Mo Wen shook his head inwardly, wondering why he was overthinking things; he would understand everything in due time. His only thought now was to safely exit the forest. As for whether Xiao Hei would harm him, he no longer had such concerns. Throughout their journey, he kept a close eye on Xiao Hei, but his current perception abilities were still quite limited, preventing him from noticing any changes in Xiao Hei. At that moment, Xiao Hei was absorbing Fire Spirit Power at an increasing speed, while the Fire Principle within its Bloodline continued to accumulate.
They walked intermittently, and Mo Wen lost track of how far they had gone. In this underground realm devoid of day or night, only lava surrounded them, and he had long since lost his sense of time. The journey was not monotonous; they encountered several battles and collected some herbs and materials, but no high-value items had appeared since then. Mo Wen noticed that Xiao Hei, who had been leading the way, seemed increasingly excited as if it had discovered something. However, after a thorough search, Mo Wen found nothing.
Eventually, the path ahead came to an end. The Lava River disappeared here, completely sinking underground. In front of him stood a stone wall with no other features; it blocked the cave that was over ten zhang high and nearly twenty to thirty zhang wide. At this moment, Xiao Hei stopped beneath the stone wall, continuously scratching at it with its front paws. Seeing Xiao Hei's anxious demeanor, Mo Wen knew there must be something behind the wall. He approached and began to examine it closely, but no matter how he checked, it remained just a stone wall like those surrounding it.
Mo Wen looked at Xiao Hei; it seemed very anxious and continued scratching at the wall. "Xiao Hei, is there something behind this? If so, make a sound; if not, stay quiet." This was their unique way of communicating developed during their journey. He had been delighted when he discovered that Xiao Hei could understand him. This method of communication also clarified Mo Wen's earlier questions: initially, Xiao Hei had been attracted by the light of Yang Yan Gold; then it grew fond of the underground lava; eventually, it was drawn here by something else.
"Woof!"
"Alright then, since there is something there, let's break through it. If we can't break it down, we'll just carve a hole." With Xiao Hei's affirmative bark, Mo Wen's eyes lit up as he took out his tools and began striking the stone wall in an attempt to shatter it. However, no matter how hard he hit it, only small chips fell off without any other response.
"This isn't going to work; it'll take forever at this rate." Mo Wen sat down on the ground, realizing that relying on brute force to break through this wall was impossible.
"Wait! How could I forget about this?" Mo Wen slapped his thigh as he suddenly remembered the talisman Old Lu had given him. Since parting ways with Old Lu, he had only used it once and had forgotten all about it.
"Xiao Hei, you should move back." Seeing that Xiao Hei had already retreated over two hundred zhang away, Mo Wen stuffed the talisman into the small hole he had painstakingly carved out.
"Boom!" Debris flew everywhere as dust filled the air. As silence gradually returned to the surroundings, Mo Wen emerged from behind a rock. Looking at the scene before him, he exclaimed, "This talisman really works!" The original stone wall had been blown open to reveal a passage through which light streamed—light emitted by lava.
Without time to admire his handiwork further, Xiao Hei darted into the opening ahead of him, prompting him to hurry after it. After passing through a tunnel about three zhang long, Mo Wen gazed in awe at what lay before him: on this side of the stone wall was a massive cave soaring hundreds of zhang high. Below lay a Lava Lake spanning hundreds of zhang across; its surrounding walls were encrusted with Fire Spirit Crystals and adorned with various herbs that were considered top-quality in Bai Cao Jing.
