"Young Master, be careful. I can vaguely sense that something is indeed lurking within the magma... and it's very strong. But don't worry, I will do everything I can to control it!"
Hearing Lin Feng's words, Qing Lin clenched her small fists tightly, her usually delicate face showing an uncharacteristically serious expression.
Lin Feng nodded. His dou qi surged rapidly, and with a swift motion, the Purple Cloud Wings shot out from his back.
In the next instant, his figure soared into the air, gliding steadily over the magma.
A scarlet dou qi cloak enveloped his body, completely shielding him. At the same time, his soul perception spread outward, cautiously scanning the surroundings.
After all, in such an extreme environment, even a small mistake could lead to unpredictable and fatal consequences.
The temperature within the underground cavern was unimaginably high.
Even though Lin Feng himself was a fire-attribute cultivator, the faint mist exhaled by the bubbling magma carried not only searing heat but also fire poison!
Sensing the danger, Lin Feng swiftly swallowed a detoxification pill.
Even so, he dared not recklessly breathe in the surrounding air.
Only when he absolutely had to would he carefully take in tiny amounts of air.
Yet, despite only inhaling minimal amounts, each time the poison entered his body, a wave of dizziness would follow.
If not for the detoxification pill he had taken earlier, he might have already succumbed to the poison and plunged straight into the scorching magma below.
Due to the immense danger, Lin Feng did not dare to stray too far from the passage. He simply hovered over the nearby magma, cautiously surveying his surroundings.
Flying above the lake of fire, Lin Feng gradually became aware of the sheer vastness of the cavern.
The flowing magma had almost completely converged into a massive magma lake.
Occasionally, as waves of scorching heat surged forth, pillars of fiery red magma would suddenly erupt from the lake.
Each time this happened, Lin Feng's heart pounded violently in fear.
Although his dou qi cloak offered some protection, after circling over the magma several times, the scorching sensation against his skin became increasingly unbearable.
Suddenly, an urgent, sharp cry echoed from behind—
"Young Master! It's right below you! Hurry back!"
Hearing the panicked shout, Lin Feng's scalp went numb. Without hesitation, he spun around mid-air.
With a powerful flap of his wings, he shot toward the tunnel entrance at full speed!
The moment Lin Feng moved, a deafening explosion erupted from the once-calm magma lake below.
Boom!
Countless jets of blazing-hot magma erupted violently into the air!
Amidst the fiery rain, a massive, serpent-like magic beast burst forth from the lava, lunging toward Lin Feng with lightning speed!
The chaos of flying magma instantly turned the previously tranquil lake into a raging inferno.
Towering pillars of fire shot into the sky, creating a truly awe-inspiring yet terrifying spectacle.
But for Lin Feng, the sight of magma splattering everywhere was nothing short of disastrous.
Seeing that he was almost at the cavern's edge, he hastily shouted, "Qing Lin, defense!"
Upon hearing his command, Qing Lin immediately tensed up, her small face filled with determination.
She swiftly commanded the Horned Viper King and its elite kin to channel their combined energy, forming a large, earth-colored energy shield.
At the very last moment when the shield took shape, Lin Feng's body shot past the Desert Horned Vipers, swiftly positioning himself behind them.
Boom!
A deafening collision echoed through the underground cavern.
The clash between earth-yellow and fiery-red forces created a momentary standoff. The true strength of the beast horde was now on full display.
Under the leadership of the Horned Viper King, a peak Da Dou Shi, a combined force of two Rank 3, ten Rank 2, and twenty peak Rank 1 Desert Horned Vipers successfully blocked the attack from the fourth-rank Two-Headed Flame Spirit Serpent.
Of course, this was also because the Flame Spirit Serpent had not yet used its full power.
At first, it had only intended to kill Lin Feng, a mere Dou Shi, and didn't see the need to go all out.
"Qing Lin, control it now!"
Seeing the battle locked in a stalemate, Lin Feng shouted urgently.
Although the earth attribute of the desert horned vipers provided high defense, this was ultimately a fire-dominated environment.
Without replenishment, their endurance wouldn't last long.
Not to mention, the level difference between the two sides was simply too vast.
Understanding the urgency, Qing Lin immediately focused her gaze on the Flame Spirit Serpent, activating her Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils.
The Flame Spirit Serpent, which had been attacking aggressively, suddenly froze the moment it met her eyes—just like the previous two snake-type magic beasts.
Moments later, green floral patterns surfaced on both of its heads.
It was successfully controlled.
"Mmm…"
After completing the control, Qing Lin suddenly clutched her eyes, her expression showing discomfort.
Lin Feng hurried over and asked, "Qing Lin, are you alright?"
"Young Master, I'm fine… just some strain on my eyes. For a while, I probably won't be able to control any more magic beasts."
Qing Lin shook her head lightly, sounding exhausted.
Hearing that she was alright, Lin Feng let out a sigh of relief.
Looking at the girl who was merely slightly fatigued, he couldn't help but marvel once again at the terrifying strength of her Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils.
A girl who had just advanced to Dou Zhe had actually managed to control a Rank 4 magic beast.
And yet, she only felt a little tired afterward.
It left Lin Feng completely speechless.
However, seeing her fatigue, he felt a deep sense of guilt.
These past days, in their search for the Green Lotus Core Flame, Qing Lin had been the one doing all the work.
No, to be precise, she had done almost everything, while he himself had barely contributed.
But there was no other choice—according to the original plot, there was a chance that the Mo Clan had already discovered Qing Lin's Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils.
To deal with the Dou Ling experts of the Mo Clan, Lin Feng had to tame a Rank 4 magic beast.
Only then could he maximize their safety.
Otherwise, if the Mo Clan really sent people after them… the consequences would be unthinkable.
After some time, Qing Lin had fully recovered. Without delay, she began interrogating the Flame Spirit Serpent about the Heavenly Flame.
Moments later, the girl turned to Lin Feng with delight in her eyes.
"Young Master! Xiao Ling says that there is a blue flame deep below. But its temperature is unimaginably high! It once tried to devour the flame to enhance its strength, but instead, it was severely burned. After that, it never dared to approach it again."
Lin Feng gently ruffled Qing Lin's hair as a sign of appreciation.
Feeling his intimate gesture, a bright smile instantly bloomed on Qing Lin's face.
However, when Lin Feng processed the Flame Spirit Serpent's reckless attempt, his eyelids twitched slightly.
He hadn't expected this beast to be so bold—it actually tried to swallow a Heavenly Flame directly!
This entire snake embodied the phrase: "Ignorance is bliss."
