Chapter 75: Boiling Pool

During the journey, although one or two enlarged flame-devouring beasts flew out from the flame swamp from time to time to attack Bu Gong and the others, they were all killed by his incomplete spiritual weapon, the Five-Colored Poison Blade, and no accidents occurred that were beyond Bu Gong’s control.The large group of fire-devouring beasts that he was worried about never appeared, which made him secretly relieved.However, although there were no unexpected situations, there were a few times along the way that made Bu Gong sweat.Because the location of the magma had been detected in advance, some places were not entirely safe; sometimes he would miss a step, but he still managed to deal with that situation with all his strength.However, although he managed to get through it safely several times, he still felt a lingering fear.Bu Gong and Xiang Ling’er had been walking in this magma swamp for three or four hours. During this period, they had rested several times. It was not for any other reason but because Bu Gong needed to use his magic power from time to time to detect the dangers ahead, which consumed a lot of his energy.”Huh?” Just when Bu Gong had crossed a distance and landed on a relatively thick brown tree trunk in front of him, he suddenly let out a surprised cry.At this time, Bu Gong’s body was tightly attached to the middle of the dark brown tree trunk, but his eyes were fixed on the front, as if something not far ahead was attracting him.Xiang Ling’er, who was standing behind him, also noticed Bu Gong’s unusual behavior at this moment. She then became curious and looked forward following Bu Gong’s gaze.”It seems like there is nothing here. I wonder what Senior Brother Bu Gong has discovered?” He muttered to himself, and then asked, “Senior Brother Bu Gong, what’s wrong? Is there anything ahead?”Bu Gong was also brought back to his senses by Xiang Ling’er’s clear voice at this time; he pursed his lips, his eyes slightly fixed, still staring at the front, and said softly: “We seem to have reached the center of the Flame Swamp, and a deep pool of boiling water has appeared in front of us.””Are we at the end of the swamp?” Upon hearing this, Xiang Ling’er’s pretty face instantly showed a hint of joy, and her tone was inevitably a little excited.”That should be it. If nothing unexpected happens, the deep pool in front should be the central area of ​​this red flame land.”Upon hearing this, Xiang Ling’er’s beautiful eyes flickered slightly and she said, “According to Senior Brother Bu Gong, will there be any danger ahead?”A trace of contemplation flashed across Bu Gong’s eyes, and he said in a slightly depressed tone, “It’s hard to say, let’s wait and see. Haven’t you noticed that the number of Flame Devouring Beasts we’ve encountered has been decreasing over time?Moreover, the strength of those flame-devouring beasts seems to have become stronger along the way; the strangest thing is that we haven’t encountered a single flame-devouring beast since half an hour ago.”As Bu Gong finished speaking, a solemn look appeared in Xiang Ling’er’s beautiful eyes; in fact, she was also a little puzzled about this, because the past half hour had been even more “quiet” than before.But this thought only flashed through her mind, and she didn’t take it too seriously; but now after hearing Bu Gong say this, she felt a little weird.Xiang Ling’er tiptoed and floated to the tree where Bu Gong was located, looking forward.Sure enough, a deep pool of boiling water suddenly appeared in the dark brown woods hundreds of feet ahead; the deep pool was three or four feet in radius, and its surroundings were still the slowly wriggling flame swamp.But the strange thing is that the swamps at the edge did not slide into the deep pool at all; it was as if there was an invisible force around the edge of the deep pool, blocking the magma, which was very weird.”Let’s restrain our breath and get closer to see; remember, don’t make too big a ripple.” Bu Gong whispered the instruction, and a purple light flashed from his fingers, shooting into the bubbling magma swamp in front of him; then he flew forward lightly like a smart ape.Seeing this, Xiang Ling’er followed closely behind and quietly followed.moment:The two men stopped on a dark brown tree dozens of feet in front of the boiling pool; their figures were hidden among the leaves and branches, and their eyes were fixed on the pool in front of them and its surroundings.Bu Gong and the other man lowered their breathing to an extremely subtle level, fearing that even a trace of their breath