Thousands of people had already died on the island, more than a thousand, and the rest were still in the middle of evacuating. However, safety was far from guaranteed, and Ding Fan didn't dare walk away from this mess, afraid some new accident might happen.
Half an hour later, the volcano stopped spouting water, and the water level in the crater was dropping rapidly. Ding Fan and Heavenly Tree Elder Gao climbed up to the crater and looked down at the bottomless pit below; for a long while, neither of them spoke.
"Do you want to go down and take a look?" After a while, Chi Fan said to Heavenly Tree Elder Gao, "What if there really is Treasure down there?"
Heavenly Tree Elder Gao's heart was already itching a bit, but after he glanced at the Tigertooth Apes standing beside Ding Fan, he said, "This old man wouldn't dare go down alone. If we're going, you and your Tigertooth Apes are coming with me."
