Chapter 313 Crazy Ideas
"Don't be nervous, everyone! We will speed up our pace. This fire will not hurt us." Balk, as the captain, responded immediately. He glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice.
Julia nodded quickly, and the other team members quickly came to their senses, with a look of recognition on their faces, but Xius frowned and said, "But how should we go now? The road ahead has been covered by fire, and we can't see the specific location of the mountain road at all. There are fires around. Does anyone still remember the location of the mountain road?"
"I know." Nakelulu immediately showed a smug look on her face when she heard this. She smiled and pointed to her front, and said confidently: "In this direction, as long as we keep walking, we can escape from danger."
"Yes!" Balk nodded quickly, took over the conversation, and said, "Although the fire is very large now, the seven of us are now using our abilities together, and the air shield arranged with breath is stronger. This powerful fire is not afraid at all. Let's stop talking nonsense, speed up. I remember this direction in this way."
"Okay." After everyone said in unison, the speed under their feet immediately accelerated a lot.
Just ten minutes later, the group successfully reached the edge of the platform, but they hit a wall. They did not find the mountain road because of the direction they remembered before the fire appeared. Instead, they hit a hot wall burned by flames. The thickness and hardness of the wall were extremely terrifying, but what was even more shocking was its height.
This wall was so familiar to the members of the entire adventure team. Everyone recognized it at a glance that it was the kind of attack that could be absorbed and could not be destroyed at all. It was as high as a mountain towering into the clouds, and it was impossible to see the wall at the top clearly.
"How could this happen?" Balk said in confusion.
"Naklulu, have you remembered it wrong?" Julia looked at Naklulu suspiciously and asked.
"I don't. I clearly remember it's here." An innocent expression suddenly appeared on Nakolulu's face, but her innocence was not recognized by others. Except for the two members of the broken corporation, Rhodes and Sius, McCarthy, Ren Charlie and Barke all cast doubtful eyes at him.
Seeing that Nakolulu's aggrieved face turned red, Seus was about to burst out. He quickly spoke, and Terakolulu rescued the situation and said, "Don't argue. Let's think about it carefully. What is the direction. Julia, since you said Lulu was wrong, do you remember the direction of that mountain road?"
Julia lowered her head and thought for a moment, then stretched out her green finger and pointed to her left back, saying, "I remember, it should be there."
"Okay. Since that's the case, let's go in this direction once. Wouldn't it be enough? Anyway, we don't have much more than anything now, the most is time." Sius said quickly.
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone else, including Nakolulu, felt it made sense and nodded at the same time. Then the group walked towards the overwhelming sea of fire ahead in the direction Julia pointed. The third floor platform range was not very large, and everyone was faster this time than before, so soon everyone came to the edge.
Julia's pride and confidence appeared on her face since Seus made her suggestions. However, when the group came to the edge of the platform and faced the wall that was almost exactly the same as before, her face turned pale in an instant.
Julia shook her head in disbelief. She clearly remembered that when the flame just appeared, she remembered the direction of the mountain road. It should be here. Why has it suddenly turned into a wall now? Could it be that the mountain road suddenly disappeared?
Julia's face was extremely embarrassed. She no longer had the nerve to scold Nakolulu, so she had to lower her head depressedly. Seeing her sister's reaction, Balk immediately understood the general idea and quickly explained: "Sorry, everyone. The position Julia pointed just now is not accurate. I remember to go a little further to the right. Let's walk around there."
Those who can enter the quarterfinals are not fools, and no one is easy to fool. But the situation is special at this moment, and no one is interested in blaming anyone. After just nodding, he moved forward again in the direction that Balk pointed out. Although he didn't say anything, the pressure this silence brought to Julia and Balk's siblings was quite a bit.
Although there was no expression on the faces of the brother and sister, they both took a deep breath in their hearts.
Time passed by minute by minute. There was no wind here, but the fire was very strong and it became stronger and stronger.
The sea of fire, which was originally not even at the knees of everyone, was very fast. After almost ten minutes, it seemed like a wave that had skyrocketed countless times in an instant, and the height had risen to an unimaginable level. Just like a fire phoenix spreading its wings and was hiding a sensation of flying, burning the white mist that could not be dispelled in the sky, showing a sign of dissipation.
