The first team lined up at the entrance of the temple and started to go down the stairs. Since the stairs were relatively wide, two files of them were able to move rather smoothly and did not face any problems.
But half way through, they could feel the increase in temperature as the air got hot. By the time they actually reached the bottom of the stairs, they were already sweating like an Eskimo in the Sahara.
"This is way too strong." Someone among the team said as they wiped the sweat from their face.
A few of the cultivators who could use the water attitude Qi techniques used them to cool down themselves and their companions, but it was mostly fruitless. Against the power and heat of the Vermillion flames, no common water would be enough.
"Let's just do our jobs quickly so this stops." The leader of the team said.
"YES!" they all replied in unison.
