In ten days, the shaft had only descended less than two zhang, while his own perception depth had barely reached one zhang. Perhaps the object he had imagined was just beneath the rocky surface, within that less than one zhang depth.
While Mo Wen was still excavating in the shaft like an archaeologist, two groups of adventurers were clashing fiercely less than half a month away from him. Although they were not the first to enter the Lava Sea, they were among the fastest. Both teams had come straight for the depths of the Lava Sea and had only recently slowed down to begin their search. They had initially believed that there would be more and better rewards deeper within, but after a thorough search, they found nothing. When the two groups encountered each other, they assumed that the other had already taken all the nearby treasures, which led to thoughts of murder and robbery.
"Signs of a Magic Circle? No, it doesn't seem like it." Standing at the bottom of the hundred-zhang deep pit and observing the scene before him, he repeatedly studied it but could not determine what it truly was. The bottom of the pit echoed with a loud thud when struck, and it was this very layer that completely obstructed his probing. The only things capable of blocking Divine Perception were either special materials or a Magic Circle. Although the rock at the bottom was hard, it was not made of any special material. The force of obstruction did not seem to emanate from this layer of rock; it felt as if there was a Magic Circle present, yet it was not one he had previously encountered.
"Could it be an Ancient Legacy's Magic Circle that is now damaged?" Mo Wen began his genius-like reasoning again. As time passed, a sense of restlessness grew within him. He knew this agitation did not stem from his surroundings but rather from concerns about other treasure-seeking adventurers. According to his calculations, those individuals were getting closer to his location. The number of people entering the Lava Sea this time was immense. The longer the storm lasted, the more people would enter the Lava Sea afterward—this was what Elder Zhu had told him. The last storm lasted over half a month, during which millions entered from Nameless Town. This time, with the storm lasting over a month, the number of people entering this underground world would surely be several times greater than before. Among them would undoubtedly be those bold enough to "ride the winds and break the waves." Given how vast this island was, it would certainly attract explorers passing by. While he wasn't afraid of others, it was always better to avoid trouble when possible, especially before Xiao Hei woke up.
"Forget it; I'll take a gamble." He set up a barrier using a Magic Circle around the cave and ignited explosives before tossing them into the formation to seal off the Magic Circle. "Boom!" A muffled explosion reverberated through the shaft as if the entire structure was shaking. This time he aimed for a downward blast, using the Magic Circle to contain the explosive force and direct its impact downward against the ground. Once the tremors subsided, he removed the Magic Circle, and an immediate rush of air surged forth. He quickly held his breath and teleported to a step on the wall of the shaft as debris nearly knocked him off balance. The air pressure struck against the ceiling with loud bangs; as silence returned, some stones brought up were directly embedded into the ceiling, which now resembled a honeycomb due to damage.
Since he had previously sealed off the shaft with a Magic Circle and directed lava into it while also re-digging an exit within his cave to prevent any disturbances affecting Xiao Hei's cultivation—complete with multiple barriers using Magic Circles—the rush of air could not escape from the shaft. Now filled with air surging upward from below, he cautiously took a breath from within the cave and instantly felt refreshed.
As dust settled and he looked down again, he saw an opening glowing red below him. Sending out a probe, he wondered aloud, "Could there be something in this airflow that blocks detection?"
