Trembling, he walked to the already connected stone slab.

I calmed down and took a deep breath. In the end, I took a step forward and followed the stone slab deeper into the secret cave.

The space beside the door was scorched and distorted by the heat.

I sighed. The difficulty of this express delivery had exceeded my expectations.

If the path in front of him was already so difficult, then the innermost layer was unimaginable.

I moved my foot forward a little, but just as I touched the hot, twisted space, the tip of my shoe began to emit green smoke, and I quickly pulled my foot back.

How was he going to get there? It had only been an instant, but it was already this hot. If he ran over with his head full of dust, wouldn't he melt it? My flesh is not as hot as these shoes.

He stood rooted to the spot, at a loss of what to do.

This was no longer something that could be done just by thinking of a way out.

"Gulp."

Just as I was sighing bitterly, the sea of fire beside the flagstones suddenly began to churn.

The blisters continuously popped up with a "crackling" sound.

I turned my head to look, only to see that when the burning bubble burst, a dozen or so red shadows jumped out and landed on the stone slab.

He quickly turned around and saw that these red shadows were little red scorpions waving their tails.

They shook off the burning sap on their bodies.

My heart tightened, and my feet unconsciously tensed up.

As I expected.

These ten or so little red scorpions only took a split-second to organize themselves before charging towards me with their tails wagging.

People said that scorpions' most poisonous area was their stinger. In the mortal world, scorpions already possessed a deadly poison, let alone these rare species.

I mustered 120% of my strength, took a few steps, and used the "Hengping" footwork. Then, he gathered his inner strength between his palms and dodged to the left and right, continuously moving around the ten Flame Scorpions. From time to time, he also made a few palm strikes, which were quite effective.

A few rounds of confrontation had already passed.

My "hollowed-out palm" actually hit a few Scorpions.

But all they did was roll over and get up again and attack me.

Could it be that my palm attack has no effect on them?

At such a critical juncture, I didn't have time to think about it.

Both of his palms moved in quick succession, looking rather vigorous and vigorous.

This time, I didn't scatter my palm wind and struck both of my palms towards the same Flame Scorpion.

"Crack."

A loud explosion resounded.

The first palm lifted up the scorpion, and before it could hit the ground, the second arrived.

The carapace all over its body suddenly burst open, revealing the tender red flesh within. He tumbled to the ground, struggled for a while, and then stopped moving.

I was overjoyed, knowing what I should do.

It turns out that it's not that "hollowed-out palm" is useless against them, but that my palm wind attack wasn't strong enough to deal with them with a single palm strike.

With the results, my confidence rose again.

His footwork became more proficient, and the wind from his punches became stronger.

The ten Flame Scorpions quickly lost their lives under my attacks.

And with the help of the "Hengping", I wasn't harmed in the slightest.

The danger was over. I stopped, bent over, and breathed heavily.

Although he was sweating profusely, it was usually only a few breaths' time before the heat from the hole had already evaporated.

However, killing these Flame Scorpions has no other use than to save my life.

I still couldn't even take half a step towards the stone door. I could only stare blankly at the red and tender scorpions.

His phone vibrated and the Boss sent another message.

He said, "What are you waiting for? You forgot the map? "

Startled, I took a few steps forward and looked around me, surprised.

He didn't see the slightest trace of anyone else as he sent a message over.

I said, "Boss, are you looking at me? "How did you know I was in a daze?"

He said, "Have you forgotten who I am? I am a god, how can your every move be hidden from me? "

That's true. Thinking of this, I didn't make such a big fuss about it anymore.

Following what the leader said, he took out the map of the Vermillion Bird's Secret Cave from his ring and looked through it.

In the opposite corner of the map, I saw an introduction to the stone door and how to approach and open it.

It was over two Zhang tall and four feet wide. It was entirely crimson, and was made from "Blazing Stone". It was able to automatically attract the fiery aura around it, allowing it to converge into a single spot.

Legend has it that this "Flame Drawing Stone" was created from the Divine Inflammation spat out by the Vermillion Bird. It was the supreme being of all flames, and was thus able to attract tens of thousands of flames to gather and worship it.

There was also a method to temporarily immunize the Divine Inflammation.

In the cave, there was an object that was hidden in the flame pond all year round. Its name was' Flaming Scorpion '. After the death of the scorpion, the carapace's carapace completely faded, and the poison from the stinger did not survive. If one wanted to get close to the 'Flame Drawing Stone', one had to break its tail and place it in their mouth to achieve a short 'Flame Manipulation'.

The effect of 'controlling flames' was only effective once on the same person. The person who entered the cave had to be extremely careful not to neglect it.

After reading this passage on the map, I felt both happy and worried.

