Chapter 1286 Don't Guard the Door for Strangers
The night was as deep and dark as iron.
The distant active volcano is like an ancient behemoth crouching in the darkness, and the wisps of smoke rising from its summit are like its long breaths as it sleeps.
At the edge of the crater, Lin Zhen and the ghostly figure emerged from the darkness.
A scorching hot air wave hit my face.
The strong smell of sulfur in the air was enough to suffocate any mortal instantly.
"Your Highness, are you sure..."
The ghostly voice seeped from beneath the mask, carrying an unusually solemn tone.
He wasn't afraid of death.
He feared that if anything happened to the prince, he would die a thousand deaths to atone for it.
"rest assured."
Lin Zhen's voice was calm and even.
"Stay close to me, within three steps."
As soon as he finished speaking, a blue halo, invisible to the naked eye, rippled out from his body, transforming into a perfect spherical shield that enveloped the two of them.
The scorching heat wave touched the shield and was instantly deflected and deflected by an invisible force.
The ghost suddenly felt a lightness all over its body.
The scorching heat that felt like it was roasting his internal organs vanished without a trace.
His heart was filled with turmoil, but he pressed his lips tightly together and dared not utter a single word.
He simply gripped the dagger tighter, his eyes filled with extreme vigilance.
Lin Zhen said no more.
He took out a strange compass-like instrument, glanced at the wildly fluctuating data on it, and then leaped into the air.
He jumped into the bottomless crater of the volcano, which was billowing with thick smoke.
Without hesitation, the ghostly figure followed closely behind.
The interior of a volcano is a purgatory of death and destruction.
Crimson lava surged beneath their feet, converging into a roaring underground river of madness.
The surrounding rock walls were glowing red from the heat, and burning boulders rolled down from above from time to time.
The air was filled with highly toxic gas, each wisp of which could be fatal instantly.
However, this hellish scene appeared incredibly fragile before Lin Zhen's thin energy shield.
The two of them proceeded at a leisurely pace toward the deepest part of the volcano.
The posture was not like that of a death squad member who had trespassed into forbidden territory, but more like that of someone inspecting their own garden.
It dived to a depth of several thousand meters.
My eyes suddenly opened up.
A colossal circular lava cave, an underground palace, came into view.
In the center of the cave is a giant lake of churning lava.
Huge bubbles were rising from the lake surface, each burst sending sparks flying everywhere.
In the very center of the lava lake stands a massive, spire-shaped mineral vein.
The vein was composed of unknown black crystals, with a faint blue light flickering inside, like the heart of a breathing star.
Mysterious, filled with ineffable primal power.
"found it."
Lin Zhen looked at the blue crystal vein, which appeared particularly eerie under the red light of the magma, and a smile curved his lips.
He was about to fly over with Ghost Shadow to mine.
Changes occur suddenly.
"Rumble--"
The entire massive lava cave trembled violently!
The lava lake in the center, which was originally relatively calm, began to surge wildly in an extremely terrifying manner!
A colossal shadow, even larger and more ferocious than the previous deep-sea monster, slowly rose from the bottom of the scorching lava lake!
It was a giant humanoid creature made of black volcanic rock and flowing lava!
He's 100 meters tall!
The body is like a moving mountain!
Its eyes are two burning vortexes made of the purest magma!
It had no mouth or nose, but Lin Zhen and the ghost could clearly sense the endless anger and violence emanating from it.
The guardian of this volcano.
The last line of defense for this treasure trove of the gods!
Those magma eyes, burning with raging flames, were locked onto Lin Zhen and Ghost Shadow, the two uninvited guests.
A roar unlike any other living being could utter, deep and furious, resounded throughout the entire inner world!
It suddenly raised its giant arm, made of the hardest obsidian.
Carrying the terrifying power of the Yiping Mountains, it crashed down fiercely towards Lin Zhen and the ghostly figure!
……
The camp, on the highest watchtower.
Murong Yan stood alone.
Her beautiful phoenix eyes remained fixed on the massive volcano lurking in the night in the distance.
She has been standing here for an hour.
Her heart clenched for an hour.
She knew her husband was omnipotent.
Yet her heart still couldn't help but worry and fear for him.
She was still wearing the Phoenix Descent Dress, her only nightgown.
A cold night wind howled, causing her exquisitely black, luxurious dress to flutter wildly.
The giant phoenix embroidered in gold thread on the hem of her skirt, illuminated by the dark red light emanating from the distant volcano, had its feathers swirling with an ominous crimson hue.
In those phoenix eyes was the same deep anxiety as its master.
Its five-zhang-long, dark gold trailing tail danced wildly in the night wind, like a restless, imprisoned black dragon emitting a silent roar.
She didn't know how much longer she could stand there.
All she knew was that if the man didn't return before dawn...
She really will do as she says.
They took their children and went to find him in that hell themselves.
Even if it means being shattered to pieces.
……
Inside a lava cave in the Earth's core.
Faced with that earth-shattering, devastating blow.
Lin Zhen's face remained completely expressionless.
He simply pulled the ghostly figure back slightly.
Then, he slowly took something out of his pocket.
A uniquely shaped, silver-white pistol, exuding a futuristic technological feel.
It was the high-frequency energy cutting gun that he "borrowed" from the Nihilistic Party base and personally modified.
A handheld mining tool.
He raised the tool, which looked more like a "power drill" to him, and aimed it at the massive rock arm that was hurtling towards him.
Pull the trigger gently.
"laugh--"
A barely audible sound.
A thin, blue energy beam flashed past the muzzle of the gun.
next second.
The giant arm, made of the hardest obsidian, silently broke off less than ten meters from Lin Zhen.
The cut is as smooth as a mirror.
It's as if it was born in two parts.
"Roar--"
The enormous magma giant let out a furious roar filled with pain and bewilderment!
It can't figure it out.
It really doesn't understand.
why?
Why did my seemingly invincible fist become so vulnerable in front of this ant-like creature?
Lin Zhen was too lazy to give it time to think.
"Ghostly figure."
His voice was cold and left no room for argument.
"Go, play with it."
"Yes!"
The ghostly figure obeyed the order, leaving a trail of afterimages in its wake.
In the next instant, he appeared silently behind the magma giant!
The short blade in his hand transformed into two dazzling black lightning bolts, rapidly moving across the seemingly indestructible body of the magma giant!
Each flash brought with it a long string of dazzling sparks!
The magma giant was thoroughly enraged by this fly-like harassment!
It frantically waved its remaining arm, trying to smash the wretched insect that was jumping all over it into dust!
But the ghost was too fast.
He is a top-notch bullfighter who can always dodge a fatal blow at the most crucial moment and from the most tricky angle.
Just as the magma giant's attention was completely drawn to the ghostly figure.
The tiny insect, which seemed so insignificant to it, moved once again.
Lin Zhen's figure appeared out of thin air between the legs of the magma giant.
The mining gun in his hand once again glowed with a ghostly blue light of death.
Goodbye, big guys.
The corner of his mouth curled up in a cold arc.
"In your next life, don't guard the door for strangers."
