"hurry up."
After Yang Yu finished speaking, he took out bottles of mineral water from the system and distributed them to Lotkar and the others.
"You should be careful too."
As Luo Luosi spoke, he used magic to weave shells around Lotkar, cut open Yang Yu's mineral water bottle, and put the water in it.
Bai Jin struggled to resist the flames, and the flames split into two, forming two walls of fire on the left and right sides of Yang Yu and his team.
Time is running out. If we don’t escape to the entrance to the ninth floor as soon as possible, the unimaginable high temperature will make everyone unable to move.
If you want to leave here as soon as possible, you must pass through this wall of fire that has not yet stopped.
The shells created by Lolos revolved around Lotkar, spraying out countless water mists to reduce the temperature on Lotkar's body.
Iyas placed her hand on Lotkar's back and treated him to relieve his fatigue.
Everything was ready. Lotkar half-prostrated himself on the ground, gathering strength. A gust of wind gathered around him, and the flames that formed the wall of fire swayed in an instant.
The power burst out instantly, and Lotkar leaped forward. Lolos opened the shell, and bursts of water sprayed out from the end of the solid shell, forming a water shield to protect Lotkar, allowing Lotkar to make a tunnel on the thick wall of flames and rush through the raging flames.
Running on the ground that was as hot as iron, Lotkar avoided several fire rains falling from the sky and approached the high wall where the entrance to the ninth floor was located in one breath.
The walls that make up this space are extremely smooth, and it is impossible for Lotkar to climb up this high wall by himself.
But Lotkar and his men had the rapid-floating balloons that Yang Yu had distributed to them earlier.
It is said that the rapidly buoyant balloon will remain stably on the sea surface after it emerges from the sea. Even in strong winds and heavy rains, as long as the route is determined, the balloon will continue to float in that direction and will not be blown away.
Although I don't know the principle behind making this prop, the rapidly buoyant balloon can come in handy here.
Before reaching the wall, Iyas took out the balloon device in advance.
The rapid buoyancy balloon device looks like a can, with different buttons on the side and many display screens that show information such as depth, location, time, etc.
Luo Luosi had come into contact with many rapidly floating balloons before, so he was very adept at using this thing.
“This company’s technology is evolving very quickly, but don’t worry. Before every trip, even if I have no money, I will learn more about it, so that I can be considered a qualified guide.
Flip this here to adjust the target depth, and this thing can even stop at a certain depth.
I just don't know if it will work in the underground maze.
Even if the balloon cannot rise quickly, as long as it is still there, it can reduce the weight on you. If you find a little support to step on, it should be easy to reach the entrance."
Lolos taught Iyas step by step how to adjust the dial of the rapid floating balloon, and also took out his own emergency escape device and adjusted it for Lothkar.
Even without external help, the Shell Clan can rely on their shells to fly slowly. It would not be too late to adjust Lotkar first, and then let Lotkar give her a balloon to quickly float up so that she can adjust slowly.
“I heard that this rapidly buoyant balloon can withstand a certain level of high temperature. If a volcano erupts on the island it is floating on, the balloon can withstand a few blasts so that customers can change their location smoothly.
I haven't heard of anyone using this thing to escape a volcano.
At this point, I really don't hope that they are involved in false advertising.
Let’s go!”
After confirming that the dial was set correctly, Lolos flew up from Lotkar's back on the shell. Iyas followed the instructions, raised her hand, pointed the front of the can toward the sky, and pressed the button for the rapid floating balloon. A red balloon immediately sprayed out of the outlet of the can, rapidly expanding, and a rope grew from the bottom of the can and wrapped around Iyas's hand.
With a "whoosh", Iyas quickly climbed upwards on the fast-buoyant balloon.
Lothkar turned into a human form again, steadily caught the rapid-floating balloon thrown by Lolos, and then threw his own rapid-floating balloon to Lolos. Then he pressed the button of the rapid-floating balloon and flew high like Iyas.
In order to prevent the balloons from bursting due to overheating, Lolos placed a controllable shell on the balloons of Lothkar and Iyas, continuously releasing ice magic to maintain the temperature of the balloons.
After confirming that both of them were safely airborne, Lolos adjusted the dial and used the rapid ascent balloon to catch up.
The Blue Fire Phoenix noticed the little action of Iyas and the others, closed its mouth, stopped spewing flames from its mouth, and flapped its wings violently, causing the still falling rain of fire to hit Iyas and the others who were trying to escape.
Regardless of physical fatigue, Bai Jin fired one ice arrow after another, which collided with the rain of fire flying towards Ias and the others, changing the direction of the rain of fire.
Lolos commanded the shells to block several fish that slipped through the net for Iyas and Lothkar.
The balloon was floating up quickly at a very fast speed. If it was in the water, it would be even faster. After a while, Iyas and Lotkar flew to the entrance of the ninth floor one after another.
Luo Luosi followed closely behind, but before she reached the entrance, a cool breeze blew towards her, and the temperature around her dropped rapidly.
If the tenth floor is a huge furnace, then the entrance to the ninth floor is a cool cave in summer. This change is really weird.
Luo Luosi muttered to himself: "Could it be that the boy noticed this and asked us to flee here in a hurry?"
After pressing the switch again, Iyas and the others put away the balloons and stopped at the entrance of the ninth floor. The Blue Fire Phoenix no longer attacked them, but instead swooped down towards Bai Jin.
Raising the staff and weaving a magic shield, Bai Jin instantly dodged by moving to the right.
The burning green fire phoenix flew past her, bringing up a wave of heat.
Bai Jin suddenly had an idea and used the heat wave to allow herself to fly with a shield towards the entrance to the ninth floor where Iyas and the others were.
The Green Fire Phoenix flapped its wings, and the flames on its wings turned into sharp fire blades, bombarding Bai Jin.
At the critical moment, Luo Luosi attacked again, and the shells with a little water left bombarded the fire blade again and again, covering Bai Jin as she entered the entrance.
Entering the entrance to the ninth floor, Bai Jin was a little surprised by the sudden drop in temperature.
Is this the design of the maze? If we attack here, we might be able to deal with the Phoenix effortlessly. Yang Yu should have noticed the specialness of this place and asked us to retreat here.
Just as Bai Jin thought, Yang Yu discovered that some flames were circling the entrance, which was why he asked Bai Jin and the others to take refuge here.
But Yang Yu could no longer leave this area and follow Bai Jin and the others to a safe area for refuge.
If Yang Yu's guess is correct, someone must stay here.
Picking up the bottle of mineral water and pouring it over his head, Yang Yu bit the popsicle in his mouth and prepared to follow the strategy left in this underground maze.
