Scorching steam billowed like a roaring beast, instantly engulfing the narrow corridor. Caught off guard, Lu Chen and Huo Yao were knocked to the ground by the wave of heat. The choking smell of sulfur rushed straight to their heads, blurring their vision.
"Cough, cough... cough, cough..." Struggling to his feet, Lu Chen saw Huo Yao lying on the ground, having been knocked down by the heatwave. His heart clenched tight. Ignoring the burning pain all over his body, he scrambled forward and cried out anxiously, "Huo Yao! Are you alright?!"
Huo Yao's arm had been scalded by the sudden burst of high-temperature steam, leaving shocking red marks across her fair skin. Clenching her teeth, beads of fine sweat covering her forehead, she endured the pain, shook her head, and said, "I'm fine, just a minor burn. We need to get out of here right away!"
