Going to immortality inexplicably

Chapter 416 Unusual Moss
He had to go in. Fan Xiaoxiao immediately began to meditate at the entrance of the cave, slowly adapting to the heat wave.

She waited until the burning feeling disappeared before she stood up.

The area inside the cave is very large. Because there is no vegetation, it looks very empty. After walking about 50 meters, the passage begins to go downwards.

It's just that this passage is not a straight downward path, nor does it have stairs. Instead, it has twists and turns, like an irregular downward spiral.

Fan Xiaoxiao was very cautious. She was alone in the huge space. If she hadn't been used to being alone for many years, she would not have dared to move forward.

She was not in a hurry, and moved forward slowly and cautiously while carefully sensing the changes in temperature.

If you can't stand it anymore, stop and rest.

Anyway, let alone humans, there isn't even a single monster inside. It seems that the monsters on the fourth level don't like this volcano.

After walking around for several kilometers, we were only 200 meters underground when the scene in front suddenly changed.

A step about ten meters wide appeared in front. She hurriedly stood on the edge of the step and looked down. There were also spiral steps below. She couldn't see the end at a glance, but she could feel that the steps were irregular. .

But in the bottomless depths of the ground, there seemed to be a faint fire.

The heat wave coming up below was even worse than the existing heat wave above. She couldn't estimate the depth below, because the farther down, the higher the temperature, and her consciousness couldn't detect the bottom at all.

Of course, if the ground is too deep, her consciousness will not be able to explore it.

"Is the fire vein down there?" she asked the old man.

"It should be, but it's too high to detect the specific location of the fire veins. We have to go down to find out clearly."

Fan Xiaoxiao was depressed. The high temperature below was too terrible. Looking at the faint flickering fire, there might be rolling magma at the bottom.

Can I really get close to the magma?She had no confidence at all.

But you have come, how could you give up halfway?

We have come this far, at least the front is relatively smooth.

Giving up halfway was not her style. If she really got near the magma and couldn't withstand the high temperature there, she would have to go back.

You have to test and determine the limit of your own strength before your trip is in vain.

She decided to follow the old method, proceed cautiously, step by step, and stop to meditate and adjust her breath as soon as she could not breathe smoothly.

She sat down cross-legged on the spot, but suddenly felt something was wrong.

The temperature inside is much higher than outside, and the ground should also be boiling hot.

But now that she sat down, she felt a vague coolness?

The ground now is no longer the kind of dirt outside, but a large area of ​​stones.

She caressed the stones and found that they were covered with a thin layer of moss-like vegetation.

She was greatly surprised. There was no grass growing on the soil outside. How could there be vegetation on the rocks here?

Plants like moss can only be found in dark and humid places. The dark conditions are indeed met here, but the high temperature is baking and there is no moisture in the air. How can there be any moisture?How did this moss form?
The old man was also a little confused. He had to lament his amnesia. If he could recover his memory, with his long years of experience and the many strange things he had seen, he should be able to discover the clues.

"These moss are unusual, please bring some in."

So, Fan Xiaoxiao carefully scraped a little moss and sent it into the space.

Then, she no longer cared about how the old man played with the moss, but took the time to meditate and adjust her breathing to adapt to the surging heat below as soon as possible.

"This place is very strange. I'm afraid it's not as simple as the high temperature on the surface."

After Fan Xiaoxiao finished running for two weeks and finally stopped sweating, the old man spoke quietly.

Fan Xiaoxiao was stunned and didn't know how to answer the question.

She had never seen a real volcano, and everything here was beyond her scope of knowledge.

"With such a high temperature, it's incredible that these stones actually contain moisture." Hearing the old man's sigh, Fan Xiaoxiao also found it incredible.

No wonder I felt a vague coolness when I sat down. There was actually moisture in the stone of feelings?

It doesn't matter if there is water. After a long period of high temperature baking, no matter how much water is evaporated, why can the water in the stone remain unevaporated?

I wanted to make a meal of beggar meat outside, but it almost turned into a pile of black coal. You can imagine how high the temperature on the ground was.

There are cracked soil in many places at the foot of the mountain, and I am afraid that all the water in the soil has evaporated.

"These moss are also good things, but unfortunately due to geographical restrictions, they cannot be transplanted in space. You can collect more."

Well, Fan Xiaoxiao has always implemented the old man's request to the letter.

It's just that the moss is too thin and cannot be collected from a large area. After searching all the nearby rocks, there is only a small handful.

Of course the old man knew that collecting moss was not easy, and he was very satisfied with being able to collect such a small amount.

"I'm afraid it's not just that the temperature is getting higher and higher down there. There may be other dangers. Please be careful."

This was the first time that the old man reminded Fan Xiaoxiao to be careful, and Fan Xiaoxiao began to beat her heart unconsciously.

She never doubted the old man's judgment. Judging from the old man's usual calmness, the danger that the old man could call dangerous was definitely not an ordinary danger, which made her feel a little more uneasy.

I just regret that my strength is not improved fast enough, otherwise I will be more confident when facing danger.

But it was useless to be afraid. With the old man's special reminder, she naturally had to be more careful.

First of all, because the steps are covered with moss, they are a bit slippery underfoot.

If one accidentally rolls down, and he can't fly, any accident may happen.

The worst outcome is to fall directly into the magma and then be destroyed.

Just thinking about it, she suddenly felt that the temperature around her dropped a few degrees, making her want to shiver unconsciously.

After walking about 500 meters down, Fan Xiaoxiao felt that the temperature around her had risen too fast, making her feel suffocated.

This feeling was so uncomfortable that she had to stop and meditate directly on the steps.

When she sat down this time, she realized that all the moss on it had disappeared, and the steps no longer had the cool feeling they had before.

Is this because the temperature is getting higher and higher, finally evaporating the water in the stone?
This made sense, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a little more at ease.

There must be a monster when things go wrong, and it would make her even more uneasy if there was always moss on the steps.

Fortunately, she has adapted to the current temperature, and the burning heat on the steps will not affect her breathing.

"twitter……"

Just as she closed her eyes and was about to fall into trance, a strange and piercing cry suddenly came from her ears, and she suddenly opened her eyes.

The old man was studying the moss, and he was sighing that this moss was not green moss, but red. It seemed that the scorching high temperature also had a great impact on this moss.

The sudden strange cry interrupted the old man's attention, forcing him to pay attention to the unexpected situation outside.

Fan Xiaoxiao had already stood up, staring closely at the depths of the ground.

The fire under the ground was still only vaguely visible, and the specific situation was completely unclear.

Her current consciousness can explore about 500 meters, but due to the high temperature below, she cannot explore that deep.

In the current environment, her detection limit was less than 1000 meters, and no monsters were found within this detection range.

Then, the thing that made the strange noise is at least 1000 meters below.

Even from such a distance, the sound can still be transmitted clearly. Is it just because the environment here is airtight that the sound has such penetrating power?
