Chapter 11: The Sixth Rank Magical Beast – Two Headed Fire Spirit Serpent

Chapter 11: The Sixth Rank Magical Beast – Two Headed Fire Spirit Serpent

Wu Tian, the utterly confused Guardian Spirit, could only calmly turn to Medusa and admit:

"Uh… Medusa… I think my memory is a bit mixed up. I might have made a mistake…"

Medusa's beautiful eyes widened in mock shock.

"My dear Guardian Spirit… are you getting senile?!"

Wu Tian: …No comment.

Having dug his own grave, he had no choice but to lie in it.

After all, wasn't he the one who bragged about being Medusa's ancient Guardian Spirit?

Now he was exposed a mere twenty year old stray soul pretending to be an ancient relic.

No wonder she called him old.

With a flick of her wings, Medusa vanished from the sky above Rock Desert City.

Below, the city slowly returned to normal, though rumors of Medusa fighting Ice Emperor Hai Bodong quickly spread.

Journey to the Deepest Part of the Desert

Medusa flew swiftly across the vast desert.

As a transmigrator, Wu Tian already knew the exact location of the Heavenly Flame deep within the region Hai Bodong had marked on the map.

"Medusa, head directly toward the royal palace's vicinity. That's where the Heavenly Flame is."

His voice echoed mysteriously within Medusa's mind.

Medusa's ruby lips curled into a teasing smile.

"My dear Guardian Spirit, are you sure you're not just getting senile again?"

Wu Tian: …I dug this hole. Now I must fall into it.

Flight was fast, but Hai Bodong's map covered a vast area.

Even as a Dou Huang, finding the Heavenly Flame wouldn't be easy.

So…

Medusa started digging.

With her serpent body, she burrowed through the sand like a living drill, leaving behind a series of deep, winding tunnels.

Wu Tian watched the tunnels forming behind them and couldn't help but sigh:

Wow… so deep… so dark… so narrow… and so warm…

After an entire day of burrowing, Medusa finally noticed a change.

The air was growing hotter.

The fire attribute was becoming increasingly dense.

Their hearts raced with excitement.

This intense heat could only mean one thing

They were close.

Arrival at the Lava Cavern

With one final push, Medusa broke through

Into a massive underground world of fire.

Both Wu Tian and Medusa were shocked by the hellish sight before them.

A colossal natural cavern lay beneath the desert

A sea of molten lava stretching beyond the horizon.

The lava bubbled and churned, occasionally bursting into massive fireballs that shot into the air, exploding like crimson fireworks.

Medusa stood at the edge, gazing at the endless inferno in pure awe.

"An underground lava world beneath the desert…"

"If this ever erupted, the entire region would be wiped out."

Wu Tian's voice snapped her out of it.

"Medusa, be careful! Something is in the lava!"

Medusa licked her lips, her smile playful.

"Oh? Don't worry… I haven't gotten as senile as you, my dear Guardian Spirit."

Just as she finished speaking

BOOM!

The once calm lava lake exploded.

A massive creature erupted from the depths, sending molten rock raining across the cavern.

A deafening screech echoed as the mysterious beast lunged straight at Medusa.

Alongside it, several pillars of lava shot into the air, painting a truly terrifying scene.

The creature…

Was a giant serpent.

A colossal snake, nearly fifteen meters long, its entire body burning like a living ruby.

Its crimson scales shimmered like molten gemstones, each as large as a palm.

But the most terrifying part?

It had TWO HEADS.

Both vicious, fanged maws lunged at Medusa in perfect unison.

Wu Tian, witnessing this bizarre monstrosity, couldn't help but exclaim:

"Holy sh*t… THAT'S INSANE!"

A Two Headed Fire Spirit Serpent.

And not just any

A Sixth Rank Magical Beast.

"Wait…" Wu Tian's eyes narrowed.

"Why is this thing so damn strong?! It was supposed to be Fourth Rank at best!"

A Sixth Rank beast was equivalent to a Dou Huang!

And in this lava filled environment, its power was even greater.

Meanwhile, Medusa's body constitution leaned toward cold energy.

This was not good.

"Guardian Spirit… why is there a Sixth Rank magical beast here?!" Medusa's voice was filled with shock.

Wu Tian was just as stunned.

"This is a Two Headed Fire Spirit Serpent."

"When it was first born, it was only a First Rank magical beast."

"The only way it could have grown so strong…"

"…is because of the Heavenly Flame."

"It must have been here ever since the flame first began forming."

"…But for it to reach Sixth Rank… that's insane. It must have had an unimaginable stroke of luck."

The Battle Begins

Medusa narrowly dodged the creature's initial strike, her wings spreading wide as she took to the air.

Without hesitation, she counterattacked.

Her arms tensed

A massive crimson bow formed in her grasp, forged entirely from pure Dou Qi.

At that moment, Medusa looked breathtakingly powerful.

A true Queen of the battlefield.

SWISH!

A blazing arrow shot toward one of the serpent's heads.

But

It dodged.

And in retaliation…

FWOOOOSH!

A stream of molten lava erupted from its gaping maw, roaring toward Medusa like a flaming dragon.

Medusa's brows furrowed.

With a swift motion, she fired dozens of energy arrows, each one piercing the serpent's flesh.

But…

It didn't work.

The molten body of the beast instantly regenerated.

Inside this lava filled domain, the Two Headed Fire Spirit Serpent was almost unkillable.

The cavern shook violently as their battle intensified.

Medusa bit her lip.

"…This thing is stronger than I expected."

She hesitated for a moment.

And then

She spoke to Wu Tian softly.

"My dear Guardian Spirit… do you have any brilliant ideas on how to kill it?"

Medusa rarely asked for help.

But ever since she met Wu Tian, she found herself feeling more at ease.

Even in a dangerous situation like this…

She felt a strange comfort.

Surely…

He would have a plan.

Wu Tian stared at the towering serpent, his lips twitching.

"…A plan?"

"…How about we just run for our lives?"

And at that moment

DING!

A system notification suddenly echoed in Wu Tian's mind…
