Chapter 37

In the jump along the way, Lu Xu met more than a dozen skeletons, including men and women, with different dead conditions. This aroused Qiao Xiaoxuan's curiosity and walked in desperately. I don't know why, Qiao Xiaoxuan has no reaction to the extremely hot temperature here, unless his hair is slightly curly and his clothes have a little melted. But Zino did not have this ability. Fortunately, there was a ice bead refined by thousands of years of ice in her hair. The cold air from the ice beads penetrated through her scalp and kept protecting her internal organs, otherwise she would have been poisoned with these skeletons.

Moving forward, there is no fixed stone. It is the kind of stone that moves slowly in the magma. Although the color of the stone is black, it is a fiery red.

Qiao Xiaoxuan whispered, "That should be igneous rock. Only this kind of stone can float in the magma without being melted."

Zino said stunnedly, "How do you know so clearly?"

Qiao Xiaoxuan was stunned, squeezed out a smile, and replied, "It's from the book." After saying that, Zino took a step back and jumped forward. His vigorous body fell on the moving fire rock, and the rock sank slightly and floated again.

Zino jumped over with Qiao Xiaoxuan. The magma floated from the fire rock, and the magma density was high. The two people standing up did not sink too much.

Qiao Xiaoxuan took a deep breath and rushed to the next piece. The two cooperated with each other and stepped on the new fire rock one after another. The heat around them was indescribable, and their breath was full of hot waves.

Further, the area of the fire rock that can be settled has been small to the size of a bathtub, and as the area shrinks, the volume is getting smaller and smaller. When two people stand up, the lava is about to disappear. Now the two dare not dare to jump from a long distance. They can only wait until the next piece of fire rock slowly floats over and then step on it.

At the end of the detour, there was a slightly larger stone. When Qiao Xiaoxuan and Zino stepped on the stone, neither of them could keep their calm and made a surprised sound.

In the faraway lava, an extremely huge island appeared, and even some red plants can be faintly seen on the island. The two looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.

It didn't take long for the two to step on the island with fire rock. What's really strange is that the temperature on the island is not high.

The island is full of red plants, which are full of purple flowers and black fruits. The most surprising thing is that there are countless bones scattered around the island, and you can see that these are human bones. Qiao Xiaoxuan silently counted the bones of about 400 or 500 people here.

Zino clutched the corner of Qiao Xiaoxuan's clothes tightly and whispered, "How can there be so many dead bones here?"

Qiao Xiaoxuan shook his head slowly and said in a low voice, "I don't know." His eyes flashed with inexplicable excitement.

Under Qiao Xiaoxuan's repeated persistence, the two carefully continued to go deep into the island. The deeper they went to the island, the lower the heat around them became, and the humidity in the air became heavier and heavier, which may become closer to a water source, and the air became cleaner.

After walking for a while, there was a change in front of my eyes. The two actually saw a vast strange world.

A big lake appeared in front of Qiao Xiaoxuan and Zino. The shore of the lake is full of strange flowers and grasses, which are brilliant and competing for beauty.

Qiao Xiaoxuan and Zino looked at each other and saw the incomparable shock in each other's eyes. What kind of place is this? The temperature of the nearby fire magma is enough to melt water. The existence of a huge island in the magma has surprised them. Now there is a huge lake on the island.

The fusion of water and fire? This is absolutely impossible. Water will never appear in the world of fire, and there will be no fire in the world of water.

But on this small island, all cognition has been overthrown. Is there a big lake in the magma deep underground? Water and fire are the same, and yin and yang are at peace. There is such a strange world between heaven and earth.

Zino took a deep breath and asked in a slightly trembling voice, "Xiao Xuan, where is this? Why is there such a big lake in the magma?

Qiao Xiaoxuan looked at the big lake deeply and replied in a low voice, "I don't know, but it seems that a voice has been urging me to come here."

Zino looked around warily and asked softly, "Where did that sound come from?"

Qiao Xiaoxuan shook his head and said, "I don't know. It should be around here."

"Nearby?" Zino searched carefully again with a wary expression.

