hers, but she was just a subordinate. Fortunately, she had Xu Cheng by her side, otherwise she would not have dared to cause trouble here.

Damian, who recovered from the human balloon, put on the pants he carried with him, and then distributed portable walkie-talkies to all people with abilities.

Francois looked back at the dense crowd of hundreds of people below: "Everyone, the next step will be very dangerous. I confirm again that if you want to withdraw now, it is still too late."

No one chooses to quit. Those who can come here are a group of guys who are not afraid of death. Of course, they will not miss the good opportunity to enter the ancient ruins just because of the slight danger.

"Very good, then let's go."

Francois jumped off the crater first, followed by the others.

Xu Cheng and the other three mingled in the crowd and followed the large army into the separated magma.

Caroline walked at the front, using her telekinesis ability to continuously separate the molten lava in front of her, and even formed an invisible shield to protect hundreds of people from the scorching heat.

However, there is no way to cool down the exposed black rock formations, and the soles of many people's shoes melt immediately when they step on them. They can only find a solution on their own.

If even this small difficulty cannot be solved, then it is better to run away as soon as possible.

Xu Cheng had just walked a few steps away when he felt his back sink, and Nayun Asuka, who was hitting someone with the ball, had jumped onto his back.

Xu Cheng subconsciously moved his hands back to hold her buttocks, instantly distinguishing the difference between her and his sister Nayun Asuka's touch.

It was just an accident. He quickly moved his hands to the crook of his legs.

But Nagumo Narumi didn't care. She took out her mobile phone and filmed this shocking scene. She planned to make a documentary about her adventure career for future generations to enjoy.

The large army followed the sloping rock formations in the volcano and quickly entered the bottom of the lava. Looking around, there was rolling hot magma everywhere, surging upward with the eruption. It was like being in a hell.

middle.

If Caroline directly revokes her telekinesis at this time, hundreds of people may be buried at the bottom of the magma.

After reaching the bottom, a group of constantly rotating light appeared in the separated magma, which looked like the center of the storm.

Xu Cheng was very familiar with this thing. The entrances to the two Tombs of Heroes looked like this.

The other ability users showed excitement. According to the news from the Italian Provisional Government, this rotating group of light is the door leading to the ancient ruins.

Francois jumped in first, followed by the others.

After experiencing the familiar feeling of weightlessness, Xu Cheng opened his eyes and found that he had arrived in a dark underground space.

It looks like an underground cave somewhere, with a large number of strange stalactites hanging from the top, and a trail leading into the dark depths.

There is a large cavity at the top of the cave not far away, and a large amount of molten lava is flowing down from it, converging into a red river on the ground, and high-temperature air is coming towards you.

Xu Cheng was about to put Nayun Narumi down on his back, but her thighs tightened around Xu Cheng's waist, and her chin rested on his shoulder.

"Mugu, are there any unhatched dragon eggs in here?"

"Who am I asking? That dragon might be a male."

"Males can also lay eggs."

"Where did the egg come from?"

"Didn't you bring two of them?"

Divana on the side listened to the exchange between the two, and a black line appeared on her forehead.

More people with abilities came in from outside, and hundreds of people quickly crowded this small place.

There was a person with abilities who was squeezed close to the river formed by the lava.

The calmly flowing molten lava suddenly bulged into a big bag. The next moment the big bag burst open, and a monster that looked like a dragon but not a dragon or a tiger but not a tiger jumped out of it. Its whole body was made of molten lava.

This monster would knock the person with abilities who got too close to the ground from behind, aim at the head and bite him.

"Ahhhhh!"

The esper let out an extremely painful scream. Not only was he bitten, but the monster's scorching heat burned his entire body.

The sudden change shocked everyone, but they were all experienced ability users. Someone immediately shot out a blast of biting cold air, cooling the monster and turning it into a rock.

The person next to him kicked it and smashed it into pieces.

Although the monster has been dealt with, the ability user who was knocked down by it still died unfortunately, with half of his head bitten off.

"Don't get close to the lava..."

Just as Francois was about to give orders, a large number of bags suddenly swelled up in the lava river. After each bag burst, a lava monster jumped out and pounced on the ability users.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Caroline, the telepathic person, directly used her ability to turn into an invisible wall, and the monsters hit it and made loud noises.

More monsters crawled out of the lava, and their numbers kept increasing.

"Let's go!"
