Chapter 1029, Magma Lake
Chapter 1029, Magma Lake
Translator: Silavin
“How… how do we cross this magma lake!?” The fat man from the Yang Family looked at the magma lake before him, his face turning pale.
Heat from the magma within rose in waves, distorting even the air itself. One glance revealed this would not be easy to traverse.
As for circumventing the magma lake…
Everyone looked at the boundless magma lake and helplessly shook their heads.
Without relying on Sky Mounts or items, how could they possibly bypass this magma lake!? After all, conservative estimates suggested it would take several days of travel.
Yet the Potions everyone carried could only sustain them for three days.
Even having obtained the Purgatory Demon King’s Core Blood merely extended their time here by two days.
Combined, that was only five days total. Everyone had already spent nearly two days here previously.
They simply did not have enough time just to circumvent this lake, let alone finding other Bosses in the Dungeon Instance.
Everyone turned their gazes toward Lu Fan and Situ Hengxing, wondering what insights these two experts might have, and how to handle the magma lake before them.
Situ Hengxing considered for a moment, also realizing they could not waste too much time on this magma lake, he simply said. “Let’s see. In a moment, I’ll travel by sword, see if I can fly across. Even if I accidentally trigger the Map’s Restriction and summon meteors, I should at least not lose my life. Perhaps this magma lake’s terrain is special, and we can travel at a higher altitude.”
Everyone nodded, feeling Situ Hengxing might be right.
To continue exploring the Flaming Hell Dungeon Instance, this would be the best method.
Seeing no one objecting, Situ Hengxing was about to travel by sword, following his own suggestion to cross over the magma lake.
However, at that moment, Lu Fan suddenly said, “Wait! This magma lake… something’s not quite right about it!”
“Oh?!”
Instantly, everyone looked toward Lu Fan, inquiring what was not right.
Lu Fan did not explain directly, because what was not right was due to him sensing an Ancient God’s presence here.
Though extremely faint, he was absolutely certain. [This is unmistakably an Ancient God.]
[How strange, though.] Lu Fan clearly had not sensed any Ancient God presence here before. Why now, at the edge of the magma lake, had he detected this trace?
[This magma lake definitely is a major problem…] Lu Fan naturally could not say he had sensed an Ancient God presence here. Otherwise, his purpose for coming would be revealed to everyone else.
His identity as an Ancient God still could not be casually disclosed to others.
Thus, after some thought, Lu Fan found an excuse. “I sense that beneath this magma lake, something extraordinary might exist. If you go, you might get instantly killed.”
*Siii…* Situ Hengxing drew a sharp breath.
He had absolutely not noticed anything strange. But Lu Fan’s words could not be taken in jest.
Him not sensing anything did not mean the magma lake below truly held no danger. After all, Lu Fan was this powerful. If he said danger existed while everyone else noticed nothing, it only proved the danger below not only genuinely existed but was extraordinarily terrifying!
If Lu Fan were not here, he would have unknowingly ventured onto the magma lake and been instantly killed by whatever lay within.
Situ Hengxing trusted Lu Fan’s words implicitly. Seeing Lu Fan speak up, at a loss, he simply asked. “Then since something terrifying exists beneath the lake, what should we do? If we can’t find a way to cross, how can we continue exploring this Dungeon Instance?”
Lu Fan showed not the slightest panic. He smiled and said. “I only said you cannot cross. I didn’t say I can’t. Just wait here for a moment. I’ll cross over and see if I can bring out whatever’s in the lake. In my view, it should be the second Boss we’ve encountered here.”
After speaking, Lu Fan had Ye Wuxian wait here while he and Xiao Ye went to investigate.
Ye Wuxian felt somewhat uneasy, repeatedly cautioning him before finally letting Lu Fan go with peace of mind.
Lu Fan used the Bone Wings, while Xiao Ye casted a Skill from her Profession that enabled her to fly. She was directly using a ball of flame to support her petite body, following Lu Fan together toward the magma lake.
Seeing the two directly flying across, quite a few Situ Family members broke into cold sweat on Lu Fan and Xiao Ye’s behalf.
After all, their altitude was extremely casual, completely disregarding Situ Hengxing’s earlier suggestion to carefully control his altitude.
In fact, they might really trigger the meteors to Spawn.
As Lu Fan and Xiao Ye took to the air, when high enough, the sky immediately showed an anomaly.
A mass of grey fog, like volcanic ash, materialized from nothing, gathering above Lu Fan’s head.
Moreover, it followed Lu Fan’s movements, clearly targeting him.
“It’s the meteors… Even here, we can’t escape the Map’s Restrictions. Seems like we won’t be able to fly across, not with the heat below and the Restriction above…” Seeing this, Situ Ying’s expression immediately turned ugly.
After all, if flight was impossible, this magma lake before them would always be a problem.
Simultaneously, Lu Fan had triggered the Map Restriction. If any further incident occurred…
Situ Ying and the others had barely formed this thought when Lu Fan used practical action to demonstrate to everyone, such matters were nothing to be worried about.
Within the sky’s fog, firelight indeed appeared. Subsequently, car-sized meteors parted the grey mist, smashing toward Lu Fan.
Lu Fan paid absolutely no attention to the meteors continuously emerging from the sky. The chain hooks on his back flew out repeatedly, stabbing toward the meteors.
*Bang!*
The two collided, immediately producing a tremendous sound.
Subsequently, the meteor was directly shattered by Lu Fan’s chain hook, transforming into rubble and sparks that scattered into the magma lake below.
Meteors smashed down continuously, yet consistently failed to harm Lu Fan in the slightest.
This scene left everyone clicking their tongues in amazement, dumbstruck.
Especially the Situ Family members. Previously, due to not understanding the Secret Realm’s rules, they’d suffered considerably from these meteors.
A Fifth Profession Player had even died beneath these meteors.
Yet for Lu Fan, these meteors posed absolutely no threat whatsoever. He was just that absurdly powerful!
