The entire gray-black Magma Flow Region spanned several hundred meters, an impossible distance to cross without the aid of Spiritual Power for ordinary people!
Furrowing his brows, Xu Sheng carefully sensed his surroundings and suddenly discovered that the Spiritual Power within his body was suppressed by an extremely strange force!
He thought to himself, "Even I am suppressed?"
This place was probably more troublesome than the previous prohibitions!
At that moment, one of the Wei Family Disciples with a puzzled expression said, "Then how did the senior brothers make it through here in the past?"
No sooner had these words left his mouth than another disciple ventured a guess, "Look at those gray-black magma, aren't there stones of varying sizes around them? I reckon that's probably what they used to get across!"
"That's right, the senior brothers did it that way! Out of more than a dozen people, only three survived. The rest turned to ash after touching this gray-black magma..."
"It doesn't look that difficult, how come only three people could pass, this... this..."
"Damn it, if my Spiritual Power weren't suppressed, I wouldn't have to suffer this indignity!"
The entire space was instantly filled with noisy chatter...
Seeing this, the disciple beside Xu Sheng shouted, "Everyone quiet down! Now that we can't escape, we have no choice but to push forward! But before that, let's think it through!"
Although these words didn't boost the disciples' confidence, they at least quieted things down a bit...
Subsequently, his gaze held a sliver of hope as he looked complicatedly at Xu Sheng, "Brother Xu, you..."
On hearing this, Xu Sheng merely glanced at him faintly and shook his head, "In this situation, I have no solutions. Whether we can survive or not is up to fate."
After hearing the response, the disciple sighed silently, "Is that so?"
Even Brother Xu has no answers, it seems we can only leave it to fate...
The other Wei Family Disciples behind them also heard Xu Sheng's words and stared fixedly at the gray-black magma below...
Desperation and fear spread across their cheeks...
"Even Brother Xu is helpless, it's truly over now!"
"Such a terrifying Magma Flow Region, spanning several hundred meters, a single misstep could reduce us to ashes. I don't want to try!"
"Not want to try? Then we'll just be trapped here forever. Haven't you seen that the gate behind us is already closed?"
"This is no ordinary magma, touching it means certain death!"
Xu Sheng glanced at them and asked, "Is no one willing to give it a try?"
Immediately, the disciples bowed their heads, silent...
Who would dare to go? Taking uncalculated risks without clear understanding was no different from suicide!
Xu Sheng's dark eyes slightly hardened; he had intended for these Wei Family Disciples to scout the way, but he hadn't expected them all to be so cowardly...
Just as he was considering using force, a Wei Family Disciple on the verge of collapse shouted, "I'll go first! We're all going to die anyway! Might as well fight for it!"
The disciple's thought process was simple: staying here meant death, moving forward meant death, so it was better to die heroically!
The next moment, he squared his shoulders and strode to the front of the Magma Flow Region, under everyone's watchful eyes. But when his gaze fell to the searing heat that was so close to his skin...
He began to feel the urge to back out!
This scene was witnessed by the other Wei Family Disciples, and a dimness settled upon each of their faces...
They had thought he would be the first to bravely test the danger, only to realize it was just a joke...
They jeered with irritation, "He wouldn't be scared now, would he? Hey, I thought he had lots of courage, turns out he's just like us!"
"Exactly, we are all Wei Family Disciples. If you're scared, admit it, there's no need for grandstanding. Be careful not to lose your life!"
"Better hurry back, or you might fall in! If the magma touches you, your life is over!"
Hearing this blatant disdain, the disciple near the Magma Flow Region took a deep breath and, shivering, retorted, "Shu... Shut up! Who said I'm scared! I'm just... brewing! Brewing!"
I'm not like these cowards, right! Different from them!
The next moment, as if affirming some belief deep within, he clenched his teeth and leaped onto the slightly larger rock...
He glanced at the boulder he was standing on and sighed silently, "It seems... not that hard?"
This gave him a bit more confidence and, of course, some pride...
Because he heard the exclamations and praises of the other Wei Family Disciples behind him...
"Damn, I didn't think this guy would actually dare to jump. So fearless of death?"
"It seems we've underestimated him. We thought he was just showing off before, but he really has guts!"
"Don't just stand there, keep jumping! If this guy can make it across, I definitely can too!!"
Even the disciple next to Xu Sheng was extremely excited, "Brother Xu, do you think this disciple can make it across?"
If he really could, then I surely wouldn't have any problems!
After glancing at the disciple standing on the rock, Xu Sheng said coldly, "Just five steps, within five steps, he'll perish!"
If you observed closely, you'd discover that the latter's legs were trembling...
His mind had settled down, but his body was still...
Hearing his words, the disciple nearby awkwardly said, "Brother Xu, isn't that a bit..."
We are all Wei Family Disciples, isn't it somewhat inappropriate for Brother Xu to curse like that?
But before three seconds had passed, a piercing scream rang in their ears...
"Ahhh! Save me! Save me!"
The disciple who had just successfully jumped to another rock, to everyone's surprise, had brushed his toes against the gray-black magma...
Then, a bizarre scene unfolded. The leg that first touched the gray-black magma started to emit a black glow, and in the next moment, the glow spread throughout his body, instantly igniting into fierce flames...
In the blink of an eye, he was burnt to ashes by the scorching heat...
Seeing this scene, all the Wei Family Disciples instinctively stepped back, their faces even more filled with terror...
Choking with emotion, they said, "How... how terrifying! He... he died just like that?"
"After being touched, there was no time to react before being burned to ash, what kind of flame is this?"
"Lucky it wasn't me, otherwise, I would have ended up in the same dreadful state, right??"
"Yeah! I don't want to lose my life that easily..."
Xu Sheng pursed his lips, then looked at the other Wei Family Disciples, "Anyone else wants to try? What if you succeed?"
Facing Xu Sheng's enticement, the Wei Family Disciples shook their heads like rattle drums!
Only one meaning!
Not going!
Not even if I die!
