Chapter 448: Chapter 454: Treasure Chest in the Magma Lake

Hang Yu stared at the massive cavern before him.

Inside the cavern, flames flickered, burning like the gates of hell.

He nodded and said, "That’s right, this is the place. Our luck is quite good; we’ve found this spot just before the Red Mountain range volcanoes erupt again, which will save us a lot of time."

Rather than saying it’s good luck,

it’s more accurate to say Hang Yu has an advantage.

He’s clear about the seven entrances to the Magma Labyrinth.

The entrances may sound plentiful, but the Red Mountain range is vast, each cavern location is very hidden, and some appear as entrances but are actually dead-end false entrances.

How can one easily find these places in a short period?

Moreover, the entrance Hang Yu chose is the easiest among all and allows one to reach the destination the fastest. If there are no unexpected incidents, they will definitely arrive before other troops.

Hang Yu said, "The cavern passage is blocked by a Fire Wall. Use Fighting Qi and dispelling magic to clear the way. Be mindful of the soldiers’ Life Energy during healing; don’t let them fall here."

"Let’s go!"

Sand Spring City’s Secret Technique Soldiers have dispelling magic.

The human members also have twenty or thirty people who have learned similar skills.

Everyone together casts dispelling spells on the cavern, and the originally raging flames blocking the path seem to be quenched with a large basin of water, collapsing and extinguishing almost halfway.

Hang Yu, Xu Tianhua, Zhao Ming, and other strong warriors lead the way, taking turns using Fighting Qi Skills to dispel nearby flames, ultimately opening a passable path amid the flames, allowing cavalry to charge through swiftly.

"Very good!"

"We’ve made it inside!"

"This place is extremely dangerous!"

"Everyone, watch your steps, and don’t be careless!"

The group entered the complex structure of the Magma Labyrinth beneath the Red Mountain range.

Jiang Nan started to look around.

One magma lake after another was churning with heat.

Even the ground wasn’t completely safe, with fire pillars often suddenly breaking through the surface, releasing from cracks like a long spear piercing straight up, capable of creating great momentum and destruction.

Furthermore,

The roaming monsters added richness.

Apart from the Red Sand Monsters seen outside, there were many powerful monsters on the magma lakes and land they hadn’t encountered before, each with varying capabilities, but all with fire attribute attacks.

"There are natural traps everywhere."

"This place is terrifying!"

Jiang Nan felt quite pressured.

Er Gou said, "Woof, boss, the space around here is vast, and the monster density is extremely high!"

Bai quickly came to report, "Brother, we’ve found seven different paths, each guarded by a lot of monsters."

Xu Tianhua said, "The environment here is too harsh, coupled with the sheer number of monsters, trying to explore each of these passages would’ve been too time and resource-consuming."

Isn’t that obvious?

The Magma Labyrinth is called such for a reason.

If you blindly rush about without thought, you’ll only end up trapped in this place.

Hang Yu said, "Old Zhao, Old Xu, I’ll entrust the soldiers to you next. You will lead the team to clear the monsters along the way, while I will scout ahead to reconnoiter the correct paths and identify trap locations."

Zhao Ming said, "Isn’t that inappropriate? You are the leader!"

"My Agility Attribute is the highest among us. I have Reconnaissance Skills, Stealth Skills, can Instant Teleport, and can advance from a distance. Without doubt, I am most suited for scouting."

Hang Yu continued, "Don’t worry, with my current Fire Attribute Resistance and the purple item Heart of the Fire Element King, I can escape danger in time."

Indeed.

The group didn’t persuade further.

"Er Gou, keep two clones."

The Husky Spirit immediately created two clones within the team, while the main body and the Little Fairy transformed Bai followed Hang Yu, first separating from the team and heading deeper into the Magma Labyrinth.

Next,

Hang Yu gave remote instructions,

guiding the team in the most correct advance direction.

The terrain and map of the Magma Labyrinth were in Hang Yu’s mind; everyone just needed to follow Hang Yu’s directions to avoid many unnecessary detours and some major dangers.

Hang Yu was already advancing with Er Gou and Bai, battling while progressing.

Their speed was fast, bypassing monsters when possible, manually clearing them otherwise.

If we can’t get around it, then we fight, and during this process, we gain a lot of Spiritual Qi again.

Er Gou followed Hang Yu at a quick pace, "Awoo, this Husky thinks the boss left the team not for reconnaissance, but probably with ulterior motives!"

The Husky Spirit is highly intelligent.

