Chapter Eighty-Three: Lapis Lazuli Fruit

  "This should be the old nest of that earthworm, but looking at the thunder and lightning in the sky that won't stop, it's clear this guy isn't dead yet."

  Chen Jiu and Li Xinyi chased after him all the way to this cave, but seeing the lightning strike the mountain rocks in the sky, the earth was too thick, the resistance was too strong, and the electricity couldn't kill this demon.

  "Shixiong, shall we go in?" Li Xinyu looked at the dark entrance and asked tentatively.

  Chen nodded: "This place is already heavily damaged, even if it's not dead, there's no need to worry, but I don't know if there are any dangers in this cave."

  "It doesn't matter, the power of this cave is limited, with Shixiong here, nothing will go wrong, I believe in Shixiong." Li Xinyi's clear and distinct eyes stared at Chen Jiu.

  Chen Jiurou felt uneasy: "Let's hurry in".

  After finishing speaking, the thunder and lightning in the sky dispersed. This thunder and lightning doesn't distinguish between friend or foe, entering the mountain cave will also be included in the range of the thunder and lightning attack.

  A beam of light illuminated the dark cave as if it were daytime.

  "Big brother, you really have many tricks up your sleeve."

  "Hmm, just some trivial side door that can't be mentioned in polite society," said Chen Jiu as he quickly walked away.

  The deeper you go, the hotter it gets. Originally a dark cave, it somehow has a dry and extremely sunny feeling.

  "Sister, don't you feel like there's something strange about this cave?" Chen Jiu asked doubtfully.

  "Yes, it's getting hotter and hotter, I'm all sweaty." Li Shimei followed behind Chen Jiu, her body covered in fragrant sweat.

  After turning a corner, a dazzling light flashed over, and the heat wave rolled in, as if it could melt people.

  "That's magma!" Li Xinyi exclaimed as she looked at the deep red flowing hole in the ground.

  This square dissolution cave is about a thousand meters in diameter, with a magma pool of about one kilometer in diameter, it's really hard to imagine.

  Chen Jiu and Li Xinyi have not shed their mortal bodies yet, once they fall into the magma, they will certainly die.

  "Who would have thought that the lair of this earthworm was actually in the magma? Even if ordinary enemies knew about it, they would be powerless." Chen Jiu sighed as he gazed at the magma.

  To be honest, Chen Jiu had never seen magma before in his past life or this one. Only by seeing the boiling magma with his own eyes could he feel the power it contained, enough to destroy heaven and earth.

  Chen Jiu's eyes were relatively sharp and at first glance he saw that in the center of the lava there was a small island about two or three meters square.

  "The aura of Di Ze is on that island" Chen Jiu pointed to the center of the lake.

  "But there's a wide lava lake in between, once we fall in, it's certain death. Brother Shi, shouldn't we retreat instead?" Li Xinyi's face showed hesitation.

  Chen Jiu looked at the fallen Di Shui and felt a sense of reluctance: "No, this Di Shui was obtained with great effort by both of us. If we give up now, it would be a failure. I'll think of a way."

  Looking at Chen Ji's firm and unyielding gaze, Li Xinyi did not persuade him, but instead stared at Chen Ji, wanting to see what method he could come up with.

  "You said that if there's a place to borrow strength in the middle, can we quickly rush through this 500-meter distance?" Chen Jiu stroked his chin and sized up the lava pool.

  "What did Shixiong mean?" Li Xinyu asked doubtfully.

  "Got it, a mere 500-meter magma pool can't trap me, but what needs to be done now is not to let that landslide run away."

  After finishing speaking, Chen Jiu looked at Li Xinyue: "Junior sister, go to the cave entrance and find two stone boards for me."

  "Uh-huh."

  Watching Li Xinyu leave, Chen Jiu's fingers moved slightly: "Drawing a prison on the ground".

  That distant land gazed at Chen Jiu, seeing that he didn't come over, and from time to time raised his claws, making a provocative gesture.

  "This beast is indeed spiritual!" Li Xinyi walked in, holding two square stone slabs with a thickness of over 10 centimeters, just in time to see this scene.

  Chen Jiu took over the stone slab and measured it with a glance: "What a sharp sword energy, Master's sister's swordsmanship must be good".

  After finishing speaking, Chen Jiu didn't wait for Li Xinyu's response and turned his eyes to the beast opposite him, a sneer appearing at the corner of his mouth: "Good beast, this time see where you can run to".

  After finishing speaking, he tied the stone board with a rope and then Chen Ji suddenly rose into the air and rushed towards the small island opposite.

