Buzzing sounds jolted Mo Wen awake, interrupting his cultivation. The sudden rush of energy nearly made him spit out a mouthful of blood. He suppressed the surge rising in his throat and opened his eyes to see the source of the noise—it was the warning from Xiao Hei's cave.
A surge of joy filled Mo Wen's heart. Could it be that Xiao Hei had awakened?
He hurriedly got up and rushed into Xiao Hei's cave. Through the magic circle, he saw Xiao Hei in the center of the cave, glowing a deep red like a piece of porcelain that had been burned through, while the surrounding spiritual energy began to stir restlessly.
Suppressing the urge to rush forward, he checked from behind the magic circle and found that Xiao Hei's condition was stable. He let out a sigh of relief; it seemed that Xiao Hei was approaching a critical moment. However, he wondered how long this state would last and whether Xiao Hei would awaken once it was over.
As he looked at Xiao Hei curled up in the center of the cave, Mo Wen felt a mix of emotions. He hoped for Xiao Hei to wake up so he would have company, allowing their journey through the Lava Sea to progress further. At the same time, he feared that if Xiao Hei woke too soon, it might mean his transformation was not yet complete. Deep down, he wished for Xiao Hei to finish his metamorphosis all at once.
"How can you still sleep like this?" At that moment, he felt a twinge of envy towards Xiao Hei—envy for having such an exceptional leader and for being able to complete his transformation simply by sleeping while he had to scavenge for materials and practice kung fu.
"When Xiao Hei wakes up, we need to have a good talk about what kind of talents qilins possess..." His mind began to wander with mischievous thoughts about Xiao Hei. It seemed that ever since he had been with Xiao Hei, his luck had improved significantly. If only Xiao Hei could lead him on treasure hunts—wouldn't that be... "Hehe," he chuckled quietly to himself but quickly realized his distraction and silenced his laughter. Disruptions during cultivation were detrimental; he had just experienced that firsthand.
Shaking his head, he turned and exited Little Black Cave. Cultivation was out of the question now; he needed to stay alert to any changes around Xiao Hei and especially watch for movements around the island. Recently, his instincts had been stronger than before, as if trouble were closing in on him. He focused on calming himself and began to heal from the injuries caused by his interrupted cultivation.
"Ha..." After taking a deep breath, it took him two days to recover from his internal injuries. Though it wasn't his first time being injured or dealing with internal injuries, this was the first time they stemmed from cultivation. Now he truly understood how troublesome cultivation-related injuries could be. Although he had healed, he couldn't cultivate again in the short term; he needed to ensure that Xiao Hei and his guardian were not fully distracted from their training. Moreover, since his injuries were only managed and not fully healed, attempting to cultivate again could easily destabilize his foundation. For now, all he could do was wait for Xiao Hei's process to conclude. While he worried about Xiao Hei, as long as he ensured no external disturbances reached him, everything would be fine. As for cultivation methods—being no divine beast himself—he had no idea how they trained.
Being a guardian was both an easy and meticulous job. In the outside world, it could attract those with ill intentions; however, in this underground realm, such risks seemed significantly lower. Thus, being a guardian for Xiao Hei felt relatively easy yet monotonous. As a diligent young man, Mo Wen decided not to waste this time idly; instead, he resolved to revisit some long-neglected research projects.