Qiao Xiaoxuan smiled and said, "Don't be afraid. Don't you often say a sentence on TV: settle down when you come?" With that, he walked straight to the lake, squatted down and reached out to stir in the water and whispered, "Well, the temperature is neither cold nor hot. It's just right. It's really comfortable."

Zino looked at him angrily, and finally walked to his side, squatted down and put his hand into the water like him, and found that the temperature was really just right for a shower. Thinking of being roasted into a roast suckling pig by the magma heat just now, although it did not turn into a roast suckling pig in the end, the whole body was still steamed with a lot of sweat, and there was still a little sweat smell on my body at this moment. Zinuo, who loves cleanliness, can't help but have the idea of jumping into the water to take a good shower.

Looking at Qiao Xiaoxuan, he took off his shoes and socks after washing his face with a handful of water, soaked his feet in the lake, and the previous hot feeling swept away.

Zinuo looked at Qiao Xiaoxuan with a comfortable look on his face, and then looked down at himself, blushing like an apple for a moment.

"Comfortable!" Qiao Xiaoxuan exaggeratedly stretched his arms and turned to see Zino blushing. He couldn't help asking, "What's wrong? Are you not feeling well?"

Zino shook her head desperately.

Qiao Xiaoxuanqi said, "Why is your face so red when you have nothing to do?"

Zino lowered her head and said, "It's none of your business."

Qiao Xiaoxuan was stunned, and then patted his forehead and shouted, "So you want to take a shower."

Zino was in great embarrassment. She angrily picked up a stone at her feet and threw it into the river in front of Qiao Xiaoxuan. She splashed a splash and blushed with her cheeks.

Qiao Xiaoxuan laughed and said, "It's enough. You can wash it. I'll go nearby to see if there are any clues." After wearing shoes and socks, he got up and walked to the red forest not far away.

Seeing Qiao Xiaoxuan's figure disappearing in the woods, Zino got up to make sure that he had left before returning to the river. She took off her shoes and socks and stepped on the lake barefoot. The gentle lake soaked her long skirt. She picked up some dew in her hands and moistened her lips, and then slowly took off her clothes and slowly walked into the river like a joy. Fast fish usually swim around in the water.

After a while, Qiao Xiaoxuan turned out of the woods and returned to the river, but did not see Zino's figure. There was only a pile of clothes neatly on the bank of the river.

Qiao Xiaoxuan was stunned and looked at the pile of clothes.

Suddenly, a splash appeared in the river, and a beautiful picture appeared in front of Qiao Xiaoxuan. Zino with a surprised expression rushed out of the water lake, with long black hair hanging over her shoulders, and jade-like cheeks with drops of water. Wushuang's flexible eyes, long eyelashes, straight nose and rosy mouth make her look beautiful like an elf and pure like an angel.

Looking down again, Qiao Xiaoxuan almost had a nosebleed. Zino's proud and beautiful peaks and the slender thighs looming under the surface of the water were seductively shiny, attracting the most primitive desire.

Zinuo rushed out of the lake and hurried to the shore. After a few steps, she saw Qiao Xiaoxuan standing on the shore at the same time, and her body suddenly stopped, and her big smart eyes immediately showed a frightened look. A scream came from her mouth: "Ah...!!"

Qiao Xiaoxuan was shocked and didn't expect such an old-fashioned plot to happen to him again. In a hurry, he shouted, "Help! Help!" He jumped into the woods.

After a while, Qiao Xiaoxuan's head poked out from behind a big tree. Seeing that Zino has already dressed, he is sitting by the lake in a daze with a red face and a bulging cheek.

Qiao Xiaoxuan walked gently to Zino. Zino heard the sound and turned his head to look at Qiao Xiaoxuan. With four eyes intersect, Zino's face turned red again and quickly turned his head to look into the river.

Qiao Xiaoxuan walked to Zino and squatted down and said awkwardly, "I... didn't mean to."

"Shut up."

Qiao Xiaoxuan quickly covered his mouth, and the two were silent for a while before he said cautiously, "Actually, I last time..."

"Qiao Xiaoxuan!" Zino said angrily, "I haven't hit you for a long time. Your skin is itchy again, isn't it?"

