Chapter 239: Hell Rock Valley

"Success!"

"The freeze has really been lifted!!"

“Yeah, that’s great!!”

The Shuiyue Cave has regained its vitality, and the group is overjoyed.

The three Tong brothers quickly remembered the funeral ceremony of the previous clan leader that was being held, and rushed to the altar.

Lu Ping pulled Yin Xiu aside.

"Senior, although the ice in Shuiyue Cave has been thawed, I am still worried about the stability of the Vermillion Bird Essence. Could you please take me to Hell Rock? I want to investigate further."

"In-depth investigation?"

When Yin Xiu heard this, he was shocked: "You don't want to jump down to see? That's endless magma! Are you going to die?!"

Lu Ping shook his head slightly: "I know my limits and won't do anything rash. Anyway, just take me with you!"

"It's okay to take you there, but you must be impulsive!"

Seeing Yin Xiu nagging like an old woman, Lu Ping couldn't help but smile faintly: "Don't worry, I haven't lived enough yet!"

"Then come with me."

After a while, the two arrived in front of Hell Rock.

The deep valley before us was several thousand meters deep. Standing on the edge of the cliff and looking down, we could only see flames and magma that were orange with red, and red with black.

Looking at the fiery red abyss beneath his feet, Lu Ping couldn't help but sigh at its grandeur.

"In one day, I have seen the Water of Fire and the Land of Ice. The only thing left is the Snowfield of Sand..."

Forget it, let’s just visit seriously.

"Wisdom eyes pierce the clouds!!"

The true energy condensed in the eyes, as if transcending time and space, and fell into the rolling waves of fire.

According to the records of the Tong family, the Hell Rock in front of them is rumored to be the place where the ancient God of Fire Zhurong fell, so it has an endless supply of fire energy.

It is with the help of this energy that the essence of Vermillion Bird has been able to remain almost intact until now.

"Young man, you've been looking for a long time. Do you see anything?"

Seeing that Lu Ping maintained his sharp eyes and piercing the clouds without moving, Yin Xiu couldn't figure out his mind, and finally couldn't resist his curiosity and asked.

Lu Ping retracted his gaze, shook his head and said, "It seems that there is nothing wrong with this."

"Nothing wrong? Isn't that a good thing?"

"It's indeed a good thing!"

It is true that Hell Rock is covered with high-temperature flames, but as the saying goes, 'Purity comes from filth, and light comes from darkness', whenever a certain attribute reaches its extreme, something with a completely opposite attribute will always be born.

And at the very center of this ball of fire, there is a "fireless" space, which is the bottom of the Hell Rock. Yin Feng in the original drama, as well as Yin Tianxue and Yin Hao who were knocked down to the Hell Rock, stayed there for a long time.

Five hundred years ago, Yin Feng accidentally ate a poisonous snake and was sealed in an ice coffin by Yin Zhong. Later, the ice coffin was washed into the bottom of the Hell Rock Valley by a flood. It was not until a man named Elder Xuan accidentally entered it that the ice was unsealed.

Lu Ping had no idea where the flood came from or how it rushed in.

The most likely possibility is that there was originally a river connecting the bottom of the Hell Rock Valley to the surface, and then in the past 500 years, due to earthquakes or underground collapse, the river was cut off, causing the exit to be blocked.

That's why it's possible to get in but not get out.

And it is precisely because of the existence of this river that caves and groundwater were formed after the underground changes, ensuring the daily needs of people in the valley.

At the end of the original drama, when Yin Zhong was defeated in the final battle with Tong Bo and fell into Hell Rock, the fire here was extinguished, and at the same time his soul was sealed in the spirit mirror. In a moment, five years passed in the outside world.

Later, Yin Zhong broke free from the spirit mirror, and the powerful force caused cracks to appear at the bottom of the Hell Rock Valley, allowing Yueya and Yin Tianxue to get out.

Lu Ping suddenly remembered something: the extinguishing of the flame was caused by Yin Zhong falling into the Hell Rock. Is this related to his physique or strength?
This is definitely not something you can gamble on.

If he lost the bet and accidentally caused the flame to go out, causing the essence of the Vermillion Bird to dissipate, the entire Southern Martial Arts World would suffer.

But if Yin Zhong doesn't go down and can't see his daughter, he will definitely continue to choose to retaliate against the Tong family and even destroy the entire world. Then it will be just as bad.

The only way is for someone to go down and bring Yin Feng up so that the father and daughter can be reunited.

But if you want to pass through the sea of ​​fire below with a temperature of hundreds of degrees Celsius and travel back and forth between the deep valleys thousands of meters high, you must have superb martial arts and lightness skills to do it.

Looking at the Hell Rock in front of him, Lu Ping began to sweat profusely.

If he were alone, relying on his Water and Wind Steps, Spinning Air Slash and the defensive power of Grabbing Wind into Stone, he would still have some confidence that he could make the round trip.

After all, Tan Wu Yu had used wind-grabbing to turn into stone to defend against volcanic eruptions.

But it would be a bit difficult to bring one more person up and protect the other person completely.

"If one doesn't do it right, he will die!"

But at this moment, I am undoubtedly the best and only candidate.

