The Battle Through Heaven
Under The Crypt
A moment before Xiao Yan was about to enter the fiery red magma lake, a thick white flame suddenly flowed out from his body and wrapped him up.
"Splash ..." His body shot into the magma, causing the fiery red magma to splatter in all directions.
Hearing this voice, Xiao Ding and Qing Lin above hurriedly turned their gazes towards the magma where there were some ripples. However, they did not see a human figure …
"Where is he?" Watching the scene that showed something had instantly evaporated, Xiao Ding subconsciously turned to Qing Lin by his side and shouted.
"Aah?" Qing Lin took a step back. His face was pale as he stared at the calm magma lake. The person who had just jumped into it seemed to instantly turn into ashes as he came into contact with the magma, without even letting out a scream.
"Hiss ..." The hissing sound of the Flame Spirit Serpent was suddenly emitted from the magma.
Hearing this hissing sound, a joyous expression appeared on Qing Lin's face. His gaze hurriedly swept over the magma. A human figure covered with thick white flames suddenly emerged from the magma and smiled as he waved towards Xiao Ding and Qing Lin above.
"Thank God .. luckily nothing happened." Looking at Xiao Yan who seemed to be ignoring the hot magma around him, Xiao Ding finally and actually heaved a sigh of relief. His entire body sat on the ground exhaustedly as he wiped the cold sweat off his face.
Xiao Yan watched the fiery red magma that was flowing slowly around him with a shocked face as his entire body floated in the hot magma. A large air bubble appeared on his side, With ‘blast’, it burst open and some magma shot towards Xiao Yan's face. However, in the blink of an eye, it was consumed by a thick layer of white flames.
With his body protected by a thick layer of white flames, the temperature outside seemed to have been pushed aside. A somewhat ice-cold feeling floated around his body instead of the heat that should have been there.
Xiao Yan raised some fiery red magma in his hand and let it flow down from the gap between his fingers. He patted his lips in surprise. Connecting with the magma in such a close distance made his heart goosebumps. If the flames that enveloped him suddenly disappeared, then the end of his life
Thinking of the image of the grasshopper jumping and shrinking in a frying pan, Xiao Yan felt a chill as he shivered violently. His face also became a little bit paler. TL: This is a Chinese dish where live grasshoppers are roasted
"Little boy, hurry up. Although I can manipulate ‘Bone Chilling Flame’ and protect you temporarily, it consumes a large amount of my Spiritual Strength. After I lose the Spiritual Strength necessary to maintain it, you will be instantly burnt to ashes by the Cold Fire Bone even before the magma engulfs you. So, stop wasting time. Before my Spiritual Strength runs out, you must leave this magma lake. Otherwise, the image of the grasshopper in the frying pan you thought of earlier will come true. " When Xiao Yan repeatedly sighed in shock, Yao Lao's laughter suddenly sounded in his heart.
"Yes." Yeah." With his mouth twitching a few times, Xiao Yan hurriedly nodded in seriousness. He turned around, looked at the large Two-headed Fire Spirit Snake nearby and laughed, "Hey Big Head, show me the way."
Hearing Xiao Yan's cry, the Flame Spirit Serpent ignored him. It shifted its head to face the exit of the tunnel and waited for Qing Lin to nod his head and issue an order before reluctantly turning his body around and diving into the magma.
Seeing that the Flame Spirit Serpent caused circle after circle of ripples to form on the surface of the magma lake, Xiao Yan gently exhaled. After which, he dived into the magma and followed behind the Flame Spirit Serpent.
Everything was glowing red within the magma. However, with the protection of the ‘Bone Chilling Flame’, Xiao Yan could vaguely see the surroundings. His gaze swept out once before he swiftly moved his body and followed the Flame Spirit Serpent diving towards the deepest region of the magma.
In the fiery red magma, the undercurrent surged. Occasionally, there would be a ferocious magma wave under the current emerging from an unknown direction. This lower current contained an enormous amount of energy. If one of them was hit, even a Da Dou Shi would be severely injured.
However, Xiao Yan was lucky because the Flame Spirit Serpent was very familiar with the place. Before the undercurrent arrived, it would be able to find the most suitable route to sneak in. Xiao Yan, who was following behind him, also took the opportunity to successfully dodge the undercurrents of the magma.
In this blazing red world, there seemed to be no living beings other than the Flame Spirit Serpent. This is not surprising. After all, the requirements to survive here were simply too harsh. Other than the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake who was a strange beast that relied on eating magma to live, other Magical Beasts were even Magical Beasts like Gods like the Amethyst Winged Lion, after all, will not be able to freely move in a place like this without being affected by the environment.
As Xiao Yan continued to head downwards in a never-ending manner towards the bottom of the magma, he could vaguely sense that the temperature of the outside world was doubling even with the protection of ‘Bone Cooler Fire’.
Sensing this phenomenon, Xiao Yan involuntarily swallowed his saliva. His lips trembled slightly, looking slightly blue. People who have never experienced this kind of environment will have trouble imagining the idea of swimming inside the magma. It was only slightly different from dancing on the blade of the angel of death …
As he went deeper and deeper into the bottom of the dungeon, a slight mistake would mean that even with Yao Lao's protection, Xiao Yan's extremely fragile life would be extinguished.
