Seeing Jiang Cheng so confident, Queen Medusa did not pursue the matter further. After all, he was a Dou Saint; these flames should pose no threat to him.
As the two plummeted downward at high speed, the temperature inside rose at a visible rate. Even Queen Medusa, a Half-Step Dou Ancestor, began to sweat profusely.
Jiang Cheng took out something resembling a crystal stone. A cool sensation spread across both their bodies, as comforting as eating an ice pop beneath the blazing sun.
Medusa curiously examined the crystal in Jiang Cheng's hand and asked, "What is this? Why does it contain such terrifying ice-element energy?"
"This is a supreme treasure from the Extreme North, an Ice Crystal Stone. As long as a small amount of Dou Qi is infused into it, the Ice Crystal Stone can ward off most of the heat from fire-element energy."
Jiang Cheng answered softly.
He had obtained the Ice Crystal Stone while traveling through the Extreme North years ago, trading for it from a Dou Venerate Expert.
He had thought of keeping it to chill his drinks, but who would have expected it to come in handy today? At least it had not wasted one of his Yin Yang Profound Dragon Pills.
Looking at the vast underground world before him, Jiang Cheng could not help but sigh. The magma boiled ceaselessly like ferocious beasts.
Thick magma pillars, each as wide as a water barrel, shot into the air, making the once-calm magma even more surging and violent.
The scorching magma pillars resembled savage fire dragons, carving arcs of death through mid-air as they blasted straight toward the passage.
Queen Medusa had once fought the Magical Beast here. Without question, that Dou Ling-level Magical Beast had been no match for her.
A single slap had left it dizzy and disoriented.
Jiang Cheng disdainfully took out his Folding Fan and gave the fire-dragon-like magma a casual wave. The violent magma pillar instantly shattered apart.
Queen Medusa said, "That cunning beast is here again."
As Queen Medusa's words fell, a piercing roar echoed throughout the underground world. From the boiling magma, a snake-shaped Magical Beast slowly poked out its head.
This Magical Beast was dozens of meters long, its body covered in scales like those of a Qilin. Even more surprisingly, it possessed two enormous heads!
It was none other than the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake. It generally lived in extremely hot regions, surviving by devouring magma, and possessed tremendous evolutionary potential.
At birth, it was merely a First-Tier Magical Beast. If it encountered sufficient Opportunities, it might evolve into a Sixth-Tier Magical Beast comparable to a Dou Emperor Expert!
The Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake did not dare make any move. It warily observed the two humans before it, continuously letting out ear-piercing roars.
Especially when it saw Queen Medusa, the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake actually felt afraid.
What the hell? Why was it this crazy woman again?!
Queen Medusa curled a finger seductively. "Little snake, come here."
The Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake's two heads looked at each other, but it obediently slithered over and allowed Queen Medusa to stroke their heads.
"You and I are both Magical Beasts. I had no choice but to attack you back then. This time, you are not allowed to make any moves."
The Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake nodded repeatedly. It had already witnessed this woman's strength, so naturally it did not dare entertain any further thoughts. Otherwise, it would get beaten again.
However, after seeing Jiang Cheng, the human, the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake cast him a puzzled look. Why had this human come here as well?
Jiang Cheng raised his head and looked at the enormous creature before him. "This Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake's bloodline is far too low. It is completely unsuitable as a spirit pet. Forget it, let it remain here."
Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake: "???"
Was that polite?
But it was true. The greatest opportunity available to this Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake was the magma here, and in the future it could only break through to become a Sixth-Tier Magical Beast. Compared to the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, the difference was like heaven and earth.
Thus, Jiang Cheng had no intention of taking it as his mount.
Queen Medusa placed one hand on her waist. "How do you plan to go down? Without my Snake Tail, This King will be slower."
Jiang Cheng smiled. As Dou Qi surged from his body like Surging Waves, the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake finally recognized this human's strength. It immediately retreated into the magma, only daring to reveal its two heads.
Because there were spatial barriers around Heavenly Flames, it would not be easy to tear through space and enter. Jiang Cheng simply brought Queen Medusa with him, tearing through space to arrive outside the Green Lotus Platform, saving them a great deal of time.
"Queen Medusa, I will have to offend you next. Because of the spatial conditions, and because you have yet to break through to the Dou Zong realm, this is the only way."
"What?"
Before she could react, Jiang Cheng swept her into a princess carry. Queen Medusa was very light, weighing only around forty kilograms. Since it had been so sudden, Medusa's arms unconsciously wrapped around Jiang Cheng's neck.
The rich scent of milk from her body washed over him.
Medusa said with a flushed face, "You libertine, you are doing this to This King again."
"Can't be helped. You're just too weak."
Jiang Cheng directly tore open the space before them. Under the astonished gaze of the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake, he stepped inside. As the shattered spatial wall vanished, the two had disappeared without a trace, as if they had never come at all.
Even the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake was dumbfounded. What had just happened?
Instantaneous Movement?!
At an unknown depth beneath the magma, the two slowly emerged from the void.
The temperature here was already enough to burn even stone. The blazing red magma was nearly nowhere to be seen; in its place was blue magma. Its heat far surpassed ordinary flames, naturally rising by hundreds of times or more.
Protected by Jiang Cheng's Dou Qi, Queen Medusa suffered no harm at all. Instead, her body felt cool and comfortable.
"Is this where the Green Lotus Core Flame was born?"
Jiang Cheng frowned as he stared ahead.
Before the two of them, azure light enveloped this sea of magma. Within that azure glow, a blue lotus stood gently.
Returning to this place once again, Queen Medusa could not help but be moved. Back then, she had suffered greatly and endured countless hardships to obtain the Green Lotus Core Flame, only for it to become someone else's wedding dress.
Fortunately, she was about to break through to the Dou Zong realm, so it could still be considered a blessing in disguise.
Queen Medusa licked her alluring Red Lips as she looked at Jiang Cheng's clean neck. If she tasted Jiang Cheng's blood, could she directly advance to the Dou Zong realm?
Sensing the Fiery Light, Jiang Cheng turned around and happened to see Medusa staring at his neck like a vampire. He reminded her,
"I advise you to put away those wicked thoughts. My blood is not something you can withstand."
