Claiming the Green Lotus Core Flame, an Uninvited Guest

The Heavenly Demon Puppet leading the way deliberately slowed its pace at Wang Chen's command.

Even so, Wang Chen and his group were advancing at a remarkably fast pace.

With the protection of the Flame Spirit, Wang Chen wasn't worried that the dark passage would affect him.

As for the Heavenly Demon Puppet, it has even less of an impact.

Although the dark passage was very deep, Wang Chen gradually traversed it as he traveled at a fast pace.

As Wang Chen ventured deeper into the passage, the fire-attribute energy within became increasingly concentrated.

However, for Wang Chen, this amount of fire-attribute energy had no impact whatsoever.

Moreover, the increasingly concentrated fire-attribute energy confirmed to Wang Chen that he was getting closer and closer to his destination.

Sensing the intense fire-attribute energy, Wang Chen intentionally quickened his pace.

As Wang Chen increased his speed, the passage was finally coming to an end.

As Wang Chen rounded another corner, a fiery red light emanated from the end of the passage not far away.

Seeing this, Wang Chen was also very pleased.

After walking for so long, we're finally approaching our destination.

"This Green Lotus Core Flame truly lives up to its reputation as Heavenly Flames buried deep underground; this passage is damn deep."

Wang Chen sighed and quickly headed towards the end of the passage.

This short distance wouldn't take long; in the blink of an eye, Wang Chen and the Heavenly Demon Puppet arrived at the end of the passage.

At this moment, Wang Chen also saw the other side of the passage.

A fiery red underground world.

Inside the enormous cavern, fiery red magma flowed slowly.

Occasionally, huge bubbles will rise from the lava.

A moment later, with a slight sound, it exploded with a loud "bang".

Fiery magma erupted from it, as beautiful as a fiery red firework.

"It's time!"

Standing at the end of the passage, looking at the Underground Magma World, Wang Chen silently muttered something to himself before ordering the Heavenly Demon Puppet to step inside.

I followed closely behind.

Although in the original story, the Green Lotus Core Flame was only protected by a Fourth-Order Magical Beast, the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Serpent.

But that was after Queen Medusa had taken the Green Lotus Core Flame.

Who knows what kind of guardian monsters will appear before that?

After all, it's only natural that a rare treasure like the Green Lotus Core Flame would be guarded by a fifth or sixth-tier magical beast.

Of course, although Wang Chen was quite cautious, he wasn't overly worried.

Even Queen Medusa from the original story was able to take away the Green Lotus Core Flame, so Wang Chen believed that even if its protective power was stronger than what Huohuo saw, it was still only slightly stronger.

With Wang Chen's current strength, it shouldn't be a problem.

The moment the Heavenly Demon Puppet and Wang Chen stepped into the passage, there was movement within the magma.

A Two-Headed Fire Spirit Serpent emerged from the lava, then spewed two mouthfuls of lava directly at Wang Chen and the Heavenly Demon Puppet.

"Receive!"

Wang Chen had no interest in playing games with the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Serpent, so he used his powerful Dou Qi to lift it up.

"Hiss hiss hiss!"

Under Wang Chen's powerful Dou Qi, the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Serpent was unable to break free and could only roar from time to time to intimidate Wang Chen.

Wang Chen didn't take the threat of this tiny magical beast to heart at all.

If it weren't for the fact that this magical beast might be of some use later, Wang Chen might have killed it outright.

There are no precise coordinates for finding the Green Lotus Core Flame within the underground magma. Even for Wang Chen, finding the Green Lotus Core Flame would be extremely difficult.

After all, being in underground magma can shield one's ability to perceive the soul to some extent, and it also increases the energy consumption.

Even with Wang Chen's formidable Soul Power, he couldn't guarantee that he could quickly locate the Green Lotus Core Flame.

Having a guide is actually quite helpful.

After all, Wang Chen didn't know whether the underground magma was guarded by a Two-Headed Fire Spirit Serpent or by other magical beasts.

Therefore, Wang Chen naturally dared not kill the magical beast that knew the approximate location of the Green Lotus Core Flame immediately.

Wang Chen freely released his aura above the magma.

