Chapter 90 [Human-faced Butterfly] (1)
At this time, the surrounding area became white because of the dispersion of water vapor. The pool water had already flooded Luo Xingmu's chest. Luo Xingmu raised the cap of the ice coffin with both hands and vaguely identified the direction of the road ahead through the water vapor and advanced towards the high place.
At this time, the blue butterfly flew towards him again. Luo Xingmu raised the ice coffin and drove away the butterfly. He climbed to a high place and placed the lid of the ice coffin aside. He saw the body of the girl in red floating straight on the water. The blue butterfly slowly landed on her chest, with her wings spreading and closing, and the patterns on the face on her wings seemed to be breathing continuously.
Suddenly, Luo Xingmu felt a sharp pain in his chest, as if thousands of steel needles were pierced into his body. He reached out to find the iron box containing the Tianmu Thousand-Pedes, but found that the bottom of the iron box had been pierced. Luo Xingmu was shocked and hurriedly untied his clothes and exposed his chest. He saw a black and white eye attached to his heart, which was actually the Tianmu Thousand-Pedes that escaped through the iron box. Luo Xingmu's mind suddenly became blank, and he was completely lost for a moment. He thought that the Tianmu Thousand-Pedes would sleep in the iron box, but he could not have the ability to break through the iron box. After a moment of thinking, he understood the truth. It must be that his body was soaked in warm water. The iron box was heat-conducting, and the increase in the internal ambient temperature awakened the Tianmu Thousand-Pedes that were dormant, so it bit the iron box and drilled into its own body.
Luo Xingmu looked at the thousand-pedebow of the sky, and then looked at the fragment of the ice coffin engraved with the Eternal Life Art. He did not expect that after all his hard work, he ended up with this result. He was completely lost for a moment, and stayed there, his mind was blank.
The body of the girl in red floated farther and farther along the water flow, and the blue butterfly still landed on her chest, and the pattern behind her that looked like a human face seemed to be laughing at Luo Xingmu.
Luo Lie and Yan Tianxin took advantage of Luo Xingmu's destruction of the ice coffin and the white vapor formed by the intersection of lava and pool water. Their sight was greatly affected. In front of them was a gap of eight meters wide. The magma above flowed continuously to the pool at the bottom of the cave. At this time, the temperature in the cave was already very high, as if it was entering a huge sauna. Because the accumulation of magma was still increasing, Luo Lie and Yan Tianxin were not sure to cross this distance. When the two were about to find another path, a hoarse voice came from the opposite side: "Catch it!"
Luo Lie looked closely and saw a hazy figure standing on the other side. A long rope broke through the white gas and threw it over here. Luo Lie reached out to catch it. The person who helped them should be the scar-faced man who had just attacked Luo Xingmu.
Luo Lie was worried that the vine could not bear the weight of the two at the same time, so he asked Yan Tianxin to grab the vine and swing it first. Yan Tianxin used the vine to cross the eight-meter-wide magma like a swing. When his body passed over the magma, he was like being on a huge steamer and coming to the opposite side. The scar-faced man grabbed her, helped her stand firm, and then threw the vine over.
Luo Lie grabbed the vine with both hands, took a few steps back, then assisted and jumped, and did it in one go. The moment his feet left the ground, he heard Yan Tianxin cry out: "Be careful!" However, Luo Xingmu rushed up from behind, trying to catch Luo Lie, but after all, he rushed too quickly, and his inertia almost fell into the magma. However, at the last moment, he still controlled his body. Luo Xingmu was still holding the ice coffin fragment between his left arm, and his eyes completely turned ink due to the veins.
Luo Lie's feet landed on the ground. When he turned around, he saw that the waterfall formed by magma had reached ten meters in width. Without the help of the Scarfaced Man, he and Yan Tianxin would not have been able to pass through.
The scarfaced man let out a strange laugh. He pulled the vine back and used the blade to pick up the fiery red magma and approached the tail of the vine. The vine burned and spread quickly upwards. The scarfaced man looked at the other party's Luo Xingmu and smiled more and more happily.
Luo Xingmu held the ice cube with his hands that had the Eternal Life Art, and his face turned blue. He roared angrily: "Who are you? Why do you harm me so much?"
The scarred man raised his index finger on his right hand and then whispered softly in front of his lips.
