142 Empty
In the end, he did it. Even though it was extremely uncomfortable and his entire body was still aching, Fang Ping still persevered.
It seemed that he was not completely dehydrated like a salted fish.
He turned to Qing Niao beside him. He didn’t seem to be done yet. His body lit up with white light from time to time, and his Self-healing characteristic was still taking effect.
Eh, so slow? There was such a huge difference between two Flame Rocks and one?
!!
Although Andre had instructed Fang Ping not to let Qing Niao use too many Flame Rocks, two pieces should be fine.
It was better to wait and see.
He took out a bottle of healing potion and thought about it. He did not drink it. His body was not feeling well, but it was not fatal. He should keep it.
After waiting for a while, Qing Niao’s body was still glowing with white light. Fang Ping felt that something was wrong. He pried open his fingers. There was still half a Flame Rock inside.
Qing Niao had only used one and a half pieces. How could he have such a reaction? Fang Ping did not believe it. He had used three or even four pieces, right?
The healing potion that he had just taken out had yet to be put away. Fang Ping opened the lid and poured it into Qing Niao’s mouth.
“Cough, cough, cough. Fang Ping, what are you doing?”
“It’s a healing potion. Drink it quickly.”
Qing Niao quickly covered his mouth and swallowed it before saying, “I have a Self-healing characteristic. Why are you giving me a healing potion? A thousand copper coins is such a waste.”
“Wasted? I was afraid you’d die.”
“No, no, I’m fine.”
Fang Ping held the small piece of Flame Rock. “You only dug up two pieces? That’s not all, right? Your condition doesn’t look right.”
At this moment, Qing Niao’s eyes were slightly red, and his body was still trembling slightly. This did not seem to be fine.
“You, you give it to me. There’s still the last bit left. I’ll used it up.”
“Don’t even think about it. How many did you use? Three or four?”
“Give it to me.”
“Red Camellia Snake said that you can only use two at most. Your current state is not good to begin with…”
“Give it to me!”
Qing Niao pounced, wanting to grab the half piece of Flame Rock in Fang Ping’s hand. Fang Ping did not expect this either. He quickly retracted his hand and lost his grip. The Flame Rock flew out of his hand.
“Qing Niao, are you crazy?!”
This was not an addictive substance, yet it triggers a withdrawal reaction? Fang Ping really could not understand Qing Niao’s reaction.
“I, I, I want to become stronger!” Seeing the Flame Rock fly into the lava, Qing Niao collapsed on the floating stone, as if all the strength in his body had been sucked away.
Fang Ping looked at him and sighed. “Sigh, think about something else. You still have Ai Bev. What if you die here, don’t you want to see her anymore?”
Qing Niao’s eyes lit up as she muttered, “Ai Bev… Ai Bev…”
Fang Ping looked at him and did not say anything else.
A cry of surprise suddenly came from the side. “Look! What’s that!”
Fang Ping looked at the lava. The originally calm lava rippled.
A red bulge moved slowly and leaned over.
Then, Fang Ping watched as the bump slowly approached.
Right, Fang Ping realized that the Flame Rock that he had accidentally dropped earlier was floating on the lava. It had yet to sink. According to the protruding trajectory, it seemed to be heading towards it.
Eh, wait a minute, wasn’t this his goal?
Only then did Fang Ping react. He quickly raised his hand. “Summon the Boiling Blood Troll.”
The Boiling Blood Troll was the reason why Fang Ping had decided to take on this mission.
Ten seconds of hot-bloodedness allowed him to roam freely even in the lava.
The red bulge was getting closer and closer, but the Troll’s summoning time was 60 seconds. It was impossible to catch up.
Fang Ping gritted his teeth. He would just treat it as an experimental skill. “Inspiration!”
A white light landed on Fang Ping’s body. The tall Boiling Blood Troll suddenly appeared and fell into the lava, causing lava to splatter.
Fang Ping quickly lowered his head to protect his face.
When he looked up again, in just a few seconds, the Boiling Blood Troll that had fallen into the lava had already entered a hot-blooded state.
A red bulge also appeared. He opened his mouth and ate the Flame Rock in one bite. He turned around and prepared to leave.
It was the Flowing Fire Lava Fish he had seen before.
“Don’t let it escape! Attack quickly!”
The Boiling Blood Troll wouldn’t die, but the Boiling Blood Troll didn’t know how to swim. It couldn’t move at all and was still slowly sinking.
Fortunately, the saber in the Boiling Blood Troll’s hand was especially big. It leaned out and slashed.
Fang Ping quickly lowered his body.
Another wave of lava splashed.
The Magic Shield Characteristic was still very useful. The sporadic lava splashed on the frost set and could not feel the high temperature. It quickly condensed into black rocks and fell to the ground.
However, the others were not so lucky.
Miserable screams came from the surroundings. Two or three people were watching the commotion, but they were splashed by lava and got burned.
Fang Ping quickly looked at the lava. Most of the Boiling Blood Troll’s body was submerged in the lava, unable to move. This was not the main point. What about the Flowing Fire Lava Fish?
...
He quickly looked over and saw that the lava that had been cut open by the saber was slowly healing.
Other than the flowing lava, there was nothing around.
“Damn it, he ran away.”
Two Excellent-grade skills had expended a total of 150 points of energy and he had not gained anything. It was a huge loss.
“What’s that?”
Qing Niao pointed to the side. There was a layer of lava on the flattened pumice. Something seemed to be moving on it.
“Characteristics failed. Target: Fiery Candle Demon Fish, not the person.”
It was really a Magical Beast!
However, even on the pumice rock, there was lava around him. Fang Ping did not dare to go over at all. He was also worried that if it flapped twice and jumped into the lava, it would be troublesome.
Originally, he had thought that he would use the Boiling Blood Trolls to capture him. He did not expect him to die so quickly.
“Let me do it. This bit of lava shouldn’t kill me.”
...
Fang Ping was still in a dilemma when he saw Qing Niao jump down. “Qing Niao!”
“I won’t die. But these shoes will probably be scrapped.”
Qing Niao bared its teeth. It was unknown if it was the pain from the lava or the pain from the fire poison.
He strode towards the Fiery Candle Demon Fish not far away. It was probably a very big fish that was more than half a meter long.
Qing Niao went over with a pickaxe and hit its head before dragging it back.
The fishtail would flap from time to time, but it could not cause any waves.
Dragging him, Qing Niao climbed up. Fang Ping quickly pulled him back. He threw the fish to the side. The pickaxe was already red. One could imagine how high the temperature was.
“Qing Niao, quickly take off your shoes and see how it is.”
The Elemental Combat Boots had completely turned black. They were probably useless.
Qing Niao tried it and shook his head. “I can’t take it off. It’s stuck together. I’ll take it off after the wound recovers.”
The white light of Self-healing had never stopped. Fang Ping did not dare to imagine how painful it would be.
He looked at the fish thrown aside. It was not much different from the fish he usually saw.
Its entire body was red, and there were some white patterns on its body. Its round eyes were bright golden, and its mouth opened and closed from time to time. It was not dead.
A small fireball the size of a fist suddenly appeared out of thin air and flew toward Fang Ping. Then, it was obliterated on the frost breastplate.
Fang Ping could not react in time. What had happened?
“It’s not dead yet.”
As Qing Niao spoke, he was about to stand up. Fang Ping quickly stopped him. “Rest for a while more. I’ll do it.”
