Subduing the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake

"Young Master, be careful. I can vaguely sense that there really is something inside that magma, and it's very powerful... But don't worry, Young Master. I'll do everything I can to control it."

Hearing Lin Feng's words, Qing Lin clenched her small hands into fists, her little face showing an unusually serious expression.

Lin Feng nodded. His Dou Qi surged rapidly, and the Purple Cloud Wings abruptly shot out from his back.

Immediately afterward, his body darted into the air and slowly flew above the magma.

A crimson Dou Qi Gauze Robe completely enveloped his body, while his Soul Perception spread outward and cautiously scanned the surroundings.

After all, in such a harsh environment, if anything went wrong, who knew what might happen next?

The temperature inside the cavern was truly terrifyingly high.

Even though Lin Feng himself was a Fire Attribute Dou Practitioner, the faint mist spat out by the magma bubbles—

was not only scorching, but also contained a kind of Fire Poison!

Sensing this, Lin Feng hurriedly swallowed an Antidote Pill.

Even so, he still did not dare breathe in the surrounding air carelessly.

Only when he could no longer hold his breath did he cautiously let in the tiniest bit of air and inhale it.

Yet, even though he inhaled only an extremely small amount each time—

his head still grew somewhat dizzy whenever the toxic gas entered his body.

Had he not taken an Antidote Pill beforehand, he likely would have been unable to endure it and plunged headfirst into the scorching magma long ago.

However, knowing the danger, Lin Feng did not dare stray too far from the passage. He merely kept circling above the nearby magma.

Only while flying in the air did Lin Feng come to feel even more keenly just how enormous this underground cavern was.

The flowing magma around him had practically gathered here into a vast magma lake.

Occasionally, as a scorching wave of air swept over, a fiery-red pillar of magma would suddenly erupt from the magma lake.

And whenever that happened, it sent Lin Feng, flying above it, into a cold sweat.

Although he had the protection of the Dou Qi Gauze Robe, after circling above the nearby magma several times—

the burning pain on his skin only grew increasingly severe.

Before long, Qing Lin's somewhat shrill cry suddenly rang out. "Young Master, it's appeared beneath you! Come back quickly!"

Hearing that sharp cry, Lin Feng's scalp immediately went numb. Without hesitation, he instantly turned around.

With a flap of his wings, he shot desperately toward the entrance of the passage.

The instant Lin Feng moved, a muffled boom erupted from the calm magma lake below.

Countless streams of scorching magma violently shot out in that instant.

Amid the molten rock splashing through the air, a gigantic snake-like magical beast abruptly burst out of the magma and lunged like lightning at the fleeing Lin Feng, snapping its jaws toward him.

The wildly flying magma also stirred the calm magma lake into a sudden frenzy.

Pillars of magma soared into the sky one after another, creating a spectacular sight.

But for Lin Feng, magma being blasted and splattered everywhere was hardly a good thing.

Seeing that he was not far from the shore, he hurriedly shouted, "Qing Lin, defend!"

At his words, Qing Lin's little face tightened. She commanded the Horned Viper King to lead its elite clansmen in gathering the energy of all the horned vipers, forming a shared earthen-yellow energy shield.

At the very instant the shield was completed, Lin Feng streaked past the Desert Horned Vipers and arrived behind them.

Bang!

An instant later, a tremendous collision echoed through the underground cavern.

Earthen yellow and crimson locked in a stalemate. At this moment, the strength of a magical beast tribe was displayed to the fullest.

Led by the Horned Viper King at the peak of Da Dou Shi, two third-tier, ten second-tier, and twenty peak first-tier Desert Horned Vipers—

successfully blocked this attack launched by the fourth-tier Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake.

Of course, that was also because the Fire Spirit Snake had not used its full strength.

After all, it had initially only intended to kill Lin Feng, who was at the Dou Shi level. Why would it need to go all out?

"Qing Lin, control it quickly!"

Seeing the two sides deadlocked, Lin Feng hurriedly roared.

Although the Desert Horned Vipers possessed extremely high earth-attribute defense, this was, after all, fire territory.

Without replenishment, they would not be able to hold out for long.

What was more, the gap between their levels was simply too great.

Qing Lin also knew how urgent the situation was. She hurriedly fixed her eyes on the Fire Spirit Snake and began activating her Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils.

Seeing those eyes, the Fire Spirit Snake, which had been attacking with great relish, immediately stiffened just like the previous two snake-like magical beasts.

Moments later, green flowers emerged from each of its two heads, and it was successfully brought under control.

"Mmm."

After Qing Lin controlled the Fire Spirit Snake, she covered her eyes with both hands, seeming somewhat uncomfortable.

Lin Feng hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Qing Lin, what's wrong?"

"Young Master, I'm fine. My eyes just feel a little swollen. For some time, I probably won't be able to control any other magical beasts."

Qing Lin shook her little head and spoke wearily.

Hearing that the little girl was all right, Lin Feng immediately let out a huge sigh of relief.

Looking at Qing Lin, who was merely a little exhausted, he could not help marveling once again at the power of the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils.

A little girl who had only just advanced to the Dou Practitioner level could actually control a fourth-tier magical beast.

And she herself only felt somewhat tired. He truly did not know what to say.

However, seeing Qing Lin's exhausted appearance, he could not help feeling somewhat guilty.

Over the past few days, in order to find the Green Lotus Core Flame, this little girl had truly put in tremendous effort.

No, it should be said that Qing Lin had done practically all the work, while he had been unable to help much at all.

The reason he was in such a hurry was also because he had no choice. According to the original story, the Mo Clan might also discover the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils.

To deal with those Dou Lings of the Mo Clan, he had to find a fourth-tier magical beast.

Only then could he protect both of them to the greatest extent possible.

Otherwise, if the Mo Clan really sent people, the consequences...

After some time, Qing Lin had already recovered, and she immediately questioned the Fire Spirit Snake about the Heavenly Flames.

A moment later, the little girl looked at Lin Feng happily and said as if seeking praise, "Young Master, Xiao Ling says it knows there's a green flame down below. But that flame is incredibly hot. It once tried to swallow it to increase its strength, but was injured by it instead. After that, it never dared set its sights on the flame again."

Lin Feng gently rubbed Qing Lin's hair to express his thanks.

Feeling Lin Feng's intimate gesture, Qing Lin's lips immediately curved upward.

However, after hearing of the Fire Spirit Snake's heroic deed, Lin Feng's mouth could not help twitching slightly.

He had not expected this big fellow to be so bold that it dared directly try to swallow even a Heavenly Flame.

That whole snake embodied exactly what it meant to be fearless through ignorance.
