"Did something happen to Qing Lin?"
Xiao Yi Xian looked at Qing Lin in Xiao Ming's arms, took a few steps forward, and asked with some concern.
"There's nothing serious, it's just that when she activated her Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils to subdue that magical beast, she consumed a lot of energy, and she should be able to wake up soon."
Xiao Yi Xian listened to his words and let out a sigh of relief, after so many days together, she was already very fond of this little sister, and it was great that nothing had happened to her.
"It's good that everything is fine, but this Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils is so monstrous, Qing Lin is not even a Dou Practitioner, but she was able to subdue a fourth-rank magical beast." Xiao Yi Xian said in astonishment.
Not because Xiao Ming used only one strike to defeat the Two-Headed Flame Spirit Serpent meant that it was weak, if other ordinary low-star Dou Kings came here, one feared that they would not be able to deal with this magical beast.
"I don't know the name of this magical beast". Xiao Yi Xian took a few steps closer to Xiao Ming and said softly.
"This magic beast is called Two-Headed Flame Spirit Serpent, it usually grows in extremely hot places and feeds by devouring magma, it has a large evolution range, when it is born it is only a first-rank magical beast, but if it has enough time, it is able to evolve into a sixth rank magic beast which is comparable to a Dou Emperor powerhouse. With this fourth-ranked one, I don't know how long it has been in this place."
Xiao Ming and Xiao Yi Xian continued to chat while waiting for Qing Lin to wake up; and some time later, Qing Lin, still in Xiao Ming's arms, slowly woke up, shaking her sleepy little head, she lifted it up to look at Xiao Ming who was holding her, her little face turned slightly red, while her slender fingers rubbed her temples.
Xiao Ming was the first to notice, he lowered his head and said.
"Qing Lin, do you feel any discomfort?"
"No." Qing Lin shook her small head and then added, "Young master, Qing Lin knows where the Heavenly Flame is."
"It's because of that Two-Headed Flame Spirit Serpent, isn't it?"
"Mm." Qing Lin nodded, pursed her little mouth, and smiled, suddenly, she freed herself from Xiao Ming's embrace and trotted towards the entrance of the passageway, then turned around, put her delicate hands around her little mouth, and shouted, "Come here!"
Hearing Qing Lin's shout, the huge Two-Headed Flame Spirit Serpent in the magma lake suddenly moved and then swam slowly toward the entrance of the passageway.
When the Two-Headed Flame Spirit Serpent swam in front of Qing Lin, it meekly lowered its head.
"Young master, I seem to have established a strange connection with it, I can sense its intention, it knows where that Heavenly Flame is." Qing Lin pointed at the meek and obedient Two-Headed Flame Spirit Serpent in front of her and smiled at Xiao Ming, as if expecting to be praised.
"Well done." Xiao Ming smiled and praised her.
"Communicate with it and have it take us to the Heavenly Flame's location."
"Hmm..." Qing Lin closed her eyes for a moment, then opened them and swept her gaze around the surroundings, and finally pointed wryly to the magma lake below and said coyly, "He said that the Heavenly Flame is down there."
"What!" Xiao Yi Xian, who was next to Xiao Ming, was a little surprised, under the magma? She didn't expect the Heavenly Flame to be hidden under the magma, did Xiao Ming have to dive down to find it, wouldn't that be looking for death?
Although Xiao Yi Xian knew Xiao Ming's strength, she couldn't help but worry, which caused her to subconsciously hold his robe tightly.
Even Zi Yan frowned slightly.
After all, under the magma, no one knew what might be there.
Looking at the girls' behavior, Xiao Ming was moved, "It's just magma, you don't need to worry."
If he was an ordinary Dou King, Xiao Ming would definitely not choose to enter the magma depths, but with his Rise of Twin Spirits and Heavenly Flame protection, entering the magma depths was not a problem.
Seeing Xiao Ming's confident look, Xiao Yi Xian felt a bit more relieved, and after realizing that she was holding Xiao Ming's robe tightly, her face turned a bit red as she slowly withdrew her hand.
After explaining to the three girls, Xiao Ming stepped back a bit and directly summoned the Ten Thousand Beast Flame, and scarlet flames covered his entire body.
After doing so, Xiao Ming took a step forward, and amidst Qing Lin and Xiao Yi Xian's worried gazes, his entire body plunged into the magma.
But soon, Xiao Ming surfaced again.
With his body floating in the fiery magma, the red magma slowly flowed around Xiao Ming, a huge bubble slowly surged beside him, then with a bang, some magma splashed towards Xiao Ming's face, but in an instant, it was swallowed by the Ten Thousand Beast Flame on the surface of his body.
"Qing Lin, have the Two-Headed Flame Spirit Serpent lead me to the location of the Heavenly Flame."
Looking at Xiao Ming, whose face was calm, Qing Lin's face relaxed slightly, then she nodded gently, closing her eyes slightly as she passed an order to the Two-Headed Flame Spirit Serpent.
Upon receiving Qing Lin's command, a flash of reluctance clearly crossed the Two-Headed Flame Spirit Serpent's huge pupils, but being under control, it could only let out a hiss towards Xiao Ming, then dived into the magma, disappearing from everyone's sight.
Xiao Ming also followed its example and disappeared into the depths of the magma.
...
The magma was fiery red, but with the protection of the Ten Thousand Beast Flame, Xiao Ming could see some of his surroundings.
Under the protection of the Ten Thousand Beast Flame surrounding him, all the temperature of the outside world dispersed, and a somewhat cool feeling hovered over his body, without feeling the scorching heat at all.