They wanted to test the waters and see if there were any other high-level magical beasts inside the magma.

If not, then Wang Chen would have no choice but to forcibly control the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Serpent and head towards the Green Lotus Earth Core within the underground magma.

Just as Wang Chen was releasing his aura, the underground magma stirred once again.

"As expected, there are other magical beasts."

In the original story, Queen Medusa left behind this Two-Headed Fire Spirit Serpent, probably because it was a serpentine magical beast.

Seeing the movement within the magma below, Wang Chen understood the situation from the original story.

Without hesitation, Wang Chen took out another Dou Zun- level Heavenly Demon Puppet from his Storage Ring and had it control the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Serpent.

Regardless of the level of the magical beast below, this Two-Headed Fire Spirit Serpent can be considered a guide to finding the Green Lotus Core Flame.

Wang Chen naturally wanted to keep a backup plan.

"Roar!!!"

Just as Wang Chen had arranged for the Heavenly Demon Puppet to control the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Serpent, the monster in the underground magma rushed out.

It was a lizard-shaped monster covered in flames.

In Wang Chen's perception, this magical beast was probably only at the Tier 5.

However, his eyes gleamed red, making him appear extremely crazed.

However crazy it was, it was of no use to Wang Chen.

A mere Fifth-Order Magical Beast is no match for Wang Chen.

It didn't take much effort at all; Wang Chen easily captured the crazed lizard monster alive.

However, unlike the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Serpent which only roared in threat, the captured lizard monster not only roared but also resisted fiercely.

Even when his own body was severely injured, he still did not stop.

Furthermore, the worsening of its injuries intensified the red glow in the lizard monster's eyes.

It's like a madman who doesn't feel pain.

Wang Chen naturally wouldn't waste his time dealing with such a mad monster that was impossible to communicate with.

He easily crushed it and obtained a Tier 5 fire-attribute Magic Core.

"It seems we still need to start with the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Serpent."

Just as Wang Chen turned to examine the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Serpent, the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Serpent was also startled.

Wang Chen's swift and decisive actions had terrified it.

The crazy lizard that often bullied it was easily killed, so it certainly couldn't possibly resist Wang Chen.

If Wang Chen gets carried away with killing, he might just wipe it out too, and then it will have nothing left.

As a Tier 4 magical beast, the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Serpent still possesses a certain level of intelligence.

This is far superior to that previous Tier 5 crazed lizard monster.

As the saying goes, a wise person knows when to yield!

The same principle applies to Warcraft as well.

Aside from those exceptionally stubborn monsters, most monsters don't tend to fight to the death.

Of course, this assumes the magical beasts possess a certain level of intelligence.

The Tier 4 Two-Headed Fire Spirit Serpent falls right within this range.

The moment it saw Wang Chen looking over, the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Serpent immediately stopped roaring and resisting, and obediently lowered its head.

This indicates that they have surrendered.

Seeing this, Wang Chen couldn't help but find it amusing.

When we captured the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Serpent, it kept hissing and threatening us.

The Two-Headed Fire Spirit Serpent surrendered immediately after killing just one Tier 5 lizard monster.

As expected, beasts are creatures that fear power but not morality.

If we don't make an example of them, this Two-Headed Fire Spirit Serpent might not have surrendered so readily.

Now that the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Serpent has surrendered, Wang Chen naturally has no interest in killing it.

After all, Wang Chen still needed it to guide him to the location of the Green Lotus Core Flame.

"Take me to a place within the magma that possesses unique fire energy."

Without hesitation, Wang Chen immediately gave the command to the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Serpent.

Upon hearing Wang Chen's words, the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Serpent immediately nodded, indicating that it knew the location.

"You'd better not try any underhanded tricks. Otherwise, even if you escape into the lava, I can still find you and kill you."

Upon hearing Wang Chen's warning, the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Serpent immediately stiffened.

That really is its idea.

Once you enter the lava, run away immediately.

The lava was its territory. As long as it hid in the lava, it didn't believe Wang Chen could kill it.

After all, Wang Chen didn't use the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils to control the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Serpent, so it naturally couldn't be as devoted as in the original story.

