125: Chapter 125

Xiao Bai came back to his senses and gave an awkward smile. "It's f***ing hot, let's get out of here!"

"Her Majesty the Queen is still quite concerned about me, I'm so moved."

"Don't flatter yourself. This King just wants one more bit of strength to enter the Demon Emperors Tomb."

The Alliance Army retreated to a safe zone, several dozen kilometers away from the Sea of Lava.

Everyone's morale was low and negative; they all sat in silence, resting on the spot.

Even the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon couldn't cross the lava, and the usually resourceful Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Fox Clan currently had no better solution.

"Everyone rest here; let's set up camp for now."

Xiao Bai flew into mid-air, gazing at the Sea of Lava. He wanted to sneak over and take a look once everyone was asleep at night; that familiar feeling was becoming stronger and stronger.

Chapter 165: The golden bowl is truly awesome

The night was deep; the area around the camp was pitch black, and the bright moonlight was obscured by dark clouds.

The brightness from earlier seemed to be intentionally helping Xiao Bai, but he failed to live up to the Moon Sister's good intentions. Seeing the Queen's aged Face, he couldn't bring himself to do anything.

The clouds behind the huge rocky mountain looked as if they had been scorched by fire; that was the vast, scorching Sea of Lava stretching for hundreds of miles.

Xiao Bai snuck out of the camp, preparing to head toward that area.

Tian Kui and Feng Yun were already standing quietly behind him.

"Where are you going?"

In the silent night, the sudden voice gave Xiao Bai a start.

"Uh... my stomach hurts a bit, I might have diarrhea. I wanted to go a bit further away to take care of it, didn't want to stink up the place for you two."

Tian Kui tossed him a small bottle. "Take this with you. It can cool things down quickly; you might find it useful."

Xiao Bai looked bitter. "Saintess, I'm not pooping out charcoal. Shouldn't you be giving me tools for relieving myself?"

"If you don't like it, you can throw it away anytime. Yuner and I are going to sleep; take your time."

Feng Yun stood to the side in silence; he wasn't interested at all in what Xiao Bai was going to do.

"Fine, you two go to sleep! I'm off."

After they went into the tent, Xiao Bai took flight and headed toward the lava. He felt that the red dragon looked familiar, and if he didn't go and investigate, he wouldn't be able to sleep peacefully.

Back in the tent, Feng Yun couldn't help but ask, "Do you really believe what that lecherous snake said?"

"I don't believe it anyway. He's definitely going out to sneak a snack in the middle of the night while we're all asleep."

Tian Kui was unconcerned. "If you're so worried about him, you can follow him and see."

She stretched, her Face full of weariness.

"I'm going to sleep. We've been on the road for three days and three nights; I definitely need a good rest to recover my state."

Feng Yun wanted to follow and check, but due to pride, he could only lie down and sleep.

At this moment, Xiao Bai had already arrived at the shore of the Sea of Lava.

He picked up a large, dark rock and threw it into the yellow lava; it was instantly melted.

It was much hotter than the temperature at the edge, as if it could melt anything.

"I feel like my d*ck is about to melt. Even at the edge, I can barely stand this heat."

Xiao Bai decisively transformed into a White Python; in this form, his physical strength would be fully enhanced.

He released the White Bone Ghost Mother's skill, instantly turning his skin into white bone, giving his defense an epic boost.

It looked a bit eerie, like a giant python skeleton with all its skin eaten away. He kept testing the edge of the lava.

The temperature here was much lower than the yellow lava in the middle, appearing dark red.

He used his white bone snake tail to slowly test the temperature of the lava; it felt okay, within a bearable range.

He still didn't have the courage to jump directly into the middle of the lava. If his body couldn't withstand it, he would be completely done for, not even leaving bone scraps behind.

Xiao Bai took some weapons out of his qiankun bag and threw them into the yellow lava; some were even crafted by so-called master smiths.

Sizzle! After being tossed in, they instantly vaporized, not even qualifying to turn into molten iron.

He tried many methods, but none could resist the scorching heat of the lava.

Finally, he had to take out his trump card treasure. Xiao Bai slowly pulled out the golden bowl; all he was missing was a kasaya to go beg for alms.

"Buddy, I have to rely on you this time. You're a supreme treasure of the Buddhist school and have never disappointed me."

"You have to live up to your status of being limited to three uses a month."

Xiao Bai slowly enlarged the golden bowl and tossed it into the yellow lava, praying silently that it could withstand the insane high temperature.

If it really couldn't hold up, he would just have to accept his fate, which would mean the golden bowl's limit was only dealing with a Ninth-Level Demon King, and against the Emperor Realm, it was just a useless bowl.

He didn't even dare to open his eyes as he watched the golden bowl fall into the lava.

A crisp splash sounded; Xiao Bai happily opened his eyes. The golden bowl was floating steadily on the lava, completely unaffected.

