   Chapter 514 Ninety-one. Searing Earth

   Standing on the edge of the canyon, Lu Li opened his eyes.

   "1...2...3..."

   silently resounded in his heart.

   The dark red sky looks like cooling lava.

  Magma surged at the bottom of the canyon, the air was twisted by the fiery heat, and the rising heat wave was wrapped in pungent sulfur, filling this scorching canyon.

   hiss——

   A burning sensation suddenly came from the back of his hand, Lu Li raised his palm, the burn marks of the inverted pentagram on the back of his hand seemed to be being scalded, and smoke swelled.

   If substantial smoke gathers, a hideous face with horns on its head emerges.

   "You came earlier than I thought... eh? Interesting... You dare to channel hell." The devil whispered as if he had discovered something.

   "Whether you are safe or seek your own death, I will find you soon and take your soul..."

   call.

  The heat wave under the canyon rose, twisted the face on the back of the hand, was torn apart and dissipated.

   The devil's reaction was faster than Lu Li imagined - it had already noticed it the first time Lu Li arrived in hell.

   "25...26...27..."

   Lu Li still quietly counted the numbers, looked away and looked around.

  This scorched land has only rocks and asphalt twisted by the heat, and there is no sign of life.

  The heat wave bakes Lu Li's soul, but it doesn't feel tormented.

   But perhaps the protection of the body was lacking, or Anna and the psychic gun were not there, a trace of unease emerged in Lu Li's heart, as if he was standing here without a trace.

  【Vitality is your shield against the terrifying temperature of hell. The younger and stronger you are, the longer you can stay in hell. 】

   will be in his hands, Richard's patch hat is on his head, and Lu Li withdraws his gaze.

   Where might Richard be hiding?

  Lu Li took a step and approached the edge of the canyon. But the soles of my feet were sticky like a swamp, and it was difficult to lift my legs.

   Looking down, the bottom of the leather shoes was melted by the high temperature on the ground, leaving a conspicuous black footprint, and a black silk thread ten centimeters long was pulled out.

  Skip this scene, Lu Li came to the edge of the canyon, the heat wave hit his face, and the magma surged like a river at the bottom of the canyon.

[The dead will change over time, and the malice contained in the ubiquitous heat will bake their souls and humanity, and those with stronger wills can persist longer, or find the darkness that is not hot There is a place, but there is a time limit... some of them will become the lowest demons in hell, and some will become half-human, half-demon monsters...you can easily distinguish them. 】

   Obviously, the place near the lava river in the canyon is the hottest place, and Richard can't be near here.

  Leaving two conspicuous black footprints on the edge of the canyon, Lu Li began to move away from the canyon and walked in the opposite direction.

   Hope Richard isn't on the other side of the canyon.

   "41...42...43..."

   Counting the numbers silently, Lu Li tried to find active figures in this barren land composed of gravel and rocks.

  Although the canyon was unobstructed, the twisting heat wave rising from the surface obstructed the view, and the shape of the object could barely be discerned within a hundred meters.

   "67...68...69..."

   Outside, Anna's call never sounded, the devil hadn't come, and the first moving object finally appeared in sight.

   It was a thin humanoid creature with clearly visible ribs on its chest, a shriveled belly almost attached to its back, and its hairless body covered with scars, some of which were burn marks, some of which were scratches, crawling on all fours like a beast.

  It obviously spotted Lu Li before Lu Li saw it, but instead of attacking, it followed him with covetousness.

  Ms. Merlin did not say what creatures were in hell, but said something similar.

  【The lowest level demons are greedy but timid, most of them only dare to follow you a few dozen meters away. As long as they are not in groups, they will not dare to attack you. 】

   No second living creature was found around Luli.

   Could it be Richard?

   and Anna agreed to call for ten seconds, and now 100 seconds have passed but the call has not sounded. Although the flow of time is not fixed, Richard at least survived in **** for a few days.

   A few days may be enough to turn a deceased person with weak consciousness into a demon.

   Uncertain Lu Li paused for a moment, suddenly changed direction, and approached the demon.

   He wanted to see if the demon still had reason and could communicate.

  The beast-like demon began to retreat when Lu Li approached more than ten meters. And Lu Li found that it had no eyes - only a mouth that took up half of its face.

   "83...84...85..."

  While reciting the numbers silently, Lu Li approached forward, and the demon in front was still retreating.

   Realizing that this is nothing but wasting time, Lu Li took off Richard's hat, handed it to the demon in front of him, and said, "Have you seen the person who owns it."

   These actions and words seemed to induce something, and the demon in front suddenly roared and rushed towards Lu Li.

   took a half step back, and Lu Li raised his arms to prepare for defense. But when the demon rushed in the air and was about to hit Lu Li, he suddenly seemed to hit an invisible wall, bounced back, and landed a few meters away.

   A sharp, miserable howl came from the mouth that occupied half of his face, his sharp teeth that were uneven in black and yellow were exposed, and the demon tumbled and struggled on the ground holding his head in pain.

  Blue smoke continued to emerge from its body, and the twisted body shrunk and charred black at a speed visible to the naked eye.

   Lu Li frowned at this scene.

   The psychic mostly avoid **** creatures because they are hard to kill without paying a price, and once the psychic is injured, it will fully manifest in the soul.

   Lu Li is not included in this list, his vigorous vitality will even be affected by Anna, not to mention the lowest level demons in hell.

   But it’s not without its downsides. Lu Li's soul is like a fire in the night, bright and conspicuous, and will be discovered by existences in the dark far away.

  The demon on the ground began to weaken until it stopped moving. The outline seemed to have been burned by the fire, and only the shape remained.

   Looking at it, Lu Li was thinking of another thing.

  It attacked suddenly when it took off its hat, did it recognize the breath on the hat?

   Or is it Richard...

   looked up and looked around again, the scene just now was not seen by anyone except Lu Li, and the hot and barren landscape was the same as before.

   But not absolutely…

  Lu Li thought, and his eyes fell on an inconspicuous pile of rocks somewhere.

   This scene can be seen everywhere in hell. Under the high temperature, only stones can survive forever.

   bypassing Mo's body, Lu Li walked to this pile of rocks.

  These fist-sized stones were stacked into a half-meter-high tower, and at the top was a water-drop-like sharp stone piece—the sharp side pointed to Lu Li’s side.

  This stone pagoda is man-made.

   It is pointing the way.

   "118...119...120..."

   At the same time, Lu Li heard a long, stretched low voice echoing in the air.

  Ana's first call came the second minute after Lu Li stepped into hell.
