Hirba realized something was off.

The bald demon’s group had fewer members than it started off with.

After double-checking the group members, he saw that three of them were missing.

Everybody was there when the bald demon’s group left the arena. Where were the three demons?

“It’s an ambush!” Hirba sensed the danger and wanted to retreat, but the tunnel had already disappeared.

“There’s no other way. We have to fight together!” Ould said grimly.

They had reacted in time, but that couldn’t change the fact that the bald demon’s group was more powerful than them.

The two groups were soon defeated.

Five minutes later, Ould exhaled his last breath and fell to the ground.

“I guess Ould had more cards up his sleeves than I thought. That was quite a battle!”

The bald demon wiped the wounds on his face. He didn’t win the battle unscratched. If he hadn’t kept his guard on, Ould probably would have killed him already.

Luckily, he withstood Ould’s little tricks.

The battle was over, and there was no such danger anymore.

“Bring them all to the next location!” said the bald demon.

They soon arrived at the next stop. This place had no road. The exit was five hundred meters away, but there was no road.

Beneath them was bubbling magma that was fifty meters deep.

Ordinary magma wouldn’t hurt them, but the magma here would be anything but ordinary. The heatwave alone could melt them.

“Captain, what’s this place?” one of the demons asked.

“The magma here is said to be the primal magma, and no one dares set foot in it. If you fall in, you’ll be burnt into ashes, and even your soul will be destroyed,” the bald demon explained.

The demons all fell back, fearing that they might fall.

Imm asked, “How can we get to the other side? If you need a scout, it means there are roads here.”

Earlier, the bald demon talked about needing some scouts, but there was no path here, and below them was the magma.

Did that mean there was an invisible path?

Why else would they need somebody to explore the way?

The bald demon knew the inside of the tomb well, so he wouldn’t have led them to a dead end. Hence, it was possible that his speculation might be true.

“Yes, you’ve guessed correctly. There’s an invisible road, but it changes position every day.

“No one knows what that road looks like, which is why we need some scouts.”

They had already come this far. There was no need for the bald demon to keep the secret from them. He told everybody what he knew.

Imm was confused again. “If that’s the case, why didn’t you ask everybody to go with you at first?

“The exit is five hundred meters away, and there are only twenty-three of them. Will there be enough of them to get us over there?”

That was right!

Twenty-three scouts.

Could they find the invisible road?

They had a lot more members before this. If they hadn’t separated, they would have over fifty people here to look for the road.

“Fifty? Do you really think they’d have listened to us?

“Other groups are in this tomb, too.

“Although we’ve chosen different tunnels, they’ll also have to solve this problem.

“If my deduction is correct, it should be happening now.”

As soon as he said that, a small section of a road suddenly appeared.

What?

How did that happen?

Wasn’t the road invisible? Why did this section show up?

No one had explored anything yet.

Seeing that they were confused, the bald demon explained, “The road is shared by everybody who enters this tomb.

“If someone finds the road elsewhere, we’ll see it on our end, too.

“They’ve all explored the way willingly. Isn’t that better than forcing these people to be our scouts?

Shared?

How did that work?

The other demons didn’t want to believe the bald demon, but they knew it was the truth.

Only frequent visitors to the tomb would know that.

At first, they thought the bald demon only knew a little more information than them, but they didn’t feel that way now.

If he knew such things, he must have been here before and knew the tomb well.

Why would he need a team?

If he came here often, it meant he was capable enough to enter alone. The others couldn’t think of a reason.

“I know what you’re thinking. I won’t explain anything. You can think whatever you want.

“If you want to leave my team, feel free to drop out, but I’m not responsible for your safety after that.

“I have my own secrets. I don’t need to explain them to you.”

The bald demon’s tone grew cold.

Only then did they realize that the bald demon had helped them a lot in the tomb and saved them from a lot of trouble.

If it weren’t for him, they wouldn’t even be qualified to enter the tomb.

Who were they to ask the bald demon about anything else?

“Alright. Let’s keep moving.”

After their brief discussion, the road extended for another ten meters. They immediately followed the bald demon.

Meanwhile, Himmel Soan was right beneath the magma.

“The primal magma, is it? It’s not as frightening as it sounds,” Firey said curiously.

She was the heart of the volcano, so she felt at home in the magma.

She had been absorbing the energy the whole time.

After arriving at this location, Firey switched back to her human form and jumped into the magma, taking Himmel Soan with her.

The temperature would have injured him, but with Firey around, the magma felt like a hot spring.

Shortly after they went in, the bald demon arrived.

They heard everything the bald demon said.
