Red tentacles appeared out of thin air, their dark red hue emitting terrifying fluctuations. Countless red lights spread out, completely sealing off an area of a hundred li!
The trees that Erha had just summoned were destroyed in the blink of an eye, leaving the entire mountaintop bare, with not a single plant remaining. Erha was firmly trapped!
Both of the little guys sensed that something terrible was happening!
Xiaohei was still okay; if he couldn't overpower them, he could just quickly lie down in a corner and play dead. After all, this bunch couldn't see him and would never find his location. But it wasn't the same for Erha. He didn't possess Xiaohei's natural Invisibility Ability, nor could he escape through space!
Brain Deficient's strength was a whole realm higher than Erha's, who was in the late stage of God Refining. It was out of the question for Erha to deal with him.
By now, the entire space had been sealed off. All the visible plants had been eliminated, with even the mountains near the caves being directly demolished. The boiling lava even overflowed.
The lava, which originally lay hidden under the ground, began to surge out as the terrain was destroyed. The scorching lava, like a flood, spread out, submerging the surrounding mountains.
Dense smoke billowed up, and the air was somewhat blurred by the high temperatures of the lava.
Xiaohei, tugging at Erha's ear, urged him to run into the lava below. Erha hesitated—the lava wasn't a joke. If he jumped in, he'd be reduced to ashes. Only after Xiaohei shouted that the lava had lost its devouring ability, did Erha react. With a flick of his tail, he took a splashy leap into the lava.
Xiaohei quickly wrapped Erha with breath soil and sank into the lava with him. The fierce high temperature wasn't a big problem for them. In fact, the devouring ability was useless against Xiaohei because he was naturally thick-skinned and could even take a bath in the streams of Chen Hou Mountain.
At this moment, the White Flame Skeleton quickly arrived, white flames steaming out of its eye sockets, wrapping around Xiaohei and dragging them down.
Brain Deficient's face darkened; he hadn't anticipated this move because the magma deep underground was everywhere and complicated in its flow and he hadn't managed to completely seal off the magma below while sealing the space.
"Trying to escape? You'll need to get past us!"
Ri An and Ye Ji, both Meat-Winged Monsters, spat out yellow spring water, surging forth with a foul odor, covering everything below and quickly plunging into the lava.
Now that the lava had lost its devouring ability, the yellow spring water could flow unobstructed like nobody's business, swirling toward the White Flame Skeleton. The white fire on the White Flame Skeleton's body erupted, attempting to meet the oncoming yellow spring water.
White flames and yellow spring water intermingled in the air, yet the yellow spring water had a bizarre corrosive force. It was extremely powerful, swiftly engulfing the white flames.
The White Flame Skeleton was inwardly shocked. For some reason, the lava had lost its protective ability, and he couldn't hold off the yellow spring water at all.
Ri An and Ye Ji relentlessly pursued the White Flame Skeleton through the lava, their speed matching his. Fortunately, the White Flame Skeleton was more familiar with the labyrinthine lava channels. Using the twisted paths, he led Erha and Xiaohei swiftly away.
Xiaohei loudly protested against running toward the blood altar, lest they draw the snake out of its hole. He had been trying his best to call for Xiang Beifei in his mind, but there had been no response yet. If Xiang Beifei didn't show up soon, it was unthinkable what would happen if the Ghost Mustache of Remnant Visage charged into Skeleton Village.
The White Flame Skeleton tried to head to the outer edges of the mountain range, with Ri An and Ye Ji hot on his trail. The White Flame Skeleton ran for a long time and had reached the edge of Si Hou Mountain Range.
He could only move within this area; if he ran any further outside, he would be visible. He had no choice but to detour in another direction. But before he got far, he noticed something wrong with the lava behind him.
The lava seemed to have been frozen, its temperature dropping and its fluidity worsening.
"The lava is solidifying."
The White Flame Skeleton gasped with urgency, the flames in his eye sockets flickering faster, looking very grave. If the lava solidified, it meant that their path was blocked, and they would have no way to escape underground.
Once they lost the advantage of the lava, they would have to run to the surface to confront Ri An and the others directly, with virtually no chance of winning!
The White Flame Skeleton was anxiously considering his options, but just then, a red tentacle violently sprang forth in front of him, reaching out to grab him!
He quickly somersaulted to dodge the tentacle.
"Now you've got nowhere to run!"
Brain Deficient blocked the White Flame Skeleton's escape route from the other side. The red tentacles burst forth with a powerful oppression, the horrific pressure causing the surrounding lava to be squeezed apart!
Erha's tail swiftly lashed out at the red tentacle, but before it could make contact, he was sent flying.
Brain Deficient let out a cold laugh as the red tentacles caught up with Erha. The White Flame Skeleton emitted a white flame, but as it struck the red tentacle, it was broken instantly, failing to cause even the slightest ripple.
