Chapter 177 Lava River
Qin Fu remained silent and did not respond at all to Jin Yan's inquiry.
Wu Jinqiang watched this scene from the side and couldn't help but shook his head, with a disdainful smile on his lips and muttered:
"This woman is really slow."
Afterwards, Qin Fu took steps towards the eastern realm without hesitation.
However, Sun Wu seemed to understand the unspoken words in Qin Fu's heart.
He gently pulled Jin Yan's sleeves, with unquestionable affirmation in his tone:
"Let's go, Jin Yan... Qin Fu is not joking."
Under Jin Yan's trance, Sun Wu's expression, and Dezhi's silent following, the three finally decided to join Qin Fu's ranks.
They shuttled through the black mist together.
Just over twenty minutes passed as they moved resolutely towards the east.
Wu Jinqiang, who was marching at the front, was about to take another big step under the cover of black mist.
Qin Fu caught an unusual breath, and suddenly, his low and powerful words broke the silence around him:
"Don't move."
These words were like a huge stone thrown into a calm lake, instantly making everyone present tense up.
Wu Jinqiang's footsteps that were about to hit the ground suddenly hovered in mid-air after this order.
He turned to look at Qin Fu, his eyes full of doubts and uneasiness, and asked eagerly:
"Brother Fu, what happened?"
Qin Fu did not answer immediately, he slowly walked towards Wu Jinqiang.
In this moment of silence, Qin Fu finally stopped and stood side by side with Wu Jinqiang.
Then, Qin Fu pointed his finger gently at the area where Wu Jinqiang almost set foot.
His voice is low and powerful, as if every word carries important information:
"Take a careful look."
When Wu Jinqiang heard this, he quickly retracted his foot that was about to land as if he was electrocuted, and his heart skipped a beat.
Then he bent down, his eyes widened, and he carefully examined the ground under his feet.
This sight made his face turn pale instantly, his pupils shrank suddenly, and his panic was palpable.
He took a breath of air and blurted out:
"Damn it. I almost died for no reason."
When everyone heard Wu Jinqiang's exclamation, they quickened their pace and gathered around.
When they saw the frightening scene, they couldn't help but gasped, and beads of sweat broke out on their foreheads.
I saw a hidden trap quietly opening on the ground.
Amid the black mist, a river composed of hot lava quietly came into view.
The river is like a living dragon, running endlessly, emitting bursts of suffocating heat waves and dazzling red light.
Qin Fu's eyes were deep and he said in a deep voice:
"This is a lava river, and it is the only way we can enter the wind zone."
After hearing Qin Fu's words, Wu Jinqiang swallowed involuntarily, and felt an indescribable uneasiness in his heart.
He originally wanted to look up to the other side, trying to find any clue that he could cross the river.
However, in this thick and insoluble black mist, the other side seemed to be swallowed up by endless darkness, with no end in sight.
Wu Jinqiang shook his head helplessly, his fingers gently crossed the void, pointing to the other side that was out of reach, and said with a wry smile:
"Brother Fu, how can we get there? Do you really want us to swim?"
Everyone looked in the direction of Wu Jinqiang's slightly nervous finger, and everywhere they looked was hazy and unknown.
Everyone also frowned and looked at each other.
Mo Yiyan frowned, his eyes full of doubts, and he said softly:
"It seems that the distance to the other shore is indeed not close."
At this moment, Sun Wu's attention was attracted by the strange sight above the lava river. He noticed that the high temperature emanating from the lava river seemed to have invisible magic power, baking the surrounding air into distortions and forming huge black clouds.
These black clouds kept rising into the sky, like the breath of a devil.
Sun Wu's heart moved and he decided to test it himself.
He searched quickly around and finally picked up a seemingly ordinary branch.
He held the branch tightly, and then hurled it toward the seemingly calm lava river.
However, at the moment when the branch was thrown over the lava river.
The branch seemed to be swallowed up by invisible heat the moment the black cloud came into contact.
It instantly turned into black charcoal residue and fell on the lava river, causing tiny ripples.
Sun Wu turned around slowly, glanced at everyone, and said in a solemn tone:
"Did everyone notice? What happened to the branches, even if we fly, it will be difficult for us to land safely on the other side..."
After everyone witnessed Sun Wu's experiment, they all frowned, with uneasiness written on their faces.
Jin Yan couldn't hold back her inner impulse at this moment.
She bent down and picked up a thicker branch, holding it tightly with both hands, as if she wanted to concentrate all her strength on this throw.
With a low roar, Jin Yan struggled to throw the branch above the lava river, a height of more than fifty meters.
However, even so, nothing can be changed.
The branches were approaching the twisted black clouds above the lava river.
Just like before, it was instantly swallowed up by the high temperature and turned into black charcoal residue.
Then it fell in the form of grains of black coal and disappeared silently into the abyss of the lava river.
Jin Yan withdrew her gaze, with a hint of helplessness in her tone:
"It seems that the high temperature of this lava river has formed an invisible wall of high temperature, isolating us from the other side..."
Han Zichu's eyes flashed with anxiety. She immediately turned to Qin Fu and asked eagerly:
"Is there really no other way around this lava river?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Fu replied briefly but firmly:
"No."
After saying that, Qin Fu bent down, carefully selected a pile of pebbles on the ground, and held them tightly in his hands.
Then he began to walk back and forth on the cliff edge of the lava river.
This scene made everyone look at each other with doubts and confusion in their hearts.
Seeing this, Sun Wu wanted to go over and see if there was anything he could do to help.
But at this moment, Xu Wenting shook her head gently.
"Qin Fu will make arrangements." She said softly.
After hearing Xu Wenting's words, Sun Wu stopped taking steps.
Afterwards, Qin Fu carefully dropped the small stones in his hands into the lava river while walking.
The moment each stone fell into the lava river, it disappeared into the rolling heat wave.
Everyone looked at Qin Fu's actions, and the doubts in their hearts snowballed.
They looked at each other, but no one dared to ask.
They could only follow Qin Fu's steps silently, their hearts full of expectation and uneasiness.
Dezhi watched Qin Fu keep throwing stones. He quietly approached Sun Wu and whispered:
"I want to play too!"
