The road ahead is getting harder and harder, and the road under your feet is getting muddy. There is a layer of water accumulation on the swamp, and the accumulated water is easily reflected, so it is difficult to see clearly the situation under the accumulated water. If experienced people will find that light green algae will appear on the surface of the ground that is completely penetrated by the accumulated water, and the ground is sunken. Such a place is a mud trap. Once stepped in, the swamp will slowly swallow into the person's body, and finally the mud will pour into the body along the person's mouth and nose. After a short time, it will sink to the bottom of the swamp, and the whole person will slowly rot.

This kind of swamp requires very experienced people to distinguish the water seepage on the surface. You must never enter areas with severe water seepage. In order to prevent accidents from happening in the expedition team when passing through the swamp, the empress deliberately let someone carry thorn metal.

The few people behind the expedition team carrying heavy boxes were filled with thorn metal. The empress ordered people to open the coffin box, and the thorn metal was gathered together, and spread into a row like lotus leaves as the empress controls. The expedition team naturally would not fall into a swamp on it.

After walking through this small piece of water, I suddenly saw two rows of twists and turns in front of me. The ugly servant shouted: "There should be the traces left by Zhanwu and the others. Master Empress, should we chase them?"

The empress looked at the footprints not far away and said, "They should have entered the Great Break..."

Seeing that she was hesitant, Youyoule said, "Empress, I think I should follow them. The person who is with Chanwu is called Nie Xiaosheng. I have a holiday with him. He came from Shufang to find Chanwu, so he is very familiar with the way to Shufang."

The empress is now quite trusted and enjoys the fun, saying, "Okay, let's follow them!"

The expedition team looked for the shallow footprints left on the wetlands, and it was indeed not long before they arrived near the Great Cracked. The surface of the Great Cracked was broken because there was a volcano nearby. A crack was cracked, and the magma formed a volcanic abyss along the cracks. Due to the dry river and ice valleys, the extremely uneven heat and heat caused the dry crust in the nearby areas to crack. These cracks spread from the Abyss Lava Valley to the surroundings. The deepest ones were several thousand meters. The rifts connected to the Abyss Lava Valley will flow, and some were cracked separately or were dry and solid.

A long time ago, the Augustus Empire built a chain of iron bridges on one rift valley after another. From the iron bridge, it could pass through the Great Rift at the shortest distance. However, now the iron bridge has been destroyed, so it can only pass through the Great Rift. The Lava Valley in the Great Rift is similar to the Sea Valley, but it is much more dangerous here than the Sea Valley, because if you go wrong, the magma flows over and the road you walk through is likely to be blocked. Some people are forced to risk their lives to marrow, but people are not iron walls, and they are burned to death after walking a few steps.

The expedition followed the footprints left by Nie Xiaosheng and others and walked to the vicinity of the Great Slide. Sure enough, there was a gentle slope leading directly into the Great Slide. Walking down the gentle slope, there were two forks leading to the depths of the Great Slide. Both roads looked passable, and there were signs set up on the roadside. The handwriting on it had been rusted. Looking closer, it was vaguely identified from the sign on the left that this was the road leading to the Rift Market. The road on the right led to the town of Carthage. The town of Carthage is briefly recorded in ancient books. It was after the last eruption of the Abyss Volcano. The lava swallowed the residences of the residents in the Great Slide. The residents were forced to move. The newly relocated town was renamed Carthage. Now Carthage has become an old site. Most of the town buildings there died with the expansion of lava. Now there should be only the wreckage of the houses left.

No one could touch these two roads clearly. Without knowing the specific circumstances of these two roads, the empress had to order the troops to divide into two routes, one team passed through the Rift Valley Market, and the other pair passed through the Carthage town. The two pairs tried their best to capture Zhanwu while crossing the Great Rift.

After ordering, the two teams separated immediately, the ugly servants atone for their sins, and temporarily led the second team to pass through the town of Carthage, while the empress took another pair to pass through the Rift Valley Market.

The two teams separated and walked into the valley. Youyoule did not understand the empress's intention and asked, "Why should we separate the two teams? Isn't this more dangerous?"

The empress said: "What I need is more information. No matter which of these two roads, there should be one that can be walked through. As long as you pass through the Great Break, you can reach the feet of the female giant beast."

The Queen Youyoule has always been a meticulous person and asked again: "When we go here, do you have any special intentions?"

The empress said: "Half of the towns in Carthage have disappeared with the expansion of lava. It has become a dead city and has no value to go there. Moreover, a lava disaster broke out not far from Carthage. In comparison, the possibility of encountering lava here is smaller."

The two chatted all the way. The expedition team had already reached the depths of the Great Rift. In the valley of the Great Rift, they could feel the gust of hot wind blowing from the depths of the valley. There was a dilapidated pass ahead. After entering the pass, they would go to the Rift Rift Market. Although it is still called the Rift Rift Market now, there is indeed nothing inside.

Under the cliffs on both sides of the rift are houses built in mountains. Some of these houses have been destroyed, some have collapsed, and the streets are dusty, which gives people the feeling of being a country in the desert.

Everyone had already taken off their heavy clothes and threw them at the entrance of the valley. Since entering the valley, Youyouli felt that it was very boring. Seeing the scene in front of you, Youyouli couldn't help but say, "It's so desolate here."

Chu Jingxiang said: "This was once a small market under the Imperial City, but now it has become desolate with the destruction of the Empire."

Youyoule said: "Nothing left here?"

At this time, the front vanguard sent by Chu Jingxiang had already returned and reported: "There is no danger ahead yet, so you can continue to move forward."

The expedition team continued to move forward again, about halfway through the great crack. The front vanguard suddenly came to report, saying: "It's not good that the empress, the magma flow in front washed over the valley wall and rushed into the valley!"

The empress hurriedly asked, "Is there any road ahead that can be passed by?"

Pioneer said: "There is one that leads to the basin in the canyon, but it cannot go out of the crack."

The empress thought for a while and said, "The journey of the Great Schizophrenia has been halfway through. We cannot give up halfway, go to the basin first!"

The pioneer stopped him and said, "Mr. Empress, although it is safe in the basin now, the magma flow will sooner or later flow into the valley. Going there is like seeking death!"

The empress asked again: "How is the magma flow rate?"

Pioneer said: "It seems to be quite a lot, but I don't know the specific ones, because the flow rate of lava tributaries is difficult to judge."

The empress said: "Now, we have a bet. If the amount of lava in the tributary is not enough, it will solidify after it flows into the basin. After the lava solidifies, we can continue to move forward."

Pioneer said: "Then please hurry up, I will guide you in front."

Youyoule was very worried about Chu Jingxiang's approach. If you make the wrong choice, the expedition team would die here. She must be confident. Youyoule looked back and found that those people carrying black secret boxes were still behind the team. The reason why Chu Jingxiang dared to do this must be because of those people!