"Awesome! As expected of a supreme Buddhist treasure, it has never disappointed me."

"Come here!"

Xiao Bai used his magic power to guide the golden bowl back to the shore. He quickly shrank his body; after all, his original form was over sixty meters long, and it really wouldn't fit on a golden bowl that was only a meter in diameter.

Before boarding, he specifically applied the cooling oil Tian Kui had given him all over his body, with special protection for his two kun kun, fearing they might get burned.

After jumping onto the golden bowl, he found it was very cool inside, not burning his feet at all, effectively isolating the scorching lava outside.

"It seems my worry was a bit unnecessary."

"Did the Little Cute Girl System secretly upgrade the golden bowl? It feels much stronger than before."

The golden bowl drifted slowly like a small boat on the vast Sea of Lava, wandering aimlessly.

After drifting for more than half an hour, he still didn't see the dragon that had attacked Ao Wuming.

"It's so big here, where should I look? Do I have to dive into the lava?"

"That doesn't seem right, though. The golden bowl is open at the top; the lava would pour in, and then I'd really be done for."

Just as Xiao Bai was contemplating his next step, two unknown strip-like creatures appeared around the golden bowl.

They were hiding under the lava, swimming back and forth around Xiao Bai, forming a circle with a diameter of over ten meters.

Xiao Bai was a bit panicked. There had clearly only been one before, so where did two more come from? Their size was clearly much smaller than that previous dragon, at most about twenty meters.

He shouted, "What kind of Prodigy is this? Show yourself!"

This was mainly to bolster his own courage and had no practical effect; instead, it made the two unknown creatures speed up.

A huge whirlpool quickly formed under the golden bowl, dragging Xiao Bai into the lava along with it.

At this moment, Xiao Bai's vision went blank; he seemed to see his grandmother, who had been dead for many years, waving at him.

"Ah, I shouted the wrong thing! If I could do it over, I definitely wouldn't act so cool again."

The golden bowl immediately activated its defensive mode, using a layer of golden light to block the incoming lava, forcefully pulling Xiao Bai back from his grandmother's hands.

"Oh my god, did it have to be so thrilling?"

"Well done! If the golden bowl could Take Human Form, I'd definitely reward it with dozens of female demons to play with."

Xiao Bai finally saw the appearance and features of the two unknown creatures; they were two Xiao Jiao Long.

They were swimming in S-curves around the golden bowl, like two bodyguards escorting the golden bowl as it fell to the bottom of the lava.

After more than ten minutes, the golden bowl carried Xiao Bai to the bottom of the lava, over a thousand meters deep.

One Xiao Jiao Long, like a curious baby, circled over and used its sharp claws to gently poke the layer of golden light at the mouth of the bowl, only to be bounced away by the golden light.

Both Xiao Jiao Long simultaneously Take Human Form, appearing similar to children; their heads were still those of dragons, and their bodies were covered in red scales.

Their tails, however, were white and looked a bit like a snake's.

"Brother, what kind of monster is inside this big golden bowl?"

"Sister, stay further away. This thing is strange; it just bounced me away."

Chapter 166: It really is Chi Lin

The Xiao Jiao Long that looked like a little boy slowly walked forward, keeping a safe distance from the golden bowl.

He widened his eyes and looked into the golden bowl, seeing a snake skeleton over a meter long lying there; looking closely, it was actually moving.

A pair of large black eyes darted back and forth, and a few white hairs could faintly be seen at the corners of its mouth.

"What kind of monster is this? It turned into a bone but can still move; it seems to still be alive."

"Xiaoxia, go call Mother over. I'll stay here and watch the monster."

"Okay! Brother, be careful."

The little girl dragon spoke in a cute, childish voice; she was very playful and adorable.

Xiao Bai rolled his eyes at the curious Xiao Jiao Long.

"What are you looking at? You're the monster! Your whole family are monsters!"

"If you've got the guts, come in and fight me one-on-one. Do you think I'm afraid of you?"

The Xiao Jiao Long was furious. He put his hands on his hips and pointed at Xiao Bai. "If you've got the guts, come out! What kind of skill is it to hide in a turtle shell?"

Xiao Bai cursed, "You little thing, you're trying to get me killed, aren't you? It's all lava around here, at least five or six thousand degrees."

"If I come out, I'll die instantly, and not even scraps will be left. If you've got the guts, follow me to the shore, and we'll fight three hundred rounds."

"You come out! If it weren't for Mother not allowing me to go ashore, I'd definitely beat you into a pulp, you monster."

They kept cursing at each other like this for over half an hour, leaving Xiao Bai's mouth dry and his lips pale.

He hurriedly took a water bottle out of his qiankun bag and drank. "You little brat, who did you learn to curse from? You almost outdid me."

"Does that need learning? I was born good at arguing; my younger siblings couldn't beat me in an argument."
