Chapter 641

In the silent room, only the sound of Hearing Luo Li's footsteps echoed continuously.

A quarter of an hour later!

Confirming that there was absolutely no trace of the Water and Fire Yakshas here, Hearing Luo Li scanned the environment and furnishings of the ancient palace once more, then turned to leave.

Looking at it this way, the reason why the auras of Yingda and Bonanus were present here was simply because their statues stood here.

It seemed that clues regarding their whereabouts would need to be sought elsewhere.

After making his decision, Hearing Luo Li immediately stepped out of the hall.

Having lost the power to sustain them, the blood-red lines on the doors gradually vanished, and finally, they slammed shut with a boom.

"Two mischievous little girls, they've both learned to play hide-and-seek with me."

Chuckling and clicking his tongue, Hearing Luo Li walked away leisurely, letting the sea waves behind him fall slowly to bury the palace lost at the bottom of the water once again.

Until he had completely freed himself, he pondered where to go next.

There were quite a few oddities in the Taowei Instrument; if he wanted to explore its secrets without damaging it, he would have to be gentle.

After all, it was originally drawn from the system, but unfortunately, Hearing Luo Li himself hadn't even had the chance to use it before gifting it to Lady Guizhong for self-defense.

Now, it had become a trouble that made things difficult for him.

However, at most, it would just waste some time; to him, time was the least valuable thing.

Just then, from the distant, seemingly fractured dark space, a strange fluctuation was vaguely transmitted.

"This is?"

Hearing Luo Li focused his gaze and saw a thin red line emerge from the depths of the pitch-black space he had come from, causing the black mist to dissipate significantly.

"An anomaly caused by Lumine and the others?"

Pondering for a moment, Hearing Luo Li had almost forgotten their existence; after all, although this place revealed strangeness everywhere, it wasn't very dangerous.

If Lumine and the others knew this, they would definitely complain indignantly that the two situations were not comparable at all.

Of course, even if Lumine's group knew right now, they probably wouldn't have the energy to complain.

…………

On the other side!

The interior of the space filled with black mist was in turmoil, and the true source of this disturbance was giant waves connecting to the sky.

The waves piled up, surging toward the distant horizon, merging into a raging torrent that threatened to destroy everything.

Looking at the scene behind them, Lumine and Paimon's group, who had just escaped from the water marsh world, turned slightly pale; under such power comparable to a natural disaster, the group was almost no different from ants.

It wasn't that they had no way to deal with it, but if they were one step too slow and the waves blocked all the gaps, it would definitely take more effort to break out later.

The group wasn't at full strength to begin with, and Xiao and Menogias were in a bad situation, even acting as a drag.

As for the rest, they seemed to be a bit short of the realm of an adeptus.

"Phew, we... we're saved!"

Paimon, still shaken, let out a long breath. After calming down, she couldn't help but put her hands on her hips and pout: "Darn it, if only that guy Hearing Luo Li were here, there's no way we would have encountered danger!"

The little thing started to complain about Hearing Luo Li leaving alone; how could he just wander around? At the very least... he should have brought her along!

Xiao, supporting Menogias, said calmly: "His Highness has his own important matters. Since you chose to continue staying here, you naturally have to bear the corresponding risks."

Paimon was speechless for a moment.

Miss Yelan clapped her hands to attract everyone's attention and guided the atmosphere: "In any case, we are safe for now, but we must not be careless. Just now, I saw many monsters rushing out from the lake; clearly, this stage isn't easy to pass. Everyone, we must find the entrance to the next place before the monsters catch up to us."

Actually, she wasn't the only one who saw it; the observant Sister Yanfei and Kuki Shinobu also made the discovery.

The two women looked at each other and said almost in unison: "This place is strange, different from the previous cave. It's best if we don't separate, so as not to get completely lost."

This proposal was agreed upon by everyone.

"Wait, have you noticed that the mist seems to be dissipating..." Lumine, who had been silent, suddenly spoke: "And the temperature here is higher."

Reminded by her, everyone suddenly realized.

Paimon wiggled her short legs, scratched her cheek belatedly, and said: "It is a little bit."

Indeed, as the group rushed out of the water marsh world, the mist that had been thick and inseparable gradually thinned out.

Not understanding the reason, everyone could only suppress their unease, watch the changes quietly, and secretly hope it would be to their advantage.

It was as if the air had suddenly begun to circulate; in just a short moment, the black mist had scattered seven or eight-tenths.

The group's restricted vision suddenly increased, enough to reach a hundred meters away.

At the same time, after seeing clearly what was ahead, they couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

Those were pitch-black ring-shaped mountain ranges; the mountains made of black rock were covered with gullies, like the rough bark of ancient trees with roots intertwined.

Within sight, a large amount of black mist was continuously spewing out from the mountain passes at the top.

If one observed carefully, one could see the air at the top of the mountain passes appearing slightly distorted, with fire-red flames flashing and disappearing.

"So that's where the black mist was being spat out from?!" Paimon opened her mouth wide in a daze.

Strangely, not knowing what kind of change had occurred inside the mountains, the black mist spewing from the top gradually became invisible, vanishing into nothingness.

"Why is the temperature around us getting higher and higher, and there's a strange smell drifting in the air."

Not knowing who said it inadvertently, it soon aroused Sister Yanfei's vigilance.

The half-adeptus girl holding the legal code said subconsciously: "We haven't run into a volcanic crater, have we?!"

And... a volcanic crater about to erupt.

She swallowed this last sentence and didn't say it out loud.

When she traveled to Natlan before, Sister Yanfei had the fortune to see a volcanic eruption; that scene was definitely not something an ordinary person could withstand.

Not to mention that there were at least twenty or thirty volcanoes here at a rough glance.

Almost the moment her voice fell, a dull, rumbling vibration came from inside the mountain range ahead.

PS: Resurrected! I'm in the mountain city, and several buildings in my residential area have been sealed due to the epidemic, so I can't run anymore. I was originally thinking of waiting for the new version to open, but then I got too into playing! I forgot about the book, emmmm... I don't know if it's too late to make up for it now, let me find my state first, and I'll finish this book later!
