482 Fright in the Mountain Path, Part One (2/2)

Moving forward in the dark for a long time was boring and it easy to be overwhelmed by fear. Fortunately, everyone in the group was fairly courageous, and did not lose their nerve from the strange noise.

After climbing to a certain height, the gaps along the walls had lava flowing out of them, flowing in the furrows along the path.

The lava served as a light source, allowing the party to get a better look at their surroundings. Zhao Manyan's Brilliant Light was no longer needed to light up the path. The lava on both sides was enough to light up the cave as bright as day.

”HAHA, the Burning Valley isn't as intimidating as we thought. Look at the lava flowing on both sides, it seems to be welcoming us with red carpet and lights!” Zhang Xiaohou walked in the front, enjoying a moment of pride and satisfaction.

The lava's temperature was extremely high. An ordinary human would easily burn into ashes in it, while a Magician could barely protect their flesh. That being said, they would still burn until bones were left if they stayed inside it for too long. Meanwhile, Fire Magicians were able to endure the temperature, but it was totally dependent on their cultivation. Those with high cultivation would not have any problem taking a shower in it...

Mo Fan was clearly not at that level yet. He tried to poke his finger into the lava on the side. It was hot, yet did not pose any threat to his life. Well, it was like putting a finger inside boiling water!

”By the way, did anyone notice that the lava is covering more area?” asked Chen Yi all of a sudden.

It did serve as a reminder to Mo Fan. The path inside the cave was both wide and narrow at different sections, but there was basically enough space for the group. Like the cave of an underground river, the lava was flowing out from the cracks on the walls. At the start, it was bursting out like spring water, and its red glow was directing the group as they moved forward. However, it turned out that the drains on both sides were full of lava, which were even pouring out from some of the sections, flowing toward the path everyone was taking.

”Maybe there's more lava the higher we go. Don't worry, the lava will flow down. There's more than enough space there, it won't block our path,” said Zhao Manyan.

”That sounds convincing... but what if it's another reason?” asked Xinxia worriedly.

”What reason?” asked Zhang Xiaohou.

While they were chatting, Mo Fan stood beside the lava drains and observed its flow carefully. He clearly remembered that everyone had mentioned that the lava was flowing slowly before, yet it was already surging toward the lower sections of the cave. Some areas were already covered in the red lava, which began to spread toward the path they were taking.

It had only been less than a minute!

”I think we should leave here at once!” Mo Fan's expression was totally different than before, his voice determined now.

”Why?” asked both Zhang Xiaohou and Zhao Manyan, who were still thinking of the priceless Fire Calamity Fruits.

Chen Yi was not willing to give up either, as the Fire Calamity Fruits were right at the top of the hill.

”Just do what I say!” Mo Fan yelled at the group, as he had no time to explain.
