In the center of this cold sea of Lava floated several pure white lotus flowers, some larger than two feet across, while others were only the size of a bowl. The petals were carved like beautiful jade, as white as snow and as smooth as cream, exuding a chilling aura that continuously drifted outward.
Watching the flames rising from the distant sea, Mo Wen frowned. The situation resembled that of a Lava Spirit too closely; the difference was that, aside from the heat, he did not sense the essence of fire at all. Instead, near that sea of flames, the spiritual energy of fire was pitifully thin. Could it be a mutated Lava Spirit?
“Boss, I can’t see what’s going on in there. It wouldn’t be that meatless creature again, would it?” Xiao Hei sniffed and carefully discerned the aura coming from ahead. This aura was too similar to that of the previous meatless creature but felt slightly different, which made him hesitant to confirm. Now that all of the boss's beads had been taken by that water person, if they encountered another meatless creature, he might not even need to pluck feathers to honor his boss.
“It’s fine; let’s get a bit closer and see.” It wasn’t that he was confident in dealing with a Lava Spirit; rather, these creatures tended to stay in one place and couldn’t attack proactively. As long as he remained cautious and didn’t fall into a trap, he would be fine. “Xiao Hei, keep an eye out for any powerful Demon Beast auras.”
“Got it!” Regardless, having something to do was Xiao Hei’s greatest joy at the moment.
He anchored the boat on the surface of the sea. From here, he could no longer see the full extent of the fiery ocean; all that lay before him was a patch of Lava continuously spouting flames. He released his Divine Perception, feeling an intense heat emanating from the Divine Sea. As his perception extended, this heat intensified until it felt as if the entire Divine Sea might ignite alongside it, yet he still couldn’t reach the end of this fiery ocean.
“Xiao Hei, it’s up to you to check inside and see what’s going on.” Unable to probe further himself, he could only assign Xiao Hei to try. Aside from being sharp-eyed and having a keen nose, this guy didn’t seem to have much else to offer.
“Boss, I can’t see what’s happening inside.” A hint of worry crept into Xiao Hei’s voice. This situation resembled that of the previous meatless creature but felt different.
This seemed consistent with how Fire Lotuses grew—extreme cold in an extremely hot place could block sensory probing. There were no characteristics of a Lava Spirit here; if it truly were one, such bait wouldn’t attract any Demon Beasts. Although he didn’t know if Lava Spirits had reached a level of intelligence, they would only act in ways beneficial for predation when hunting. If there really was a Fire Lotus among them, it would pose quite a challenge for him; this sea of flames was the first obstacle blocking his path. To cross it, he would have no choice but to endure the scorching heat.
“What should we do, boss?” Seeing Mo Wen remain silent, Xiao Hei pressed for an answer.
“It’s fine; I believe we’re on the right track. Let’s just observe for now.” Mo Wen's idea of observing involved steering the boat around the edge of the fiery ocean. Besides assessing its size, his primary goal was to acclimate himself to this piercing heat.
“Get ready; we’re going in for a look.” Feeling that he had adapted sufficiently, he steered the boat into the heart of the fire sea.
“Boss, are we really just going in like this?” Xiao Hei questioned in confusion; it seemed like his boss hadn’t thought this through too much.
“Of course! We’ll take it step by step; some risks must be taken—there’s no such thing as absolute certainty.” Since there was no good way to ensure everything would go smoothly, Mo Wen decided to take a chance.
