Chapter 429 No Path (2/2)

And then, Darren and Hailey tried.

Hailey only made a two-kilometer deep hole after employing all of her skills. Darren, meanwhile, didn't even reach one-kilometer.

Darren calculated the power of their attacks and found that if everyone combined their skills, they would only make a five-kilometer deep

the others couldn't hold back their astonishment anymore. When they heard that the Water Kylin had only reached 500 meters, they felt that the depth was unrealistic. They hadn't thought that the legendary beast would lie to them. They had never expected that result, and now, they wondered whether he even reached 300 meters!

”There must be something in the magma,” Hailey said solemnly.

”Darren, why don't you try the flame intent? I think we underestimated the magma before,” Hailey added.

”That's right. Don't laugh at me, master. Try it yourself, and you'll know that I'm not lying. But be careful. If you die, I will die, too,” the Water Kylin said as he stepped aside.

”Just shut up!” Darren muttered to Water Kylin before nodding at the others. Then he rushed into the magma.

Buzz.

A dull ringing sound filled Darren's ears as the scorching magma encased him.

In a flash, Darren activated the flame intent to resist the heat. As nothing adverse happened, Darren focused on diving deeper.

But then Darren panicked when he sensed strange runes engulfing his flame intent. He could not resist the magma anymore.

Whiz!

Darren summoned all of his powers to fly out of the magma.

Once he left the magma layer, he cried out in pain, as well. His skin had been burned so severely that it looked like charcoal.

”Oww, that was so intense!” Darren stared at the magma sea in shock. ”I could only dive fifty meters or so. If I hadn't escaped quickly, I would have gotten scorched.”

Although the others were thankful that Darren got out safely, they were disappointed with the result, as well.

Since Darren couldn't get through the magma layer alone, they knew that their escape plan was worthless.
