Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame
Xiao Yan finished dealing with the Sha Mercenary Group, and it was already afternoon when he arrived at the location on the map.
"How is it, Big Brother?" Xiao Yan walked into a tent where Xiao Ding was calculating something with a pen.
Seeing Xiao Yan and Xiao Li return, Xiao Ding knew that everything had gone smoothly. He had more confidence in his genius younger brother than anyone else.
Xiao Ding smiled and shook his head, saying, "Not yet. The desert terrain is easily changed. We only had a few experienced veterans secretly survey the area, hiding it from the Sha Mercenary Group, so it wasn't too detailed."
Hearing this, Xiao Yan had no choice but to sit in the tent and wait for news, drinking the iced fruit tea that Qing Lin had carefully prepared.
Just as Xiao Yan was cultivating the Spirit Heart Soul Gathering Art for a while, a figure in the distance suddenly ran over quickly, excitedly shouting, "Leader? The Third Squad seems to have made a discovery!"
"A discovery?" Hearing this voice, the three of them were simultaneously delighted, and joy surged onto their faces. Xiao Yan also quickly withdrew from his cultivation state.
"They found a passage?"
"Hehe, it seems they found some traces. Based on our experience, there's a high probability that it's a passage leading to the underground," the mercenary who ran over grinned and said honestly.
"Good! No matter what, your squad will be rewarded when we get back!" Xiao Yan laughed loudly, eagerly following him.
"Thank you, Third Leader!" The mercenary was overjoyed upon hearing this, his energy even more abundant as he led Xiao Yan and the others at a trot.
"Make way, make way!" The mercenary leading the way shouted, clearing a path. Xiao Yan followed and walked in, glancing around and discovering with some surprise that the sunken desert area had been dug into a hole about half a meter wide by the mercenaries. He glanced into the hole, which was pitch black, with a faint heat rising from it.
Meow!
Mao Wu's voice came from the Soul Collection, telling Xiao Yan that there was a Strange Flame aura inside.
However, Xiao Yan wasn't too happy at this moment, because when he used his Soul power to sense the situation below, he discovered that there were many intricate underground passages.
It was very similar to the underground passages in the Beast Tomb of the Magical Beast Mountain Range, which meant that these underground passages were not formed naturally, but were created by Magical Beasts.
"To create passages of this size, it's likely to be snakes..."
This wasn't good news. Although snakes were naturally cold and afraid of Strange Flames, it wasn't absolute. There were also fire-attribute snake species.
"How about I send someone down to explore carefully before we go down?" Xiao Ding frowned as he looked at the pitch-black passage below, saying worriedly.
Xiao Yan shook his head slightly and said, "No need, Big Brother. If there's danger below that I can't handle, then others will only be going to their deaths."
"Third Leader, you've taken good care of us by giving us pills. If we retreat when the Mo Tie Mercenary Group is needed, wouldn't that make us look like cowards who are greedy for life and ungrateful?"
"That's right, Third Leader. If you need us, we'll go through fire and water without hesitation!"
"Through fire and water, without hesitation!"
Xiao Yan saw the shouts of the mercenaries, touched his nose, and said, "It seems that I, Xiao Yan, am being pretentious. Regardless of whether we gain anything this time, there will be pill rewards when we return! Then I'll have to trouble everyone!"
In the end, Xiao Ding chose a few experienced members in underground exploration to follow them down, in addition to the three Xiao Yan brothers, and Qing Lin, who had discovered the traces earliest, also went down into the Underground Cave.
"I hope the Strange Flame is still there."
"Qing Lin, hold me tight." Xiao Yan put one arm around Qing Lin's Willow Waist and took the lead in sliding into the Underground Cave.
Xiao Yan used his Soul power to sense the surrounding situation while using his body to feel.
Relying on Qing Lin's special perception ability and the mercenary group's experience, Xiao Yan and his group continued to explore the correct passage forward.
"Hmm? Why has the fire attribute energy here suddenly become so strong!"