Deception and betrayal are commonplace in Warcraft.

Those extremely loyal magical beasts are still very rare.

Otherwise, humans wouldn't sing praises in various travelogues and journals.

However, Wang Chen was no novice.

Naturally, they couldn't just let the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Serpent enter the magma without taking any countermeasures.

Even though the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Serpent has rebelled, Wang Chen is not worried about being harmed.

But that would be too troublesome, and it would also delay the search for the Green Lotus Core Flame.

"Go!"

Wang Chen directly separated a wisp of his Soul Power and sent it into the mind of the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Serpent.

If the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Serpent makes any unusual move, Wang Chen can easily shatter its soul.

Sensing the terrifying fluctuations in its mind, the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Serpent abandoned its scheming thoughts.

They began leading Wang Chen towards the location of the Green Lotus Core Flame.

With the protection of the Flame Spirit, Wang Chen naturally had no worries about the effects of the magma on him.

Moreover, the two Heavenly Demon Puppet at the Dou Zun level beside him were extremely resistant to high temperatures.

Moreover, it was a special Heavenly Demon Puppet crafted by Wang Chen using the Flame Spirit, making it even more resistant to fire.

Similarly, it will not be affected by the terrifying temperature of the magma for a short period of time.

Protected by two Dou Zun- level Heavenly Demon Puppet on his left and right, Wang Chen followed the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Serpent and quickly ventured deeper into the magma.

As they ventured deeper, the temperature around them rose higher and higher.

Wang Chen also created two more Flame Spirit to add a layer of protection to the Heavenly Demon Puppet on his left and right.

As for himself, there aren't any major problems yet.

After all, his own Soul Power was terrifying, and he also had so many Flame Spirit protecting him.

It's just magma and high temperature; it's a minor problem.

After diving for about an hour, the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Serpent stopped, no longer daring to descend any deeper.

"You can leave now."

Sensing the frantic surge of energy from the surrounding flames, Wang Chen immediately released the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Serpent.

Since he had already sensed the aura of the Green Lotus Core Flame, the absence of the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Serpent made little difference.

Since it had at least shown him the way, Wang Chen didn't make things difficult for it.

"Call out!"

Upon receiving Wang Chen's command, the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Serpent darted out with a "whoosh".

Without turning back, it even increased its speed, as if some demon was behind it.

Seeing the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Serpent leave, Wang Chen didn't pay any more attention and headed directly towards the location of the Green Lotus Core Flame that he had sensed.

"Arrive!"

Seeing the area enveloped in azure light ahead, Wang Chen knew he had arrived at his destination.

Without hesitation, he quickened his pace and plunged into the azure light.

Once inside, Wang Chen saw the situation inside.

In the middle of the green mango, there is a green lotus flower.

The blue lotus has eight petals.

The eight green leaves are as beautiful as the most perfect and flawless jade, naturally formed.

It looks crystal clear at first glance, making it irresistible.

Within that blue lotus flower, there was also a small lotus platform, about three or four feet in size.

Some of the holes on the lotus platform were still emitting faint glows.

At the very center of the lotus platform was a blue flame, resembling a lotus flower, which was slowly rotating.

As the blue flame rotated, the energy also increased and decreased.

At the very bottom of the blue lotus is an extremely thin root, more than ten meters long.

The rhizome is covered with countless tiny tendrils.

As these tentacles swayed, Wang Chen could clearly sense that they were greedily devouring the raging fire-attribute energy within the surrounding magma.

This blue lotus flower floated suspended in the endless lava.

Like duckweed on the ocean, drifting and wandering everywhere.

If it weren't for the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Serpent guiding the way, Wang Chen really wouldn't have been able to find such a relatively tiny blue lotus flower in such a vast Underground Magma World.

After carefully examining it for a few moments, Wang Chen did not hesitate and began to retrieve the Heavenly Flames.

Wang Chen approached cautiously, making sure the tentacles didn't touch him.

Although Wang Chen's own Dou Qi was very strong, he didn't want to try and see if those tentacles could actually absorb his Dou Qi.

In this underground world surrounded by lava, Wang Chen wouldn't be so reckless.

