Chapter 1054: Chapter 664: Giant
As Liu Hun approached everyone, watching those giant pythons in the molten lava roar at them several times before quickly diving into the lava.
For a moment, the entire molten lava returned to calm.
Watching this scene, everyone looked somewhat stunned, staring at Liu Hun as if in disbelief.
“Liu… Brother Liu… How… how did you manage that?” Wu Dao asked Liu Hun, somewhat dumbfounded.
Upon hearing this, Liu Hun paused and glanced at everyone, then took a deep breath and smiled wryly, “This was entirely a matter of luck. I just forcibly tried to drop the power to my feet and then gathered it to erupt at the moment of contact with the molten lava, which is what you all saw.”
“Gathering Power Explosion!” The Clan Leader exclaimed involuntarily after hearing Liu Hun’s words.
“Is that what it’s called, Gathering Power Explosion?” Wu Dao looked at the Clan Leader with some doubt.
“Yes, this requires years of rigorous training and might not even succeed. After all, this method is easier to apply to solids, but since lava is also a liquid, wanting to gather all the power in such a situation and then instantly explode is something extraordinary people can’t achieve. If one practices diligently, it’s not impossible to achieve something like wall-climbing seen on TV; even in combat, it’s very useful. The power that erupts is several times the usual strength.” The Clan Leader explained seriously after a deep breath.
Although the words seemed to be an explanation for Wu Dao, Liu Hun clearly knew that the Clan Leader was speaking directly to him.
“Thank you; can everyone still move forward now? Although I’ve already obtained the Xuan Fire, since you helped me, I will also try to help you seize Chi You’s weapon.” Liu Hun calmly replied to the Clan Leader.
“Yes.” The Clan Leader answered Liu Hun without much thought.
“If that’s the case, then let’s continue, although those cyborgs are probably useless now. If they come over, they will surely be swallowed by those Molten Lava Giant Pythons in an instant. Therefore, we can only rely on ourselves for what’s next.” Liu Hun looked at the two cyborgs opposite and said solemnly to everyone.
“No problem, this time we’ll lead the way, you can rest at the back for a while.” The Clan Leader nodded and answered Liu Hun directly.
Liu Hun did not refuse; after all, he already owed a favor to the Ghost Doctor Clan, so there was no need to decline too much.
As the Ghost Doctor Clan continued moving forward, the corner of Liu Hun’s eye caught sight of an eager-looking Old Bai, and he couldn’t help but smile. Then, Liu Hun took out a piece of Nine Nether Cold Ice from his palm and handed it to Old Bai, “This is the Nine Nether Cold Ice your daughter needs. With this, her life is no longer in great danger.”
“Thank you, Mr. Liu, after we get out this time, my life will belong to Mr. Liu!” Upon seeing the Nine Nether Cold Ice in Liu Hun’s hand, Old Bai’s face immediately showed gratitude and excitement.
The danger just now was clear to Old Bai who was present, even at that time, Liu Hun didn’t give up helping him seize the Nine Nether Cold Ice. This kind of friendship is not something anyone could do.
Although Old Bai knew Liu Hun wanted him, still, in such a situation, it’s unlikely anyone else could do what Liu Hun did.
“I say Brother Liu, you mentioned the main reason for coming here was for that Nine Nether Cold Ice, could it be you took such great risks just to treat Old Bai’s daughter?” Hearing the conversation between the two, Wu Dao beside Liu Hun widened his eyes in disbelief and asked.
“What else do you think? I just didn’t expect the Xuan Fire to accidentally end up in my hands this time.” Liu Hun nodded and did not deny it.
“I wonder what you’re after, merely to save others, you nearly risked your life several times. If you really want help, I could find you some experts instead of risking your life.” Wu Dao pursed his lips and said softly to Liu Hun.
“It’s different; although I indeed value Old Bai’s ability, this is a good thing for whoever it benefits. Moreover, as a doctor, you must have medical ethics, which is what the old man taught me: if you can save a life, you absolutely won’t hesitate. Although I, Liu Hun, can be selfish, I won’t refuse what I can do.” Liu Hun smiled slightly and slowly explained to Wu Dao.
Then, he continued to walk forward. Although he had just been struck by one of the giant pythons, he knew he would recover after some time, so he wasn’t too worried.
