Chapter 201 The Treachery of Human Hearts
Zhuo Yang rushed into the sea of lava first and left, with Xie Chuan following closely behind. However, because the rocks suddenly sank into the lava, he had to return to the platform at the entrance of the tomb passage.
In comparison, Xie Chuan is far inferior to Zhuo Yang and Yang Lingfeng in terms of courage, insight, and ability to seize opportunities.
Xie Chuan was embarrassed, but fortunately no one cared about the problem; everyone was just looking at the lava sea and swallowing their saliva.
"Going in is a matter of life and death, damn it!" a cultivator cursed, turning to return to the tomb passage.
At this moment, the cultivator who had left earlier rushed back in a panic, and the two almost bumped into each other.
"Why are you running?"
"If I don't run... I'll die!"
"what?"
"Quick, get out of here! Inside the tomb passage... inside the tomb passage..."
Everyone was terrified and watched the cultivator nervously.
"Lava is gushing out from the entrance to the tomb passage!" the terrified cultivator finally shouted.
Everyone was startled. Xie Chuan was the first to rush into the tomb passage to check. He returned in just a few breaths, his face pale and his beard trembling.
"Master Xie, what's going on?" Wang Shanlong stepped out of the crowd, his expression still calm.
“There is indeed lava gushing out of the tomb passage, and it’s very fast. I estimate it will be gushing out of the tomb passage in half an hour at most!” Xie Chuan gritted his teeth and said before walking to the edge of the platform and staring at the sea of lava.
A sea of lava blocks our way in front, and magma is rolling in from behind. Is this going to kill us?
The faces of the dozens of cultivators all turned grim.
"There's no time. You two, follow me!" Lu Qianqian whispered, then leaped onto the lava sea.
Chen Guo followed closely behind, and finally Cui Yi, who had a solemn expression.
Without hesitation, the three of them rose and fell on the giant rocks, and soon plunged into the depths of the lava sea, disappearing without a trace.
"It seems so easy!" Xie Chuan's face darkened. The easier it was for others, the more incompetent he appeared.
Seeing this, the others also felt it wasn't that difficult, so two more cultivators leaped into the air and jumped towards the two rocks in the lava sea.
A person landed easily on the charred rock, and then used the momentum to jump to another rock in the distance.
Another monk landed on the rock, but before he could gain any leverage, the rock quickly sank into the lava.
The cultivator was terrified and used all his strength to jump towards another rock, but he missed and fell headfirst into the sea of lava after jumping only four or five meters. He was swallowed by the lava before he could even scream.
"We have nowhere to retreat. If you want to live, charge forward!" Wang Shanlong roared, gritted his teeth, and leaped into the air. His landing point was the Heartbeat Stage cultivator who had successfully jumped a second time.
The two Wang family cultivators nodded to each other and followed closely behind.
Some succeed and some fail, but everyone is smart. Those in front are just paving the way, and everyone else should just follow!
The game "Jump Jump" has begun, and cultivators are leaping across the lava sea...
The cultivator at the very front, in the Heartbeat stage, was quite clever. He tried to choose routes that Cui Yi had skipped, unless he was too weak to jump over them. In this way, he actually advanced four or five hundred meters.
He jumped onto a giant rock platform that protruded from the lava seven or eight meters high and six or seven meters in diameter. The monk stopped to catch his breath and looked back. He saw that more than a dozen people were walking on the spot he had jumped over.
"Trying to use me as a scout? Dream on!" The cultivator sneered a few times and leaped toward the nearest boulder.
Without his feet touching the ground, he twisted his body and flew towards another rock.
Wang Shanlong followed, landing on the platform, his brows furrowed and a disdainful sneer on his face.
"Young Master, would you like to rest for a while?"
Two experts from the Wang family caught up, and one of them asked in a low voice.
Wang Shanlong chuckled sinisterly and said, "That kid up ahead is suspicious. He's trying to scam us. Let's be careful. This area is dangerous. Let's fly straight over there!"
A master at the Golden Core stage can fly, and with the right cultivation technique, they can travel great distances. Clearly, Xie Chuan doesn't possess such a technique, nor does the Wang family, but short-term flight is certainly possible.
Wang Shanlong pointed to a protruding boulder a few hundred meters away, then leaped into the sky.
The two cultivators from the Wang family exchanged a knowing smile, then leaped away.
The two cultivators following behind were together. They were at the Heartbeat stage and couldn't jump that far, so they could only move forward along the boulder that the cultivator in front had jumped over.
The two jumped one after the other toward the nearest boulder.
The first cultivator jumped onto the boulder, but before he could even leap, he sank into the lava along with it. The next cultivator screamed and plunged directly into the lava...
For a moment, the cultivators on the huge rocks behind were all stunned, and the cold sweat that broke out was quickly dried by the scorching heat.
"Master, what should we do?"
A pretty woman in red asked the old woman in front of her.
They were cultivators from Linfengfang, an all-female cultivation sect, distinguished by their red robes. The old woman led the group, and behind them, on another boulder, were three more girls in red, watching them nervously.
"Wang Shanlong is so vicious!" the old woman cursed under her breath, then, with a stern smile on her wrinkled face, she said, "You all wait here, I'll go scout ahead!"
She leaped towards the nearest rock, gently touched it with her leg, and landed without sinking.
"Follow me!"
The old woman laughed loudly, her voice filled with disdain for the three members of the Wang family, before flying off to the next boulder floating on the sea of lava.
With her scouting the way, the four disciples of Linfengfang were able to relax and simply follow along.
The other cultivators from the other sects also relaxed.
Xie Chuan was the only one whose face turned dark. The old woman's behavior inadvertently revealed his incompetence, so the six people from Qingtao Hall and Mao Xiaohui were left behind.
More than thirty cultivators leaped across the sea of lava until they reached its end, where a scorched land appeared in the distance.
The surrounding area was still a sea of lava, but the land stretched forward, and the group no longer had to jump around like monkeys.
Once everyone had landed, Wang Shanlong stepped forward again and announced, "Everyone, we have already scouted the surrounding area. There are three roads ahead, each leading in a different direction."
"Now I propose that we split into three groups, and whichever group finds the treasure, the Wang family will offer a high price to buy it!"
There is no absolute trust among cultivators. Since everyone is a cultivator, they look at each other and disperse on their own without anyone having to organize them.
"Yang Lingfeng!"
At that moment, Xie Chuan suddenly saw a familiar figure appear on the road to his left and let out a sharp shout.
He immediately used his movement technique to rush forward.
Xie Chuan lost face several times because of Yang Lingfeng; enemies are bound to be furious when they meet.
The disciples of Qingtao Hall quickly gave chase.
The remaining people looked at each other and quickly made their choices. The three members of the Wang family chose the middle path, followed by a few other cultivators.
The old woman, accompanied by four female disciples and a lone old man, went to the right, and most of the cultivators followed them. After all, of all the cultivators they had encountered along the way, the old woman from Linfengfang seemed to have the kindest heart.
Two Golden Core stage experts from the Moyun Sword Sect, along with several disciples, followed behind Qingtao Hall.