"Wait a minute!" Seeing that Zino was preparing to "start" the dusty trick that had been sealed for a long time, Qiao Xiaoxuan hurriedly shouted, "Did you see anything at the bottom of the lake?"

Although he knew that Qiao Xiaoxuan was changing the topic, Zino was still attracted by success. He snorted heavily at him, and then said with surprise, "There seems to be a palace under the lake."

"Palace?" Qiao Xiaoxuan opened his eyes wide and shouted in disbelief.

Zino said uncertainly, "It should be a palace."

"It's so interesting. I'll go and have a look." Qiao Xiaoxuan jumped up and hurried to the lake.

Zino took his hand and said, "You... I'll go with you."

Qiao Xiaoxuan nodded and smiled, and fell into the water first.

The lake seems not to be deep, but it is unfathomable. Instead, it is not Qiao Xiaoxuan, a zombie who can no longer breathe, and Zino, a real master, but an ordinary person. Presumably, less than a quarter of swimming has already returned. The lake is full of all kinds of life, such as glowing strange fish. In the lake that hides the red light, thousands of flocks, or snake-like monsters, with countless large balls of tentacles, passing giant monsters passing by, and all kinds of strange.

After diving much, he saw a huge building at the bottom of the lake, which was actually another palace with a slight red light. At this time, Zino also swam to him, pointing to the palace and nodding to him. Inexplicably, Qiao Xiaoxuan swam to the huge building isolated at the bottom of the huge lake.

When they swam nearby, the two found that the palace was bigger than what they saw in the distance, and the two huge bronze doors alone were amazingly large. In fact, I don't know what material these two doors are made of, but they look like copper. The two floated in front of the gate, as weak as two three-year-old children standing in front of the gates of two ancient towers, which made them feel extremely shocked. The whole palace is very high, and the two bronze doors are located at the bottom of the palace, and the huge bronze doors are so small compared to the height of the whole palace.

At this time, Zi Nora pulled the corner of Racho Xiaoxuan's clothes and pointed to a place next to the giant gate. Qiao Xiaoxuan looked in the direction she pointed and saw a small hole next to the giant gate. In fact, this hole is not small, but it is too small for these two huge copper doors.

The small hole is just large for one person to pass through, and it is dark inside. Qiao Xiaoxuan nodded and took the lead in swimming to the small hole.

He put his head into the hole and looked around to make sure that there was no danger inside. He swam in. Through the copper door is an extremely wide space, with nothing inside, only a row of stones. The stone team went straight up into the darkness. Qiao Xiaoxuan turned his head and looked at Zino who came in later. Zino shook his head to indicate that he could still support it. Qiao Xiaoxuan took Zino's hand and went up.

The long-class level has risen, and it is estimated that there are thousands of levels. The two couldn't swim many times, and they found that there was no water on the stone steps on the upper level. More than 300 steps at the bottom of the stone steps were immersed in the lake, and the upper part came out of the water. There is a huge palace at the bottom of the unfathomable lake, which has not been completely submerged by the lake. Qiao Xiaoxuan and Zino looked at each other again, showing incredible eyes.

Qiao Xiaoxuan pulled Zino and put his head out of the water. Zino's face was a little pale, which may be caused by not inhaling fresh air for a long time. As soon as she came out of the water, she immediately gasped. Qiao Xiaoxuan gently patted her on the back and asked sadly, "Are you all right?"

Zino shook his head, took a deep breath of air, smiled and said, "I'm fine." He turned his eyes to the long stone steps in front of him and asked, "Where does such a long ladder lead to?"

Qiao Xiaoxuan smiled and said, "How can I know? If you want to know, just go up and have a look."

Zino nodded his head gently and said, "Let's go up."

It was still Qiao Xiaoxuan who was the first to walk in front, and the two walked out of the water and climbed up the stone steps. Looking at the long and endless stone steps, I suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness.

