Chapter 1641 Self-destruction device

Since Adas said that gods who interfered too much in the mortal world would not have a good end, Li Chengxi also felt that it was better to believe it than not to believe it. He did not want to be like Kronos, the god of time, who died less than a hundred years after taking office.

Therefore, Li Chengxi's direct interference during this period was very rare. Even if he took action, he tried to keep it within the time of the advent of the saint, which required the consumption of less than 200,000 faith points.

The believers of the Demon King Cult understood this quite well, because most gods were similar.

When the religion was first promoted, miracles were frequently displayed. When the church was on the right track, miracles would be much less. This was a standard operation.

If it was the previous Li Chengxi, the two soul judges would be killed by him the moment they appeared, after all, his ability to interfere in the demon domain was very strong.

But now Li Chengxi, who tried not to interfere as much as possible, could only see if Aoerdai and the others could deal with it. If not, he would take action himself.

When the three saw that the soul judges had turned into .zip, they were relieved and almost sat on the ground.

Aoerdai also waved her hand diagonally upward, roughly expressing her gratitude.

——Although the direction of her wave was opposite to the direction Li Chengxi was observing.

Running fast consumes physical strength, and using magic does not only consume magic power. Continuously using high-level spells also greatly consumes Aoerdai's physical strength. The three of them sat on the ground and planned to take a rest.

Anyway, the only thing left was to return the original route, which was not a big problem.

But just after the three of them sat down, it was only a few seconds, and Nimia suddenly sniffed:

"Do you smell a very pungent smell?"

"It's the body odor of the devil, they smell of sulfur."

The abyss is like this, the air smells like rotten eggs, and the devil's blood also has a particularly strong smell of sulfur.

Aoerdai's statement convinced Nimia, but she was still a little uneasy.

Then she said:

"In addition to the smell, why do I feel that the temperature seems to be getting hotter and hotter?"

The duration of endurance elemental damage has long passed, and the sensitivity to temperature has restarted.

At first, both Orde and Zora thought it was Nimia's illusion, but soon, they also felt the temperature rising rapidly.

This was obviously not a good sign.

The three of them stood up quickly, looking past the statues of the seven apostles and looking in the direction they came from.

They saw a large piece of lava and molten iron mixture flashing a dazzling red light in the dark, squeezing along the passage like a sewage pipe, and when the three saw it, it had already erupted from the passage on the other side.

Thanks to the statues of the seven apostles, otherwise the three of them would have been covered in lava.

"Why is the lava flowing over here!"

The three of them jumped up and ran away.

Just now, when they left the deepest room, there was a violent vibration. At that time, they wondered that the soul judgement demon should not have such a big movement. Now they know what the vibration is.

That is the movement of lava erupting in the distance!

This is actually Orde's fault.

Once the lich's life box is put down, it will not be easily moved most of the time.

If the time comes for the lich to take the life box, there are generally only two situations.

Either the lich planned to move to another place, or the lich planned to take the phylactery and escape.

No matter which of the two situations, the original place of residence is no longer valuable to the lich.

So it is very certain that the lich set a spell on the phylactery that "the self-destruction program will be activated when leaving the room".

Whether it is the soul judge or the sudden eruption of magma, they are all part of the self-destruction program.

If Alde destroyed the phylactery in the room, the self-destruction program might not be activated, but she had to take it back to study it carefully, and it was triggered.

So sometimes curiosity can actually be equated with making a big mistake...

Zora quickly re-covered the three people with the elemental damage tolerance, otherwise the high temperature would roast them.

It is impossible to return by the original route. Now the place is flooded by lava and the passage is completely blocked. Unless the three people have the ability to butterfly swim in the lava, they can only run.

So, how about running away by teleportation?

Aoerdai is best at the spells of the School of Conjuration. She doesn't need to draw a magic circle on the ground when she casts mass teleportation. She can just draw a circle and the three of them can go home together.

For example, when they went to find the Demon King's Ring last time, it was Aoerdai who used mass teleportation to take Zora and Nimia to the Academic City first.

That's true, but there is a problem.

The influence of the dimensional anchor is still there.

The dimensional anchor will block all spatial teleportation within a certain range, regardless of whether it is enemy or friend. What's more, even the caster himself cannot cancel this move, and must wait for the duration of the dimensional anchor to end.

There is no time to wait now!

Although it's very stupid, there is no need to panic at this time.

"We just need to run out of the range of the dimensional anchor, about 40 to 50 meters, and then I will use mass teleportation to take us back."

After all, the effect of the dimensional anchor is only effective within a certain range, and it can be teleported freely beyond the range.

However, when the three ran into the passage, they also saw the dazzling red magma gushing out at the end of the passage.

That was coming from the direction of the alchemical biological assembly workshop. The golems and puppets working there must have been submerged in an instant.

But that was not important. What was important was that Aoerdai and the others were now stuck in a dilemma.

There was lava in front and behind, and probably because of the high pressure, the lava was moving very fast. Although it was not as fast as a flood, it was much faster than running.

What was even more unfortunate was that they just didn't have time to run out of the range of the dimensional anchor and were trapped in place.

"What should we do now!"

"Here, follow me!"

Ordai made a spellcasting gesture and then slapped the wall.

The rock wall suddenly cracked, revealing a cave about five meters deep, enough for two people to walk side by side.

This was not a secret passage, but something Ordai had just dug out.

As mentioned before, the entire underground palace was actually built by an elf wizard himself, and a wizard with no power to build such a huge underground building would definitely not rely on digging one draft at a time.

Digging, a spell of the Transmutation School, is not of high grade and is the first choice for wizards to dig underground palaces.

A slap can open a 5-meter-long cave. If you master it, you can even add some decorations to the wall while opening the way.

But Orday only knows how to use it. It doesn't matter whether it is decorated or not. Let's run away quickly.

The three people quickly got in. Orday, who was walking in front, tapped the rock wall again and immediately opened another five-meter-long cave.

When Orday tapped the third time, the magma rushing from both ends had successfully joined together and began to chase along the hole dug by Orday.

Orday deliberately made the cave slightly tilted, which could delay the speed of the lava catching up. At the same time, she would occasionally make a hole horizontally to prevent the hot air rising from the lava from causing harm to the three people.

She would even turn back and use the stone to mud to collapse the back of the cave, trying to stop the lava from rising.

But who knows how high the pressure of the lava is. These measures only slow down the speed of the lava rising a little, and can't stop it at all.

And Orday's digging speed is obviously not as fast as the speed of the lava rising.

Even worse, the cave they had just dug began to collapse after the three of them entered, probably due to unstable ground conditions. Rocks of all sizes fell down, and the three of them could only run away.

The lava had already reached their buttocks, and the three of them were completely submerged in the dust and rubble. Eventually, the lava filled in, leaving no gaps...
