After crossing the edge of the volcanic region, the surrounding environment changed noticeably.
The lizardfolk's traces had already vanished, and Ang returned to his original appearance.
In this volcanic region, there were far more fire-element Magical Beasts than expected. However, most were merely Level 1 Magical Beasts. Sensing the aura Ang released, they all kept their distance and did not dare approach.
Ang rode the Camelback Beast forward slowly, traversing the rugged lava terrain. After cresting a small hill, the sight before him made him frown—a river of lava over ten meters wide blocked the way ahead. Crimson magma churned and flowed, and waves of heat rushed toward him, suffocating him.

Seeing this, Ang looked around and pondered for a moment before saying to himself, "Let's see if we can go around it."
He gently tugged the reins, and the Camelback Beast turned around, slowly moving downstream along the lava river.
Fortunately, as they continued onward, the lava river gradually narrowed and its flow slowed.

The air was filled with a strong sulfurous smell, and wisps of heat occasionally rose from the ground beneath their