As they went deeper, Xiao Yan's expression became more and more solemn. He could feel that the fire attribute energy had suddenly become much stronger. The Cultivation Method was actually operating on its own without him urging it at all, constantly refining Dou Qi.
"Third Leader, there's a discovery ahead!" After turning another corner, the mercenary responsible for exploring the path ahead shouted excitedly.
Xiao Yan's body trembled with excitement. He wiped the sweat from his face, and the four of them quickened their pace, quickly passing through this short distance, and then arrived at the end of the passage! Standing at the end of the passage, everyone was shocked by the fiery red world that appeared before their eyes.
In the huge cavern, fiery red Lava Flow slowly flowed, and occasionally huge bubbles floated up from the Lava Flow. After a moment, with a soft sound, bang, it burst open, and scorching Lava shot out from it, as brilliant as fiery red fireworks.
This was completely a Lava Flow!! Simply put, this was equivalent to a volcano buried under the desert!
If stimulated, it would erupt and form a brand new crater! "What do we do now? There's no way forward." Xiao Li looked at the Lava world flowing in front of him. This was not a place where people could come. Not to mention them, who were Dou Shi (Battle Master)s, even Da Dou Shi (Great Battle Master)s would be sending themselves to their deaths in this place! Xiao Yan slowly closed his eyes, and the Spirit Heart Soul Gathering Art was activated. A powerful Soul power spread around. Suddenly, in his Soul perception, a ball of emerald green fire attribute energy appeared in his perception.
Xiao Yan slowly opened his eyes, put Qing Lin down, took out a bottle of Ice Spirit Cold Spring from his Storage Ring, and handed it to Xiao Ding, saying, "Big Brother, I'll go ahead. This is Cold Spring, which can be used to cool down and save your life when necessary."
"Go in? Enter that magma? There's no path here! You don't expect to swim across, do you?" Hearing this, Xiao Ding's expression changed slightly, and he lightly scolded.
Xiao Yan only smiled faintly, his body slowly floating upwards as the Eagle's Wings appeared behind him.
"Dou Qi transformation wings?! Xiao Yan, you're a Dou Wang (Fighting King)?!!" Xiao Li exclaimed in surprise. Wasn't he supposed to be a Da Dou Shi (Great Battle Master)? How did he become a Dou Wang (Fighting King)?! "This is a flying Dou Technique (Fighting Technique), Big Brother, Second Brother, I'll be right back!"
Just as Xiao Yan was about to turn around and fly into the depths of the magma, a cold little hand suddenly grabbed him.
"Young Master, there seems to be something hidden inside the magma!" Qing Lin tightly grasped Xiao Yan. At this moment, her eyes emitted a faint, emerald-green light, and she seemed to vaguely see some patterns in her pupils.
Xiao Yan's eyes narrowed. With his Soul power as a Tier-5 Alchemist, he naturally sensed the presence of a Tier-4 Magical Beast beneath the magma. But Qing Lin wasn't even a Dou Zhe (Battle Practitioner), yet she could sense it too!
"Qing Lin, this girl, is unusual."
Xiao Yan gently patted the back of Qing Lin's hand and said, "Don't worry, your young master isn't so stupid that he doesn't know there's a Magical Beast under the magma."
With a whoosh, the Eagle's Wings soared above the magma. The next second, a huge black shadow emerged from the originally crimson magma, as if it had rushed up from below.
Xiao Yan smiled coldly, took out a bottle of Ice Spirit Cold Spring from his Storage Ring, and threw it down like a bomb. With a rumble, the terrifying freezing power actually froze the magma. The originally flowing magma instantly turned into black rock, blocking the mysterious creature.
He didn't have time to deal with this Magical Beast right now. He wanted to see if what was at the center of the magma world was the Strange Flame (Yi Huo)! His powerful Soul perception spread out. He didn't know how long he flew, but suddenly, a cyan lotus appeared not far away, the cyan lotus standing gently.
"Azure Lotus? Could it be the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame?!"
