Leaving the office building, the night has become much heavier. Walking on the lonely and dim path, looking up, the sky is full of stars, occasionally you can see neatly arranged light spots flashing in the night sky. It is the magic-patterned warship of the Futan Empire. It passes along the way and looks tough and arrogant. However, you often just disdain for Yurunxing where Xiao Hong is.

The wind at night was a little cooler. When she withdrew her gaze and stood up on her collar, Xiao Hong inserted his rough hands into her pocket, and his lonely and lonely figure was gradually swallowed up by the darkness.

When he returned home and pushed open the simple door, Xiao Hong lifted up the dilapidated wooden bed and began to search under the bed, preparing for the fifth floor of the extremely dangerous mine tomorrow.

Soon, a small hill made of debris was formed on the ground, a broken cotton coat, a pair of moldy thick-soled leather boots, a grinding stone, etc.

After counting things, thinking for a moment, confirming that there was no omission, I picked up the grinding stone and began to grind one end of my commonly used pickaxe sharply. Although this has an impact on the service life of the pickaxe, it can better break the rock.

After everything was done, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening. However, Xiao Hong did not fall asleep. Instead, he stood in front of the bookshelf, with his index finger constantly sliding in front of each book. After a moment, he took out a book "About the Stone", then sat upright at the desk, began to search and study carefully.

The so-called stone carving is a stone used to carve magic patterns, such as white jade, and the Sakurai stone that Sang Hongyun asked Xiao Hong to find, are all types of stone carving.

Different levels of magic patterns require different stone carrying.

What Xiao Hong wants to look at now is how to find Sakurai Ishi and the details that are paid attention to in mining.

In the early morning, Xiao Hong, who had gotten up from the bed, had already put on cotton coats, cotton pants, thick-soled leather boots, and a worn-out cotton hat was wrapped around his head, wrapping his body as tightly as possible.

Although the weather in midsummer is already a little hot, this layer of cotton jacket can help Xiao Hong resist the scorching heat of the five layers and a small amount of lava droplets. Of course, if you encounter a large strand of lava, such protection is simply not worth mentioning, but no matter what, it is better than nothing.

After taking two painkillers he prepared, Xiao Hong walked out of the house with his built pickaxe and a small cloth bag. Before leaving, he looked at the furnishings in his home. Xiao Hong himself didn't know if he could come back again. He lived in this broken house for three years and said he had no feelings at all, which was a fraud.

In the luxurious reception room of the office building, the rising sun shines in the room through the bright windows, and everything looks so clean and luxurious.

Sang Hongyun was sitting in front of the office desk, holding a knife and fork, with exquisite steak, yellow and white fried eggs and a cup of steaming milk in front of him.

"Mr. Sang, our remote countryside has limited food and is not well received. I hope he can't help. I have sent a special person to Taiwucheng to purchase food for you." The head of the director Xu Qing leaned over slightly and said respectfully.

Sang Hongyun didn't say anything, gently cut off a small piece of beef and put it in his mouth. His expression was calm, making it difficult for people to perceive the true thoughts in his heart from his expression, which always gives people a feeling of being hidden.

"Ha, I didn't expect that kid was quite experienced." Looking through the bright window, looking at Xiao Hong, who was wrapped tightly, and quickly walked through the open space in front of him and headed towards the mine on the mountainside. Sang Hongyun said softly, then ignored him, picked up the milk beside him, and sniffed a small mouthful.

"I heard from the tone of my lord, do you think that boy will succeed?" Xu Qing asked tentatively with great caution.

Sang Hongyun did not respond, and his expression was still calm and leisurely.

After drilling into the mine very skillfully, Xiao Hong saw Li Le and several companions standing in the first floor of the mine, then his eyes shone and asked Xiao Hong: "Hey, Brother Hong, did Master Sang meet you yesterday? Wow, that's the famous Sang Hongyun, you are so lucky."

Xiao Hong looked at Li Le with a gossip on his face, and did not speak, and walked quickly towards the second floor. However, Li Le did not give up and asked in the back.

His relationship with Xiao Hong is quite close, at least compared with other miners. The main reason is that he and Xiao Hong entered the Dongcheng Quarry in the same group. At that time, Li Le was often bullied, and Xiao Hong had helped him. In his impression, Xiao Hong was a little withdrawn and did not like to communicate with others, which was completely opposite to his personality.

Until he followed Xiao Hong's butt to the third floor of the mine, Li Le didn't ask a word. However, Li Le still didn't give up and continued, "Brother Hong, what's wrong with Sang Hongyun looking for you yesterday?"

Xiao Hong still ignored it and looked at the entrance of the fourth floor. The heat wave had receded. However, there were only a fixed few hours in the mine on the fourth floor every day, and it was in a calming period. Therefore, no matter what happened, Xiao Hong must return during this period, otherwise he would undoubtedly die. There is another premise, that is, he could come out of the fifth floor while alive.

"Go and get me a bucket of water." Xiao Hong suddenly turned his head and said to Li Le.

