Outside the cave.
"That kid has disappeared." Li Bai sensed the surroundings, then turned to look back at the cave behind him.
"He might have been swarmed by the lava monsters and turned into ash," Han Xin speculated.
"Haha, when the boss is in trouble, there's no one to save him," Xiang Yu joked.
"Let's go!" Li Bai leaped towards their next target.
Bald Qiang and the others quickly followed.
...
Of course, Li Teng hadn't turned to ash.
He simply didn't want to reveal himself.
So he waited until Li Bai and the others had left before he moved.
Then he got a bit lost, which delayed him slightly.
When he encountered a group of Magma Imps, he couldn't resist trying to summon his Battle Armor and the newly learned Hellfire Skill.
So the delay was somewhat extended.
By the time he arrived outside the cave, it was deserted.
To figure out where Li Bai and others had gone, Li Teng had no choice but to run towards the nearest highest mountain and climb to the peak.