At this time, the remaining survivors were all following Qin Tao towards the front, aiming to seize Chi You’s weapon.
Whether it was the Ghost Doctor Clan, Wu Dao, or Old Bai, none of them wanted Chi You’s weapon to fall into Qin Tao’s hands. After all, there was already a conflict between the two parties.
As a result, everyone couldn’t help but quicken their pace.
Fortunately, there was no danger along the way.
After about an hour, Liu Hun and the others arrived in a vast space. In this area, there was an iron wall all around, and above, beams of light shone down, making the entire space extremely bright.
However, no one knew where this light originated from, or if the top of the space was open.
“Qin Tao!” Seeing Qin Tao in the scene, Wu Dao’s face showed signs of anger once more and shouted loudly at Qin Tao.
Standing in front of a coffin, Qin Tao, upon hearing Wu Dao’s words, immediately turned around, his eyes flickering with a ghastly red as he stared coldly at Wu Dao and said, “You finally came. I’ve been waiting here for a long time!”
“Since you want to die so badly, I’ll grant your wish today, Wu Dao. It’s the perfect time to settle both old and new scores!” Upon hearing Qin Tao’s words, Wu Dao’s eyes instantly showed a hint of disdain.
Just as he finished speaking, Wu Dao wanted to rush toward Qin Tao. However, at that moment, Liu Hun grabbed him, with a somewhat solemn expression, and murmured, “Something’s off about them, don’t rush!”
“What’s off? If it weren’t for that bastard, you wouldn’t have been in such a crisis before, and we wouldn’t have ended up like this. Moreover, a few of that old man’s subordinates died because of it!” Wu Dao, held back by Liu Hun, although not moving forward any longer, still explained to Liu Hun with annoyance.
“That’s not what I’m talking about. Look closely at their eyes, other than Qin Tao, all the others are like this. And they’ve been here for a long time before us. The surroundings are empty. If Chi You’s weapon is in this coffin, why haven’t they opened it yet? Instead, they’re all waiting here for us?” Liu Hun paused slightly as he spoke.
Then, he glanced around, continuing to speak to Wu Dao, “Look carefully, even though we don’t know where the light above comes from, it still doesn’t illuminate the entire space. In the corners, there are still white things. If I’m not mistaken, those white things should all be bones!”
After Liu Hun finished speaking, a cold light flashed deep in his eyes. He raised his vigilance secretly. This place made him feel uneasy, but he couldn’t tell where this unease was coming from.
But having gone through so many dangers up to this point, Liu Hun had to proceed with caution. Moreover, as long as they could ultimately seize Chi You’s weapon, it would be fine. As for the timing, everyone was in no hurry.
“How could they suddenly become like this?” Wu Dao widened his eyes in disbelief and asked Liu Hun. After Liu Hun’s explanation, Wu Dao also gradually noticed the unusualness of Qin Tao and the others.
“I don’t know either, but they must be influenced by something; otherwise, they wouldn’t be like this.” Liu Hun frowned deeply, shook his head, and slowly said.
“Kill!” As the two talked, Qin Tao gripped the weapon tightly and spoke coldly to Liu Hun and Wu Dao.
As soon as his words fell, everyone around Qin Tao rushed toward Liu Hun and Wu Dao. Just as the two hesitated whether they should retreat momentarily, a fierce wind suddenly came from behind.
The next moment, Liu Hun and Wu Dao staggered forward, feeling a burning pain on their backs. Both of them instinctively looked back at the crowd.
Originally following them in, Old Bai, the Clan Leader, and the Poison Queen all had eyes that had turned completely red, their entire bodies filled with monstrous killing intent, as if they wouldn’t stop until the two were killed.
The deep wounds on their backs, enough to see the bone, were from the attacks of several people. Wu Dao was somewhat better, with only one or two wounds on his back, but Liu Hun was in worse condition.
In Old Bai’s hands, from who knows where he grabbed a long sword and thrust it into Liu Hun’s body. It was only halfway in when the Poison Queen whipped him away from Old Bai’s sword.
Otherwise, Liu Hun might have become a skewered candied fruit by now.
“How… could this happen…” Wu Dao endured the pain on his back, his face somewhat pale, and looked at the people around him, his eyes filled with shock.
