Chapter 51: Vermilion Bird's Nest (3)
"Your Majesty, is the Vermilion Bird really inside?" Shen Jiayu swallowed hard, gazing at the scorching cave, a thread of fear creeping up from the bottom of her heart. Well aware of the Divine Domain's benevolent reputation, she deliberately put on a pitiful and timid appearance, standing beside the Holy Lord to curry favor.
The holy lord glanced at Shen Jiayu and nodded slightly.
"Zhu Que is inside, don't worry, Zhu Que is now in a state of dormancy and won't harm anyone."
After everyone made some preparations, they finally stepped into this pitch-black cave.
Eighteen divine envoys were divided into two groups, one group leading the way in front and the other following behind to prevent any unexpected events.
The divine messenger walking in the front, after entering the cave, immediately released the condensed light crystal in his hand. The condensed light crystal is a special item that can be used for lighting, and it only needs the magician to inject magic into the crystal, which can float in mid-air after being released, emitting a dazzling faint glow, serving as a torch for lighting.
Moving forward, a dozen or so glittering crystal formations illuminated the dark cave.
It was only then that people noticed on the walls of the cave, mottled and flickering with some dark red light, those slender red marks, like molten lava buried underground, shining with a strange glow, as if countless blood-red vines were climbing along the entire cave.
Shen Yan Xiao walked behind the crowd, her big eyes scanning over those eerie red marks. Faintly, she caught a whiff of an extremely thin, yet very strange smell.
It was a bit sweet, but also a bit fishy, this taste left her somewhat perplexed.
The pitch-black cave extends infinitely, and as time passes, when people look back towards the entrance of the cave, there is no longer any scenery to be seen, only the glow of crystalline water covering everything.
"How much longer do we have to walk? It's getting hotter and hotter here." Shen Jiawei was a bit scared, he closely followed Shen Jiayi, under the protection of the ice silkworm shell, he still felt that increasingly unbearable high temperature, beads of sweat seeped out on his forehead, and a layer of red flush appeared on his face.
Among these people, except for Shen Yanshao who cannot cultivate magic and aura, Shen Jiawei's strength is the lowest. Facing the high temperature generated by Zhuque, his strength is indeed somewhat difficult to bear.
"I don't know, it should be soon. You can hold on a bit longer." Shen Jiayu also had no idea what was going on in her mind, looking at her brother's flushed face, she suddenly became very curious about how that idiot would fare in such a scorching hot place.
Shen Jiayi turned her head and looked at Shen Yanshuo walking behind, thinking she would see a sweaty and exhausted face, but Shen Yanshuo seemed like nothing was wrong with him, not to mention being drenched in sweat, there wasn't even a single drop of sweat on that plain-looking little face.
It's strange that even she, who is about to break through the sixth rank, feels a bit hot here. How can that idiot not feel anything abnormal at all?
Magic and aura, the gap between pre-sixth rank and post-sixth rank is enormous. Shen Jiayu has already cultivated to the fifth rank, but she still can't fully withstand the high temperature here without crossing the sixth rank. Only Shen Yifeng, who has now become a three-star swordsman after successfully advancing to the rank above six, remains unaffected.
But what's going on with Shen Yanshuo? She was clearly someone who couldn't cultivate anything, so why did she seem even more at ease than her and Shen Jiawei?
