Chapter 551: Chapter 320: Departure and Underground Tunnel_2

Unfortunately,

due to the presence of fire.

The intense high temperature is enough to destroy any scientific instruments.

Therefore,

the only “safe zone” they can be sure of

is only a kilometre away from here.

As for what lies beyond, Chen Sheng and others can only rely on their own exploration.

That being said,

Li Wuji’s figure turned into a black thread, rushing towards the tunnel in front.

The three men followed closely behind.

A distance of one kilometre is not long for them.

Especially when there are no other abnormalities confirmed.

In just a breath’s time,

the four top-tier transcendent beings had already reached the previously explored boundary.

However,

even advancing a kilometre, there isn’t much change in the scenery within sight.

If there’s anything different,

it’s the flame’s color.

Chen Sheng noticed keenly,

in comparison to the bright red flames a kilometre away,

the hues he saw now were somewhat lighter.

But the temperature didn’t decrease, it increased instead.

“From now on, we need to slow down our pace a little.”

As Li Wuji spoke,

he took a technology-packed box out of his pocket.

“In order to provide enough data to the scientific researchers on the surface, I need to place an information collecting device.”

“However…”

While speaking,

Li Wuji looked around with slightly furrowed brows.

Every inch of surrounding space is occupied by flames.

This situation is obviously much worse than a kilometre away,

making him doubt whether these specially-made collectors can withstand the continuous burning of the flames.

Thinking of this,

Li Wuji didn’t continue speaking.

Protective body light covered the surface,

he squatted down and reached out to the flame-covered ground.

At this moment,

The flames instantly soared, attacking Li Wuji’s palm.

In an instant,

The protective body light on Li Wuji’s surface was stimulated and quickly emitted dazzling light, blocking the flames outside.

The two were engaged in fierce combat.

Fortunately,

after several seconds,

The protective body light proved to be stronger, resisting the invasion of the flames.

Still,

aside from Chen Sheng, the other three looked somewhat pale.

Both Rhein and Or regarded Li Wuji as a strong person above even them.

But now, without even facing the Heavenly Person, they were nearly shaken by the mere after-effects of the Heavenly Person’s power on Li Wuji’s protective body light.

When they eventually get close to the Heavenly Person and confront them for real,

how will they deal with that?

For a moment,

the originally relaxed expressions of the two turned grave unconsciously.

As for Li Wuji,

After successfully warding off the flames’ attacks, he took the opportunity to grab the rock and soil on the ground.

The protective body light flashed again,

and the flames were immediately extinguished.

However,

before Li Wuji could celebrate, there was a sound,

New flames rose from the pit that he had dug.

Apparently,

Li Wuji’s test had failed.

The Heavenly Person’s power was everywhere, and even if the flames were temporarily extinguished, without completely isolating the influence, the flames would ignite again.

“Let me give it a try.”

Seeing this,

Rhein stepped forward,

As a transcendent being transformed by cutting-edge technology, his silver-white armor, equipped with many devices to deal with emergencies on the spot, might prove useful in a situation like this.

“Alright.”

Li Wuji didn’t refuse and stood aside.

Subsequently,

Rhein, with a serious expression, stood in front of a wall and raised his arm

At this moment, the silver-white armor on his body split into countless small fragments and reassembled, finally forming a hole in the palm of his hand.

Chi-

Ice blue gas jetted out.

In comparison to Li Wuji’s previous resistance, the power of technology was also not to be underestimated.

Seeing the flames visibly diminishing at a discernible speed, it wasn’t long before only a thick layer of ice remained.

Rhein looked at Li Wuji.

“President Li, please–”

Before the words could fall,

Crack!

A crack suddenly appeared on the surface of the ice.

This sound came in succession,

Next second,

Bang!

The ice surface suddenly burst open, countless ice fragments whistled through the air and shot in all directions.

Rhein’s voice came to an abrupt halt,

his expression gradually turning awkward.

“Chen Sheng… Do you have a solution?”

Li Wuji turned to look at Chen Sheng,

Among everyone present, only he knew how strong Chen Sheng truly was.

“I’m not sure, I need to try first.”

“My authority can’t be used here.”

Chen Sheng slowly shook his head,

Though his arrogant power could momentarily isolate the flames,

this ability only acted upon Chen Sheng himself, and ultimately had the same effect as Li Wuji.

In Chen Sheng’s eyes, there might be another ability that could work,

but first, he needed to test it out.

As such, Chen Sheng squatted down,

But just then,

“Let me do it.”

Or stepped forward,

“The power of inscription has the ability to isolate, perhaps it can block the flames for a short time.”

Or took the detector from Li Wuji,

The holy light bloomed at that moment, completely wrapping it.

Afterward,

The detector was placed on the wall by Or,

Although flames did not go out,

The holy light still protected the detector, not allowing it to be harmed in any way.

“Based on my estimation, it can last for about an hour.”

“That’s enough.”

Li Wuji nodded.

Even though the detector seemed inconspicuous, it possessed effects such as detecting qi content and emitting special waves to explore terrains.

There is even more effect to reduce impact force in larger numbers.

In this regard, even if a battle occurs, it can effectively prevent the aftermath from spreading to the surface above.

“Thank you.”
