Half an hour later.

Gu Beichen reached the deepest part of the valley, which was also the deepest part of the lake before.

The lake was lush and full a few hours ago, but now its cracked bottom is exposed, like the withered skin of the earth after being exposed to the sun.

Gu Beichen walked forward neither hurriedly nor slowly, but his eyes quickly swept across the crisscrossing cracks.

Something was gleaming in a gap.

He suddenly stopped, took a few quick steps, bent down, and picked up a curved and sharp dragon tooth from the gap. There were obvious marks of fire burning on it.

Gu Beichen looked around but did not find any dragon egg fragments.

Suddenly, there was a shaking under my feet.

A muffled thunder-like sound came from deep underground and soon reached the surface.

The entire ground suddenly bulged up as if it were the back of a giant beast, without any warning!

Gu Beichen was horrified. He tightly grasped the dragon tooth in his hand, turned around, and walked back as fast as he could.

The muffled thunder underfoot grew louder and louder.

The ground rose higher and higher, and soon the valley bottom became the top of a mountain.

Gu Beichen also changed from his initial posture of struggling to move upwards to a rapid downward dive.

Be sure to climb to the higher ground on the opposite side and stay away from this area before a bigger accident happens.

"Boom!"

The sound of muffled thunder gradually became clearer.

The rock layers tore apart, the lava rolled, and boiling magma gushed out of the crater.

Gu Beichen felt a strong burning sensation and couldn't help but turn his head slightly. He saw that the original center of the lake had become a crater, and boiling magma was spewing out from the crater.

It's the worst case scenario!

He couldn't help but take a breath, and didn't dare to delay any longer, and increased his speed again.

The scorching breath behind him was getting closer and closer, and the magma was very close. Seeing that it was about to swallow him up, he tried his best and jumped onto a huge rock.

The man had just stood firmly on the boulder and had no time to breathe a sigh of relief when the boulder quickly fell down along with the lava.

Fortunately, the boulder was big enough and did not roll down, but drifted straight down with the magma, otherwise he would have turned into ashes long ago.

Gu Beichen was still frightened, but his frown deepened.

This is not a solution.

The surrounding area was filled with roiling red flames of magma. He seemed to be shrouded in blood, with a strong smell of sulfur in the air. His nose was stung and it was almost impossible to breathe.

The situation will only get worse!

The huge rock under his feet will soon be annihilated in the magma. Before that, he must

Fall to the opposite high ground.

Gu Beichen tried to summon the little candle dragon in his sea of ​​consciousness, but received no response after many attempts.

His heart finally hit freezing point.

At such a critical moment, unless Xiao Zhulong can wake up and take him to a safe area.

Apart from this, he could not think of any other way to escape.

If I had known that stupid dragon was so unreliable, I shouldn't have believed its lies!

But it's too late to say anything now.

Gu Beichen looked at the still endless lava, pursed his lips tightly, and the only thing left in his mind was that beautiful figure.

He did not regret this trip to Jiangzhou. The only thing he regretted was that he was unable to see her when he left Shangjing City.

He didn't say goodbye to her before leaving, partly because it happened suddenly, but more importantly, he was worried that she would leave him behind.

Nowadays, meeting in person has become a luxury.

Gu Beichen smiled bitterly and shook his head.

If there is an afterlife, I hope I will be born a commoner so that I can live an ordinary life with her.

"Brother, hurry up, he's there!"

A familiar voice came from high in the sky.

"Wanwan?"

Gu Beichen thought he was hallucinating, but he couldn't help but look up.

High in the sky, a flying sword carried two white figures.

Even though they were far apart, Gu Beichen recognized at a glance that one of them was the person he had been thinking about day and night.

"Wanwan!"

He was just hallucinating, but now it has become a hallucination!

How could Wanwan possibly be here when she was far away in Shangjing City? And how could she possibly be flying in the air?

People often say "What you think about during the day, you dream about at night", but he had such a ridiculous illusion while he was still awake during the day.

It seemed that God had mercy on him and allowed him to see her for the last time through an illusion before he died.

It’s time to be content!

"Why are you in a daze at this time? If you don't want to die, hurry up and hold on to Qian Chanxiao!" Ye Tianlan's voice sounded with some anger.

Is this kid scared silly? At this time, he still has time to be in a daze?