"I have contributed a lot to the martial arts world..." He looked around, looked up to the sky, and sighed helplessly.

Then Lu Ping's eyes flashed, he gathered his inner energy, and leaped up.

"Fight it!"

Yin Xiu, who was standing by, did not anticipate Lu Ping's action at all. He just stood there in a daze. Half a second later, he finally reacted and reached out to grab him, but how could he catch up?

All he could do was yell at the endless magma below: "Are you crazy?!"

Did you come all the way to Shuiyue Cave just to jump into the lava and die? Or did you feel too tired after a day's journey and wanted to take a bath in it?
Before he finished shouting, he felt a huge energy fluctuation coming from below.

As Lu Ping fell, his movement resisted——

"The Military Classics: The Six Martial Arts Return to One, The Heaven and Earth Gods Are All at Peace!"

"Taijixuan·Transfer the Heaven and Earth·Clear Wind Sweeps the World!"

"Snow embraces the icy plum!!"

"Catch the wind and turn it into stone!"

He used a series of powerful moves one after another, first using the cold-attributed ice and snow and breeze to resist the high-temperature flames of the Hell Rock, until his physical body could no longer bear it, and then used the Wind-Turning Stone to protect himself.

After a series of operations, endless wind and snow were seen carrying huge rocks, which, under the influence of gravity, fell at a speed that was beyond the reach of the naked eye, and finally broke through the sea of ​​fire barrier!
After an unknown amount of time, the huge rock finally fell to the ground with a loud bang. The sound spread throughout the entire Hell Rock Valley, startling the lonely traveler living there.

Realizing that the temperature around him was not as high as before, Lu Ping understood that he had reached the bottom of the valley. However, he did not dare to be careless. He still kept the cold internal energy around him, and then he released the "Grabbing the Wind into Stone" skill.

Bang-!
The gravel was scattered all over the ground. Lu Ping got out and found that this was a place like an underground cave. He did not move rashly, but first looked at the surrounding environment -

The temperature is not high and can be tolerated by normal human skin;
There was plenty of light, because of the sea of ​​fire above;

The air can circulate, so it is not too turbid;

Listening carefully, I could hear the sound of water coming from deep in the cave;
The surrounding area is full of poisonous grasses and flowers, and all kinds of living poisonous creatures can be seen everywhere...

"The environment is exactly as I expected. There really is such a world under the sea of ​​fire. The wonders of nature are truly amazing!"

After looking up at the passage he had come down from and making sure he could go back from here, Lu Ping walked towards the depths of the cave.

"Hello, is anyone home?"

Not long after, a brand new but not very beautifully built tomb appeared in front of him, with five big words written on it: Grandpa Xuan’s Tomb.

The person buried here should be the Elder Xuan who released Yin Feng from the ice, right?

Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard footsteps behind me.

The man had deliberately lowered his footsteps, as if intending to quietly approach and kill, but Lu Ping had already noticed it. He tapped his toes lightly, moved half a body length to the side, and nimbly avoided the opponent's sneak attack.

Turning around, I saw the man was wearing a black suit that was ahead of his time, with a stern expression and vigilant eyes.

This should be Yin Feng, right?
Her face is 50% similar to Yin Tianxue, no wonder she was able to transform herself into her later, it seems that it is not just because of her superb disguise skills...

"Girl, why do you have to be hostile to someone you just met for the first time?"

The sneak attack failed, but Yin Feng still did not realize the difference in strength between the enemy and us. He continued to stare at Lu Ping and asked coldly, "Who are you?"

"Someone who can take you out." Lu Ping answered concisely.

You can't say that you came down here specifically to take her out, right?
Then I might have to explain why I knew of her existence, which would be even more troublesome.

If you answer like this, you don't have to explain your identity or how you got here.

Yin Feng was stunned when he heard this. After a long pause, he confirmed that Lu Ping was not a threat to him, and then he said, "There is no way out of this place, otherwise I wouldn't have to stay here for so many years."

Lu Ping shook his head: "Being able to stay here for so many years means there must be a way out. If there is a way out, how can we not get out?"

Yin Feng didn't answer, just sneered.

"I seem to hear the sound of water inside. Do you know where the water source is?"

If possible, Lu Ping would like to find another way out instead of going through the sea of ​​fire again.

"...Come with me, but I advise you to give up this idea as soon as possible."

"Oh why?"

Lu Ping soon found out why.

There is a pool of water deep in the cave, which contains a large amount of drinkable fresh water. I think the drinking water that Yin Feng and Elder Xuan have been using for their daily lives over the years comes from here.

The source of the water is a hole that is only half the size of a human head. An adult cannot get in at all. Even those tomb robbers who have mastered the art of shrinking bones and are the best at digging holes may not be able to dig out.

You know, this place is located at the bottom of the Hell Rock Valley. The rocks accumulated on the top may be thousands of meters high. It is undoubtedly a pipe dream for ordinary people to dig them out.

Yin Feng said to the hole: "Elder Xuan said that the water in this cave flows down from the ground. Because it is filtered through layers of rocks, it is clean enough."

"Isn't it just groundwater in the karst area? I've seen it in a book!"
