There were four Gold rank experts who entered the passageway. They were Elder Lu of the Su Family, Ma Chengshan of the Ma Family, Liu Xiuxin of the Liu Family, and Qian Family's money. They were the oldest of the Lu Family, with a beard that was already half white.
Ma Chenshan was a middle-aged man with a faintly discernible aura. From his outer appearance, it was impossible to tell that he was a Golden Master. However, his eyes occasionally flashed with a glimmer of light that sent chills down one's spine.
Liu Xiuxin was of medium height. His fists were especially thick, which didn't fit his body well. Everyone else was fully equipped here except for him, who was wearing a coarse hemp cloth. His feet were actually stepping on a pair of straw sandals.
"Boom ~ ~ ~"
The lava gushed over and immediately inundated the Deer Elder. Without the slightest hesitation, he dashed through the tunnel. Qian Yu was the last one to go out. He changed his direction and became the first one to rush out of the tunnel. As soon as he came out, he heard someone speaking, his voice panicked and anxious.
"What happened?"
"Don't ask too much, hurry up and leave." He was a member of the Qian Family, but if he was in danger, his first thought would be to protect himself. Before the others could react, Liu Xiuxin and Ma Chenshan also rushed out one after the other. They were expressionless, but familiar with the two of them, Liu Jiaxing and Ma Xiaosheng could clearly see the anxiety in their eyes.
"Don't ask too many questions, leave first." Liu Xiu ordered. He gave Liu Xing a look and then floated in the direction of Qian Liuyu.
How could the crowd not know what was going on? Although they did not know what was going on, it was not a good thing after all. At this moment, everyone heard the roar of the tide, followed by a dazzling red light. A terrifying wave of heat hit him. In the blink of an eye, everyone was dumbstruck as they saw lava gush in like a dam burst.
"Mother!"
Even if the lowest ranked person in the cave was a Silver rank, at this moment, his legs were weak from fear as he rushed towards the exit like a swarm of bees. Inside the cave, the passages led in all directions, but everyone knew which passage, no one knew which one, whether it was the exit or not, no one knew, so when they thought of escaping, they immediately rushed towards the tunnel, which was so narrow and filled with so many bees, immediately blocking the way.
The mournful screams stopped abruptly. Everyone turned their heads, just in time to see a player being doused in lava behind them. His body instantly ignited into a ball of flame, and whatever equipment or talisman were useless in front of this kind of temperature, they were all turned into ashes. Within a few seconds, a living person had turned into a pile of bones, and the bones did not even exist for a long time before they melted and disappeared.
Everyone felt their throats go dry as the fear in their hearts grew to the extreme. Only then did they realize that the matter was too simple. Before dealing with the lizard, they had to settle the magma first. The lava's speed was too fast, and at this rate, the crowd would be submerged in the lava before they had time to leave. Ma Chenshan turned around and looked at the lava, his eyes flashing with determination as he shouted, "Shield!"
The terrain was rather high, so the lava wouldn't be able to threaten him in a short time. Even though he didn't know what Ma Xiaoshan was shouting about, he still threw out a shield at the first moment he heard him.
The shield was shining with a silver light. It usually gave off a frivolous feeling, but this shield gave off a heavy and solemn feeling. It was obviously a silver weapon.
As expected of the Ma Clan, they would be considered a Silver grade weapon.
Ma Chenshan did not turn back as his shield seemed to be pulled by some invisible force as it flew over. Ma Chenshan's entire body released a dazzling green light, and with a push of his hands, the power exploded out, causing the shield to block the exit of the magma. The lava broke and poured down causing everyone to let out a cheer, as if they felt the temperature had dropped by a lot, their gazes were filled with gratitude towards Ma Chenshan. However, their joy only lasted for a few seconds before they saw the silver shield emit sizzling sounds. In the blink of an eye, the silver shield turned red, and Ma Chenshan looked nervous. His hands did not touch the shield, as it was about fifty centimeters away from it.
"Get out of the way!" Ma Chenshan shouted anxiously as a trace of sweat ran down his forehead. His body turned into a shadow as he rushed towards a fork in the road. Just as he retracted his power, the condensed lava shot out like a high-pressure water gun, bringing with it an endless amount of pressure, shooting towards the entire cave. The silver shield had already turned into molten iron.
"Ahh!"
Miserable screams rang out. The Silver ranked players who had been waiting for Ma Chenshan to unleash his divine might to return to the lava did not expect the situation to be reversed so quickly. Seven or eight people were hit by the lava, and their bodies instantly ignited into flames.
Qian Haoshen's heart tightened. Out of the seven or eight people who had died, more than half of them were his subordinates. He glanced at Ma Chenshan's back. For some reason, he felt that something was not right.
Due to the chaos and pressure, three more people were exposed to the magma. Two of them were burned to death, one was seriously injured, and a large portion of their bodies were charred black. At this moment, the most violent wave of magma had passed, and the speed gradually slowed down. The entire cave was filled with red magma, and it was almost as deep as the sole of one's foot.
Looking carefully, they saw that a whirlpool had appeared on the ground, and all the lava was flowing along the whirlpool. It was probably an underground passage that had been frozen by the lava and the entrance was not discovered. At this moment, the lava had melted and revealed itself again.
After the danger was gone, everyone walked out of the path. Looking at the dark red magma, their eyes were filled with fear. No matter how powerful someone was, falling into the magma would only mean death.
"Who saw Elder Lu?" Su Hai Li suddenly said. As he looked around, his face was very ugly. The crowd was taken aback. It was only now that they recalled that they had not seen Elder Lu at all. The chaos earlier had been undetectable, but now that things had calmed down, they immediately recalled that there were only three Gold rank experts who had returned.
"Senior Ma, Elder Lu is in front of you, I wonder if —" Su Hai stared at Ma Chenshan, feeling that this person was somehow related to him. He was well aware of Old Man Lu's strength. No matter how fast the lava was, it wouldn't give him no chance to escape. Even if things happened suddenly, there would still be a few words left behind. However, when they thought back to what had happened, Elder Lu had disappeared without a trace, leaving nothing behind. It was extremely strange.
"Elder Lu is too fast, I wasn't able to keep up. I presume …" Ma Chenshan's expression was dejected, but there was a trace of self-blame on his face. "If I had known earlier, I would have warned him."
Su Hai's face twitched. Ma Chenshan's expression was very natural, but the doubt in his heart was growing. Ma Chenshan was a Gold rank expert, a Gold rank expert was a proud man, how could he blame himself? Ma Chenshan felt guilty. But so what if he suspected? Even if he had the evidence, he didn't dare to say anything. A Golden Master was more than enough to kill everyone here.
"Not good — —" The faces of the three Gold rank experts changed at the same time, and the roar sounded again. They were very familiar with this sound. It was the sound of flowing lava colliding in the narrow passageway, creating a terrifying tide of noise.
"Boom ~ ~ ~"
This time, the momentum was even more ferocious, the entire cave was trembling slightly, the earth was shaking, and there was a feeling of an earthquake. Everyone was pale, and they tightly held onto the rock wall, not daring to let go.
"Everyone be careful, the lizard might be coming out." A light flashed in Liu Xiuxin's eyes as he suddenly spoke. When everyone heard this, they were shocked. Their expressions were all different.
