What surprises Lin Feng isn't the appearance of this platform, but the bright light emanating from it. Despite being several kilometers deep into the cave, the unexpected presence of light here catches Lin Feng off guard.

"Could someone be living here?" Lin Feng wonders upon seeing the light on the platform.

However, Lin Feng quickly dismisses the idea. The fact is, there are no inhabitants here.

As Lin Feng descended toward the platform, he noticed the temperature rising steadily. By the time he reached the platform, it was almost 40 to 50 degrees Celsius. Even as a practitioner, Lin Feng wouldn't endure this temperature for long.

Not to mention the dangerous presence here; under normal circumstances, no one would choose to live in such a place.

To confirm his suspicion, Lin Feng walks toward the platform.

With each step, Lin Feng feels the temperature rising until he reaches the center of the platform and realizes what it is.

It's a cliff, with rolling magma below and steam rising. The white mist seen at the cave entrance is likely formed from the magma here.

There's no path beyond the cliff, just endless magma.

"No wonder it's so hot here; it's a volcano," Lin Feng realizes, looking down at the fiery pit below. This confirms his earlier assumption.

Lin Feng's understanding of volcanoes was limited to volcanic cones. But this expansive magma pool challenges his traditional concept of volcanoes. Perhaps the crater is elsewhere, Lin Feng muses, considering the lack of smoke seen earlier in the cave.

Scanning the platform, Lin Feng searches for other exits. The platform is vast, about the size of ten football fields, making it challenging to find alternative routes.

Fortunately, there are no other dangerous creatures on the platform, which speeds up Lin Feng's search. After an hour, he makes some progress.

Lin Feng discovers three caves in one corner of the platform, similar in size and shape. They are about ten meters apart and on the same side of the platform. But there's something shocking.

Each cave bears inscriptions on it, though they're somewhat blurred with time.

However, that's not the most important thing. The inscriptions are in a language Lin Feng doesn't recognize.

It's a language unknown to Lin Feng, suggesting a different civilization.

While the text in Lin Feng's world is similar to his original world, he's learned that the world he's in now, including Lin Yu's and Lin Feng's languages, is different.

But the text in front of him is entirely unfamiliar, and the meaning on the caves is incomprehensible to Lin Feng. Frowning at the inscriptions, Lin Feng feels apprehensive.

He takes a photo of the cave with his flashlight, but there's a pause. Without entering, he can't assess the situation inside.

Choosing a cave to enter is risky; if the inscription indicates danger, Lin Feng wouldn't know until he enters. There could be serious consequences.

Yet, not going in means facing the three blood bats outside the cave and potentially encountering something even more perilous. Lin Feng finds himself in a dilemma.

With determination, Lin Feng chooses the leftmost cave and enters.

The cave is more spacious than expected. After walking about ten meters, Lin Feng reaches a bend. Holding his rifle ready, he turns the corner, aiming ahead.