"Oh." Li Le responded very happily, and then ordered his companions behind him in a big way, "Go and bring a bucket of water to Brother Hong."

When Qingshui was sent, Xiao Hong poured Qingshui from head to toe and poured himself a cool heart. Then, he stopped hesitating and went directly into the fourth floor. At the same time, a heat came to his face. However, Xiao Hong didn't care. He looked serious and led the pickaxe to quickly shuttle through the fourth floor. Although his physical condition was not good, his pace was still steady.

After seven or eight minutes of travel, Xiao Hong came to the entrance of the fifth floor. Looking down, there were heat waves rolling inside, and pools of lava could be seen everywhere, just like a large stove, with the lowest temperature of at least 50 degrees.

More importantly, underground lava may erupt at any time, at irregular intervals, for one or two hours, or one or two minutes.

Once it erupts, Xiao Hong will definitely have no bones.

Therefore, the fifth floor is not so much a mineral channel, but rather a natural underground cave. When people dig here, they found the situation below and stopped digging.

If it were the past, Xiao Hong would never have taken a step, but now, if he doesn't enter, he will die. If he enters, he may still have hope.

Tied one end of the rope to the rock pillar, Xiao Hong held the rope tightly, gritted his teeth, and jumped into the fifth floor. The whole process seemed very decisive, without retreating, and without a trace of dragging mud.

Chi.

Just as Xiao Hong's feet were standing on the surface of the fifth floor, a trace of white smoke formed under his feet, and the sound of frying food was made. The burnt smell also spread into Xiao Hong's nostrils. The wet cotton coat also began to emit white steam, and his face felt hot.

Xiao Hong's eyes seemed extra calm at this time, without any panic. After glanced around slightly, Xiao Hong quickly walked forward, avoiding a pool of lava, while spreading the small cloth bag and sprinkling handfuls of white ash on the wall.

Based on yesterday's study of books, Xiao Hong knew that the Sakurai stone raw stone covered with ordinary rocks is difficult to detect by the naked eye, but there is a characteristic, that is, the raw stone has a very strong adsorption ability, so Xiao Hong came up with this method.

Where white ash is sprinkled on the wall, the white ash does not fall off, there is a very likely place where Sakurai Shi is present.

After about five minutes, Xiao Hong had already penetrated deep into the fifth layer. His wet body had dried up, and he felt hot and melted. The thick leather boots had also appeared. Every step further, a black footprint would form.

"Quick, hurry." Xiao Hong kept making such a sound in his heart. He knew very well that he would not have survived in this environment for long.

"Um?"

Xiao Hong's expression suddenly moved, and the white ash sprinkled on the black and brown rock wall suddenly formed a white seal the size of a palm, and the white ash did not fall off at all.

"This." Xiao Hong made only such a sound, then he squatted down suddenly, quickly lifted up the sharp pickaxe, tapped it a few times, and a little fluorescent green entered Xiao Hong's vision.

"This is Sakurai Ishi!"

Without too much hesitation, Xiao Hong squatted down and began to dig out a circle of grooves at the edge of the white seal extremely quickly. Then he increased his strength and chiseled it hard, and as long as he could, he dug down the Sakurai stone as quickly as possible. He knew very well that this place was not a place for a long time, and as long as he had such a Sakurai stone, he would have hope of living.

Soon, as Xiao Hong increased his efforts, cracks formed on the grooves on the edge of the white seal. What Xiao Hong had to do now was to completely cut it off and leave this ghost place.

However, at this moment, Xiao Hong's expression moved slightly, and he felt his feet suddenly start to tremble.

Boom!

After a loud bang, Xiao Hong saw a huge orange-red pillar of fire suddenly emerged in the distance, in the direction when he came, like a hideous beast, which was the magma erupting from the ground.

"Oh no." Xiao Hong couldn't help but make this sound and his face turned pale. When he looked at the rolling magma, like a fierce flood, washed up towards him.

A lava river formed under the hole where he came in instantly, and it rolled towards him.

There is no doubt that this is what Xiao Hong is most worried about. In this case, the possibility of escape is almost zero!

In just one minute, no, in just thirty seconds, Xiao Hong will be swallowed by lava and will die without a complete corpse!

The situation is extremely critical!

At this time, Xiao Hong saw such a scene. Although his expression was severe, he was not panicked. He gritted his teeth and lifted the pickaxe inserted into the gap with force, clenched the Sakurai stone from the rock wall. He grabbed the stone. Xiao Hong stood up and ran wildly in the depths of the fifth floor in the opposite direction!

This kind of action is said to be an instinct or Xiao Hong wants to live longer, but in short, Xiao Hong just wants to stay away from the magma coming.

In a blink of an eye, the hot magma was less than 100 meters away from Xiao Hong. Xiao Hong could feel the rolling heat wave behind him, and scorched marks appeared on the cotton coat behind him.

Fifty meters, thirty meters!

Looking at the magma that was approaching behind her, Xiao Hong was running wildly, and a trace of despair flashed across and muttered to himself: "Is it over like this?"
Chapter completed!