Luo Xingmu's eyes widened because of panic. He shook his head vigorously and said, "Impossible! You are dead... You are obviously dead!" This gesture was very familiar to him. In the past, this was the move his old friend and classmate Fang Kewen was most accustomed to, but Fang Kewen was clearly dead in the last expedition, so why did he appear here? Did he always live in this cave far away from the crowd?
Although the Scarface Man did not reveal his identity, Luo Lie also guessed his name from Luo Xingmu's reaction. The Scarface Man should be Fang Kewen, one of the main members of the exploration with Luo Xingmu and Ma Boxuan, it turned out that he was still living in the world. What exactly made his companions turn against each other? He even tried to eliminate the other party at all costs. It seemed that the answer was not far from being revealed.
The hoarse voice of the Scarface man was like a blade scratching on the rusty iron plate. He snorted coldly and said, "You naturally wish I could die... Dog thief, I have been waiting for you here for five years. I know you will come back one day. I feel sorry for you... I finally let me wait for you as a bastard..." His body trembled with anger and excitement.
Luo Xingmu held the story of immortality in his hand: "Do you think I was causing you this? You and Ma Boxuan insisted on finding the Yu Shen Monument, and I have already advised you to leave." This scarfaced man was Fang Kewen.
Fang Kewen glared at Luo Xingmu and said, "You abandon me and leave me alone in this cave. My name is Tiantian and should not be called Tiandi. Do you know what I have experienced in the past five years?"
Luo Xingmu slowly shook his head and said, "I don't remember what happened back then, I don't remember anything!" He pulled open his clothes, revealing the black and white eyeballs on his chest.
Yan Tianxin saw that there was a thousand-pedeth insect on Luo Xingmu's chest, and couldn't help but exclaim. Luo Lie thought of the thousand-pedeth insect that was hidden in the iron box by Luo Xingmu. It was thought that the insect was not honest and quietly climbed out and nailed it to Luo Xingmu. As the saying goes, the retribution of the law of heaven was unhappy, and Luo Xingmu finally tasted the taste of being tarred by poisonous substances. But then he thought, if this guy was bound to die, he would undoubtedly not know what crazy things he would do.
Fang Kewen saw the scene in front of him, but instead felt a sense of pleasure from the bottom of his heart and burst into laughter. The cycle of retribution was unhappy. It seemed that God did not let the evil man Luo Xingmu go.
Luo Xingmu roared: "Do you think that only you are in pain over the years? Only you are abandoned? Do you know how you are watching yourself age quickly? Do you know the pain of losing most of your memories? Do you know the feeling of being troubled by nightmares every night? Do you don't understand? Do you blame me? Who am I going to blame?" He suddenly raised his hand and threw out the fragment of the ice coffin engraved with the Eternal Life Art. The fragments were rotating and flying out, falling in the center of the magma, throwing it out at Luo Xingmu.
At the same time as the fragments, his body also flew up. With his jumping ability, he could not cross the magma gap that was nine meters wide in one step, so his body fell down halfway through. Luo Xingmu's toes happened to be a little on the ice coffin fragment, and then his body flew up again. The ice coffin fragment engraved with the technique of immortality melted rapidly in the hot magma. After being stepped on by Luo Xingmu, it immediately disappeared into the magma. However, Luo Xingmu took advantage of the moment when the fragments had not melted and successfully crossed the gap to the other side.
When Luo Lie saw Luo Xingmu throwing out the fragments, he realized that Luo Xingmu had already let go of the desire in his heart and was possessed by the Tianmu Millipede. Even if Luo Xingmu obtained the Eternal Life Art, it would be difficult to revive the dead. Luo Xingmu understood this truth, so the Eternal Life Art has no use to him.
Fang Kewen also understood this truth, so before Luo Xingmu could land, he raised crossbow arrows and shot him one after another.
Luo Xingmu grabbed several handfuls in the void with both hands, and grabbed all the feather arrows that Fang Kewen shot at him. When he fell, he threw the feather arrows at the other side of the shore. Obviously, the enemy in his heart was not just Fang Kewen.
Luo Lie and the other two hurriedly avoided Luo Xingmu's attack.
Luo Lie drew out the Tang sword and was ready to fight.
