Chapter 3096: Crisis (1)
The Vermilion Bird Ruins was filled with lava. Coupled with the fact that they could not float, Li Lingtian was worried that his subordinates would not be able to withstand the scorching heat.
However, since they had already entered the ruins, they could not be sure of their safety even if they were allowed to stay here. Li Lingtian could not help but hesitate.
"Dammit, why is there a no-fly zone?"
Li Lingtian’s brows were tightly knitted together as he felt extremely depressed. There was no no-fly zone in the Azure Dragon Ruins. Not only was the Vermilion Bird Ruins ’environment worse than the Azure Dragon Ruins, it was also impossible to fly. This was disgusting.
While Li Lingtian was lost in his thoughts, the crowd did not dare to speak. They only sized up their surroundings with fear in their eyes.
It was obvious that these fearless people were also terrified in this desperate situation.
"Everyone, follow me!" Li Lingtian said in a deep voice after a long while. 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓅𝓊𝓫.𝒸ℴ𝓶
Li Lingtian immediately strode forward and arrived before the lava. In an instant, a scorching aura assaulted his face.
Even Li Lingtian could not help but frown when he felt the scorching heat.
The temperature of the lava was extremely high. Li Lingtian was not confident that he could fall into the lava without any danger.
However, Li Lingtian’s presence in front of the lava calmed everyone down.
At the very least, they knew that the lava was not irresistible.
"Follow me!"
Li Lingtian took a deep breath and walked along the narrow passageway at the side.
Under the pressure of the Flight Prohibited Territory, Li Lingtian’s feet landed on the plate.
"Puchi!"
In an instant, an ear-piercing sound was heard. Li Lingtian’s feet were burning hot and he could not help but tremble slightly.
Li Lingtian was a Tier Four Domain Lord. Coupled with his superior control over flames, he could still feel the scorching heat. One could imagine how high the temperature of the lava in the Vermilion Bird Ruins was.
"All of you land first and familiarize yourselves with the temperature here. Then, slowly follow us!"
Li Lingtian rolled his eyes and shouted. At the same time, he stopped moving forward and stood still.
A moment later, Li Lingtian had gotten used to the temperature and continued walking forward.
"Kacha! Kacha!"
The plates seemed to be floating in the air. With every step Li Lingtian took, he could clearly sense the plates sinking.
This made Li Lingtian tremble in fear. Could it be that the plate suddenly broke halfway through?
This was only him. If there were more people, it might really break!
The more Li Lingtian thought about it, the more grave his expression became. He shouted in a deep voice, ""When you come over later, come over one by one!"
Everyone was stunned when they heard that. They could not understand why Li Lingtian would make such a choice. Logically speaking, it would be safer if a group of people went together. If there were any unexpected situations, he could also deal with them.
Wan Tianyu and the rest sized up Li Lingtian. When they noticed Li Lingtian’s grave expression, they knew that he was not joking. Hence, they chimed in.
Soon after, they saw that Li Lingtian had walked further away, so they began to walk forward as well.
Wan Tianyu was the first to step forward. They had been standing on the scorching hot plate for a long time so they were already used to the temperature and did not make any mistakes. However, after walking for a while, Wan Tianyu could feel the plate sinking further. At that moment, he finally understood why Li Lingtian had asked them to step forward one by one.
Immediately, Wan Tianyu walked even more carefully.
As for Li Lingtian, he had already walked to the next huge plate.
Li Lingtian stepped on the plate and stomped on it a few times. He was relieved when he did not feel the plate sinking.
He turned around and saw Wan Tianyu and the others walking over one by one in order. However, he became worried again.
When they rushed over, would some monsters suddenly appear in the lava? Or perhaps, would there be other dangers?
Staring at the crowd, Li Lingtian did not even dare to breathe loudly.
Not long after, Wan Tianyu and the others also arrived safely on this plate.
Li Lingtian breathed a sigh of relief when the hundred over people arrived safely.
Immediately after, Li Lingtian continued to move forward along the plate.
However, Li Lingtian was a little depressed. How long would it take for them to walk over such a long distance?
"D * mn, if I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have brought so many people! Too many people are a burden!"
Li Lingtian could not help but sigh inwardly. Due to this mentality, he did not realize that his speed had increased significantly.
Wan Tianyu and the others were relatively close to him and could barely keep up with him. However, the others gradually pulled away.
Two hours later, Li Lingtian had already advanced hundreds of miles. However, the volcano was still as small as a pocket in his eyes.
It was obvious that the volcano was still very far away from them.
"As expected, it’s a horse that runs to death when looking at the mountain!"
Li Lingtian sighed softly. Just as he was about to speed up, he heard a roar.
"Roar!"
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Li Lingtian’s heart tightened when he heard the sudden sound wave. He quickly turned his head and saw the lava rising not far behind Wan Tianyu and the others. A column of water condensed from fiery red lava rose into the air and swept toward the people on the plate.
"Not good, dodge quickly!"
"Run!"
In an instant, the group of people who happened to be enveloped by the fiery red lava were all frightened and wanted to escape in a panic.
"Quick, go save them!"
Li Lingtian’s pupils constricted as he reacted to the situation. He then ran toward the area.
However, it was impossible to fly in the Vermilion Bird Relic. It was too late to run.
"Roar!"
With a furious roar, the magma pillar suddenly turned into a fire dragon. It twisted its body and opened its bloody mouth to bite down!
"Puchi!"
The fire dragon was extremely fast. Before everyone could react, its body had already pounced down. Its sharp teeth suddenly opened and closed, swallowing the group of people into its mouth.
"Chi chi!"
A crisp sound rang out. In the next moment, countless dark red blood splattered out from the fire dragon’s mouth. Under the scorching high temperature, it quickly turned into a wisp of smoke and dust that scattered in the air!
"Hiss..."
Seeing this scene, everyone’s movements stopped and they were stunned on the spot.
