"Boss, are we really going to drink this?" Looking at the bowl of beast blood in front of him, he had asked this question many times over the past month. He was very reluctant to drink it, but the Boss said it would help replenish some moisture, and indeed it did. However, the taste of beast blood was truly awful. Because these Demon Beasts lived in the Lava Sea, their blood was scorching hot; taking a sip felt like drinking lava.
"Hurry up and drink it, or that little bit of moisture will evaporate," Mo Wen said, glancing sideways at Xiao Hei, who still had his bowl untouched. He had already finished his own. Due to the lack of water, his control over Law had improved significantly. During this time, he managed to generate enough water through the effects of Law and the interplay of the five elements to barely maintain his moisture balance, but that water couldn't be extracted from within his body. To share in the hardship, he could only accompany Xiao Hei in drinking beast blood. The blood contained rich fire essence, which would be beneficial for Xiao Hei, but this guy was quite resistant; the taste was indeed terrible.
"This Divine Beast swears this is the last bowl! I must find a water source; I want to eat hot pot!" After shouting that, he gulped down the beast blood in one go and let out a burp, a flame shooting up from his throat.
...
"Boss! There's water! I can smell it!" Xiao Hei, who had been lying listlessly on the deck, suddenly jumped up. In fact, Mo Wen had noticed it too; after spending so long in the Lava Sea, he had become particularly sensitive to the scent of water.
"Be careful; let's go check it out," Mo Wen said cautiously after their previous encounter with the lava spirit. However, that scent of water was very real. Not far ahead, the lava began to cool and solidify, forming floating slabs of stone on its surface.
Navigating between rocky islands with their boat, they noticed an increasing number of Demon Beasts around them. Mo Wen's heart raced; although these Demon Beasts weren't very strong individually, their sheer numbers were daunting. Even if he was powerful, he couldn't withstand so many of them. Fortunately, these Demon Beasts showed no intention of attacking; they merely swam through the lava in a direction consistent with theirs. Xiao Hei squatted at the bow of the boat in silence, lost in thought.
Ahead appeared a large island. From the boat, they could only glimpse its edge and couldn't assess its full size. It seemed like a small landmass. The lava there had already solidified, and the surrounding temperature had dropped significantly; cracks in the rocks emitted faint red light.
"Boss, this time I’m sure! I just communicated with those Demon Beasts; they are heading towards a water source on the island," Xiao Hei said as he jumped off the boat and headed inland.
"Oh? They actually agreed to communicate with you this time?" Mo Wen was surprised; previously, Xiao Hei's attempts at communication had always ended in failure.
"It's because there's a powerful god on the island who forbids fighting near it; otherwise, you’ll be taken away by that god." Perhaps relieved from not having to worry about being eaten anymore, Xiao Hei walked with an air of arrogance.
"A god?! What kind of god?" Hearing about such a powerful presence made Mo Wen even more anxious, but so far he hadn’t sensed anything formidable.
"They don’t know either; no one has ever seen what a god looks like. Even if someone gets taken away during a fight, no one has ever seen what that god looks like—those involved almost vanish in an instant." Since he wouldn’t be participating in any fights anyway, Xiao Hei dismissed the notion of gods mentioned by those Demon Beasts.
