Leon led his team through the wide gorge, eventually reaching the volcanic heart of the Fire Valley.
Here, the nutrient pipes that originated from the embryo stretched toward a towering volcano in the distance.
Martin, noticing this, couldn’t help but remark,
"They’re drawing power directly from the volcano… I’ve never heard of anything like this before."
Leon furrowed his brows and explained,
"This isn’t an ordinary volcano. Remember what the records said? After the Flame Demon died, its body became the source of everything in the Fire Valley. The magma flowing inside these volcanoes carries the residual power of the Flame Demon."
Martin nodded in realization. "That makes sense."
Rebecca, meanwhile, finished assembling her hand cannon, shouldered it, and glanced at Leon.
"So, Captain, should we just blow up these pipes?"
"Let’s check them out first," Leon replied.
