Chapter 234: The True Dragon in the Deep

Deep in the dim Longdi Cave, a big red snake crawled and scurried, with a man sitting on its head.

"Hey, boy, what are you looking for in the depths? There is a crack in the ground further ahead."

Even after signing the contract, Xin Ya's attitude towards Lu Li was still very unfriendly, at least in his tone of voice.

"I have to ask the White Snake Immortal. This is the test he gave me. I must complete it before I can learn the magic here."

Lu Li said that he had already seen a trace of red light in the darkness ahead, which was probably the light emitted by the lava.

"Learning the art of immortality? When did learning the art of immortality require such a test? Isn't it enough to just go through the games played by those little girls?"

Xin Ya wondered, it was the veteran of Longdi Cave, so it naturally knew all the things going on here.

"How do I know? I'm afraid White Snake Immortal doesn't know what's down there. I'm curious about what's in the Jedi in your Longdi Cave."

Lu Li said with a smile that this was a secret place that was not mentioned in the original work, which gave him a strong desire to explore.

Xin Ya moved forward very fast, and before long, they reached the end of Longdi Cave.

At this point, the temperature in the air began to rise significantly, and Xing Yaye began to slow down, obviously unwilling to continue walking forward.

"Boy, it's too hot here, what's there to see?"

Xin Ya said dissatisfiedly that snakes are cold-blooded animals and do not have the function of automatically regulating body temperature. This kind of place makes it very uncomfortable.

"Go a little further, and I'll walk the rest of the way by myself."

Lu Li noticed Xinya's discomfort and did not force it to go deeper.

After about ten kilometers, Xingya stopped. The temperature in the air here had exceeded 70 degrees, making his red skin even redder, as if it was about to explode.

Lu Li jumped down from Xin Ya's head, "You go back to a cool place and wait for me. I will share the wonderful experience below with you."

Hearing this, Xin Ya tilted his head to the side, "Humph, I'm not interested in what's down there, but you, don't die in the cracks of the ground."

The crack in the ground at the end of Longdi Cave is an abyss-like existence. Due to the characteristics of snakes, they have never set foot there, but it is said that there is a demon hidden in that crack in the ground.

Now the White Snake Immortal asked Lu Li to go to the cracks in the ground to inquire about the situation, which made Xin Ya also curious, but it would not express its thoughts.

After Lu Li and Xin Ya parted ways, they headed north. The high temperature in the air made him start to sweat.

When he got close to the seam in the ground, the scorching air had reached more than 200 degrees, which meant that he had an unusual physique and could barely endure this high temperature.

This kind of temperature is indeed abnormal. You must know that he has not yet entered the cracks in the ground, and the air is so hot. This only shows that this is not an ordinary underground lava, and the scale is probably huge.

Lu Li endured the discomfort of the high temperature, walked to the crack in the ground, looked down, and saw the light of lava coming towards his face.

It was a river made of lava, winding like a hellfire, red as blood, but flashing with the yellow light of sulfur.

The hot magma coursed through the stone walls, its sound was like thunder, as if a giant beast was roaring underground, waves of heat hit his face, and the air was filled with the pungent smell of sulfur, making Lu Li hold his breath involuntarily.

The magma flows slowly, and occasionally liquid rocks fall from high places, splashing out strings of sparks, like fireworks blooming in the night sky.

It's a pity that only he can appreciate such a wonderful sight.

In this magnificent lava river, Lu Li glanced around and discovered an unusual place.

That is, to the naked eye, this magma river is flowing backwards, not from high to low, but from low to high.

Although Lu Li was not a very knowledgeable person, he knew that fluids flowed downwards under the influence of gravity. If something abnormal happened, there must be a third force at work.

The strange phenomenon of the magma river aroused his curiosity, and he decided to follow the direction of the river and take a look upstream.

During the march, Lu Li stopped several times to rest due to the high temperature, feeling that this place was really not for people.

No wonder Ryūchi Cave never knew what was going on here. Snake creatures probably couldn't stand the environment here, and even powerful ninjas couldn't survive here.

He has a high physical attribute, and the armor determines that this high temperature is a kind of magic damage, which reduces some of the negative effects caused by the high temperature so that he can stay here.

Even so, he couldn't stay here for a long time. Lu Li determined that his maximum activity time here was two hours. If he exceeded this time, he might suffer from 'heatstroke'

If he jumped into the cracks in the ground and came into contact with higher temperatures, he might not be able to hold on for even a few minutes.

It can only be said that his physical attributes are not high enough, and he has not yet mastered his domineering skills. If his weapon color and physical fitness can be stronger, I believe that even bathing in magma will not be a problem.

About an hour later, just when Lu Li was about to turn back and tell the White Snake Immortal what was happening here, he found that there was no road ahead.

Lu Li arrived at the uppermost point, and what he saw was no longer an endless river of magma, but a dark red rock wall. The magma flowed upstream, and when it reached the rock wall, it seemed to be absorbed by some kind of force.

Lu Li thought for a moment and decided to take the risk to go take a look. He wrapped his body with the strongest flow of cherry blossoms and jumped down from the seam in the ground on Shunpo.

When he came to the rock wall, the temperature around him was already approaching a thousand degrees. This high temperature was unbearable even if he drove his clothes. The edges of his coat had begun to curl due to the high temperature.

Lu Li didn't dare to delay, so he carefully explored the rock wall, and finally saw a round thing in the place where the magma was surging below.

