……

at the same time.

After Freya's Goddess of Wisdom escaped the mutated Annihilation Beasts, it finally fled back to the Dragon Abyss Relay Station in a sorry state.

Sariel, Ryuzawa Liyue, and Ryan, the commander-in-chief of the Longyuan Relay Station, all rushed over upon hearing the news.

When the starship's hatch opened and everyone saw Michael being carried out, along with the listless elite priests behind him, their expressions darkened.

Who could have imagined that with two powerful Divine Throne leaders leading the team, along with more than ten elite Divine-level troops, they would suffer such heavy losses?

"What happened? How did Michael get so badly injured? Where are the others? Where's Long Fei?"

Long Ze Liyue stepped forward quickly, her brows furrowed, and immediately launched into a barrage of questions.

Sariel then went forward to check on Michael's injuries. Michael had clearly overdrawn his life force and was severely injured.

Whether he can pull through depends on fate.

Freya gritted her teeth and quickly gave a brief account of what had happened.

Sariel and Ryuzawa Riyue frowned as they listened.

"at last……"

Freya took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "In order to draw away the powerful enemy and buy everyone a chance to survive, Long Fei lured Quinn away by himself. Now, I'm afraid his fate is unknown..."

"What?! Long Fei, he..."

Upon hearing this, Long Ze Liyue's pretty face turned deathly pale.

She really couldn't understand it; that guy, acting as an undercover agent, hadn't managed to fool himself into joining the scheme, had he?

Do you really have to work this hard?

However, given Ling Feng's abilities, drawing away the mutated insectoid creature might have been a cover-up.

After all, Ling Feng couldn't unleash his full power in front of Freya and the others.

But it's different when you're in a deserted place.

She took a deep breath and said slowly, "I think that guy is definitely still alive!"

"Yes, Long Fei isn't the kind of reckless person. Since he dared to lure that monster away, he must have a way to escape."

Sariel remained relatively calm. She glanced at the dying Michael and said in a deep voice, "Send Michael to the highest-level medical pod for life support and recovery treatment! Also, Freya, can you pinpoint the area where they last lost contact?"

"The general area is fine!"

Freya nodded immediately, "I've already thought it through. After sending Michael and the others back, I'll go back to meet him!"

In her opinion, even if Ling Feng could get rid of Quinn, the embers and dust of the Abyss Zone were no joke.

Prolonged exposure to dust can cause irreversible damage even to clergy, and may even cause them to mutate into those twisted annihilation beasts.

"I will go with you!"

Long Ze Liyue immediately blurted out, "That guy is incredibly resilient! He's survived countless near-death experiences, he'll definitely be fine this time too!"

Sariel looked at the two of them, pondered for a moment, and nodded: "Alright! You can go. I'll oversee things at the relay station. This matter must be reported to Lord Siyou immediately! That so-called 'Child of the Abyss' is of great importance and must be thoroughly investigated!"

"Then, I'll leave the relay station to you!"

Freya glanced at Sariel, then flew into the Goddess of Wisdom starship together with Ryuzawa Riyue.

With a roar of engines, they ventured deeper into the abyss once more.

……

Above the underground magma river.

Another half day passed in that scorching heat.

The rock where Ling Feng and Zi Ling barely found shelter drifted downstream along the underground river of lava, seemingly never reaching its end.

The longer the situation drags on, the more serious Ling Feng's condition will become.

His consciousness began to blur, sometimes clear, sometimes drowsy. He even began to hallucinate, with past events flashing through his mind like a revolving lantern.

He had faced countless desperate situations before, but this was the first time he felt so powerless.

No matter how desperate he was before, he still had a chance to fight back in his death throes.

But this time, he could only watch helplessly as he grew weaker and weaker, even becoming a burden to Ziling.

"Master, hang in there a little longer, we'll be alright..."

Zi Ling's voice was choked with sobs as she watched Ling Feng grow weaker and weaker, feeling utterly helpless.

She could feel Ling Feng's life force gradually fading away.

If this continues, I'm afraid...

Looking at Ling Feng's cracked lips and withered face, and then at the churning lava around them, a resolute glint flashed in their eyes.

Because he possessed the blood of the Zerg, he was able to resist the embers and dust that filled this place.

So, her blood might be able to help her master get through this difficult time.

With that thought in mind, she no longer hesitated.

