28: Chapter 28 Evil Thoughts That Shouldn't Be Held

Seeing this, Xiao Yan finally used the Bone Chilling Flame to cover his entire body, forming a thin white film.

"Little guy, you're finally getting serious," Xiao Yan chuckled. With the Bone Chilling Flame sealed by Yao Lao, he wasn't afraid of this Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake at all.

The flames engulfing most of the Magma World churned incessantly. Over a dozen massive fire serpents stared intently at Xiao Yan, as if they would rush forward to tear him to pieces in the next second.

Xiao Yan watched the sky full of flames quietly, while the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake finally lost its last bit of patience, charging at Xiao Yan along with the dozen giant fire serpents.

Not to be outdone, Xiao Yan's small figure suddenly shot forward.

Qing Lin and Xiao Ding, watching from the tunnel, turned pale with fright.

But as the situation developed, their expressions turned to blank astonishment.

When the fiery red flames touched the white film on Xiao Yan's body, they vanished instantly, like snow meeting boiling oil.

Meanwhile, Xiao Yan flashed directly onto the head of the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake and unleashed a barrage of blows, leaving the snake dazed as scales flew everywhere.

In the entire space, only the scene of the fire spirit snake twisting and wailing remained.

The poor fire spirit snake, after this severe thrashing, finally dove into the magma and stopped showing its head.

"Heh, little beast."

Xiao Yan waved to the two people at the tunnel, indicating he was fine.

He continued to wander through this Magma World, but he was getting further and further away from Qing Lin and the other.

The reason he didn't go down directly to find the Green Lotus Core Flame's lotus seat and earth fire lotus seeds was twofold: first, he didn't know which direction they were in and searching aimlessly would waste time; second, he wanted to trigger Qing Lin's Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils.

Sure enough, the sneaky figure of the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake suddenly appeared in the distance. Xiao Yan shouted urgently to warn the two.

Then he flew toward them at full speed. Of course, the distance was very far now, and he clearly wouldn't make it in time.

Then he heard Qing Lin's high-pitched, piercing scream. In her pupils, three small green dots appeared like tiny flower buds.

Following the scream, the buds gradually transformed, emitting a faint green glow and turning into three small green flowers.

As the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake was hit by this faint light, its body instantly stiffened. The light then split into two beams, imprinting themselves on the snake's heads.

As the light shone on the snake's heads, a green flower appeared on each, and Qing Lin collapsed to the ground.

Xiao Yan, arriving just then, landed quickly and helped Qing Lin up. Looking at the now-docile Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake, he slapped it from a distance, knocking it back into the magma.

"Big brother, are you alright?" Xiao Yan handed a bottle of Medicinal Pills to Xiao Ding and asked.

"It's nothing serious, I'll be fine after a short rest." Xiao Ding took the bottle, swallowed a Medicinal Pill, and shook his head with a wry smile.

"Sigh, finding a Strange Fire in this Magma World full of flames is truly not easy!" Xiao Yan said, shaking the still-unconscious Qing Lin.

"Ying ying..." Qing Lin was shaken awake.

Shaking her groggy head, Qing Lin said, "Young Master Xiao Yan, perhaps I know where the Strange Fire is."

"Oh?"

Xiao Ding said in amazement, "How could you possibly know?"

Qing Lin smiled, cupped her hands around her small mouth, and shouted, "Come out!"

At that shout, the magma instantly split and churned, and the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake that had just been slapped down reappeared.

Xiao Ding was startled and about to run, but heard Qing Lin say, "It won't hurt us! For some reason, I can feel a strange connection with it..."

"Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils!" Yao Chen's voice rang out in his mind at the right moment.

"What are the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils?" Xiao Yan asked curiously.

"It is a type of pupil that only exists in the offspring of Snake-People and humans. Those with these pupils can create illusions in battle. Furthermore, they are the nemesis of all snake-type Demonic Beasts, with a certain chance of forming a one-sided forced connection with snake-shaped Demonic Beasts..." Yao Lao explained slowly.