Arriving above the Green Lotus, they planned to first control the Heavenly Flames.

This would also make it easier for him to seize the lotus treasure later.

Wang Chen's powerful Dou Qi began to penetrate into the interior of the blue lotus.

The moment Wang Chen's Dou Qi entered, the Green Lotus Core Flame, which had been slowly rotating, seemed to be stimulated and its rotation speed increased directly.

As the Green Lotus Core Flame accelerated its rotation, the surrounding energy also began to surge wildly.

Upon realizing this situation, Wang Chen went all out and immediately increased his output once again.

The violent and powerful Dou Qi instantly enveloped the Green Lotus Core Flame within the lotus platform.

Realizing Wang Chen's purpose, the Green Lotus Core Flame instinctively resisted even more fiercely.

However, for Wang Chen, this newly born Green Lotus Core Flame, having lost the initiative, was powerless to resist.

After all, in the original story, Queen Medusa was able to forcibly take away the Green Lotus Core Flame, let alone Wang Chen, who has cheat codes.

The powerful Dou Qi instantly drew the Green Lotus Core Flame from the lotus flower.

In that instant, the Green Lotus Core Flame's resistance intensified, and Wang Chen's Dou Qi consumption became even more terrifying.

Fortunately, Wang Chen is no ordinary person, and he can sustain this kind of exertion for a while.

Without hesitation, Wang Chen immediately took out the Jade Ruler he had prepared beforehand from his Storage Ring and went to the connection between the blue lotus and the root.

With a gentle stroke of the Jade Ruler, the perfect, work-of-art-like Green Lotus fell off.

Wang Chen couldn't even care less about the Jade Ruler in his hand; he quickly dropped it to catch the falling Green Lotus.

Using his Soul Power, he controlled the Jade Ruler to pick out the Earth Fire Lotus Seeds and put them into Jade Bottle.

"Strengthen! Strengthen!"

The instant Wang Chen took the Earth Fire Lotus Seeds, he immediately activated his Enhancement Ability on the blue lotus.

This blue lotus, which was already unclaimed, was enhanced twice by Wang Chen.

"Receive!"

After the enhancement was completed, Wang Chen immediately used his Dou Qi to suppress the Green Lotus Core Flame into the enhanced azure lotus.

Originally, this blue lotus was a treasure that nurtured the Green Lotus Core Flame.

After Wang Chen's two further enhancements, the suppression of the Green Lotus Core Flame became even stronger.

After being imprisoned within the blue lotus, the Green Lotus Core Flame was utterly powerless to resist.

It is impossible to interfere with the outside world through the "prison" of the blue lotus.

"Just as I expected."

Seeing this, Wang Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

He intended to use the Green Lotus Core Flame to exchange for the alchemy inheritance from the Yao Lao; he wouldn't absorb it himself.

However, it will be several years before the time is right for an exchange.

If the blue lotus cannot shut off the Green Lotus Core Flame, then Wang Chen will really be in some trouble.

Fortunately, everything unfolded as he predicted, and the worst-case scenario did not occur.

After placing the blue lotus into a new, specially reinforced Storage Ring, Wang Chen quickly headed upwards.

Now that he had finished his business here, Wang Chen had no interest in wandering around the Magma World.

This trip back will be much faster than the trip here.

Since the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Serpent was needed to lead the way at that time, Wang Chen could only slow down.

Now, there's no need to suppress his speed anymore; Wang Chen is simply speeding through the Magma World at top speed.

"Bang!!!"

The quietly flowing lava suddenly exploded, sending a figure flying out.

Indeed, this person is Wang Chen, who went down into the Underground Magma World to seize the Heavenly Flames.

"Phew~~"

"They're finally out."

Living in that underground world filled with lava didn't feel very good.

In other words, Wang Chen's strength is quite good, otherwise he would have developed claustrophobia.

After calming himself down a bit, Wang Chen immediately headed towards the outside of the passage.

Having already traversed the passage once, Wang Chen was naturally much more familiar with it.

The speed is naturally much faster than before.

The moment Wang Chen stepped out of the passage, a chilling aura emanated from the west.