She gritted her teeth, stretched out her fair arm, and subtly sharpened the tip of her other finger, making a light slash on her wrist without hesitation!
laugh!
A tiny wound appeared, and drops of crystal-clear blood with a faint purplish-gold tinge seeped out.

"Master, you absolutely cannot be harmed!"

As Zi Ling spoke softly, she carefully brought her wrist to Ling Feng's lips and poured her blood directly into his mouth.

Ling Feng, who was in a semi-conscious state, felt a sweet and metallic liquid rush into his throat, which instantly dispelled some of the burning and pain, and made his confused consciousness slightly clearer.

He swallowed a few times unconsciously. The strange blood seemed to possess some special power, temporarily suppressing the rampant embers that were eroding his body, like rain after a long drought.

Then, he began to instinctively suckle deeply.

I don’t know how long it has been...

When Ling Feng finally opened his eyes and regained consciousness, Zi Ling was already deathly pale and almost collapsed.

But she still placed her arm near Ling Feng's mouth, letting him suck her blood.

“Ziling, you…”

Ling Feng felt a pang of pain in his heart; he immediately understood what had happened.

That silly woman!
"Master, I'm alright!"

Zi Ling quickly withdrew her arm, but due to the seal on this spot and the loss of too much of her original blood, it did not heal as quickly as usual.

She narrowed her eyes and grinned, saying, "As long as you can wake up, Master, what is this little bit of blood!"

"Ziling, I..."

Ling Feng clenched his fists, the words were on the tip of his tongue, but he didn't know what to say.

"Alright, Master, stop being so wishy-washy. I'll leave the rest to you now!"

Zi Ling narrowed her eyes and smiled, saying, "I know that as long as you wake up, Master, you will definitely be able to solve any crisis!"

"You..."

Ling Feng gave her a deep look and said in a deep voice, "I owe you far too much!"

Since taking Ziling under her wing, she has saved him countless times.

Even in this desperate situation, Zi Ling still puts herself first.

He took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Ziling, from now on, we are no longer master and servant. I have never treated you as a servant. So, you don't need to call me master anymore."

"No way, Master is Master."

Before Ziling could finish speaking, she weakly collapsed backward.

Ling Feng quickly hugged her.

The rocks beneath our feet are shrinking as the lava melts them.

At first, Ling Feng could lie down, but now even when the two of them are sitting together, it feels very cramped.

When Ling Feng was unconscious, he was almost completely leaning against Zi Ling's lap.

Now that Ling Feng has awakened, Zi Ling has become extremely weak due to the loss of too much of her essence and blood.

The situation reversed. Ling Feng held Zi Ling in his arms, his brows furrowing even more as he watched the rocks slowly melting.

At this rate, in another half hour, the rock will probably only be able to accommodate one person standing on it. And the rate of shrinkage seems to be accelerating.

The intense heat of the lava seemed to be burning the soles of their feet.

Ling Feng took a deep breath; he knew they didn't have much time left.

We can no longer sit idly by and wait to die!

"Ziling, can you still attach yourself to me?"

Ling Feng's gaze narrowed slightly. Another large piece of rock beneath his feet had broken off. He could only help Zi Ling stand up, while holding her tightly in his arms, afraid that she might faint and fall headfirst into the lava.

This magma, infused with embers and dust, would likely pose a fatal threat to even a divine-level expert, even with the protection of divine essence.

Moreover, their primal power is now completely suppressed.

Zi Ling gritted her teeth and tried, then shook her head, "No, it seems to be sealed as well."

"Ok."

Ling Feng frowned slightly, then picked up Zi Ling and carried her on his back.

We must find a chance to escape!

With the help of Zi Ling's blood, Ling Feng managed to regain some strength.

Although the situation remains far from optimistic, he has no choice but to take a gamble.

The rocks beneath my feet can hold me for at most another hour or so.

The burning sensation grew stronger, and the soles of the shoes even began to smell burnt.

"If we get a chance, we'll try to jump to the shore!"

Ling Feng held his breath and concentrated, unsure of how far he could jump in his current state.

But he had to take a gamble.

About half an hour later.

The rock beneath his feet had almost completely crumbled, barely able to accommodate Ling Feng's two feet.

Cracks began to appear in the middle of the rock, and blazing flames were about to burst forth from the cracks.

But luck finally smiled upon Ling Feng and his companions.

At this point, the lava river enters a relatively narrow area, only about 100 meters away from the rock walls on both sides.

Although the dust, baked by the high temperature, formed a layer of almost distorted red mist that obscured the view.

