“just think of something, quick!”

“oh dongfang mo, we are all going to die,” mui guangqing was already saying his last words when he saw the fiery-winged tyrant approaching.

dongfang mo was clearly not going to make it in time. besides, a super mage had no chance of taking on a ruler-level creature alone. human mages were significantly weaker than demon creatures of the same level. it was also a lot trickier to rescue and protect someone else in the middle of a fight…

“quick, jump into the hole!” lingling suddenly blurted out. her innocent voice did not sound convincing at all. the others had no clue what she was trying to say.

however, mo fan always treated lingling’s words seriously. he turned around and saw two lumps of black lava exploding around seven hundred meters away from where they were. the scorching lava splashed into the sky, and poured down like a great storm. even the mages that were responsible for defending the team were too preoccupied to set up their defense. they were going to die either way. perhaps being burned to death was the better way to die!

“jump, jump into the hollow now!” lingling was panicking. she kicked at zhao manyan beside her.

zhao manyan immediately reacted. his eyes flickered with a glimpse of hope.

“there’s an opening, quick, jump into it now!” zhao manyan was the first to jump. he dove right into the pool of lava.

“don’t, the opening isn’t huge enough, we aren’t going to make it to the bottom!” mui guangqing yelled, staring at the shrinking zhao manyan as he fell deeper into the hole.

the noise that the lava was producing was utterly deafening, but the others could still hear zhao manyan’s loud scream coming from the hole, “oh s.h.i.+t, oh s.h.i.+t, f**k!”

mo fan looked at zhao manyan, who had taken the lead. he then looked at the fiery-winged tyrant and roughly estimated the distance between them.

“screw it, jump!” mo fan picked the pet.i.te lingling up and dove into the hole, going right after zhao manyan’s cursing form.

the others were stunned. mu bai and qi shan were the next to jump into the blazing red pond. the others followed in turn, as they were left with no choice.

“the plan wasn’t supposed to be like this!” mui guangqing jumped into the hole too. tears almost burst out of his eyes as he was falling into the hole.

they had been waiting for the perfect opening for so long. any of the openings previously were a lot bigger and deeper than the current one. if they knew it would come down to such a terrible situation, they would have jumped into a hole a lot earlier. which G.o.d did they offend that resulted in the team detonating before the plan even started!?

—

“old zhao, can you go a little slower? what if you’re burned to death because you’re going so fast on your own!?” mo fan yelled.

“shut the h.e.l.l up, it’s not like i can slow myself dooooowwwnnn!” mo fan found it hard to hear zhao manyan clearly.

“pull everyone closer to us,” lingling’s head poked out from mo fan’s arms as she spoke.

“alright, hang on me tight,” mo fan loosened his grip, allowing lingling to hang on him like a little sloth.

mo fan immediately used his telekinesis while falling to forcibly drag the others that had jumped at different times closer to him.

“holy c.r.a.p, why is someone still up there!?” mo fan looked up and saw a person standing at the edge like a statue.

it was entirely possible that someone’s mind would completely go blank when they were stuck between the fiery-winged tyrant approaching from behind and the giant volcanic lake in front.

mo fan clearly did not have the time to counsel someone under the circ.u.mstances. all he could do was use his telekinesis to drag the person into the hole without getting their consent…

luckily, the distance was not too far apart. mo fan’s telekinesis was still strong enough to drag them into the hole. it grabbed at them and shoved them toward the hole. the maga called mui qing promptly screamed at the top of her lungs as she fell miserably into the sea of flames!

“mu bai, keep the lava away!” mo fan said calmly after he gathered everyone toward him.

huge pillars of flames sprang up like dragons as the team gradually approached the lava. the hollow was less than a hundred meters below them. if the hollow was not deep enough, it meant there was still lava blocking the path. if their defenses were not good enough, they would be burned to ashes within seconds!

