In life, there would inevitably be ups and downs. Junior Leopard felt that he was in a high-tide period now.
In the deep passage of the underground fire vein, Junior Leopard's toes only needed to tap lightly, and he would fly dozens of feet in front, like a rotten leaf without carrying a strand of smoke. The Internal Qi in his body was flowing smoothly, and there was no longer a sense of obstruction. His skeleton was just like jade. His body from head to toe seemed to carry boundless energy. After experiencing a bout of pain in hell, he finally reached heaven.
He managed to successfully control the Mysterious Fire within his Dantian. After completely controlling the Internal Qi within his body, even though his strength had soared, he had become extremely weary. He had nothing to complain of, in particular, hence he immediately regulated his breathing within the passageway. He then forcefully slept, until he was woken up by a sudden violent tremble.
”Earthquake?!” This was Junior Leopard's first thought. However, very quickly, this kind of possibility was erased. If it was really an earthquake, he would not be able to live anymore. Here was the underground fire vein. Just a small earthquake would be able to cause the lava to flow from underground. If that was the case, neither the Blaze Technique of the Heavenly Nine Dragon nor the Green Jade Qian Yuan Skill would help him, nor there was only death waiting for him.
Furthermore, this trembling came in waves. First, it was a wave of the earth shaking, dust scattering all over. Following that was a piece of quiet as if nothing had happened just now.
Being woken up, he also didn't know how long he had slept. After thinking for a while, he followed the original path to return to the main passageway. He displayed his Lightness Skill, moving forward.
This was because his cultivation just rose, and his mental and spiritual energy was at its peak., so his confidence abounded. Naturally, his speed was much faster than before. After sprinting for 4-6 hours, he only felt that the color of the wall on the passageway became darker and darker as well as the temperature was getting higher and higher. Very soon, he met a person who fell.
This over-confident idiot!
Seeing that person lying there, Junior Leopard hurriedly moved forward and checked his breathing. But he immediately found it had already disappeared and the corpse had been solidified.
Looking at his posture, it should be because he couldn't withstand the temperature in front, then he retreated from his team. He originally wanted to return to the original route, however, when he reached here, he couldn't withstand it anymore.
”There is fire toxin here!” Feeling the Evil Qi flowing in the atmosphere, Junior Leopard lightly frowned.
The so-called fire toxin was the Evil Qi of a fire attribute. However the amount of this Evil Qi was too little. It was scattered in the air and unable to be used. But it was extremely harmful to human body, hence it was termed fire toxin.
There was the first person who fell down. Naturally, there would be the second one. Seeing that people had died, Junior Leopard didn't bother much. He thought that he would bring the bodies out on the way out. At least there would be a proper burial for them. He then continued going forward. After moving for dozens of feet, he then discovered a second batch of corpses. Yes, the second batch, and it was not just one person, but five or more. Just like before, they couldn't withstand the high temperature and was struck by the fire toxin.
After meeting a few more batches of corpses, afterward, he finally met alive people. And they were familiar people.
”Seniors, what's the matter?”
He saw Jin Nanqing sitting down with his whole body sweating profusely. He was trying hard to circulate his Qi to expel the fire toxin. As for the other Wu Family's disciples, they were lying on the floor in a near death state; they seemed to have little breath left.
Seeing Junior Leopard, Jin Nanqing who was circulating his Qi finally revealed a strand of happiness.
”Junior Leopard, come to get us out of here. The fire toxin here is too powerful---!”
Junior Leopard didn't dare to delay for long. He stacked up the unlucky few seniors on top of himself like Luohans. He summoned the strength in his legs and rushed outwards.
He ran all the way.
These few people's weight was about 500 kg. If Junior Leopard had not achieved a breakthrough just now, after carrying them on his back and running swiftly, he would definitely fall down. Even though he didn't collapse, it was still very difficult for him.
”Okay, here, put us down!” After running for 5-6 miles, Jin Nanqing on his back suddenly spoke, ”There is no longer any fire toxin. Put us down!”
Junior Leopard was still somewhat worried so he carried them more 1-2 miles before putting everybody down.
”Senior, what happened exactly?!”
”Aye, what else can it be? It is us having too much confidence in our strength!” Jin Nanqing sighed, ”This underground fire vein, the further you go, the higher the temperature is. There is also fire attribute Evil Qi accompanying it. The deeper one goes, the denser the fire toxin. The people within the military camp didn't detect it in time. Only when we were poisoned then we realized. When we wanted to go back, we didn't have enough time. Fortunately, the few of us had practiced the Blaze Technique of the Heavenly Nine Dragon. Our resistance is thus stronger than others. If not, we would have become corpses just like the rest of them.”