For good, neither of them are ordinary people, and the thousand-layer stone steps are fleeting at their feet. After walking the stone steps, a huge palace suddenly appeared. The two recognized that the palace was the same as the giant palace outside and should be its miniature. They stood in front of the entrance of the huge hall, and the door opened. The huge hall was so big that they looked in like peeping at the leopard in the tube, boundless. There is a stone plaque engraved at the entrance, engraved with three large characters that I don't know what the word is, each of which is about one meter in size.

Qiao Xiaoxuan locked his eyebrows and took the lead in carefully stepping into the hall. Even a bold person like him did not feel the competition. Suddenly, his scalp was numb and he almost stopped breathing. He is now in the huge hall and is completely shocked by the extremely wide and high space of the huge hall. Just like the little man of a small country, after a moment's mistake, he came to the hall built by the giant. The front end of the huge hall and the buildings on the left and right sides were at least 40 meters away from him, and he was as small as an ant. On the huge wall of the main entrance, a line of large characters were carved from top to bottom, rowing down from the top of the hall, at least 30 meters apart from the beginning and end, each word is about one meter in size, and Qiao Xiaoxuan and Zino can't understand the words on it. Qiao Xiaoxuan's heart was shocked and unconsciously had the impulse to kneel down to worship. This was the first time he was so shocked and moved.

Zinuo was not much better than Qiao Xiaoxuan. He stood there stunned and in a daze.

The huge hall is shrouded in soft blue light, reflecting the red light penetrated through the exit. Qiao Xiaoxuan looked at the top of the hall. In the center of the top of the hall about 40 feet from the ground, there was a circular object with a diameter of two feet, emitting blue and yellow light, like an indoor sun, bathing the whole hall under thousands of green lights.

With this light source as the center, there is a large circle with a diameter of 20 meters at the top of the hall, which is the same as the star map at the entrance of the nine palace gate, but several times larger. The huge hall is covered under the infinite stars. There is no column or nothing in the huge hall. There are many reliefs engraved on the ground of the hall, many of which are different shapes, many of which are them. Water creatures seen at the bottom of the lake, and some creatures that don't know what they are.

The two were surprised when Zino suddenly pointed to one of the reliefs and shouted, "Xiaoxuan, look."

Qiao Xiaoxuan nodded slowly and said, "I saw it."

Zino's relief refers to a man, which is the man in the nine carvings they saw at the gate of the nine palaces. The man here wears strange armor, looks up to the sky and opens his mouth wide, as if smiling or angry. Unlike the sculpture outside, he actually has two long fangs in his mouth at this time.

Zino asked in surprise, "Zombie?"

"It should be." Qiao Xiaoxuan slowly stood on the relief, bent down and gently stroked the two fangs in the man's mouth. At the moment his hand touched the ground, his whole body suddenly trembled. At the same time, an inexplicable sadness surged in his heart. This is unspeakable sadness, as if it has been planted in the deepest part of his heart for tens of millions of years, the kind of sadness from the deepest part of the bone marrow.

Qiao Xiaoxuan still touches the ground with one hand, and the other hand grasps the heart, which is the only organ still moving in his body. It's just that the heart that usually beats for a long time suddenly beats crazily at this moment.

"bu...bu...bu...bu..." Between his fingers, he felt that his heart was beating faster and faster, and his face showed a surprised look.

The speed of the heart is gradually accelerating, and finally beating more than a dozen times per second. Qiao Xiaoxuan's slightly pale face gradually turned pink and then turned red.

Zino ran up in surprise. At this time, Qiao Xiaoxuan, whose facial muscles were tense, suddenly raised his head and a pair of blood-red eyes burst out two blood-red rays and quickly integrated into the surrounding red light. Two sharp fangs were exposed and a beast-like roar came out.

"Boom!" An earth-shaking wave broke out from Qiao Xiaoxuan.

Countless airflows emanated from Qiao Xiaoxuan. When they encountered four huge walls, they rolled back, but they were entangled in the subsequent airflows, immediately forming countless strong currents raging, and the whole hall suddenly became windy.

The powerful airflow threw Zino far away and finally got up from the ground, but it was blown away and couldn't even stand still. There was a strong wind roar and Qiao Xiaoxuan's slightly hoarse long roar in the center of the storm.
