"This is definitely the right place!"

Taking a deep breath, Elric noticed the smell of sulphur around seemed to be particularly concentrated in this area

Just this alone was enough to let Elric let know the specialness of this place

however, even with that Elric didn't feel the slightest bit of nervousness about the dangers he could encounter upon entering such a death-ridden place

Rather, he was uncharacteristically excited imagining the number of treasures and gains he could fun here

Especially since the abyss gate is almost ready to be used, Elric has already made a plan b in case he encounters any danger

And unsurprisingly, Elric's backup plan was run!

No not running away, rather Elric felt it was more of a tactical retreat 

Yes taking any treasure or gains he might have collected, Elric already set it so he could quickly jump through the abyss gate preserving its gains
