Bone Spirit Cold Flame? Let's take a bite and see

Facing Yao Lao's Bone Spirit Cold Flame, Ning Su opened his mouth wide and swallowed it all.

The sensation as it entered his mouth was quite unusual.

First came the extreme heat, a universal trait of Heavenly Flames, far hotter than ordinary fire.

Beneath that extreme heat lurked an equally extreme cold.

That was the defining trait of the Bone Spirit Cold Flame: it possessed not only the heat of fire, but also the icy chill of frost.

Ning Su experienced the taste of both ice and fire at once.

It was pretty good.

His Fire Resistance was 100%.

His Cold Resistance was 30%.

They happened to correspond to the two traits of the Bone Spirit Cold Flame.

Though he could not completely ignore it, he could still withstand most of the damage.

Besides, Ning Su was currently devouring the Bone Spirit Cold Flame!

Analyzing the traits of the Bone Spirit Cold Flame...

Successfully devoured a portion of the Bone Spirit Cold Flame!

Heavenly Flame Resistance +10%!

That 10% resistance granted an additional 10% damage immunity on top of his existing Fire Resistance and Cold Resistance.

Moreover, that 10% resistance directly applied to Heavenly Flames. Even if he faced not the Bone Spirit Cold Flame, but the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame, Nihility Devouring Flame, or others, he would still directly negate 10% of the damage!

This tasted really good.

He let out a fiery belch, still wanting more.

"H-He ate it?"

Yao Lao was dumbfounded.

A mere Fifth-Order Magical Beast could actually ignore his Heavenly Flame?

This was the first time he had encountered such a situation!

Furthermore, Ning Su's defense had far exceeded his expectations. He was tough as iron.

And now, even the Bone Spirit Cold Flame could do nothing to Ning Su?

After eating and drinking his fill, Ning Su spewed a sheet of crimson flames from his mouth toward Yao Lao.

Yao Lao raised the Heavy Black Ruler and split the flames in two with a single swing.

Then he discovered that Ning Su had vanished.

Naturally, Ning Su had no reason to fight Yao Lao to the bitter end.

With his current cultivation, he could contend with Yao Lao for a short time, but if the battle dragged on, he would gain no advantage.

Besides, there was no need for him to get tangled up in a meaningless fight and waste time.

"Teacher, did you drive it away?" Xiao Yan asked in surprise.

"It was only a Fifth-Order Magical Beast, yet it could fight me evenly and even devour my Bone Spirit Cold Flame."

"That is definitely no ordinary magical beast!"

Yao Lao could be considered highly knowledgeable.

Back in the Central Continent, it was not as though he had never seen powerful snake-type magical beasts.

The Nine Netherworld Underworld Python, the Ancient Sky Demon Python, and the like were all renowned snake-type magical beasts.

Yet this was the first time he had seen a magical beast that not only feared no Heavenly Flames, but could even swallow one whole!

That was seriously incredible!

"Teacher, forget about it. Let's hurry back and look for the Heavenly Flame."

Xiao Yan's mind was now entirely occupied with finding the Heavenly Flame.

"Mm, let's go back and take a look."

Afterward, Yao Lao brought Xiao Yan back underground.

Through various judgments and analyses, they successfully passed through the magma and arrived at the Earthfire World.

This was where the Green Lotus Core Flame had been nurtured.

But now, all that remained for them was empty space.

Forget the Heavenly Flame—even the scraps had not been left behind!

"The Heavenly Flame aura here is very strong, and this place lies deep within the earthfire. The Green Lotus Core Flame should once have been nurtured here."

"But it has now been taken away by someone," Yao Lao analyzed.

"So we came too late?" Xiao Yan was dumbfounded.

After finally finding this place, he had still missed the Heavenly Flame.

He hated it!

"Teacher, is it possible that the python from earlier took the Heavenly Flame?" Xiao Yan suddenly thought of Ning Su.

Ning Su had also left from here.

"Probably not. If that snake had devoured the Green Lotus Core Flame, it would have used it earlier."

"Did you forget what that little girl Qing Lin said? She sensed an aura passing through here several months ago." Yao Lao said.

Just then, Xiao Yan suddenly spotted a seven-colored scale on the ground and picked it up.

"Teacher, what is this?"

"Seven-Colored Snake Scale... There aren't many in the Tagor Desert who can possess such scales."

"It was either that snake from earlier, or Queen Medusa of the Snake-People Race."

"But the lingering aura on this scale differs from that snake's aura, so it was most likely left behind by Queen Medusa." Yao Lao analyzed.

Xiao Yan thought for a moment. "So that means Queen Medusa took the Heavenly Flame?"

"Most likely."

"What does she want the Heavenly Flame for? The Snake-People Race shouldn't be able to absorb Heavenly Flames, right?"

"I don't know. But now that we know where the Heavenly Flame is, things will be easier. We can go to the Snake-People Race and look for it," Yao Lao said.

"Huh? We're going to steal the Heavenly Flame?"

"What are you afraid of? With your teacher here, even if we can't take it, we can still retreat unharmed. Are you scared?"

"How could I be? Let's go to the Snake-People Race and steal the Heavenly Flame!"

Xiao Yan was brimming with confidence. There was no way he would chicken out!

Snake-People Race.

Ning Su shrank his body and returned to the Royal City.

The moment he returned to the bedchamber, Medusa caught him.

"Little Black, where did you run off to again?!"

Medusa angrily grabbed him by the neck.

"Let me smell you. What did you sneak off to eat today?"

She held Ning Su up as if scolding a child, then sniffed his aura.

"Huh? You didn't sneak out to eat today? You don't seem to smell like anything."

What was that supposed to mean?!

What did she mean, sneaking food?!

She had no time to pay attention to him, so couldn't he go out and play by himself for a while?

Ning Su twisted his body indignantly and struggled free from Medusa's hand.

This woman was getting more and more outrageous!

Was she bullying him because he couldn't speak?!

"Alright, alright. It's my fault for being busy these past few days and neglecting you."

The moment she saw Ning Su was angry, Medusa quickly softened.

She had been busy researching the Heavenly Flame lately, so she had neglected Ning Su somewhat.

"Come here, let me hold you. Don't be upset anymore."

Medusa gathered Ning Su into her arms and rubbed her cheek against his head.

This woman... she only knew how to use this trick.

Don't think it would work every time, hey!

Ning Su roared inwardly as he rested his head against Medusa's breasts.

For the sake of this soft, ample pillow, he decided to forgive Medusa for now.

"But I really have a lot to deal with lately. If you go out to play by yourself, Little Black, you must be careful and stay safe, understand?" Medusa said.

Ning Su rubbed against her chest, indicating that he understood.

Medusa should be nearly ready to use the Heavenly Flame to evolve.

This timing was crucial.

Because Ning Su knew that when Medusa evolved, a whole crowd of people would come.

Gu He, Yun Yun, Xiao Yan—they would all be coming for the Heavenly Flame.

In the original story, although Medusa successfully evolved, she temporarily became the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python and was then taken away by Xiao Yan.

Now that Ning Su was here, he would never let that happen.

But when the time came, another clash with Xiao Yan would be unavoidable, and it would certainly be fiercer than their last fight.

He needed to use this window of time to raise his cultivation as much as possible.