In the fiery red magma world, undercurrents arise, and occasionally there are some extremely fierce undercurrents coming from some unknown places, these undercurrents all contain extremely enormous energy.
But fortunately, the Two-Headed Flame Spirit Serpent is very familiar with this place and is able to find the most suitable route to dive before the undercurrents arrive.
In this fiery red world, there seemed to be no other creatures than the Two-Headed Flame Spirit Serpent.
Of course, it could also be because the Two-Headed Flame Spirit Serpent had purposely guided Xiao Ming to avoid those creatures.
Even if the living conditions here were very harsh, to the level that even a Supreme Lord level magical beast with the strength of the Amethyst Winged Lion King could not come and move freely in a place like this.
Still, Xiao Ming did not doubt the possibility that there were other magical beasts living in the magma, after all, there was a group of lizard men living underneath the Jia Nan Academy, and that was the best example, and of course, the Two-Headed Flame Spirit Serpent itself in front of him was as well.
It didn't matter if there were other magical beasts living in this magma, either way, under the leadership of the Two-Headed Flame Spirit Serpent, Xiao Ming didn't encounter any mishaps along the way.
As he continued to dive towards the seemingly endless bottom of the magma, even with the protection of the Ten Thousand Beast Flame, Xiao Ming was able to vaguely sense that the temperature outside was increasing almost exponentially.
In the fiery red magma, all five senses seemed to have been deprived, even the concept of time was also gradually deprived. Without knowing how much time had passed, when the Dou Qi in Xiao Ming's body had been fairly consumed, he found that the fiery red magma around him had, at some point, turned slightly greenish.
'The Dou Qi in my body has been mostly consumed, and I haven't even seen the shadow of the Heavenly Flame, it's not that easy to descend to the bottom of this magma.'
Xiao Ming sighed, then with a movement of his mind, the Spirit within him, began to slowly emit Dou Qi to replenish the consumption, and with the replenishment of the Spirit, Xiao Ming's Dou Qi soon recovered to normal.
After recovering his Dou Qi, Xiao Ming looked at the green-colored magma around him and said.
'All the magma has started to turn green, so I guess the place where I am is near the Green Lotus Core Flame, let's make the Two-Headed Flame Spirit Serpent speed up.'
Thinking of this, Xiao Ming urged the Two-Headed Flame Spirit Serpent ahead.
Under Xiao Ming's urging, the Two-Headed Flame Spirit Serpent waved its tail and its speed shot up twice.
Twenty minutes later.
The Two-Headed Flame Spirit Serpent that swam rapidly in front of Xiao Ming stopped abruptly.
As Xiao Ming stopped beside it, his gaze locked onto something with a large greenish glow not far away.
Xiao Ming fixed his eyes on the green glow wrapped in magma and surprisingly, he could faintly see, in the middle of that green glow, a green lotus flower, gently standing upright.
"Hehe, the Green Lotus Core Flame, I finally found you."
The Green Lotus Core Flame, which ranks nineteenth in the Heavenly Flame Ranking, is formed deep underground and has undergone the polishing, melting, pressing, and carving of the planet's flame.
When fully formed, its color leans to the greenish side and the lotus core forms a cluster of green flames, called "Green Lotus Flame" or "Green Lotus Core Flame". The strength of this flame is unpredictable. When near volcanoes, it can cause them to erupt, forming a mayira; destructive force.
"Hiss..." Beside him, the Two-Headed Flame Spirit Serpent hissed with its huge mouth, Xiao Ming looked back and found that this magical beast was looking at the green glow with fear in its huge eyes, and its huge body was trembling.
Ignoring the Two-Headed Flame Spirit Serpent, Xiao Ming slowly swam towards the area enveloped by the green light.
As his body entered the green light, the temperature around his body strangely decreased.
Knowing that this was a phenomenon caused by the energy of the surrounding magma being absorbed by the Green Lotus Core Flame, Xiao Ming did not take it seriously.
His eyes looked directly at the green lotus flower in the center.
The green lotus had eight leaves. These eight green-colored leaves were like the most perfect green jade that had formed naturally. To the naked eye, it appeared crystalline, giving people the desire to hold it and not let go.
Inside the lotus, there appeared to be a small lotus platform of about two or three feet. A small fluorescent light was coming out of small holes in the lotus platform.
This light seemed to come from the lotus seeds formed by the purest fire-like energy that was agglomerated.
At the bottom of the green-colored lotus, there was a very narrow and long stem and root. The stem and root were covered with extremely small tentacles. As these tentacles swayed, Xiao Ming could clearly feel its greed, uncontrollably absorbing the surrounding wildfire-type energy.
This green-colored lotus was simply suspended in this endless magma. It was like a duckweed in the vast ocean, wandering everywhere.
If it wasn't for the Two-Headed Flame Spirit Serpent leading the way, with Xiao Ming's skills, even if it took ten days or half a month, it wouldn't have been possible to find a relatively small green lotus flower in such a huge area...
"I also don't know how Medusa managed to find this Heavenly Flame originally."
After muttering for a moment, Xiao Ming carefully avoided the roots and tentacles of the green lotus and arrived above it.
In the center of the small lotus platform, there was a hole the size of a fist, and in the hole, was a green flame, burning brightly.
"Did something happen to Qing Lin?"
Xiao Yi Xian looked at Qing Lin in Xiao Ming's arms, took a few steps forward, and asked with some concern.
"There's nothing serious, it's just that when she activated her Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils to subdue that magical beast, she consumed a lot of energy, and she should be able to wake up soon."