“icebound coffin!”

mu bai was able to remain calm under the circ.u.mstances, too. he immediately constructed an ice constellation after the signal from mo fan.

the icy-white star constellation was glowing brightly, indicating that mu bai had a very solid foundation. the faint blue ice also indicated he had a high-level ice seed!

ice rapidly froze around the team as they fell into the hollow. the ice slowly formed an icebound coffin, encapsulating every member on the team!

the icebound coffin fell straight into the brown lava at the bottom of the opening.

the lava was around four hundred meters deep, but the explosion had only given them an opening around three hundred meters deep. in other words, they would have to traverse a hundred meters of lava, and fifty meters of that consisted of the extremely high-temperature brown lava!

the icebound coffin had fallen right into a boiling furnace. it was already melting from the extreme heat from their surroundings, before even touching the flames!

a white mist began to rise around the icebound coffin. half of it melted as soon as it made contact with the red lava.

the icebound coffin slammed into the pool of lava. the red lava splashed into the air and immediately burned hotly, turning the hollow into a pill-refining cauldron…

the members could already feel the terrifying heat penetrating their bodies and bones, despite the layer of ice protecting them. mo fan was still possessed by little flame belle, so his fire resistance was on par with hers. the red lava did not pose too much of a threat to him, but the others were in a much worse situation compared to him. mo fan already saw the girl called mui qing who was the furthest away from them burning…

“her organs must be burning!” mo fan started to panic a little.

their bodies were covered in ice, but the strong heat was being transmitted right into their organs. the organs would burst into flames if they could not find a way to lower the temperature. it was absolute torture.

mo fan could not bear to watch the girl die just like that. either way, he was the one that dragged her into the hole without her consent, even though she would be dead by now if it was not for him.

mo fan broke free from the ice that mu bai had applied to him. he forcibly dragged mui qing closer to him…

“little flame belle, can you draw the fire out of her body?” mo fan said to little flame belle.

little flame belle told mo fan that it was impossible to draw the flame out directly. besides, the fire was burning inside her body. the only way was to draw it out through her respiratory tract.

mo fan could not care less anymore knowing the girl’s life was at stake. he broke the ice surrounding mui qing and placed his lips on her mouth. he forced his way through her teeth and took a deep breath…

the flames burning inside mui qing’s lungs were already growing. luckily, mo fan had reacted in time to forcibly draw the deadly flames out of her respiratory tract and lungs!

the ice was transparent. zhao manyan’s eyes widened when he saw what mo fan was doing through the ice.

holy c.r.a.p, mo fan was seriously unmatched when it came to being a rascal. did he seriously just kiss an unconscious beauty forcibly under the current circ.u.mstances!?

the ice finally melted. mu bai had done his best. mui zhuocheng immediately activated the magic ring on his finger, constructing a water constellation. a dark blue barrier encapsulated everyone on the team!

the water barrier managed to insulate them from the majority of the heat, giving the team a chance to catch their breath.

“did it feel good?” zhao manyan asked.

“good my a.s.s, i was trying to save her life! her lungs were burning out!” mo fan grunted.

“more like it’s burning under your stomach,” zhao manyan replied, grinning.

mo fan did not want to waste his time on the sc.u.mbag zhao manyan. he glanced at mui zhuocheng, who was maintaining the water barrier with everything he had and asked, “how long can your barrier last…”

mo fan noticed the barrier breaking apart before he could even finish his question. the brown lava started pouring in through a crack in the barrier. the air inside the barrier instantly erupted into flames. the flames were as strong as a sky-flame funeral cast with a soul-grade seed!

it was terrifying; it felt like the team was being blasted by mo fan’s violent flames!

not many people at the advanced level could withstand mo fan’s flames, including mo fan himself. mui zhuocheng had already used everything he had, yet the defense had only lasted for such a brief moment.

dongfang xifeng was the next to act. according to the plan, he would use his blue soul-grade flame to drive the brown lava away, like combating poison with poison. the others no longer felt safe when they saw the lava surging at them!

“water curtain, baxia seal!”

zhao manyan quickly used his water element to fill the gap. it barely suppressed the violent flames of the brown lava.

“icebound coffin!” mu bai and mui zhuocheng cast the spell simultaneously. two icebound coffins separated the team from the lava.

“little flame belle, can you manipulate the lava?” mo fan asked.

“ning!~”

little flame belle was a fire elemental creature. mo fan immediately felt a terrifying heat burning every inch of his body when little flame belle flew out from his body. he was already suffering such great pain as a fire mage, let alone the others!

mo fan looked at lingling, who was lying on his back. he noticed that lingling had already fallen unconscious. she was encapsulated by a strange glow. it seemed to be protecting her, stopping the flames from touching her.