The members of the adventure team looked up and could not see the sky clearly. In their eyes at this moment, there was nothing else, only the red fire, surrounded by fire, fire on the ground, fire above the head or fire. If someone could stand on the out of reach white mist at this time, he would definitely be deeply attracted by the strange scene under him.
I saw that in a large platform covered by a sea of fire, I could see a shiny ball constantly moving in the flames, sometimes going east, sometimes going west, and sometimes moving north. The size of the ball is too small compared to the fire covering the entire platform, just like a golden elixir melting in the fire.
But although the fire is fierce, it seems that it cannot melt the golden elixir at all, and it can only make it brighter and more transparent. At first glance, it is very beautiful. However, the members of the adventure team who seem to be in the golden elixir do not have the pleasure of enjoying the beautiful scenery at all, and they are not proud and happy because they are part of the golden elixir that cannot be transformed and are dazzling.
In their hearts, there was only one kind of emotion and anxiety. After hitting the wall countless times, when everyone gradually found that their physical strength was exhausted, the spherical air shield that had been covering everyone's body like a protective cover gradually showed signs of collapse under the double wear of time and fire, everyone's hearts were all in their throats at this moment.
"No." After McCarthy discovered this, his face suddenly turned pale and he said in panic: "If this continues, I think we will be burned to death before we find the exit of the mountain road!"
"Don't panic! I'm trying to figure out a way." Balk said quickly, but anyone could see that his face was very ugly at this time. Although he was not as panic as McCarthy, his inner worries were no less than the other party. According to his idea, no matter where the direction of the mountain road was, as long as he tried one by one, he would definitely find it.
But he never expected that the tendency of the fire to increase would be so rapid, and the difficulty of finding a mountain road was far beyond his expectations. He tried it seven times in a row, but it was unsuccessful. He frowned and seemed to have a lump of flesh suddenly growing between his eyebrows, and his face was full of sorrow.
The other team members had different expressions at this time, including worry, indifference, calmness, and panic, but no matter what the expression they were, they were the same inside. It was like the fire covering their whole body, and they were anxious.
At this moment, Wuqi suddenly woke up from a brief coma. As soon as he woke up, he felt that his whole body was burning and his lips and throat were almost on fire. He couldn't help but let out a muffled groan and wanted to drink water. But before he could speak, he glanced at the team members and suddenly realized that everyone's faces looked like snow-white snow, which was so white that it was scary that there was no blood.
Even Rhode, who has always been taciturn, had a much calmer look than those of the two women Naklulu and Julia, but Wuqi could only see at a glance that there was an unfading sadness on his face like a cloud.
"What's wrong? Lao De." Wuqi asked in confusion.
However, before Rhode could answer, he was immediately stunned by the fires all over the sky. He couldn't help but breathe a breath of air, and then said, "What the hell is going on! Why is the fire so big all of a sudden? Haven't you found the mountain road leading to the upper floor? Haven't you known its location long ago?"
Not only the members of the Broken Corps, but also Barke, McCarthy, Ren Charlie and others heard this voice, a look of joy flashed across their faces without any concealment, and they turned to look at Wuqi one after another. However, in just a moment, the joy on their faces suddenly disappeared.
After hearing Wuqi's complaints, even Balk, who had always been conceited, had to lower his head in shame and said, "I'll talk about these later.
The shield can't last long. Please help us think of a solution. Wuqi, you are the smartest here. We really have no choice but to do anything now. I don't know why, no matter how we look, we can't find that mountain road. If we don't get out of the sea of fire quickly, we will all be burned to ashes."
As soon as Balk finished speaking, the air mask behind him made a muffled sound at the same time. As the sound appeared, it was like a copper wall and an unbreakable air mask finally, at this moment, as if an egg shell was suddenly knocked out by someone. Almost in an instant, after a "pop", a small hole as big as a fist appeared on the air mask without any gaps.
At the same time, a flame more than five meters long suddenly seemed to have found a flood that had found a breakthrough, and instantly drilled into the small hole, raging wildly in the air inside the air cover. In the eyes of everyone, this flame seemed like a living fire dragon, constantly roaming and dancing above everyone's heads, and at the same time emitted an invisible but scorching and terrifying pressure.
