Chapter 270 The Raging Lava Torrent
While they were talking, Mo Fan, who was standing next to the lava stream, noticed a strange phenomenon in the lava stream. Logically, the lava here should be flowing slowly, but now the lava in the stream has begun to flow into the low-lying areas and will soon spread to his feet.
Mo Fan said with a solemn expression, "I think we need to leave here as soon as possible."
"Yes, we really should leave here," Jiang Han agreed.
Seeing that Mo Fan and Jiang Han both said this, Zhao Manyan and Zhang Xiaohou, who were still thinking about the Fire Calamity Fruit, couldn't help but ask, "Why?"
"There aren't many whys. If you don't want to lose your life here, leave as soon as possible," Jiang Han said.
Seeing that Jiang Han and Mo Fan were both quite serious, no one dared to hesitate any longer. Even if they really wanted the Fire Calamity Fruit, they didn't dare to risk their lives. Mo Fan used shadow-type skills to lead the way, while Jiang Han stayed behind to cover the rear.
Although Zhao Manyan, Zhang Xiaohou, and Chen Ying were a little confused when they returned the way they came, they still followed Mo Fan and the others and rushed down as fast as they could.
Suddenly, a stream of bright red lava blocked their way, seemingly threatening to cut off their escape route.
"Holy crap, when did this path get blocked by lava?" Zhao Manyan exclaimed.
"Are you stupid? This lava isn't just slowly flowing down; there's a huge amount of lava pouring down from above. If it continues like this tonight, it'll definitely roast you alive," Mo Fan cursed.
"Don't waste time, get across quickly, my ice bridge won't last long."
As Jiang Han spoke, a sky-blue starlight shone from his body, and wisps of cold mist emanated from him. The temperature of the lava stream continued to drop. With the blessing of the Soul Seed Netherworld Soul Ice, the lava stream began to cool and turned into a road paved with volcanic rock, with a thin layer of ice hanging on it.
"Let's go." Mo Fan took the lead and crossed the path paved with flame rocks.
Zhao Manyan, Zhang Xiaohou, and Chen Ying followed closely behind, followed by the Swift Star Wolf carrying Lingling and Xinxia. Jiang Han was naturally at the very back. As he passed, lava flowed down from above the road again.
After passing through that path, Zhao Manyan and the others realized the seriousness of the situation. If it weren't for Jiang Han, they would definitely have been stuck in the middle of the cave, and what awaited them would have been a lava bath.
As everyone continued running downhill, Xue Ling, nestled in Ling Ling's arms, suddenly squeaked twice. Mo Fan, who was leading the way, and Jiang Han, who was bringing up the rear, both stopped. Mo Fan asked, "Did you hear anything?"
"What time is it? Who cares about the sound?" Zhao Manyan cursed.
"Shut up, all of you," Jiang Han said indifferently.
After the group shut their mouths, they heard a series of rumbling sounds coming from above the cave. Although the sound was faint because it was quite a distance away, it was still audible.
Zhao Manyan swallowed hard, then asked cautiously, "Jiang Han, what was that sound?"
"What do you think?" Jiang Han said with a smile.
Even without Jiang Han saying it, they all knew what it was: lava. A large amount of lava was pouring down the winding road like a flood, the sound of the lava churning and rolling mixed with the sound of the lava waves hitting the stone walls.
The chilling sound had vanished; it turned out that the Crimson Flame Rat had all perished in the surging lava.
Instead, when the Crimson Flame Rat sensed the surging lava flowing down from above the cave, they sealed off their burrows and hid inside. If they didn't have some skill, their species wouldn't dare to make this place their habitat.
"Boom! Boom!!!"
The sounds of death continued to rise and drew closer, but they were still a long way from the entrance they had come in through. If they couldn't escape before the lava began to pour down, they might perish here.
"Mo Fan, and everyone else, stop! Follow me and the Swift Star Wolf!" Lingling suddenly called out.
"You have a solution?" Mo Fan asked in surprise.
"I'm not sure if this method will work. On my way here, I took a look at the surroundings."
"There's a large hole extending to the side ahead, and the lava is flowing downwards. If we hide in that side hole and seal the entrance with earth magic, we can temporarily avoid being swept into the lava flow," Lingling said.
"Alright, let's clear the way as you say," Jiang Han said.
Lingling nodded and began to lead the way. Xue Ling translated for the Swift Star Wolf, whose movements were not slow at all. The group followed behind and ran as fast as they could. As soon as they left the spot, a large amount of lava spread down from above.
The cave rocks eventually gave way under the weight. As the magma surged and crashed, the rocks above everyone's heads shattered, spraying large amounts of magma down on them. The intense heat was enough to burn through their bodies.
"Guangyou·Huabi!!"
"Ice Lock - Vast Wilderness!!"
As the lava poured down, Zhao Manyan quickly drew a wall of holy light interwoven with rays of light. Below the wall were numerous ice crystal chains released by Jiang Han. It was because of the barrier of the holy light wall and the ice crystal chains that everyone was able to pass through this area in time before the lava fell.
But the terrifying torrent of lava continued to gush down, and the ever-increasing volume of lava quickly crushed the Holy Light Wall.
"Are we there yet?!" Mo Fan, following behind the Swift Star Wolf, asked anxiously.
Lingling didn't answer him and continued directing the Swift Star Wolf forward. After walking a short distance in the cave, Lingling pointed to the left and shouted, "It's just ahead on the left, hurry!!"
As soon as Lingling finished speaking, a large amount of bright red lava surged out from the bend in the mountain road ahead. It was like a wild beast that was running wild. If everyone were hit by this wild beast, they would be completely destroyed.
"Mo Fan, take them inside and hide first," Jiang Han said calmly.
"You're not going to block the lava, are you?" Mo Fan asked in shock.
"Someone has to come and block this entrance, otherwise you won't have enough time to seal it off," Jiang Han said firmly.
"I'll stay. Remember to take good care of Xin Xia," Mo Fan said in a deep voice.
As he spoke, a rose-red flame ignited on Mo Fan's body. Just as Mo Fan, enveloped in the rose-red flames, was about to rush into the surging torrent of lava, he was thrown away by Jiang Han. Then he heard Jiang Han's indifferent voice.
"Get out of here, stay and protect Xinxia and the others."
"You son of a bitch!" Mo Fan couldn't help but curse.
"Brother Jiang Han, what are you going to do?" Xin Xia asked anxiously.
Jiang Han was engulfed in blue-purple dragon flames, looking like a fiery demon. He turned to Xin Xia with a smile and said, "I'll buy you some time. I'll go back to you later."
"Be good, let's leave with Mo Fan first."
"But..." Xinxia wanted to say something, but Mo Fan pulled her away.
As he left with Xinxia, Mo Fan turned around and said, "Remember to come back alive."
