Brother Seven looked bitter. He looked at the lantern Han Sen had chosen. He did some calculations, and his face changed.
"The fourth lantern? Doesn't that mean it's a death lantern? It was supposed to be a life lantern, but now it's a death lantern. Ten out of ten people will die …." Seventh Brother's expression flickered as he performed a divination. He immediately ran toward the phoenix lantern and grabbed the seventh lantern. Then, he rushed into the tunnel.
The two of them entered the tunnel in less than ten seconds. When Brother Seven entered the tunnel with the phoenix lantern, he could no longer see Han Sen.
The light of the phoenix lantern could only illuminate a meter in the tunnel. Beyond that, it was like the light was swallowed up by the darkness. There was no more light.
Brother Seven held the lantern and hurried forward, hoping to catch up with Han Sen. As he walked, he called out Han Sen's name, but there was no answer. There was no reply, and there was no response.
Instead, some strange noises suddenly sounded from all around. It was as if there were countless demons and ghosts spying on Seventh Brother from the darkness. From time to time, they would let out mournful cries.
Brother Seven gritted his teeth and kept going. He knew the lantern he had chosen was auspicious, but it was the only way he could find Han Sen.
The seventh lantern was called the Soul Return Lantern. When people set foot on the road to the Yellow Springs, they would only see the light of that lantern. But if the person who held the lantern set foot on the road to the Yellow Springs, they would die.
Using the Soul Return Lantern on the road to the Yellow Springs was like a sheep entering a pack of tigers. The sheep would roast itself on the fire, as if it was afraid the tigers wouldn't come and eat it.
But Brother Seven couldn't care less. He just wanted to get Han Sen back. He couldn't take this path.
After walking for a while, the phoenix lantern suddenly turned black. Then, the entire tunnel lit up. It was like the entire tunnel was burning with black flames. Inside the black flames, there were countless monsters made of black flames. They stared at Brother Seven.
In the next second, the monsters formed by the black flames pounced forward like evil spirits.
Seventh Brother's face suddenly changed. His body condensed a purple light, but in this tunnel, his power was greatly suppressed. The purple light was less than three feet.
The sword struck a black flame demon, but the purple godlight was suppressed by the black flame. The demon grabbed the beast soul longsword. Suddenly, countless black flame monsters rushed forward.
Seventh Brother felt bitter in his heart. He knew that he was going to die this time. He could only hope that Han Sen could see his light and turn around in time.
Countless black flame monsters in the surroundings had already pounced forward and directly bit through his purple divine light. Just as they were about to bite his head, arms, and torso, a stream of blood flames suddenly erupted like a volcano, directly burning those black flame monsters and causing them to howl in agony.
The tunnel that was originally covered in black flames was now completely replaced by bloody flames. The black flame monsters were all burned to ashes by the bloody flames.
He saw a person walking in front of him with an oil lamp in his hand. The bloody flame on the oil lamp burned wildly like a torch, like a bloody bird spreading its wings and about to take flight, illuminating the surroundings.
"Han Sen!" Seventh Brother looked at the person in shock. It was none other than Han Sen.
"Seventh Brother, didn't you say you would wait for me to come back?
Why did you come in as soon as I did? "Han Sen asked with a smile.
"I …" Seventh Brother said one word, but couldn't continue. He pointed at the phoenix lantern in Han Sen's hand and asked, "Do you practice a fire hyper geno art?
I wonder which one it is? "
Han Sen nodded and answered, "I practice Phoenix Flame."
Seventh Brother counted on his fingers and said, "No wonder. I worried too much."
Han Sen knew that Seventh Brother had come in because he was worried about him. He was touched and said, "Seventh Brother, thank you."
Seventh Brother shook his head and smiled wryly. "I didn't do anything. You saved me.
This place is not safe. Let's get out of here first. "
Han Sen nodded and led the way, bringing Seventh Brother with him.
Under the illumination of the red flame, everything was bright. But they could only see a small area. Beyond that, it was still dark.
All sorts of strange cries could be heard from the darkness, as if countless demons and ghosts were watching them in the dark. However, none of them dared to enter the area illuminated by the bloody flames.
Han Sen laughed as he walked. He said, "This phoenix lantern is a treasure. It can increase the power of fire. When we go back, I'll take the phoenix lantern and the phoenix lantern with me."
Seventh Brother bitterly smiled and said, "This lamp can't be powered by ordinary fire. It needs to be powered by a dead flame or a living flame. Your Undying Bird's flame is a fire of death. Normally, it should be powered by a dead flame. But you can even use a living flame. That's strange."
Han Sen smiled and did not speak. His Phoenix Flame had the Blood-Pulse Sutra attached to it. It was not an ordinary Phoenix Flame, and that was why it could be used to make a living fire.
The two of them walked forward in the darkness. They didn't know how long they had been walking. In this darkness, it seemed that even the passage of time had become somewhat difficult to grasp.
As they walked, a light appeared in front of them. They were happy, and they walked towards it. They were out of the tunnel.
But when they came out, they were shocked.
They had left the Phoenix Shelter, and they had come out of a cave. The sky was clear, and a golden sun hung high in the sky.
But everything on the ground was black. It didn't matter if it was the ground, the trees, or the grass. Everything was black.
It wasn't their original color. The reason it looked black was because everything on the ground had been burned to a crisp.
However, it was very strange that the charred trees and flowers were still in their original state. Even the veins on the leaves could be seen clearly. It didn't look like they were burned by fire.
It was as if … as if everything had been charred in an instant. The entire world was like a strange ink painting. Other than the clear sky and bright sun, everything else was pitch-black.
"Seventh Brother, what is this place?
Aren't we going to the Phoenix Eye?
Why do we feel like we've left the Phoenix Shelter? "Han Sen asked with confusion.
Seventh Brother brought out his compass and looked around. After a while, he happily said, "We haven't gone the wrong way. We haven't left the Phoenix Shelter. This is the Phoenix Eye."
"This is the Phoenix Eye?" Han Sen's eyes opened wide.
It was hard to imagine that such a vast land was located inside the Phoenix Shelter. It was too strange, and even for someone as knowledgeable as Han Sen was, he was still taken aback by what he had seen.
