Chapter 139: Underground Magma Lake!
"What? What's wrong?" The abnormal behavior of Shen Gou made Chen Dajun feel somewhat stunned.
"Roar!" The divine dog couldn't speak, it could only express its intentions through actions. Seeing that Chen Dabing didn't understand, it resorted to the same trick again and tugged at Chen Dabing's clothes.
"You want me to go in with you?" Even a fool should have realized something was off, and Chen Dabing wasn't foolish. He quickly caught on to the divine dog's intentions, his eyes gleaming with insight as he asked, "Is there something good inside that you want me to get?"
"Roar!"
A low growl, and the divine dog no longer paid attention to Chen Dabai, turning around and drilling into the dark hole by itself.
Chen Dasheng saw the situation and immediately took out a flashlight, following behind Shen Ao into the cave. Shen Ao occasionally turned his head back to Chen Dasheng and let out a roar, as if afraid that Chen Dasheng wouldn't be able to keep up.
What treasure is this guy hiding? Is it not just a piece of meat for himself? Following the divine dog, Chen Dabing ventured deeper into the cave, his heart filled with both anticipation and doubt.
One person and one beast quickly arrived at the place where Nan Gong Cheng Feng and others had just excavated the Fire Crystal, but Shen Gou didn't stop for a moment and directly turned into a fork in the road.
Chen Dasheng hesitated, unsure whether to continue walking in. What if this guy's nature was not right and he lured himself into a trap? He wouldn't be able to find a place to reason with him. Although the divine dog had already shown submission to him, this change was too sudden, so sudden that Chen Dasheng didn't dare to easily believe it.
"Roar!"
It seemed that Chen Dabing was left behind, and the Tibetan Mastiff turned back, letting out a low growl again at Chen Dabing who stood stupidly in his original position.
This beast is just a domestic animal, how can it have so many bad ideas! Chen Dabing hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and followed him in. Anyway, he had to go in and take a look, maybe there was something good waiting for him inside.
Twisting and turning, the divine dog led Chen Dabing through the narrow passageway, he didn't know where they were going, there were so many forks in the road, even with his good memory, he had a feeling of being about to get lost.
"Abao, where are you taking me?" Five or six minutes later, Chen Daxing saw that the Tibetan Mastiff was still walking calmly inside and finally couldn't help but ask.
The air here is not circulating, and the deeper you go, the more sweltering it becomes. Chen Dasheng's whole body has been drenched in sweat, if he takes off his clothes now, he can wring out a lot of sweat. The stones on the stone wall beside him are so hot that they scald his hands. If he goes further inside for a while, Chen Dasheng suspects that he will be roasted alive.
"Roar!"
The Tibetan Mastiff seemed to be unaware of the high temperature around it, turned its head and let out a low growl at Chen Dabai, as if urging him on. The pace under his feet was much faster than before.
Chen Dasheng wiped the sweat, took a few deep breaths of the scorching air, and hurried to catch up. If he got lost, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to find his way out again.
"Got it!"
After walking for about half a minute, Chen Daxing finally saw a burst of light coming from the front fork in the distance. Suddenly, his heart was filled with joy. With the light, didn't that mean there was an exit?
Suddenly he came to life and ran after the divine dog towards the bright place.
"My god, you're not taking me to the center of the earth, are you?" As they walked to the fork in the road, Chen Dabing's expression suddenly froze, and he couldn't speak for a long time.
The fork is connected to a stone room of two or three hundred square meters, which is not an exit. The bright light just seen is actually the firelight emitted from a huge lava lake in the center of the stone room.
That lava lake has hundreds of square meters, where the lava is rolling and bubbling, emitting hot air, and splashing up several meters high from time to time. Chen Daxing, although far away, can still feel the scorching heat.
The bright flames illuminated the entire room in a reddish glow. Chen Dabing stood at the door for just a moment, and his old face felt scorched by the heat.
"Abao, why did you bring me here?" Although he knew that Shen Hou couldn't respond to him, Chen Dashi still couldn't help but turn his head and ask the question to Shen Hou who was standing beside him, his voice trembling slightly.
