In the face of absolute strength, any battle plan was just empty air. A mere fourth-tier Fire Spirit Snake posed no threat at all.

If not to catch a pet for little Qing Lin and want it to lead the way, Chen Guan wouldn't even need to use puppets.

Or he could also use it as a whetstone to temper himself, just like Hai Bodong.

Unfortunately, he had no mind to play with it right now.

He scattered the puppets around the periphery of the magma. Wang Dalang volunteered himself, relying on ghostly footwork to court death in various ways above the magma, stirring up waves of commotion to attract the hatred of the Fire Spirit Snake.

A fourth-tier magical beast already possessed spiritual intelligence, though not very high, much like a little child. Provoked like this by Wang Dalang, it naturally grew furious.

Streaks of magma pillars shot out fiercely, with the Fire Spirit Snake following closely behind, emitting an angry roar, swearing to tear this hateful little shorty into pieces.

Leveraging the geographical advantage of the magma, the strength the Fire Spirit Snake erupted with at this moment was quite impressive, making even the three-star Dou Spirit Wang Dalang feel scalp numbing.

However, this was only an instinctive reaction. Wang Dalang felt no fear in his heart, and even wanted to laugh. So what if you're stronger than me? You're still a stupid beast in the end.

Facing the anger of the Fire Spirit Snake, Wang Dalang casually countered with a casual Wind Blade with the back of his hand.

The power was minimal, and the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake didn't even break its skin taking it head-on, but the insult was extremely potent.

The already dim-witted Fire Spirit Snake completely lost its sanity, with only one thing in its eyes: kill this little shorty.

Unfortunately, its expectations were destined to remain unfulfilled.

Just as it broke away from the magma and opened its mouth to attack, over ten Dou Ling-grade puppets suddenly burst forth from all directions, sealing off all its escape routes.

In an instant, there was no path to heaven and no door to enter the earth.

The Fire Spirit Snake was frozen by this lineup for half a second, and immediately, a one-sided beating ensued.

Considering that Qing Lin had awakened her Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils two years earlier than in the original work, Chen Guan had the puppets beat the Fire Spirit Snake half to death, leaving it with zero power to resist, before finally stopping and tossing it up.

Its massive body was forty to fifty feet long, looking quite visually impactful, though at the moment it was covered in scars, and its sense of oppression was severely lacking.

Bringing Qing Lin before the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake, Chen Guan looked toward the girl, only to find that she didn't seem as terrified of this large snake—which could kill her with a single casual strike—as he had imagined.

Fear existed, but it was just that.

Even so, Chen Guan could still sense that she had some curiosity and wanted to touch it.

This appearance left one truly speechless.

Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils, the bane of snake-type magical beasts. Truly well-earned! "Girl, come over and try. Focus your concentration on staring into its eyes, and try to use your mind to communicate with it, making it submit to you."

Qing Lin wasn't all that terrified, which actually made things much more convenient.

Hearing Chen Guan's encouragement, Qing Lin clenched her sleeves tightly as she stepped forward and stood firmly, looking down condescendingly at the Fire Spirit Snake on the ground, and glanced nervously at the young master.

"Believe in yourself, you can do it."

Qing Lin nodded forcefully, clenched her small fists, and cheered herself up in her heart, vowing not to let the young master down.

Wang Yan and his brother, however, were somewhat puzzled and couldn't help sizing up the girl a bit more, realizing for the first time that she didn't seem as simple as she looked on the surface.

Having just started at the Dou Zhi Qi stage, she could subdue and control a fourth-tier magical beast?

Such a magical thing was something they wouldn't even dare to imagine in the past.

Having no time to clear up their confusion, Chen Guan kept his gaze fixed tightly on the girl's eyes. As Qing Lin's focus grew increasingly intense, three tiny green dots abruptly emerged beside her emerald-green pupils, expanding and changing from blurry to incomparably clear, resembling three small flower buds blooming, wreathed in a faint glow that appeared immensely bizarre.

Noticing this scene, even someone with Chen Guan's current spiritual power felt dazed for a split second, and the two curious brothers beside him fared even worse, spending two or three breaths in a daze before snapping back to their senses (having let their guard down).

This thing completely defied all reason!

If it could do this to a human, let alone the Fire Spirit Snake that looked directly into the girl's twin pupils, it had fallen into it at the very first instant, and its struggling movements even came to a halt.

Chen Guan and the others didn't dare to speak and interrupt, quietly awaiting the result.

As time passed second by second, even Chen Guan, who had the most confidence in Qing Lin, couldn't help but worry.

He saw that the girl's small face had turned slightly pale from its initial rosiness, fine beads of sweat had oozed onto her forehead, and even her body was trembling slightly—this was a manifestation of excessive energy consumption.

Awakening the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils and targeting a fourth-tier magical beast right away was quite a heavy pressure for her current self.

Seemingly sensing the young master's worry, or perhaps feeling dissatisfied with herself for not succeeding for so long, Qing Lin's tender little face tightened, and one could clearly sense anger in her gaze.

Though he couldn't witness it with his own eyes, Chen Guan could imagine the scene of her mental standoff with the Fire Spirit Snake, where she was sternly reprimanding the opponent and issuing a final warning.

Finally, under such intense pressure, the Fire Spirit Snake could no longer hold on, completely losing itself and becoming controlled by the girl's mystical eyes, pulling it into the pupil space.

Her tensed body relaxed all at once, and the girl nearly failed to stand steadily. Chen Guan used quick hands and eyes to support her.

"Young master, I succeeded!"

Qing Lin's energy consumption was extremely high and she was exceptionally fatigued, but at this moment she was incomparably happy, reporting to the young master with a face full of excitement, much like a child showing off after getting a little red flower.

Chen Guan didn't skimp on words of praise, and smiled with shared honor, "I saw it. You were amazing, and we were all stunned by you."

He was exaggerating a bit, but the two brothers were truly stunned, feeling somewhat doubtful about life.

Initially, they had wondered why the young master would deliberately bring such a frail little girl along by his side, assuming it was due to some relationship like an old acquaintance that he took such good care of her.

They never imagined that—just how many days was this? Not even half a month—the girl who was as helpless as a chicken in their eyes now possessed the power to threaten them.

Was this still the Dou Qi Continent they knew?

A thick sense of frustration washed over their hearts, and the smiles on their faces also appeared quite forced.

Seeing them look like this, Chen Guan smiled understandingly and comforted them, "Don't overthink it. Qing Lin girl is different from ordinary people like us. A physique like the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils can't even be found a few times across the entire Dou Qi Continent. Naturally, such special physiques cannot be viewed with common sense."

Hearing this, the two brothers felt much better.

This belonged to a special case and lacked universality! Qing Lin actually wanted to comfort these two big uncles who usually treated her very well, but she was simply too exhausted with heavy eyelids, and collapsing into the young master's arms, she fell asleep the moment her head touched him.

"Let's head out first and talk after she wakes up. With this Fire Spirit Snake leading the way, finding that thing tomorrow will be much simpler."

"Young master, are we going to find..."

Wang Dalang couldn't resist his curiosity and started to ask, only to be stopped by Wang Yan's gaze.

Chen Guan shook his head and didn't mind. Anyone would be curious; it was human nature. By this time, telling them wouldn't have any impact.

"Nineteenth on the Heavenly Flame Ranking, Green Lotus Core Flame!"