He was overjoyed that he was finally able to get close to the 'Blazing Stone Door' in front of him.

And the worry was, how was he going to get out later? After all, each person only had one 'Flame Manipulation' effect, and it could not be repeated.

While I was brooding, the Boss sent another message.

He said, "How can you be so conflicted about this? Your sagebrush was forgotten by you just like that? "

His words were like a reminder to someone from their dreams.

I was defeated by my own stupidity.

He shook his head in embarrassment and walked in front of the 'Flame Manticore'.

Squatting down, he reached out and broke its tail, which no longer had the protection of its carapace.

Resisting the pungent smell, he took the tail into his mouth.

Other than the peculiar sensation in his mouth, his body had no other reaction.

I tried to take a few steps toward the Blazing Stone Door and came to the place where I had almost burnt the toes of my shoes.

Although his body was still extremely hot, it was already much better than before. It seemed like the tail had taken effect.

Relieved, I took a big step.

Soon, they arrived in front of the stone door.

I didn't pay much attention to the image of the Divine Bird on the door. Instead, I shifted my gaze to a stone platform in the middle of the stone door.

In the stone tray were about a dozen small stones, standing horizontally and vertically.

The stone in the innermost corner was the largest, and there was a "Cao" carved on the upper edge.

I took a closer look. Out of a dozen or so small stones, five were arranged horizontally, five vertically, and a few were single and the smallest.

Was this … was this a 'magnificent' Dao?

No, "Hua Rong Dao" was not that complicated.

I kept looking around, my heart full of suspicion, but I didn't dare to take any action, fearing that I would be killed if I took a wrong step.

The stone platform in front of me has already learned from my mistakes. I absolutely cannot repeat the same mistake again.

Eh, that's right!

Don't I have a map? Why are you foolishly staring at the stone platform?

Chuckling helplessly, he took a small step back, took out the map, and started reading.

There was a stone mechanism on the 'Blazing Stone Door'. Its name was' Red Wall Battle '. The biggest rock is "Wei Wu Emperor" Cao Cao.

The five horizontal blocks are: Huang Gongguang Huang, Gan Ning Gangba, Ling Tong Ling Gonggong, Cheng Pu Cheng De mou, Han Dang Yi Gonggong.

Longitudinal stones are also the generals of the Wu Army: Zhou Yu Zhou Gongjin, Lu Xun and Lu Boyan, Zhou Tai Zhou and Xiao Ping, Jiang Qin and Jiang Gongyi, Xu Sheng and Xu Wenjiang.

The smallest of the remaining few were the soldiers of the Wu Army.

The method to crack the mechanism was very simple. It was to move the stone representing 'Wei Wu Emperor' Cao Cao to the exit.

Seeing this, I finally understood.

This was just an enlarged version of the "Grand Dao".

It wasn't that simple, but at least I understood the rules.

I took a deep breath and put the map back in the ring.

He took a step forward and looked at the 'battle on the Red Wall'.

Before he could place his hand on it, he felt a slight tremble from the stone door.

After the trembling stopped, a row of small protruding words appeared beside the "Battle of Red Wall".

Inscriptions on top: This battle is limited to three steps, if you do not clear the level after these three steps, the Divine Inflammation will devour you, and the skeleton of the challenger will be gone.

What the hell? Only three steps?

I jerked my hand back, eyes wide, and shook my head.

It was impossible to pass the third step of the level even with the "elegant Daoist"! This "Red Wall Battle" was even harder than "Hua Rong Dao". How could it be possible to use only three steps?

Cold sweat rolled down his forehead.

Thinking about the consequences of "not leaving any remains", a sudden thought of retreat popped into my mind.

Just as my thoughts wandered, my cell phone vibrated again.

I took out my phone. It was Lao Wei.

He pressed the connect button.

Lao Wei's voice came out from the other side.

He said, "Old Xiao, where are you now? Did you go into the cave? "

I glanced at Red Wall Battle and swallowed my saliva. "Yes, I'm already at the edge of the cave."

He said, "Alright, I'll come with Miss Ji immediately. You stay here."

I was shocked and said, "Miss Ji is here? How did she get here? "

He softly exclaimed, obviously lowering his voice, and said: "Can Miss Ji use common sense to deduce how they do things? She has never played her cards according to common sense. "

"I told her what you told me when I went back, but she immediately saw through my lie. You know, none of us are afraid of the Miss Ji in our group, so I just said it all out. "

Suddenly, a light flashed in my head. I glanced at the Red Wall battle and said, "What did you just say? What happened to Miss Ji? "

He said, "I say, when Miss Ji does things, they never play cards according to common sense. We naturally cannot use common sense to deduce."

That's right!

Maybe I found a way to crack this mechanism.
