C24 (1/2)
Tie Lang's tightly shut eyes suddenly opened wide!
He didn't know how much time had passed, but when he opened his eyes, he realized that the collapse had long since ended. There was no longer the loud rumbling sound of the falling rocks and soil. His body was lying flat on the ground, with everything below his chest buried in the dirt. His vision was completely dark, without a single trace of light.
After trying to stretch his limbs, Tie Lang was very glad that his body was fine. He slowly twisted his body and climbed out of the soil. He carefully stood up and looked around.
”Cough, cough …” Tie Lang could not help but cough a few times. At this moment, his entire body was covered in dust, and there was also quite a bit of dust in his mouth and nose.
”Chirp, chirp!”
The little gray bean crawled out from Iron Wolf's bosom and stood on his shoulder.
The air was filled with the pungent smell of sulfur.
Although he already knew that his real name was Shen Lang, Tie Lang did not want to change his name. He still needed to understand a lot of things. He also needed to understand the memories of his father, mother, and a large number of enemies that appeared in his mind. He believed that when he stood in front of the Chou family with Shen Lang's name, he must have a power that would make his opponent tremble in fear!
Furthermore, in the past eleven years, he had already adapted to the name Iron Wolf.
”The Leng Clan is really ruthless. They delayed handing over the mine for the past few days, and they actually secretly planted explosives in the mine. The mine has been completely destroyed!”
Tie Lang took out a Moonstone from his bosom and used his strength to rub it a few times. A faint blue light then radiated from the Moonstone. With this faint light, Tie Lang looked around.
His back was completely sealed, and it was impossible for him to escape from this direction. However, in front of him on his left was a passageway that was as tall as a person.
He held the Moonstone in his hand and walked towards the direction of the tunnel, one step at a time …
Iron Wolf had originally thought that this passageway was one for mining the red sulphur mine. However, along the way, he did not discover any traces of manmade men who had opened mines. This passage was completely natural. The walls of the passage were covered with light red moss. From the looks of it, it must have been here for many years.
”This is not a mine?” Where would it lead to? ”Can you let me walk out from underground?” Tie Lang pondered, and kept moving forward.
”Hmm? Why was the temperature getting hotter? Is there a fire in front of us? ” After walking for about half an hour, Iron Wolf felt the temperature in the tunnel was getting hotter and hotter. Even with his body's resistance, it would be somewhat difficult for him to rush over.
However, what surprised him was that the little gray bean on his shoulder didn't seem to be affected by the temperature at all. Instead, it seemed to be very excited, chirping non-stop.
After walking for a while, the temperature became even higher and light started to appear before his eyes.
”Haha, is it about to exit?” Tie Lang could not help but quicken his pace.
A few minutes later, the passageway suddenly opened up, and a crimson ray of light rushed into their sights, bringing with it a surging heatwave.
Appearing in front of Iron Wolf was a large fire pool, its surface completely covered with flames. Under the flame, it was filled with magma that was red in color. Huge bubbles continuously bubbled from the boiling magma. The moment the bubbles reached the surface of the magma, they would directly shatter, turning into balls of blue flames …
Waves of scorching air waves crazily crashed and churned, causing even the air to become slightly distorted.
”So hot!” Tie Lang couldn't help but take two steps back. He channeled the true energy within his body into his entire body, and only then did he feel slightly better.
His gaze swept across the space slowly. Suddenly, something that appeared occasionally in the rolling lava attracted Iron Wolf's attention!
It was actually a sparkling and translucent beast bone that was over fifty feet large. It was as white as jade and there was a faint purplish-red glow flickering within it!
He had never seen such a huge beast bone iron wolf before. From the pressure that was faintly emitted from the skeleton, one could tell that this was definitely not an ordinary Demonic Beast. Perhaps it was a powerful Spirit Beast, but it was unknown why it died here.
”Chirp, chirp!”
Just when Iron Wolf was amazed and puzzled over this beast bone, the little gray bean on his shoulder let out a loud cry of excitement. The feathers on its body were fully opened as it flapped its wings continuously, transforming into a gray shadow that rushed into the fire pit, in the direction of the mysterious beast bone.
”Little Grey Bean!” ”Come back quickly!”
The abnormal reaction of the little gray bean made Tie Lang's expression change as he repeatedly shouted.
