Idle game leads to another world.

Chapter 1641 Self-destruction Device
Since Adas said that gods who interfered too much in the mortal world would have a bad end, Li Chengxi felt that it was better to believe it than not. He did not want to be like Kronos, the god of time, who died less than a hundred years after taking the throne.

Therefore, Li Chengxi's direct intervention was very rare during this period. Even if he took action, he tried his best to keep it within the time limit for the Saint to descend, which meant that the consumption of faith points would be less than 20.

The followers of the Demon King Cult understand this quite well, because most gods are similar.

When a religion is first promoted, miracles are performed frequently. When the church gets on the right track, miracles become much less frequent. This is standard practice.

If it were the Li Chengxi of the past, these two Soul-Judgement Demons would have been swatted to death the moment they appeared. After all, his ability to interfere in the Demon Territory was extremely strong.

But now Li Chengxi, who tries not to interfere, can only see if Oldie and the others can handle it. If they can't, he will take action himself.

When the three of them saw that the Soul Judge Demon had turned into .zip, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief and almost sat down on the ground.

Oldie also waved towards the upper part, roughly to express her gratitude.

——Although the direction she waved was opposite to the direction Li Chengxi was observing.

Running at full speed will consume physical strength, and using magic does not only consume magic power. Continuous use of high-level spells has also greatly consumed Orday's physical strength. The three of them sat on the ground and planned to rest.

Anyway, all that’s left is to return along the same route, which is not a big problem.

But just a few seconds after the three of them sat down, Nimia suddenly sniffed:

"Do you smell it? There is a very pungent smell."

"It's the devil's body odor. They smell like sulfur."

The abyss is like this, the air smells like rotten eggs, and the devil's blood has a particularly strong smell of sulfur.

Olde's statement convinced Nimia, but she was still a little uneasy.

Then he said:
"Besides the smell, why do I feel like the temperature is getting hotter?"

The duration of tolerance to elemental damage has long passed, and sensitivity to temperature has reactivated.

At first, Olde and Zora thought it was Nimia's illusion, but soon, they also felt the temperature rising rapidly.

This is obviously not a good sign.

The three of them quickly stood up and looked past the statues of the seven apostles in the direction they came from.

All they saw was a large mixture of lava and molten iron flashing a blinding red light in the darkness, squeezing through the passage like a flood from a sewage pipe, and when the three saw it, it had already erupted from the passage on the other side.

Thanks to the statues of the seven apostles, otherwise the three of them would have been covered in lava.

"Why is the lava flowing here?!"

The three of them immediately jumped up and ran away.

There was a violent vibration when they left the deepest room just now. At that time, they wondered why there shouldn't be such a big noise when the Soul-Judge Demon came out. Now they know what the vibration was.

That's the sound of lava erupting in the distance!

This is actually Olde's fault.

Once a lich's life box is put down, it will not be easily moved most of the time.

If the time comes for the lich to take away the life box, there are generally only two situations.

Either the lich plans to move to another place, or the lich plans to take the life box and escape.

Regardless of which of the two situations is the case, the original residence is no longer valuable to the lich.

So it is very certain that the lich set a spell on the phylactery that would activate the self-destruct program if you leave the room.

Whether it is the Soul Judge Demon or the sudden eruption of magma, they are all part of the self-destruction program.

If Oldie had destroyed the phylactery in the room, the self-destruct sequence might not have been activated, but she insisted on taking it back to study it, and it was triggered.

So sometimes curiosity can actually be equated with causing trouble... Zora quickly covered the three of them with elemental damage tolerance again, otherwise the high temperature would burn them to death.

It is impossible to return by the original route, as that place has been submerged in lava and the passage is completely blocked. Unless the three of them have the ability to do the butterfly stroke in the lava, they can only run.

So, how about running away by teleporting?
Alde is best at spells from the School of Conjuration. She doesn't even need to draw a magic circle on the ground to perform group teleportation. She can just draw a circle and the three of them can go home together.

For example, the last time they went to look for the Demon King's Ring, it was Alde who used group teleportation to take Zora and Nimia to the Academic City first.

That's true, but there's a problem.

The influence of the dimensional anchor is still there.

The dimensional anchor will block all spatial teleportation within a certain range, regardless of friend or foe. What's even more ridiculous is that even the caster himself cannot cancel this move and must wait until the duration of the dimensional anchor ends.

There is no time to wait now!
Although it’s terrible, there’s no need to panic at this time.

"We just need to run out of the range of the dimensional anchor, about 40 to 50 meters, and then I will use mass teleportation to take us back."

After all, the effect of the dimensional anchor is only effective within a certain range, and you can teleport freely beyond the range.

However, when the three of them ran along the passage, they saw dazzling red magma gushing out at the end of the passage.

That came from the direction of the alchemical creature assembly workshop. The golems and puppets working there must have been submerged in an instant.

But this is not important. What is important is that Oldie and the others are now stuck in a dilemma.

There is lava in front and behind, and perhaps because of the extremely high pressure, the lava is moving forward very quickly. Although it is not as fast as a flood, it is much faster than running.

Even more unfortunate was that they didn't have time to run out of the range of the dimensional anchor and were trapped in place.

"What should we do now!"

"This way, follow me!"

Alde made a casting gesture and then slapped the wall.

The rock wall suddenly cracked, revealing a cave about five meters deep, wide enough for two people to walk side by side.

This is not a secret passage, but one that Olde had just dug out.

As mentioned before, the entire underground palace was actually built by an elven wizard himself. For a wizard who is weak and powerless to build such a huge underground structure, it is definitely not possible to do so by digging piece by piece on his own.

Excavation, a spell from the school of transmutation, is of low quality and is the first choice for mages when digging underground palaces.

With just one slap, you can create a 5-meter-long hole. If you master it, you can even add some decorations to the wall while clearing the way.

But Oldie just knows how to use it, it doesn’t matter whether it is decorated or not, just run away quickly.

The three of them quickly got in, and Alde, who was walking in front, patted the rock wall again, and immediately opened another five-meter-long cave.

When Olday slapped the third time, the magma rushing from both ends had successfully joined together and began to chase up along the hole dug by Olday.

Alday deliberately made the cave slightly tilted, which could slow down the speed of the lava catching up. At the same time, she would occasionally make a horizontal hole to prevent the hot air rising from the lava from causing harm to the three people.

She even goes back and uses fossils to turn into mud, causing the back of the cave to collapse in an attempt to stop the lava from rising.

But who knows how high the pressure of the lava is. These measures can only slow down the rising speed of the lava a little, but cannot stop it at all.

The speed at which Oldie dug forward obviously could not keep up with the speed at which the lava rose.

Even more unfortunate was that, perhaps due to unstable strata, the cave that had just been excavated began to collapse after the three men walked in. Rocks of all sizes fell down, and the three men could only flee in panic.

The lava had already reached their buttocks. In the dust and rubble, the three people were completely submerged. Eventually, the lava filled in, leaving no gaps...
