As for the ancient Magic Circle, it was unlikely that it would be involved. A Magic Circle is typically set up in a fixed location, and even if there were mobile Magic Circles, they wouldn't be as chaotic as this place. In comparison, the possibility of a Demon Beast seemed greater. However, if the Demon Beast were as powerful as suggested, it wouldn't allow itself to be intruded upon for so long. After some deduction, Mo Wen felt that it was more plausible that it was some kind of special entity. If he could find that special thing, he would be able to research a way to escape.
"Boss, if it's just a Treasure, then why haven't those who entered found it? Didn't you say that aside from those who managed to escape by chance, all other living beings that entered would disappear? Where did they go?" Mo Wen knew that Xiao Hei hoped this was an entrance to another world. If that were the case, he could explore other realms; he had been mentioning wanting to see other worlds throughout their journey.
"Of course they died. If we say those who escaped were lucky, then we are the luckiest of the lucky. We owe it all to you; you’ve done a great job. Once we get out of here, I’ll definitely treat you to a big meal." Regardless of the origin of this chaotic place, whether human or Demon Beast, once they entered, they would be affected by its influence. The Ning Shen Realm is the highest Realm for humans able to enter the Lava Sea; anyone with a higher Realm who enters only meets death. This is the limitation of the Lava Sea. After several high-level Cultivators disappeared, no one dared to risk their lives again. Although he hadn't yet reached complete mastery in his cultivation, after experiencing the battle against the three from the Killing Palace, Mo Wen was confident that his strength ranked among the top explorers in the Lava Sea. Moreover, he had cultivated the Divine Sea rather than the Divine Cloud. Even he was deeply affected in this chaotic place; if not for Xiao Hei's "closed perception," which inspired him, he might have gone mad from various illusions and auditory hallucinations. As for the Demon Beasts, they only cultivate their physical bodies and do not refine their Shen Hun; naturally, they cannot withstand such torment either. Furthermore, high-level Demon Beasts are far more sensitive to danger than humans; upon sensing danger, they would immediately flee.
As for those who disappeared, their bodies were dissolved by the Lava after death, leaving no trace behind.
"Is what you said true? Since I've done such a great job, I deserve at least two big meals!"
"Alright then, two meals it is. But first, wipe off your drool; otherwise, you might end up with none."
"I wasn't drooling."
"It's all over my face and you still deny it? Now there's only one meal left." He wiped his face with his black sleeve where Xiao Hei's drool had landed; it felt much better afterward. He should have wiped it off first before cleaning his face; at least then he could have washed his face a bit too. He grimaced at how such thoughts could affect his appetite.
Upon hearing that one meal had been deducted instantly, Xiao Hei immediately fell silent; he couldn't say anything more or he might end up with nothing.
"Alright, I was just joking with you about the meals—two big ones! I won’t deduct yours; if we really find a treasure, I'll add another one." Seeing that Xiao Hei had stopped talking, Mo Wen decided to reassure him first.
"Boss, you can't go back on your word!" Hearing that not only had his deducted meal returned but another was added as well made Xiao Hei excited again.
"Okay, I guarantee on my honor as your boss that I won't go back on my word." Since he had to cook anyway, he might as well make Xiao Hei happy.
"Boss, I think we've arrived." Just as Mo Wen was contemplating what to cook for a celebration after overcoming this ordeal, Xiao Hei's voice suddenly came through.
