Wearing coral armor, Li Qing and Giorno climbed up in the rolling heat of the lava well.
Mother Earth is also very considerate.
Li Qing only held on for a few more seconds. The hot lava approaching under his feet was like the millimeters of mercury in a blood pressure monitor, gradually stopping its upward surge because the air pressure tended to balance.
The magma no longer pursued upwards, and as the distance between the two of them and the “water surface” of the magma increased, the steaming hot wind was no longer as scorching as before.
Lee Sin survived.
He and Giorno climbed out of the lava well that was smoking thick sulfur smoke.
The coral armor on their bodies was already scalding hot from the hot wind. They only touched the hard ground a little and began to fall off like broken egg shells.
While patting the crumbling coral on his body, Li Qing could not help but look back at the lava well:
The lava in the well has stopped rising.
The surface magma in contact with the air is no longer as hot and bright as it was at first, and there are faint signs of solidification.
This was Li Qing’s plan from the beginning:
After the backflow of magma loses temperature and solidifies, it will naturally block the entrance of the cave and form a solid “seal” that is tens or hundreds of meters long.
However, what Li Qing did not plan at first was that he himself would almost be sealed in the cooling volcanic rock.
“Giorno”
Li Qing turned around and said to Giorno very solemnly: “Thank you.”
“No need.”
Giorno replied very calmly: “Didn’t you also save me on the bus before?”
“You know it’s different.”
Li Qing smiled and shook his head, saying nothing:
He stayed to save people because he had already heard the sound of fighter jets passing by at low altitude, and was about 90% sure that both he and Giorno would survive.
And what about Giorno?
All Giorno could do at the risk of his life was just to buy him a few more seconds.
A few seconds
Giorno didn’t have super hearing, so how could he know how many seconds more Lee Sin would have to live to escape from the perception range of Meatloaf?
He has no ability to predict the future, so how does he know that if he buys a few more seconds, the rising magma will stop in time?
Of course Giorno can’t know this.
He was just using his own life as a bargaining chip, relying on that weak and uncertain hope to win back Li Qing’s life from the God of Death.
“Thank you.”
Li Qing could only use his most sincere voice to once again thank this young man with a golden spirit.
“Yeah.”
This time, Giorno calmly accepted Li Sin’s thanks.
But he didn’t waste any more time on this:
“Now is not the time to talk about this.”
“Hurry up and seal the entrance of the cave completely, otherwise when the American army arrives, they will definitely be interested in this big hole with sulfur smoke coming out.”
Giorno shrugged helplessly:
“You know, like a Hollywood movie”
“Whether it’s an alien, a monster, or a Predator, these Americans always like to dig out weird things in weird places.”
As he said that, he ordered Gold Experience to seal the hole:
“Wood big wood big wood big wood big!”
The golden fist shadow continuously hammered the ground, giving birth to countless thick and tough plant roots.
These roots grew and spread downward along the rock wall of the cave entrance, and soon connected and intertwined with each other, forming a huge “cork” several meters long, which connected the lava that had not yet completely cooled down. The entrance to the well was completely blocked.
Li Qing didn’t hesitate when he saw this.
He seized the time to move the earth and rocks, and covered the eye-catching wooden plug with a thick layer of soil and broken asphalt blocks, trying to make it look no different from other damaged roads.
The amount of this project is not small. Fortunately, Li Qing did not spend much time sealing the meat block before, and now there is still a full minute for him and Giorno to use for construction.
“Right”
While driving the golden experience to help Li Qing fill the soil, Giorno asked with some concern:
“What happened to that piece of meat? Is it dead?”
“Not dead.”
Li Qing shook his head with lingering fear:
“This monster won’t die even if it’s soaked in lava. I can’t find any way to kill it.”
“Fortunately it has been completely sealed underground now, as long as you don’t”
“Forget it”
He swallowed the words abruptly: “You can’t set the flag at this time.”
“That’s good.” Giorno nodded, but his expression was still solemn: “But if I guessed correctly, the matter is not over yet, right?”
There was no way Li Sin would provoke such a monster for no reason.
So Giorno knew that there would definitely be more difficult troubles behind this matter.
“Speaking of this haha.”
Li Qing smiled:
“I can’t explain it in one or two sentences, but what I can tell you is that this matter has something to do with your dream.”
“It has something to do with my dream?” Giorno was a little confused.
“Don’t you want to become a gangster superstar?” Li Qing said mysteriously: “Does the passion organization know?”
“Of course I know.”
Giorno replied seriously: “My dream is to become a gangster superstar, so how could I not know about this top gangster who rules the entire Italy?”
“Don’t hide the truth”
Li Qing said in a slightly exaggerated tone:
“I just met with the boss of the passion organization this morning, and then that gutter rat who dared not meet people has been chasing me since morning until now.”
“So”
“I’m going to kill him and destroy this gang at the same time.”
“Oh” Giorno nodded thoughtfully: “So that’s it.”
“”Li Qing was silent for a while, and asked with some disappointment: “Aren’t you surprised?”
“Surprised?”
Giorno gave Li Qing a speechless look:
“Having seen a monster like that just now, I will believe you even if you say you have provoked aliens.”
“But”
He gently rubbed his chin, his eyes bright:
“I once collected information about the mafia in advance for my dream. What concerned me the most was the man who would definitely become my enemy in the future and hinder me from realizing my dream, that is, the boss of the Passion organization. ”
“It is said that he is an extremely mysterious and invincible man.”
“He has perfectly hidden himself under the mask of darkness and terror. So far, all the disobedient people who have tried to find out his intelligence have gone to meet God in misery.”
“And you”
Giorno paused slightly:
“You were able to fight that man head-on without dying, and even escaped here safe and sound.”
“That is to say, no matter how much, you must have information about him!”
As he spoke, his usually calm tone became excited:
“You have unveiled a corner of the boss’s mystery, and you have almost shattered his invincibility myth!”
“Without a doubt”
“This is an opportunity, an excellent opportunity to completely defeat the boss, take over the passion organization, and become a ‘gang-star’!”
“Li Qing”
Giorno looked at Li Qing with his deep blue eyes, his eyes flashing with determination:
“To realize your dream, I will go with you!”
“Um?”
Li Qing was slightly surprised: “I haven’t said I want to invite you to help, how did you know?”
“Do you still need to ask?”
Giorno extended his hand to Lee Sin:
“We have only known each other for less than twenty minutes, and the identity of the boss is Italy’s most terrifying secret. Anyone who knows the boss’s information will be involved in danger.”
“If you have no intention of asking me for help, why would you explain such a sensitive matter to me, a ’13-year-old kid who met by chance’?”
“Hahaha.”
“Talk to smart people and you’ll save your worries.”
Hearing this, Li Qing laughed heartily.
Following the covenant to “save the world” not long ago, he once again held Giorno’s hand tightly:
“Okay, Giorno Giovanna”
“Let’s smash the boss’s head together!”
