Yesterday we rested the entire day, and now we're all in excellent condition.
Our injuries were healed, our physical strength that had been lost was back and our near depleted mana was fully recovered.
In addition, for breakfast we had [Golden Heffalump] and [Volcanic Blue Orc King].

Upon obtaining the field boss's abilities I wanted to dance with joy, however I still needed to know what these abilities do. Later on, when I have time, I'll test them out.
Now that we are fully rested we wanted to continue our conquest from the middle of the dungeon with full strength, so we moved on the Great Skeleton Centipede.
Yesterdays descent, thanks to use of [Skeleton Centipede], was quite easy and fast. But, as we went back to the place where we were yesterday, resistance from monsters encountered on the way was rising rapidly. As such, when we finally arrived in the middle of the dungeon the [Great Skeleton Centipede] was severely damaged.
Although thanks to Kugime-chan's radar we avoided attacks as best as we could, and we're now moving at full speed, but as expected it cannot get through without taking any damage.
There was a lot of intense damage scattered all over our ride. I think I will fix it later.
With that said, thanks to the Great Skeleton Centipede that was used to reduce the time needed to cross to our destination, we now resume our conquest.
When you cross the stony slopes of volcanic rock where our fight took place yesterday you will come upon a forest of flaming trees.
Many of the trees growing in that forest have leaves that burn with constant live fire, generating heat that is at the same level as the lava lake.
If only the flames grew on several of them... However, as there were several hundred thousand of them they became a problem.
Irofu and Kanami had expressions of discontent as they are weak to the heat, but that issue was addressed with frequent use of [Hyper cooling liquid] which can be obtained quite often from all monster species living on hills.
[Hyper Cooling liquid] is the higher grade version of [Cooling liquid] obtained in Labyrinth City Radha Lo Dara, with enhanced effects and time duration.
Although it is a very expensive consumable item in high heat areas like the [Forest of flaming trees] it becomes one of the indispensable essentials.
The dungeon monsters living here had an outward appearance very similar to the flaming trees, [Fire Treant] as well as their highest kin [Lava Treant], and as such are hard to spot among them. They love to attack from blind spots with their flaming branches, as well as using magic to control the high temperatures in the forest fire of the countless trees; their attacks were very distressing.
