Yet there were no significant waves in his heart; the greatest turmoil came from this battle. The strength of Gong Gan was indeed far superior to that of the fool and the brute, and the numerous life-saving techniques he possessed truly broadened his horizons. However, once he swiftly killed Gong Gan's two lackeys, the outcome of the battle was no longer in doubt—it was merely a matter of how much it would cost him. Fortunately, the instant death of the two lackeys stunned Gong Gan, causing him to lose his fighting spirit and focus solely on escape. The thin fool could barely keep up with him, so naturally, Gong Gan could not either, which saved him quite a bit of trouble.
“Pah! The Gong Family?” During this time, Gong Gan had threatened him with the Gong Family repeatedly. Such threats only served to fuel his anger without any real effect. Since parting ways with Old Lu, he had encountered only two members of the Gong Family: the first was Gong Junyan, and the second was the corpse lying on the ground. Overall, the impression left by the Gong Family was quite negative.
“Hmph! You don’t even know who I am; do you think threatening me is useful?” He searched Gong Gan's corpse for a storage bag and a storage device. If it weren't for wanting to extract more information about the Gong Family from Gong Gan, he wouldn't have gone through such trouble chasing him down. From the current outcome, it seemed his efforts were not wasted.
“Boss, you looked pretty cowardly during the fight.” Mo Wen had just climbed up the mountain when he ran into Xiao Hei. Sigh, it seemed he couldn't teach recklessly anymore; it was all his fault for leading them astray, and now he had to face the consequences.
“Xiao Hei, give me a Guardian; I need to recover.” After greeting Xiao Hei, Mo Wen sat down nearby to begin his recovery. Maintaining peak condition at all times was the first law of survival in the wild. Over these years, many of his perceptions had changed, but this principle remained steadfast.
“Xiao Hei, did you find anything?” After two hours of recovery, although he hadn't reached peak condition, he was close enough. The two lackeys—one had been bisected while the other had both legs severed—would not die immediately. He had been too focused on pursuing Gong Gan earlier and hadn’t paid attention to them; now they were already cold. Mo Wen believed that during this time, Xiao Hei wouldn’t have been idle.
“Two desperate criminals…” Xiao Hei recounted everything he had learned to Mo Wen. Thanks to his innate skills, he only needed to observe the two men to understand their thoughts; with a bit of power exerted, he could even check their Divine Sea. From their corpses, it appeared that Xiao Hei's skills were not yet proficient.
“There’s nothing valuable in what you found.” After hearing Xiao Hei’s report, Mo Wen wasn’t surprised; these two were merely Gong Gan’s subordinates and naturally didn’t possess much information. “Let’s leave here first.” He looked into the distance; with Xiao Hei’s breakthrough and his own three kills, it was clear that this place was no longer suitable for them to stay.
After some planning, Mo Wen decided to continue deeper into the Lava Sea because he still needed to fulfill his promise to Nameless Town's Huo Lou and Elder Zhu. He hadn’t been out for so long, and with the occurrence of a Lava Storm, Elder Zhu must have thought he was dead.
On their self-made Xing Zhou boat, Xiao Hei stood at the bow. Originally, they intended for Xiao Hei to enter the Square Inch World; however, this Little Guy adamantly refused. In the end, they reached an agreement that after they got out, Xiao Hei could hide in the Square Inch World. Meanwhile, Mo Wen pedaled the Xing Zhou while sorting through Gong Gan's belongings. He had long since adapted to multitasking; moreover, with Xiao Hei on guard ahead of him, he felt even more at ease.
