Chapter 140: Mysterious Fruit! Seeking First Subscription
It's like walking on a tightrope, put the tightrope on the ground, anyone has the courage to walk on it, but if you hang the tightrope in the air at an altitude of 10,000 meters and ask you to walk, do you dare?
One careless move and it's a loss of life, let alone in such a harsh environment. Whether the Drunken Immortal Steps can be executed as smoothly as an arm movement is still unknown. For something that is completely unknown what it is, to let Chen Daxing make fun of his own life, how could that be?
Seeing Chen Daxing unwilling to move, the divine dog began to bark at Chen Daxing again, urging him on with all its might.
"Abao, you're going to get me in trouble! You go yourself, I'll wait for you outside!" Chen Dasheng refused to comply and turned around to leave.
The divine mastiff stood in front of Chen Da Sheng's horse, blocking his way. It bit onto Chen Da Sheng's clothes and pulled him back, but Chen Da Sheng steadied his horse and didn't budge. The divine mastiff was at a loss for what to do with Chen Da Sheng and could only run around in circles, anxious and frustrated.
Chen Daxing didn't think about it, the protruding area in the lava lake was probably 40 or 50 meters away from the shore. If Shen Gou could get across by himself, why would he let him come and take risks?
After pulling Chen Da Sheng for a while, he couldn't pull Chen Da Sheng at all. The divine dog was anxious and let out a low growl continuously. Just as Chen Da Sheng saw the divine dog relax its mouth and wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to leave the stone cave, he suddenly saw the divine dog turn around and walk towards the entrance of the cave.
"Hey, A Biao, where are you going?" Seeing the divine dog about to leave, Chen Daxing was somewhat surprised. This guy had just been trying to drag himself into the lava, but now he's suddenly turning around and running away. Can't take the heat?
"Roar!"
Just as Chen Daxing was still in a daze, the divine dog that had walked to the entrance of the cave suddenly turned around, let out a loud roar, and pounced directly at Chen Daxing.
Chen Daxing was startled, completely unprepared for the sudden attack by the Divine Mastiff. With the lava lake right behind him, he had nowhere to retreat and was directly knocked into by the Divine Mastiff, sending his entire body flying backward with great force.
"Are you trying to kill me?!"
The next moment, Chen Dashi saw the divine dog standing steadily by the lake. His own body had already been knocked into mid-air, and below him was a rolling sea of magma.
Those surging magma waves were even sticking to his buttocks, and at this time, he was in mid-air, with no way to borrow power, and even the best light work could not be performed. His body was falling rapidly in a parabolic line, and it seemed that he would fall into the magma at any moment.
"My life is at an end!"
Looking at the rolling red magma, Chen Dasheng's heart was chilled to the bone. He really shouldn't have believed that beast and run all the way here to die. Just when he had just obtained the inheritance of the Giant Spirit Tribe and his life was starting to look up.
I'm going to die like this, killed by a beast. I'll be reduced to ashes soon, not even leaving behind half a bone fragment.
Liu Yunshi, Liu Xiaomin, Han Ruoxue, and Nan Gong Zixuan. One by one, their beautiful faces flashed through Chen Daxiong's mind, a brief second that seemed like an eternity!
Heaven, if I can survive, I will cherish every opportunity and make these girls my wives. I won't be indecisive like before!
Whoosh!
Just as Chen Dasheng was about to fall into the magma, the divine mastiff on the shore let out a low growl, and with one kick of its front paws on the shore, it kicked out a football-sized boulder that shot straight towards Chen Dasheng.
This stone is undoubtedly Chen Daxing's last straw, did Heaven hear his prayers?
For a moment, Chen Daxing saw the hope of survival, and with a flick of his body, he stabilized his center of gravity. His toes lightly touched the stone, giving him a place to borrow strength from, and in an instant, he flew up into the air. The Drunken Immortal's Stance was pushed to its limits as he flew towards the platform not far away. At the same time, the boulder also fell directly into the magma below, disappearing without a trace in an instant.
——
His feet landed firmly on the protruding platform, Chen Dabing felt his heart almost jumping out, it was really close just now, if that stone had come a little later, he would have been swallowed by the magma.
Sweating profusely, almost unable to breathe, Chen Daxing looked up and saw the Tibetan Mastiff standing on the shore barking at him.