But, I have to jump!
The boulder beneath our feet can only hold for a few more minutes before it completely melts and disintegrates!

There's no time to hesitate!
"Ziling! Hold me tight!"

Ling Feng took a deep breath and began to regulate his breathing.

At the same time, Zi Ling's arms tightly gripped Ling Feng's shoulders.

"three!"

"two!"

"one!"

Ling Feng stared intently at the riverbank hidden beneath the red mist, his legs slightly bent.

Click!

The stone beneath their feet finally shattered in two, and flames erupted from it.

And at the same time.

"ah!!!"

Ling Feng let out a roar that was driven by all his might, and with Zi Ling on his back, he leaped into the air.

In an instant, his body drew a dangerous arc in the air, with Zi Ling clinging tightly to his neck and her eyes closed.

The scorching wind howled in my ears, and the rolling lava below emitted a suffocating heat wave.

Ling Feng's heart was in his throat. He could clearly feel his strength rapidly draining away. This jump had almost exhausted all the energy he had just recovered.

close!

close!

The rugged, rough black rock walls on the shore rapidly magnified in our field of vision!
boom!
Finally, Ling Feng's feet slammed heavily onto the scorching rocks on the shore. The enormous impact caused him to stagger, almost causing him to fall down with Zi Ling.

He barely managed to steady himself, his knees buckled, and he almost collapsed to the ground.

"We did it! Master, we did it!"

Zi Ling exclaimed in surprise.

Ling Feng gasped for breath, the scorching air burning his throat.

He carefully put Ziling down, and the two of them supported each other as they looked back.

The rock they had just used to propel themselves to jump had completely disintegrated, turning into several smaller pieces of rock that were quickly swallowed up, melted, and disappeared by the dark red magma.

Danger after danger!

If it had been a few hours later, they would have perished in the flames by now.

They exchanged a lingering glance, both seeing a hint of relief at surviving the ordeal in each other's eyes.

But the crisis is far from over.

The rocks beneath their feet were scorching hot, and the thick, almost impenetrable embers and dust in the air relentlessly tried to erode their bodies.

Even with the Golden Saint Cloth blocking most of the way, Ling Feng still felt a stinging sensation on his skin and had difficulty breathing.

Zi Ling is in slightly better condition, but she is still extremely weak after losing a large amount of essence and blood.

"let's go!"

Ling Feng helped Zi Ling as they trudged forward along the narrow riverbank.

I don't know how long we walked, maybe half an hour, or maybe longer.

Just as Ling Feng felt his strength was about to be exhausted again, the scene in front of him suddenly changed.

The narrow river channel suddenly widened, as if we had entered a huge underground cavern.

In the center of this hollow, magma flows converge to form a vast, dark red "lake".

In the center of the lake stood an enormous, bizarrely shaped giant tree!

The tree was a deathly, charred black, completely bare without a single leaf. Its branches were twisted and gnarled, like the tentacles of a dying beast, exuding an ancient and eerie aura.

What's even more chilling is that countless skeletons are hanging densely from those twisted branches!

There were humanoid creatures, giant beasts, and some with bizarre shapes whose species were impossible to identify...

A thicker vine connects the tops of all the skeletons to the tree trunk, making them appear as if they were originally one with the tree.

It's like the "fruit" that grows on that big tree.

This idea immediately startled Ling Feng.

Since embarking on the path of cultivation, he has witnessed quite a few supernatural and strange things.

But I've never been so shocked before.

At the very top, surrounded by all the branches, stood an enormous, blood-red evil eye!
At this moment, the evil eye was indifferently "watching" Ling Feng and Zi Ling, who had just stepped into this area, their tiny and astonished figures reflected in its pupils.

An indescribable coldness and deathly stillness, yet imbued with a frenzied and greedy will, spread like a tide, instantly making Ling Feng and Zi Ling feel as if they had fallen into an ice cave, their blood almost freezing!
"Then...what the hell is that?!"

Zi Ling's voice trembled, and she instinctively gripped Ling Feng's arm tightly.

Ling Feng was also greatly shocked. A strong sense of crisis made him want to retreat immediately, but he found that his steps had become unusually heavy.

Just then, a cold yet familiar voice came from the shadows on the other side of the tree.

"Hmph, I didn't expect you two good-for-nothings to be so tough, actually managing to get here."

A figure slowly emerged from the shadows.

It was none other than Quinn. (End of Chapter)
