Chapter 1117: Crystal Cave and the Feeling of Flying
A wave of scorching heat hit his face, and fine beads of sweat appeared on Su Xiao's face. If Su Xiao was like this, Killua, who was being held by him, was even more like he had been washed by water.
Maha was no better, his old face full of sweat. What was somewhat unexpected was that Alluka, who had the weakest physique, had no reaction at all, not a single drop of sweat on his face. However, after entering Kukuroo Mountain, he began to doze off.
Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, sitting on Amu's head, was clearly heat-stunned. If cold climate unlocked Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's IQ, then heat was "sealing" it.
This guy sat paralyzed on Amu's head, tongue sticking out long, and rolling his eyes, looking like he was about to die.
The molten ash gradually filled the area above the magma lake. Sweat dripped from Su Xiao's chin, and the sweat evaporated with a sizzle as it fell onto the honeycomb rock beneath his feet.
Maha threw the metal tube into the magma lake for the eleventh time. This time, the metal tube didn't turn red.
"Almost there. Remember, the crystal layer is on the left rock wall, about 16 meters from your current position..."
As soon as Maha finished speaking, he leaped into the magma lake.
With a splash, Maha only sank half his body into the magma. Due to the significant drop in temperature, the magma had changed from liquid to semi-solid, like a swamp.
Black Nen wrapped Maha and Alluka, and the two gradually sank into the magma.
Su Xiao's vision, touch, and other senses all failed. Fortunately, he had Intuition ability.
The position where Su Xiao jumped was very close to the crystal layer Maha mentioned. Through Intuition ability detection, Maha was 2 meters away from Su Xiao, but due to the isolation of the semi-solid magma, he couldn't see
After doing all this, Su Xiao leaped into the magma pool without hesitation. Killua, in his hand, looked a bit blue in the face.
Was the little assassin brat Killua afraid? Not at all; the blue face was from being choked by the back of his neck by Su Xiao.
With a splash, Su Xiao's legs made contact with the magma first. A slight burning sensation appeared, similar to the feeling of soaking in a half-hot hot spring.
At this moment, the magma lake was no different from a swamp. Su Xiao gradually sank into it, and several low-intensity energy shields wrapped around the Killua in his hand.
Su Xiao had collected four Soul Crystals (Large), so he naturally wouldn't ignore Killua's life or death; this was the most basic credibility in a partnership.
Submerged in the magma pool, Su Xiao's vision, touch, and other senses all failed. Fortunately, he had the Intuition ability.
The spot where Su Xiao jumped in was very close to the crystal layer Maha had mentioned. Probing with his Intuition ability, Maha was just 2 meters away from Su Xiao, but due to the semi-solid magma blocking him, he couldn't see Maha.
An energy shield appeared under Su Xiao's feet. He immediately severed his connection to the energy shield, and after kicking off it with force, his body moved forward a large distance quickly.
Bang.
Su Xiao collided with something; this was the crystal layer Maha had spoken of.
At this moment, Su Xiao and Maha were at a depth of 8 meters in the magma lake. Two more meters down, the temperature of the magma would return to normal. Entering magma at normal temperature in this situation was definitely not a pleasant experience.
Going 8 meters deep into a magma lake—no matter how you look at it, this is a crazy act, but Su Xiao did it. If he didn't have this kind of boldness, he would never be as strong as he was today.
The interior of Kukuroo Mountain was definitely a wonder. Not to mention the terrifying molten ash at that temperature, even the magma that had dropped to 200°C without solidifying was an extremely rare sight.
A surge of Nen energy diffused from the low-temperature magma; it was Maha's black Nen, which was also a signal.
Su Xiao drew the Dragon Flash from his waist.
Clang, clang...
Blade flashes appeared in the low-temperature magma. After slashing a dozen times, Su Xiao sheathed his blade.
A magma flow appeared beside Su Xiao; it was Maha rushing toward the crystal layer.
With a crisp crack, Su Xiao's body moved forward uncontrollably. He exerted force with his feet and, with a splash, rushed out of the somewhat viscous magma.
Emerging from the magma, Su Xiao had no time to observe the surroundings, but instead quickly retracted the Boundary Line.
Sss~
The line wheel spun at high speed, and that light blue rectangular box appeared, with Amu and Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang squeezed inside.
Su Xiao removed the energy shield and simultaneously let go of the Killua in his hand.
"Huff, huff... I thought I was going to die from cerebral hypoxia."
"Run toward the depths."
As Maha roared, he was already holding Alluka and running quickly into the "cave."
Su Xiao also immediately rushed toward the depths of the "cave." Only then did he have time to examine the situation of this "cave." This was no cave at all, but a natural crystal cavern composed of fire-red crystals.
Through the fire-red crystals, Su Xiao could see the molten ash permeating behind the crystals. That was no ordinary molten ash, but molten ash filled with sparkling fire stars. Conservatively estimated, the temperature of this stuff was more terrifying than magma.
Crack, crack, crack...
As Su Xiao sprinted forward, slight cracking sounds came from all around. He looked up, and the light red crystal layer around him was gradually cracking. This was a chain reaction caused by Su Xiao and Maha breaking the crystal layer at the entrance.
If this crystal cavern completely shattered, the ultra-high-temperature molten ash would engulf them. Once that happened, everyone, including Su Xiao and Maha, would be dead for sure.
Crack!
A crisp sound came from behind. Su Xiao turned his head to look back; a large section of the crystal cavern behind them had shattered.
Seeing this scene, Su Xiao casually scooped up the running Killua—in that familiar position.
"Xiang Bubu, Amu, Chariot."
The muscles in Su Xiao's legs bulged slightly, and his forward sprinting speed suddenly increased.
Hearing the two keywords "Chariot," Xiang Bubu's dog body shrank instinctively.
"Woof, aww~, woof woof..."
Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was in a mess; the tactical combination he feared most was the "Chariot."
Su Xiao's words were the highest order for Amu, who immediately activated the Fearless Charge ability, and its speed also increased suddenly.
Amu reached out with its two rough hands and grabbed the running Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang.
"Aww!!"
Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang let out a "wail." Just as Amu was running, its arms suddenly thickened by a circle, and its veins bulged. It lifted Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang over its head and threw it forward with all its might.
Whoosh~
Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang flew forward like a missile, instantly surpassing Su Xiao and also passing Maha in front. Even with Maha's composure, he couldn't help but open his mouth slightly.
Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang rushed forward at high speed in the low air. The oncoming strong wind blew up its lips, making a "doo-doo-doo" sound, its drool spraying freely, and its two ears fluttering wildly.
Even more magically, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's tail, which was stretched straight, changed direction from time to time to adjust its flight angle. This was the feeling of flying.
At this moment, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was like a cannonball—no, it should be more like an arrow.
Su Xiao had no time to consider anything else now; his only thought was to rush forward.
Boom, boom, boom...
Accompanied by Amu's heavy footsteps, the crystal cavern behind it crumbled inch by inch. The molten ash carrying fire stars was only about five meters away from Amu.
After sprinting for a dozen seconds, a turn appeared ahead, and blinding red light shone from behind the turn.
After a collision, the Sky-Tearing Dog Arrow, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, landed.
Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was hit quite hard, but it had 218 experiences of hitting trees, so it was very good at avoiding damage caused by collisions.
