Chapter 540: Chapter 237: Rescue and Wushuang’s Doomsday
The forty-eighth year of Longyou, April 17th
Just one hour left until dawn
On the south side of Yangyuan Peak, Yuwen Dao saw over a hundred pieces of Solidified Fire Oil in the package, along with a dozen torches. His face instantly filled with joy as he hurriedly lit a torch and then smeared Solidified Fire Oil all over his body.
Just now, with limited Solidified Fire Oil, he could only use it sparingly on the parts with dewdrops. Now that he had plenty, he directly crushed them and applied it over his whole body. Seeing the white dewdrops on himself quickly fading, he felt a bit less burdened.
"Yuwen Dao, what’s happening inside?"
Yuwen Dao looked up and saw Yuan Cheng on the other side of the chasm, along with more than a hundred people in light golden armor. They were dragging a few big trees, clearly intending to build a bridge. He immediately shouted out:
"Don’t come over! The anomaly hasn’t appeared yet. If you get close, white dewdrops will grow on your body. When the dewdrops heat up and explode, blue flames will emerge. Coagulated Fire Oil works!"
At the edge of the chasm, Yuan Cheng’s expression darkened. He immediately signaled the others, who were preparing to build the bridge, to stop. Then he looked down at the white dewdrops emerging on his arm and quickly applied Solidified Fire Oil onto himself.
"Cover yourselves with Solidified Fire Oil first. Don’t let the dewdrops spread!"
Yuwen Dao’s reminder was obviously a bit late. Not only him, but at this moment, over a hundred Great Xia people by the chasm were also growing dewdrops on their arms and faces.
Realizing the dewdrops would heat up and explode, Yuan Cheng dared not be careless and immediately had everyone stop to apply Solidified Fire Oil first.
"The lord predicted this too accurately. There’s indeed a problem with the Yangluo Base. Fortunately, we brought enough Solidified Fire Oil. Otherwise, we would have really perished here."
Seeing the over a hundred Great Xia people continuously taking Solidified Fire Oil from their waist pouches and applying it on themselves, Yuan Cheng’s face was full of relief.
Just a moment ago at the Hive Station, Xia Chuan ordered him to bring people to Yangluo to help Yuwen Dao, specifically instructing him to bring some Solidified Fire Oil. He didn’t understand at first, but now, seeing the strange blue flames surrounding Yangyuan Peak, he suddenly understood.
Seeing that everyone had applied the Solidified Fire Oil and the white dewdrops had all disappeared, Yuan Cheng turned to look at Yuwen Dao behind the great fire and immediately commanded:
"Use Solidified Fire Oil to suppress the fire in the chasm!"
He had personally witnessed the first Iron Arrow coated with Coagulated Fire Oil suppress the blue fire in the chasm. As long as the fire could be suppressed, Yuwen Dao on the other side of the chasm would naturally be able to escape.
At his command, over a hundred people immediately fired Iron Arrows coated with Solidified Fire Oil toward the bottom of the chasm.
Hiss......
The blue flames in the chasm were indeed suppressed by the Solidified Fire Oil, gradually retracting from dozens of meters high to just over ten meters, finally lowering below the chasm.
Whoosh......
The moment the flames lowered below the chasm, a figure suddenly charged across. Who else could it be but Yuwen Dao, who had been observing the fire all along!
In mid-air, Yuwen Dao’s expression was still somewhat panicked, especially as he looked down to see a few new white dewdrops appearing on his chest, making him even more nervous.
Yuan Cheng had thrown over a large bag of Solidified Fire Oil, enough for him to coat his entire body several times. The problem was that even after applying it repeatedly, the white dewdrops kept reappearing.
Especially on his chest, where he had been pierced by Li Xuantian’s Snake Spear. Although the Golden Sore Pill had stabilized the wound, it never healed completely, and the white dewdrops, clearly bloodthirsty, easily reappeared at the wound. No matter how much Solidified Fire Oil he applied, new ones kept emerging.
"It’s probably a location issue. As long as I stay at Yangyuan Peak, white dewdrops will keep forming. Staying here will ultimately lead to death. I have to take a gamble. If I can’t make the jump, I’ll have to accept my fate!"
Standing on the chasm edge earlier, apart from applying Solidified Fire Oil to himself, Yuwen Dao had been observing closely. He saw very clearly that over a hundred people across the chasm, after applying Solidified Fire Oil once, no longer had dewdrops reappear on their bodies. This proved that it was very likely a problem with Yangyuan Peak.
The White Dew Gu’s area of influence had its core at Yangyuan Peak. The further away one was, the weaker its power became. In this case, he had to escape from Yangyuan Peak first.
The issue was the newly emerged white dewdrops on his chest. He worried they would ignite while he jumped over the flames, and that was why he looked anxious.
"The fire has come down, it shouldn’t happen as long as I get across!"
His mind raced with thoughts, but it all happened in a flash. Seeing himself just a step away from the other side, intense joy appeared on Yuwen Dao’s face.
But that joy quickly turned into terror the next second!
"Trying to escape? It’s not that simple!"
Boom......
The sea of blue fire, which had just been suppressed below the chasm, suddenly surged up just as Yuwen Dao was about to cross.
Not the entire fire, but the flames gathered below, forming a fiery serpent that suddenly rose up, lunging straight at Yuwen Dao’s body.
Sizzle......
The white dewdrop on Yuwen Dao’s chest exploded!
Blue flames suddenly flared up, quickly igniting the other dewdrops around the wound. From Yuan Cheng’s perspective, Yuwen Dao’s chest erupted in a burst of blue flame, and the next moment, his whole body was engulfed by the fire.
"Ah......"
The flames consuming Yuwen Dao elicited intense, agonizing screams from him.
"Rescue him!"
Yuan Cheng didn’t hesitate for a moment. Crushing two pieces of Solidified Fire Oil in his hands, he leaped up and directly embraced Yuwen Dao flying through mid-air, immediately rubbing and applying Solidified Fire Oil to his chest.