While Xiao Yan was scared and trembling due to his meaningless life, the Flame Spirit Serpent still showed no signs of stopping. It did not turn its head to see if Xiao Yan had caught up while swimming towards the area within the dungeon excitedly.
In this kind of environment where he lost all five senses, Xiao Yan did not know the actual flow of time. He only knew that after continuing in this machine-like manner, his legs already felt a little numb.
"Little boy, within half an hour, you should be back!" Just as Xiao Yan was feeling a little dazed as he followed behind the descending Flame Spirit Serpent, Yao Lao's serious voice suddenly sounded.
"We have gone down deeper and deeper. Look at the magma outside " Yao Lao said in a deep voice.
Hearing Yao Lao's words, Xiao Yan hurriedly raised his gaze. He was startled when he realized that the fiery red magma around him had unknowingly turned a little greenish.
"What's going on?" Xiao Yan asked in shock as his swimming speed slowly slowed down.
"This is a transformation caused by rapidly rising temperatures. The current temperature of the surrounding magma quickly reached a limit I could withstand. " Yao Lao's voice contained unprecedented seriousness.
"…" Hearing this, the corner of Xiao Yan's mouth twitched. The sweat on his forehead fell like dripping water as he muttered, "No way! Isn't ‘Bone Chilling Flame’ ranked eleventh in the ‘Heavenly Flame’ rankings? Don't tell me that the ‘Api Heavenly’ below is even fiercer than Master's ‘Fire Cold’? "
"You can't say it like this. I am now in a spirit state and cannot display much power ‘Fire Cold Bone’. Moreover, I have to borrow your body to release it. In this way, his strength spread even further. Adding to the pressure from the surrounding magma and the rising temperature, half an hour was my limit. " Yao Lao quickly explained.
"Alright, make the most of your time." After urging Xiao Yan, Yao Lao once again fell silent. It seems like he did not dare to be diverted, at least any accident should occur from the protection of the ‘Bone Chilling Flame’.
Nodding with a bitter smile, Xiao Yan once again looked at the surrounding magma that turned slightly green. He subconsciously shouted forward, "Hey, how far?"
Xiao Yan knew that Magical Beasts at the Dou Ling level already possessed intelligence that could not be underestimated. So, he was not worried that it could not understand him.
The voice of Xiao Yan was carried by Dou Qi as it passed through the magma barrier and entered the ear of the Flame Spirit Serpent in front. The latter turned his large head, randomly hissing out some sounds and suddenly increasing his descending speed.
"Damn ..." Looking at the actions of the Flame Spirit Serpent, Xiao Yan could not resist the curse. After hesitating for a moment, he clenched his teeth tightly and kicked his legs hard. His body which was enveloped by thick white flames, turned into a white shadow and suddenly shot downwards.
Xiao Yan's body passed through the magma that almost turned completely green. The sweat on his face kept dripping into his eyes. Although it felt a little painful, Xiao Yan did not even dare to blink his eyes, afraid that he would be left behind by the Flame Spirit Serpent who suddenly increased his speed.
"Che, how much more do you want to put down?" As he continued to descend, Xiao Yan could clearly sense that the temperature was interfering with his body despite the protection from the ‘Bone Chilling Flame’.
"Ten minutes! Damnit. If I don't see ‘Heavenly Fire’ in ten minutes, I'll stop looking! " The repeatedly shivering Xiao Yan tightened his trembling fists when he realized that even his voice was beginning to tremble at this moment.
A few moments later.
Eight minutes! The corner of his mouth twitched as Xiao Yan shouted in a low voice.
The Flame Spirit Serpent continued to ignore him as he descended with all his might.
Four minutes! Xiao Yan's voice was completely dry as he shouted.
"Two minutes!" Xiao Yan realized that his heart was pounding in unprecedented terms.
"Damn. I'll be back. Not looking anymore! " With red eyes, Xiao Yan's descending body suddenly stopped. Without any unnecessary words, he firmly turned around and started swimming upwards with a pale expression.
However, the moment Xiao Yan turned around, the Flame Spirit Beast swung its huge tail and wrapped around Xiao Yan's waist. Its tail was covered by a rich deep red flame. Although the flame repeatedly turned into nothingness when it came into contact with the thick white flame, the immense power it contained still pulled Xiao Yan back violently.
"Damn it, have I been played by this beast?" The moment when he was pulled back by the Flame Spirit Serpent, a shocking thought suddenly flashed through his mind.
This thought had just appeared when Xiao Yan was thrown in front of the Flame Spirit Beast. As he was busy dancing, he turned his gaze to look for a path. However, he suddenly froze on the green-colored luminous object at close range.
A green colored light covered the magma in this region. When Xiao Yan calmed down and turned his head, he faintly saw the green-colored lotus within the green light that stood softly and gently.
"Fire Green Lotus Core ‘?" As Xiao Yan glanced at this green-colored lotus, a dumbfounded and excited Yao Lao laughter suddenly sounded in his heart.
