Heading to the Underground Magma World

"Little Black, you ate it? Can you digest it?"

Medusa was somewhat worried.

After all, this was Ning Su's first time eating a Magical Beast of the same level.

It would be bad if something went wrong from eating it carelessly.

"Hiss~"

Ning Su straightened his body, indicating that he was fine.

A mere Ice Spirit Ghost Wolf—wasn't it easy enough to handle?

"As long as you're fine."

Medusa held him in her arms and left the volcano.

They returned to the Snake-People Race.

The first thing Medusa did was place the Ice Spirit Cold Spring safely inside the Forbidden Land.

The Green Lotus Core Flame was here, so with the Ice Spirit Cold Spring kept here, there was no need to worry about the Heavenly Flame going berserk.

This would also allow Medusa to prepare for her evolution with greater peace of mind.

"Little Black, you can't secretly drink this Ice Spirit Cold Spring, understand?"

Seeming to recall something, Medusa gave Ning Su, who was beside her, a stern and serious warning.

Ning Su was deeply dissatisfied.

Was he the kind of snake who liked to steal food?

Could she not judge him with such filthy thoughts, hey?!

"Alright, alright, I know Little Black is good and won't steal food." Seeing Ning Su's displeasure, Medusa hurriedly soothed him.

Although Ning Su could not speak or make any expressions right now,

after spending so much time with him, Medusa could still clearly sense changes in his emotions.

Perhaps this was what it meant for their hearts to understand each other.

Outside the Snake-People Royal City.

Two figures flickered in and out of sight amid the Wind and Sand.

"I didn't expect that woman Medusa really brought the Heavenly Flame back. Green Barbarian, what do you think she wants to do?" The Eight-Winged Black Snake Emperor was curious.

"If I'm not mistaken, she intends to use the Heavenly Flame to complete her evolution and break into the Dou Zong realm," Green Barbarian said.

"Use a Heavenly Flame to break through? Is she tired of living?! The Snake-People Race's constitution is naturally restrained by Heavenly Flames!"

"Who knows? If she had no confidence, Medusa shouldn't be foolish enough to risk her life."

"But if she really breaks through to Dou Zong, things will be different."

"Forget about her. Don't forget our mission—find the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils first." Green Barbarian brought the topic back to business.

"White Fang, are you sure your senses weren't wrong? Are the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils really over here?"

They had come to the Jia Ma Empire this time to find the legendary Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils.

To do so, they had spent no small amount of time and effort traveling all over the place.

"There's no mistake. The Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils are here. If they aren't with the Snake-People Race, then they're on the human side." White Fang was certain that his senses were correct.

"It's hard to investigate on the Snake-People side, so let's check the human cities first."

The figures of the man and beast vanished into the Wind and Sand.

Medusa had recently been constantly visiting the Dou Technique Pavilion.

She was looking through all kinds of records on using Heavenly Flames for evolution.

Now that she had acquired the Heavenly Flame and prepared sufficient Ice Spirit Cold Spring, the conditions were in place for her to begin evolving with the Heavenly Flame.

But this matter was of great importance. Medusa did not dare act rashly; she had to consider every aspect and could not afford the slightest mistake!

Ning Su could not help her much for the time being, so he did not cling to Medusa. Instead, he went out on his own to look for something to eat.

He had to keep eating to raise his cultivation.

With Medusa so busy and having no time to feed him, he could only fend for himself.

Upon reaching the edge of the desert,

Ning Su's first thought was not to look for Magical Beasts.

Instead, he thought of the place where the Green Lotus Core Flame had been born—Medusa had only brought the Green Lotus Core Flame back.

But there should still be a Green Lotus Seat there, along with quite a few Earth Fire Lotus Seeds. They were all treasures.

In the original story, Xiao Yan would take all of them.

But with Ning Su here now, how could he leave such good things for Xiao Yan? He had to take them quickly!

Thus, Ning Su set off toward the outskirts of the desert.

But he soon ran into a problem—he did not know the exact location where the Green Lotus Core Flame had been born.

Medusa had gone there alone back then. Only she knew the location; Ning Su only knew the general direction.

"I remember it seemed to be closer to the human cities. I'll go take a look first."

Ning Su picked a rough direction and set off.

Heaven did not disappoint a determined snake.

When Medusa had acquired the Green Lotus Core Flame, she had been injured by it, leaving behind some residual aura.

When Ning Su arrived nearby, he sensed the aura Medusa had left behind when she was injured, and successfully followed that faint trace to find the entrance!

"This should be the place."

Having found the entrance, Ning Su grew somewhat excited and immediately slipped inside.

Following the winding passage, Ning Su eventually arrived in a world of magma.

The surrounding magma was fiery red, bubbling from time to time.

This was the first layer.

The Green Lotus Core Flame was in the world beneath the magma, so he still needed to go deeper.

But Ning Su was in no hurry—there was so much magma before him. How was he supposed to get down?

"This magma contains quite a bit of energy too. I can try devouring some of it."

Ning Su came to the surface of the magma and began trying to absorb the energy within it.

Successfully absorbed fire elemental energy from magma. Fire Resistance +1%!

Successfully absorbed fire elemental energy from magma. Fire Resistance +1%!

Ning Su could not only gain power by devouring Magical Beasts or other heavenly treasures.

The spiritual energy that existed between heaven and earth could also be devoured, but that was no different from ordinary cultivation and was very slow.

Magma also contained its own fire element.

Of course he could absorb it!

It was just that the energy within the magma was pitifully scarce. Ning Su absorbed it for ten minutes without feeling much difference.

His Fire Resistance, on the other hand, kept rising.

Successfully absorbed fire elemental energy from magma. Fire Resistance +1%!

The fire elemental energy in the magma has reached its devouring limit!

Total Fire Resistance +70%!

He had not absorbed much energy, but his Fire Resistance had increased substantially.

With 70% Fire Resistance, he should be able to withstand the burning damage of most magma.

"Good. Time to move!"

Ning Su transformed into a massive Five-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python and plunged into the magma with a splash.

With the boost from his 70% Fire Resistance, he only felt as though he were soaking in hot water.

It was a little hot, but he could endure it.

But just then, a figure in the magma ahead rapidly charged toward him.

"You dare block my path?"

Ning Su did not fear it and directly swung his massive tail.

Bang!

The two sides collided head-on, and neither gained an advantage.

Ning Su also saw the newcomer clearly—it was a Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake!

The Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake was the guardian here. To pass through this magma and enter the Earthfire World, he had to get past it first!

"A mere Fourth-Order Magical Beast dares cause trouble for me?"

Ning Su took the initiative to attack, charging toward the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake...
