620 The Ocean Depths (1/2)
Mo Wen knew that something big must have happened in the Fire Domain. He dived into the magma ocean to follow the Giant Crocodile Beast King.
Although the Giant Crocodile Beast King's figure was huge, its speed was astonishing. After Mo Wen dived into the sea of lava, the silhouette of the Giant Crocodile Beast King was already disappearing from his sight.
The monstrous beasts of the Fire Domain lived in this environment. In the magma ocean, they were like fish in the water. It was very difficult for human ancient martial art practitioners to keep up with them.
However, Mo Wen was well-versed in tracking techniques. He could sense the aura emanating from the Giant Crocodile Beast King as he trailed behind it. As long as the Giant Crocodile Beast King's aura continued to be perceptible, he would be able to keep following the creature.
Right now, the Giant Crocodile Beast King was in a hurry, so it was not bothering to hide its aura. This made it much more straightforward for Mo Wen to track it.
They dived deeper into the magma ocean. Mo Wen discovered that the further they descended, the more monstrous beasts they encountered. Large groups of monstrous beasts were heading in the same direction as them. Almost all of the monstrous beasts had a common destination.
In normal circumstances, the monstrous beasts would treat Mo Wen as prey when they encountered him. Right now, however, it seemed as though they had not even seen him. They passed right by him, ignoring him completely.
Mo Wen felt shocked. The destination of these monstrous beasts was obviously the same as that of the Giant Crocodile Beast King. The number of monstrous beasts kept increasing, all of them heading in the same direction. In a short amount of time, tens of thousands of monstrous beasts had gathered to form a wave of beasts. The sight of such an imposing gathering was astonishing.
”I'm afraid something big is happening in the Fire Domain.”
Mo Wen was secretly surprised. What could have attracted all the monstrous beasts in the Fire Domain?
Meanwhile, the group from Gao Clan was making its way through the Fire Domain. It had been three days since they had first encountered Mo Wen.
In the past three days, the members of Gao Clan had not been able to locate the whereabouts of the spiritual fire. Instead, they had been blocked by and chased by a few Beast Kings.
Fortunately, there was a Martial Arts Grandmaster among the members of Gao Clan, as well as a profound level weapon with terrifying power. For the past few days, although they had encountered danger quite a few times, they were all still safe and sound.
”Grandfather, the Fire Domain is so big. Finding Mo Wen will most likely not be easy.”
Above the surface of the magma ocean, the group was flying in the air. They made no effort to conceal themselves. A few monstrous beasts poked their heads out of the lava sea, only to submerge immediately once they detected the aura of the people above them.
Jun Wulei sighed. For these past few days, aside from finding traces of the spiritual fire, another mission that they had was to find Mo Wen.
He had not expected that his own grandfather would disregard all reason and attack Mo Wen. In the end, he had scared Mo Wen away.
In the vast Fire Domain, finding Mo Wen again was easier said than done.
”That brat is as cowardly as a mouse. I was just testing him and had yet to do anything to him. And yet he was scared to the point that he doesn't dare to show his face.”
Gao Hanshan quietly snorted. He, a dignified Martial Arts Grandmaster, had allowed a youth to escape from him. He considered it a disgrace that he would never be able to erase.
Jun Wulei gave Gao Hanshan a sideways glance. ”Grandfather, you, a Martial Arts Grandmaster, bullied him. Can you really accuse Mo Wen of being cowardly?”
”Little brat, if you are looking to be beaten up, just say it.” Gao Hanshan coldly snorted.
Jun Wulei immediately shrank back, not daring to say anything further.
”Elder brother, Mo Wen is very cunning and is quite capable. If he dares to wander about the Fire Domain alone, he must certainly have some confidence,” Gao Clan's third elder Gao Zhi said.
The three elders of Gao Clan were all veterans. They were the same generation as Gao Hanshan, and along with him, were the most important members of the clan.
”If even I cannot catch that brat, others will not be able to either. Under normal circumstances, there should not be any problems. What I am afraid is if he encounters the Beast Kings of the Fire Domain or the mysterious group of people that we encountered before this.”
Gao Hanshan's expression turned serious. Gao Clan did not want to see Mo Wen come to any harm.
”Where did that group of mysterious people come from?” the Gao Clan's second elder said with a frown, his expression turning serious.
”It's hard to say where they are from. Their goal is also certainly the spiritual fire. I hope that Mo Wen does not encounter them.” Gao Hanshan shook his head. He had an inkling about who they might be but did not dare to speculate openly. If that group was who he thought they were, things would most likely get troublesome.
The others nodded their heads. The Fire Domain was so large. The chances of Mo Wen encountering those people were slim.
They had been flying on while talking. Suddenly, the entire surface of the magma ocean shook slightly. A beam of blinding light flashed within its depths, like a star releasing its brightest light.
”Presumptuous.” Gao Hanshan quietly snorted. His facial expression stiffened. A jade light flashed in his hands. The Han Imperial Jade Seal immediately appeared in them.
The next moment, a beam of jade light shot up to the sky, enveloping the group of five Gao Clan members inside.
