”He was swept away by the lava, forget about him for now!” Lingling said cold-bloodedly.
Xinxia bit her red lips, as tears almost burst out from her eyes, yet she knew that Lingling was making the right call.
Zhao Manyan clenched his teeth and quickly cast the Light Protection: Rampart without hesitation, forming an arc-shaped barrier sealing off the entrance.
Chen Yi went up to lend a hand, too. She quickly cast the Rock Barrier to add another layer of defense, to brace the barrier further so the lava would not burst into the cave.
It took Zhang Xiaohou quite some time to collect his thoughts, wiping his face even though he was not in tears and casting another layer of Rock Barrier.
The group quickly headed inside the cave. The Magicians who were left in a miserable state by their burns dropped to the ground in low-spirits.
No one talked, the atmosphere felt incredibly heavy.
Finally, Zhang Xiaohou slowly raised his head and glanced at Xinxia.
Xinxia knew what Zhang Xiaohou wanted to ask. She pointed at the Swift Star Wolf and said, ”He's not dead yet… the Swift Star Wolf is still here, so that means he's still alive.”
The group rose to their feet upon hearing this.
That's right, the Swift Star Wolf was Mo Fan's Summoned beast! If Mo Fan was dead, the Swift Star Wolf would be sent back to his dimension. The fact that the Swift Star Wolf was still here meant that Mo Fan was still alive!
”Mo Fan's primary Element is Fire, the lava won't kill him in a short period of time. However, if we don't seal the entrance, everyone here would be dead, and what he did would be totally meaningless,” said Lingling, who always managed to remain calm in an incomprehensible way.
”We need to survive this before we can go search for him. Let's hope the lava won't last for long. Otherwise, we'll simply suffocate to death here,” said Chen Yi.

The pain was unbearable, it felt like his whole body was burning.
He kept on slamming into sturdy rocks as he was swept away by the lava tide. Mo Fan could feel some of his bones breaking during each collision.
The heat of the lava was not enough to burn his body into ashes because of his Fire resistance, but the burning sensation, as if he had fallen into a pot of boiling water, felt like his flesh was getting well cooked.
Mo Fan thought he would soak in the lava until he ran out of air when the tide swept him towards the two-faced creature. However, he could still feel the tide continue flowing down in the midst of his dizziness, as if the creature had left.
Mo Fan had no idea where he was being swept to. He lost consciousness, and was unable to tell how long he had fainted. The continuous collisions had made him feel dizzier, and he fell totally unconscious after a strong hit!

The sun was high up in the sky, right in the middle of the brazier-shaped North Burning Valley with the shape of a brazier. The only fire pillar mountain in the North Burning Valley happened to be the closest to the sun. Not many living things could be seen on its peak, yet the plants that required an irrigation of fire had blossomed vigorously, and almost covered the whole surface on top of the mountain.
