Chapter 238 Broken Bridge
Afterwards, everyone stepped onto the "sky bridge" woven by the magical Jinqiang took the lead. He stepped carefully onto the roots, feeling the solidity and stability under his feet.
In this way, everyone walked along this two-meter-high root corridor, step by step towards the end of the sunflower field.
However, when Qin Fu and his companions had been walking slowly above the glass-like sunflower field for only about twenty minutes, a hint of unusual omen quietly emerged.
Han Zichu gently took off his coat and said with a frown:
"Have you ever felt that the temperature seems to be getting hotter without you noticing?"
As she spoke, she fanned her cheeks with her hands, trying to dispel the sudden restlessness.
Sun Wu was also sweating profusely at this moment, with sweat sliding down his forehead and dripping onto the soil under his feet.
"Indeed," he responded, panting, "The surrounding environment, even the air is filled with obvious heat waves, as if it is being baked by an invisible furnace."
Wu Jinqiang had already put his coat on his shoulders impatiently, and now he said:
"Well, it's natural to get hot after a long journey. What's the big deal?"
"No," Xu Wenting shook her head gently and said in a gentle voice, "This is not just body heat generated by exercise, but the temperature of the entire environment is continuously rising. This change is unnatural."
As they talked, the air around them seemed to become more depressing.
At this time, Mo Yiyan suddenly said:
"Have you noticed that these corridors formed by countless interwoven roots are gradually becoming soft under our feet, losing their previous solidity?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Liu immediately squatted down and gently touched the roots with her slender fingers.
But as soon as he made contact, he suddenly retracted his hand as if he had received an electric shock, and cried out in surprise:
"Ah! It's so hot, this temperature is abnormal!"
This action attracted many people to follow suit, and they all squatted down to touch the roots under their feet.
For a moment, all kinds of surprised expressions appeared on everyone's faces.
Wu Jinqiang couldn't help but swear at this moment:
"Fuck, the temperature must be around 70 or 80 degrees. It's like walking on a stove!"
Everyone looked at each other, with disbelief in their eyes.
At this moment, Qin Fu's eyes were fixed on the sunflower field below, which seemed calm but actually concealed a mystery.
His eyes were deep, and he was obviously thinking about something of vital importance.
Mo Yiyan, who was always able to keenly capture the changes in details, couldn't help but follow Qin Fu's gaze and focused his attention on those sunflowers.
Suddenly, Qin Fu seemed to wake up from his thoughts.
He suddenly raised his head and gave a deafening shout to the crowd:
"Run!"
This order made everyone who was originally immersed in an atmosphere of doubt and exploration stunned for a moment, and they were a little at a loss for a moment.
Wu Jinqiang couldn't help but ask at this moment:
"What's wrong, brother Fu?"
However, before Qin Fu opened his mouth to explain, Mo Yiyan suddenly realized.
He turned quickly, facing everyone, and said in a serious and hurried tone:
"Those sunflowers were like countless fiery magnifying glasses, reflecting all the heat upwards. Moreover, as we went deeper and deeper into the large field of sunflowers, the heat waves in the air became more and more intense."
Mo Yiyan's words were like a heavy hammer, waking up everyone who was still in a daze.
Sun Wu suddenly realized:
"No wonder these sunflowers turn into ashes when touched. It turns out there is such a mystery behind this..."
Before he finished speaking, Qin Fu on the side couldn't wait to interrupt everyone and said urgently:
"Stop talking! This corridor at the root will become dark if we stay here for too long..."
However, fate always seemed to like to play jokes at the most inopportune times. Just as Qin Fu finished his words, a deep and powerful noise suddenly came from behind them.
"Boom-"
The loud noise made everyone's heart tremble violently. They turned their heads at the same time and saw a thrilling scene.
Not far behind them, the tree roots that were originally as solid as before began to change.
The surface gradually turned brown and then slowly dissolved.
As the tree roots dissolved, the bridges made of roots could not bear the weight and broke.
When everyone witnessed that thrilling scene, alarm bells rang in their hearts and they recovered from their shock in an instant.
Without any hesitation, they followed Qin Fu's footsteps and started a race against time on the pedestrian bridge.
Dezhi, this young child, tried hard to move with his short legs, but he could not keep up with the pace of the adults.
When Sun Wu saw this, his heart tightened and he did not hesitate at all.
He pulled Dezhi into his arms.
Then, he exerted force with his legs and ran at full speed like a cheetah.
“Da, da—”
The sound of people's footsteps echoed on the overpass.
Wu Jinqiang couldn't help cursing as he ran:
"Damn it! If we fall into that field of sunflowers, there won't be even a bone left of us!"
Han Zichu's face changed, and she glared at Wu Jinqiang:
"Don't scare me! You crow mouth! We can definitely escape!"
Just like that, driven by tension and fear, everyone rushed forward with all their might, and every step seemed to be on the edge of life and death.
Their heartbeats resonated with the sound of their footsteps; their sweat poured down like rain, dripping onto the overpass and evaporating without a trace in an instant.
However, despite their speed they have reached their limit.
But the speed at which the root bridge broke was as if it was cursed and was chasing after it.
In less than five minutes, the terrifying fault line had quietly approached, and was only a shocking ten meters away from Qin Fu and his group.
Everyone looked up and saw what seemed to be an endless runway ahead, as if they would never reach the end.
At this moment, Qin Fu's voice suddenly sounded:
"Yi Yan! It's up to you now!"
Mo Yiyan heard this and nodded heavily without any hesitation:
"Try your best!"
At this moment, Mo Yiyan's supernatural power was like an awakened beast, and it suddenly tore open a huge circular space in front of everyone.
Immediately afterwards, Mo Yiyan's thoughts surged again. Relying on his exquisite control of space, he accurately opened another space exit on the bridge in the distance.
Seeing this, everyone did not hesitate at all.
Under the leadership of Qin Fu, they rushed into the space in front of them quickly and orderly.
In the blink of an eye, everyone filed out from the distant space exit.
When they stepped on the roots again, they found that they were already dozens of meters away from the bridge that was constantly extending and terribly broken.