"Impressive!"

Looking at Qing Lin, Xiao Yan suddenly had a strange thought.

Qing Lin keeps the fire spirit snake as a pet, and I think the fire spirit snake isn't cute enough. Coincidentally, Qing Lin is quite cute, and she isn't exactly a pure human...

Whoops!

No way, that's too beastly. I, Xiao Yan, am not that kind of person, damn!

"Young Master... it knows where the Strange Fire is." Qing Lin pointed at the fire spirit snake before her, smiling at Xiao Yan as if asking for credit.

Xiao Yan silently patted Qing Lin's head and said, "Very good."

"It says it's down there," Qing Lin looked up and said in surprise.

"Hmm, let it lead me there." Slowly releasing her, Xiao Yan said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Qing Lin's body trembled. Go in?

That's magma!

However, Qing Lin obediently closed her eyes and issued a command to the fire spirit snake.

A hint of reluctance appeared in the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake's eyes, but it eventually complied, let out a hiss at Xiao Yan, and turned to dive into the magma.

Without a moment's hesitation, Xiao Yan turned the Bone Chilling Flame into a film covering his body and followed closely behind.

The slowly flowing red magma didn't produce any heat for Xiao Yan; on the contrary, under the protection of the Bone Chilling Flame, there was a slight feeling of coolness.

But sensing his rapidly depleting Soul Power, Xiao Yan frowned. He had to find the earth fire lotus seeds as quickly as possible.

Following the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake into the Magma World, the thick heat currents significantly obstructed his vision, and he could only vaguely sense the snake ahead.

As they dove deeper, Xiao Yan clearly sensed the surrounding temperature rising rapidly. The swift loss of Soul Power caused his face to gradually turn pale.

The magma around him gradually turned green, and the temperature began to rise further. Xiao Yan finally asked Yao Chen for help, "Teacher, I'm at my limit. It's time for you to act!"

"Hehe, you've done quite well to hold on for so long." Yao Chen took over the Bone Chilling Flame, controlling it to form another pale white film outside the body, while the film Xiao Yan controlled gradually vanished.

Time passed slowly, and the surrounding magma had completely turned green.

After another ten minutes or so, a green light finally appeared ahead. As they drew closer, a green lotus came into view.

"Green Lotus Core Flame?" Yao Chen's surprised and astonished voice rang out in his mind.

Green Lotus Core Flame, ranked nineteenth on the strange fire ranking list.

Refined, fused, and sculpted by the fires of the earth over time, it gains a spirit after ten years, takes form after a hundred, and becomes a lotus after a thousand.

Xiao Yan passed through the green light and reached the top of the lotus.

The lotus had eight petals, each crystal clear, like magnificent green jade carved by the hands of a Great Master.

In the center of the lotus was a lotus seat about two or three feet wide. On the seat were many holes emitting a faint glow; inside were the earth fire lotus seeds.

Beneath the green lotus, dense roots swayed with the magma, frantically absorbing the fire-attribute energy within it.

"Do not touch those roots, or the Dou Qi in your body will be sucked dry instantly!" Yao Chen warned.

As Xiao Yan drew closer, there was no sign of any flame in the center of the lotus seat.

"Teacher, it seems the Green Lotus Core Flame has already been taken," Xiao Yan said, shaking his head.

Yao Chen condensed the pale flame into a hand and beckoned toward the center of the lotus seat, and a seven-colored light appeared in his hand.

"This is... a Seven-Colored Snake Scale? It must have been taken by Queen Medusa," Yao Chen said solemnly.

"Isn't Medusa a Snake-Person? Why would she take a Strange Fire?" Xiao Yan asked.

"Who knows. Regardless, Queen Medusa, who possesses the Snake-Person Bloodline, would never swallow a Strange Fire. Otherwise, with the cold-attribute Dou Qi in her body, it would be a death sentence!" Yao Chen sneered.

"It seems a trip to the depths of the Desert is in order," Xiao Yan also smiled faintly.