would escape.”Boy, I’m sure there is something under the pool in front.” At this time, the evil spirit in Bu Gong’s mind also reminded him.”Oh? Could it be that the strange fluctuation that you sensed outside the Magma Swamp earlier came from this deep pool of boiling water?” Bu Gong’s eyes lit up slightly, and he looked at the strange deep pool of boiling water in front of him with curiosity.”Well, now I can be sure that the strange fluctuations come from the boiling pool in front; however, you’d better be careful, it may not be as quiet as it seems on the surface.”Upon hearing this, Bu Gong’s eyes became more serious.About half an hour:”Brother Bu Gong, it’s not a good idea for us to keep waiting like this. If there’s no movement, are we just going to stay here forever?” At this time, Xiang Ling’er’s red lips beside Bu Gong moved slightly, and a subtle voice reached Bu Gong’s ears.Bu Gong also somewhat agreed with this; then he narrowed his eyes, pondered for a moment, and then whispered: “You stay here and don’t move. I’ll go out and check the situation now; if anything unexpected happens later, you can also meet me here.”After hearing Bu Gong’s words, a hint of hesitation flashed across Xiang Ling’er’s pretty face, and then she pursed her red lips and nodded.At this time, purple rays shot out from Bu Gong’s fingertips, and then his whole body quickly rushed out, approaching the boiling water pool quickly.Xiang Ling’er, who was lying among the branches and leaves of the tree behind him, was also concentrating her attention at this moment; she held tightly in her jade hand a talisman that emitted a hint of coldness, and stared at Bu Gong’s rapidly moving figure in the flames without blinking, ready to strike at any time.He activated the magic power in his body and tried his best to focus his mind to carefully sense his surroundings; Bu Gong moved swiftly and agilely through the swamp, quickly approaching the boiling pool in front of him.When he reached a distance of more than ten feet from the deep pool, his body suddenly froze; then his pupils shrank instantly, electric arcs flashed on his entire body, and he looked solemnly at the boiling pool in front of him, as if facing a great enemy.”Splash… Gulp…”As the sound of the water rolling violently rang out, the originally boiling water in the deep pool suddenly became agitated; it looked as if there was a huge monster inside that was about to emerge from the water.”Chichi… roar…”A strange, shrill roar suddenly sounded, and the water in the deep pool of boiling water began to spin rapidly, gradually forming a boiling water whirlpool. Then a huge beast shadow slowly emerged from the pool and then rose into the air.What followed was a huge momentum that slowly spread out, causing Xiang Ling’er, who was dozens of feet away, to look sideways.Bu Gong looked at the huge beast shadow in the air in front of him with shock, and felt his mouth a little dry for a moment; his throat rolled slightly, and he licked his slightly dry lips, and his face turned dark in an instant.”What the hell, there’s actually a flame-devouring beast this big? Is this a flame-devouring beast?”Although Bu Gong felt it was extremely absurd, seeing was believing; the huge monster in front of him, as big as a house, was indeed the same as the Flame-Swallowing Beast he had encountered before.Moreover, from Bu Gong’s perception, the huge flame-devouring beast that suddenly appeared in front of him was definitely at the same level as him; it was even slightly higher than him.”Old man, are you fucking kidding me? Don’t tell me that you didn’t sense such a monster in the deep pool.” At this time, Bu Gong was already cursing the evil spirit in his mind in his heart, and looked at the other party with a very unfriendly look.But in response to this, the evil spirit spread his hands casually, looking indifferent, which made Bu Gong very angry.”How can you become a strong man without experiencing some dangers? If you can’t even deal with the danger in front of you, then you’d better stop practicing as soon as possible; by the way, I won’t help you break through the body-shaping stage.” The evil spirit rolled his eyes and looked at Bu Gong with sarcasm, as if he did this all for Bu Gong’s sake.The corner of Bu Gong’s mouth twitched slightly, and without wasting any words, he quickly withdrew his mind and concentrated his attention, confronting the huge flame-devouring beast in the air.In this critical situation, if he still continues to argue and waste time with the evil spirit, then there must be something wrong with his brain.