Lu Li was stunned for a moment, endured the discomfort of the high temperature, and continued downward, using a blast of palm wind to push back part of the magma, and then he could see clearly what it was.

It was a crimson oval ball with scarlet threads covering its surface. Judging from its appearance, Lu Li thought it looked like an... egg.

Egg?

An egg buried at the end of a river of lava? It should have been roasted long ago, right?

But it doesn't look like it has been roasted. Instead, it is still absorbing the lava. I don't know why, but it swallows up all the material and energy of the lava. This powerful swallowing force can actually drive the entire magma river.

For a moment, Lu Li instinctively retreated some distance. You must know that he was traveling very fast, and the magma river stretched hundreds of miles.

How powerful is the swallowing power of an egg that can cause the reverse flow of such a long river? That simply violated the basic laws of physics that he knew. Even if extraordinary power was involved, it was definitely a biological energy level beyond his knowledge.

At this time, Lu Li thought of the name of Longdi Cave, and he was thinking, could this really be a dragon egg?

When he thought of this, Lu Li suddenly felt itchy and wanted to find out what this thing was.

He carefully descended again, pushed away part of the magma with the wind of his palm, approached the egg, and slowly stretched out his hand.

He didn't want to take this thing away, but he at least wanted to use the identification function to take a look and know what it was.

[Warning, the Pioneer has entered the hidden map and is trying to awaken the Nirvana Flame Dragon! 】

Just when Lu Li's hand touched the dragon egg, the serious warning sound from the final space sounded in his ears, causing Lu Li to quickly withdraw his hand.

He frowned as he rose. This was the first time he had encountered such a situation. The final space would specifically remind him. It was not as if he was considering his life safety, but because he was worried about something else.

Although Lu Li was very curious and wanted to take the egg away, he knew that the guy who even had to remind the terminal space was definitely not simple. It would be too risky to do these things with his current strength.

Lu Li secretly made a note of the dragon egg in his mind, hoping to get rid of it the next time he came to Naruto World.

Just as Lu Li was about to retreat and complete the White Snake Immortal's trial, he suddenly discovered some patterns exposed on the other side of the rock wall that was struck by lava.

Curious, Lu Li walked over with a quick step, pushed away some lava, and saw clearly what was on the rock wall.

They were some comic strips and ancient characters that he couldn't understand. The comic strips showed the image of a real dragon that was common among Chinese people, spitting out flames and soaring into the sky to fly to the stars.

There were some illustrations at the back, which Lu Li thought were some kind of inheritance, but he couldn't read the words, so he didn't know the specific contents.

The temperature here is too high, and even the extremely high-quality pads in Endgame Space cannot be used. Lu Li can only use the thunder from the Thunder God Fruit to cover the rock wall and create a thunder net in the form of rubbings. .

Afterwards, Lu Li quickly stood up and returned to the crack in the ground. He heated up the thunder net and printed it on a new rock, copying the content of the rock wall below.

You can take pictures with the pad in the final space here. After taking pictures, Lu Li destroyed the rock he had stamped on and left here.

…………

"Boy, I've been here for so long, I thought you died down there."

When Xin Ya saw Lu Li turning back, he yawned lazily.

It has to be said that the resilience of the psychic beast is incredible. Xinya was beaten all over the floor by Lu Li before, but now the injury in his mouth has recovered and new teeth have begun to grow.

It's just unclear why the blind eye it lost has not recovered for thousands of years. Lu Li can only think that this may be due to the special power used by the person who injured Xin Ya.

"I took a detour and took a look at the end of the crack in the ground."

Lu Li said that he had no intention of telling anyone about the dragon egg. After all, the dragon egg was extremely dangerous, not only to himself, but also to the world.

If Ryuji Cave awakens the Flame Dragon due to greed, it is not certain that the world of Naruto will be destroyed.

If he wanted to communicate, he would just tell him about the strange phenomena he discovered in the cracks in the ground.

"What's there?"

Xin Ya asked curiously. It had lived in Longdi Cave for so long, so it was impossible not to be curious.

"I found some ancient texts and murals, but I can't understand them. Xinya, can you help me decipher them?"

Lu Li thought about it and took out his pad to show it to Xin Ya.

He didn't really want to show the things on the mural to the White Snake Immortal, but Xin Ya had no problem with it, not only because they were in a contractual relationship now, but also because Xin Ya's character was unlikely to talk nonsense.

It doesn't have much trouble with the White Snake Immortal. If Lu Li doesn't say anything, Xin Ya won't inform the White Snake Immortal.

"Boy, you are really illiterate. You don't even know the words."

Xin Ya grinned, seemingly happy to be able to mock and despise Lu Li.

The veins on Lu Li's forehead were exposed, "So do you know him?"

"Of course I know it. This was the original script used in Longdi Cave. But later, the White Snake Immortal created a new script and banned the old script."

Xin Ya said complacently, "Boy, you really asked the right snake. Even in the Dragon Cave, the only ones who can recognize this kind of text are me and the old lady White Snake."

Lu Li was speechless. This is a text that only you two know. Can I be considered illiterate if I don't know it?

But he still patiently asked, "What's written on it?"

Xin Ya leaned down, and the single eye on the snake's head stared at the small words on the pad with effort. After looking at it for a while, its snake face showed a solemn expression in a humanized way, "Boy, is this really the mural you saw in the crack in the ground?"
