Chapter 197 Unexpected Situations
In the damp underground, Qi Hao had already walked down the secret passage, which was pitch black all the way down to the ground.
The underground was a scene that Qi Hao had never imagined.
An entire river! An underground river! And it's definitely not natural! Because the entire riverbed is extremely straight and shows obvious signs of human intervention, unless there's concrete in nature's masterpiece, it's definitely not natural.
Such a large river channel would have collapsed long ago without human support, turning the medical school into a basement.
Moreover, the ground temperature was extremely high, and the water was steaming hot; it was probably hot enough to soak in a hot spring. But this temperature didn't reach the ground, at least Qi Hao didn't feel it in the medical school.
"Why...why make this thing!" Qi Hao still had questions for the bracelet's AI when a bright light appeared in the distance, followed by a torrent of flames! It was incredibly fast! It seemed to be about to engulf Qi Hao!
Qi Hao turned and ran. He wouldn't be afraid of ordinary fire, but this fire felt completely wrong! There was no marsh gas here! Could a natural fire burn on steam?! Are you kidding me?!
Anyway, running is the only option. This flame is completely wrong. The temperature is so high that even Qi Hao feels uncomfortable. Qi Hao immediately puts his strength into his legs and runs away, leaving afterimages as fast as the wind.
However, the heat behind him seemed to erupt, spreading at an astonishing speed. Qi Hao couldn't create any distance at all; in fact, the distance was being closed on him instead. Qi Hao vaguely felt like his butt was on fire.
"This isn't working! How can this thing catch up so fast!" Qi Hao took a deep breath, prepared himself mentally, and then released A Ren.
"King's Armor!" The two were of one mind and instantly merged into one. Then, Qi Hao made a grasping motion with his right hand, and the giant sword reappeared in Qi Hao's hand.
"Fan Yan! Annihilation Slash!" Qi Hao rested the greatsword on his shoulder, the purple and blue flames merging together, and a huge sword aura flew forward, attempting to use its fire-inducing properties to open a gap in front of him.
However, the sword energy was absorbed by the heat wave, as if it were suppressed, only slowing down the spread of the fire by a little bit. Qi Hao wanted to curse. He had just relaxed for a short while and then this kind of thing was thrown at him!
"Let's give it our all!"
Helpless, Qi Hao had no choice but to swing his sword several more times, hoping to slow down the speed as much as possible. Although the heat wave was slowed down, it was soon right in front of him, and Qi Hao's sword was almost broken from swinging it.
"Let me do it!" came Lao Qian's voice from Qi Hao's watch. Lao Qian then jumped out, his body bursting with flames that shot straight up to the ceiling!
He then took a step back, retracted his right hand, and gathered flames all over his body before throwing a punch! "Flame Fist!"
boom!
A loud noise erupted as a flaming fist slammed into the heat in front of him, but couldn't get any closer. Old Pliers felt as if he had hit a wall.
Then the heat flow turned around and burned Old Pliers. Flames that didn't belong to Old Pliers immediately ignited on Old Pliers' body, because they were not orange to the naked eye. Then, they were bounced back by a recoil force.
Qi Hao rushed forward to catch the old man's tongs, but as soon as he touched them, he was burned so badly that he cried out, "Holy crap!" This was at least two thousand degrees Celsius!
But at least Qi Hao was in his armored state, which prevented Lao Qian from flying backwards. However, Lao Qian was now engulfed in flames, and the flames were burning intensely.
Old Qian calmly waved his hand at Qi Hao: "No problem. Although the fire is terrifying, the guy who set it seems to have done it rather carelessly."
Then Old Pliers exerted his strength, trying to draw the heat into his body. He thought it would be difficult, but it was as smooth as drinking water, and he entered the body. His Heavenly King level rose another level in the blink of an eye.
"What the hell? Cheating? You're using it, right?" Qi Hao was dumbfounded. How could Lao Qian, a Heavenly King, still level up so fast?
"I don't understand," Old Qian scratched the back of his head, clearly puzzled. He was just trying it out, how could it be absorbed so easily? And the quality was surprisingly high, with so much of it in front of such a fire! Is it some kind of buffet???
However, the fire wall seemed to sense it and covered over at an even faster speed, trying to devour Qi Hao and the others, with no intention of giving Lao Qian a chance to cheat.
The sudden attack caught Qi Hao and Lao Qian off guard, leaving them no time to react and only able to watch as the flames engulfed them.
Just then, the Poké Ball on the back of Qi Hao's hand opened again, and Yi Yi ran out with her shield in her mouth.
"Bu! (You guys better watch yourselves! Xuanwu Absolute Holy Shield!)" The shield barrier instantly enveloped Qi Hao and Lao Qian, and the flames quickly engulfed them. If they had been a little slower, they might have been cremated in this wave.
"Bu! (What are you standing there for! Hurry up and think of a way to run! This thing won't last long!)" Yi Yi scolded rudely, but Qi Hao didn't dwell on it for too long and threw Xiao Tie out.
"Activate the magnetic field! Drill through the floor and into the river!" Qi Hao quickly gave the order, but he forgot about Xiao Tie's size. The four figures were squeezed into the barrier, and Xiao Tie, who had just been released, was completely bewildered.
"Gold! (What's going on! It's so crowded! Magnetic field rotation! 250,000 horsepower! Forcefully clear the way!)" The spiral magnetic field gathered outside the barrier, directly drilling a circular trench in the ground.
Then Yi Yi controlled the barrier to turn it into a sphere, and Qi Hao and the others rolled directly into the river. The river water was already boiling hot, but thankfully, water at 100 degrees Celsius was much gentler than fire at 2,000 degrees Celsius.
Moreover, the river was unexpectedly deep; Qi Hao estimated it to be more than ten meters deep.
Qi Hao finally breathed a sigh of relief. This was just outrageous! Just as Qi Hao relaxed, Yi Yi bit him and clung to his hand, saying, "Cloth! (You better watch your step!)"
Qi Hao stared blankly at Yi Yi in his hand, but did not stop her, since Yi Yi's bite force was not strong enough for Qi Hao.
After trying to bite into Qi Hao for a while, Yi Yi seemed to realize she couldn't bite through him and said in exasperation, "Yi! (Be careful next time! I'm going back! Tactics Minister! You come here!)"
Yi Yi immediately became obedient, sat back on Qi Hao's shoulder, and handed him the shield.
Qi Hao wanted to ask, but his attention was first drawn to the raging fire overhead. It seemed he wouldn't be able to get up anytime soon, and as for oxygen…
The versatile magnetic field can directly electrolyze water to produce oxygen; another use for iron filings.
"No! We have to bring the temperature down!" Even with Qi Hao's constitution, he was feeling somewhat uncomfortable. It was like a frog being slowly boiled in water; if it was boiled for too long, it would inevitably feel uncomfortable.
“Boo (Then guess who lives downstairs from the terrorists?)” Yi Yi, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke, or rather, she should be called the Tactical Minister.
"Uh... I don't know." Qi Hao was puzzled. Why ask this now?
“Cloth. (It’s the terrifying denominator.)” Yi Yi looked at Qi Hao with a serious expression.
Qi Hao suddenly realized that he could use ice: "Very good, it's getting a bit cold. You must be the one who wants to evolve into Glaceon."
"Frozen Wind." Qi Hao waved his hand, and the world instantly became quiet.
