Ninety-one. Searing Earth

Over the scorching canyon, the calls gradually faded away.

If the subsequent time elapses unchanged, Lu Li still has 10 minutes and 600 seconds left to act.

But the devil may not give him so much time.

The pain on the back of the hand is gradually becoming clearer, which means that the devil leaving the burn marks is approaching.

I hope the construction of this stone tower has something to do with Richard.

Lu Li thought and walked in the direction pointed by the stone tower.

Tens of meters later, a second stone tower emerged in the twisted air, with the sharp stone at the top pointing firmly in a certain direction.

"151...152...153..."

The canyon is barren with only rocks and gravels. Starting from the third stone tower, the terrain changes, and hazy black mountains appear in the distance. Dark red magma is distributed on the surface of the mountains like veins.

At about 240 seconds, Anna's second call sounded in the sky.

At 341 seconds, Lu Li discovered the fifth stone tower, with the sharp stone pointing forward.

A dozen meters away from where it pointed, a river of magma passed across it.

Lu Li tilted his head slightly and landed on the three demons lingering more than ten meters away.

They were attracted by the breath of Lu Li's soul one after another, but they just kept a distance and did not dare to get close. And Lu Li had no intention of wasting time on them.

Looking back, the lava river more than ten meters wide in front of me is not impossible to cross - many rocks half the size of a foot protrude from the surface of the magma, spreading from the shore to the opposite side.

Obviously, these are also artificially placed.

Many of the rocks in the river have been broken into pieces, or have become charred black, or have been burned to a fiery red color, flaming like charcoal.

Although they are boiling hot, they are better than wading through this lava.

Lu Li approached the river, picked up large enough rocks from the shore and threw them into the lava river.

The magma exploded, but it was difficult to reach Lu Li, who had avoided it. In the next half minute, Lu Li threw in a few more rocks, making more footholds within ten meters of the shore, but the remaining few meters near the other shore were difficult to reach.

During the transportation, three lemures were always lingering not far away, looking at this place covetously.

If he had enough time, Lu Li could completely smooth out the magma river and travel through it calmly.

But the growing heat on the back of his hand reminded Lu Li that a crisis was approaching.

Holding his patch hat, Lu Li stepped onto the first rock.

The viscous magma flows slowly at the feet, and the boiling bubbles explode, releasing a moment of intense heat.

After close contact, Lu Li's soul began to feel unbearable heat. This also meant that even Lu Li's vigorous vitality would dissipate instantly if he fell into the magma.

Lu Li calmly walked out of the densest few meters of rocks. The rocks in front began to become sparse. A low roar came from behind, and three demons surrounded the shore, blocked by the lava.

Ignoring what was behind him, he arrived at the middle of the magma smoothly and quickly. It was even hotter here, and the distorted sulfur-smelling air obscured his vision, so much so that Lu Li had the illusion that his soul was sweating.

The stones he threw before ended here, and going forward, only the burning, charred, dark red stones full of cracks remained.

Less than ten meters away from the other side is like a natural chasm.

There was no point in hesitating. Lu Li stepped on the first burning stone and without stopping, walked towards the second dark stone half a meter away.

But when Lu Li stepped on a cracked rock less than three meters away from the other shore, a corner of the rock shattered and sank into the magma.

As soon as his back foot was retracted, Lu Li, who was stepping on it, could not maintain his balance and was about to fall backward——

A rough and unreal palm gently pressed against Lu Li's back.

The strength of this arm was so weak that it could be ignored, but it was enough to provide assistance when Lu Li had difficulty maintaining balance, preventing him from leaning backward.

After Lu Li stabilized, he quickly jumped over the remaining three rocks and finally stepped onto the rocky beach on the other side.

Looking back, I saw that the broken rock had been broken into pieces and was wrapped in the incoming magma.

The palm supporting him behind his back just now was definitely not an illusion.

I remembered that Mrs. Merlin once said that she would meet old friends, such as enemies, in hell... Now it seems that she would meet more than just enemies.

Withdrawing his gaze, Lu Li looked forward. More than ten meters away, the sixth stone tower stood beside the huge rock.

"452...453...454..."

Hopefully this stone tower is not far from your destination.

Following the direction of the sixth stone tower to find the seventh stone tower, and then following the direction of the seventh stone tower, Lu Li came to a deep pit several hundred meters in diameter.

The land is charred and carbonized, and the foot of this volcano flowing with magma seems to have been hit by something like a meteorite.

Lu Li found some independent footprints on the edge of the pit. Without hesitation, he entered the pit from the edge and approached the center of the pit in the direction of the stone tower.

The temperature in the pit is lower than outside. At least the charred earth is no longer hot, and there is no longer twisted air rising.

As if the fog on the glass had been wiped away, Lu Li's vision became clearer and clearer. He also saw a stone more than ten meters high standing in the center of the deep pit a hundred meters away, as well as a bonfire rising beside it, and a bonfire.

silhouette in front.



This is the "thirteenth day" since Richard arrived in Hell - what Richard considers to be the thirteenth day.

There is no night in hell, and the sky is always shrouded in dark red, flame-like light. So after every sleep, Richard would use a ground stone chip to make a mark on the bottom of the meteorite.

Because the "night" when he first came to hell and suffered from insomnia was also counted as a day by Richard.

Richard was lucky. When he regained consciousness, he was lying on the bank of a lava river instead of at the bottom of the river.

The thought "This is hell" that floated in his mind prevented Richard from thinking wildly. After all, he remembered that he had jumped into the abyss, and the ancient god sleeping there had no reason to let go of his soul.

In any case, Richard, who was already in hell, stayed by the river for a while, waiting for the legendary demon Devil to come and collect his soul - he did not admit that he was afraid and his feet were weak.

Perhaps demons and the like were just made up by people who had never been to hell. Richard did not see any other creatures except himself, so he began to explore the surroundings and discovered this crater at the foot of the mountains.

This relatively unheated crater, where the soft, charred black earth made Richard comfortable, was tentatively designated as his camp, and he then used this place as a center to explore outwards.

For example, around the crater, or on the other side of the magma.

To Richard's horror, starting on the third day, he began to feel hungry, and the surrounding temperature seemed to become hotter and more unbearable.

Then, Richard saw the devil.

Then Richard no longer had to worry about food.

Richard didn't know how frightened others were when they came to hell, but Richard felt pretty good.

After all, he has always lived like this, and from a certain perspective, his life was worse than it is now - at least it won't be cold in hell, and there is no need to worry about food.

Although the taste of that thing is really hard to describe.
