Chapter 177 Lava RiverQin Fu remained silent and did not respond to Jin Yan's question. Wu Jinqiang watched this scene from the side and couldn't help shaking his head, a disdainful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he muttered: "This woman is really slow." Afterwards, Qin Fu took a step forward without hesitation and headed towards the eastern area. However, Sun Wu seemed to understand what Qin Fu was thinking. He gently pulled Jin Yan's sleeve, his tone full of unquestionable certainty: "Let's go, Jin Yan... Qin Fu is not kidding." Under Jin Yan's trance and Sun Wu's expression, as well as Dezhi's silent following, the three finally decided to join Qin Fu's ranks. They traveled through the black fog together. As they moved forward steadily towards the east, only a little over twenty minutes passed. Wu Jinqiang, who was walking in the front, was about to take another big step under the cover of the black fog. Qin Fu caught a glimpse of something unusual, and suddenly, his low and powerful words broke the silence around him:
"do not move." This sentence was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, instantly making everyone present tense. Wu Jinqiang's footsteps, which were about to land, suddenly stopped in mid-air after receiving the order. He turned to look at Qin Fu, his eyes full of doubt and anxiety, and asked anxiously: "Brother Fu, what happened?" Qin Fu did not answer immediately. He slowly walked towards Wu Jinqiang. During this moment of silence, Qin Fu finally stopped and stood side by side with Wu Jinqiang. Then, Qin Fu's finger gently pointed to the area where Wu Jinqiang almost stepped into. His voice was deep and powerful, as if every word carried important information: "Take a close look at this." Upon hearing this, Wu Jinqiang quickly retracted his foot that was about to fall to the ground as if he had been electrocuted, and his heart skipped a beat. Then he bent down, his eyes wide open, and examined the ground beneath his feet carefully. This sight made his face turn pale instantly, his pupils shrank suddenly, and his fear was beyond words. He took a breath and blurted out: "Fuck. I almost died for no reason." When everyone heard Wu Jinqiang's exclamation, they quickened their pace and gathered around. When they saw the terrifying scene, they couldn't help but gasp and beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads. I saw a hidden trap quietly opening on the ground. Amidst the black fog, a river made of hot lava quietly came into view. The river is like a living dragon, rushing non-stop, emitting waves of suffocating heat and dazzling red light. Qin Fu's eyes were deep, and he said in a deep voice: "This is the lava river. It's the only way for us to enter the wind zone." Hearing Qin Fu's words, Wu Jinqiang swallowed involuntarily, and an indescribable uneasiness surged in his heart.
He wanted to look up at the other side, trying to find a clue to cross the river. However, in this thick and impenetrable black fog, the other side of the river seemed to be swallowed up by endless darkness, with no end in sight. Wu Jinqiang shook his head helplessly, his finger gently slid across the void, pointing to the unreachable other side, and said with a wry smile: "Brother Fu, how... do we get across? Do we really have to swim?" Everyone looked in the direction of Wu Jinqiang's slightly nervous finger, and wherever they looked, there was only haziness and unknown. Everyone frowned and looked at each other. Mo Yiyan frowned, his eyes full of doubts, and he said softly: "It looks like the distance to the other side is really not close." At this moment, Sun Wu's attention was attracted by the strange scene above the lava river. He noticed that the high temperature emitted by the lava river seemed to have an invisible magic power, baking the surrounding air and distorting it, forming huge black clouds. These black clouds continued to rise into the sky, like the breath of a devil. Sun Wu had an idea and decided to try it out himself. He searched quickly around and finally picked up a seemingly ordinary branch. He gripped the branch tightly, then threw it violently, throwing it into the seemingly calm lava river. However, at the moment when the branch was thrown above the lava river. The moment the black cloud touched the branch, it seemed to be swallowed by the invisible high temperature. It instantly turned into black charcoal slag, floating on the surface of the lava river, stirring up tiny ripples. Sun Wu slowly turned around, glanced at everyone, and said in a serious tone: "Did everyone notice? The tree branch is in such a bad condition that even if we fly, it will be difficult for us to land safely on the other side..." After witnessing Sun Wu's experiment, everyone frowned, with anxiety written all over their faces. Jin Yan couldn't suppress the impulse in her heart 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 into this throw. With a low whistle, Jin Yan threw the branch into the lava river to a height of more than fifty meters. However, even so, nothing can be changed. The branches approached the twisted black cloud above the lava river. Just like before, it was instantly swallowed up by the high temperature and turned into black charcoal slag. Then they fell in the form of particles of black charcoal and disappeared silently into the abyss of the lava river. Jin Yan retracted her gaze, with a hint of helplessness in her tone: "It seems that the high temperature of this lava river has formed an invisible high-temperature wall, isolating us from the other side..." Han Zichu's eyes flashed with anxiety. She immediately turned to Qin Fu and asked anxiously: "Is there really no other way to bypass this lava river?" Qin Fu heard this and replied briefly and firmly: "No."
After saying that, Qin Fu bent down, carefully picked up a pile of pebbles on the ground, and held them tightly in his hand. He then began to walk back and forth on the cliff edge of the lava river. This scene made everyone look at each other in bewilderment, their hearts filled with doubt and confusion. Seeing this, Sun Wu wanted to go over to see if there was anything he could do to help. But at this moment, Xu Wenting shook her head gently. "Qin Fu will arrange it." She said softly. Hearing Xu Wenting's words, Sun Wu stopped the step he was about to take. Then, Qin Fu walked while carefully throwing the small stones in his hand into the lava river. The moment every stone fell into the lava river, it disappeared in the rolling heat waves. Everyone looked at Qin Fu's actions, and the doubts in their hearts grew like a snowball. They looked at each other, but no one dared to ask. They could only follow Qin Fu's steps silently, their hearts filled with anticipation and anxiety. Dezhi watched Qin Fu throwing stones continuously. He quietly approached Sun Wukong and whispered: "I want to play too!" "." (End of this chapter)
