It was unimportant that a segment had been cut off earlier, and during this time, Mo Wen had no idea how long it had been. According to the Timer's records, he and Xiao Hei had been traversing the Confusion Zone for ten days. During these ten days, Xiao Hei was quite excited, while Mo Wen grew increasingly worried. He hadn’t shared his discoveries with Xiao Hei, who seemed oblivious to the anomalies around them. Mo Wen had become accustomed to the vanishing scenery he witnessed, and as time passed, the frequency of such occurrences only increased. This was one of the phenomena of the Confusion Zone, capable of inducing hallucinations. Whether these were truly hallucinations was something even those who had narrowly escaped could not confirm; however, the scenery indeed did not exist, thus it was classified as an illusion.
Suddenly, Mo Wen brought Xing Zhou to a halt. He heard a familiar sound in the distance—a low, ominous wailing. It was the sound that heralded the arrival of a Lava Storm. Could it be that another Lava Storm was coming? That seemed impossible; the last one had just subsided. Shaking his head to clear his thoughts, he found that the wailing only grew louder. A massive wave appeared in his line of sight, and Mo Wen felt his body stiffen and his breath catch as he watched the towering wave rush toward Xing Zhou. There was no chance to escape now; he simply closed his eyes, hoping this was all just an illusion.
“Boss, why did you stop?” Xiao Hei's voice came from within the Divine Sea. Mo Wen opened his eyes to find no giant wave before him—only Xiao Hei standing at the bow with a puzzled expression.
“Xiao Hei, didn’t you see anything?” Mo Wen frowned. Could it be that Xiao Hei was unaffected?
“I saw it! All I could see was lava; I even thought about jumping in for a bath.”
“Stop joking; I’m serious.”
“Boss, you’re wronging me! There’s lava everywhere; there’s nothing else here—what I said is the truth.” Xiao Hei looked confused by Mo Wen’s reaction.
“Did you hear any sounds?” Mo Wen found it hard to believe that he was so heavily affected while Xiao Hei remained unscathed.
“Nope. Boss, what’s going on? You don’t look so good; your face is even darker than before.” At Xiao Hei's words, Mo Wen's face darkened further—how could it not be dark after years without a wash? He silently complained about this guy who had been calling himself “Big Black” since waking up, insisting it suited his boss's identity better.
“Really?” Mo Wen asked, still skeptical.
“Really! I promise I didn’t hear or see anything because I didn’t listen or look.” Xiao Hei spoke earnestly, nearly swearing on it.
“……” So this guy fell asleep again.
“Boss, I swear I wasn’t sleeping! I’ve been keeping my eyes on the front!” Seemingly seeing through Mo Wen’s doubts, Xiao Hei quickly added.
“Then tell me what you’ve noticed.”
“I smelled something strange.”
“You smelled!?” Mo Wen was taken aback; how could that be?
“Yes! I felt uncomfortable and shut off my senses; sure enough, that uncomfortable feeling disappeared, and then I caught that scent.”
“How come I didn’t smell anything?” Mo Wen also closed off his senses and sniffed around.
“It’s in that direction! Boss, you have to believe me.” To prove he truly detected something, Xiao Hei pointed toward a direction—the very same direction from which the giant wave had seemed to approach earlier.
“Alright! Keep smelling; we’ll head in that direction.” In the end, he chose to trust Xiao Hei. Firstly, his own senses were severely compromised and could not provide accurate judgment. Secondly, Xiao Hei’s nature was currently pure; what he said must surely be the truth.