  That despicable Chen actually came to send himself to death, and he couldn't help but stand up. Then, with a flourish of his hands and feet, he pulled at the wound on his body, and with a grimace, showed his teeth in a ridiculous expression.

  "You'll be crying soon!" Chen Jiu sneered, his body suddenly dashing out over 50 meters before starting to plummet downwards. At this moment, the stone slab in Chen Jiu's hand slipped free and landed underfoot.

  Chen Jiu once again borrowed force to pounce towards the small island, his body flying forward, and with a movement of the rope in his hand, the stone slab that was about to fall into the magma was pulled up by the rope. At the same time, another stone slab slipped out of Chen Jiu's hand.

  Thus, Chen Jiu alternated continuously, and fell onto the small island amidst the stunned gazes of the crowd.

  Di Ze saw Chen Jiudeng Island, just about to jump into the magma, Chen Jiu saw this and couldn't help but laugh mockingly, nor did he stop him.

  The water was bounced back with a loud "bang", hitting him so hard that he was left dazed and confused.

  The air, which was originally empty and had nothing in it, now seemed to have an additional barrier that firmly blocked the earth's aura from coming back.

  How can Di Shui be so resigned to his fate? He has tried every direction, east, south, west, and north, up and down, but apart from getting himself dizzy and disoriented, there is no effect at all.

  Looking at Chen Jiu who was only a few feet away from him, Di Shui resignedly lay on the ground and made a gesture of begging for mercy.

  "This beast is quite clever," Chen Jiu praised.

  It seemed that Na Di Sha had understood, and quickly came to the center of the small island. Its paws kept digging, and a strange plant appeared in front of Chen Jiu.

  Watching Di Shui present the treasure, Chen Jiu nodded his head.

  This thing is quite funny in appearance, similar to a mouse, but much larger than a mouse, with a pair of round and thick ears, looking like a koala.

  "Seriously measuring this plant, Chen Jiuzhou's eyebrows slightly moved: 'I said why this small island didn't melt or have any scorching heat, it turns out that all the heat was absorbed by you'."

  Logically speaking, such a small island of several square meters in the center of magma should be very hot, but it is no different from land.

  On the plant, seven small fire-red fruits are tied up, the fruit is only the size of a thumb, emitting colorful glaze light, sweet fragrance spreading all around.

  "This fruit is actually the extinct Luliu fruit" Chen Ji murmured to himself.

  One side of the small eyes kept turning around, occasionally sizing up Chen Jiu.

  "Looking at the fruit, it's almost ripe, I'll just pick it. As for this plant, let's leave it to fate, can't be too absolute." Chen Jiu picked all seven fruits and took a branch, wondering if he could transplant it later.

  Put the five fruits into the Qiankun bag, Chenjiu put two fruits in his arms and looked at Dishi who was pitifully lying on the ground.

  "You may escape death, but you can't escape punishment. From now on, be my pet!" As soon as the words were spoken, a curse was cast into Daisuke's body.

  The dwarf on the ground suddenly sprang up, apparently feeling the power of that curse.

  "Don't be so excited, in the future just obediently listen to me and I, your master, will still be easy to talk to. Otherwise, your life or death is only a thought away from me."

  Di Shui heard this and his head drooped down, looking weak and powerless.

  Chen Jiuyi kicked him with one foot: "Don't pretend to be dead, you should feel lucky to have saved your own life."

  After finishing speaking, Chen Jiu threw the earthworm into the magma: "You be my stepping stone, let's go back now, otherwise Li Shimei will worry soon".

  To prevent this little guy from causing trouble, Chen Jiukou did not dare to really hand over his own life to him, and the two stone boards in his hands were still held by him.

  Every time Chen Jiu was about to change the air, Di Shui would fly out of the magma, drill into the sky, and then be trampled down by Chen Jiu with a ruthless kick.

  "Big brother, what's going on with the terrain?" Li Xinyu looked at the terrain in surprise.

  "Haha, of course it's Brother Chen who takes the lead, one can top two, here you are, this is our harvest. Who would have thought that little island had another trick up its sleeve and produced such a heaven-defying fruit?" Chen Jiuyi handed one fruit to Li Xinyi and put the other in his mouth.

  "Mmm, it's really delicious, but why don't I feel anything?" Chen Jiu said in puzzlement.

  Li Xinyi stared blankly at the fruit, then looked at Chen Jiu's eating method and couldn't help but say: "Brother, it's not eaten that way."
