Shi Chun and Wu Jinliang were impressed that they could dive into magma this scorching. Both knew that practitioners of fire-attribute techniques could control high temperatures to some extent, but this was their first time seeing it.
The group gathered around the Magma Spring Eye and watched as black smoke bubbled up from time to time. Shi Chun activated his right-eye ability, watching the four men descend toward that unidentified animal. Perhaps sensing something approaching, the creature suddenly went still.
