"Alright, considering your hard work, let's eat something before we go." Upon hearing Boss Mo's response, Xiao Hei felt as if he had heard the sweetest music. During these ten days, he had suggested eating several times, only to be rejected by the boss. Of course, his earlier suggestions were not due to hunger but simply because he was craving food. Now, however, he was genuinely hungry. He had already picked a spot; there was a place to settle ahead, and the boss couldn't say there was no place to cook anymore.
After stowing away the boat, the two of them stepped onto the small island. They set up a Magic Circle and began to prepare a meal on the island. The thought that it might be Fire Lotus excited Mo Wen, and since they hadn't reached their destination yet, he was in high spirits and decided to cook a hot pot as a reward for Xiao Hei. For the two of them at this moment, water was the most precious resource. There was still some water stored in the Square Inch World, but it could only barely maintain the balance of their small world; they wouldn't touch that water unless absolutely necessary. When they entered the Lava Sea, they thought they had brought enough water, but they hadn't expected to be stranded there for so long. Looking at the dwindling supply of water, Mo Wen felt fortunate that he had managed to hold off on bathing; otherwise, he might have had to drink his own bathwater to survive. Normally, once one reached the Transcendence Stage, they could absorb the surrounding water spiritual energy to replenish their body's moisture consumption. However, here in the Lava Sea, with lava everywhere and abundant Fire Spirit Power, all the water spiritual energy had been burned away.
"Boss, can we eat this hot pot thing more often in the future?" After finishing the last sip of soup, Xiao Hei lay on the ground looking at Mo Wen.
"If there's a water source, we can eat it often," Mo Wen replied while picking his teeth. He wasn't surprised at all by the empty pot; given Xiao Hei's nature, it would have been more surprising if he hadn't finished all the soup.
"Don't worry, boss! Finding water is on me!" Hearing Mo Wen's words, Xiao Hei patted his belly and made promises without a second thought.
"Well... no pressure; we’ll do our best," Mo Wen said. He even doubted whether this guy had forgotten what water looked like after hearing his enthusiastic promises. However, he didn't want to dampen Xiao Hei's spirits; after all, anything was possible. Who knows? Xiao Hei's nose might actually lead them to water.
"Xiao Hei, be careful and watch for any unusual situations," Mo Wen warned with a frown as he looked at Xiao Hei standing at the bow of the boat.
"Got it, boss." Xiao Hei sensed something unusual about Boss Mo's demeanor. Ever since they obtained the first Confusion Pearl, the boss hadn't spoken like this before; now that he did, there must be something amiss.
Mo Wen's frown was justified; everything along their journey had been unusually calm. Although they didn't know their exact location in the Lava Sea, their general direction was correct—they were still heading deeper into it. The deeper they went, the more Demon Beasts appeared; this rule applied both above ground and underground. Moreover, with such an enticing Divine Beast bait like Xiao Hei standing on the boat, it was truly strange that no Demon Beasts had attacked them for so long. Was this a new type of Confusion Zone? In Confusion Zones, there were no living Demon Beasts; however, they had experienced multiple Confusion Zones before with similar conditions—only differing in strength. Right now, his senses were functioning perfectly without any signs of auditory or visual hallucinations; everything felt unlike any signs of a Confusion Zone. Additionally, Elder Zhu had never mentioned any such dead zones within the Lava Sea; if there were any such places, Elder Zhu would have definitely informed him since he needed something from him and fundamentally hoped that he would return alive.
