Mo Wen shook his head inwardly, wondering why he was overthinking things. He would understand everything in due time. His only thought now was to safely exit this forest. As for whether Xiao Hei would harm him, he no longer had such concerns. Throughout their journey, he kept an eye on Xiao Hei, but his current perception abilities were still quite limited, preventing him from noticing any changes in Xiao Hei. At that moment, Xiao Hei was absorbing Fire Spirit Power at an increasing speed, while the Fire Principle within its Bloodline continued to accumulate.
They walked intermittently, and Mo Wen had lost track of how far they had gone. In this underground world devoid of day and night, with only lava surrounding them, his sense of time had long since faded. The journey was not monotonous; they encountered several battles and collected some herbs and materials, but they had not come across anything of high value since then. Mo Wen noticed that Xiao Hei, who had been leading the way ahead, seemed increasingly excited as if it had discovered something. However, after a thorough investigation, Mo Wen found nothing.
Eventually, the path came to an end. The Lava River disappeared here, completely sinking underground. In front of them stood a stone wall with no other features in sight. The wall blocked the cave that was over ten zhang high and nearly twenty to thirty zhang wide. At that moment, Xiao Hei stopped beneath the stone wall and kept scratching at it with its front paws. Seeing Xiao Hei's behavior, Mo Wen understood that there must be something behind the wall. He approached the stone wall and began to examine it closely, but no matter how he checked, it remained just a stone wall like those surrounding it.
Mo Wen looked at Xiao Hei, which seemed anxious and continued to scratch at the wall. "Xiao Hei, is there something behind this? If there is, give a grunt; if not, stay silent." This unique method of communication had developed between them during their journey. He was thrilled when he discovered that Xiao Hei could understand him. This way of communicating also answered Mo Wen's earlier questions; initially, Xiao Hei had been attracted by the light of Yang Yan Gold, then it grew fond of the underground lava, and later it was drawn by something else all the way to this point.
"Woof!"
"Alright then, since there is something there, let's break through it; if we can't break it down, we'll carve a hole through." With Xiao Hei's affirmative grunt, Mo Wen's eyes sparkled as he took out his tools and began striking the stone wall in an attempt to shatter it. However, no matter how hard he hit it, all he achieved was some falling debris without any other results.
"This isn't going to work; it'll take forever at this rate." Mo Wen sat down on the ground, realizing that relying on brute force to break through the stone wall was impossible.
"Wait! How could I forget about this?" Mo Wen slapped his thigh as he suddenly remembered the talisman Old Lu had given him. Ever since parting ways with Old Lu, he had only used it once and had forgotten all about it.
"Xiao Hei, you should step back." Seeing that Xiao Hei had already retreated about two hundred zhang away, Mo Wen stuffed the talisman into the small hole he had painstakingly carved out.
"Boom!" Debris flew everywhere as dust filled the air. Gradually, silence returned around them as Mo Wen emerged from behind a rock. Looking at the scene before him, he exclaimed, "This talisman really works!" The original stone wall had been blasted open to reveal a passage through which light emanated—light from the lava.
Without time to admire his handiwork further, Xiao Hei darted into the opening ahead of him, prompting him to hurry after it. As they passed through a tunnel about three zhang long and emerged on the other side, Mo Wen's jaw nearly dropped at what lay before him: on this side of the stone wall was a massive cave hundreds of zhang high. Below was a Lava Lake spanning hundreds of zhang across; its surrounding walls were encrusted with Fire Spirit Crystals and dotted with various herbs that were considered top-quality in Bai Cao Jing.
