Mo Fan let out a relieved sigh when he saw the barrier around Lingling. It seemed like Old Bao had given Lingling some precious magic equipment, too. Otherwise, she would have burned into ashes after jumping into the hole, since she was not a Mage. The special glow did not provide Mo Fan with any protection; it was most likely bound to Lingling's soul. It could only protect her.
The fifty-meter-deep Brown Lava was an extremely long journey for the team. It felt like they had just gone through the torturous process of reincarnation!
The team eventually fell into a thick and cloudy mist. The mist was extremely strange; its resistance was surprisingly greater than the lava. Luckily, it did not bring any harm to the team. As soon as they moved into the mist, it immediately cut off the effect of the Brown Lava!
The Brown Lava's heat did not permeate into the mist; it seemed that the mist and the lava were incompatible. It was like they had fallen into a transparent cottony swamp. They had to put in quite an effort to continue descending...
”Thank the Heavens!” Mui Guangqing was in a miserable state, but he was so touched that he had an urge to fall to his knees and pray in sincere gratitude.
They had forced their way through the Brown Lava. They had used everything they had to stay alive!
”Mui Zhuocheng, take out the Scroll of Space, let's leave this place at once. I don't want to stay here any longer!” Dongfang Xifeng blurted out.
”Can anyone treat my injuries? My hand is fully burned.”
”Mui Qing is still unconscious. Who is going to treat your injuries? Uncle Guangqing, I believe it's unnecessary to keep going. We are all worn out. It's a miracle that we are still alive...”
Mui Guangqing shook his head with a sigh.
”How can we possibly accomplish our mission with our current condition?” Dongfang Xifeng grunted.
”Didn't I already tell you? The Dimensional Magic isn't going to work here. We aren't able to use the Scroll of Space unless we destroy the wall of Sarkinite rock!” Mui Guangqing stated.
The team only remembered that after he repeated it. Everyone immediately lost their spirits.
-That's right, the Dimensional Magic is restricted here. We finally found a safe environment where we can take our time and establish the magic formation to escape from here, yet it turns out to be a cage imprisoning us instead!-
”Let's head down. The environment at the bottom is much stabler. We'll discuss our next step there,” Mui Guangqing said.
”It's not like there's a better option...”
”Damn it, how did it even come to this!?”
The mist was still around. It did not interfere with their breathing, but it felt like they were in an underground cave drowned in seawater. They felt like they were swimming around!
”The mist is stopping the lava from pouring into the cave,” Mui Guangqing noticed.
”But it also makes it difficult to move around. I believe the mist severely impacts our magic too, right?” Mo Fan was swimming at the front. He would slowly drift to the top of the cave if he remained still. The rock crystals spread across the ceiling were quite sharp. The mist was buoyant enough for the rock crystals to stab right through them if they did not resist it!
”Mmm, our magic's efficiency is significantly reduced, but it's going to be a lot better once we make it through here. The place we are heading to is perfectly normal,” Mui Guangqing said.
