Chapter 178 Only Phoenix Blood Can Save His Life
[Observe~ I've always been known for my aloofness, okay? How could I be so easily seen through as you say? Humph, stinky system.]
After saying that, she turned her head away angrily and ignored the system.
Xie Qijun, who was heading towards the bottom of the abyss alone and resolutely, had just stepped out of the protective shield when an extremely hot heat wave surged towards him.
This heat wave seemed to come from the depths of hell, with a terrifying high temperature that could burn everything to ashes, and instantly wrapped up the defenseless Xie Qijun tightly.
In an instant, the hot magma opened its bloody mouth and pounced on him like a ferocious beast.
Xie Qijun felt as if he was thrown into a huge furnace, his whole body was burned by raging flames. The pain was unbearable, and even breathing became extremely difficult, as if every breath of air was a scorching tongue of fire that was about to burn his throat and lungs.
However, even in such a desperate situation, what Xie Qijun was thinking about was still not his own safety, but Lin Xian'er who was far above.
If she found out that I was suffering like this, she would definitely be anxious and worried.
So, even though he had reached the edge of his limit, Xie Qijun still gritted his teeth, used up the last bit of his strength, and sprinted forward, trying to get away from Lin Xianer's sight as soon as possible.
Finally, when he successfully created a safe distance between himself and Lin Xian'er, his body, unable to hold on any longer, fell straight down like a kite with a broken string.
At this time, Xie Qijun's entire body had been severely burned by the terrible magma. His originally fair skin had turned charred black, and some parts even revealed bright red flesh, which looked horrible.
The whole person was like a roasted chicken placed on the fire, emitting waves of disgusting meaty aroma.
But even so, Xie Qijun still did not give up, because he knew very well that his master was still waiting for him to subdue the Phoenix Blood Essence.
As long as he has breath left, he will never fall down easily.
So, he endured the severe pain and, relying on the unshakable strong belief in his heart, began to move forward with great difficulty.
One step, another step... Every step Xie Qijun takes at this moment requires tremendous effort that is unimaginable for ordinary people.
Sweat mixed with blood continued to drip from his forehead, dripping onto the scorching ground and evaporating instantly; his legs felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead, but he still gritted his teeth and persisted, refusing to stop.
Just like that, after an unknown amount of time, when Xie Qijun finally saw through the thick smoke the Phoenix blood essence at the bottom of the abyss, which was emitting dazzling light and was the most gorgeous and brightest red, his originally dull eyes suddenly lit up with hope.
However, Xie Qijun was already at the end of his strength at this moment, but his obsession with the Phoenix Blood Essence made him grit his teeth, and use up his last bit of strength, dragging his heavy feet, and moving forward step by step towards the place where the Phoenix Blood Essence was.
Every step he took felt like a heavy burden was weighing on him. Finally, Xie Qijun arrived near the Phoenix Blood Essence.
Gazing at the mysterious, enchanting Phoenix Blood Essence before him, a flicker of excitement and desire flashed in his eyes. His trembling hands slowly reached out, attempting to grasp the coveted treasure.
However, just as his fingertips were about to touch the Phoenix's blood, an invisible force suddenly erupted and pushed his hand away.
Xie Qijun was caught off guard and lost his balance, stumbling a few steps before falling to the ground. Unwilling to accept defeat, he quickly got up and reached for the Phoenix Essence Blood again.
But this time, he still failed to achieve his goal. The Phoenix Blood Essence seemed to be surrounded by a powerful protective barrier, so no matter how hard he tried, he could only catch a few flickering sparks, and could not truly touch the incomparably precious Phoenix Blood Essence itself.
He tried again and again, but the results were always unsatisfactory, and each time ended in failure. Not only that, the surging hot magma continued to burn Xie Qijun's body, causing him unbearable pain.
Gradually, his vision began to blur, and everything in front of him seemed to be covered by a thick layer of fog. Finally, after enduring tremendous torture, Xie Qijun slowly closed his eyes, and his consciousness gradually fell into darkness.
At this moment, Lin Xian'er, who had been sitting quietly, suddenly felt a sharp pain in her heart. An inexplicable feeling of unease suddenly surged through her, making her feel uneasy. A mere second later, Lin Xian'er broke through the protective shield without hesitation, sprinting downward like an arrow.
Although the surrounding magma emitted an unbearable heat that seemed to burn and melt human skin, Lin Xian'er seemed completely unaffected by the scorching heat. She had only one thought in her mind, which was to rush to Xie Qijun's side as quickly as possible.
When Lin Xian'er finally reached Xie Qijun, the sight before her pierced her heart. Xie Qijun lay beside the phoenix essence, his entire body charred beyond recognition. Seeing this once high-spirited man reduced to this state, Lin Xian'er's heartache intensified.
She rushed to Xie Qijun as fast as she could and hugged him tightly in her arms. Then, Lin Xian'er frantically took out bottles of precious spiritual spring water and powerful elixirs from her storage bag and desperately poured them into Xie Qijun's mouth.
At the same time, she kept shouting, "Xie Qijun, wake up quickly, hey, wake up, you are the hero of this novel, how can you fall down so easily? Hey, please don't play this kind of joke on me, it's not funny at all."
Lin Xian'er's eyes widened, muttering to herself, "No, this can't be! How could this happen? He's the hero..." Tears welled up in her beautiful eyes like a broken dam, streaming down her cheeks. The complex emotions swirling within her were completely unfamiliar; she had never experienced anything so intense and indescribable. But one thing was clear to her—she absolutely did not want to see Xie Qijun die.
"Tongzi, how can we save him? Tell me quickly," Lin Xian'er anxiously asked the system for help.
The system was filled with regret at this moment. It had completely forgotten that Xie Qijun had previously dedicated all his blood and energy to the host. In his current condition, he simply could not withstand the erosion and damage of the scorching magma.
[Host, only the Phoenix blood can save his life], the system responded quickly.
