The Reincarnation of the Kingmaker

Chapter 147: Locating the Molten Magma Core part 2

After a few minutes of travel, they spotted dozens of platforms slowly melting and a few meters away from it was a huge entrance to a cave.

"You've guessed it perfectly!" Friedrich muttered as he sent a sword wave behind them so that it will boost the direction of their platform toward the cave.

Whoosh!

Soon, their platform reached close to the cave. But because there are numerous platforms in front of it, thus preventing them from getting closer.

With no other choice, they abandoned their platform and started jumping from one platform to another in front of them so that they could reach the entrance of the cave.

In the process, they made sure to choose the platforms that won't accidentally capsize, which will in turn cause them to fall straight to the magma around them.

Not long after, they finally reached the entrance of the cave. They didn't waste any time as they walked straight inside to continue with their journey.

The instant they walked inside, they were immediately greeted by a wide ravine surrounded by rivers and waterfalls made of magma.

Surveying briefly around the place, they could immediately see countless people searching around for something.

"Let's go deeper," Kayn instructed.

Clearly, the people closest to the entrance aren't truly searching for the Molten Magma Core. After all, the first place that anyone who enters this place would look around would be the closest to the entrance. This means that it has already been confirmed that the Molten Magma Core isn't around here.

What these people are doing right now is mainly searching for other treasures, materials, and perhaps some valuable loot from other parties who came before them in hopes of earning something.

This kind of action is honestly natural during scavenger hunts or even in any places where looking for valuable items is involved. It doesn't mean that just because there are only a few objects to look for, other people who weren't lucky enough to find them won't be able to earn a profit.

There are also other sources of profit around these kinds of places. All one has to do is be patient and look at every corner in order to find them.

As they continue to travel deeper, the number of people around them also slowly decreases.

Eventually, they reached a point where there were only two or three parties searching the place.

"We're close," Kayn muttered.

Seeing such a sight only means that they are close to how far everyone has traveled so far in this part of the Peaceful Volcano.

Although, that wasn't the real reason why he said they are close.

The path that leads to the center of the Peaceful Volcano isn't actually easy to find. As a matter of fact, if one simply looks at the place with their naked eye, they would never be able to find it. That's because one has to take note of what kind of place the Peaceful Volcano is.

Since this place is a volcano, it's naturally covered with magma almost all over the place. And coincidentally that includes the path that leads to the center of the Peaceful Volcano.

"So, you're telling us that perhaps the exact reason why no one has yet to find the center of the Peaceful Volcano is that they are looking for it in the wrong way?" Friedrich can't help asking after listening to Kayn's opinion.

"Imagine you are searching for a certain location under the ocean, where do you expect you will find that place?"

"Under the ocean…"

"And where are we right now?"

"Under a volcano,"

All of a sudden, Kayn stopped. At the location where he stopped, no other people could be seen around him other than Friedrich and the others.

Pointing his hand forward, he muttered, "Now, if you look closely behind that magma, you will see what we've been looking for,"

Following the direction of where Kayn is pointing, everyone started observing a magma waterfall closely.

"I think I see something…"

"Is that a hole behind the waterfall?"

"I don't see one… Wait!"

"Oh, there is indeed a hole!"

"Now look behind each of the magma waterfalls,"

Instantly, Friedrich and the others started looking at each of the magma waterfalls nearby them.

After a few minutes of observation, they were surprised to realize that they'd actually missed dozens of caves that were perfectly hidden behind the magma waterfalls. Some of the magma waterfalls don't have caves, but the majority did.

"Now you understand. If you are in a certain environment, you have to use methods that are related to that environment. Otherwise, you could be looking at everything, but still in the end you won't be able to find what you are looking for,"

No one really bothers to look at what's behind the magma waterfall, as it would never come across their minds that there is going to be something important to find at such locations.

It's not that strange honestly, because no one would normally come inside a volcano. And according to the information he had read about the Peaceful Volcano, there are no monsters to hunt here and one can hardly even find valuable resources at this place, so people don't come here often.

Only those desperate individuals who are hoping to strike gold by exploring dangerous places would think of coming here. And he believes that there are only a few in 'The Bridge', let alone in a single territory.

"So, which one should we explore first?"

The discovery of entrances behind magma waterfalls gives them a lot of options to choose from.

"I think it would be best if we split up. Each one of us could pretty much handle a situation on our own and knows when to retreat and to engage," Friedrich suggested.

Kayn smiles after hearing Friedrich's suggestion. This was exactly what he wanted. Aside from getting the Molten Magma Core, he also wants to gather other resources he can find. If others are with him, he would have no other choice but to share those resources with them. Needless to say, the others clearly don't want that as well, so they all benefit from this plan.

That's just the nature of being a part of a party and encountering the same opportunity as them.

As expected…

"I agree!"
