Chapter 53: Volcano Erupts!

During the fox clan's great expansion, many devout fox people left their tribe to explore other beastman tribes.

In the beastman realm, the fox clan was a relatively weak tribe.

To the east of the fox clan lay a stronger beastman tribe.

The centaur tribe.

To the south of the fox clan also lay a powerful beastman tribe.

Precisely because the surrounding beastman tribes were so strong, the fox clan's living space had been compressed so severely.

Lin Yan had originally planned to use those fox people to directly reach other beastman tribes and burn their totems.

But the Misty Mountains had suffered an accident!

North of the wasteland, a volcano erupted!

When Lin Yan had burned the forest last time, he had already discovered that volcano.

But back then, the volcano merely had the shape of one—no movement at all, clearly a dead volcano.

Who would have thought it would erupt so soon?

Lin Yan paused, then decided to go take a look.

In the Misty Mountains, a fox warrior guarding a mine arrived beneath the erupting volcano and began praying.

Through his prayer, Lin Yan followed the thread of faith and opened a passage, arriving beneath the volcano.

The fox warrior sensed nothing.

Lin Yan drifted upward with the wind.

The volcano was not large, and its eruption carried no great fury.

Yet lava still flowed everywhere across the ground.

Lin Yan quickly reached the crater and plunged into the lava.

"No energy points."

Lin Yan muttered.

Just as he had expected.

Though the lava seemed extremely hot, Lin Yan gained almost nothing from it.

That was normal.

Lin Yan could easily melt the ground into lava merely by slightly raising his own temperature.

That was equivalent to burning stone.

What energy could stone contain?

There was some, yes—but extremely, extremely little.

Burning stone was a net loss for Lin Yan.

Otherwise, to gain energy points, he could simply burn the ground nonstop.

Yet the lava in the volcano did contain a trace of the energy Lin Yan needed—too little for him to care about.

"Go see what's inside the lava."

Since he was already here, Lin Yan decided to dive deeper.

He slowly sank down, vanishing into the lava.

Inside the lava, Lin Yan activated his Probe Eye skill—visibility was no issue.

The crater was essentially a lava channel.

The channel was not wide.

Lin Yan descended steadily along the channel.

After descending about a thousand meters, the surrounding lava channels began to widen…

Lin Yan continued descending.

He was genuinely curious what lay beneath the volcano.

In his past life as a human, how could he ever have entered a volcano to take a look?

Now that he had become flame, he might as well take a look—and search, too. Who knew? Maybe something valuable lay inside the volcano?

Lin Yan descended several more thousand meters, yet below him still stretched vast amounts of lava.

"This volcano's scale must be small."