"This guy, didn't even give a warning beforehand, almost got himself killed!" Looking at the God Dog, Chen Dabai couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of saliva, which instantly evaporated into the scorching air.
"Hiss!"
A sharp pain came from the sole of his foot, Chen Dasheng lifted his foot to take a look, and found that the sole of his casual shoes had been burnt out with a big hole, several toes exposed outside, and the skin was also burnt red.
"I'm dizzy!"
Before Chen Dabai had time to react, a few drops of magma splashed onto his body, and his clothes also started burning. It can be imagined what kind of high temperature it was here.
Chen Dasheng was startled and quickly took off all his clothes, otherwise he would have been roasted in a while.
Bare-bodied, as if placed in a steamer, Chen Daxing didn't want to stay here for another moment. On one hand, he was being scorched by the scorching ground and jumping with pain; on the other hand, he looked around and sized up this platform, trying to find what the divine dog wanted him to take as soon as possible so that he could leave quickly.
——
The platform is not large, at most only a dozen or so square meters, extremely irregular and uneven, formed by a whole piece of stone. Under high temperature, the surface of the stone is faintly red, and stepping on it feels like walking on an iron plate.
In the center of the platform, there were several stalactite-like protrusions, about two meters high, with a few vines wrapped around them. Chen Dabing walked closer and saw that the vines were faintly glowing red, with many leaves growing on them, and they turned out to be grapevines.
Chen Dasheng was a bit tongue-tied, and it was hard to imagine that in such a harsh place, grapevines would actually grow. The vitality of these few grapevines was simply too stubborn.
There is no doubt that these grapevines are abnormal, following the vines, there are still a few grapes scattered on them.
Thumb-sized, bright red and juicy, like a string of rubies or a cluster of burning flames, emitting dazzling rays, obviously ripe.
"Could this be what Abao asked me to pick up?" Chen Daxing's eyes were fixed on the clusters of crimson grapes as he licked his dry lips.
Time didn't give him any chance to think, he quickly followed the grapevine and found some, Chen Dasheng really couldn't stand that terrifying high temperature, after searching up and down, he picked a dozen or so and turned around to leave.
"Huh?"
Just as he turned around, some twinkling lights under the grapevine caught Chen Dasheng's attention. Driven by curiosity, he parted the vines and took a look. Under the shelter of the grape leaves, there were actually many red glowing stones lying there.
"What is this? The Crystal of Departed Flame?"
Those were fist-sized rhombic red crystals, looking just like rubies, and there were probably several dozen of them. They emitted a thick, scorching energy, identical to the Li Huo crystal that Nan Gong Mufeng and others had been searching for, but this energy was much thicker.
Chen Dasheng's hands moved extremely fast, and he didn't care whether those stones were Fire Crystals or not. He first took them away from this place and then considered what to do next. He directly put that pile of stones into the Qiankun Ring, turned around, took two steps forward, tapped his toes on the ground, and flew up into the air, using the Drunken Immortal's Moon-Gazing Step to fly towards the shore where the Divine Hound was located.
——
He plopped down on the back of the divine mastiff, which caught Chen Daxing steadily and turned around to run, dashing out of that terrifying stone cave in just a few strides.
"Hoo-hoo!"
In a corner of the cave, Chen Daxing sat on the ground with his buttocks exposed, panting heavily. Although it was still scorching hot here, compared to the hell he had just been through, this place was undoubtedly heaven.
The Tibetan Mastiff crouched beside Chen Daxing, also panting with its tongue out and drooling, wet saliva dripping all over the floor.
It wasn't until a while later that Chen Dashi finally calmed down, turned his face to look at the Tibetan Mastiff, wanting to scold it, but not knowing how to open his mouth.
Chen Dasheng spread his big hands, and in the palm of his hand, a dozen or so grapes were quietly placed. The moment the dog saw the grapes, it came to life, its two eyes staring at Chen Dasheng's palm, almost shining with light, its tail wagging back and forth, extremely happy.
"Is this really the thing? You want to eat it?" Looking at Shen Gou's excited expression, Chen Da Sheng couldn't help but roll his eyes. He had gone through so much trouble and risked his life to retrieve something from the magma, and it turned out to be just a few grapes? Did his own life mean nothing more than these few grapes in this guy's eyes?