In just a few seconds, the fire that kept pouring in from the small hole completely engulfed the space above everyone's heads, completely shattering the outer layer of the air shield, and at the same time, it made a sound of shocking air burning.
With the echo of the "hissing" sound, it seemed that at this moment, the fire that surrounded Wuqi and others seemed to have all turned into a hungry wolf and tiger licking their teeth one after another, and were staring at the only food inside. They were about to pounce on them together and completely swallow them up.
At this moment, the complaints and confusion on Wuqi's face suddenly disappeared, and his face suddenly became gloomy. After glanced around as fast as possible, his mind moved slightly, and immediately shouted, "Don't think about so much now! Cover the air mask again first! Quick! Don't be too big, just cover our bodies just right."
As soon as this said, everyone nodded and shouted together, and opened the air shield again. While the air shield had just covered all the players, the fire, which had not had an offensive, finally moved at this moment.
However, because Wuqi took the lead in seizing the opportunity, these fires that were like beasts could only leave some unwilling roars on the air shield that was twice as small as before.
But even so, the "hissing" sounds kept coming from all directions of the air shield, which made the team members who had just escaped couldn't help but take a deep breath. Wuqi frowned, looked at Balk, and asked, "Captain, what's going on?"
After Balk sighed lightly, he immediately explained the previous scene in the most concise way. After Wuqi finished listening, he thought for a moment and came to the conclusion, and then said with great certainty: "If I could walk around the edge of the platform at the beginning, I would have escaped from danger long ago, which is a pity.
Alas! But you can't blame you. If the fire hadn't suddenly worsened, it would have been a matter of time to find the mountain road. Now, the reason for this is that after being blocked by the fire, everyone cannot find a suitable reference when they move forward.
So, although everyone seemed to be walking in a straight line just now, it was actually a curve. This is why. Just like when I got lost in the Desert of Death and Naklulu, I couldn’t keep the route straight at all, and I would unknowingly go back to my original position."
As soon as this said, Julia, McCarthy, who had never been to the desert, and Ren Charlie were not very clear about the meaning, but Xius, who grew up in the forest, nodded immediately, "So that's the case." Nakelulu said in a daze.
Although Rhodes did not speak and still had a cold look, he had no doubts about Wuqi's point of view, so he nodded slowly.
After thinking carefully for a while, although he was still half-believing and half-doubted, he finally nodded silently, but his face did not show any relaxed expression. Instead, he became heavier and he said, "It's too late to know these things now. If there is no way to find the mountain road as soon as possible, we will definitely die."
As soon as he finished speaking, Julia, Nakolulu, McCarthy, Ren Charlie, even Sius and Rhodes all suddenly sank and stopped talking. For a moment, everyone's faces were ugly like a cloud that could not be dissipated, covering the faces of the team members, and also permeated everyone's hearts.
But Wuqi just frowned. Although his expression was still solemn, an extremely bright light appeared in his eyes after a moment, which represented hope and his innate confidence.
"I already have the solution." Wuqi said lightly.
"What?" Balk's body suddenly stiffened. After a moment of silence, he suddenly said in surprise when his heart moved.
At this moment, the other team members turned their heads to look at Wuqi. When they saw Wuqi's eyes bright and dazzling like the sun, the clouds on their hearts and faces seemed to have encountered an irresistible storm, which instantly disintegrated, and their faces showed an expression of extreme expectation.
However, when they were full of expectations and believed in Wuqi's solution, they suddenly seemed to be hit by a bolt from the blue. After trembling, they were all stunned and looked at Wuqi blankly, unable to say a word for a long time, with disbelief in their eyes.
"My solution is very simple. Just destroy these flames and you can see the mountain road?" Wuqi's answer was very simple, but the team members were extremely disappointed with his answer.
Such a big fire is simply a sea of fire. Didn’t you see it?
We are just flesh and blood. Even if we have some tricks, we want to put out such a large fire with the power of a few people. It is simply a delusion. Even if Naklulu is a magician, so what? If she could use a large-scale magic that could extinguish the fire before, why didn't she perform at the beginning? Crazy. You are so crazy!
In just a moment, the team members suddenly realized that Wuqi's bright eyes, which were like the sun, did not represent hope, nor did he represent his wisdom, but only represented madness that they could not accept at all.
