CHAPTER 1240: CHAPTER 1241 ENTERING THE MAIN TOMB (2)

Everyone began to rack their brains, determined to come up with a solution that was both safe and reliable.

A moment later, Yin Xilin’s big eyes accidentally glanced at An Yiqing’s small face, and suddenly her eyes lit up.

"Master! I have an idea!"

All eyes turned to Yin Xilin, who smiled broadly and said crisply, "Didn’t Master use an iron chain with eagle claws just now? Master, do you think we can...?"

Before Yin Xilin could finish her sentence, An Yiqing’s eyes lit up.

"Ah Lin, how long is your chain?"

Gu Yelin took the eagle chain from his waist; it wasn’t an ordinary iron chain but made of special material. With an extremely high melting point, it was virtually indestructible. Not only that, but when Gu Yelin designed the eagle chain, he added several mechanisms to it so that the length of the chain could be adjusted freely to be longer or shorter.

He extended the eagle chain to its maximum length for comparison and found that it could reach the stone gate on the other side!

Everyone was overjoyed; as long as the other end of the eagle chain was fixed on the other side, and someone held onto it here, they could create a makeshift chain bridge!

But...

"Miss, this plan still won’t work. The person responsible for holding the eagle chain needs to cross last, but then the chain would be broken!"

An Yiqing frowned with a nod; An Zhifeng was right. The eagle chain had eagle claws on only one end, and the other end required someone to hold it. In this scenario, the person with the chain must be the last to cross, but without anything to secure the eagle chain, a chain bridge couldn’t be used, leaving the person to use the method An Zhifeng mentioned earlier and step on knife edges to fly across.

Except for Ah Mi and Yin Xilin, who were without Inner Breath, everyone else’s skills were quite good. Under normal circumstances, stepping on knife edges to fly was feasible. But now, with unknown temperatures in the sea of fire, one might easily get burned to ashes with a single misstep.

The scene fell into a stalemate once more; everyone grew worried and anxious again.

It was then that Gu Yelin, who hadn’t spoken, suddenly opened his mouth.

"I’ll be the last one."

"No way!" An Yiqing refused Gu Yelin’s proposal without hesitation.

"Boss, you’re indeed skilled, but your body isn’t made of iron. If the temperature in the fire is too high, you’ll regret it when it’s too late. I also disagree with you sacrificing yourself for everyone else," Tan Yulin shook his head.

Others also nodded in agreement, clearly objecting to Gu Yelin’s approach. They declared they’d either go together or stay together.

Gu Yelin pursed his thin lips, his sharp gaze fixed on An Yiqing. Her little face was tightly tensed, her brows furrowed, and her slightly bewildered eyes were full of opposition and determination.

Gu Yelin felt a warmth in his heart, and a slight smile appeared on his lips. He gently rubbed An Yiqing’s beautiful hair with his large hand, his deep and pleasant voice resonating.

"Tutu, did you forget the thing I have in my hand?"

An Yiqing was taken aback, her eyes reflecting confusion.

"The thing similar to yours in my hand."

Something similar to hers? An Yiqing’s mind lit up with realization.

That’s right! Ah Lin possesses a Portable Space just like hers—the Land of the Two Poles!

He previously took her there once; the extreme temperature fluctuations there were definitely not inferior to the current perilous landscape of fire and knives!

An Yiqing vividly remembered the massive pressure when entering the Land of the Two Poles; she almost got crushed by the alternating cold and heat without even reaching the center. However, Gu Yelin, who resided in the heart of the Land of the Two Poles for long periods, had adapted remarkably well to these intense conditions!
