This final, futile effort unexpectedly alarmed Boluo, who spat out three mouthfuls of vintage 1982 blood, forced himself to activate his power, and doubled the range of the lava.
This desperate move trapped almost all of his teammates on the spot.
The ground beneath everyone's feet turned into lava, prompting a chorus of alarmed cries as they each deployed their life's ultimate skills—be it unleashing their powers or contorting their powerful core muscles—to forcibly leap to safety.
In any case, when everyone returned to the safety zone, they looked more bedraggled than the next. Only Qing Ruyan, the Second Energy Level master, stood out. Her strength was evidently head and shoulders above the rest; her form, unflustered by the chaos, was about to float away.
But, as bad luck would have it, Chen Gu suddenly reached out and grabbed her.
Qing Ruyan's body sank downward, almost falling into the lava.