The Tibetan Mastiff did not respond to Chen Daxing's questioning at all, and directly ignored Chen Daxing, sticking out its long tongue and walking steadily into the stone cave.
"Hey, don't go in, it's dangerous inside!" Seeing the divine dog run into the lava cave, Chen Dabai hastily shouted. The lava was so terrifying that any mortal flesh would be incinerated upon contact. Wasn't going in looking for death?
The response to Chen Dasheng was a low growl that he had heard countless times before. Facing the rolling and turbulent magma, the eyes of the divine dog did not show any fear. Instead, it turned around and stood more than 20 meters away from Chen Dasheng, letting out a low growl while staring tightly at him.
Looking at that familiar gaze, Chen Dabai hid at the entrance of the cave, his face involuntarily twitching, and he pointed at his own nose in some disbelief, probing, "You wouldn't want me to go in too, would you?"
The divine dog let out a low growl, and Chen Dabing's heart felt a chill. Based on the tacit understanding they had developed along the way, the divine dog was indeed letting him in.
"Abao, stop joking around. It's so hot in there, I'm not as thick-skinned as you are. I'll wait for you here, if there's anything, you take it out yourself. Let's hurry up and leave this place!" Chen Dasheng said with a wry smile to the God of Dogs.
Even standing at the entrance, Chen Dashi felt unbearable, let alone going in. The temperature of the magma could melt rocks, and if he wasn't careful and got splashed on his body, it would be disastrous - at best, he'd be disfigured, and at worst, he'd lose his life.
"Roar!"
Seeing Chen Dasheng not moving, the mastiff seemed to be furious and directly barked at Chen Dasheng, startling him.
The dog obviously wanted to go in and get something, but unfortunately this beast wouldn't listen, it had to be itself that went in. It seemed that if it didn't go in, there was no leaving today. This place was unbearably hot, staying one more minute was a risk, so it might as well go in early. Whatever it was, grab it and leave.
"Alright, stop barking! I'm coming in!" With that, Chen Dashi let out a loud shout at the continuously barking Tibetan Mastiff, and then took a bold step forward, venturing into the stone cave.
"Hurry up, what is it, just say it!"
After entering the cave, Chen Dashi felt like his whole body was smoking hot as he came into close contact with the rolling magma. His hair felt like it was about to catch fire, and his throat was parched to the point where speaking was difficult. He hastily urged the divine mastiff on, not wanting to stay in this place for a moment longer.
"Roar, roar, roar......"
The Tibetan Mastiff bit Chen Daxing's collar and moved closer to the lava lake, stopping in its tracks and barking incessantly at the rolling lava lake.
"What the hell do you want to do? You don't expect me to jump into the lava, do you?"
A few drops of magma splashed out from the lake, Chen Daxing dodged and weaved but was hit by one drop right on his arm. With a hiss, his skin burst open and he let out a pained cry. Now he didn't have the mood to understand the divine dog's meaning anymore, all he could do was dodge those flying magma droplets.
The divine mastiff ignored Chen Dabai and kept roaring towards the lava lake, Chen Dabai tried to leave several times but was blocked by the divine mastiff.
The turbulent waves surged, the scorching air flow made Chen Daxiong feel that his blood was boiling, and he seemed to be a ball of oil, which would ignite immediately with just a spark.
Looking up towards the lake of magma, vaguely visible in the distance, there seems to be a protruding block in the center. The heat waves cause the air to distort, and there is also smoke covering the surface of the lake, making it impossible to see clearly.
He stared for a while, and couldn't help but choke, and was also baked by the heat wave to tears. Chen Dabing quickly closed his eyes, pointed to the protruding piece in the center of the lake, and turned to shout at the Tibetan Mastiff, "Abao, you can't be asking me to go over there, can you?"
"Ao wu!" The divine dog howled with excitement.
Damn it! Chen Dasheng's face turned green in an instant, letting himself cross the lava lake and head to that raised area in the middle, how dangerous it was, Chen Dasheng could think of it even with his nose hair.
Although that place is less than fifty meters away from the current station, Chen Daxing's Drunken Immortal Steps should be able to fly over, but it's in a lava lake!
