At that moment, Du Gubo addressed Ye Feng with a look of utter surprise.
His whole demeanor expressed extreme bewilderment.
"Why has it suddenly become hotter and hotter out of nowhere?"
"It's extremely strange, indeed."
At the same time, Du Gubo truly believed that Ye Feng was wasting his energy.
"What's the situation now? His Third Soul Skill: Azure Dragon Annihilation is completely useless against the Platinum White Wolf Emperor."
Yet Ye Feng still continued to launch attacks against his opponent.
"Isn't that just provoking the enemy?"
The key is, it provokes without causing any harm.
It's a total waste of physical strength.
"Useless? Haha, just wait and see, Old Poison," Ye Feng said with a smug smile.
At that instant, one could see Ye Feng's grinning expression as he spoke.
"Wait and see? What scheme are you hatching now, you old flayer?" Du Gubo asked, his expression even more perplexed now.
He genuinely couldn't understand why this old flayer was always so confident.
Truthfully, he was a Titled Douluo, battle-hardened as well.
But in the face of the current situation, he was completely clueless, with no idea what to do.
However, the old flayer remained looking untroubled throughout.
People are the same; they inevitably become flustered when facing desperate situations. They might even make mistakes.
In short, absolutely no one could be as confident as this old flayer.
Even if someone was pretending, they could only keep it up for a short time.
But this guy had maintained such a self-assured façade all along.
Does he really have a way to deal with it?
But what exactly could that be??
Du Gubo was puzzled and frustrated, but there was nothing he could do if the flayer didn't speak up.
"Let me keep you in suspense a while longer, you'll find out soon enough," Ye Feng told Du Gubo.
Now was not the time to tell.
But the plan would soon be put into action.
"You flayer, whatever, but haven't you noticed it's getting hotter?" asked Du Gubo.
The further forward he went, the more he felt a deadly heat engulfing him.
As if he was wrapped in a sea of fire.
"Of course I've noticed, since we are in front of a lava area, naturally it's getting hotter," Ye Feng replied.
"Lava area?" Du Gubo looked utterly shocked, wondering how they ended up near the lava all of a sudden.
Didn't that mean the road ahead was increasingly dangerous?
"Of course. Did you forget what I told you before? This is an active volcano, and the path we're on leads down to its base. Therefore, coming across lava is quite normal, isn't it?" Ye Feng asked Du Gubo.
"Uh..." Du Gubo's expression became flustered.
"Wait, you flayer, don't tell me—!!"
Suddenly, Du Gubo's eyes widened as if he had come to a startling realization, staring intently at Ye Feng.
A most audacious plan had just popped into his mind!
"Haha, just as you suspected."
Ye Feng's mouth curled slightly into a smile.
Now that Du Gubo had guessed it himself, there was no need for any pretenses.
Soul beasts could understand human speech but unless explicitly told, he guessed they would fail to catch on for a while.
By the time they did, it would probably be too late.
"But this won't work. I've already used up my last Ninth Soul Skill and can only maintain my Martial Soul True Body now. How can I make this happen!!"
It had been only a speculation before.
But when Ye Feng actually confirmed it, Du Gubo was utterly astounded.
This fellow was bold.
He intended to lure the Gold-striped White Wolf Emperor into the volcanic magma.
To use the volcanic magma to kill the Gold-striped White Wolf Emperor was indeed a viable plan.
If everyone had been in peak condition, that is.
But now that he was completely exhausted, he could only sustain his Martial Soul True Body.
There was simply no way to push the opponent into the magma.
There was also a very severe flaw in the plan.
The opponent was the ruler of this region and surely knew about the volcano; and as a hundred-thousand-year soul beast, it undoubtedly was aware of the magma beneath an active volcano.
Given this, it would surely be on its guard.
Catching it off guard and pushing it into the lava seemed like wishful thinking.
Du Gubo's expression grew grave.
He feared that Ye Feng, in his overconfidence, would slip up.
If that happened, they would truly be doomed.
After all, magma was behind them, and there would be no chance to run.
They could only wait for death!
"Old Poison, don't worry about these things. We are about to reach the end of the cave, just run to the right side when it's time, and leave the rest to me," Ye Feng told Du Gubo directly.
"Alright then."
Although Du Gubo didn't understand what Ye Feng planned to do, he chose to trust him.
Soon, they saw light.
It was the underground exit of the volcano.
In one area, they could even see moonlight.
Instantly, Du Gubo's heart sank again.
Everyone knew that the Golden Patterned White Wolf Emperor could absorb moonlight to recover.
Once outside, it could directly absorb the moonlight to heal itself.
Could it be that the flayer had miscalculated?!
Because once the golden radiance was released, their attacks would be useless against the opponent.
And once it regained full strength, they wouldn't have the slightest chance of pushing it into the lava!
The best opportunity was to act while the opponent was still wounded.
"Our success or failure is all in your hands now."
At that moment, Ye Feng's hand suddenly produced a pill.
It was his Endure for One Minute Pill.
This pill could provide infinite Soul Power for one minute, increase attack power tenfold, and grant an Invincible Golden Body for sixty seconds.
