Chapter 429 No Path (1/2)

Everyone turned to Darren.

”How thick is the magma layer?” Darren threw a questioning look at Hailey.

”This magma has been derived from the soul refining skill, and it has evolved over a long period. Therefore, the magma layer is quite thick. I estimate it to be about eight kilometers deep,” Hailey answered.

”My flame intent could protect us for the first kilometer or so. Once we reach that depth, we could combine our powers to bombard a vacuum tunnel to reduce the distance. It is possible for us to get through the magma layer,” Darren analyzed.

As the suggestion made sense, the others agreed that this was the only way available for them now.

”But we are not at our full strength. So it would be impossible for us to produce a seven-kilometer deep hole.

Even if we can make that deep a tunnel, the magma would cover the gap quickly and there would be no time for us to leave.”

Timothy thought about Darren's suggestion for a while before pointing out the flaws.

”That is true.” Hailey nodded in agreement.

”Let me try something first.” Abelard observed the magma for a while. Then, he took out his ax.

”Killing ax! Cut the magma now!”

Abelard adjusted the angle to yield his maximum power as he brandished the ax fiercely.

Then, an ax shadow flew through the magma ocean.

Bang!

The magma exploded around the shadow of the ax. Hundreds of meters of rock waves erupted above the sea's surface.

Unfortunately, the attack was not powerful enough. Darren and the others were dissatisfied with the outcome as the hole made by the ax was only about two to three hundred meters deep.

”Hoo.” Abelard let out a relieved breath, but soon, he frowned at the sight. He said, ”The magma is of high viscosity. I may only achieve a one-kilometer deep hole if I summon the soul of the ax.”

”I will probably get the same result if I use the Ancestor Sword Soul,” Timothy said as he calculated in his mind.

The two friends, Timothy and Abelard, were not weak. On the contrary, if they used their top-secret skills, they could kill a powerful two-star grand warrior. However, at this moment, they could only create a one-kilometer deep hole. Hopelessness coursed through Timothy and Abelard at the thought of how far they were from the underground world.
