"Moreover, those two killed Wang Wu and dismantled the evil force team of Wang Wu and Zou Shaoyun, which has already done us a great favor. Don't be ungrateful."
Fang Kai stopped and looked at the person who was dissatisfied with Gu Mingyue after hearing the team members' conversation.
He said coldly, "If you're scared, you don't need to go in. Stay here and deal with the monsters that come later. You can also help us when we come back."
After being spoken to by Fang Kai, the disgruntled team members stopped awkwardly in place.
As she walked past them, Gu Mingyue didn't look at them. Two early-stage level three ability users could only grumble a few words, which had no effect on her.
The people complaining about Gu Mingyue were all new members who joined the team after being rescued by Fang Kai outside the Fire Element Black Domain. They were not veterans of the Triumph Team and did not know the relationship between Gu Mingyue and their captain.
This was their second time entering this dark domain. When they were with Fang Kai before, they could stride forward without having to observe carefully. Now, left alone in complete darkness, they felt a sense of fear.
"There is light there, let's not stand in this dark place."
"Anyway, it's just at the edge of a fork in the road, so there shouldn't be any danger," one of the people who stayed behind said.
The others remembered Fang Kai's orders to find a secluded place to hide and not wander around.
But the places where people could hide were all too dark.
They hadn't encountered any danger when they followed Fang Kai through the forked tunnels before.
Among them are many intersections that are becoming increasingly bright.
This one should be fine too, even though it's a path Fang Kai has never taken before.
Just then, several painful screams of humans came from another dark cave entrance, which terrified those who had been left behind.
The more afraid a person is, the more they are willing to run to places with more light.
It's like having just watched porn and being too scared to sleep. But if you turn on the light, you feel safe and can fall asleep. If the light goes out, you'll be even more scared and stay on edge all night waiting for day to come.
The men were so frightened that they turned cold and forgot Fang Kai's orders. They all ran towards the light.
As soon as the last foot landed, the temperature inside the cave suddenly rose several degrees, and the light became even brighter.
Only then did they realize that this was actually a dead end containing a lava pool.
"How can there be a lava pool so close to the exit?" someone cried out in despair as they watched the churning lava from which a monster with fire-filled eyes and billowing black smoke gradually emerged.
"Quickly, get out of here!" someone shouted at the top of their lungs.
Then, when they turned around, they discovered that the entrance to the cave they had just entered was surrounded by a ring of flames.
"It wasn't like this just now!"
"This is the fiery cave the boss mentioned, hurry up and get out! If you're too late, you won't be able to get out! Ahhh!" The person who spoke had just finished shouting when he was grabbed from behind by a skeletal monster engulfed in flames. He was instantly surrounded by intense heat, his clothes were quickly set ablaze, and he immediately became a human torch.
The others also tried to rush out, but the flames at the cave entrance grew stronger and stronger until they filled the entire cave, leaving only their painful screams of helplessness.
Perhaps because they had eaten people, the light from the several cave entrances containing lava pools that were still glowing became even brighter.
On the cave walls, there are some steaming openings that spew out flames more than a meter long, and some smaller openings reveal orange-red lava.
Some unlucky souls happened to be standing directly below these openings, and were either burned by sudden flames or had lava poured into their heads.
Gu Mingyue and the other woman followed Fang Kai and the others deeper into the cave.
The further you go in, the more forks there are; at first, it's just a choice between two paths.
After walking for an hour, we passed through a long tunnel and entered a dark room.
Including the exit they came from, there are a total of six branching paths to choose from in this dark room.
Three flickered with firelight, while three were shrouded in darkness, interspersed with the screams of humans.
Just as Fang Kai was about to enter a dark cave with almost no light, he suddenly heard the cries for help from the humans he had just heard coming from a nearby cave entrance.
The voice sounded very familiar. Gu Mingyue frowned and used her mental detection to penetrate the cave walls that smelled of burning and pinpointed the source of the voice.
"Captain, it's Xiao Sa and the others." Upon hearing the voice of the 'team members,' the members of the Triumph Squad almost lost their ability to judge.
"Could it be that they were afraid of staying at the exit and followed us here? Did they get lost on the side road?"
"Little Sa?" Fang Kai stopped walking into the main road after hearing his teammate's words and tentatively asked the cave that was flickering with a faint firelight.
"Captain, save us! There are two lava monsters here, and we're trapped. They've blocked the entrance with fire so we can't get out."
"Ahhhh~ Captain, I don't want to die! You're an ice-type ability user. If you freeze out the flames at the cave entrance, you can save us. Please come in and save us!"
"Captain, my face was burned by the lava spewed out by the lava monster! It hurts so much!"
Hearing his teammates cry out in pain, Fang Kai was momentarily thrown into disarray.
He turned to Gu Mingyue and the team members behind him and said, "You guys go in first and wait for me. I'll come find you after I rescue them."
The other team members listened to him and obediently stepped into the dark cave fork in the road.
"Brother Fang, don't go in, that's a trap set by the monsters of the Black Domain."
Just as Fang Kai was about to approach the fork in the road cave, Gu Mingyue immediately called out to him and extended countless golden threads, binding Fang Kai's limbs in an instant.
