The volcano towered a hundred thousand feet high. Ye Chen and the other four gradually descended from that immense height. Because the rising currents were too powerful, they hindered their progress, and the five were not moving very quickly. After the time it took to drink half a cup of tea, they had only reached a point sixty thousand feet above the bottom.

The instant their feet stepped upon it, bone-piercing cold slithered into them like little snakes.
