"I'm fine …" "It's fine."

Gong Jue patted his chest, trying to calm himself down quickly in this way. His eyes were already like that of a frightened deer, nervously staring at his surroundings, as if he would immediately take action if there was even the slightest bit of movement.

"Take your time to rest. We don't know what will happen next, but it seems like it won't be easy."

Before Qian Li had even finished speaking and before she had even given the two of them time to rest, the second round had already begun …

He saw that the temperature in the room where the two of them were just standing grew higher and higher.

Qian Li's eyes suddenly changed. She never would have thought that it would actually be this trial …

"Qian Li. Your expression tells me that this is even scarier... "

"Yes …"

"What is it …" For the sake of some sudden situation, the two of them quickly walked together as if this gave them a sense of security.

"The temperature here will continue to rise until we can't take it anymore, and then …" They had just opened their mouths to explain, but they were already sweating profusely.

The wound was drenched in sweat, it was so painful that Qian Li was about to kneel down.

She really wanted to rest, but because she knew she couldn't, she could only grit her teeth and endure.

"What else …"

"There's a river below, and when the temperature reaches a certain point, they'll … spit it out …"

"So what you're saying is, even if we use Lightness Exercise, it won't be of any use at all …"

"I think that's it …"

"Ah …"

The moment Qian Li had finished speaking, the space beneath her feet opened up once again. It was different from the last time, this time it seemed like a broken arm on a cliff. It was extremely neat, and the split place happened to be between the two of them. As a result, the two of them were forcibly separated by a two meter wide crack.

"Qian Li..."

Gong Jue reached out her hand, but the temperature at which it was broken was extremely high, and she simply could not pass it over. What was even more terrifying, was that right at this moment, the ground around them started to crack into pieces, Qian Li supported herself on the ground, she finally knew why there were so many people who did not leave any corpses behind, because no matter which checkpoint it was, as long as they died, they would immediately be replaced, just like a moment ago, when the dead were blown away by the wind, and when the dead were blown away, they became dust, so … The silt here will also get thicker as more people arrive …

So, in reality, perhaps those things weren't sand at all, but were originally … Countless corpses …

No one knew about this place now, but it did not mean that they were not at their most glorious times. Thus, as long as someone entered this place, they could effortlessly kill that person without even using a single soldier. Even people with exceptional martial arts skills might not be able to escape from these obstacles …

It seemed that he really needed to understand this place properly.

This place, the place that took so much effort to design so many checkpoints, it must be …

There must be a very big secret behind it.

"Ah!" Her Lightness Exercise was not good, and in this kind of extremely hot environment, she was actually unable to fly.

Although his hands and feet managed to avoid a few dangerous situations, he still …

He fell down …

"Qian Li." Gong Jue could no longer care about anything else, but Qian Li, who he thought was definitely going to die, actually hung on the stone wall.

The scorching heat would soon roast her, and some of her clothes were already burnt.

Not far from his feet, the lava was rising.

They were still bubbling, and he was frightened.

"Qian Li..."

Qian Li threw out his golden threads in the nick of time. Her claws were firmly nailed to the rock, but she knew that the thread was too thin. She wouldn't be able to hold on for long before her palm was completely cut open. Furthermore, the lava below her did not wait for anyone.

This time, he had been careless.

But regret was useless.

No matter what, if she were to die today, she would definitely not pull Gong Jue down along.

"Your Highness, on the right hand side, there is a hole about three meters away. Quickly go up, the magma is about to spurt out, perhaps it is not that high."

How could Gong Jue possibly ignore them? Although the two had not known each other for a long time, their experiences of being together might be more than ten, twenty years or even a lifetime away from knowing each other. After experiencing so much life and death, how could he leave Qian Li alone?

"Hold on, I'll come and save you."

"No."

The tip of her shoes was almost submerged, causing Qian Li to be unable to move.

"If you were to come, we would all die. Your Highness, Qian Li is just an insignificant person with a lowly status, she is not worth it."

Qian Li hated Gong Ye to death, but she knew how to differentiate between love and hate. She definitely wouldn't get involved with people who didn't have anything to do with her.

"Don't move, I'll be right over."

The searing heat continued to spread, causing Qian Li to be speechless. She couldn't seem to feel the pain in her palm anymore. Sweat continued to pour down, and it was so much so that her eyes were starting to blur.

Faintly sensing that Gong Jue seemed to be planning something, in the next moment, her body was already being carried by someone by the waist.

Gong Jue's Lightness Exercise seemed to have been unleashed to its limits, he flew towards the location Qian Li had pointed out, and just as the two of them were near the hole, the magma had already started erupting.

His body seemed to have hit a door, and the two of them immediately rolled over.

However, right at this moment, the magma completely erupted. Its height had completely surpassed the cave entrance where the two of them were hiding.

Luckily, they had slammed the door as they rolled in, and now that the door was closed, they had brushed past the danger.

Both of them felt a lingering fear as they landed heavily on the ground.

Beads of sweat dripped from their faces. Their faces were covered in filth.

Bedraggled …

It was even more miserable than when Qian Li was in the dungeon.

"Your feet …"

Gong Jue steadied his body and looked towards Qian Li. Only then did he realize that not only was his palm almost cut open, Qian Li's shoes were also burnt to ashes.

"It's nothing, I just burnt my shoes. My feet are fine."

The red clothes had completely changed. Fortunately, because of the mess, Gong Jue could not see the blood, red clothes, and dirt clearly, so he had temporarily forgotten about the wound on Qian Li's stomach.

Her head was spinning, Qian Li felt that if she did not go out, she would really bleed to death.

She shook it with all her might, but it did not make her more clear-headed.

If it wasn't...

She still had a huge grudge in her heart, so maybe she really did close her eyes and fell asleep right now.

"Your Highness's great kindness, Qian Li... "Unforgettable …"

Gong Jue waved his hand, "I didn't make you remember."

"It's just two levels, but it already took us most of our lives. Fortunately, we were lucky enough to find three levels. If there were nine …" "Then there is no chance of survival."

Qian Li nodded, "Right now, I can only hope that the third stage won't come so soon."

The two of them rested for a while on the spot, feeling as if their bodies had just fallen apart.

However, after waiting for a long time, he still could not find the third checkpoint …

"We... "Let's go out."

Qian Li nodded, and supported herself as they walked towards the door, and then, at the moment they opened the door …

A concealed weapon was thrown right at him …

The two managed to avoid the attack. Fortunately, it was not a hidden weapon this time. There were some hidden weapons when they entered the door, so they were gone.

However, their eyebrows didn't relax.

Instead …

The frown became even more serious …

Looking at the approaching Stone Golems, both of them knew that if they were to compare the previous two races to a race against time, then this time, they would have to use their physical strength to fight against the real hurdles …

"Qian Li. "Follow me closely. You're injured, so you don't have to move for this stage. I'll take you out."
