A pitch-black cave appeared before Mo Wen, with a red glow from the large cave behind him spilling through the entrance, elongating his shadow against the opposite stone wall. He bent down at the cave's mouth to pick up a stone and threw it into the darkness. A few minutes later, the sound of the stone striking the cave walls finally quieted down. From the sound, it seemed that the cave extended downward; perhaps the stone had reached the bottom or was merely lodged somewhere within. Thus, he could not determine the depth of the cave based on the noise alone.
He did not enter the cave immediately but turned to leave instead. Xiao Hei was still deep in slumber above, and he decided to check on Xiao Hei first. The storm in the underground world had completely dissipated, and rarely did anyone venture as deep into the Sea of Lava as he did. However, after the storm, opportunities within the depths of the Lava Sea had been washed outwards, attracting more people seeking fortune. Among them were those who pursued deeper exploration. According to Elder Zhu, many who entered the Lava Sea after the storm returned after four or five years; some from powerful factions had been gone even longer, sometimes up to ten years. He had only been here for about a year and a half, which significantly increased his chances of encountering others. Recently, he felt a sense of urgency that he initially attributed to spending too long in this dark underground world. However, upon reflection, he realized it was not just loneliness that caused his restlessness; solitude had accompanied him for so long that it shouldn't provoke such impatience.
At this moment, there was no barrier of Spiritual Power within the Great Cave. Mo Wen worried that someone might discover its existence; such a large cavern would surely attract attention if found, leading others to seek out its opportunities. If he and Xiao Hei were discovered, their chances of survival would drastically decrease. Currently, Xiao Hei was in a weakened state, and Mo Wen feared he would only be able to flee if trouble arose. After circling around the island on his Xing Zhou and confirming that his senses could not penetrate through the thick rock walls to find any caves within Mountain Body, he felt somewhat relieved but knew he needed to act quickly.
After spending several more days in the Cave tinkering with various items and storing them away, it was finally time to explore the new cave.
As he looked at what lay before him, Mo Wen's eyes glowed red with excitement; his breath quickened and drool trickled from his mouth. He wiped his greasy sleeve across his lips and prepared to reach for it. Just as his hand was about to touch the object, he froze, and his expression soured as if he had been constipated for ten years.
"Uh... it seems I have no way to deal with you," he muttered as he realized he hadn't prepared any containers for such things. Although excited, he hadn't lost his rationality. According to what he'd learned from ancient texts, this item was difficult to preserve; it would disperse over time until completely vanished. Powerful factions crafted specialized containers for storage and kept them in meticulously constructed sealed spaces. Since he hadn't budgeted for such acquisitions when entering the Lava Sea, this item now posed a dilemma for him—he seemed left with only two choices: use it on-site or abandon it. Abandoning it was certainly not an option; as for using it... it didn't seem like the right time yet.
"I refuse to believe I can't find a way to store you!" He rolled up his sleeves and sat down on the ground, rummaging through his belongings. Item after item was pulled out for inspection before being put back again.