He even doubted whether it was worth it for him to try his best to save others.

Ye Tianlan secretly made up his mind that before officially setting off to return to Jingsi Island, it was necessary to have a good talk with the imperial sister.

However, when Gu Beichen heard Ye Tianlan's voice, he immediately realized that it was not an illusion!

That was indeed Wanwan!

Wanwan came to save him!

The moment the thousand silk threads wrapped around his wrist, he simultaneously grabbed it tightly with his backhand.

He had originally prepared himself for death, but at this moment he came back to life.

But at the same time, the sword that was originally flying steadily shook violently, and Shen Wanwan almost fell off the sword.

Ye Tianlan was shocked and immediately freed up one hand to support Shen Wanwan. He did not dare to relax with the other hand and continued to supply spiritual power to the flying sword.

"Royal brother, I'm fine. Just focus on flying the sword and don't worry about me." Shen Wanwan's voice was filled with worry.

Compared to her own situation, she was more worried about the condition of her royal brother.

Starting from Shangjing City, in order to get to Jiangzhou as soon as possible, Ye Tianlan almost stayed awake while the boat was traveling fast on the water.

When we arrived in Yong'an City, we thought we could have a good rest at Sihai Inn, but we had to take a carriage out of the city overnight.

After much difficulty, they arrived at Dongjiling and, under the guidance of Chen Qianru, they arrived near the Xie family cemetery. However, before they stepped into the range of the Japanese national master's formation, they somehow fell into a desert.

The two walked in the desert for several hours relying on their physical strength, and there was no sign that they were about to reach the end of the desert.

After discussion, the two decided to fly on swords.

Although flying with a sword consumes a lot of spiritual energy, with space at hand, there is no need to worry about not being able to recover after the spiritual energy is exhausted.

However, this would likely mean they would spend even more time in this haunted place. However, this was the best approach they had come up with after weighing the pros and cons.

The two of them flew on their swords for only a quarter of an hour when they saw something unusual happening from afar.

It was fine for the past few hours, but suddenly the volcano erupted. Someone must have done something.

Ye Tianlan immediately drove his flying sword towards this side, and sure enough, Shen Wanwan saw a figure surrounded by magma at a glance.

When Shen Wanwan spoke to remind Ye Tianlan, the latter also discovered the black figure in the center of the dark red lava.

The magma was too hot, and it was not easy for him to get close to it. It also required more spiritual power. The sudden addition of a person's weight caused the sword to become unstable.

Fortunately, Shen Wanwan managed to steady herself in time, otherwise, even if Ye Tianlan reached out a hand to help her, she would probably fall from the air.

Ye Tianlan secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Shen Wanwan was indeed fine. At that moment just now, his heart almost jumped out.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough and increased his spiritual power output in time to stabilize the sword, otherwise...

Gu Beichen also noticed the scene where Shen Wanwan almost fell down. At that moment, his soul almost left his body.

He would rather they not save him than see her get into trouble here. In an instant, his tight grip on Qian Chanxiao's hand loosened slightly. If it weren't for him, the two brothers and sisters would definitely be able to return to the safe area safely.

"Beichen, although Qian Chan Xiao is a magical weapon, it also requires the spiritual energy of my brother to maintain, so you have to hold on tightly. As long as you can get through this distance, it will be fine."

When Shen Wanwan's voice came, Gu Beichen's heart trembled, and he no longer had the idea of ​​letting go.

A quarter of an hour later, the flying sword, carrying two people and hanging one person, finally flew away from the original lake area.

But the volcano erupted too quickly, and the magma filled the gully between the lake and the desert, continued to rise, and finally flowed over the desert hills into the desert.

Ye Tianlan had no choice but to continue flying the sword forward, and only after exhausting his last bit of spiritual power could he barely get the flying sword out of the range of the molten lava.

After landing, the Lingxu Sword returned to Ye Tianlan's hand, but he could no longer hold on and collapsed to the ground.

Shen Wanwan's mind moved, and a bowl of spiritual spring water appeared in her hand. "Brother, drink some spiritual spring water first to restore your strength."

She brought the bowl to Ye Tianlan's lips.

Ye Tianlan did not refuse and let Shen Wanwan feed him the spiritual spring water in the bowl.

"It's not safe here. We must leave here as soon as possible." Gu Beichen looked towards the crater with a serious expression.