He is Hang Yu’s close follower.

Therefore, he knows quite a lot about Hang Yu’s secrets.

Er Gou already knows Hang Yu has almost all-knowing Innate Skills, and from his performance along the way, he probably knew everything long ago but deliberately left the team, there must be an issue!

"Hehe, this doggy is getting smarter, then why don’t you guess why this boss wanted to leave the team."

"Awoo, does it even need guessing? Considering the boss’s nature to act for profit, this Husky deduces it must be some benefits that can only be obtained when acting alone!"

This dog is getting more and more audacious.

It’s time to review a hundred ways to cook dog meat.

However, Er Gou is correct, there are indeed many good things in the Magma Labyrinth.

With Hang Yu acting alone, given his current skills, it isn’t difficult for him to pass through monster-infested areas to reach these places, but if he were with a large force, it’s not possible to move flexibly at all.

Therefore.

The current plan is.

To provide Old Zhao and Old Xu with the correct paths.

Let them clear the monsters along the way, leading the troops straight to the lair.

Hang Yu uses the vast network of passages in the Underground Labyrinth to go ahead to the treasure sites, taking the good items that appeared with the resurrection of the Red Sand Demon King, then joining everyone for the real challenge against the powerful Red Sand Demon King.

Just like this.

With strong mobility and survival ability.

Hang Yu eliminates a large number of Lord Monsters along the way, rapidly increasing his Spiritual Qi Essence.

92%, 93%, 94%...

At this rate of efficiency.

Hang Yu will quickly be able to level up!

Er Gou suddenly exclaimed in surprise: "Awoo, boss, this Husky senses a formidable presence ahead, its strength is comparable to the Ancient Abyss Overlord in the third layer of the Ancient Prison."

The Ancient Abyss Overlord is a level 15 Silver Overlord.

If this monster’s aura is similar, then it will also be a level 15 Silver Overlord.

The usual power of a Great Lord is no more than a Bronze Overlord, or slightly higher, so it’s unlikely to single-handedly defeat such a strong level 15 Silver Overlord monster, the strength of this monster is evident.

Hang Xiaobai flew over to report: "Brother, ahead is an underground canyon with a large group of monsters blocking our path, including many Elemental Race monsters with strong sensing abilities. Even using Illusion Dust, it’s impossible to pass by completely unnoticed."

"Hmm, it’s okay, I have a way!"

Hang Yu took out the Abyssal Sacrificial Treasure Manual, releasing about ten thousand points of Spiritual Qi.

In a terrifying aura, a monster appeared here that’s as tall as a three-story building, resembling a moth with enormous wings, covered in blinking eyes, and a thick tail with octopus tentacles around its grotesque mouth.

Summoning successful!

A level 15 Bronze Overlord Abyss Demon!

The moment this Abyss Demon was summoned, it immediately attracted the attention of the Labyrinth monsters, which, sensing the intruder’s aura, charged over with cries.

The Abyssal Demon Moth originally intended to attack Hang Yu, the nearest, but it got hurt by various sudden Fire Series attacks, enraging it. Its massive wings unfolded, with numerous eyes opening and emitting beams of light, showering like rain onto these monsters.

The strength of the Abyss Demon was too strong!

Thus, it immediately resulted in considerable casualties!

The skirmish here quickly attracted more monsters, with hundreds or even thousands of monsters converging towards the Abyssal Demon Moth’s location, and in this process, a flaw would surely appear.

Hang Yu, along with Bai and Er Gou, using Shadow Dance, Dark Strike, Flashing, and even the Light-Seeking Sword, swiftly passed through under the cover of Hang Xiaobai’s Illusion Dust control field, effortlessly traversing the heavily guarded underground canyon.

A large Magma Lake appeared.

Hang Yu activated the Eagle Eye technique to look at the center of the Magma Lake.

He clearly saw a high-end and upscale Treasure Chest at the center of the Magma Lake.

Found it!

This is one of Hang Yu’s targets!

Though the Treasure Chest is relatively small in size, judging by its quality, it’s the same as the large Treasure Chest at the lake bottom in the Abyss Overlord BOSS room on the third layer of the Ancient Prison.

At this moment, the Magma Lake was calm, and the Treasure Chest was solitary.

It appeared that as long as one could fly, crossing the Magma Lake and obtaining the chest would be a piece of cake.

However, Hang Yu knew that such a high-level Treasure Chest couldn’t be casually retrieved, and there must be tremendous danger lurking nearby.
